I love that the Bruce Timm Batman is, Canonically, a huge comicbook nerd who is consciously modeling himself after his childhood comicbook/radio serial hero, the Grey Ghost. It’s such a wonderful, humanizing detail which adds depth and nuance to His Whole Deal, like: the tragedy of losing his parents is absolutely what motivates him, but it’s not the ONLY thing, and it’s these other influences -from Alfred’s constant Sahara-dry Pisstaking to the idealism of his parents to even just something as “frivolous” as a child’s favorite story- which shape HOW Bruce does WHAT he’s decided to do, and which keep him from becoming just another violent asshole.

Minor English Interlude

I feel like there’s not enough discussion of “et” u_u

Like: officially “ate” is the past-tense of “eat”, but then there’s this other form, “et”, that’s existed beside “ate” for literally hundreds of years, and is CLEARLY not just an “alternate pronunciation” of “ate” regardless of how many times ppl say it is, and it simply CANT be a coincidence that it just so happens to fall into a particular, oh hell idk what even to call it, pronunciation progression(???) for English tensing? Like Like: “eat, ate, et” SOUNDS correct, doesn’t it? It just SOUNDS like how that word SHOULD conjugate, or whatever, right??

What’s going on with et? Is all I’m saying u_u u_u u_u
