The Riddlerbat Effect

Named after the ship between Bruce Wayne/Batman and Edward Nygma/The Riddler from the 2022 movie “The Batman”, The Riddlerbat Effect is where ship content made by a teenager, that most commonly (but not always) involves two grown men that are greatly mischaracterized as if they were half their age; woobification. This is due to the fact that teens can’t relate to people in their 30s, nor do they have any idea what grown adults with full-time jobs do in their free time.

I can tell that The Riddlerbat Effect is kicking in with JohnJack over there. Why else would teenagers draw John Doe as a neet twink and Jack Deer as a brooding emo?
