“One cannot level one's moral lance at every evil in the universe. There are just too many of them. But you can do something and the difference between doing nothing and doing something is everything.” --Father Daniel Berrigan

ok I endured it. now what!!!!!!!!!

Bruce Wayne doesn’t swear. The man raises so many kids and is trying to set some sort of example, and still lives with his very polite butler guardian who would most certainly scold him every time he swore in front of the children. He also doesn’t use substitutes cause that’s too goofy, every time Bruce wants to swear he instead just stares intensely into the middle distance

The kids on the other hand make up for this and then some.

#i adore the implication the reason bruce is so silent and brooding and intimidating partly is because he’s holding back swears #it really shaped his batman persona becuase surely he has a lot to say about what hes seeing but hes in fact too civil to do so #it ends up as silent but effective intimidation

Alternative:

When Dick was Robin, he used so many ridiculous substitutes that they crept into Bruce's vocabulary. This was just barely tolerable when Batman had a tiny Robin beside him to be delighted by, and add to, any silly thing Batman said. As Bruce Wayne, he had to stop entirely, so the connection between the identities wasn't obvious.

Now, Dick is 25. He still uses some ridiculous language, but he rarely patrols with Batman anymore. Batman has NO EXCUSE for saying, "Holy guacamole." It would be embarrassing. To protect his pride, he must refrain from swearing, lest some childish phrase slip out.

Batman is glaring intensely into the middle distance because he just thought, "You bet your sweet patootie, big mama," and it is vital that no one ever knows this.

Is this it? Is this the Missing Link? Have we achieved a Unified Theory of Batman that accurately accounts for all observations, both the corny ‘66 TV show and the subsequent stony live-action and animated brooding?

It was swearing, the whole time.....? Amazing.

fearsome fangs friday!!!!!!!!!! bite everyone

The second rule of cable management is that all true art is provocative. If zero people want to kill you over it, it's not good art.

we're theorizing

while they share a similar base flavor, dick tastes more umami while pussy tastes more acidic, though recent menstruation conveys an overwhelming metallic flavor that some diners object to (though i am not one of them). recommended wine pairings are

Hey man, I saw your living weapon staring at its reflection. You might wanna get that looked at

Yeah, your emotionless tool of destruction is beginning to develop a sense of self. Probably nothing to worry ‘bout though
