Batman Beyond 1×12 Reaction

1. Aaron and Calvin deciding to defend the weird ass relationship between Bruce and Barbara is not exactly what I was expecting. The general consensus is that this relationship is weird and creepy. A father getting with his son’s ex-girlfriend. Real weird.

2. it’s bruce timm’s weirdest things to be so consistent about. Bruce x barb is no wrong in some many ways.

3. When it comes to the Barbara/Bruce “relationship,” at least in the shows, i always saw it as a one sided thing. It seems that Barbara was the one always showing interest in Bruce & talks about being “together.” It’s never been shown that Bruce has any feelings like that towards Barbara.

4. how is eric the only one that thinks the bruce barbara thing is creepy?! she was underage when they met, bruce was nearly 30, she dated his son, she was the daughter of batmans only really close friend. overall its a disgusting plot point only bruce timm writes, no one else who makes batman content likes this story

5. Bruce x Barbara was a personal preference of Bruce Timm, no one liked it.
   Yes they are consenting adults but they met when she was under 18 and he was in his late twenties/early thirties. She was a former girlfriend of the closest thing he ever had to a son. And he was friends with her father. Like imagine if your child and a co-workers child started dating then afterwards you started dating her. Hella weird.

6. its explicitly stated that bruce in knew barbara when she was under 18

7. The Batman/Batgirl thing was a Timm thing that almost no one else was interested in.
