So In Other Words You Become The Alfred Version Of Joker So Your Friend Can Be Batman. Honestly, True

You can tell that Brennan fucking loves the absurdity of the normal world and then crazy shit going in in the background, just the over the topness of teenagers fighting gods for homework and multiple New Yorkers getting into a pigeon wedding seems to tickle Brennan in the same way that the idea of fighting anything with a duck taped weapons attached to a car and ramming into anything that looks spoopy. And it’s fucking amazing.

big fan of urban fantasy and similar genres because theres nothing funnier to me than a setting where youve got people fighting with enchanted blades and bows and hopping around doing magic tricks but you can also just hit a demon with your car if you feel like it

YES! Health relationships.

Haven’t collabed with @renconner in a long while for a mini comic (minus our big one, Instinct). We were talking about one of Stan’s lowest moments involving being outside with that damn sign, so we decided to make a comic with Stan remembering it. I’ve also kinda of assumed Filbrick would lie to Ford about what’s going on with Stan (Stan probably did too to some extent).

“Don’t kink shame me!!”

me: okay, so, are we fighting or are we flirting? because i'm getting mixed signals here

vampire: my fangs are literally inches from your throat right now

me: that doesn't answer my question

I think it be funny if task force x and Lex are the ones who either discover/make the difference kryptonites and almost all of them have the wrong effect then they intended making things crazy for clark

One of the things i liked in MAWS, was how much Kryptonite seem dangerous for Kryptonians, in other series and movies it would just make them feel to the ground like they are out of energy or feel weak, but this version make it look like they are really in pain, and i really liked the green veins and bits of it growing on their body. Makes me wonder how would other types of Kryptonite affect them visually, like red, gold, blue or even pink Kryptonite.

I would LOVE to see other colors of Kryptonite in MAWS. It's hard to keep track of which colors have what effects on the character. It seems to change from iteration to iteration The ones I remember are red alters your personality. Silver makes you drunk/stoned. Was it blue or gold that removes powers? Also pink can make you horny, or gay, or make you fall in love, or change your sex? I'm not sure.

Here's some ideas:

1.) One where Clark finds a type of Kryptonite that temporarily takes his powers away and at first he loves it. It's a little embarrassing trying to hide the blue crystals coming out of his skin. (Maybe they pop up close to his eye and he wear sunglasses to cover them. or long sleeves over crystal veins on his arms) But for the first time, he really is a normal man and it's all on his terms because he took the kryptonite knowing how long the effects would last. But of course there's an emergency and he needs his powers ASAP to save the day but it's still a while before they can come back.

2.) Clark gets high off of some kryptonite and Lois and Jimmy have to stay by him so he doesn't wander off.

3.) Jimmy finds some of that "Makes you fall in love/makes you horny" Kryptonite and can't help his curiosity but to try it with Kara with overwhelming results. (Or Lois does that with Clark.)

4.) Something scary. The gang finds themselves in a post apocalyptic alternate dimension that was ravaged by a destruction thirsty Superman who had his personality altered into that of a monster because of some red kryptonite he got infected with. He is pretty much a horror movie monster in this one, with red crystal veins all over his body, and they need to find a way back to their home dimension with our Clark now developing a HUGE phobia of getting infected with personality altering Kryptonite.

5.) Combine them. They're playing around with various different Kryptonites. Jimmy is trapped in his apartment with a Kara who just wants to cuddle. Clark on a Kryptonite high wanders off into an alternate dimension where he's a horrible monster and once he sobers up, he's infected with Blue Kryptonite so he's on the run from his evil AU self with no powers.

I like the idea that Billy and Marvel are completely separate beings but still act the same so almost every interaction is just

Billy (Golf announcer voice): And there goes Two face, or now both one face as they take the lead on the three legged race. Unfortunate that a good man like Harvey Dent became such a violent criminal after his accident.

Marvel (Also in Golf announcer voice): It comes from his unassisted D.I.D., which he most likely hid as it developed as D.I.D. is seen in quite a negative within modern society, leaving many ostracized and falling through the cracks of medical assistance, instead of being helped to not cure it but to assist in living with it.

Billy: Well said Marvel, now it looks like they’re trying to take a leap and-

Both half’s of Two Face fall knocking down most of the others like dominos

Billy and Marvel: (Trying their hardest to not laugh and failing miserably.

I just remembered an idea I had where a bunch of DC characters who are kinda like 2 people in 1 body get temporarily separated, without any of the consequences that would normally come with that. They are then put into sort of game show to see how well they work together with their ‘other half’, and it is broadcasted across the world.

People like Etigran, Two Face, Creeper and more all get seperated. Some challenges they face include the newly wed game, three legged races, and various other cooperative games.

There’s tons of arguments, fighting, and a general lack of beating any challenges.

Billy and Captain Marvel work together so beautifully that whoever started the whole thing decided they didn’t need to keep playing so they spend rest of the game narrating together like those sports announcers. Billy’s a radio host and has great chemistry with Marvel so they’re extremely entertaining.

Occasionally they will take a few minutes to roast the contestants kind of like those old muppet men. It’s great and the viewers love it so much they forget their shock over the whole ‘Captain Marvel is using a young boy as his host/anchor to this realm’ thing.

Multiple contestants try to kill their other half. When they fail Billy and Marvel say “Womp womp” in sync.

Instead of hitting people with cupids arrow, he shoots the with a Gatling gun.

dipper is so real i too can't flirt but can make up an insult on the spot that will stick with you forever and cause neverending damage. if provoked enough

Holy shit, ghangst

So we have Ghast angst now, apparently

I want a revolution from this society that in the current moment has basic kindness as news

shit’s bad!!!!! here are some not terrible headlines to take the edge off a little bit

I know these are probably the same for easier animation but I would like to just say may 9th is my birthday so I think it’s fun.

And even bro forgot Jimmy

Clark' screensaver season 1 x season 2.

This, this is the Batman that we don’t get to see as much anymore. The hero that can show that someone broke doesn’t have to break others to fix themselves. Someone who doesn’t stop criminals by beating them into submission but by helping them so they can heal. He is the hero that can show that bad people could just be hurt and just need help. I’ve seen people say that marvel is better because they deal with real problems while dc is more fantastical, but the thing I always see when looking at both is that marvel is how people are, struggling to be kind always trying, even when they fight on ideals they are kind. But dc is what we wish things were, an ideal world where there are hundreds of people all trying to see people and make things better and showing that everyone can change for the better. We lost both of those things but thankfully they are starting to come back , a little slow for Batman but I can see it, and I can’t wait for the old hero’s to be good again.

I am. So fucking tired of Batman being portrayed as a bad parent and a toxic person. And it’s so goddamn widespread. Fuck, it might be as bad as the whole “Superman being a kindhearted Boy Scout is boring” take.

I get it, the man’s not exactly stable, he watched his parents get murdered in front of him and spent years of his life training to fight crime dressed like a giant scary bat, of course he’s not perfect.

But to say that Bruce Wayne isn’t caring, isn’t empathetic, to call him abusive…it just misses the point of who the character is to me.

Why do you think he fights crime? Yes, part of it is because he’s bitter and sad because his parents were cruelly ripped from him as a child, and he’s lashing out against the corruption of his city. It’s arguably the focus of his earlier years. But he learns to become more than that. He learns to bring hope, a chance to be better.

Harleen Quinzel is the Joker’s right hand lady, but she’s also a victim of an abusive relationship and a woman with a surprisingly strong moral compass and a love for animals, and wants to get better. That’s why we see time and time again that he has a noticeable soft spot for her, because he knows that she’s a good person at her core.

Harvey Dent is a man who will decide someone’s fate on a coin toss(and a pretty inaccurate depiction of DID), but he’s also Bruce’s close friend who clearly needs help learning to live with his condition, rather than try to get rid of it, and someone who he still goes out of his way to visit, even after everything, because he recognizes he’s not just a criminal with a weird gimmick, he’s a man who is struggling with a condition that he’s mishandled his whole life.

Victor Fries is a cold, emotionless man who will callously discard allies and blame them for being careless, but he’s also a man who’s either lashing out because he had the love of his life taken from him, or just desperate to make sure she isn’t taken from him, and is willing to do anything just to guarantee her survival. Of course Batman would understand, his whole life was defined by having people he loved taken away from him.

Even the Joker, arguably one of the most morally bankrupt characters in all of fiction, is someone that Batman has offered a chance to. After the guy shoots the daughter of his friend, a girl he cared for like she was his own kid, and paralyzes her from the waist down, he tells the Joker that he doesn’t want to hurt him. He wants to get him help. He looks at this monster who has taken countless lives and says “You don’t have to be alone.”

For fuck’s sake, he sat with Joe Chill in his last moments so that he wouldn’t be alone. Joe Chill, the man who murdered his parents, who took so much from him, the person responsible for all of the misery and suffering he’s gone through. And he sits with the man to comfort him while dies. Do you know how much emotional intelligence and maturity that must take? To comfort someone who arguably ruined your life?

And you’re gonna tell me the man who did that would abuse his kids?

That he’d hold up the young man whose death was his greatest failure, the boy he grieved, and say this?

That he’d look his goddamn son in the eyes and say this to him?

Why the FUCK do you think he took in Dick Grayson in the first place? It wasn’t because he saw the kid and thought “Ah. A potential soldier.”, it was because he saw a boy experiencing the same heartbreaking loss he had so many years ago, and wanted to make sure he didn’t end up as bitter and miserable as he was.

Why do you think he smiled when Tim Drake presented him a broken watch for Father’s Day? Because he was just happy to see the boy alive and safe.

DAMIAN LITERALLY POINTED AT A COW AND SAID “I’m keeping her. She’s Bat-Cow.” AND BRUCE JUST WENT WITH IT. DIDN’T EVEN NEED TO ARGUE WHY BRUCE SHOULD LET HIM KEEP HER. HE SAID “this cow is my pet now” AND BRUCE SAID “aight, bet”.

The thing about Batman is that he wants to make sure nobody else ends up feeling the way he does. That’s not just about stopping a mugger so a boy’s parents aren’t gunned down. It’s about giving his loved ones the support and care that he couldn’t have, because it was taken from him. It’s about comforting someone who just went through a traumatic experience and letting them know that they’re going to be okay. It’s about going to someone locked away in a cell who thinks that they’re a lost cause and a burden to society and telling them that he wants to help them get better. It’s about EMPATHY and COMPASSION.

That’s what makes him a HERO. He’s meant to inspire us, to show us that we can have that same empathy for others around us, that we can turn our suffering into hope for a better future.

I just wish more people at DC would start recognizing that. But I might as well follow that example myself. Maybe through this struggle of having to see this hero mistreat the people around him and act like a grade-A jackass, people will start to recognize that missing compassion, and slowly but surely, it might come back. After all, what is this post, if not trying to bring attention to the matter in the hopes of fixing it?
