Is it weird that i miss this? Like I genuinely found this dynamic so entertaining. And like honestly I kinda felt like it showed how much respect they had for each other? Like oracle could easily find out what Tim was up to/his identity, but because he doesn’t offer it up and chooses to keep it private, she doesn’t pry. I don’t know I just really liked this dynamic it was so different and interesting. I miss it. . .
these days the facto assumption usually seems to be that all of the Bats know everything about other members of the gang, so it's really interesting to get these jarring reminders that they used to operate with crazy levels of secrecy. like just in Nightwing #20 (1998) we have Barbara being the last person to find out that Harold even exists, years after he started living in the Batcave
and, even more drastic, Barbara and Tim meeting in person for the first time ever (also god they talk about Bruce like he's an elderly dog they need to keep track of lmao)
and Babs doesn't even know Tim's secret identity! when he and Dick head over to Wayne Manor to look for Bruce, Tim peels off to check on his dad next door, and not only does Babs not know why but Dick doesn't even tell her. she has no idea who Robin is outside of the costume and absolutely no one thinks that's weird.
they're sooooo dysfunctional I love them
if tim was stuck in a time loop I think the first person he'd tell would be ives because ives would believe him instantly
petition for tim to steal inherit more of jason's identities since he already got robin and red robin from him
Lex @ the Young Justice during Our Worlds at War:
Simple observation I made from reading these comics. DC, stop making their dad an asshole and make him hug them more.
Also, the hugs in these comics:
Tim's hug is not in Red Robin but it's during the run and when Bruce comes back in time.
Cass' hug is weird because they're suicidal freaks who think fighting is therapy. They fought while being drugged, and blew up a brigde. It makes sense for them only.
Jason's first hug (Outlaws) is after he tries to apologize for his crimes and Bruce refuses to let him to do it, because his boy is innocent for him 🥺 (and then, they fucked it up with Ethiopia because they cannot let them have nice things 🙄). The second one (Red Hood & Arsenal) is started by Jason, who is just very happy to see that Bruce is alive, even if he has lost his memory.
Tim: [beating himself up]
Kon: [comforting arm around his shoulders]
Dick & Donna: [stacked like meerkats to spy]
Fun fact in this duo Stephanie is the good cop.
I want another Kara/Steph team up but when Kara is one of her angst phases.
robin 129 has one of the most intense tim panels i’ve ever seen. this is why i read comics
Jon: I’m a co parent of a beaver named Kyle Jr and it’s all because of poor golf cart driving skills. I’m pretty sure he has rabies but it’s NOT my fault
Dami: For once
he's just a little guy
