I will always appreciate what a miracle of animation technology and budget and puberty that the Yugioh anime went from this

to this

hell yeah, let’s celebrate that 20th anniversary.

Hi, Clair. I’d like to come in and talk with you. Would that be all right?

This is the Batman we need to see more often. The one who remembers what it was like to be a scared child, one who knows how to handle situations delicately.

One of the reason why I love batman so much. He is portrayed as a very careful and guarded man. But he is probably the most human out of anyone. It’s why he is the knight that gotham deserves. 

Re: that last panel - 

Batman, when he’s written correctly, is an extremely compassionate person. 

I always feel the need to reblog this because it’s definitely something I feel was lost in the Nolan films.

The thing about Bruce is he believes he is not a good man, but he is.

More than just being instinctively compassionate, the Batman in the photoset, at least, knows (and was probably trained in, i.e. actively sought out the knowledge) how to handle a person who’s been traumatised and their sense of self threatened without further trampling all over their boundaries. he asks for permission to talk to her, he warns her he’s coming closer instead of just imposing his presence on her. That is not something you know instinctively even if you know what it’s like to be scared or went through trauma yourself, it takes awareness because it means not acting as one usually would.

This Batman is compassionate, self-aware and sensitive, so I’m not even surprised the machismo fest that was Nolan’s version did away with all that.

It is always so IMPORTANT to me when I see Batman interact with kids; he knows what it is like to be a kid who is upset, angry, sad, afraid, and hurt.

being a female means avoiding eye contact with men to not draw attention to yourself as a potential target

Being a male mean avoiding eye contact with women because they might think we are ugly

hmm yes being a target of abuse is equivalent to thinking you’re ugly

this is literally it. male idea of oppression is women not being sexually available to them when they want them to be. that’s why whiny internet men cry so much about the friend zone. this is literally it for them.

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” - Margaret Atwood

awfully relevant.
