"Who would say No?"-Roy on the chance to join the JLA

"He won't come."

Dick apparently would say "No." 😂

“Dick Grayson is the mentally stable batfamily member”

All I have to say to that is read Nightwing (1996)

Batman’s little smile 😭🫶

This is the best day of Dick's life.

really liking batman and robin: year one so far

also i like how bruce pretends everything dick does as robin is perfectly normal but no way he didn't panic the first time this happened

no way he didn't panic the 3045th time this happened either, just learned to hide it better

can’t believe i sold my soul to the gay not gay firefighter show every thursday from 8 to 9 pm. oh well maybe they will kiss this time

Hi! I’m Quinn and I have a goal to watch and rank every single DC animated movie! I’ve watch over 20 so far but I just started posting my thoughts on Tumblr. Because I’ve watched so many, I decided to just post about the ones I’m currently watching! But, if you see a movie on my list that you want me to cover, just leave a comment or something or ask in my inbox!

Anywho:

In my quest to watch all the DC animated movies, my next watch was Batman Vs Robin!

Spoilers!!!!

I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. I wasn’t the biggest Damian Wayne fan coming into this movie but honestly? This movie gave me more appreciation for him. I was honestly shocked to find out most people felt differently. A lot of people on letterbox’d were saying their opinion on Damian didn’t shift much.

I think that Bruce’s attitude shift towards Damian lacked some build up, it was definitely there but I felt there could’ve been more. In the movie’s defense, it’s only 80 minutes and there’s a lot of plot to cover. This being said, I LOVED THEIR INTERACTIONS. Oh my gosh it was so cute. Like that’s literally his baby.

DC does better with the pacing in this movie than it does with others. The middle kinda straggles a bit but the last third of the movie is so good it’s honestly worth it.

I also want to take a moment to appreciate the fight scenes. God this movie had such epic fight scenes. Even the sparring match between Dick and Damian was peak. Watching Dick fight was especially fun because they really utilized his acrobatic skills!

A couple of other things I want to add, I did not like the soundtrack. A lot of the music felt out of place and almost like something you’d hear in a YouTube video.

There was one specific plot line that didn’t add up, Bruce had a girlfriend who ended up being part of the court of owls, and she was two timing Bruce with Talon. Long story short Talon killed her, we never got a reaction from Bruce because he never found out, but it did feel like the two of them dating did absolutely nothing for the plot. It didn’t add any emotional stake or any sense of betrayal because…he just never knew? Honestly she could’ve just not been a member of the court and the story would’ve more or less stayed the same. It felt like she was thrown in as a last minute plot twist.

This is real nitpicky of me, but I want to comment on Damian’s relationship with Talon. There were no hints that Talon was manipulating Damian other than Bruce outright saying “Damian, he’s manipulating you” which does the job but I think there could’ve been a few more subtle hints dropped.

This movie may not be the best technical wise or from a writing point of view, but it’s so fun I don’t even care. his movie is probably definitely in my top 5 so far!

I decided to watch all the DC animated movies and rank + review them! The most recent one I watched was Justice League Throne of Atlantis.

My next watch: Batman Bad Blood

I think I recall Nora saying that Andrew and Neil wouldn’t get married but imagine this. They get married at a courthouse with Kevin as their witness. They don’t keep it a secret or anything, it just never got brought up.

Matt: Are you and Andrew planning on getting married anytime soon?

Neil: We’re already married.

Matt: haha funny, I’m serious

Neil: Me too, we got married last August at the courthouse. Kevin was our witness.

Matt: WAIT WHAT?????? WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL US

Neil: You never asked.

The other day on TikTok I saw someone say that Tim is the only Robin Jason considers his brother and that’s just??? Not true??? So here are some moments between Dick and Jason to prove!

I tried to find some stuff on Damian and Jason but I couldn’t find much other than that panel where Damian tricks Jason by hugging him. Please DC let them have some sort of moment, I beg.

Honestly I do love the dynamic between Tim and Jason but a lot of it IS fanon! While I would love for their relationship to be better explored it lacks the depth that I feel Dick and Jason have (only because I feel like we don’t get enough of them in canon) Honestly Tim just needs character development. Let him age PLEASE.
