dammit, batluis!

Here’s the thing, Mex­i­cans have an amaz­ing sense of hu­mor about be­ing Mexican.

All I see here is one of us as a Superhero.

My nerd brain doesn’t care about con­text. I just like stand­ing along­side Bat­man and Robin. As an equal.

Be­sides BatLuis is smart enough to trick Bat­man! Treacherous?

More like a ridicu­lous intellectual!

BatLuis is just that 8‑year-old girl they just found in Mex­i­co that has a high­er IQ than Ein­stein.

Also, we claim Dick Grayson as our own.

Lets see:

The Graysons? Ob­vi­ous pseu­do­nym. More like the Garcias. 

Ri­car­do Gar­cia works with his fam­i­ly per­form­ing a dan­ger­ous job, ig­nor­ing child la­bor laws 

His fam­i­ly is killed due to the un­safe work­place con­di­tions of said job 

Loose ties to or­ga­nized crime through fam­i­ly or friends 

Adopt­ed by a well mean­ing White man and taught a world­view that re­framed his trauma. 

Re­al­ly, just swap out vig­i­lan­tism for Mor­man­ism, Protes­tantism, or Acad­e­mia and it fits.

Why the hu­mor? It helps to frame the hard work of be­ing in a new place and nev­er quite fit­ting in.

Every­one laughs right?

But BatLuis laughs last.
