In that moment, Batman realized Gotham is just not worth saving.
>>153833072>... Gotham wasn't worth saving, not the Gotham of today and definitely not the Gotham of years past. >But this girl...Bruce continue to protects Gotham for the cunny
>>153833072Gotham be like that.
>>153833224batmaa wee should rename gotham to cunnam
small child is dressed as ted bundy
>>153833072So you just want comics to die and pretend we don't need physical collections just more datacenters
>>153833309>$1 dealsGotham confirmed for doing better than real life US.
>>153833072>>153833309I never liked this angle. Imagine a kid dressing up as Two-Face and someone else's kid's father was killed by him. They would come to hands. A fast food joint selling what are essentially Charles Manson burgers would be seen as an edgy novelty but I would never imagine it becoming the norm. I would love if they put a bit more thought in civilians' reaction to capes other than just assuming they'd be treated like in real life where they're fictional and the mandatory storylines where the public turns on superhumans for stupid reasons.
>>153833072she's at the prime age to be saved with correction though.

>>153835197Did you know many countries have defeated hyperinflation?, they just voted left
>>153835219yeah, I'm not sure kids dressing up as well known terrorists and murderers make sense, at best you have the usually stoner student doing this for "the lulz" at the campus but that's it. also using criminal names to sell food is a good way to get your store bombed in a matter of days, be it the criminal or its victims.
>>153835219Charles Manson isn’t a good analogy, since he’s dead and a joke to everyone now.
>>153835616You still wouldn't see McDonalds selling Manson McBurgers like it's nothing.
Reminds me of a similar moment in The Batman cartoon.
>>153835636They will if there was a children cartoon named Manson kid They used to do that for Rambo and he killed dozens of middle eastern fathers
>>153835219>>153835424It was a sleazy rich people party where the theme was villains, it wasn't meant to be a good thing.
>>153833309Its funny how DC and Marvel are never consistent about fictional products like soda. I wonder how many random soda brands exist in Marbel and DC that are just variations of the words Coke, Pepsi, or dr.pepper?
>>153835759Writers can't stay coherent on what should happen to their main characters and you expect them to keep their fictional soda brands straight?
>>153835807Sounds simpler to keep track of
>>153835807Yes? Like theyd have a binder of the brands and different seperwters indicating what kind of fictional brand it is. Idk sounds like it would be fun and keep the universes a little more coherent. It does seem harder to keep main characters constant.
>>153833309>KGBLT
>>153833072You'd think all the times they keep hiring either fascists, super villains or super villain fascists as the Mayor, employing know super villains as members of the administration of the city or just the sheer amount of fuckery from other members of his social class would have tipped Bruce off
>>153836630Ivy is an ecoterrorist the most popular kind of terrorismI would vote Ivy, I would re elect Ivy 4 years later
>>153835423Replacing inflation temporarily with sky-high taxation and price fixing until supply collapses.Then you get famine. Good job, retard.
>>153836947No they just replaced inflation with free market competivity, once the evil conglomerates weren't in the government they couldn't enforce a monopoly and had to compete with chinese goods at half the price
>>153835759Happens in real life. Coke Cola, RC Cola, Pepsi, etc. >>153835424Maybe not for batman. But for the more colorful ones like Superman and outside the main area of operation it makes perfect sense. Superman and JLA are usually colorful, attractive people fighting threats the large majority of the population isn't seeing up close and personal. It'd be similar to kids who dress as cops for halloween but don't know the true hopelessness that comes with the job.
>>153833072It's a major American city.It was never worth saving.
Who gets paid for merch in the DCU? Do the actual superheroes (and supervillains) license out their likeness?
>>153836743The number of sites dedicated to supers having "wardrobe malfunctions" in fights would be off the charts and defy the threats of actual death.
>>153837044Supers can't cash in or sue unless their legal identity is known. But that also starts to get into the idea of being targets for law suits.
Is that 'Harley is ruined so here's a new Joker femme fatale' character still going? Or are they like 90% of new shit and just flopped among fans and was unceremoniously killed off a year ago or something.
>>153835423The left in the USA is center-right.
>>153837317Yet they vote notorious lesbian ecoterrorist Poison Ivy for mayor...They are very lefty if you don't consider death to america a requisite for being leftProtip we do
>>153837348Anon the us president is a pedophile who closed down cancer researches The line of villains being mayora has stopped looking fictional a while ago
>>153835759Like they forgot Soder Cola was in the setting and that it's actually funnier to see that in backgrounds than pun brand names Mad Magazine might have made 40 years ago.
>>153835424>at best you have the usually stoner student doing this for "the lulz" at the campusBoy, do I have news for you.
>>153838432
>>153838432>>153838443Weird, images aren't uploading.
>>153835424>at best you have the usually stoner student doing this for "the lulz" at the campus
>>153838796It's really annoying we still don't have the option to upload multiple files in one post.
>>153833072I dun geddit. Is the girl dressed like a villain? I just thought she was a tiny e-girl with rosy cheeks and a missing tooth to show that she's super young. What D-List supervillain is she dressed as?
>>153838842Ever since Harley Quinn exploded in popularity and separated herself from the Joker to be Ivy's lesbian girlfriend, there's been a bit of a void.So introduce Punchline, a new girl who's obsessed with Joker and serves as the henchwoman replacing Harley. No idea if she was successful or not never really followed up on it.
>>153836980>No they just replaced inflation with free market competivity, once the evil conglomerates weren't in the government they couldn't enforce a monopoly and had to compete with chinese goods at half the price>Free market competivity>Left wingDon't bother replying to me, I won't read your retarded schizo babble.
>>153833072
>>153833072it's Bruce's fault for letting Babs die on a wheelchair and just plain sucking at grooming Batgirls.
>>153839179>grooming BatgirlsSorry anon, the only grooming Bats does is of little boys.
>>153833072so do people think he's an urban legend, a monster or a guy??
>>153835701Rambo is a fictional character man
>>153839805WHOA BASED
>>153833072Punchline is an icon.
>>153841180-of sex!
>>153835616This. Something like a Columburger would probably be more comparable
>>153839651Also is Kid Manson
>>153833072>Dressing up as the Unabomber at a comic-con>Dressing up as Osama for Halloween (tbf i did see a nigga do that)>Dressing up as Pol Pot for restaurantComic book civvies are crazy
>>153844120The one Halloween that psycho cannibal got big on TV a ton of people dressed up as him.
>>153844255Oh right, well at least the ladies were wet for him back then and now. Who in the world want to fuck Penguin?
>>153844120Trying to imagine I could know who General Barbecue was, but not why he was called Barbecue, and he became a sauce mascot.
>>153837098But in the DCAU Flash worked in adds for an energy bars company
>>153844120>Dressing up as Obama at the rodeo.
>>153839607Yeah, it doesn't make sense when GCPD has that big ass search light with the Bat Symbol and he's constantly seen in both broad daylight and in public with the Justice League.I mean, sure it works for EARLY Batman but not now.
>>153843840but not Charles Manson
>>153839607At first he was an urban legend but over the years he was seen more often and that belief faded away. He's still feared and respected like he still is.
>>153844255Which one?
>>153845765Nah i think it still does, it's a symbol to show that he's currently active that night or to alert him for something. Nowadays it's probably mostly symbolic and tradition. Like yeah we have a 6'4 giant of a man dressed as a bat running around dragging people into alleyways, the fact that he's actually real and battles demigods now should make everyone think twice about tryig shit.
>>153833072What happens? Does Bruce ignore her or gives his autograph?
>>153839607He's a guy who criminals are afraid of and the good people aren't.
Non ironically i love punchline, but i guess the character died already. Joker is fat and trapped inside a tube, the character will be given the same shitty harley arc of girlboss that need no men. Worst case she never appears again.
>>153851058I like her too>but i guess the character died already.Not true. Joker was just in a weird place because of the 3 Jokers shit that happened. Fraction is slowly bringing things back.>the character will be given the same shitty harley arc of girlboss that need no men.No she won't, that defeats the whole point of why she came in the first place
>>153850942Imagine if that blonde boy walks out after the credits and then an armed thug blasts his parents
>>153851096That is what happened actually obviously he stopped it
>>153833309Why is this so dead?I honestly thought it was cover artThat's how bad the comics are that my first reaction to that page is I thought it was cover artWhere's the fun?Where's the comic?
I hope Punchline comes back soon. She needs to put Joker back on a treadmill
>>153850047Dahlmer.
>>153837432He is way less evil than whichever BRICS loser you worship
>>153835655Isn't this a nod to Batman Forever?
>>153833072Punchline was able to get away with most of her crimes through some kind of social commentary. I think the general public view her as a good person.>>153850800Yeah he gives it to her
>>153833309
>>153835219>>153835424It's Batman's fault for keeping his villains alive at all costs. Normal people witnessing that will eventually conclude the whole hero vs villain dynamic is an elaborate kayfabe operation and will treat it accordingly.
>>153835706The restaurant existed only at and during that party?
>>153852704Yes. Next question please.
>>153835424the only problem as far as the joke is concerned is really the joker, maybe ivy depending on how dark you interpret her eco terrorism. most of batman's other rogues are colorful mobsters and heist pullers that aren't a huge threat to the general public.
>>153833309>MarkGuess who's finally getting his powers!
This thread has made me wonder if any comics have addressed in universe AI yet? Our real life lame version of AI I mean, not Red Tornado or Vision style AI. Like a Joker fan prompting a video of Batman pooping on the sidewalk and then spreading it around social media like it really happened. Or someone using Superman to sell scam products on TikTok.
>>153833309Mmm... Batburger...
>>153848082Yeah but kid manson is all charles manson was but a kid, the kids are gonna love him
>>153854147Recently, Fear State.OFC Infinite Crisis + Brother Eye are the classic AI DC story, but Fear State is about content generation, etc.
>>153833072>>153833309This reminds me of Terry taking Bruce to see "Batman, the Musical".
>>153856604Which episode was that?
Reminds me of that one batman movie where harley quin was hiding out in a custom themed diner and then she raped nightwing.
>>153859439That never happened.
>>153856604SHWARBAGE
>>153859439>raped nightwingHe consented before it happened but if he didn't then it would've been rape.
>>153833072is that boy sminem asking batman for autograph?what the fuck lol
>>153860149It did. If the roles were reversed everybody would have called it rape by coercion.>>153860236Then all those female teachers fucking kids isnt rape too.
>>153860485At this point I just assume dick grayson is just to dumb to consent
>>153851696She's cute!
>>153833309what's the KG in the BLT?
>>153851121it should be canon that after every showing of mark of zorro, a young boy is orphaned
>>153861364ketchup and gruyere
>>153860485>Then all those female teachers fucking kids isnt rape too.Anon that's statutory rape.
>>153837432They hate you for telling the truth
>>153861533Tell that to the news. They can't even bring themselves to say the word when reporting those cases.
>>153838813Yep, that's the type all right.
>>153838813so is she wasian or not
>>153864232No, that's just the artists being lousy.
>>153852704What? You're confusing two different events, the Bat-Burger is a separate thing from a whole different comic.The image from the OP is from an issue where Batman went to a rich people party where they were all dressed as Batman villains, it can assumed some of them brought their kids.
>>153865739
>>153865739This comic has too much faith in people funny enough.90% of them should be Joker and 90% should be Harley.
>>153865804And yes, he did give her the autograph.
>>153865822Based Bruce, protecting the kids' smiles. He truly is a softie at heart.
>>153864232She a mutt
>>153833309>jokers crime is being funded by licensing his likeness>100% paid license otherwise he likely would have went after them
>>153866064That seems perilously traceable.
>>153837044Batman probably worked with Bruce Wayne to license everything and have all the profits going to a charity for people affected by the villians
>>153866150he seems to have known hideouts that he consistently returns to throughout several series so its probably not much of a concern
Thoughts on Ghost Maker?The chuuni in me likes him but idk. It's a bit lazy.
>>153852422I treat it as such as a civ on field in gotham. I am running the batman and joker are in on it and batfamily is actually bat mafia. also of note is bruce never funds nora fries cure nor victors. chatbots funny bout it as im a civ taking on the lame joker gangs in a time warp of things so its all there in story sorta. im better at this shit and avoiding heroes. fuck them and their over step cuz they know best. fuck this shit writing and fans who like tht shit.
>>153865822How fucked in the head are the citizens of Gotham that they dress up as psychotic murderers who have killed trillions of their fellow citizens?
>tfw gotham is one giant asylum for the insane and batman is also a patient of
>>153866972There's a moon knight joke in there but I'm too lazy to make it.
>>153848151This is so 70s
>>153833072you can't be afraid to tell a guy "I think you need to go back and redraw that"
>>153868669She should be sexier
>>153868669She looks like an ugly little goblin kid. It's fine. There's been far far worse.
>>153866924Kys slopfaggot.
Congratulations on not posting it /co/, I know that took a lot of restraint.
>>153869209...dare I ask?
>>153833072Correction
>>153869121nat a valid response and just fabricated performative outrage shows. good npc do as programmed and be angry at ai while worse things exist.
>>153869886Dare you seek the answer?https://files.catbox.moe/8xy363.jpg
>>153866934>How fucked in the head are the citizens of Gotham that they dress up as psychotic murderers who have killed trillions of their fellow citizens?(Insert trite partisan political jab here)
>>153850616>>153848151Why is batman treated as an urban legend but the crime lords aren't?I feel like people should doubt that the joker and riddler and stuff exist as well, that their underlings should think "Yeah, that's just a mascot, none-a-that stuff actually happens. The real guys up top are just real secretive."
>>153871287>Why is batman treated as an urban legend but the crime lords aren't?They are, not to put too fine a point on it, not quite as stealth-oriented as the Bat.
>>153833072Would
>>153871687Everyone "Would" Batman. It's a scientific fact.
>>153870454That's beautiful.
>>153868669Clearly there's some inbreeding in her family tree.
>>153833072what the hell happened to this character, its been like 2 years since she was in anything
>>153875388By comic standards 2 years is absolutely nothing.
>>153874683Kind of fucked up how on model it is. Like the worlds worst variant cover.
>>153875388I forget which but she's been in some comic recently.
>>153875637That's not saying much.
>>153833309why would anybody want cum in their fries
>>153855911anon, no! remember what happened last time!
>>153833309the weird thing to me is the general public of gotham knowing about bat-mite
