I Feel Like I Made Myself Clear On The Fact I Do Not Like Dickbabs As A Ship

I love the idea of Dick being all the Batkid's favourite sibling but in violently different fonts.

Jason: Dick and Jay canonically have a pretty solid relationship but i'm partial to the Jason was around for Dick's rebellion stage and so Dick doesn't think he has to worry about the pedestal thing bc Jason has absolutely seen him violently hungover before he was legally allowed to drink font of this

So by the time Jason comes back and is no longer trying to murder Tim (except psychologically) Dick decides... Well he's evil sometimes but also I can finally tell someone all the Titans drama. So him and Jason meet up like once month if they're in the same city and get progressively drunker while shit talking their teams and Bruce.

Also I hate the Dick and Robin!Jason didn't get along. They absolutely did, Dick was like 0.5 seconds away from taking Jason to live with the titans permanently.

Tim: 'Oh Jason is Tims Robin, Oh Dick betrayed Tims trust.' in the name of the orange dude y'all elected twice W R O N G. Tim Drake used to watch VHS tapes of the flying Graysons routine. He wasn't even a batman Stan first. That came after he saw Robin do a quadruple summersault. Tim is a Dick Grayson fanboy first Person second. Like Tim canonically saw Jason die and went lmao skill issue, imagine not being like Dick Grayson i'm better. When Dick first started training him, he'd consistently excuse himself go to the other room, hyperventilate over Dick Grayson teaching him how to train surf. Dick is not just his idol he's also a pretty substantial part of Tim's support system. He calls Dick when he's going through something or is stuck on a case. And he knows that Dick will always have his back. They have like the unrealistic adorable sibling relationships from Tv that don't exist irl. Tim also does that awkward shuffle thing after fights bc they're still siblings and Dick just pretends the fight didn't happen until Tims calm again

Damian: You have to understand Damian thought he'd have to basically do the league all over again. He lands with Bruce and those ideas are soundly rejected and he now has no trust or respect and he has to adjust. And Bruce is doing his holier than thou, you should know better 10yro who literally was brainwashed as a child act, like Tim didn't have to pull him away from straight up becoming a villain and Dick didn't have to put him in his place with his fists a couple times a year (we love Bruce really). Then Bruce gets Time-streamed, Tim runs away and now the circus freak is BATMAN. Except the circus freak is also a sadistic bastard to criminals, despite being made out of marshmallows to you. Dick hangs people upside down off high buildings for information and cackles as Nightwing. He also listens to Damians worries and helps him deconstruct his bias view of the world. Dick canonically set the standard for child heroes and is among one of the most beloved and trusted heroes despite being marshmallowy and refusing to murder people. Dick is kinda like Damians stand in non pretentious moral compass until he learns his own one later on. Hence why Damian adores Dick Grayson more than anyone really.

in summary support my agenda that Dick and Jason are gossipy drinking buddies, Tim absolutely had a Dick Grayson Shrine as a child and Damian calls Dick to double check that he still cannot kill Timothy (its now entirely a joke.... mostly)

I love how severely Jason refuses to differentiate between Bruce and Batman while also refusing to acknowledge that Nightwing and Dick Grayson are the same dude

Dick and Kory canon again in 2025 🙏, Starfire and Nightwing together again as a couple 🙏, mom and dad returning to us from war being wonderfully written together 🙏, the absolute best since Ntt 🙏, with beautiful art and lovely dialogue 🙏, we'll see them together in dcu as well 🙏, maybe even a Mar'i mention 🙏

The nearest comic book store to me is in Paris (I live 7 hours away from Paris)

Ahhh I love when I see the DC fandom literally everywhere

The Bats different religions (headcanons)

Bruce: culturally Jewish but doesn't really practice or believe.

Dick: Father was Catholic, but the circus celebrated everything from holi to yule to Eid so while he does fall more in line with his fathers beliefs, he's has the most knowledge about religious ceremony inside and outside of his own faith.

Jason: "literally was a catholic priest" Todd nuff said

Tim: Mom was Buddhist, Dad was agnostic, He's an Atheist bc if god is real he's a dick and i'm not worshiping him fuck you.

Damian Wayne: Culturally Muslim, but was literally in a murder cult so outside of some celebratory dishes and turns of phrase he doesn't really practice nor does he believe in it.

Steph: went to a protestant church as a child, is an atheist.

these are just my ideas if y'all disagree give me your ideas (Im writing a fic about religious angst and the bats so ya know)

How I picture Brucie Wayne’s birth in the battinson universe.

8yr old Dick Grayson: so B I gotta ask

Battinson: hn

8yr old newly Robin Dick Grayson: do you really think that people don’t suspect the crazy Rich secluded billionaire who disappeared for years to be Batman and then takes in a child only for ‘I’m vengeance’ to appear with a child at the same time.

Battinson: hnnn

DG: nonono like no offense but like don’t you think it’s a little …obvious… like marvel movies exist..

Battinson: hnnn what do you propose I do then?

DG: duh you gotta make sure it’s impossible for you to be Batman

Battinson: hmm so I should plan an event where we are both spot-

DG: get drunk and swim in a fountain

Battinson: ???

DG: if Bruce Wayne is dumb he can’t be Batman

Battinson: Bruce Wayne is the head of one the most successful companies in the worl-

DG nodding along: yep all thanks to the amazing help he hired to do the work for him while he search for the cure to polio in the Sahara desert

Battinson: the polio vaccine already exists Dick

DG hand placed on forehead like a fainting damsel: oh it’s so sad about poor Brucie you know, dumb as a rock that one. Didn’t get an ounce of his parents intelligence thank god he got lucky enough that the people he surrounds himself with are loyal to his parents and aren’t stealing money from him.

Battinson: Robin I’m really not followi-

DG rolling his eyes and grabbing B’s face: I’m telling you to play himbo with heart of gold. If people think you’re sweet and pathetic, they’ll (A) underestimate you (B) not question why you disappear for months (C) pathetic good looking idiots get sympathy points.

Battinson: and how would you know this

DG who got adopted by a billionaire who won’t say no to anything he says bc puppy dog eyes: …….

Battinson: …fair point

DG: worlds greatest Detective he says

Oh look it’s Robin!Dick

He has a grenade launcher peaking out behind him

Bc he’s too short to fully cover it

No one has noticed the launcher bc he’s so small and cute look at him and his little boots.

found this reverse robin au, where like dick not being adopted first changes everything like there was no robin, tim cass and jason were never adopted ( dw cass still has babs) and like birds of prey exist but they don’t work with batman idk if i am explaining myself right here but it is just so good and like i genuinely think it would go down like this in a reverse robin au

https://archiveofourown.org/works/63476209

This was the best reverse robin AU that doesn’t exist in my head

THE ACCURACY!!!

The way that the BATKIDS find ways to do/be good outside of the bat even in shit situations

(Ahhh Jason how you will eternally doomed to exist on the spectrum of gray)

AND DICK AND DAMIANS RELATIONSHIP AND HOW GREY EVERYTHING IS BC WELL??? The LIGHT IN BEUCE WYANES LIFE ISNT THERE YET???

Also dick having an instant connection with Batman vs ‘weird adult I hope he’s not a creep’ and it’s billionaire playboy philanthropist Bruce Wayne. Like bro can just sense that something’s not right with that one??

Also this ties into my lil internal AU. That I will gladly share.

I like the idea that things just inexplicably lighten around dick Grayson. Bc I was looking for a reason in canon that would explain the silly goofy dick and Bruce Batman Robin adventures vs the current dark angsty shit. Bc in canon going ‘it’s been 80 years and media has changed’ doesn’t really work.

So I like the idea that even monsters take one look at Dixk Grayson and decide that yeah even they can’t fuck that up and good men who lose their way look at him and go ‘oh I was absolutely heading the wrong direction lemme just turn myself around and head back on track thank ya kindly’ ya know?

Also every wasn’t at the circus but they all met dick Grayson bro really said ‘multiversal constant’

Anyway this was phenomenal thank you my dear anon for the rec.

Everyone should read this? I will be following the author on all platforms 10/10 you should write the new Batman comics bc you get Bruce and dick better than the current ones do
