Either this is inspired by a shitty bathroom the artist had lived with once, or they intended to make it a shower and they changed it to a tub last second, probably so they could add a bathing scene.
And the rug going under each fixture?
You’re assuming it’s a rug, but it could easily be a art deco tiled floor. That honestly was the least confusing part. I’ve lived in dozens of places that had similar floor patterns. One house I rented had bright pink tile in a similar pattern but it also went up half the wall doing the same thing.
Sure, but I don’t see even a hint of grout lines, and I’d expect to at least see a few of them.
If it’s marble it wouldn’t have large grout lines or tiles. I realize I didn’t say that in my earlier comment, although I meant to.
True. You’re right about that, but then you have a 20 something in, I’m assuming a city apartment bathroom, remodeled so a door is being blocked, with a pink tub and bath, and marble tile floor–and I remain skeptical. But you’re probably right, because anything else would just be absurd.
The more we talk the more I’m convinced the artist was drawing from a specific shitty apartment they had or knew about.
Patterned plastic carpet
This is definitely a scene that could exist irl though.
- Apartment was built with a family layout and two entrances to the bathroom (this used to exist yes)
- Apartment was converted to a shared living thing
- Layout was remodeled and second entrance closed off because it now lead to a bedroom instead of living room or something
- Someone wanted a bathtub and there was no reason not to put it infront of the unused door
You’d still tile at least a little about e the tub, and not have just straight drywall.
If you can afford that yes :D
what the hell is a hroom
took me a second
Ent pondering noise.
(I know, I get the joke, but still… HROOM)
Being upset at that bathroom is not unreasonable.
Yeah. Though, boots and cape to the bathroom is pretty standard
It is on Halloween and nights out patrolling for criminals.
Once again, that is not the door.
Is Lemmy gonna redo all of the ancient reddit shitposts?
I see it now. It’s a color element in the wall, and the bolt lock on the door is actually a shelf for the shower! It makes so much sense now.
Looks to me like the “shelf” is a curtain rail on closer inspection, but why is it floating and what kind of interior designer has a random ass colour element like that
If it isn’t a door, then it’s a really weird paint job and a really stupid shower curtain in the foreground.
Can’t we all just agree this is a shitty panel? Even if the person defending it is correct in the artist’s intention, it’s shitty enough as a whole that the average person thinks this looks absurd.
No! We must fight about it until we all agree why it is a shitty panel of course. Thats the way it is, I dont make rules.
idk if that image is supposed to add context to back up your point but it sure does not
We see the actual door now on the far-left, instead of the centrist Trump-enabling door in the middle there, and the fridge-freezer combo on the Florida far-right
What do you mean? Sure looks like a door with a bolt to me.
What is it?
Simple explanation: the bathtub is actually a mimic.
That bathroom is massive!
that’s gotta be $3500/mo just for it
That’s no help when you can’t enter it.
Not a problem if you enter every room through the window.
I don’t see any visible hinges. That door swings out.
It’s of huge help when you can’t leave.
realizations in order:
lotta pink
pretty big for a bathroom
why is the plunger in front of the door
why is the bathtub in front of the door
Is that a rug because it goes under the tub
push button toilet
Is the toilet paper over the tub?
nah clearly that’s a porcelain soap holder
Bat soap holder.
Aah. Seems like Batgirl can survive without labeling every little thing.
What’s the issue with the push button on the toilet? Most toilets in my country are just a button to push on top?
I moved into a house which has one. I have no idea where to put my Kleenex box now.
Get the smaller square boxes, that should fit.
Yeah it just looks like a standard dual-flush to me. Very common in the United States.
a standard dual-flush to me
Commie toilets.
I mostly see these in public restrooms or airports, seeing one in someones house instead of a lever is kinda like seeing a steel toilet paper holder. It’s not incorrect but just struck me as out of place, definitely the most normal thing in this picture tho
I think this is because dual flush is more modern, so newer built buildings or ones that are often renovated like businesses or airports would have them. I’ve seen the dual flush top button on new residential builds because it wastes less water and therefore more economical.
My grandmother’s house had a push-button flush in the early 80s when I visited, so probably earlier. She wasn’t wealthy or anything, and it wasn’t a new house at the time. How “modern” is modern?
I was thinking specifically the dual flush ones, where you can choose the amount of water used. I’ve only seen those in the last 15 years or so but maybe they’re older than I thought.
Yeah, my gran’s one was the first time I’d seen that kind of thing. It was slimline and eco-friendly (for the time) and you bet you had to use the double-flush a few times if you’d been having the big lunches.
I don’t think they’re modern in the sense that they were recently invented/introduced, but modern in the sense that they’re now becoming a lot more popular in places that have municipal/city sewer hookups.
Anecdore time: my grandparents built a little cabin on an island when they retired (more Puget Sound than tropical, they weren’t bajillionaires lol), but they had one 30 years ago, alongside an outhouse, simply because draining a septic tank on an island cost a fortune. Septic service company basically uses a pontoon retrofitted with a tank and built up to float with that much weight, and they’d have to transfer that to a septic truck in order to haul it away on the mainland.
They’ve been around for quite some time, but 20+ years ago you’d probably only encounter them being used in niche places like that, or in a recreational vehicle, or in other parts of the world where the cost of municipal water is a consideration
You don’t get to be a superhero without defying public conventions… of porcelain placement and toilet flush preference.
Rug also goes under toilet, where the plumbing connects.
Ah, but maybe the toilet is just a prop to make her home look “normal” and she disperses her guano in another, more batlike way?
Bathtub also only has a curtain on one side, leaving the end open for water to splash everywhere, and for cold air to constantly creep in.
Are we going to ask how and why the tub half blockes that door?
That’s a sink plunger, not a toilet plunger.
TL;DR Batgirl occasionally tosses a brick
It’s a general purpose plunger, I have never seen the specialized toilet version irl.
You’ve never seen a lot of tools. Doesn’t mean they don’t exist
I know what they look like which is why I specifically wrote, I have never seen the specialized toilet version irl.
No! Let me attack you more
I know what they look like which is why I wrote, I have never seen the specialized toilet version irl.
Huh. I’ve seen both, but never realized the sink one was for the sink, because it seems like everyone has that one for the toilet.
I always thought the sink plunger was for toilet and the toilet plunger was just a fancier plunger.
I always thought these were for ice cream.
Yeah, but when I read that it suddenly made sense why the sink plunger didn’t work very well on the toilet and the toilet plunger did.
Which, is just one of those things they didn’t tell us in school (but by god we know how to calculate the area of a cone!).
Perhaps simply a painting, as it doesn’t seem to be casting a shadow. Translucent wand?
I’m hoping it’s like an in-joke for the artist.
Splish Splish
Who brushes their teeth with the bat cap on??
Sorry babe, the bat cap stays on during sex
The only way I can rationalize this is if the green rectangle isn’t a door. The door handle actually looks like part of the curtain rod for the tub. It’s still a weird layout but at least then a door isn’t blocked by a tub.
Clearly Gotham landlords don’t give a shit lol.
Landlords in Burnside are known to cut corners.
I have seen the absolute ‘this semi-historic building was demolished a few years later’ bad landlords, and the bathroom situation wasn’t quite this bad.

I guess the bat family doesn’t use doors only windows
