>>101479657Once again, I'll post what I figured out to be the problem with King's Batman.
The man doesn't understand superheroes are escapist power fantasies first and foremost. Not people you pity. They can be other things, while also being escapist power fantasies, but they should never lose that.
There are stories where Batman is drugged, beaten up, manipulated, betrayed, hurt, hallucinating, broken, killed.
And not once did I pity him. King's Batman, I pity all the time.
But what could one expect from a wimp like King?
Look, I don't have anything against single mothers and I think they can be enough for a kid.
But damn it, his clearly didn't do her job. From the way he has Batman be a wimpy loser, to Catwoman somehow being a physical match for him in combat and carrying his ass around many times, to fucking wishing single mothers a happy father's day on twitter, because apparently, men aren't entitled to solely having anything, not even father's day.
Of course Bane would break his Batman.
It's easy.
His Batman is as fucking spineless as King is.
