actual Bverse comics analysis out there?
Here's my analysis -- the Batman: fucked-up, yo; the Joker: his worldview actually makes sense; Jim Gordon: tough as nails.

I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
the Joker: his worldview actually makes sense
Really? What worldview?

What worldview?
I'm thinking of The Killing Joke -- that this world is so fucked-up that the only possible response is insanity.

Yeah, I figured that's what you were talking about, but I read that a year ago, so I couldn't remember exactly what he said.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
What worldview?

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Yeah, everyone thinks Batman is fucked up; they've just got different and often conflicting explanations of how.

Micole, there's at least one book on it (How to Read Superhero Comics and Why--I love it, despite myself, and blame it for me falling further into this than just the occasional graphic novel), and Te's been collecting links in her memories section.
I have half-formed ideas and analysis in my head, but right now, I'm completely kid-in-candyshop about it, and not much comes out beyond glurble squee flail.

If you do it on the David Endochrine show it certainly is.
