Jason: *walks into “the jar room” as it has been affectionately named*
Jason, very civilly: Ahem. Fuck. *delicately places 1 dollar bill into the jar™*
Bruce: Jason…
Jason, affronted: What? It’s for a good cause
Obsessed with how shy Bruce was. He was so introverted and awkward. He comes across so confident when he’s in the suit but immediately when he’s out of it he seems like he just wants to sink through the floor when talking with people. Every time he had to make eye contact it looked like it caused him physical pain. Incredible
coworker trying to figure out jesus’ last name said “jesus carpenter….. john carpenter……. sabrina carpenter………” like he was uncovering an ancient lineage.
Young Dick Grayson as Robin asking Bruce for light up shoes for his costume after he saw Wally get a pair.
the fact that jason shared food with other hungry and homeless people when he was catatonic makes me feel so many emotions.
for one, it's so true to his character as a compassionate boy who gets so rightfully angry about the struggles impoverished communities have to continually face due to society's failures. this is the same boy who was homeless for about three years of his childhood, had to steal to survive, probably went long periods without food, and knew firsthand what it's like to actually be lonely. he's the boy who got mad at bruce for even insinuating he would drop jason off with the cops or social workers because he knew their true natures and how they treated poor kids, people, like him.
jason has always been about protecting and defending children and the defenceless to the point of disregarding moralities. we see this in his 80s robin run, as well as in utrh and lost days. his unmoving stance on their well-being is what's so captivating about him. he kills to protect children and easily agreed with/excused a woman who killed a rapist when he himself was only around 12-15 yrs old. sure, a bunch of people would agree with jason's reaction but it's especially important because he's a kid who grew up poor. he witnessed firsthand how many women have to suffer sexually at the hands of men to get by.
this is the real jason todd that so many comic writers now fail to capture in their comics. they completely turn him around and have him do things that in no way make sense to his character (not surprising since some literally admitted to hating him/not knowing enough about his robin run). jason todd is insanely compassionate-- that's his thing. he's empathetic to a fault. why erase that core part of his character?
Can you imagine Damian going through his puberty voice change while trying to intimidate villains?
Damian, in his new Manly Voice: Surrender or suffer.
Condiment King: Never! *sprays soy sauce at Bruce*
Damian: You coward. You fiend. How d—*voice crack, suddenly sounds like Minnie Mouse* —dArE yOU—
Condiment King:
Damian:
Bruce:
Tim: LOL
Condiment King, overcome with secondhand embarrassment: You know what, I’m gonna head home
[A slow patrol. The Batkids have taken to chatting on the comms.]
Steph: ‘They’ll never find the body’ is a boring threat. ‘They’ll never stop finding the body’, now that’s interesting.
Jason, already imagining a set of coordinated duffle bags with labels for different anatomical sections: They’ll be left a piece of you every day for at least three months.
Damian: And you’ll be alive for at least two of them.
Bruce: Stop -
this speaking as a cis person. Nothing brings me more joy seeing people find gender euphoria in becoming a mediocre representation of humanity. And I mean that so genuinely. Local boy finds joy and fulfillment wearing a cargo shorts and t-shirt combo. Local girl has transitioned to look like someone's disheveled aunt, has never been happier. Local person experiences gender euphoria rocking the world's worst bowl-cut. Without a scap of irony, this shit makes me see the wonder and whimsy in just, being a human. An average, person going through their day-to-day, is a wondrous thing? That's amazing. And heteronormativity has stripped these experiences of their joy. Like you're right, wearing a basic girlypop skirt should make my heart sing. Why not? Why are these expressions lesser because they're normal? All this to say. Shoutout to all the basic bitches out there. Yes that polo shirt does make you look like a divorced golfer dad. Yes, that too is kind of a slay, now that I think of it.
Reading lists nobody asked for but I made anyway, enjoy
i live for batdad and superdad going out with dick as if its their child
Superburgers are better
