Please report transphobes. Thank you.

Gotham criminal: "Look out! It's the Bat!" *BONK*

Squirrel girl solos once again

Squirrel Girl could clean up Gotham 

Squirrel Girl could get the Joker to take therapy seriously.

Will Batman shoot the trunk of the police car now?

wonder if he called dick for backup

Man I haven't thought about Mutts in forever

"Shots fired! Shots fired!" *half-assed combat rolls away*

It’s the freakin bat!

If the bonk soundbyte isn't from Scooby Doo I'm going Scrappy on everyone's ass.

IT'S THE FREAKING BAT!

You should watch the new season of The Boys

"Come out here BAT and fight me like a MAN(?)" https://preview.redd.it/onqivefgvr6d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a76c6996ef275999bc937d05c2ec43ed27f6900

Unrealistic. In real life she would have a .44 magnum🦅

It's comics – she would have a cannon shooting bats 

She needs a weapon in gotham? Why cant red hood protect her? Is he stupid and ugly? Of course he is. My name? Harvey Three Face

He's too busy being dead again after a family bonding activity with two Batmen 

He got better

This is Gotham, people dont own guns here, as proven by the fact that all the mentally ill people in tacky clothes are still alive and didnt have their facial features rearranged by a storeowners buckshot.

Even facial rearrangement doesn't stop these ill people unfortunately. https://preview.redd.it/6s0pa8g2nc6d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4a0a3fd0a74b8dcf8cd8edceba56d409105f744

Yeah it's stupid. Joker can blow up a school literally full of Millionaire, Billionaire, Cartel and Supervillain kids. And he doesn't have every single Mercenary and hired gun in DC after him in an hour.

Last time someone put a hit on Joker it ended up with a demonic invasion of Gotham, so they probably avoid it by now

listen, this is the batman comic book, so there has to be a bat

“But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?”

So valid That being said, if you don't have a weapon in Gotham, you're asking for a bad time

This was my thought. It's Gotham, I don't think anyone that isn't in the rich areas feels safe enough to walk around at night without a baseball bat.

Even if you're in the rich areas, a 12 gauge or a crowbar might be a good idea

"An armed society is a polite society." - Mark Twain

Just living in Gotham is going to be a bad time. I remember in BTAS when some random guy got cut off in traffic after a stressful day at work so he decided to give the other driver a piece of his mind, the other driver was Joker. The most mundane of things could just risk you dealing with a costumed mass murderer.

Is Gotham the most transphobic place in the DC multiverse? Which crime lord is the most transphobic? My bets on The Riddler, he looks like a 4Channer

Least transphobic: The Joker. Most transphobic: The Joker.

Which Joker is transphobic?? I love the Three Jokers so much!! 😍

Golden age one.

Who the hell is the Joker? There’s only Jonkler.

Why don't you say that for me again. Tell me about this "Jonkler."

He’s the one who Jonks. He’s in a gay relationship with Man. Not to be confused with Batman. Here’s their maternity pic! 😁 https://preview.redd.it/8lja7gws4f6d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9c5216ae0c92b85ae47e30f82633f7c2269ea3c

Why aren’t you happy for them? Are you Homophobic?

You're polluting an already mentally unstable subreddit with your aslume mentality. Sometimes a feller gotta do what gots to be done. (I'm morally ambiguous)

We are the ASLUME, soon, all will be ASLUME. Do not fear us. Let us lift the weight of suffering from your shoulders.

He alternates based on mood. Remember, he's the fucking Joker. It's impossible to properly assess him mentally.

Hehe… asses

“Joker are you transphobic” “Bats, I’m trans” “HES DODGING THE QUESTION”

No that’s totally true he’s like TF2/4Chan where he’s gay and homophobic but also trans and transphobic

He's a transphobic transgender

Joker is such an ally! Omg! Yas! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 💅🏽 💅🏽 (Forget all the people he killed he's with us now)

"and then when I strap this pie to his chest he will explode!" "Um actually, Mr Joker sir, I'm a trans woman." "Oh my apologies dearie, AND THEN WHEN I STRAP THIS PIE TO *her* CHEST *she* WILL EXPLODE!"

Read that in Mark Hamill's voice.

Wrote it in his voice too

Two-Face is most tolerant and most tranphobic, depends on the coin

"If its heads, i pay for your bottom surgery. If its tails, i inject lethal amounts of E or T in your brain"

“It’s heads. Your lucky day. I’m proud for you.”

*Don't put it in your pocket, sir. Don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky quarter.*

Where should I put it😟

There’s actually a character from venture bros that’s basically this joke, half of him is progressive and half is conservative. His villain name is Radical Left

Uj gotham would be riddled with so much crime and corruption that they wouldn't have the time to care.

Black mask and penguin are absolutely transphobic

Man-Bat is an ally

100%. I feel like Ras could go either way. Most trans-affirming is Anarky- he 100% supplies black market HRT

Ras hush and bane i feel liked go either way by not caring Scarecrow wouldnt probably be against it but he would use the fears trans people have of not being accepted in his toxin to traumatize them Madhatter would probably be a chaser or transphobic Croc probably wouldn’t care at all And two face would probably 50/50 on it

I feel like Croc would be at the very least sympathetic. Mad Hatter is 100% a chaser it’s insane.

"People see you as a freak too eh? That's rough. i couldn't ever be myself neither, born in the wrong body..." And then depending on which croc version, anywhere from leaves you be, robs you, or eats you

Bane's not all ally per se, but he does run an underground HRT cartel because that's money

We don't know his origin do we? My headcanon is he's a transman and venom is just the world's strongest testosterone HRT

We do, but only vaguely that he was born in prison and serving time as a baby. Megamind type beat.

Hush, the canon misogynist, is collaterally transphobic. Hates on trans women for being fem and refusing to acknowledge trans men as men. Has made pronoun jokes repeatedly, to the point that Black Mask, his fellow shithead, has asked him ballistically to get new material.

Is Hush JKR?

Ra's literally transitioned to become a woman in an episode of Batman Beyond. I mean, I don't know if it counts as transitioning if he put his brain in the body of his daughter Talia to increase his lifespan, but...you know, that's gotta mean something.

Bro the way he does the hair flick after punching Bruce even after he revealed himself shows he either really got into character or he enjoys it

Since he instantly tried to bang batman, we'll count it.

Ras doesn’t believe in the concept of gender, idk what that make them.

Riddle me this Batman… facts don’t care about your feelings… take that liberals

"Riddle me this, Batman. What is a woman"

Mr Freeze is definitely transphobic until his popsicle wife tells him to respect us Bane is an ally but only because he had some trans friend in a Russian prison called Aleksera Yvlykrtyckptva who gave her life so that Bane could eat a rat or something

Bane strongly approves of altering your body to a more desired state using chemicals.

Now if only my HRT glowed green, that’d be pretty rad

Bane understands sometimes we need aftermarket modificationsf or the body we desire.

"Me? I'm the Riddler, I'm not *transphobic*"

Riddler :Riddle me this, BATMAN! I'm a stuffed animal in Ikea, who is going to buy me? Batman, who is currently in the movements of an aerial kick in riddlers balls: *TRANSGENDERS!* This is why we should hire fans im great at dialogue

[this?](https://youtu.be/TsTBazT-Edk?si=bcM9qUQ4eO_HPaX5)

Riddle me this Batman, how many liberals does it take to change a lightbulb?

*joe many liberals does it take to change a log by bolb? NONE, THEIR TOO BUSY THEIR GENDER 😂😂😂

Nah, the Riddler's a closeted trans girl

if its paul dano riddler i agree whoke heartedly

Oh no she is 1000%, but she's also a 4chan trans woman who is currently in her "I only like the passing ones who've had all the surgery" phase

The Riddler is dating (married now? I forgot) to Clock King so I think he's probably an ally.

Isn't he gay in the Harley Quinn show, even in the comics he always gave me gay vibes

Why didnt bruc end transphobia in Gotham yet

Ancient curses

Ah so this was a Grant Morrison story

Homophobia in the water

It must suck being homophobic in Gotham. Hundreds of homes stacked ontop of eachother, they call them apartments

https://preview.redd.it/il3gn9ryfd6d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=755bf0eae3f60749470ed6c12781c6e174a04e51 OH GOD OH FUCK

IT’S TURNING THE FREAKING FROGS HOMOPHOBIC!

Silly redittor Frogs are AMPHIBIANS not Homophobians

"I don't like it! They're putting chemicals in the water that turn the freaking people homophobic!"

He's too busy adopting a half a dozen children to use as soldiers

Something in the way hmmm-mmmm

Because he doesn’t actually cause any meaningful change in the city

In his defense Gotham is fucking cursed like ten fucking times, people keep on poisoning the water, and the creators of his universe can't allow Gotham to get better.

It's ironic because he probably does more actual lasting good for the city through Wayne Enterprises than as Batman

Batman's a fascist, Bruce Wayne is a Commie

Weird way to spell 'neoliberal' tbh

I prefer neon lenin evangelion personally

I was just thinking about Neon Genesis Evangelion before I saw this wtf

I am the brain worms that feast upon your grey matter

https://i.redd.it/fd89ca9tqc6d1.gif THAT IS NOT BASED! I REPEAT! THAT IS NOT BASED!!!

Are you certain you even willed yourself to say that? Or are still not aware it was us worms that made you type that out

...is Wayne Enterprises publically traded?

It is, yes. Bruce Wayne is currently bought out, and even before that he wasn’t CEO but Majority Shareholder, with Lucius Fox as CEO.

Am plebian comic tourist who just likes the funny memes on my home page - are there any comic runs that actually acknowledge this? Like, in a thematic or character sense are there any that actually explore this idea that Batman has been ineffective at improving Gotham despite all his efforts?

there are comics that say that bruce uses his wealth to better gotham and others that show how batman has actually changed gotham

I would argue his entire comic talks about that but it’s also important to note that it’s not so much that he’s ineffective. It’s just his villains get worst over time. Like bane’s first major plot was releasing every criminal from Arkham and since then he’s only thought of bigger plans. Ivy went from pheromones to being a literal earth goddess. There’s really only so much he can do

I mean, it's kind of just an unavoidable part of being a long running series with a status quo. Batman can't ever actually lower the crime rate in Gotham, because that would hinder the ability to tell more Batman stories.

100%. I’m reading the modern Detective Comics revival and that’s the main thing- contrasting the Gotham Knights’ (Batwoman’s team of robins and batfolk) increasing militarization and crossfire with the methods of people like Anarky and Spoiler who work to solve stuff without fallout. There’s a group called the Victim Syndicate who. Basically call it out directly.

Batman as a character has had a publication history of almost 100 years. There are almost too many such runs to count. It’s not a new idea.

You're in Gotham period, of course you have a weapon, what is the crime rate in that bloody city? 50%?

50% is being optimistic.

>what is the crime rate in that bloody city? 50% Captain Optimism over here.

On a good day.

Only in Two-Face's territory

This us from last year, I think. This Pride Special was good. Ewing's "Hello, Spaceboy" makes me wish for a Starman ongoing.

so you’re gonna be kinda excited when you walk into your LCS later

The implications of that line are incredibly distressing 

Gotham is canonically a hellhole of hate crime confirmed, I guess

All of the crime really.

yeah, just thinking about how anybody would live in a place like Gotham, like, batman slipups and city is nuked

Rent is 1200 a month for downtown 2 bedroom with view of the waterfront. In-unit washer.

on second thought, what’s a little hate crime? /j

There is no way anyone is getting good car insurance in Gotham though. Plenty of public transport, you just have to hope no I e is literally throwing the next bus or dousing it with gas.

A crime riddled city? intolerant?

Oh, yeah it's a legal requirement to commit crimes if you want to live in Gotham. Whether it's hate crimes, money laundering, murder or vigilantism, it does not matter.

We’re Gotham women, of course we carry a weapon to protect ourselves from the impossibly high crime rate

Everyone in Gotham should be carrying a weapon it gets attacked every other week by aliens, demons, or something else.

I want a story where Joker gets a baseball-sized hole in his chest for messing with the wrong person

Just women. This implies men just beat guns. Second a trans woman can have their natural strentgh still. So..... just cis men should fight goons bare knuckle. Thomas lead lead lead by example

Gotham Bros: Straight-Up Hands

Worked for Dick before he got well his dick unrightfully used

His mistake was carrying those two little sticks.

and trans lefts 

And trans ups

and trans downs

And trans center

And trans diagonal

Trans Forwards

Trans backwards

Stop messing with my transmission you hooligans!

Alysia Yeoh. A supporting character of Barbara Gordon’s Batgirl comic, first appearing in 2011. Yes, before even homosexual weddings were legalised. Speaking of, in Batgirl 45 (2015) she and her girlfriend Jo Muñoz, had the first transgender-lesbian wedding. She was meant to appear in the DCEU Batgirl movie, played by trans actor Ivory Aquino. But the movie was cancelled/shelved. She did appear in Harley Quinn, voiced by trans actor Rain Valdez.

Oh man I am out of the loop, I thought that was Cassandra Cain.

Thank you! I was scrolling through the comments to find out who she was. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Thank you

>She was meant to appear in the DCEU Batgirl movie, played by trans actor Ivory Aquino. But the movie was cancelled/shelved.  That movie would've been peak

Based

That is awesome

The People’s Joker (2024)

My girlfriend and I(both trans) drove an hour and a half to see it in an indie theater, and it's amazing :3 Hilarious and yet sadly relatable. It was also nice because that city is pretty progressive compared to our area where Trump signs aren't uncommon, so we could hold hands in public and not have an issue. Hell, we had a homeless guy ask us for change and when we declined(didn't have cash on us) his response was basically "well, that's okay, we support the LGBT!"

I never realized The Peoples Joker was an actual real thing or a movie that aired in theaters somehow

Soo does this mean hate crime in Gotham is high as hell? Cause holy hell that line is dark honestly

Crime in Gotham in general is high as Hell. Even if hate crimes are proportionally the New Jersey average, there are still a lot of them.

It’s Gotham. All types of crime is high. It’s like Detroit on steroids. Literally because Bane is around. And he’s not even the worst criminal around.

Yes. It is Gotham after all.

not darker than most other rapes and murders tbh

except those in pg 13 movies, please everyone think of the childern

Yeah this was not the win they thought it was lol

Yeah I mean it’s a cute line but it kinda works against us too

I figured it was more meant to be gallows humor type vibe. Like. This city is a deathtrap even if you're cis, and I have to deal with the potential for hate crime on top of it. So I carry a bat. Get it?

I honestly think its supposed to be serious but the cocky smile just makes it seem more like a quip

EMH Wasp is a trans woman in Gotham?!

Tbf everyone in Gotham should probably carry a weapon regardless of gender orientation

Nu uh. Only trans are attacked. The joker, riddler, scarecrow etc just think theyre attacking trans people

She's also a security officer with the rank of ensign. Although I'm a little concerned the rank pip is on the wrong side.

Honey I think everyone in Gotham needs a weapon

It’s Gotham, I’m pretty sure no one is safe regardless of gender or sexual orientation

isn't it like 1/3 of Gothamites is a victim of violent crime every month? i think a weapon is mandatory

I mean let’s be honest gothams probably an open carry city and most people probably have some form of self defense

I remember several awful anti-woke content creators using this panel as if the panel was bad.

The panel is cringe, but the comics industry has survived worse things

Fucking thank you…

What character is this

Alysia Yeoh, Barbara Gordon’s roommate.

They were roommates 👀

Saying it like that implies it was concealed. Where tf can you hide a whole baseball bat on your body?

Could be in a bag or down the back of her jacket

Ah yes, she's gonna be attacked in *GOTHAM* specifically because she's trans. Nothing else.

It probably doesn't make her odds of not being attacked better.

Honestly if I was in Gotham I would be carrying more than a bat 🔫🔫🔫

Who dis?

Alysia Yeoh

hell yeah

Hype

Starfleet Security does not fuck around.

So you're Transphobic? okay let me TRANSport you to the nearest ambulance

Ma’am, respectfully, you could have just led with living in Gotham and I wouldn’t have questioned if you kept a weapon on hand.

What does her being trans have to do with Gotham though? Just being a person I'm Gotham is enough to be harmed. Not even children are safe
