The more I become entrenched in Batman and the community, the more I’m realizing that a good portion of the fandom is just like me: a bunch of losers who don’t care about mean angry Bruce, but instead are obsessed with him as Dadman with his trail of orphans following behind him. We ship him platonically SO HARD with other JLA members doing friend stuff and we literally lose our shit over the slightest hint of Daddybats.
This is the batman fandom, we cry over a loser dad with his kids and co-workers and every now and again we remember he is a dark crimefighter.
