Re: Irritating misinterpretations of characters in fandom and/or adaptations

[blunderbuss]

Exactly. Now, Bruce is messed-up, sure, but who the fuck wouldn't be after seeing their parents DIE in front of them as a kid?

And on that note, when people write Batman as a heartless asshole who spurns the people who care about him and has contempt for everyone. Bruce can be a difficult person to love, no doubt, but he DOES love his family very much and he admires his colleges. For fuck's sake, he becomes Batman BECAUSE he cares enough about the same city that took his parents.

And on THAT note (oh man who knew I had so many Batman feels) the idea that Batman will die alone because he can never ever love someone and that he drove everyone away. Fuck that noise. I don't understand having Bruce as an old bitter asshole just for maximum angst. I imagine Bruce as the best grandpa ever.

To be fair, it's not strange to find someone a bit odd for vowing to devote their life to fighting crime as an 8-year-old, and then eventually do that by dressing as a bat. That's kinda messed up.

The Batman dying alone thing is absurd, though. Have they not realized that Bats has the biggest family/most connections of any of the supers? 5+ Robins, graduating to titles like Red Robin and Nightwing but staying connected to him; Huntress; Batgirl, several of those too, one who becomes Oracle: Bruce has got friends and family falling outta his ass.

What I find funny about that 2nd point is that Batman over the years had to gradually learn to play well with others. It took No Man's Land for him to finally start realizing he needed help managing Gotham, and by the time Hush happened he had fully learned that lesson.
