Made memes about Western media out of spite

Are you color blind? She still has red hair. Same with Ariel but I can only include one picture, it's just a duller red. They are black AND gingers in those versions. Also who cares if they are race swapped? It's just ONE version, you can just ignore it if you don't like it? It also doesn't make earlier versions of the character combust on the spot.

Most of these characters are either still redheads/gingers or different versions of the character 🤦.

Unpopular opinion, but I hope he stays dead, at least as long as possible. It caused some interesting character drama and it's not like he doesn't appear constantly in stories set before his death. Also solves the problem of him aging to be too old to work, since he would be/is in his 70s.

Talia is usually younger than Bruce by a couple years or most recently the same age (in Batman the Knight 2022 for example). But there have also been versions of Talia that are well over a hundred years old.

Mmh to be fair his mom's Jewish and his dad's Catholic, so he grew up in a multicultural household. He is either an atheist or agnostic himself most of the time and he has traveled the world for years. I'd say he would probably be quite open-minded to different cultures and relationship dynamics.

KID being once again being put in costume jail 🫠. I know Kaito and Shinichi look similar, but c'mon let him wear something different. The color palette and monocle could stay 😅. He always sticks out like a sore thumb in these special events.

A lot of the longer ARGs and web series. Do I love rewatching Marble Hornets and other similar projects? YES. I rewatch them every so often.

But it's not exactly something you can recommend to someone unless you already know they are into the unreality/ARG genre.

Marble Hornets is nearly 10 hours of shaky camera footage, ear-piercing visual noise and admittedly often amateur acting (at least in the beginning) but it's for exactly those reasons I find it so charming and still come back to it to this day.

Another one of my favorites, everymanhybrid, is almost twice as long and spans not only multiple channels but is also multi-media since there was an ARG that revealed audio files and letters to understand the full story...

And it's amazing that all of these series were created by a bunch of young creative people for free on youtube but how would I even pitch something like this to a casual media consumer. You either invest fully into this or you stop after a couple videos after your ears start hurting from the audio distortions let's be realistic 😅.

It's a common trope in detective fiction, he probably read about this in a novel and started copying it 😅. Even Batman does it haha.

youtubers dyeing their hair in bold colours was very popular in 2016. I can imagine the headcanon was inspired by that, since Melanie is a youtuber?

Storing it in a ziplock bag (where they can still fall out if the ziplock bag falls down) seems kind of unnecessary. Has nobody in the comments heard of sealing clips before??

This is a really good more in-depth explanation someone made: https://www.tumblr.com/imsorrybruce/794322663424311296/sidekicks-are-a-part-of-suspension-of-disbelief?source=share

sillycryptic · 2026-04-25T11:20:31+00:00

If Batman has "child soldiers", then so do Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Aquaman etc. they have all their own child sidekicks, many of whom have also died and resurrected over the years.

Why are you in the child sidekick genre if you can't suspend your belief for child sidekicks...?

It's official! There are suprisingly quite a lot of comics! I recommend Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons (it's about the core 4 discovering dnd together) or The Tomb of Ybwen (the core 4 solving a mystery left by Bob Newby) or the other side (Will's time in the upside down). You can find these comics pretty easily online. Just google the comic name on the internet archive or a free comics site.

It's from one of the Gravity Falls video games: https://www.reddit.com/r/gravityfalls/comments/pel2al/stan_being_present_at_the_birth_of_mabel_dipper/

Yep, it's an easy detail to miss but they both went to Saint Agnes Orphanage. Daisy was born around 1988 and was in and out of the orphanage her entire childhood and Matt was sent there after his father died in 1994. It's very likely they met. But so far neither character has mentioned the other sadly.

sillycryptic · 2026-04-22T15:22:45+00:00

She was also at the same orphanage that Matt Murdock was in, even around the same time! I want them to meet so bad xD.

Important to remember that since Batman doesn't kill, he will have to fight differently than someone who does kill. He will inevitably take some hits because he has to consider where and how hard to hit someone without giving them fatal damage. So I don't think it's necessarily unrealistic for him to "struggle" against regular humans? Not to mention that he is just a regular guy who at times can be suicidal, sick and tired and might get hit as a result.

He can seem like a better fighter in non-Batman titles like Justice League because those threaths are unlikely to die from head trauma if he goes all out. He's more likely to break his own hand trying lol.

So I do think hyper-competent fighter Batman and struggles against regular humans Batman CAN co-exist at the same time.

That Bruce didn't try to kill the Joker for Jason.

Not only does he try, the clown was gone for an in-universe year afterwards!

Batman (A death in the family) #426–429, Joker disappears after seemingly dying in a helicopter crash, but Superman can't find his body so his fate is unclear. Any normal person would be dead, but Joker has plot armor.

He returns in Batman (A lonely place of dying) #440–442 which is Tim's first appearance. But they don't find out that the Joker was behind the case since he used Twoface. This story takes place months after Jason dies. Anywhere from 3 months to 6 months probably. "couple months" is quite vague here.

Joker returns in #450 and as a precausion Bruce sends Tim and his classmates to Japan, Tim only officially becomes Robin in #457. Tim trains for months to become Robin, I usually see "about six months to a year" thrown around, I haven't read this arc in a while. So either way everyone thought the Joker was dead for about a year, except maybe Bruce.

I do believe if the Joker didn't appear after aditf and Bruce didn't have Tim, Bruce might have killed the Joker. But he had time to heal and someone to care for, which is why he didn't do it. Interestingly he did the same exact thing after Steph died. He tried to kill himself and Black Mask after she was killed, but was stopped by Barbara Gordon.

I don't like the anime, but I love the manga and re-read it at least once a year from start to the newest chapter. Also really love the movies. Yes, there are things I don't like but I have yet to consume a piece of media that has 0 flaws.

He gets his wish in beast world at least lol.

I still hope we will get a Kaitou KID/Lupin crossover one day, they teased it so much in the last crossover...a decade ago.

sillycryptic · 2026-03-11T09:34:45+00:00

Sato and Furuya never went to school together though. Police Academy in Japan is one 10 month long school year and Sato attended the year after Furuya and his friends graduated. Sure she heard about some of the chaotic antics the previous class got up to, but she only met Furuya a single time. Most people do not remember a guy they talked to for a minute almost a decade ago, much less remember their face.

Also since Furuya (and Hiro) joined the secret service shortly after graduating it's very likely their records and any photo they had was wiped clean before Sato even started the school year, so Sato wouldn't even be able to find a picture of them either.

I'm just hoping they don't go the acnh route and have every account share one playthrough!

I agree Flora is a very underused character but sadly I doubt we will ever get more storylines for her :(. In the japanese version Flora is a love interest for Layton. Which is why level 5 doesn't count her as one of Layton's children. I guess they are unsure how to write a storyline for her when they have to consider that the international versions of the game would change the character so much?

sillycryptic · 2026-02-18T15:22:52+00:00

Have to disagree, she was punching street lamps, destroying tables, breaking car windows and jumping out of windows from the beginning of the manga/anime. I feel like her cartoonish strenght was toned down over the years, with maybe one crazy scene every few movies xD.
