The fact that I’ve never seen anyone draw Duke Thomas as a cute baby upsets me greatly

DOLLY PARTON | The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) dir. Colin Higgins
Tim is surprised every time Bruce being a dad. Not even a good one, which he is, but genuinely just a dad.
Like, what do you mean, he asks how was your day and carefully listened to your answer instead of interrupt you on the second sentence and talk about himself?
What do you mean, he cares about you every day and not only when he wants to look like a good dad™ at gala?
What do you mean, he tries to understand your interests instead of saying that it's useless and you have to quit?
What do you mean, he carries you to bed instead of waking you up?
What do you mean, he actually remembers things that you told him?
What do you mean, he stays with you, because you are scared and you asked him to?
What do you mean, you don't need to ask?
And for the first time in his life, Tim thinks that it wasn't his fault. He wasn't a bad child. His father was a bad person.
Everyone’s favourite chaotic Duke Thomas moment is when he jumped off that bridge to escape from the cops but my favourite chaotic Duke Thomas moment is when he got shot for the first time and reacted by smiling gleefully. What a strange child, i love him
I'm adding to this because I'm bored:
It is a known fact that Jason wants Tim as his Robin, constantly annoying him out of his mind because fuck the kid is smart. Jason knows better than anyone that smart people are dangerous, especially when it's someone like Tim who was raised to be able to manipulate anyone at the drop of a hat, so long as it kept the business alive. Well luckily for Gotham, New Jersey, and probably the world- no, multiverse, Tim also has a functional moral compass. Mostly.
Anyway, Jason is fully convinced that he HAS to take this kid under his wing when he finds the literal filing cabinets of contingency plans and aliases this kid has. You know, something about knowing exactly how your kid brother would destroy your life if you stepped too far out of line is comforting. And terrifying.
The point is, they would be a horrifying and delightful team up
Also y'all need to stop saying Jason or Damian are the most dangerous of the Robins. Sure Jason and Dami have been trained to kill, and Jason still does when he feels it's needed BUT. Tim Drake would find everything there is to know about you and make you wish you were dead.
That's the difference.
Love this image. Babygirl you are so feral dog coded
give me a batman comic where their trauma actually affects them.
bruce gets to be affected by trauma. his parents haunting his narrative and him making it everyone’s problem. his decline after jason died. his hatred of guns. damian does, too. his hallucinations of alfred. the inner turmoil he goes through almost everytime he sees talia.
but it’s literally only them except for a select few comics. with everyone else, everything is forgotten when the next run starts.
give me a dick grayson who is so terrified of loss from losing so many people that he worries himself sick everytime any of his siblings don’t answer a phone call.
give me a jason todd who can’t stand to be in small spaces due to waking up in a coffin and digging himself out of his own grave.
give me a stephanie brown who still thinks about her child everytime she sees a baby.
give me a tim drake who has to force himself not to flinch everytime there’s an explosion because of how many people he killed in the league of assassin bombings.
give me a cassandra cain that reverts back to silence when she gets hit with fear gas.
give me a duke thomas that spends every spare second he has researching potential cures for his parents.
like?? give me a comic where they’re human.
