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.
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.
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
I admittedly don’t know much about Jason Todd’s relationship with Artemis but I propose that their ship name should be Arson.
Everytime I see Jason call Tim replacement in fanfic (I will forever deny that he said it canon, nope did NOT happen) I have to laugh because who do you think was the replacement first?
Daphne and Dick definitely meet up to talk shit and gossip.
Gotham twitter AU can be canon IF and ONLY IF you accept 1. Scooby Doo exists, and 2. Robin and Daphne hang.
"love is what makes us human" actually it's 'select all images with boat' but go off I guess
Funniest fandoms are where the fans are like, "I'm obsessed with this. I don't recommend it even slightly."
Sometimes a family is you, your dead dad, your space mom that fucked off for two decades, your space grandpa/commanding officer, the inter dimensional wolf you found, and your brother that pulled you off the street like a flea ridden cat.
they are verrrryyy important to me actually
