Saw some ppl on tiktok saying they never touch the batman comics bc hes hit his kids and its like. Look i hate when writers do it too but im begging you guys theres thousands of comics out there i assure u theres something good in there where he doesnt do that 😭 go read long halloween and dark victory or something
Like yeah if every batman comic was like ASBAR id get it but they rly arent. Go read batman and robin (2011) or something.
I agree and sort of disagree at the same time (let me try to explain how I feel as best as I can because I’m so tired rn so please bare in mind lol) because there are some comics for example, that have Bruce hurt one of his kids in 1 comic, but in the next following comics Bruce’s actions have consequences and you see the kid having to deal with what Bruce did to them. So in the end Bruce may have hurt at least one of his kid’s in one comic, but you get to see the results of his shittyness carried over in multiple comics. So technically there are a lot more comics that have Bruce be an asshole when he shouldn’t be written like this, period. But it’s a part of his character now. This is what we have to deal with sadly.
And when Bruce hurts his kids, you see the kid deal with the effects in THEIR comic. His abuse spreads over in not just Bruce’s own solos, but in so many.
You’re still right that we can read more comics to avoid Bruce’s assholeness, but there’s also a lot of Bruce’s shittyness that are in other comics cuz he appears in other comics as well. (He’s everywhere omg)
But don’t get me wrong, I like Bruce when he acts the way he should, and I try avoid comics with his shitty characterization but end up seeing asshole Bruce anyway, since he’s DC’s most popular character.
I think people on tiktok are lowkey right, I think it’s a 50/50 kind of situation. 🤷♀️
