It just blows my mind that this scene...
... happens in the exact same issue as this scene
Batman: The Dark Knight [II] #10
So Bruce is good with kids as long as they aren’t his own???
greek mythology | more cursed images
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
Headcanon that Artemis actually helped Pipers knife when she threw it into Medea’s back
That Asclepius kept Apollo alive for a few more seconds till Medea could save him
That Hephaestus and Hestia helped keep Apollo alive whenever he had to deal with Helios’s fire.
That Hermes helped keep Apollo and Piper from being discovered until after they had found the right shoes
Headcanon that Apollo’s family helped in their own small way to help makesure their brother and family could come home.
there are so many of you……where did you all come from……..

I think if you asked Percy what his favorite animal is he’d be like ‘oh! definitely my buddy jeff! :)’ and then pull out his phone and show you a selfie of him in the fucking midnight zone smiling next to the most terrifying and fucked up deep sea creature that scientists literally haven’t discovered yet
Okay, i know we are talking a lot about Battinson getting Dick, but imagine his characterization past that, when Jason dies. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned inward and got suicidal. This is the Batman that is truly dark and unhinged. Batman would be the only thing keeping Bruce alive, but he is always consumed by grief and regret. This would be a man who lost a child, not a vigilante who lost a sidekick. He would be broken in a way he never could have thought.
You speak with parents who have lost kids and they are never the same. This is a new Batman, a new Bruce. He is ruthless as his hope is now gone. Eventually he mends some of the cracks and learns to live with the grief. He moves forward, but never quite moves on. Then imagine Red Hood showing up.
This Batman would break down at the return of his child. He would never fight him or choose the Joker over Jason. This is a man who would see his tiny child all grown up and feel both immense happiness and elation and again, break in a new way. How could he go on knowing the hurt he caused Jason. This is a man who wants nothing more than to heal and help, who's core personality is based around kindness. How could he not choose love. The love of a father to a son. This Batman would do right by Jason, not by killing the joker, but by beginning to heal himself so he can help Jason feel better. He will strive to fix what was broken. He would becomes Jason's hope. He would choose healing.
This is a man who will break over and over, each in a new and more unimaginable way, yet everytime, he is showing his strength by choosing hope. He chooses to be better. He chooses love.
Batman is absolutely awful at dealing with emotions and feelings. Luckily, Dick is there to pick up the emotional slack and be the support system that all his siblings need!
Robin (1993) #156
Dick was about to head out the door, but drops everything when Tim says he needs to talk (and Tim was struggling with suicidal thoughts in this comic so it is even more important that he has someone to talk to).
Nightwing (1996) #25
And Tim feels comfortable coming to Dick with tough topics.
Batman: Family #7
Even though Dick isn’t as close to Cass at this point, he makes sure that she knows he’s there for her during a tough time.
Birds of Prey (1999) #8
And he is there for Barbara and is understanding when she talks about her need for revenge after the injury that resulted in her being put in a wheelchair.
Batman #33
While all the others are shocked by Damian’s emotional reaction, Dick is reassuring and comforting (indicating to me that this isn’t the first time he’s comforted Damian in this way). Dick is one of the few people who treats Damian like the child he is.
Batman #416
He even offers support to Jason (which may surprise some people), though he initially did not approve of Jason being Robin.
Batman and Nightwing #23
And he does the same thing for Batman. This moment in particular is heartbreaking to me, because Dick completely neglects his own feelings about Damian’s death to support Bruce.
Dick is always encouraging communication and making sure everyone stays connected. He is so important to the Bat family, the glue that keeps them together. He’s just always got everyone’s back. Dick Grayson actual therapist everyone.
daydreaming is often a coping mechanism for people who are often lonely or don’t receive a good amount of love in their life, so they make people inside their heads that will love them so they can feel the right amount of love.
