Superman, in the middle of a battle: *gets hit by a shard of kryptonite*
Batman: *grabs the shard and hands it to Captain Marvel*
Batman: “Captain! Get rid of this, quickly!”
Captain Marvel: *panics and eats the kryptonite*
Batman:
Captain Marvel:
Superman:
Captain Marvel: “I PANICKED OKAY???”
Superman: “SO YOUR FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO EAT IT???”
Batman: “Please tell me you don’t often eat things to get rid of them…”
Captain Marvel:
Captain Marvel: *turns around and flies back into battle*
I know we're all caught up in the euphoria of Tate Brombal's Batgirl run but I unfortunately have to remind you that at this very moment Tom King is giving us some of the most dogshit Lady Shiva writing ever.
Seriously, what is this? She wouldn't say that. You can tell this man has no respect for her characterisation in The Question (1987).

Incorrect DC quotes part 13
8 year old freshly adopted Dick, throwing the moths and flies he caught on Patrol directly at Bruce's face: I got you dinner!
Bruce, who was just bombarded with insects: Chum?!
Dick, smiling cheerfully: Bats eat insects!
Bruce:
Dick: I just read it in a book
Bruce:
Bruce: Bats also eat fruits and nectar
Dick: So you're a fruity bat?
Bruce:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dick, throwing an apple at him the next day: Dinner!
Bruce:
Y’know that TikTok audio of that guy pointing at different people going “Daddy issues. Daddy issues! Chaos junkie, Mommy issues! MORE daddy issues. Obnoxious ASSHOLE issues. And YOU!… you seem kind of weirdly self-actualized as far as I can tell”?
Yeah, all of those apply to Cassandra Cain depending on which character you ask
Cass is face blind, not like oh she’s bad at remembering faces but in an actual cannot for the life of her know who she’s looking at kinda way. Instead of faces she uses context clues, body language, and voices to tell who she’s interacting with. She’s gotten pretty good at it each of her family members having an obvious tell that it’s them. Some of them include how Dick always has blue incorporated into his outfit. Jason always smells slightly of gun powder and cigarettes. Tim’s posture is so bad Cass can tell it’s him from a mile away. Damian has green eyes, Steph has blonde hair, Babs has red hair. Cass wishes all the boys had different colored hair, as it would simply make her life a lot easier.
The face blindness really doesn’t impare her abilities during patrol cause all of the Gotham rogues and heroes wear such dramatic outfits Cass doesn’t need to see their face to know who they are.
Unfortunately problems often arise when she’s in civilian form,
Cass: *at starbucks*
Dick: oh my god Cass! is that you?
Cass: *confused but polite* hello.
Dick: hey, how’s your day been?
Cass: *is unsure why this random guy is talking to her but once again polite* good.
Dick: *confused on why his sister is acting weird*...that’s good.
Cass: *grabbing her order and attempting to leave.*
Dick: Wait don’t you want a ride back to the manor?
Cass: No. *rushing away and is very uncomfortable.*
Cass: *halfway down the street, realizing she’s heard that voice before, immediately pulling out her phone*
Dick: Hello?
Cass: Starbucks?
Dick: Yea..
——
Jason: *recently dyed his white streak black cause he was feeling insecure about it*
Cass: *stands next to no streak Jason sitting at the batcomputer* Bruce?
Jason: I beg your finest pardon
Cass: Oh, Hi Jason.
Jason: *on his way to bleach his streak back cause never again.*
——
Bruce: *brings Clark to the manor, they’re both in civilian clothing looking identical.*
Cass: No metas, too confusing.
Cass: *staring directly at Bruce thinking it’s Clark* I. Don’t. Like. You.
Bruce: *has not been this heartbroken since Khoa Khan.* Clark, I think it’s best for you to leave
——
Cass: *staring at the blonde person in the kitchen thinking it’s Steph* oh wow your hair..
Bernard: *also face blind.* Tim…You sound different.
having depression makes your friends seem like the coolest most put together people on earth like wow... you got out of bed, had breakfast, went to work, AND spent some time on a hobby when you got home....? that's so impressive you're like superman or something. can i borrow your power.
My headcanon for Cass's voice is that when she's having a normal conversation with you she keeps her sentences short and her voice even, there's a hint of a New Jersey accent and a hint of something else that no one can get right because it's the accent that comes from having body language as your mother tongue.
But if you get her angry. If you make her hiss or scream or really use her vocal chords that spent most of her life never being used... It sounds like the gates of hell have opened and fear itself is coming right out of her throat. The raspy, growling anger, the way her voice breaks and cracks as she screams... Getting Cass angry is one of the most harrowing experiences of your life not just because she can kick your ass but because her rage vocalises like the sound of the harshest of violins played by the devil himself screeching in fury.
She/HerAutistic, queer, and (according to all the unfinished fics in my docs) an aspiring fanfic author!
