Comic book diatribe

I love Marvel and DC comic books as well as a lot of Manga as well. As the name suggests on this blog I'll talk about them and their various adaptations as well as any creative projects or purchases related to them. Overall I'm here to yap and have fun lol

About myself

I'm 17, and I've been into comics since I was a toddler pretty much

My favorite heroes are Batman and Spider-Man (ik basic)

I'm a big fan of history, whether it's history of comics or otherwise

Love video games like the Zelda franchise or Undertale

I adore music and listen to all kinds of it. I play trombone and piano

I like long walks

My favorite anime is One Piece but Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a very close second

OUR SCARS CAN DESTROY US

EVEN AFTER THE PHYSICAL WOUNDS HAVE HEALED.

BUT IF WE SURVIVE THEM

THEY CAN TRANSFORM US;

GIVE US THE POWER TO ENDURE,

AND THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT.

Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson's Dynamic Duo (According to Grant Morrison)

"You know, the feral young Batman from 1938 who’s out there with guns in his hand and he’s fighting vampires and crooks, I thought, well, imagine that’s Batman at 20, you know."

"And then he meets this kid when he’s late 21, and the kid’s this little working class circus kid who’s totally cocky."

"And this introverted young Norman Bates Batman is suddenly, “Wait a minute. This is the kid that died in me. This is everything that I wanted to be.”

"And the two become friends, and it’s not creepy. It’s like, “He’s my best friend and my brother and he's everything I wish I could be.”

"And the kid’s looking at him like, “He’s everything I wish I could be.”"

Currently trying to read through as much batman as I can and make a timeline of sorts. Always loved the concept but never had the means to get my own comics and stuff. Wanna make my own AU/Timeline/thing but right now I'm in the research phase lols.

I have a problem with reading books almost till their end or halfway through and then procrastinating on them though 🫩💔

Yk it's sort of funny to me how I don't see the Riddler and Tim Drake compared a lot. Both had not great but not terrible parents with relatively mundane lives. Nigma faded into the background as just a boring smart kid with an uneventful life. Tim's childhood (and even treatment by a lot of fans) is very similar. They're both goofy nerds with a bit of a creepier stalkery side and both very obsessive. Hell, some of the most memorable things either of them have ever done is try to get Batman’s attention! The big key difference is their motivators (selflessness and narcissism respectively). Robin uses the opertunitys and attention given to him to help people, and makes that obsessiveness into a tool for good while Riddler kinda just likes himself too much lol

if you want people to get into the canon comics and lead everyone away from fanon misinterpretation (which is a losing battle because there will ALWAYS be this) then why not be helpful instead of being a dick about it 🤨

the comics are hard to get into because it's hard to know where to start, and there's so much content that people are able to fill themselves in by reading fanfic or watching something on tiktok or seeing posts about it on here. perhaps instead of telling people they're stupid for not realizing your favorite character is being mishandled by others, you could write up a list of your favorite comics and/or how, if you could read them for the first time again, you would order your favorite comics to get the best reading experience. and also write your own fanfiction and draw your own fanart or make a passionate post, answer questions politely

I've been thinking to myself recently about the 'best starting place' for batman comics and like-

I think the true best method is pick what looks cool but if you do seriously want a recommendation it depends on your relationship with the character. How much do you already know? If you're a longtime fan of shows and movies, I'd say Batman the Long Halloween. If you're a batfam enjoyer and wanna get into cannon but have no idea where to start? Honestly Batman the Animated series is where I'd say to start. For someone who loved the Lego movie maybe a run with Batman and Robin or Robin Year 1. I think the typical batman year 1 awnser is good but not as perfect as everyone says, after all his origin is probably something that people are sick of, and if you really wanna get chronological with it Batman the Knight would come first anyway. Oh and don't read the dark knight returns PLEASE
