Okay, We are all used to it and many love the current Bruce, secretive and emotionally constipated... And I know poor communication is a trope in their life at this point...
But, man, sometimes I miss the old Bruce, when it was just Dick and him, and Bruce didn't mind telling people he loved that kid like his own son, who tells Dick that he would rather lose his arms than him, that he couldn't even think of replacing him, who played with him and that was more important than anything.
I miss them.
happy fresh out the can friday sunday!!
took a fat nap this fine sunday. here’s one way bruce could become a grandpa.
(i apologize to these kids. 🫡 )
@havenshereagain got me thinking about Tim in Young Justice merch so I sketched some ideas out.
He wears Kon's shirt as PJs (Timkon HEAVILY implied), Impulse merch for workout (it's durable and made out of breathable fabric specifically for this purpose), and Wonder Girl merch as an everyday item of clothing.
I might make a full artwork about this when I have more time, who knows.
People will have Dick acting too nice to his siblings sometimes. Never forget that Tim thought Dick was buried under a bunch of rubble, and Dick took a hot minute to observe Tim from his spot up in the rafters before letting Tim know he was alive and well. Cheeky shit even had the gall to tell Tim, "You should see your face. You really looked worried."

"bluh superman is boring bc he has basically no physical weaknesses he's completely unrelatable" YOU FOOLS YOU BASTARDS YOU IDIOTS his weaknesses is that he was raised to THINK and ACT and FEEL completely human!!!! The whole POINT is to explore what happens when you take a guy who mentally is a caring and kind and decent and conflicted and messy human person and contrast that with him having the all powerful abilities of a god it's about the CONFLICT it's about the TENSION it's about the DOUBLE LIFE it's about wondering if you can theoretically spend 24/7 saving people because you don't have to eat or sleep or breathe can you actually justify having a job or going to bed or falling in love or living a life!!! It's about being well known as being powerful so your public persona can never once slip never be angry never trip up or else you become a symbol of fear rather than hope!!! It's about having to also keep yourself in check every day and having to keep yourself of two minds and having to explain over and over and over again that you're not interested in dominance you're not interested in power you're interested in justice and mercy and help. It's about no matter what you are always subduing some aspect of yourself either your mind or your body depending on which role you have to play!!! And all of that is JUST on the introspective level!!! Superman is one of the most fascinating characters ever if you think he's boring imo it's bc you're being boring about it
I think accepting Bruce is raising an army of child soldiers is a necessary aspect of the suspension of disbelief needed to enjoy the series where a grown man dresses as a bat and fights clowns
It's important to me that Bruce likes his kids. Not just that he loves them - of course he does, if often imperfectly and at times even poorly - but that he genuinely enjoys being in their company. He likes them.
