I feel like the thing a lot of people get wrong about Bart Allen is that he’s not stupid, he’s not naïve, he’s just, well, impulsive. Like he’s the kind of guy to leap before he looks, not because he doesn’t know he’s supposed to look or because he doesn’t want to look, but because he gets himself so caught up in the act of leaping that he totally forgets to look entirely. And this isn’t a bad thing! Sure it sometimes gets him into trouble, but acting on his base instincts has saved him a ton of times.
breaking news in my ongoing quest to figure out what Tim Drake’s tastes in media are. I just spotted this poster on the wall of his room:
so as one does, I googled “moxy fruv” and found this
Moxy Früvous got their break in the early ‘90s writing and recording songs for Canadian public radio, but didn’t release an actual album until July 1993. This issue (Robin #1) was published in October 1993. So! Tim either loves this one nerdy band enough to slap a poster on his wall a month after hearing them for the first time
or
Tim Drake listens to Canadian public radio for fun.
Jon: I’m a co parent of a beaver named Kyle Jr and it’s all because of poor golf cart driving skills. I’m pretty sure he has rabies but it’s NOT my fault
Dami: For once
i have exams soon what am i doing
I love love love that parodies of Marvel are the comic books of the dc universe. It's so fun !!!
ironically Jason Todd also happens to be the Robin who looks the most like Bruce
It’s kind of a constant topic of discussion that the Robins look similar, but what I think is really interesting is the effort the artists put into there designs so that they look similar alone, but totally distinguishable when they’re next to each other. (this doesn’t include steph obviously or damian because he was made to look like Bruce and talia)
Dick, for instance, clearly has the straightest hair as well as lighter eyes than Jason, but darker eyes than Tim (that sounds a bit fickle but trust, you’ll understand when you see the two of them). His nose is also very clearly straighter and narrower than the other two.
Jason, on the other hand easily has the curliest hair out of the three and his eyes are the darkest blue. His nose is also the widest of the three.
Finally Tim who has the waviest (i’m not totally sure how to describe his hair) out of the three. His eyes are also very clearly the lightest and he has a much smaller button nose (this is probably due to his age but it’s still a nice distinction)
I think it’s super interesting how they chose to do this because it allows each Robin to feel like a separate character, but the second they put on the costume they all become the same Robin everyone knows and loves. Idk i just think it’s neat
johnny storm 🤝 calling peter parker ugly whenever possible (even though he doesn’t even know what he looks like)
we go way back
this man wouldn’t know what self-care and positive habits were if they tap-danced in front of him wearing nothing but the bat-cowl
Batman: Fortress (2022) #3
Look…. I’m also not a fan of the fanon version of Dick Grayson that’s a useless himbo, but this equally false revisionist version of him you guys are creating is just as bad. Dick Grayson is not the edgy, super serious, angst-machine you guys say he is. If Dick was truly like how some of you describe him, he would have no friends and be completely inseparable from Bruce. Why would Bruce consider Dick better than him and his greatest success if he was just like him? He’s someone who has flaws but is ultimately a very personable, friendly, and kind person. It gets annoying having to constantly hear about how he’s “actually” an asshole who is moments away from killing a person.
DC’s obsession with separating Cass from the Batfamily is so frustrating because I have never seen a father daughter duo more father-daughter-y than Bruce and Cass.
despite the cass cain heavy apperence this is both a dc and a marvel blogcass cain just happens to be the coolest person ever(and the charcter that got me into comics)always happy to talk about all things comic related!!!(though I admittedly know more about DC)
