@InvaderXan batman said property rights
@selontheweb @InvaderXan he _is_ a millionaire... so.
@InvaderXan Further proof that Batman is a villain.
@InvaderXan remind me again why Poison Ivy comics are named after (and focus so much on) the villain Batman?
@InvaderXan wow Batman is suddenly so lawful. lawlful
@adambredenberg @InvaderXan Everybody has to follow the law except him, wild
@InvaderXan you don't own the building has the same energy as but where will you get the money
@InvaderXan It does get harder and harder to see Ivy as a villain. All she'd have to do is explicitly stop murdering and she'd be at worst an antihero.
@InvaderXan Also who wants to bet that the building in that frame is owned by Wayne Enterprises?
@InvaderXan The more I think about this, the more I wonder how much, if any, critical writing has been done about the differences between Poison Ivy and the Punisher.
@offby1 I wonder this too, actually. Both are quite comfortable to use violence against adversaries who they believe to deserve it. The only difference is their reasoning. Considering how often she acts for nature and the planet itself (at least in later comic books), you could easily argue that her grasp of the bigger picture gives her a stronger moral compass than Punisher.
Though as always, it depends heavily on the writer!
@InvaderXan Of course it does; both can be portrayed on one or other side of that very fuzzy grey area. But it's interesting to me -- now that I've had the idea put in my head -- that the man's vengeful misanthropy makes him a hero while the woman's protective misanthropy makes her a villain.
I am, of course, simplifying the long history of each character significantly.
@InvaderXan
Also such a fucking scathing indictment of Batman himself.
@pettter @InvaderXan right? "This will be beneficial for multiple scientific reasons"
"but property rights"
@PsyChuan @pettter @InvaderXan the reason people like property rights is that if they are not present then some rando can come and fuck your shit up. It looks cool when you think the shitupfucker is doing something nice, but there is no guarantee that all of them will be.
@byllgrim cool, don't remember asking your opinion tho
@PsyChuan why do you say this? None of the other replies under the op was in response to an explicit request for opinion. Neither was your own first post in this thread. So why exactly do you respond in this way to me?
@PsyChuan how do you think it is cool?
@byllgrim lmao fuck off, nerd
@InvaderXan batman is a simp confirmed
Dr. Pam saves the world movie, when?
@InvaderXan I have spent hours trying to find which issue this clip is from. Where did you find it?
@vidyasagar I forget where exactly I found this panel, so I went looking. It's from Harley Quinn Road Trip Special #1, written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, and illustrated by Bret Blevins.
You can read it online here:

@InvaderXan Thank you so much! You saved me so many hours!
@InvaderXan all cops are batman
@InvaderXan why does anyone like Batman when Poison Ivy is right there?
@InvaderXan I think she has a pretty sound argument that vines are allowed to grow up buildings all the time and nobody gets in trouble for it but whenever SHE so much as thinks of doing a little gardening fucking batman shows up
there are no laws against plants growing up buildings, what she's doing is 100% legal
@InvaderXan
Poison Ivy was the hero all along.
she's not wrong
