Oh god really?!  All right here we go.

• Why I like them

Cuz it’s Batman, duh!

No but seriously, growing up he was my favorite DC hero because he was real.  I mean, he was smart, he didn’t have powers, and he’d get angry and make mistakes too (I still remember the animated series episode with Two Face and how he blames himself, or the episode where he’s on trial, accused of creating these super villains, and it’s like… shit wow).  And he cared, a lot, despite what it looked like at times.  I think that’s why I really liked Batman Beyond, or characters like Nightwing, because on the one hand you knew Batman cared but on the other hand… what kind of life was he getting them into?  Like I remember Terry meeting Barbara Gordon in Batman Beyond and she was like, “Don’t get mixed in on this its terrible, he makes it sound great but it’s not,” and even by that point Bruce Wayne was like, “Terry no, you don’t want this.”  Or there’s the episode of the animated series where Batman finds the man who killed Robin’s parents (screw you movie for making it Two Face no), and he DOESN’T tell him, because he’s worried about him.  And besides being concerned about losing Robin it’s like, he really doesn’t want these kids to turn out like him.

I also like how, you know, he just… can’t get close to people.  Like he tries and it never works out.  But that’s like, super hero realistic to me and, in a way, human realistic.  He’s been through so much and is so fucked up, these characters try and just… no.  Even in Justice League with other heroes who have their own hidden secrets, Batman is still like, “… no.”  

• Why I don’t

Some representations of him are just… not good.  Like Batman and Robin, just… no.  

• Favorite episode (scene if movie)

Like my favorite Batman episode is “Almost Got Em’,” because it shows the villains on their day off just talking about their Batman stories, and I thought that was really, really cool.  I liked that it took a second to show the villains, not doing anything bad, just… being there.  Like, what do super villains do on their day off?  Play poker.

• Favorite season/movie

The animated series was my first really good representation of Batman.  I mean I remember seeing the first two movies, but the animated series is what sticks out the most to me.  Even with the Dark Knight Trilogy, I can watch the animated series all these years later and smile.

• Favorite line

I can’t think of a line but I can think of a scene.  In the first movie, there’s a guy trying to fight Batman and he’s doing all of these moves, looking like he’s going to do something, and Batman just punches him in the face.  The end.  Wait!  For a line, it would be, “I threw a rock at him,” in “Almost Got Em’.”  Because Batman was disguised as Killer Croc, so technically it was Batman saying it.

• Favorite outfit

Urm… bat suit?

• OTP

Just one?  Ha no.  Robin.  Superman.  Catwoman.  Wonder Woman. The Flash.  Batman is my DC Tony Stark I can pair him with anyone.

• Brotp

Him and Alfred.

• Head Canon

I’m stealing my partner’s headcanon for the next Man of Steel movie, since it’s going to have Batman in it.  With Metropolis destroyed, mysterious billionaire Bruce Wayne comes to help with the repairs.  Also helping with the repairs is Lex Luthor, and Bruce is helping him, sort of suspicious about him of course, but as Bruce Wayne he can look into what happened in Metropolis.  Him and Superman butt heads, of course, though they probably meet as Clark and Bruce first, because Clark is covering the story with Lois on how generous Mr. Wayne is for coming to help their city.

• Unpopular opinion

Is there really one for Batman?  There’s so many takes on him…

• A wish

That whenever the Justice League movie happens, that it’s good.  Also, that Man of Steel 2 keeps all of the wonderful tension between Batman and Superman.

• An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

That Batman trusts Superman right off the bat in the new movie, because that is so not his style.  Also, that someday Batman settles down and gets married, just… no.  

• 5 words to best describe them

Mysterious.  Cunning.  Smart.  Flawed.  Dark.  

• My nickname for them

Uh… I don’t really have one  ^^
