Watching Batman Beyond episode 3. Highly disturbed.
Oh god, why oh why does Bruce have Harley Quinn's and other rogues gallery villains' costumes displayed in the Batcave? Does he just steal their outfits as soon as they change into the ugly orange Arkham jumpsuits? Harley fell down a giant chasm -- did Batman climb down and strip her costume from her broken, bleeding body? D: Is it like stamp collecting but with people's
clothes that he then goes and trades for other better clothes with fellow Justice League members?
I don't care if you're a super hero or not, that's just
creepy.
I am in love with your Ten icon. I am stealing it.
Really? I thought I stole that one from you. Must have been one that I swiped without permission from someone else's blog. ¬_¬
Dude the FIRST THING I would take from Harley Quinn would be her clothes. Very. First. Thing.
LOL, that doesn't surprise me in the least. You comic fanboys are all pervs.
Man, I wonder how many Gotham villains are running around naked after a tangle with Batman. I can just see Bats running off after a fight squeeing gleefully after nicking Penguin's super rare tailcoat and top hat to add to his gallery.
My theory is as such: When the administrators at Arkham take the clothes from the prisoners, they give the clothes to Batman, so he can do many many forensic things to them. They help him learn.
So, I just realized you're basing this on Batman Beyond. That's way in the future. Most of those villains are probably dead or retired. That's why he's got their stuff. For memories.
Okay sure, but that still doesn't explain how he got Harley's costume. She wasn't admitted to Arkham, she plummeted to her supposed death down a freaking pit, which can only mean there was either some very naughty indecency on Batman's part, or he got Alfred to create a replica for him from newspaper clipping photos (which I'm sure Alfred is just thrilled about.)
Also, if we're going by your scenario, can you imagine how much of a pain it must be for all those super villains to have to get another set of clothes when they finally get/break out of Arkham again? I know who I'd be sending the bill for all my custom costumes to.
Plus, think of the time commitment this means for certain villains. Okay yeah, the Penguin can just order a new tail coat from Tip Top Tailors, but what about Freeze? Or Firefly? Do they just sit in some dirty hideout re-building their armor and weapons all over again for weeks?
"No, I can't pull the bank heist right now, can't you fucking see I'm reconstructing a brand new freeze ray?!"

It still doesn't change the fact that it's wicked creepy. He's got the giant coin, the robot T-Rex, the Joker playing card -- those are souvenirs from your glory days. Collecting other people's old clothes (some via very questionable means) is a little stalkerish.
I don't agree with you there, Ben. A masked avenger, or villain, usually has one thing the truly defines them and sets them apart from all the other villains; their theme. With that theme comes the obligatory costume. That is to say, costumes are one of the easiest identifiable objects that Batman could get his hands on, if he wanted a keepsake (like Jason Todd's costume.)
POST MOAR! Something with substance that's longer than 200 words! *pressure pressure pressure*
D: How is Batman not substantial? Heathen.
I shall try to blog again before the week is out~
It is not the subject matter, but rather the length I object to. At least when I post short things I post more often. *winks*
Ooooh, you just got called out Brenna! BLOOOOOOG OFF!!!
