Batman #136

[superfangirl1]

Batman: I WAS
IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE.
ANOTHER GOTHAM.
THERE WAS A SELINA THERE.

I COULON'T HELP
BUT LOVE HER TOO.

THAT'S
THE KIND OF HOLD YOU HAVE
ON ME.

SHE
BETRAYED ME.



Selina Kyle: MY GOD.
…..YOUR
LIFE, BRUCE.

I'M ME. AND I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CREATED SOME DAMN ROBOT TO KILL YOURSELF.


WOW. AND YOU THINK I KEEP SECRETS FROM YOU?

Then Selena jump away to leave Bruce to himself.

While i get what Bruce is feeling, his feelings ARE valid, this was all, in the end, HIS issue. HIS decisions all the way down. he didn't trust himself enough he created failsafe instead of trusting in the people around him INCLUDING Selina.... so yeah he's allowed to be hurt... but he also made his bed.

[blues32]

Wow, I can't believe she never told him. Even without her knowing about Failsafe, surely she'd know Bruce would feel guilty about Oswald's death.

[mastermahan]

Penguin's argument was basically "framing him for murder was just a prank, he's Batman, he'll be fine."

And to be fair to Catwoman, Bruce would have figured it have figured it out if he wasn't busy with a murderbot. She still had way too much sympathy for Oswald after he sat on his ass and watched as two of his kids murdered their 18 half-siblings.

[morallyambiguousscience]

The backup story in this really makes it clear that Zur En Ah has completely lost it, and had for some time.

It makes it a lot more sense now why Failsafe would be so vicious and cruel to everyone around batman despite nominally its only job being to stop a Batman who had lost control.

I'm confused: What is T "remiss" about not asking him about.

[superfangirl1]

Bruce mechanical hand. He gotten his hand chopped off in the alternate reality earth.

[xammax]

Man everyone is losing limbs lately.

[scorntx]

It's getting out of hand.

[cainofdreaming]

I wonder if Joker will welcome him to the club. And then instantly bite his tongue.

[blues32]

I thought something was off, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

...you posted this and not the pages where Bruce comes home to the entire rest of the Bat-family making pancakes and being cute?

...why?

[superfangirl1]

I was tempted to post it. It sure got a flaming endearment to the family gathering at the end.

[sharpasabowlingball]

"Failsafe. The robot I created. It came after me. After my family. All because it thought I killed Cobblepott"

"I'm sorry Bruce. I foolishly assumed you wouldn't do something fucking insane and utterly stupid that makes everything worse

I've known you a long time

I should have known better"

[super_fly]

Nobody appreciates the "I created a robot" guilt trip. You should know that, Bruce.

[sharpasabowlingball]

If I had a dollar for every time Bruce made a homicidal AI for batshit crazy and deeply stupid reasons and then gaslit the people close to him by claiming it was actually all their fault he did this I'd have...

Two dollars

Doesn't sound like a lot but it's screwed up it happened twice

[super_fly]

On the bright side, you'd have two dollars!

[sharpasabowlingball]

A positive way of looking at things!

[tcampbell1000]

I've been gripey lately, so I gotta give props, this is pretty solid.

[sharpasabowlingball]

This both shows why I love Selina and why I can't stand Batman

So glad that marriage never happened. It would have ruined anything that makes Catwoman a good character
