Batman Gets Bored And Calls Aquaman?

It's great it's Aquaman and not Superman. There's room for more than just the core 3 and I appreciate a chance to showcase their interactions outside the job.

[@ShadowX2406]

That’s a good weakness to bored him. I wonder what would happen if Gotham didn’t have any major crimes happen for one week? How much boredom would Batman can put up with before he cracks under pressure?

[@lastguardianofthedyinglight]

​@@SLVYER1 he called Superman to spend a day at his house before he would get married to Selina. Pretty much all they did by themselves involved playing chess and aimlessly rolling around the manor while they talk about how both sides of Bruce's life could change after this and how happy Clark is to see him finding happiness. (You don't even wanna know what Lois and Selina did all day)

[@ForgottenFafnir]

To be fair, Batman works 23 hour shifts every day, and has never really given HIMSELF time off. Sure he sometimes does things with the Robins, but I don't think he's ever just sat down and decided to watch a movie or read a book that doesn't involve some crime or incident. Alfred has always had to quite literally force him to take a nap, eat something, sit down, etc. I can't imagine being such a workaholic that when I finally get time off I have no clue how to take a break.

Well bro at the end of the day, I’m Batman’s universe Batman is as cool as he is in our universe, meaning literally no one would pass on the opportunity to hang out with BATMAN, he’s like Lebron🤣🤣🤣

[@Nempo13]

Part of it is due to Batman reminding him of his own human father. The old fisherman/lighthouse worker was a quiet stoic man who did his job and never once complained about it. Batman is quiet in the extreme, stoic about everything, and never complains about the job before him. In the comics Arthur doesn't know he is an Atlantean before finding Atlantis. After finding an EMPTY city underwater (yeah his people weren't even there, it was an empty city that was half in ruins). Batman helped him explore it and did a TONE of research to help Arthur learn more about it. Bats is also the one that helped him find the other Atlanteans. Why only Batman? Diana was dealing with something related to the Amazons and the Greek gods, Clark and Hal were off planet, Barry is kinda useless underwater, leaving only Bruce to help. He never complained about how things just got stranger or more difficult once. The mission is there, he completes his mission. So yeah Arthur has a lot of respect for Bruce. Once the Atlanteans were found and Arthur could interact with them how he wanted, Bruce stepped back and returned to Gotham. After all, that is something Arthur had to figure out.

i know your made this as more of a joking comment but you have honestly realized an aspect of his character far too many writers just don't get. batman isn't "the real personality & bruce is the mask" bruce has to put on a front for both personas (the billionaire playboy to avoid suspicion and the mythic specter to strike fear". he has to give up a little bit of himself in both in order to achieve his vow, so when people like catwoman, superman, alfred & dick are able to talk to the real him it's more impactful (if batman is "the real persona" he ends up coming off as an emotionless, sociopath robot)

According to TVTropes Batman once found a criminal that was leaving clues based on an obscure movie because he knew the movie. (The Riddler found him because of his underworld connections and was pissed at the lame copycat.) He also knew a young woman in Japan was Martian Manhunter because he recognized the fake name of Rei Hino as Sailor Mars.

Well, it is one thing to lift something than it is to pull it out. The penny was stuck. Aquaman could have tried to get it out. But likely end up causing more damage to the penny. Plus, maybe triggering another quake inside the cave.

[@LittleZbot]

Way more. He's lifted meteors, punched out Superman, and literally caught and arm-wrestled an attack that was going to destroy all of Atlantis. Not the city, the _continent_ . But DC also has written the Flash being shot by bullets, so who even knows

[@sillywamosir]

well yeah, but the force required to take out the penny without damaging it, damaging the cave, or causing another earthquake might be more than that.. sure, Aquaman is super strong, but he still can't catch a falling airplane without killing some of the passengers inside it.

That's more of a womanizing playboy facade so that others don't suspect that Bruce is Batman. In reality, Bruce doesn't like spending money on women he doesn't even know, much less buying things he doesn't need. And in this story Alfred had left the mansion to help Tim, so Bruce was alone in the mansion.
