Nothing harms me. But I know pain. I know pain. Sometimes I share it. With someone like you.
I've been reading some Batman comics and found some lulz. And, okay, it might not be that lol-inducing but, it was for me so whatever. :P
Exhibit A: Nudity, what else did you expect?
The comic artists and writers apparently thought it was important to let us know that Batman/Bruce Wayne sleeps in the nude. Because, y'know, we were all wondering hell, I know I was. But NOW YOU KNOW FOR SURE. Just in case you were wondering. Thanks, guys. (And, um, need it be said that this was written/drawn/edited/etc in its entirety by men/males/penis-bearers? N/N? Good. XD)
At least we now know that Batman is missing his bits and instead has a gaping hole (he's an arrancar!) where the twig and berries should be. I knew the codpiece was a little... on the large side. He's obviously compensating! And here's me not mentioning things like the Batmobile in regards to compensation.... That's rough Bats. Though it also explains where a lot of the hostility and aggression comes from as he clearly has no other way to work it off.
And then there was Exhibit B: The Emo of the Bat
Night after night he reopens the same bloody wound. Does he crave the pain, the sense of violation?
He's rich, handsome, powerful. Why can't he be grateful for what he has?
Why, why, and why.
All at once, with lacerating clarity, the answer is upon him: ... that's how Batman wants it.
The world is full of evil. It needs a Batman--to help the weak, to mete out justice.
Justice. Yes. We get what we deserve.
If there were justice in this world for Bruce, Batman would set him free. He'd make friends, fall in love, live his life--as normal people do.
There'd be no more dreams. No more wracking guilt when he tries to do the right thing--and fails.
Surely he deserves no less...
But justice is blind.
Blind as a bat.

Yeah, so he's got a case of severe Emo-itis and he's a masochist. Who would have thought? I mean, I always assumed... but. This was kind of amusing in it's blatantness. lulz.
As much as I love Batman, and all ribbing aside, I really do love the character, I've never read the comics before. I never knew where to jump in and I have this crazy need to know the backstory and all that before jumping into something. (It's why a couple weeks before the Trojan of 08' happened, I spent several weeks watching all 7 seasons of Scrubs back to back. Yeah, that was a journey.) So being that my knowledge of the lore came mainly from watching Batman: The Animated Series (♥) as a kid and watching the movies (I think I've watched them all, but I may have missed a few of the older ones. I haven't checked.)
I never really realized how tortured a soul he really was. (lol) I mean, I always assumed as much but I sometimes thought my idea of Batman was exaggerated by my inner angstwhore. I'm coming to find out the truth and lol, it's kind of funny. Go fig. Because seriously, if it was anyone else the above quote would be, like, severely melodramatic.
Anyway, I thought Blind Justice was pretty good. All the self-hate and guild, as much as I empathize and try want to hug him and make it all go away... the angst, my god, is so good at times. It's like crack and I, dear friends? I needs it. Badly.
See, the thing is that he's such a screw-up at times (but not when he's in the suit, oh no), he sucks at relationships, pushes all the good people out of his life at every opportunity and yeah, I totally identify with that.
