Alfred on the phone, elegantly winding his way through a total bullshit reason for Bruce to be out of public: “—and as you’re well aware, the venom from the spikes of the fish creates quite an…unfortunate physical effect. I’m certain you wouldn’t want him to appear in public with a blue face, hm?”

Gen Z Wayne Enterprises Intern who’s been trying to get Bruce’s in person signature on something for three months: “Last week you said he went cliff diving.”

Alfred: “Indeed. And he dove straight into a school of fish. The fish whose poison has made him quite blue in the face.”

Intern: “And the week before that you told me he was on a vegan retreat in Sedona.”

Alfred, sweating: “Master Wayne ultimately determined vegetarianism was more…flexible.”

Intern: “The same retreat where he broke all his fingers on his right hand and couldn’t hold a pen?”

Alfred: “The very same. What a distressing moment on horseback. You have an excellent memory!”

Intern, breathing heavily into the receiver: “Alfred if you don’t tell me where he is, I’m going to go back to Wayne Enterprises and sneak into the electrical closet on the 58th floor and shut off the power for the entire building. And then I’m going to break into your Manor and take every single left shoe from his closet and swallow his fucking keys.”

*** silence ***

Alfred: And where would you like his signature, again?

#gen z doesn’t care if he’s Batman they just want his signature #<- prev tags #would be even funnier if they figured out he's Batman because of the kids somehow #like 'yeah I know Red Robin interns here he was caught on camera last month referencing stats literally no one else could know'#'i don't care as long as he /does his damn job/'#batfic #bathc

Broke: Dick hates being Batman because he’s his own vigilante and doesn’t want the responsibility of the cowl

Woke: Dick hates being Batman because he has to bulk for a few weeks beforehand in order to look convincing in the suit

I feel like Dick gets the heads up text from Bruce, groans, and turns around to hit Costco for chicken breast and greek yogurt.

Because he’s muscular as Nightwing, absolutely, but he’s not carrying as much muscle on a given day like Jason and Bruce are. He needs to be more agile than them, and as a result he’s a little leaner.

Taking on the cowl, even temporarily, means bulking up as quickly as possible. Because even if he pads the suit, the goons don’t know that. They’re still gonna hit Batman like he’s carrying the same amount of mass.

maybe I like talking about the weather okay…… it’s not awkward to me. we’ve both been outside today and the sun and clouds were there too, let’s discuss.

The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

this book-- which comes out this month (June 2026) was written by a therapist working in appalachia who realized so many of her clients' issues boiled down to "being poor." it was a primary root stressor for most of the people she was working with and she couldn't fix it.
