At what point do we finally, collectively admit that all this romance BS does literally nothing to actually improve any story? Nobody can actually seem to tell you how or why it adds anything, rather it always seems to be purely at the detriment of the characters involved by virtue of being pure melodrama that's functionally just shitty hypebeast writing, and it's so bad that nobody will actually admit to being the target audience of shipfaggotry, so much as "ironically" supporting whatever pairing is the current controversy.
>>
>>150170589
The issue is not their respective ages, the issue is various pre-existing relationships, Barbara is Dick's Ex, Bruce is her father's best friend, and depending on how you look at it, she's either a co-worker or an apprentice, depending on one's view of Sidekicks, leaving aside if you consider her one or not (She is, shut the fuck up). They could be the same fucking age and this relationship would be a terrible goddamned idea.

To be fair, they're not entirely wrong.
Gen Z's parents and other adult figures in their lives basically failed them in every way possible and it shows. Everyone's heard the whole statistic about "age of virginity lost" going up but it's way fucking crazier than that. For Millennials, the big missed milestone was "moving out". For zoomers, we're seeing "age of first part-time job", " age of acquisition of driver's license", "age of first full-time job" and pretty much every other milestone that would separate a child from an adult going up at an alarming rate following consistent trends that have been going on for over a decade. We've also seen a decline in participation in extra-curriculars.
Media basically ignored it because it was disproportionately effecting males during the "girlboss" era but as time went on the girls started catching up to the guys in these failures.
The end result is that Gen Z is literally developmentally stunted because they never actually hit the proper markers that would translate to "adult" in their own heads

I've always hated this part of the argument for one simple reason: does anyone honestly, seriously, ever believe that Jim would get mad that his daughter is dating the richest man in the city? Really? Bruce could walk up to him and go "by the way, I've been banging your daughter regularly" and his reaction would be "fucking sweet, I get to retire to private tropical island."
>>
>>150176603
Timm thinks Dick is a lame as sidekick and Babs said what they had was never real love.
Honestly 70 year old Dick coming back for crusty Babs would just seem sad. Let the guy have a family. Babs is dying alone with her bald buck

1) puritans and virtue signallers are insecure
2) many people, including women, want to control women's sexuality
3) society infantilizes women. age gap relationships only get retarded karens bitching when it's an older man with a younger woman, never the other way around
4) the same women who love to point out age gaps will absolutely drop their standards for a rich guy, actor or athlete that is far older than the guy they have a problem with

example: i fucked an 18 year old when i was 38. she led me on and told me the age difference was the "only" problem she had with it. later she made TWO tiktoks glazing skeet ulrich who is in his mid 50s, talking about getting in his DMs and calling him "mr. sexy". women absolutely do not give a shit about any standards if they are attracted to a guy, standards are only for men they will reject

I like them, and I don't think Bruce and Barbara getting together is that bad (especially since they have a habit of quietly de-aging Bruce until he's basically just a couple of years older than them, anyways.) though, if I'm being honest Batman doesn't seem like he works too well with a partner, at least a long term one. It's one thing when he's sort of with Talia or Selena, but they don't live together and there's circumstances keeping them apart even though they'd like to be together, but that doesn't work super well with someone like Barbara who for all intents and purposes would see him on a very regular basis both in and out of costume. There's nothing that really keeps them apart unless you want Bruce to play the "I love you too much to let you risk your life, and you're the woman so deal with it." card, which no one likes since they want her as Batgirl.

It's also fun to have it be more of an unrequited schoolgirl crush with her as a hot piece of jailbait that gets jealous at the other women who get to occasionally get a piece of Bruce.

you're right. she hated that i actually cared about her. women hate that shit.
>>
>>150170643
This is also the real issue. It needs to be in a universe where Dick isn't into Barbara. B.T. tried to do it with Killing Joke by just not having Dick be in that universe, but I think the only way it would work would be if you had Dick be younger than her like in the original dynamic or if you tried to play it like she always had a crush on him but he was too busy with Starfire or Donna Troy or something. It sounds like a lot, but honestly the only way to sell it without upsetting a bunch of people would be to establish Dick as a chad who gets a prime QT3.14 and wasn't ever interested in her. You would still upset the Dick/Barbara shippers, but they're already used to dealing with him being with other girls and single so it won't be that much of a controversy.
>>
>>150176374
It is true no matter how hard you cry about it.
>>
>>150170685
It re-ran a lot, but honestly I almost never actually saw it on TV. My Grandma ordered me a giant VHS Collector's Edition of the series and I used to get a new one monthly until I eventually had the entire series. They were all grouped together by theme, too, so I didn't really catch on to the feelings about quality differences between Batman: The Animated Series, The Adventures of Batman & Robin, and The New Batman Adventures until years later on the internet because they were all mixed together when I first watched it.

You've just watched crappy stuff, then. It improves a lot of media. I will say a lot of modern American media seems to suffer from it, but I think that's because Hollywood would rather die than every portray a loving and wholesome heterosexual relationship where the man isn't portrayed negatively to some degree.

I could list different anime examples, but I'll withhold that for now because people can get sidetracked by that on this board. Just look at old screwball comedies like It Happened One Night, Ball of Fire, or the Major and the Minor. It's a majority of the draw and plot in all three and it leads to a lot of fun, wholesomeness, and relatable subject matter. Ditto for It's A Wonderful Life and Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, where it's not necessarily the main point of the plot but elevates it immensely, specifically the scenes in It's A Wonderful Life where George's Wife volunteers their Honeymoon budget to save his business and the scene where she puts together a Honeymoon at Home for them when he's walking back and beating himself up for not being able to take her on one and trapping her in "this small town." and in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington where Saunders icy heart finally melts and she loses her cynicism upon seeing Jefferson so genuinely and passionately fight for what's right in the face of corruption. To lose the romance from either of these stories would severely impact them.

And then for animated examples, lets just take a look at Sleeping Beauty and Swan Princess. Seeing both couples come together and the princess get saved by her true love is far more satisfying than any other way they could have played it.
>>
>>150171238
The power dynamics thing is dumb. It's natural and women like it. The only time they have a problem with it is when it doesn't work out and they want to throw a fit, otherwise they would prefer to have it be that way. No woman fantasizes about getting with her equal, she wants to either be swept off her feet by a larger than life man that will take care of her problems or she wants to be really willful and make that man think she's quite a handful and earn his respect by being feisty. That's what she actually means by "equal." When men try to be what they think equal means she complains that he "wants a Mommy."

Oh nonsense. Women used to literally sit inside helping their Mothers with housework until a man almost a decade older than them caught sight of them one day and haggled with their Father's for permission to take them out, then wifed them up before they were even 19 and they managed to run an entire household with like 10 kids without ever having a job or their own apartment. You don't magically turn into a brain stunted juvenile because you didn't get to spend 3 years working at McDonald's and then coming home to a pigsty to do rips from the bong with the boys and see if you can get a bottle and maybe get some chicks over for beer pong, dude.

What are you even on about? What he said is objectively correct. My Silent Gen Grandparents got together when they were like 14 and 23, my Gen X Aunt and Uncle got together when they were 14 and 19, and most of my friends parents have a 7 year age gap between them. Heck, my wife is six and a half years younger than me.

One time my Dad almost had sex with my older brothers ex girlfriend and didn't realize until he came up in conversation.

Not quite the same, but one time I actually went out with a girl from work then found out my Dad was dating her Mom and neither of the had introduced us to their new BF/GF yet. They didn't work out, but that would've been a fun sitcom scenario. Another time I slept with a girl and then found out my Dad was banging her older sister.

Stuff happens, is what I'm saying.

>>150176603
I think they thought it would mess with things too much. Barbara is sort of O.K. with it, bu still willing to arrest Terry and Bruce if she has too because she still has bad blood with him. Having her get with Dick would muddle that too much because fans would call B.S. on them both being that mad at Bruce. Plus, they'd be too much of a happy family. With Tim and Dick just not mentioned and Barbara having grown up grouchy it makes more sense that Bruce is alone and as grumpy as he is. If Dick and Babs got together everyone would be asking why they're not just still a Batfam and why they don't have a kid that they're all training in to be the next generation.

Also Bruce Timm took the liberal pill and was obsessed with affirmative action.

You have to be able to also scold her and just straight up tell her she's wrong for it to work. Like, don't be a cocky asshat, but eventually she'll say something like: "Yeah, I should do this, but I don't wanna because *some childish reason that everyone uses to not do the same thing*" then you've gotta be the wet blanket and tell her no and sternly tell her she should do it. Almost 100% of the time she'll go: "Ok..." and make a big show of how she's not happy about it and you're totally a jerk for being so unreasonable and making her do it, but then she'll attack you like a wild animal and want you to claim her because of how turned on it made her. You've gotta walk the talk.
