unpretty:

the idea that bruce wayne’s ideal method of learning is to just find whoever is best at the thing and latch onto them for a while is so underutilized, though. i want to see more of, like. bruce wayne fucking off to join the rodeo, so he can learn the best ways to not fall off things and also hogtie other things. bruce wayne moving to hawaii to master surfing because the thought of not knowing how to surf in some kind of surfing emergency caused him a sudden panic. bruce wayne in the alps learning how to yodel. living with the amish to learn how to make a really good dresser. in the andes learning how to weave. going to florida to wrestle alligators and meth addicts and meth-addicted alligators. when will you ever need to know this, he remembers people asking, as he faces down killer croc with nothing but a net he had to make himself using a machete and a spare sheep.
