SERIOUSLY THOUGH SHE WAS MY FAVORITE BATMAN VILLAIN
Her physical condition didnât allow her to age
No one took her seriously as an actress
And even when she was trying to get into a happy romantic relationship (albeit with another villain) he still couldnât take her seriously as a consenting, sexually active and romantically interested adult
Thatâs a lot of blows to someoneâs psycheÂ
and Babydoll is both a sympathetic villain and a formidable one
I remember this episode fucked me up a a kid.Â
And man, do I wish we could see this Batman again: the Batman that consoles his villains, because the majority (if not all) of them are mentally ill people. And Batman knows this and wants them healthy again, not punished and GOD definitely not dead.
Baby Doll is so underrated as a Batman villainÂ
but her episode was perfectÂ
Batman: The Animated Series
The story of one fucked up, traumatized little boy, doing his best to help other fucked up traumatized people.
The Batman that cares about the inmates is my favorite. He doesnât put up with their shit, but he does try to reach out here and there and heâs as human as he can be to them.
When Harley was re-institutionalized, he got her that dress she wanted.
In the comics based on B:tAS, there was a time during Christmas that there was snow and it was Mr. Freezeâs fault, and he was making it snow because Christmas was his anniversary with Nora and she LOVED it when it snowed on Christmas, so Batman let him finish mourning before calmly taking him back to Arkham.
He never, ever gives up on Harvey possibly recovering.
Sure, Batman is going to throw punches and do what it takes to take these guys down when theyâre hurting or threatening people. And heâs not going be a complete bleeding heart; he has to protect the innocent. Heâs going to take them down and take them back to Arkham, but it doesnât mean heâs incapable of being a bit human to the ones who deserve it.
Batman needs become human again
Because it needs to be here:
Remember that time a young girl with near god-like psychic powers threatened to destroy reality and the only one that could stop her was Batman because he had a previous encounter with her and was tasked with killing her to restore reality.
But instead, Batman sat with her on a swing and kept her company as the girlâs psychic powers slowly killed her.
No?
Fuck you people making me emotional
The. Batman.
This is MY Batman, not the murderous fascist theyâve made him into.
no offense but Iâve been learning how to have fun in dumb circumstances
I was showering during the storm tonight and the light started flickering violently so I peeked out from the curtain and looked at my cat sitting on the counter and said to her âmrs obama itâs been an honorâ and then the power went out
Man found the stoplight cameras were activated during yellow lights and decided to cut the wires of it.
Florida Man: Chaotic evil. New York Man: Chaotic good.
Holy shit. Nah dude look up the entire story, itâs INSANE.
The dude got arrested once before this for using a painterâs extension rod to point the stoplight cameras into the sky instead of cutting the wires. He didnât cut the wires until AFTER he got out after being arrested the first timeâwhich he did after posting facebook videos that prove that the stoplights are intentionally rigged to trick drivers into citationsâthe yellow lights at intersections with cameras only last THREE SECONDS, as opposed to the five seconds they last at other stoplights without cameras in the same county.
When he cut the camera cords, he reported his deeds to the news -himself,- and then politicians pressured the local police force into arresting him. The local police and sheriff deputies actually SUPPORT him for his actions because the lights have been killing innocent people! During his most recent arrest, one of the Sheriffâs Deputies actually -offered to bail him out-.
When he got home again after these incidents, there was a surveillance camera planted at his house BY THE GOVERNMENT to watch him! His reaction to being surveilled? He painted over the camera in Americaâs flat out fucking ballsiest âfuck youâ to the gubmint Iâve ever heard of.
And it gets EVEN CRAZIER. After painting over the camera, suddenly this guyâhis name is Stephen Ruth by the wayâstarted GETTING ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE. He reports that a car intentionally tried to hit him in a head-on collision, and after talking about the car to his neighbors, they confirmed that the car in question (Or at least, one that was visibly identical, its occupants included) had been staking out his house! Somebody was legitimately trying to MURDER HIM over his discovery and his actions!
As a final insult to injury, Ruth pointed out that the VAST majority of the cameras were found SPECIFICALLY in lower-to-middle-class neighborhoods. As well, the victims of these rigged stoplights tried to go to the local news station to talk about the deaths of their family members that occurred from the rigging. Aaaand⌠The local station, âNews12âł, never aired their interviews.
Remember how I said that, after cutting the cables and calling the local news station, Ruth was arrested because of pressure from politicians? Get this: News12 is actually owned by CableVision, who PROVIDES INTERNET SERVICE TO THE CAMERAS.Â
Whereas mister Ruth was only trying to help people and save lives, heâs been caught up in a full-blown fucking government conspiracy thatâs out for his blood. This guy isnât Robin Hood, he makes Robin Hood look like a -CHUMP-.
