The Making of a Fascist Batman in Today's Detective Comics #970 (SPOILERS)

All versions of Batmen get accused of being fascist at some point.

But, to paraphrase George Orwell, some are more fascist than others. Nightwing: New World Order has seen a Dick Grayson create a very Batfascist future, and in Batwoman and Detective Comics we have seen the new Batman of Tomorrow, a future Tim Drake under the cowl, has also given us Batstormtroopers, and a Gotham that restricts all freedoms in order to provide a security that is self-defeating.

With Batman preparing for War, Tim Drake looks like he's heading to that future.

Bringing everything in under one authority, Controlling the police. Bat-signals everywhere and always on. Making the ambulances run on time…

And plenty more to come. All very well-intentioned, paving the way…

Red Robin, stay in school. Or become a fascist Batman. Or, you know, a more fascist Batman.
