It's Really Funny That Cass And Steph Patrol As A Pair. Like, Cass? We All Know She Doesn't Need Back

Steph: You ever think about how Cass could be in this very room watching us at any moment and we would never know? Tim: Well I'm thinking about it now. Thanks. Damian: I would know. Cass: No you wouldn't.

Batman: Gotham Knights (2000-2006) #22

My headcanon/ideal version for the future has always been Cass as Batman with her civvie id being trust find baby (and philanthropist ofc) Cassie Wayne and for Steph becoming Batwoman and her civvie job being either a doctor or a nurse (influenced by her looking up to Leslie/Crystal) and I JUST NOW realized that’s literally Thomas and Martha

you're not ascending to godhood you're just dehydrated

i still stand by my opinion that if they bring back babs as batgirl then they absolutely should bring dick back as robin i don't give a fuck. put that grown ass man in his robin suit every time you erase oracle and babs' journey & growth as a character.

And then on the other side of the spectrum it’s just artists finding increasingly unique ways to hide the hands in drawings

nobody warns you that writing makes you obsessed with hands. what are they doing? are they trembling? are they clenched? are they—

But can we talk about how much War Games hurt Bruce Wayne?

Like, seriously. This girl he cared so much for, practically his daughter, who he just wanted to protect died literally in front of him.

Like Steph started a gang war on purpose. And he still felt bad she died because Bruce just loves his kids SO much, even when they do villainous things.

And then he had to see Crystal (she’s Steph’s mom or something idk) blame BRUCE for her dying???!

We were robbed!! We should have had a scene where Crystal apologies to Bruce for blaming him.

And then all along Steph FAKED her death?? Like she put Bruce Wayne through all that pain for literally nothing, she was fine! and she got away with it scott free??

At the VERY least we deserve a hurt /comfort moment where Bruce gets an apology from Steph and all of his kids

Like it’s almost manipulative how she showed up just when Tim couldnt be Robin anymore while Bruce was emotionally really vulnerable and basically threatened and coerced Bruce into making her Robin. It’s really fucked up if you think about it. Steph definitely manipulated him. And then she disobeyed him and cursed him out whenever he tried to set healthy boundaries (firing her).

But he forgave her anyway because he loves his kids so much :(((( He’s a girldad!!!

He stores the fan in the place where his spleen used to be.

I bet wearing spandex in summer is no fun

Bonus: summer suits!?

So like I do agree that Cass is the most fitting successor to the Batman mantle, and in any universe where Bruce retires that it should go to her. But in any universe where Bruce dies? It's Dick. No doubt in my mind.

And that's very much because the "Batman" mantle is about a trauma you don't, can't move past or recover from. And Dick hasn't wanted that mantle because he's put a lot into growing and moving past his trauma.

But if he loses Bruce? Dick is making the grab for that cowl. Time and again THAT is the trauma he can't move past, the wound that won't heal.

Headcanon that whenever somebody in the Marvel Trio says something stupid another Marvel smacks their head and says “get outta there, Mr Mind!” And only other heroes from Fawcett understand it.

It would be such a cute inside joke that confuses every other hero.
