I'm just some random, human-type person that fell into SoCal quite a bit ago (she/her pronouns, mixed race, bisexual, etc).
While Batman: Cacophony is pretty good so far (I’ve always liked Kevin Smith’s writing) I will say that it sports the *ugliest* Bruce Wayne design I’ve ever seen. Jesus.
I don't know why your post about why Batman doesn't have to white and should possibly be Idris Elba made me thing 'cast The Losers as the Batfam' but it did.
I’ve never seen The Losers, so I can’t personally give any worthwhile commentary on that! I’ve heard good things about it, though, so I’ll take your word for it.
(I thought you meant the kids from It at first, and I was so confused lmao)
geez koichi you don’t have to remind me how fucked up my bloodline is because a gay vampire stole my great great grandfather’s body and had an illegitimate son with it
Finally started watching Vento Aureo (the latest JJBA season), and y'all don’t even know how happy I got when Koichi showed up. I love him, he’s my favorite.
remembering that kakashi was fuckign 26 years old when he got assigned team seven is blowing my mind right now. I was naruto’s age when I got sucked into this shit and now I’m kakashi’s and like,,,I get it. my man got assigned the generation’s WORST of the WORST gremlin children and he did the best he fuckin’ could. he nearly dies on every mission because sasuke refuses to go to anger management and naruto is so dumb he probably can’t even read. he’s got like 7 summons that are dogs and he could be spending all his time with them but is he/?? no. he’s got a sharingan making him so Perpetually Exhausted it’s a straight up medical condition and he has to spend all his free time restraining the two finalists of Konoha’s Next Top Orphan from getting people killed instead of like….teaching them. 26 years old and all that unbelievable bullshit. god. and!! then when he finally gets to take a fucking nap they make him hokage I honestly can’t believe he did it. wasn’t even 30 fucking years old. I can’t believe he didn’t leave the damn village himself.
I like to think that Beast Boy in the new Titans TV show is pulling a Mystique and constantly focusing on making himself look more human. He’s actually full on green with cat-like eyes and pointy ears, he just actively chooses not to be except during exceptionally emotional moments.
Why else would he have those big headphones blasting music into his ears at full volume all the time. Yeah yeah “That’s just what teenagers do, Pop”, but haven’t you ever wondered *why*? I can’t even imagine the sheer concentration he’d be pouring into this. Dude’s a badass.
Alternatively, yet also of the same vein, all his senses are heightened to the extreme so having noise-cancelling headphones are the only real way he can ever relax.
I used to wonder why Dick never took the Wayne family name. At first I thought, well duh, he’s just honoring his parents by remaining a Grayson.
Then my higher brain functions kicked into high gear and I realized that Dick Wayne sounds a lot like Dick Wang, and I think Dick came to the logical conclusion that having not one but two slang terms for penis in his name was a bit overkill.
But then I started thinking, hey that’s a Chinese name, too. What does it mean? Turns out it means “King” which is badass. That got me thinking about how cool it would be if a they cast someone Chinese as Dick Grayson down the line, then I started thinking, “In all honesty, why is Bruce Wayne always portrayed as a white guy anyway?” which got me figuring out how I would argue with someone who says he *has* to be because that’s the culture. What if they made Black Panther a white guy, they would ask. To which I would reply, “Black Panther has a specific origin *in* black culture within Africa. Being black is part of his character. Bruce Wayne’s ethnicity doesnt mean jack crap to his character. You only need three things to make Bruce Wayne/Batman: bats, dead parents, and being richer than God. By saying him being white is necessary to his character, you’re essentially saying that only white kids can lose their parents to gun violence and only white people can be rich and from a respected old family.”
Having felt satisfied with my retort to this make believe person about this make believe conversation, I started thinking about who I’d want to play Bruce Wayne. Then “Wait, this whole thought train started with a penis joke” crossed my mind, and I felt obligated to make this post.
Still thinking about it!
(My immediate decision was IDRIS ELBA, like yeah if I could I would have him play every part of every movie known to man, but you gotta admit despite my clear bias to that beautiful man he does have the right smolder. And the right chin. Chins are important to Batman. Then I looked it up, and I’m not the only one who thought this because there is a LOT of fanart of Idris Elba Batman. So much you would think it’s actually happened)
remember that time batman kneeled down in front of a completely naked superman, took his face in his hands, and asked him out for dinner? because i do.
and also that time superman started crying because batman didn’t want to talk to him?
batman thinks about superman while making out with hot chicks
superman made batman smile for a selfie and is still alive
and also
mhmmmmm.
Bruce, you’re a goddamn billionaire. Clark works at a newspaper.
