Worst Fan Panic Logic

[carabas]

Ok sorry instead of 4 it was 6. It was a plot point. She was never a robin anymore then Superman is a batman in the times he has put on the Costume.
Robin #s 126-128
Detective Comics # 796
Teen Titans (third series) # 13
Batgirl # 53

Bruce Wayne said she was a Robin. End of discussion. It doesn't matter that he promoted her it for the wrong reasons.

She was just as much a Batgirl as Steph was a Robin. Her costume was passed as the Batgirl costume,

Well, unles you claim the name 'Batgirl', and people actually call you Batgirl, you're not Batgirl.

I think the Grant Morrison worshippers have the biggest and most entertaining cases of fan panic when people talk bad about the man and his run.

Its funny when a new cover is released, like Red Hood and the Outlaws 17, and communities like tumblr lose their $%&!. Because Jason Todd dying would totally be spoiled on a cover months prior to happening.

Stephanie Brown too. I had a satirical post over at Gotham Spoilers that Didio was the reason that DC Nation got pulled since Stephanie Brown was in the episode set to air. Complete joke, Didio is a PUBLISHER, not involved in animation... Some people CITED that post as a "source" that Didio was responsible.

Then given a few weeks, after the Lil Gotham thing, I made note on twitter that I'm pretty much tired of hearing about Stephanie Brown, and the overreaction of a small group of fans is what really has made the character almost toxic. I start getting tweets from some guy claiming I'm not a Stephanie Brown fan (despite me tweeting my Steph collection to him) and that if I was, I'd be sympathetic to the cause, and react the same way. It eventually boils down to him saying that all I'm doing is supporting big business by buying DC comics. When I bring up the fact that he's still purchasing Catwoman and New Guardians, he spins that as him "saving" his favorite characters from being cancelled all by himself, even though I pointed out that his individual $6 don't really mean anything in the big picture. He then said he'd get 25,000 to drop the books and get them cancelled... because that accomplishes SO much. This was the point where I really had other stuff to do, errands to run, and since he had no interest in unfollowing me, I just blocked him and left. Another follower later told me the guy had a breakdown on the Comicbloc forums a couple of years ago where for some reason, he compared himself to the Little Mermaid.

I later looked at his twitter timeline and found that pretty much every single thing he's tweeted himself is just an @ mention directed to like Bryan Q Miller, DC Women Kicking Ass or that SanDiego Batgirl lady, complaining about SOMETHING or @ mentions to other people complaining about the characters in a soap opera not hooking up with who he'd like them to. SO YEAH, that dude likes to complain... A LOT.

In my experience it's mostly when idiot writers do something that just makes no sense. Like how Adam Beechen writes Cassandra Cain.

OR, for the opposite of the usual example, this gem by, IIRC, Marc Guggenheim:





Batfans were not exactly exctatic about Bats taking down the entir JLA without preptime, just by punching and kicking. Wonder Woman fans even less.

I still like the theory that Superman in a Batman costume just messing with every one.

Okay that's just stupid.

That pic doesn't even get to him casually taking J'onn and Hal out...

Not to mention Bats should have totally broken his foot against Wonder Woman, and she wouldn't have felt it.

Solo #10

Also, Helena B. was 'The Bat' and acted as a stand-in for Batman. She wasn't Batgirl.

Call me crazy but I get irked when people say Steph wasn't a 'real' Robin....

Yeah, same here.
Batman tells you you're a Robin, well, that pretty much makes you a Robin, regardles of his reasons.

Batman having sex? Batman not being crazy?

I've honestly never heard any of these complaints. Some fans have complained about the idea of him getting married but they tend to want him to have sex with every superheroine in the DCu. Also I'm sick and tired of people complaining when Batman went crazy in ASBAR because it was an alternate reality which allows you to do whatever the hell you want.

I can't speak for all, but on the contrary, it isn't "fan panic." It doesn't matter if someone doesn't like his work or not because there will always be people who don't.

I'm not going turn this to a ___ vs ____ thread. Yet there are fans out there who take it to another level of panic and fanaticism.

Batman/Canary in All-Star freaked some fans out way too much.

But the mere suggestion that Bruce goes on all those dates and doesn't just pat them on the head at the end of the night... that enflames the brains of a scary number of batfans.

And you can check pretty much any thread here on whether Bats is sane or not for people losing their shit over the suggestion that, at least in-world, he's sane.

Sanity isn't a one or the other thing anyway - he's probably somewhere in between.

Most of those people were probably Green Arrow fans and hated the fact they were doing it while people were burning to death. I personally found it rather cute.

Pretty much describes what's wrong with fanboys.
