Genuinely Starting To Believe My Theory That Being Handed 'Batman' Or 'Amazing Spider-man' Makes Even

oh the blessing and the curse of having a good film adaptation of a fandom you love

I feel like, at this point, batfam's deaths are just naps mid-battle

I know he’s just lying to protect his secret identity but I’m sobbing over the idea of Jack Drake being the Tony Hawk of philanthropists in Gotham

honestly it’s not even weird that he died twice at this point, what would be weird if he hadn’t died at least once

this is what I'm getting from the DC fandom right now

"THERE IS NO STATE WHERE IT IS LEGAL TO KILL A BABY WHEN IT IS BORN" THAT WAS A FUCKING AMAZING MODERATOR INTERJECTION THANK YOU SO MUCH

Working slowly but surely! I’m gonna add Roy and Bizzaro next methinks.

Tim has literally no idea what he's talking about. But that's not about sense, that's about spirit

Slightly belated Happy Father’s Day to the man who never wanted kids and the boy who needed a dad. Print in the reblogs.

Thinking about how this was probably yj98’s member status at one point.

I find it really funny that people take a panel out of any comic to say "see?? X is not like fanon says, actually he is like this". Bestie, the first thing I've learned from DC is that canon's fucked. Not in the sense that it's bad (sometimes it is), but in the sense that is inconsistent at best.

I'm talking about Batfam right now, so the thing is people want to say x or y robin was the chaotic one and... They all are. They all are very polite or absolute menaces. And It's a staple of the genre. Obviously if you read Tim's run as robin or his comics you're gonna get the impression that he is the main character. Just the coolest, most nuanced, goes through every single event ever kind of character. But if you read Dick's comics...surprise! He is also the smartest coolest funniest robin ever. And omg isn't Jason traumatized when you read his story? But also isn't Steph even more so? Or Cass?

Jason's og backstory was so similar to Dick's they had to change it. Like sure they give each robin/batfam their own traits and backstory, but they also end up with really similar abilities/going through similar events a lot of the time. And personality wise it's not much better because you would think that's one of the things they'd want to keep stable but no.

Tim swings wildly between Batman's most obedient good little soldier and feral child that lies to his face. The evolution sometimes is non existent or not coherent with the plot but that's because a new writer picked it up and he doesn't want to focus on that. Even their unique characteristics get fucked around in canon. Paraphrasing "the characters will do what the writer wants them to do".

If you're afraid of misrepresenting the character I would fall back on these core traits and build up from them. As long as you keep that in mind it's gonna be more canon compliant than some parts of canon. I'm also big on "let people fuck around with fanon" because truly, I might hate some interpretations of the characters...but it's not like it's canon. That's someone playing dolls with a comic character, who cares? I say let them. Simply don't engage if you dislike it.
