I Always Find It Funny When People Say That It’s Unfair How Bruce Let Dick Get Away With Killing The

For some reason people in charge of media hate putting bi people in (for lack of a better word) heterosexual relationships and it’s so dumb.

Does anyone else dislike it when people dismiss Tim and Stephanie's relationship. Like on the one hand, I get part of it is a joke, and that people are just being lighthearted. But on the other idk. Part of it feels like they're just erasing Tim's bisexuality, and the fact that he is not solely attracted to men, but I also feel like it complete diminishes just how much Tim and Steph meant to eachother. Thats not even talking about how poorly DC handled their break up.

My gender is rickrolling

Your gender is now the first randomized wikipedia article you get. No rerolls.

Funniest fandoms are where the fans are like, "I'm obsessed with this. I don't recommend it even slightly."

I need her biblically

Do you ever get a brief flash of panic and then you can’t even remember what it was? Like you can’t for the life of you recall what made you so stressed for that split second?

If comfort show, why not comfort shaped?

How does DC keep fumbling Jason’s character. Like they have a brilliant character just think about it. Bruce takes in Jason to help steer him on the right path. To help him channel his anger into doing good. He passes on his morals and his values. His core value being as we all know, his no killing rule. Jason’s life is tragically cut short, then he’s revived and becomes the very thing Bruce fights against. Jason is such a beautiful character but DC just ignores his potential. If you want to dig even deeper you can think about how awful crime alley is in Gotham and how a lot of kids there end up criminals or dead and despite Bruce’s best efforts, Jason ended up being both.

any thoughts on dick haunting the narrative despite being very much alive ?

See my favorite part about this is that Dick doesn’t haunt the entire narrative. Usually when he’s mentioned in other people’s comics (roy,Wally etc) it’s something like “thank god for dick Grayson” or “gee I sure liked working with nightwing” or even “damn I hate the fact I have to do this but nightwing asked and like he doesn’t do that” the same way all the titans reference each other.

You might get a bit more reverence out of like raven? Or Clark? Casually saying Dick Grayson is their favorite or something

But Dick Grayson specifically haunts things that are literally in anyway related to Bruce Wayne (including Bruce) and it’s entirely their fault.

Bc to haunt a narrative one must not be accessible in the narrative imo. And every single one of the bats is too chicken shit to have a normal human conversation.

Bc like Dick does show up in other characters comics, he helps out in the birds of prey, most of the fab 5 have mentioned that he stops by whenever they’re lucky enough to have a solo run -DC GIVE DONNA TROY A SOLO RUN- he helps a lot of the younger teams, he works with the league.

Now GOD FORBID BRUCE CALL HIS SON WHEN HES MENTAL BREAKDOWNING.

Bc yeah he does haunt the Batman narrative. If I had a nickel for every time I turned the page on a Batman solo comic to suddenly get 2 pages of “dick Grayson, my ward the first Robin. My greatest achievement” spat at me I would have enough nickels to buy the comic bookstore

Or in a Robin comic “dick Grayson, the first Robin, he was the blueprint” like if yall wanna act like this pick up the phone and call the man.

Like despite what I and the fandom will tell you. There has never been a time where Dick and the bats weren’t on speaking terms (Jason excluded for reasons of murder and general bitterness) but even when Dick and Bruce hated being near each other -post Jason death- they could still work together.

They just decide to go “ah yes nightwing he’s great and he could probably help wish he was here anyway I’m not gonna call him”

People will bring up Red Robin but him and Tim were solid for like 99% of that so be so fr

Anyway all I’m saying is that Batman and his Russian nesting doll collection of ever shrinking robins need therapy and maybe medication but it’s okay I love them anyway

Sometimes I think I’m a little insane because I’m so sick of pretending like Jason Todd isn’t fine as fuck but I’m such a huge Nightwing fan I feel like I’m betraying him…AS IF HE ISN’T A LITERAL DRAWING HELLO??!????!!???

very tired of the ‘Dick Grayson is mostly a pretty boy with bad puns, golden retriever vibes’ trope. Give me German Shepherd Dick. Give me the ‘consummate performer’ Dick. The one all, brilliance, bloody smiles and showmanship, the one with razor sharp wit and charm made weapon. Dick who seamlessly switches between a million personas. The one who doesn’t know what to do when the show’s over. Give me the Dick no one wants to be on the wrong side of because Nightwing might not start battles, but he finishes them. The only one whose threats the entire Batfam (including Bruce) takes seriously. The one fear toxins can’t affect because he’s been to hell and back.

The Dick who unlike Jason doesn’t even mention how much he’s been fucked up and survived. The one the Joker knew he couldn’t break.
