Since I’ve become known on here for making lists here’s a list of comic panels that make me so horrifically and inconsolably upset that I wanna rip my own face off

(fair warning a lot of these involve child death because this is dc we’re talking about)

1. Dick comes back from a mission in space and finds out that Jason died

The New Titans #55

2. Bruce promises a dying Steph that he will ensure the baby she gave up “will never want for anything”

Batman: War Games (2005) Act 3 #8

3. This specific artist’s version of Bruce holding Jason’s body

(I can’t find the source no matter how hard I look I’m so sorry)

4. Bruce hugs Damian’s torn Robin uniform to his chest shortly after Damian died

Batman and Robin (2011) #18

5. Roy wonders if Lian’s last words were “daddy help”

Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal #1

6. Also, Roy saying “love you, Lian” when he thinks he’s about to die

The Flash 2021 Annual vol 1 #1

7. Donna snaps her zombified baby’s neck

Blackest Night: Titans

8. Barbara gets frustrated with Cass’s inability to read and calls her stupid

Batgirl (2000) #54

9. Bruce beats the Joker while yelling Jason’s name

Batman: Knightfall vol 1

10. Alfred promises 8 year old Bruce that he’ll teach him how to use a rapier “like Zorro” if he agrees to go to his parents’ funeral

Batman: Curse of the White Knight #7

The doodle was by me and the quote was from the lovely @incorrect-waynemanor ✨

Why is it that most fanfiction today thinks that Bruce didn't try to avenge Jason's death? He did. In Batman#429 Bruce had every intention of stopping the Joker - permanently. The Clown had been made Iran's official Ambassador to the United Nations (this was 32 years ago and acceptable at the time). The US government was rightly worried about Batman killing the Joker and causing an international incident. So, the President asked Superman to keep an eye on Bruce.

Like that was going to stop Bruce. Batman was absolutely driven by vengeance at that point. Nothing was going to derail his plans for the Joker.

He went to UN as Bruce Wayne. Not the dillitant, playboy "Brucie" Wayne but Bruce I-am-vegance-and-the-night Wayne. The two come face to face. In those moments Bruce knows exactly what he has to do.

The Joker lived down to Bruce's expectations, attempting to kill everyone there with lethal Joker gas.

Superman saves the day by inhaling the deadly gas. Bruce becomes Batman, seemingly not really caring if anyone sees him donning the uniform. Bruce's need for vengeance is what's driving him here. He's done with subterfuge at that point.

This was written in 1989, my children, so Batman wasn't allowed to come right out and say "I'm going to kill that rat-bastard Joker myself!" However, it was clear that Batman saw this as a final conflict between the two of them. Bruce was also fine with the idea that he probably wasn't going to survive the fight. Dying while exacting final justice on the monster who killed his boy was acceptable to him, possibly even preferable.

Batman leaves Joker with what looks like a fatal gunshot wound near the heart. The helicopter they're in is about to crash. Batman does escape with his life but doesn't even consider trying to save the Joker's. He leaves him to die in a fiery painful manner and seems good with it.

When Superman shows up in time to pull a wounded Batman from the water, Bruce shouts at him to find the Joker's body. Not to try and save Batman but to haul Joker's cold, dead corpse from the river.

So fannon is wrong. Heck, Jason in cannon is wrong. Bruce did try and kill the Joker for what he'd done to Jason and at the time it looked like he'd succeeded too.

Jason Todd quotes vines everyday

Here are some scenarios of that:

Dick: Hood, where are you going?

Jason: why you need to know? all up in my pussy boiiii

Damian: *about to throw a batarang at Jason’s back*

Jason: BITCH I hope the fuck you do! You’ll be a dead son of a bitch I’ll tell you that!

Tim: I’m gonna scare the shit out of Jason when he comes back from patrol

Dick: good luck with that

Tim, later: *emerges from dark, scares Jason*

Jason: *in fighting position* I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you. Not even worried about it

Jason: *showing up to the Robin training session* look at all those chickens

Roy: I mean tell me honestly, is there anything better than pussy?

Jason: yes, a really good book

Criminal: what’re you gonna do, shoot me?

Jason: I won’t hesitate, bitch *pew pew*

Tim: *knocks on Jason’s front door*

Jason: *opening door* hi, welcome to chili’s

Tim: I don’t fucking know why I come here anymore

Jason: as much as it pains me to say this, you did a good job, Replacement

Tim: really? well I didn’t do much and I was underprepared and

Jason: oh my god why can’t you just take the frigging compliMENT

Jason: Dick, do you think I can get this egg in that jar without cracking it?

Dick: no

Jason: *chucks it right at Tim’s head*

Jason: *watching Dick and Bruce fighting in the bat cave* can I get a waffle? can I please get a waffle?

Bruce: Damian was injured during patrol, his nose won’t stop bleeding

Jason: *pointing at Damian* he need some milk

*at the dinner table in Wayne manor*

Bruce: so, Jay, tell us about one of your recent missions with the outlaws

Jason: okay. So I’m sitting there, barbecue sauce on my titties-

Damian: this is why you’re never invited here anymore, Todd

Roy: I love a feisty girl

Dick: the innocent ones are the best

Jason: well, I like my women how I like my coffee… big tits

Dick: *fucks up somehow*

Jason: what the fuck, Richard

Bruce: I just want what’s best for you, Jason. As much as you don’t like to believe it, I am still your father

Jason: you’re not my dad! ugly ass fucking noodle head

Bruce:

bonus: retaliation from Damian

Jason: *shoots at Robin*

Damian: this is why dad doesn’t fucking love you!

feel free to add more!!

Imagine the batboys switching roles

It starts with Tim and Damian arguing and Tim says something like, “You wouldn’t last a day as Red Robin, demon brat” and of course Damian takes that as a challenge. So, they decide to swap alter egos for a night. Jason thinks it’s stupid, but Dick loves it, so he gets Jason to join with him. When the night comes, they all put on each other’s outfits,(with some size adjustments, of course), Damian as Red Robin, Tim as Robin, Jason as Nightwing, and Dick as Red Hood.

As expected, Tim and Damian hate it. Tim had a different relationship with Bruce as Robin, and hates being treated like Damian.(being treated like a kid) Damian doesn’t understand why Tim works with anyone he works with, Tim’s staff is too long for him, and his notes are so sloppy(from sleep deprivation)he can’t make any sense of them to work on cases. When the night is over, both of them are tired, and somehow hate each other even more. They both expect Dick and Jason to come back the same way.

Dick and Jason, however, loved it.

Dick loves being Red Hood. The armor makes him feel safe, guarded. Even if he gets shot or stabbed, it doesn’t hit him. The helmet is extremely efficient, and he never has to worry about his identity. He feels invincible. He uses the guns, but doesn’t kill anyone. Still, they make his work much easier and efficient. He feels strong, powerful, secure.

Jason loves being Nightwing. The ecrisma sticks that he used to think were dumb, now filled him excitement. Hearing criminals scream as they were electrocuted or the thunk of the stick landing on someone’s skull was as satisfying as shooting a gun. Even though he thinks it’s impractical, he loves the outfit, too. It’s thin, so when he jumps off of skyscrapers he can feel all the wind rushing against his skin. It makes him feel higher than any drug could make him. Now he get Dick’s love for jumping off high buildings. He feels light, strong, free.

Tim and Damian are shocked. They never expected the other two to have such a good time while they suffered. Of course, the peace couldn’t last forever. In the middle of Jason and Dick fangirling over each other, Tim leans over and whispers to Damian, “Told you ya couldn’t handle it”

lets go lesbians!!

I just really love the parallels here

Eobard keeps trying to be Barry. The man wants to take over his life, fool Barry's friends and family into thinking that he's Barry Allen and be the Flash but he never accounts for the (former) Kid Flashes.

Wally and Bart watched 'Barry' be mean, rude and disrespectful and both immediately jumped to Invasion of the Body Snatchers and I love them for it. They never even considered that Barry could be mean to them, it wasn't even an option. If Barry was being mean to them then it wasn't actually Barry.

Wally full on bitch slaps the guy and Bart drop kicks his ass without a moment of hesitation. And both do it while telling Eobard that he isn't Barry and that he'll never be Barry.

The absolute respect and love those two have for Barry is just downright beautiful sometimes (and very much deserved and reciprocated). I love how violently wholesome they are.

ned going around and asking tobey and andrew's spiderman abt their bestfriend and being TOTALLY frightened at their response and then going to peter to asure him that he'll never turn into a villian and kill him........ the man DESERVES EVERYTHING.

yeah i want to be dick rn
