Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That would just be Bruce Wayne acting in best interest of the company. But yeah the banality of it sounds like a great Jekyll and Mr Hyde thing.
Have you read Red Son? Where Superman is born in Soviet Russia, ends up taking it over, and implanting brain chips in citizens in order to make them comply?
It was done 20 years ago. And over and over again people have done evil Superman. It's unbelievably played out. It's boring.
An evil Batman is more than him taking the best interests of the company, and they've actually played with the idea before, though not as much as Clark
One version has him adding drugs to Gotham's water supply to keep crime down. It was okay I guess.
Long story short, I have entirely too many comic books ๐
Yeah I have. What I meant was something more in line with the golden age comics, to really smack on that MAGA fever dream, and just having supes be classic campy but doing fucked up shit like taking away crates of medicine meant for African children and shit like that. More of an illustration of what our actions would look like if one of those classic american idols carried them out. I feel.like it would paint a stinging picture.
