maybe? I probably won’t have time until next week, but don’t worry about spoilers on my account
Nah, I will probably not care in about a day, anyway.
I’ll go back to being momentarily really into Batman.
ALTHOUGH THIS MORNING I HAD A BATMAN THING THAT MADE ME SO MAD.
I sat down to start reading “Under The Red Hood” and it starts out all “Gotham is a hard city that breeds hard people with hard lives” blah blah and then Batman is punching a dude or whatever. And I just stop reading and go “OH MY GOD BATMAN IS SO DUMB.”
Because normally I can suspend my disbelief, like, Gotham is a shithole full of crime so Batman needs to go FIGHT that crime and probably things would suck more if there was no Batman. BUT LIKE, BRUCE WAYNE IS A BILLIONAIRE PLAYBOY PHILANTHROPIST, RIGHT? But frigging *Batman* goes around fighting bad dudes and breaking their legs and causing everyone grievous injury all the freaking time, but not actually *murdering* anyone, causing all these crime syndicate minions’ lives to be shittier and shittier and shittier, and never giving them a chance to do something like, say, get a normal job and revitalize the city’s economy. No, instead they’re stuck in a neverending cycle of shitass health care fuckery and manipulation, thus exponentially increasing the crime rate and the inability of normal people to rely on civil structure. IF BATMAN WOULD FUCKING STOP IT AND DEDICATE HIS TIME TO BEING BRUCE WAYNE AND ACTUALLY IMPROVING THE LIFE OF EVERYONE IN HIS OWN GODDAMN CITY HE WOULD FIGHT INFINITELY MORE CRIME.
So I think, until such time as I can get over this INESCAPABLE FUTILITY, I’m not gonna continue my Batman kick.
