Why Bruce Wayne Is Autistic

i am 100% convinced this man is autistic. fight me. this post is specifically about battinson, but the other versions of batman also seem autistic to me (i am autistic myself so i should know). btw this is just my interpretation of what we saw of him in the movie, so sorry if any of this is wrong maybe i am just bad at analyzing stuff-

disclaimer: ignorant and ableist comments will be deleted

warnings : none

he is very soft spoken

monotone voice

eye contact seems difficult for him (either very intense or not at all)

"inappropriate" staring

his face doesn't show much emotion (but his eyes are so expressive)

seems socially awkward (same tbh lmao)

doesn't laugh at jokes (or doesn't understand them?)

doesn't reply to others sometimes (it could be that he's nonverbal occasionally or just needs more time to think of an answer)

needs to be reminded to take a shower or eat

sensitive to light (wears sunglasses indoors)

high pain tolerance

strong sense of justice

black and white thinking (thinking his dad was either a bad OR good person, viewing gordon as a good cop)

notices small details/patterns that others don't

special interest could be being batman and protecting gotham or building tools/upgrading the batmobile

hyper-empathy but can't really express it (example: for the mayor's son or selina)

prefers working alone

rejects social norms (doesn't really try to sound polite, immediately starts speaking to alfred when he woke up)

other people treat him like he's some fragile being or a child (many autistic people get treated like that, sadly). alfred did this but i know he only meant well (which makes sense since he practically raised him). falcone did it too but in a condescending way

also this doesn't have to do anything with battinson but look at this comic panel (from "batman the imposter") :

TIL Percy McTinsel-bud's Tinsel Machine parodies a real record by Christian-band 'Candle' in the late 70s. The music machine is described as;

"The Music Machine: (1977) A Musical Adventure Teaching the Fruit of the Spirit to All Ages is a Christian children's album by Candle. It is set in Agapeland, and teaches children about the fruit of the Holy Spirit."

Wild.
