#9/11 tw

Ever since I read two fics about Bruce's kids being in the tower when it's falling, it's made that scene a million times tastier. Like, in one fic, the kids all lived and helped other people, and Bruce was a terminator trying to get to them and make them leave but they kept helping others to his great pride and anxiety. In one they all died and it fucked me up, particularly when Bruce told Clark after the events if BvS, and holy shit, I was crying like a little baby like that shit just hits different.
Just, grieving dad Bruce, who doesn't have superman and Tim to stop him from killing, trying to avenge all five of his kids like 👀👀👀 it was so good!
Yeah!! Not to get too weird about BVS (again) I think there are some serious parallels between 9/11 and the attack on Metropolis that critics really intentionally overlook -- not just that the destruction is similar, but that Bruce's anger/fear/etc closely parallels the US reaction in the immediate aftermath.
He lost a whole skyscraper of his employees -- people who were supposed to be safe in Metropolis, safer than they would probably be in Gotham. And yes, in certain fics, he loses not just his loyal employees, but his kids, too.
I will be the first one to mock BVS (for a variety of reasons) but the whole "oooh Batman started killing and acting OOC out of nowhere" thing always seemed kind of silly to me.
There's a reason his first adult on-screen introduction in that movie is literally him running into a dust cloud in shirtsleeves and loafers -- it's not about Batman. It's Bruce Wayne lifting beams and dragging children out of harm's way.
The Black Zero Event/Battle of Metropolis likely resulted in the death of thousands of people -- several times the destruction of 9/11, though I'm not sure if anyone ever gave an exact number.
It's strange that an event that is clearly presented to evoke that parallel is taken as a mediocre or misguided motivation for any character, much less Bruce -- who is in a unique position as a vigilante to actually do something, however small, about it.

(doubled for size) well I guess I'll be the one to say it I think if you think this is funny you need to log off for a while and do some serious reflection on what goes on in that thing you call a skull

thinking about tk in his grade 3 classroom close enough to have a view of the towers, watching them come down, knowing his dad is in there. Thinking about TK refusing to just sit there, he has to go find his dad!, thinking about gwyn arriving by car or bus or train at 7.38pm that night because the planes were grounded and she was interstate and she fought and pled and begged for the last seat ("My son is alone still at his school with his teacher in New York. My husband is a fire captain,") and she arrives and it is pitch black because the entire city is pitch black and TK is trying to escape (to go Look for him!!!) Or he is getting into Fights or he is completely numb (he's 7, 8 years old) and his mum says Tyler! and he. completely breaks down.
tk remembers the day vividly. grew up With that experience not just Close to it. thinking about that

I don't know what's going on in Marvel comics these days but this cover looks like a shitpost.
Tumblr media
Like they just drag and dropped a bunch of the big name characters and added a rain effect in to make a fake movie poster. The only thing it's really missing is a faded shot of the twin towers to the left of Ms. Marvel.
It would look more real if they used the team she was a part of. Maybe with a less shit posty art style.
