    Gotham is super polluted right? So it would actually make sense if he was a bit insane from it like everyone else there.

      I’ve said this elsewhere but adult comics fans are very fragile about it. My main problem with Batman is he’s so clearly insane, but DC for some reason makes Superman go insane while portraying Batman as this moral compass of the entire universe, where it should be the opposite. Superman is literally the super man, an immensely powerful visitor from outer world who nevertheless is kind and considerate (hear that, Snyder? fuck you and your gray ass world). a shining example of what humanity can be. Batman is someone who was fucked up by a terrible trauma and decided to dress up like a bat, make bat shaped toys and punch small time baddies saying shit like “I am the night” or whatever. it’s literally psychotic.
