Reading Batgirl (The Cassandra Cain Run) is so weird bc it's such a good series but the early 2000s were not kind to the mainline Batman stories, so I'll be reading it and just vibing and then they mention a tie in to the main continuity of Batman, and I'm like noooo!!! I don't want to be reminded when this was written!!!!

Batgirl by Iris M A

tim drake, robin from 1989 until forever

This isn’t commonly known but one of the rings of hell is actually being in a fandom wherein the popular bloggers have the worst opinions known to man that everyone else parrots

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

spoiler alert!

Tim: *having a breakdown and cloning Kon*

Cassie: Tim no you can't do that cloning him isn't the answer!

Tim: you're r-

Cassie: I'm part of the 'Cult of Conner' we're gonna resurrect him instead.

They all yell at everyone else constantly about respecting their personal boundaries and shit but then they all turn around and track each other’s every move, like “i just wanna make sure you’re safe :(“

Love the idea of the batfam all being equally unhinged like Tim calls dick every two days with “why’d you take the cameras I use to stalk you down :(“ Dick is always placing trackers on everyone, Bruce just fucking shows up and watches his kids go about their daily lives, Jason’s got eyes all over the city to ping him if someone matching his families description pops up, Barbra is always listening and watching like love that shit

When referring to Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian:

Batboys doesn’t work cause that includes Duke

Robins doesn’t work cause that includes Steph

So I propose a new and improved name:

~The Assholes~

It’s straightforward, it’s classy, it rolls off the tongue, it’s in character for all of them
