if tim isn’t gonna be robin, scott synder had the right idea for treating him(red robin) as the nightwing for dick batman. that would be a good modern role, in a not so bloated batfamily, i think the dick batman era could’ve gone far longer if dc had the GUTS. HAD THE STRENGTH OF CHARACTER, THE WILLPOWER.

anyway if tim’s solo identities could get some decent fucking names, and an editorial who knew what the fuck they were doing

gonna be so real world’s greatest detective is such a cool title, i don’t care i’m batman glazing today sometimes it’s okay to agree with the popular opinion in society

world’s greatest detective legit perks my ears up like a rabbit when i hear that in batman media, maybe it’s because I love batman stories where the mystery solving analytic side of bruce is put to focus, like denny o neil’s 70s work or dini’s tec run to name specific specific stuff among the literal thousands of issues.

I don’t know, “World’s Greatest Detective,” it sounds right to me, sounds like Bruce’s most interesting skills being highlighted. It’s understanding people, it’s finding motives and clues, going down long trails with potentially nothing to show and everything to gain, Bruce being a detective is a part of his character i eat up like candy every time it’s written well. I think this is why I still adore the long halloween despite it’s confusing at times plot, which is another it’s okay to agree with popular opinion point.

I think in terms of the other descriptors, like caped crusader and dark knight, they don’t have the same ring of interest, it’s the most pointless nerd of nerd pedantic shit i know but also you’re still reading and this is comic tumblr so bite me and also Batman is cool.

Moral of the story is that there are many fun batman detective stories and they deserve to be read, and that bruce wayne is such a super super fun character as the protagonist of said stories. life sucks but reading comics online at night with the soft glow of your browser illuminating the blanket on you and drink in your hand is free

late night early morning friday got me fucked up speaking comic takes on this hellsite, if i get any flack im canonizing steph-deathstroke and jason-helena-joker polycule. no one would survive what i’d do once i break down the doors of dc HQ. to punish my fellow fans for hubris against me. i’ll kill us all i don’t care, let’s make homophobic diana x midwestern conservative NTT kid flash wally canon. i’d rehire didio and have him write steph and cass as his one ongoing. don’t push me.
