The trope is that the character is happily intrigued by whatever is strange, dangerous, disturbing, and/or frightening. The image has nothing about being happily intrigued. Even if the image stays the caption needs to be changed to something that's not about being grossed out since that's the opposite of the concept.

The caption has definitively to go.

I think it works. Not the caption, though. As for "happily", I think licking it counts.

Kill the caption. The pic works, but is it possible to get a version that has the extraneous stuff around it cropped off so it can be a hair bigger and the speech baloon a little more legible?

I think the picture and it's caption would actually work better on Squick which is currently imageless.

The image does not really work on Squick. It fits there only because of this trope, and it shows this much better.

Okay, so the caption should reflect what's going through Batman's mind while licking the skull?

[up] That's Black Mask from Green Lantern but otherwise, I'd say yes.

Image stays,caption go

We should change to something like ´don't you love the taste of dead bodies?´

"Don't you love the taste of dead bodies?" works. It's better than anything I can come up with like, "Yum, skull."

"Mmmmm, ichor...", or even "Yum, ichor-ice flavored! My favorite!"

All these captions sound more like "skulls are tasty" rather than the trope. I'd rather think of "Horrifying? He doesn't think so".

[up][up] A fair point, but that's a bit dry for my taste...got nothing along a similar line right now.

What about "Licking skulls? Not even remotely scary. Or hygienic."?

How about "Note: Not normal behavior."

Good enough. The new caption's up and the page is tagged; locking up.
