I love how when Barry sees a substance he doesn't know he's all like, "oh, hey let me lick this to find out" and its not that big of a deal to him. Why is it not a big deal? I'll tell you why. Its because anything potentially dangerous like poison or some other toxic substance wouldn't be able to last anymore than a second against a speedster immune sytem (unless it was an extremly high amount or specifically made for a speedster). So when Barry sees an unknown substance hes just like, "why should I wait for a test to find out what this is when I could just taste it right here and find out".
Now, when Dick does this, it's a whole other story. Why? Because, HE'S HUMAN. He's not some enhanced person, or metahuman, or alien, or a speedster with 10x the strength of a regular human immune system. He's just a guy. And I find it hilarious he looks at this unkown substance and thinks, "Why tf not?" and just licks it. Now, I'm like 96% sure he only went so far as to lick it because he saw how grossed out Wally was and wanted to be a little shit and mess with him, but still.
And then he finds out it's clay, and he's all like, "Oh, thatโs what it is." Acting like he didn't just almost kill himself.
I MEAN HES LITERALLY SMILING, ๐๐๐.
THE ONLY APORPRIATE REACTION WAS WALLY'S.
Which, speaking of Wally, I love how hes all grossed out with Dick's actions, but if it was Barry he'd have no problem with it. Like, I can imagine him seeing Barry do this and be absolutley fascinated by the fact his uncle, ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ด๐ฉ, licked some unkown substance to figure out what it was. Why? Because, lets face it, hes a fan boy at heart.
Now, if you asked him to do it, I know for a fact he would look at you like you just grew a second head.

OMG, THESE ARE SO ADORABLE
I feel like Joan and Jay's relationship isn't focused on enough so I can't tell you how happy this makes me to see it being acknowledged
I love you, Jay Garrick, even though you're a horrible liar.

I dunno man, he looks possesed to me
Wally West Meets Barry Allen's Kids:
I don't know what you're on Dick with this "I can't let you join the Bat-family" crap.
They look like the batfam to me
That's cold man
Honestly using Hades as the villain for every greek mythology story because he happens to rule over the afterlife would be like if 3000 years from now they made a bunch of Justice League movies where Batman was the villain because he has the darkest costume
From Nightwing #90, where Wally is assisting Dick in taking down an unexpected villain!
Though Wally had to sait a whole issue for payback, and it's not like Dick doesn't have issues of his own about KGBeast

I'll bet that Wally was straight on the Titan's WhatsApp claiming the kudos for THIS one, and come the next Titans meeting, he got high fives all round and got the first choice of pizza toppings)
"My favourite superhero is Green Lantern!"
"My favourite is the Flash!"
"Mine is Robin!"
Your honor, they're boyfriends.
I read comics and rant about them -speedster and batfam Central- because all my friends just can't seem to understand the absolute power they hold over me.
