Random Goon: Hey Boss, Were You The One To Pick That Name As An Alias? And Why This One?

DC: Damian Wayne is 4′6″

Me, pulling my headphones out: sorry did you say he was three foot nothing. cool

Damian arriving at Alfred's grave with his vial of Lazarus resin only to find Jason already there with a shovel and his own vial of Lazarus resin

Bruce is going about his business one day when he realizes Tim has gone missing. Nothing suspicious has happened, so he consults the others to see where he might have gone.

I’ve been reading 1940s Batman and Detective Comics which makes panels like these

So funny, because for awhile 8 year old Dick Grayson was driving more frequently than Bruce.

Bruce even bought Dick a mini Batplane for his 8th birthday.

I just love the idea that instead of a difference in time and social norms it was young freshly Batman Bruce not having a single idea how to parent vs old father of 5-10 kids Bruce finally having figured it out.

i refuse to defend my favorite characters. They did that horrible thing bc they suck really bad

Bruce to Damian: If you see any of your siblings doing something that appears reckless, such as jumping off of a cliff, don't hesitate in following them, they've definitely accounted for every possible variable.

Bruce: Except for Tim. If you see Tim anywhere near a cliff, tranquilize him immediately.

Jason Todd adoring strong women who share a name with the greek/roman goddess of hunt (Artemis/Diana).

so do you think that if jay was in ancient greece (i’d add roman empire as well, but greek mythology should stay greek, wtf), he’d be patronized by artemis? he obviously would worship her, there’s no question to that.

considering that she was a goddess of, besides hunt, transition, and care of children, all of which fit jason perfectly. especially considering how much she cares for women and children, which is precisely jason’s priority. and to top it off, it would be pretty much in line with greek mythology “tropes”: a strong goddess patronizes a man who does what she values, and artemis’ values were quite unusual for ancient greece. just like imagine her being utterly shocked that a man, respects???? and protects????? women?????? and then she oversteps her fair prejudices, and gives him her blessing.

and aND AND

HEAR ME OUT!!!!

dick getting blessing from apollo. because, first of all, and let’s be so honest here, his name. already enough of an argument i fear. but also beauty, and youth, and the performance 🤌🤌🤌 moreover, i feel like apollo would find it so fun to patronize a brother of his sister’s protege who also happens to be interesting enough to follow and observe. and the sibling drama there - peak, so fun to watch.

i can also see artemis being constantly unpleased with the way jason’s family situation unfolds, emphasizing with him, while apollo is having fun.

extra point if both twins decided to patronize batboys because of how tough for them their mothers’ deaths were.

after initially creating all of these for jason, i got a consultation from the dick-grayson-sage @gaywineauntsstuff who mentioned donna, and i hate to say it but…

DONNA FITS THE ARTEMIS THING SO MUCH, I NEED IT RN, AND ALL OF THESE BUT ARTEMIS PATRONIZING DONNA AND APOLLO PATRONIZING DICK - PEAK SIBLINGISM. I NEED IT RIGHT THIS MOMENT IN FRONT OF ME. SHE’D BE SUCH A BADASS PATRONIZED BY A BADASS, THEY’D BE UNSTOPPABLE.

jason version, don’t get me wrong, i still love you, but i also love donna troy, and i respect artemis’ overall decision to not get involved with men 🙏 plus jay already has his own artemis at home

wtf

im being so serious when i ask this, but, how has dick's characterization become so opposing to his actual character? like how in the world did this pervasive and frankly invasive depiction of him become so popular? where in the world did people get these scraps of personality that they've frankensteined together to create this fucking weirdo that shakes his ass for criminals and is the biggest attention seeker? for decades we have had pretty consistent source material that continually establishes that dick is quite serious and a leader, and also someone that cares deeply for people and has the skill set and willpower to do literally anything for them. how has this fanon characterization that's quickly becoming canon happened to him?
