@Lady shiro ogami from BNA has a similar backstory

batman’s colour is black

the comparison breaks down given that batman’s not a wolf god but

@aescling “Rumored to be a thousand murdered dissidents, they said he was a ghost.” well which fucking one is it, a thousand dissidents or one ghost

@Lady @aescling generally in my experience when theres a lot of rumors about something some of those rumors will contradict eachother

Follow

@Satsuma @aescling yes but usually i do not place those contradictions in direct apposition within a single sentence, as though one flows directly from the other in a logical fashion

@Lady @aescling yeah a ‘some say x, some say y’ type phrasing would have made a clearer signal of ‘mysterious but frightening’

@Lady @aescling like the reader obviously knows the rumors arent correct bc we know who batman is, therefore the rumors are just supposed to be signaling the perception of batman as an unknown figure / force of nature

Except their phrasing did a bad job at that
