He's got the Aquaman problem where he's got a reputation so writers go in intending to fix it, but it just comes off groanworthy and the best portrayals end up being ones that lean in to the silly. (Outrageous!)

That gives me the urge to see the "man lost in his own pants" gag taken to a ridiculous extreme. Guy vanishes into his own pants. Someone investigates, crawls inside and disappears. A search party is sent into the pants...no one returns. An RC robot sends back photos of miles and miles of denim, scrawled with increasingly deranged notes. A rustling in the denim. Sudden movement. The signal is lost. Days later a single man, starved and aged, stumbles out of the pants...with his last breath he begs the researchers to burn the pants.

...they should have listened.

Why didn't they listen?

97% of birds don’t even have penises, so duck dicks are extra weird.

Some ducks have a social hierarchy where the dominant male duck grows a gigantic dick and the lesser ducks only grow small dicks that they try to hide from the male duck.

Ducks are weird

I have been in a committed crime-fighting superhero sidekick relationship for the past 70 years. I’m the hero and I have 9 sidekicks, five boys and 4 girls. It’s been going great, it’s all consensual and everyone if having a good time. We sometimes live together, but we hang out at my batcave almost every day. It is not a purely vigilante relationship either. We all share an emotional connection and it’s like any other relationship but punching and gadgets.
Of course, as the hero, there are some rules. They need to call me Batman. No teaming up with anyone except for me. If i tell someone to do something, they do it (within bounds of course). The punishments depend on the person, some of my sidekicks get killed, some try to go solo. It all depends on what I agree on with each sidekick. We have safe words too, and we stop the patrols whenever anyone says one. It seems weird to villains but this is what we enjoy and we like to be open about it. Everything has been great.

At least I thought everything was going great. I woke up a couple days ago and told one of my sidekicks to get me a cup of coffee. He didn’t do it. I told him that I was going to punish him (force him to fight Condiment King, which can be easily resisted) and he said that he wouldn’t do it. Now, if one of my sidekicks acts like this I break it off with them so I threatened him that I would kick him out of the Bat-family. The other sidekicks chimed in and said that if I kick him out, they all leave. That’s right; my sidekicks have unionized.

They handed me a sheet of paper with a list of demands. The demands included (I’m not sharing all of them for their privacy), “Allow teaming up with other heroes” and “Demands are to only be followed after nightfall”. I tried to negotiate, but they were firm in their demands. I couldn’t punish them. My hands are tied, and I have no power anymore.

I told them that I would think about it for a couple days. They haven’t left me yet, they still stay overnight, but this list of demands is lingering over our relationship and our crime fighting. They want to keep a superhero, and no one has stepped up to replace me. They thought about finding a new hero online but only if I don’t give into their demands. I want to negotiate because I don’t want to give up too much power. I offered “team ups with other heroes only before 6 pm” and “follow demands after 1 pm”. I also offered following each demand separately but not both together.

I really do have feelings for them, and they have feelings for me. But the power balance was shifted when they unionized and I don’t know what to do. The relationship isn’t as satisfying anymore and I don’t know if it will ever be.

What should I do. Do I let them get a new hero and leave them? Or do I give into their demands and relinquish some of my power?
