Comfy Fleece Sweater: Apr 2, 2013; You see, but you do not observe.

In Arkham origins, the Riddler (E.Nigma) has hidden 123 shitloads of green square "Extortion files" through the city, in the dumbest most impossible places that require the dumbest gadgets (like a Glue Gun or Electricity Gloves) to acquire

If Batman does not find 100% of these files, they shall be uploaded somewhere and published and RUIN people's lives because of extortion and blackmail

My question is: Why would Batman care that these people would get their secrets exposed they're probably also criminals, he shouldn't give a poo poo that Bill Tedster is banging his secretary and his wife will find out

If anything he'd be interested in all that information, why does he give a gently caress about protecting petty interests, he's busy stopping whole Hotels from being blown up and scores of people being murdered by the Joker

This isn't from Batman but rather from The Authority which is another great comic book, they're traveling through alternate universes and stumble upon one where Batman from the 60's is real and highly effective (for like 2 pages)

i think batman was a pretty poorly thought out hero beset by unresolved cognitive dissonances and has very little merit in the broad scheme of comics and in the larger picture of media/art

i would totally dig an effort post from someone who likes batman about how im wrong

imo brave and the bold is easily the best batman series ever because it makes fun of his stupid ideologies and cognitive dissonances, in a cheery way thats fun rather than "LET ME WRITE YOU AN ESSAY CRITIQUING THIS CHARACTER"

the whole franchise got blown up way too fast and they had to cram lovely writers in along with the good ones and they made a canon that is more stupid and illogical than the average comic

nothing wrong with that because its just lovely kids media but you cant go and claim batman is high art or even worthwhile as literature when compared to similar episodic action/hero/anti-hero stories

me too
