The Worst Gift Batman Ever Received

[@matti.8465]

I love that they gave such an incredibly broken ability like time travel to the dumbest guy in the world.

[@clyax113]

So do I. This would not be the same if it was given to an ultra-calculating individual who could win with ease; even Doctor Strange is just a man that got powers, but imagine if someone like Batman or Batman with the Knowledge Chair got it; the comic would be over in 5 pages with the amount of problems solved.

[@Crisis-Comics]

I mean, nobody "gave it" to him. He was a janitor in the future who was working on a superhero museum grabbed some gadgets, stole a time machine, and wound up in the present.

[@Taypokemon]

@@Crisis-Comicsthey are referring to the writers. They gave him a incredibly powerful ability but his drawback is just that he’s stupid

[@Gabe600]

​@@TaypokemonIt depends on the writer, half the time Booster is super competent and the reason more people don't know this is because he deals with problems before they happen, and then there's Tom King writing him...

Considering time travel stories like this, Flashpoint, and so on, I'm thinking that if Reverse Flash really wanted to ruin Barry's life, he would go back and STOP bad things from happening. "It was me, Barry! Because I stopped Dick Grayson's parents from getting killed, your father is now a gun-toting version of the Flash, and your mother is now Gorilla Grodd! I'm not sure how that happened either!"

I have absolute no idea what I did...but I shouldn't exist either, but for some reason I am? I am still somewhat insane, but way more sane than usual, and that makes even less sense?!

Wouldn’t the better gift be bringing his parents to his wedding?

[@The_Blue_Otaku]

Would that somewhat fuck up the time line?

[@nzpowa._.6662]

Legit. "Hey, I wanna invite you guys to a wedding." Take them to a wedding in the future. Let them enjoy that date before they go back to the theater. And they die, having attended their sons wedding, without knowing truly their will grow up without them.

[@LCBK]

@@The_Blue_Otaku no if it’s done smartly it can work, just take them from their last moments like the bullet hasn’t been shot yet bring the two to the wedding and maybe let them stay for a few days you know let them meet the family then booster will take them back to the correct time like they never left then bang bang the two are now dead but they know the good their sad scared little boy in fornt on them will do

[@BobofWOGGLE]

Like that time in the 90s when Doctor Strange borrowed an Uncle Ben from just before the incident so he could catch up with Peter, as a gift for helping with some sorta multiverse timeline crisis. Couple minutes to talk, get your closure, back in front of the gun and nobody's ever the wiser.

[@spookydonutghosthouse]

Booster doesn't have enough braincells to think of that

It really is comedic how much of a numbskull Booster can be sometimes.

Step four, introduce Bruce to his real parents and explain to him that the parents he saw die were clones. Optional, make up lie. Tell Bruce that the Court of Owls had your parents all this time and you (Booster Gold) rescued them. ?????? Bonus: Travel to alt timeline and bang a female version of Bruce Wayne.

[@paperknigth2263]

I never like when Bruce Wayne dosn't become Batman, and another character becomes Batman, cause the reason Bruce choose to disguise himself as a Bat is because a bat conveniently flew through his window and landed on his father's bust while Bruce was having an internal monologue on the floor of his office. That both Thomas Wayne and Dick Grayson became Batman on alternative realities when there never was a Batman, is like why? Because at some point of their lives they saw a random bat flying around and had the exact same mindset and inner mental breakdown dialogue than Bruce? If was Spider-Man, okay, a Spider bites you, you have spider-like powers, gotcha. I get how somebody else in another universe could came to the same conclusion, But Batman is merely symbolic. They even have the same suit design, even though bats don't look the least bit like Batman.

[@creepypastakingthedragones3679]

Think bruce was terrified of bats and that was along with the bat flying through the window was the start so tomas becoming the bat might have been he knew his so was scared of bats and that influenced the suit to harness and become what he fears

[@paperknigth2263]

@@creepypastakingthedragones3679 The thing is that's something that the movie made up, Bruce Wayne isn't afraid of bats at all in the comics. In fact, Batman often trains Bats to use in his schemes. It's there obviously just for the shock value of they becoming batman, but it dosn't actually has sence that they become batman. it's just for the sake of adding more version of batman to the cataloge.

Really, Booster Gold is one of the worst people to allow to have access to time travel. He's not smart about seeing the likely consequences of his actions (he lost his career as a sports professional because he bet and fixed games he was playing in -- people had been getting caught doing that over and over for literally centuries before he tried it). He's not an idiot, but he's also not particularly smart. He got his "powers" by robbing a museum that happened to have an odd mix of time travel artifacts in it (an abandoned time sphere from the 31st century, lost in sometime before his time in the 25th century, which had a Legion of Super-Heroes flight ring and one of Brainiac-5's force field belts in it, someone else's wrist-mounted blasters with stun and force settings (possibly a Space Ghost reference) and a durable battle suit, again stolen from the museum). So he did little to nothing to earn his power, learned responsibility really late into the game, and has no clue how what he does could affect time and little tendency to stop and think about it anyway.
