Hey. Hey. Hey you realise "ignoring canon" in comic books usually comes after having read the canon in question and deciding not to take it as foundational to your understanding of a character because of misogyny, racism, etc? You realise that you have to read the canon to understand what can be reasonably dismissed and what can't? You aren't just going in with Everything That Sounds Wrong Isn't Canon, right? Right???
I was asked on Twitter whether I agree with the notion of Bruce Wayne's parenting being stigmatized in the way the parenting of single mothers is stigmatized in society, and I thought it'd be productive to post this here too. ( therefore please excuse the twitter-styled paragraphs ) Bruce Wayneβs parenting is not demonized in the same way single mothersβ parenting is, but it is demonized through a gendered, sanist lens that assumes traumatized men (especially fathers) are incapable of nurturing, emotional connection, or ethical care.
