Don’t get it twisted. This was no act of revenge.

“Dick Grayson’s concept design for Damian’s Robin uniform.”

From Batman Files.

DICK DESIGNED DAMIAN’S UNIFORM, GUYS. WITH NO DISCO COLLARS. OR FEATHERS. 

So he isn’t totally helpless when it comes to fashion. :’D

SO TIRED OF DC AND THEIR ANTI-TALIA BS.

REMEMBER THIS, GUYS??

WHEN DC ACTUALLY RESPECTED HER?!

this is me being shameless but could you make some more memes from gotham citizens' pov except its just people being thirsty for nightwing?

of course i can do that

Head empty just Damian’s eyes

Twi

probably what I love most about young justice is how it perfectly conveys how fucking extra the bats are. like yeah that guy has gills and that guy’s a clone and she’s from fucking mars but y’know who’s an actual trip? y’know who’s an absolute goddamn nightmare?

Robin.

he’s not an alien. he doesn’t have any meta abilities. by all accounts he is a 13 year old child except his dad is fucking batman and he has all this custom built tech and crazy acrobatic skills and sometimes he just fucking vanishes without a word. like none of the team could even tell you what colour his eyes are and that is just the way he likes it.

the fucking bats man

a where-to-start for people who are interested in green lantern comics but have no idea where to begin!

this post includes two versions of a general rec list–both up to rebirth, with one super short one and one more in depth–as well as links to similar resources by other people

Hello! I was just wondering if you had knew the proper order to read Dick as Bats but with Damian as his robin? Thanks!

Sure! I couldn’t tell if you were asking for all the comics that have Dick as Batman or comics specifically where Dick and Damian are both present, so I just did a list for both. The ones in bold have both Dick and Damian present. This list is in my best attempt at an in-universe chronological order...it was hard but I tried (cries). Here we go: 

BATMAN DICK GRAYSON COMIC LIST

Nightwing (1996) #138: Dick and Damian first meet. This is part two of seven in “The Resurrection of Ra’s al Ghul” arc. You can read the whole thing for context, but this one is the only one with significant interaction between Dick and Damian. 

Nightwing (1996) #152-153: Dick tries to reconcile with the fact that Bruce is gone, and that he will have to continue his legacy. These comics have Dick going head to head with Ra’s al Ghul, and also show him moving back to Gotham. 

Battle for the Cowl #1-3: Gotham City is in trouble, and Dick is forced to take on the mantle of Batman. 

Batman (1940) #687-688: A lot of this is about Dick learning to be Batman, but you also see a lot of him talking about how he is planning to approach Damian. You also see some of the beginning of Dick training Damian as well. Technically an epilogue to Battle for the Cowl.

Batman (1940) #689-692: Dick continues to adjust to his role as Batman. Two-Face manages to sneak into the Batcave, and tests Dick’s conviction. 

Batman and Robin (2009) #1-3: Dick and Damian’s first time working together as Batman and Robin. 

Batman (1940) #693-696: While Batman takes to the streets, Damian is mostly delegated to training, in order to improve his detective work. Unfortunately, Damian doesn’t take the work seriously, leaving Dick vulnerable to Black Mask’s and Penguin’s plots…

Batman (1940) #697-699: Batman finishes dealing with Black Mask, and goes on to face the Riddler. 

Batman: Streets of Gotham #1-16: A collection of stories showing how Robin and Batman are adjusting to their new roles; the duo doesn’t have a lot of trust yet. Interestingly, these comics show more of how Hush was handled. They are also where Damian’s friend Colin is introduced for the first time. 

Batman and Robin (2009) #4-6: Batman and Robin versus a (somewhat out of character) Red Hood. 

Batman and Robin (2009) #7-9: Dick tries to resurrect Batman. Warning: this arc is extremely out of character for Dick and I hate everything about it. But this isn’t a comic rec list so I’ll include it, ugh. Here’s where you’d read this monstrosity. If you want to skip it, here’s all you’d need to know: 1) Damian went to his mother to heal his spine after Red Hood shot him, and 2) Dick and Damian now have reason to believe Bruce is alive. Bam, now you don’t even have to read it. 

Batman and Robin (2009) #10-12: Damian and Dick uncover clues that reveal that Bruce is alive. Meanwhile, Talia attempts to kill Dick...using her own son to do it. 

Batman (1940) #700: A special event that has sections where Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, and a future Damian Wayne are Batman. A weird comic overall, but the parts with Damian and Dick are really pretty good. 

Batman (1940) #703: Dick and Damian have developed a solid partnership, though Damian is continuing to learn more about being Robin and about his father. The comic acts as a prelude to Bruce Wayne: The Road Home. 

Bruce Wayne: The Road Home: Bruce evaluates how things have been going in his absence, and gives his thoughts on the new dynamic duo. 

Batman and Robin (2009) #13-16: Dick and Damian struggle to deal with Professor Pyg, Joker, and Dr. Hurt. Bruce returns! 

Batman (1940) #704-712: Batman leaves Gotham to Dick while he puts Batman Incorporated into place. Damian, Tim, Azrael, and Selina all make appearances in this stretch of comics. 

Batman and Robin (2009) #17-22: Dick and Damian work together as Batman and Robin to stop Una Nemo, and then White Knight in the following arc. 

Batman and Robin (2009) #23-25: Dick and Damian team up with Jason to save his former sidekick, Scarlet. (Jason’s still acting a bit more extreme than you’d typically expect.) 

Batman: Black Mirror: This is a collection of Detective Comics #871-881. I’d say these are my favorite Dick!Batman stories ever. All the cases are very good (really chilling), and the characterizations are top notch stuff. Lots of Gordon, Barbara, and some Tim also. 

Batman (1940) #713: Damian tells the story of Batman and Robin. Very heartwarming. 

Batman: Gates of Gotham #1-5: A good story, it’s interesting to see how Dick interacts with his siblings (ie Cass, Tim, and Damian) as Batman. 

There’s definitely a bit of hopping back and forth required if you’re going to read it this way lmao. Also, here are some more comics with Dick as Batman that I was too lazy to try to put into the timeline here: 

Superman/Batman #76: Superman’s reaction to Dick taking up the Batman mantle following Bruce’s death. Happens towards the beginning of Dick’s time as Batman. 

Blackest Night: Batman #1-3: Dick, Tim, and Damian deal with an army of Black Lanterns, composed of once-dead friends and enemies. Bruce’s body is stolen, and Dick and Tim have to face their parents’ reanimated corpses. 

Red Robin (2009): Mostly focused on Tim Drake. Dick and Damian appear in minor cameos throughout as well though. It’s interesting to look at Dick and Damian as they are in issue #1, with Damian being really rude and not listening to Dick at all, and then jumping to issue #12 and seeing just how much Damian now follows Dick’s lead and has changed while Tim was away. Idk, it’s just kind of cool. Issues #13-14 also have Tim working with the new dynamic duo as well. 

Batgirl (2009): This one is mostly focused on Stephanie Brown taking up the Batgirl mantle in the wake of Bruce’s death. Dick and Damian first meet Stephanie in issue #5...and they get off to a very rough start with her lmao. The team features heavily in #6-7 also. 

Titans (2008): This series starts off with Dick as Nightwing, but then he leaves the team to become Batman at the end of #10. He appears as Batman in: #15 with Garth, #21 with Starfire (really thought this one was interesting), #23 with Wally and Donna, and #28-30 with Slade. 

Justice League of America (2006) #41-60: Dick’s time on the Justice League with Donna. Likely takes place towards the middle and end of Dick’s time as Batman. 

Hope this is helpful to you! 

thinking about dick grayson again....

it’s about catching people when they fall.

I really hope that the Lazarus Tournament in Robin (2021) is gonna be extra af with a red carpet before the event, interviews with participants, a sassy commentator, a screaming audience and a cute mascot.

i was inspired by this post 

also here’s the full cover art

please enjoy my batman take of the day

Bruises and White-Hot Waves

This is for you, @cute-bi-disaster​ ! I’m your Valentine this year, and I’m so, so happy I was able to repay you for supporting me all this time by writing something you (hopefully) will love! I admit, this time around was a little challenging, but it was worth it to give you a proper Valentine. Hope that, even if you’re spending it alone, you know I’m raising my wine glass and tipping it your way!

Summary: Damian and Jon have obliviously been pining after each other for years, too unsure the other feels the same way to take a leap. Tension comes to a head when a mission leaves them both soaked in sewer water, and there’s only one shower. Jon doesn’t think it’s going to be a problem, Damian isn’t convinced.

Damian is right.

Genuinely curious so rb with your fav Ghibli movie, Disney Princess™️ movie, non Princess Disney movie, and none Disney animated film 👀📝

Reasons to Love Wonder Woman

She doesn’t sit around mooning over a boy. She has important sh!t  to do, yo.

Her love interest, on the other hand, has been known to daydream about her.

And when one of his incarnations tried to act like a chauvinist she was having none of it

Etta, one of Diana’s BFFs, has her priorities straight.

She’s been a woke advocate of civil rights right from the get-go, quite literally before it was cool.

Her caring nature is her strength, not her weakness.

She’s a pacifist at heart, but isn’t a doormat; intolerance, prejudice, and persecution will NOT be tolerated.

And though she doesn’t enjoy doing it, she is completely willing to kill when necessary.

She’s always been anti-war.

Just because she’s a tough BAMF doesn’t mean she has to reject all things traditionally feminine, like liking fashion

She was originally created entirely by women. 

And her hometown is basically an island of lesbian legendary warrior women.

She refuses to conform to societal expectations to spare men’s delicate “masculinity”.

She’s the one doing the rescuing of the romantic interest instead of needing a man to save her.

Her boyfriend is in no way intimidated by her confidence and strength.

…In fact, he thinks it’s pretty hot.

She’s always been an advocate of women finding their inner strength.

She doesn’t tolerate misogyny and chauvinism.

She won’t stand for that “men are stronger than women” nonsense either.

Her use of sarcasm is on point.

Her comics have always been adamant about how women are stronger than they realize.

Diana can’t cook and Steve can. And he’s more than happy to take over the chore (teamwork! :D).

Etta isn’t fat shamed.

She’s faster than Superman

In her New 52 incarnation she can command all soldiers and has telepathy

She’s got super breath

She’s omnilingual

She’s bisexual.

She’s hilariously unaware of just how strong she is.

She once genuinely considered building herself a robot just so it could feed her grapes.

Men aren’t listed among her reasons to live. But cake,  gorillas, and fellow women are.

She’s utterly baffled by the asinine idea that the belief women are equal to men is sexist against men.

She’s so done with men refusing to accept she’s more of a BAMF than her teammates simply because she’s a woman

Other than Steve, her sidekicks all come from minority and/or oppressed groups.

Her battle gear is designed for utility, not sexiness.

Not that what she wears is anyone’s business but her own.

She is stronger & tougher than both Batman and Superman

There was a Damian fan account on twitter that posted a graphic that had all the books the super sons appears in, including the issue of Bendis' Superman where he """"reunited"""" them. I tweeted that issue does count and they immediately blocked me. I still laugh about it

Haha, that's incredibly funny XD. I can definitely say for sure that the fact that they blocked you says more about them.

But in all seriousness, I and @wesavegotham​ were actually talking about this recently. And I actually discussed this @bardicious too awhile back. So I will summarize all our conclusions into this post.

The question that if you still consider the Super Sons, the same dynamic dual they were after Jon was aged up?

All of us had the same conclusion that the answer was obviously no.

Think about it, one factor why Tomasi’s Super Sons worked and was received so well was because Damian was older (obviously this isn’t the only reason).  Damian being older not only benefited the development of Damian but also of Jon’s:

Damian has a darker past (raised by the league since birth), very intelligent for his age, and believe it or not, Damian is, for the most part, really wise. Jon, on the other hand, is more naive, he was new to being a superhero and didn’t yet know of how dark the world could be, and the person mentoring him...was Damian, the person you least expect to mentor anybody.

But Damian was perfect for the job, he also started his superhero career at 10. Although he is young, Damian is absolutely NOT naive. Damian has experienced the worse the world can throw at you. What better person to mentor you?

Damian learned a lot from mentoring and training Jon. Now Damian was not being mentored or watched over, he was mentoring and watching over Jon instead. Working with Jon helped Damian learn how to better work with someone who was difficult to handle as he is.

And it gave Damian the opportunity to be the older sibling for once for someone else that needed an older brother figure in their life like Dick is to him.

On the other hand, Jon being younger and naive isn’t a bad thing. Him being child-like helped Damian finally experience the childhood he was neglected. It helped Damian not take everything too seriously and enjoy life for once. Put a little bit of his trust into someone else besides Dick and gain a new friend who understood living under the burden of a legacy that was so heavy. As Damian was mentoring Jon in the superhero world, Jon was mentoring Damian in their personal world outside of patroling.

Under Damian, Jon was getting development, learning to be his own entity, and not overshadowed by his father. Plus Damian wasn’t gonna let Jon just be all muscle, he was teaching him to be analytical-like and do detective work as well. Under Damian, Jon would learn how to be different from his father.

Now that Jon is older, it disrupts that dynamic. I don’t think even Bendis even knows how he messed this up. And no amount of cats, hugs, or whatever he showed us in his version of Super Sons in Superman issue 16 can fix that.

And even if he ages down Jon down, I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him for leaving Damian alone during one of the darkest times of his life after leaving the league (with Alfred dead) and as @wesavegotham said for even implying that Damian was comparable to a ‘baby Hitler.’ I don’t know if that is even worse than Glass destroying Damian’s development.

It is not only insulting to fans of Damian like myself who have watched Damian grow and develop. But it also is an insult to writers like Tomasi and Gleason who worked so hard to develop Damian in the first place.
