This Is Hilarious, But Imagine It Actually Does Go To Trial, They Start The Proceedings, Get As Far As

This is hilarious, but imagine it actually does go to trial, they start the proceedings, get as far as "for the murder of the man known as the Joker-" and are immediately cut off by the judge breaking his hammer declaring Bruce not guilty on grounds of self defense. Like "do you even HEAR yourself, Prosecution? The JOKER? I agree Mr. Wayne (protesting his guilt and the failure of the legal system to prosecute him properly) this is an outrage, I hereby award you a medal and free therapy for life, DISMISSED!"

I have been thinking lately about a universe where Bruce Wayne killed the Joker.

I want to be clear here, since there are so many longstanding debates on this topic: I do not think Bruce Wayne should kill the Joker. I have just been wondering what would happen if the circumstances aligned in such a way that he did.

And to be clear on a related, yet slightly different topic: when I say I have been wondering about what if Bruce Wayne killed the Joker, I do not mean as the Batman. I mean Bruce "Brucie" Wayne.

Maybe it's kind of an accident? Like, he definitely did intend to hit the Joker, but he's Brucie right now, so he's trying not to look like he knows what he's doing while still doing enough damage to keep the Joker from killing someone, and meanwhile the Joker makes just the wrong move and -

And here we are. Brucie just killed the Joker.

Bruce's reaction here is one thing; he has his one rule for a reason, he's just broken it, he's determined to turn himself in -

His family's reaction is a whole different story. How does Cass feel about this?

How does Jason? Bruce has killed the Joker, just like he wanted, but it wasn't for him, not really, and -

And meanwhile, this happens in front of, say, a gala full of people, so now all of Gotham gets to react to it too.

Average Gothamite, seeing the words BRUCE WAYNE, JOKER, and KILLED in the same headline: OH, NO.

Average Gothamite, once they've processed the order those words are actually in: . . . I did not have that on this year's bingo card.

The city's most famous mass murderer has just been publicly killed by the city's biggest employer/philanthropist/source of tabloid harmless nonsense! Three days before Brucie was making tabloid headlines by tripping into a fountain and somehow losing his shirt in the process! Two weeks before, the newspaper was running a retrospective on the Wayne murders and what donation Brucie was making to help the families of victims this year! The article mentioned how one of his adopted sons had also tragically become a murder victim!

Now this has happened, and Bruce is having a breakdown over breaking his one rule, and the rest of Gotham just assumes that this is because poor Brucie thinks this somehow makes him like the man who killed his parents. They send a huge outpouring of support his way. This in no way helps Bruce's actual breakdown.

Ninety percent of Gotham is sure Brucie didn't actually mean to kill the Joker, and pretty much a hundred percent of them support him whether he meant to do it or not. No one wants to have anything to do with prosecuting this mess. Bruce is trying to make it as clear as possible that he will fully cooperate with the justice system and meanwhile an entire gala full of people is suddenly acting like they could in no way have possibly witnessed events that took place ten feet in front of their faces. Did Bruce kill the Joker? Is the officer sure? That doesn't seem like him. Maybe the Joker just tripped on his own. Marble floors, you know. Very slippery.

As fun as it is to watch Spider-Man being (reluctant eventual) friends with the Human Torch, I find it much more amusing to track Peter Parker's hilarious history with Johnny Storm.

"You changed my life with your insipring words" + fucking off immediately. Followed by "you sunuvabitch, you stole my girl with your wiley nerdy boringness!"(regarding a girl Peter actively could not give two shits about). Followed by years of teenage antagonism only evened out when they team up to build a dune buggy together.

Huh, I didn't know Stonn was on tumblr.

No offense to Spock but if my WIFE was T'pring I wouldn't have fumbled her that badly, I would be fucking LOCKED in dude. We would've gotten married right after she proposed, we're having a shotgun wedding, I'm quiting starfleet to follow my beautiful wife T'pring back to Vulcan, I'll be her perfect husband. I'll cook, I'll clean, I'll even tolerate her shit ass mother, I'll never show any emotions. C'mon T'pring marry me instead, fuck that loser Spock.

Hope is a lie if you mistake it for a promise. No, hope is a gamble. A chance that it might work out in your favour. A possibility that those odds are worth the risk. A cornered rat does not launch to bite a dog in the face with absolute confidence that it will escape with its life.

It attacks for the chance that it might.

normalize my 12th grade English teacher, who admitted that his favorite TV show was Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and when a male student suggested that it was because Buffy/Sarah Michelle Gellar was hot, wrinkled his face like he’d bitten into something rotten and dead, and said, “At my age (he was 53), there is nothing less sexy than a teenager. You’re all disgusting messes.” It was 1999, I was 17, and I’d grown up in conservative Christian schools and churches. In my life I’d heard heard dozens of sermons from male preachers and teachers and even some older students, whining about how hard it was to be a dude and not commit the sin of thinking sexual thoughts, and how they needed women to wear long skirts and cover their bodies to not objectify them

and my bitter, misanthropic, atheist Brit Lit teacher, who hated my class because he was obsessed with teaching Tom Sawyer but got stuck with Shakespeare and Jane Austen, was the first, and this day the last man I have ever heard articulate a rebuttal from the depths of his soul to the idea that it was normal for teenage girls to be desirable to middle aged men

Went to the Johnny Cash museum with my Dad on a road trip. Very cool place, tons of history with sort of a freeroam floorplan in roughly chronological order. It funneled into a single doorway and we figured it would be a lil thank you for coming message. It was not. The last exhibit was a bare room with a giant screen playing this music video. You better believe there was not a dry eye in it.

Okay okay we all know Johnny cash did his cover of Hurt and we were all like “ok he owns that now” but I watched the music video he made and I’m like “oh he OWNS it owns it”

EDIT: just found out from a comment that this is bad art conservation practice :(

Thanks @moripartylove for setting me straight

I always smile when I see these types of videos, especially because of where they start. When lifting the veil of time, where to begin? The corner? The exact middle? No, the faces. Show us the smiles, the blush, the eyes. Pull back the shades on a soul-window hundreds of years distant.

It also takes art to restore old paintings that look like scabs...
