The last Batman story

[Trey Strain Guardian of the Universe Find all posts View Profile Close Trey Strain]

An admittedly pretty radical move they could make is to move the whole DCU back to, say, the late 1940s, when characters like Batman and Green Arrow were a lot more credible. And leave the growing restrictions of the modern world for Marvel to struggle with.

They could gain a competitive advantage by saying that super-heroes in the 21st century make no sense, and by dismissing Marvel's attempts to depict them.

The last Batman story: Bruce Wayne does his genealogy and discovers he's adopted. Thomas and Martha Wayne aren't his real parents. Instead, he was abandoned at birth by a clerical worker from Alberta, Canada at a Salvation Army home for unwed mothers in New York. Exasperated, he abandons cowl and cape to search the backwoods, and finally catches up with his natural mother in Fernie, British Columbia, where she is serving as an 80-year old barmaid. His natural father drowned in the Great Lakes before Bruce was even born. Satisfied that he no longer has a psychological need to be the Batman, because the angst is gone, he returns to Wayne Manor, burns it to the ground, and takes off down the coast to Florida in a restored 1966 Thunderbird. The end.

Crime is dropping because it's becoming less and less possible to act surreptitiously and get away with it. For the same reason, it's becoming increasingly impossible to behave the surreptitious way crime-fighting characters like Batman and Green Arrow do.

No, I think he'd become a lumberjack after that. And that's okay.

Bruce and Ollie will get entered into this system too, just like everyone else.

And even though only part of super-heroes' faces are typically exposed, facial recognition technology will greatly narrow down the list of suspects as to who they might be.

Well, that may be true of Superman and the domino-mask wearers (assuming the government is willing to spend the money and time to run them*), but it would be a lot harder with Batman since he basically only shows his lips and eyeballs.

*A private investigation wouldn't have access to the same databases.

The assumption is always that nobody who can access all this information will misuse it. And, further, that it can never be hacked. That's a bad assumption.

Pretty soon the dark won't be able to hide Batman.

Can it be drawn by Mark Bagley?

He isn't Will Ferrel. He lacks both beard and chest hair. Your idea is ludicrous.

Folks, this stuff is getting scary. It's like what I said about software soon making test pilots obsolete, and most posters at CBR ignorantly scoffed. People just don't grasp how fast and radically the world is changing.

Heroes could just go to wearing masks that cover more of their faces. Problem solved. Comics don't need to change any more than they already have. You can only do real-world problems in comics so many times before it gets old. The whole concept is based on fans' suspension of disbelief.

And sooner or later somebody will hack all the smartphones from a network and fuck some shit up. And on that day smartphones will be more of a risk and less of a way to ignore people you don't wanna talk to.

Having the internet in every piece of technology will eventually stop. Maybe not in my lifetime, but sooner than later people will realize what a dumb idea it was to begin with. You can't connect everything. Because then when one things fucks up... EVERYTHING fucks up. A car from the 70's is vastly superior to modern cars for one reason... no computer chip bullshit.

Plus they had a better design. What the hell is with all the blocky cars? Who decided that would be the look?
