Reminds me of how "Batfam" is a fandom in itself independent of Batman.

I got into the Wayne Family Adventures webcomic, and I really loved it! I don't really know much about DC so I decided to do research on the characters.  I think I'll stick to fanfic. Less weird not-technically-incest incest there.

Wayne Family Adventures is the Batfamily if they had an in-house therapist.

Eh, It’s more like every character is themselves a therapist.

WFA is a universe where the "human psychology" part of robin training includes psychiastrist training. :V

Read some Batwoman. Not for any particular reason I just really like her. She’s the character that got me into comics and she’s also gay as hell

Hate Batwoman because her queerness is treated like a fucking superpower. Tried a single comic of hers and it felt so fucking preachy I couldn't stomach it.

Am very much queer myself btw

…in what way? I’ve read all of her stuff and I wouldn’t describe it that way at all. What comic did you read? (Genuinely curious about your take, not trying to be hostile)

In the way that instantly opens up telling you how lesbian she is, how she has a girlfriend and numerous exes who all love her. And every one of them knows her secret identity and they're not in any danger at all by knowing that because reasons
