**"AITA for Stealing My Roommate's LEGO Batman Set to 'Protect the Legacy'?"**
“AITA for stealing my roommate’s LEGO Batman set to ‘protect the legacy’?”
So my roommate—let’s call him “Bruce Wayne”—spent 30 hours building the LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight set. Cool, right? Wrong. He left it on the dining table, unsecured, like some kind of chaos agent.
Fast forward: I’m home alone, tripping over my cat, and accidentally knock the Batmobile off the table. It shatters. 2,000 pieces.
Here’s where I might be the asshole: instead of fessing up, I rebuilt it as a minimalist art piece—just the Joker’s face and a single tire. Called it “The Real Gotham.”
He came home, saw it, and said I “ruined the canon.” I told him it’s a metaphor for how capitalism destroyed Batman’s soul. He’s not speaking to me.
AITA?
TL;DR: Destroyed my roommate’s $300 LEGO set, turned it into an “art installation,” now he’s mad I’m more creative than him. 🦇💅
