Summary: Batman and Robin go to the circus. Robin doesn’t care for the trip but goes anyway. Tragedy strikes, a young couple is dead, while Robin might gain a new brother.
So like, can we appreciate the different animated Tv shows interpretations of Dick?
OG animated series: He’s just a funny sweet goofy gaffy guy, ain’t he cute! Aww look at that face! until… oh… oh no… turns out murder was an option.
Teen Titans: Serious leader, will fuck you up, yet kinda dorky at times who keeps getting compared to Slade for some reason yet very much just acts like Bruce and is blind as hell. Also ✨TRAUMA✨:D
2004: You like your bones? :3 Oh you do? Thanks, I needed to know what to take first… *melts into the shadows* hehehehehe >:)
Young Justice: I make it my personal mission to be a menace and a manic with a smile and radiate annoying little brother energy to EVERYONE
I love how absolutely UNHINGED this man is, but it’s fascinating seeing every interpretation leans more into one of his traits more then the others depending on whose writing. But the murder always stays.
Honorable mention:
The animated movies: So I was here too. Okay byeeee~!
Edit: I completely forgot about young justice because I haven’t really watched it yet
@alanamurry @fandomz-are-choatic @insanityplushtrap (I don’t know how to at white board’s creator) (not gonna lie white board scares me) sooo hello this was gonna have Harley and Timothy in it but thinking it over I didn’t like that script so you got this don’t ask me why they let the (gets lost every other minute) moron lead the way
So as someone with glasses with VERY poor eyesight I actually want to know if this is acknowledged in the older comics, Barbara’s eyesight. Babs is honestly a badass already but I want to know if the comics acknowledge her eyesight, at first I thought her glasses were like computer or reading glasses then I remembered Barbara never really takes them off unless she’s Batgirl.
If someone like me with a lazy eye and horrible astigmatism, you know you basically kinda are flying blind without your glasses. Honestly it’s not as bad as some shows make it out to be but it’s still hard to see. I also assumed if she has bad eyesight maybe she was wearing contacts but that would mean she could never let anyone punch her in the face because they’d get in her eyes.
In like shows like the 2004 series Babs has the white out lenses like Dick and Bruce so I assume she has lenses in her mask. But in the comics the batgirl suit doesn’t have that so I can only guess she’s not wearing anything.
If that’s the case Babs has become like 10x cooler for me and kinda a missed opportunity to see her struggles with poor eyesight on top of her legs.
Idk if anyone really cares just me as someone who struggles without my glasses thinks it’s really cool. Just because you have glasses doesn’t mean you’re magically fixed but your not helpless ether, and I love it when stories acknowledge it.
That moment when you realize Bruce Wayne’s canon “favorites” aren’t his favorites… their his ideal selfs.
Bruce isn’t a ‘girl dad’ or ‘loves Dick because he’s his eldest’ no. That’s not it. He likes Cassandra because she’s has his exact moral code with little to no differences, she follows it to a tee. He likes Dick because Dick is his perfect version, his ‘success’ the best version of his exact situation. He loves them sure, but he doesn’t favor them because of love. It’s to further his own ego.
This is proved with Jay, to take care of Jay he had to push his own feelings onto Jay. To ‘fix’ him. Jay didn’t need ‘fixing’ or an outlet, he needed compassion, GENUINE compassion. Not self imposed compassion or understanding by grafting his experiences over Jason’s and making it more about himself then Jay.
He needs to keep making others ‘better’, that’s why he keeps Jay around. But shuns him too. Bruce needs to fix Jay, but Jay is imperfect, a stain on his legacy. So he can’t.
If you think about it from this perspective, Gotham War starts to actually sound completely in character. He succeeded, he ‘fixed’ Jay in his mind.
Same with Damian, not exactly, but close. He just couldn’t be the one to ‘fix’ him. Yeah he values Damian because he’s his son, but paying attention to him regularly? Nope. Damian’s been ‘fixed’.
Tim doesn’t need to be fixed, he fixed Bruce so Bruce ignores him. Any attempt at fixing would be met with a wall.
As for Stephanie he couldn’t twist her story to fit his narrative, so he just completely rejects her. 
Cass and Dick are his legacy. They were ‘fixed’. That’s why he values them.
Some food for thought, I personally don’t like this, I like good dad Bruce Wayne that values all his kids equally and tries to reach out to Jay because he genuinely wants to help his son but won’t put Gotham in danger because of himself. He pays attention to Damian, praises Tim, wants the best for Steph even if she isn’t his daughter.
But, when you think of the wider scale of Bruce’s actions in the comics (without thinking of the hand of the author) this pattern is a thing. I REALLY want to be wrong.
PLEASE COMICS LET BRUCE BE A OKAY DAD! NOT EVEN GOOD JUST OKAY IS FINE! JUST LET HIM LOVE HIS KIDS EQUALLY AND WITHOUT ANY STRINGS ATTACHED!
Cyth: DANG IT WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO EXPLAN??!!!!
you notice we have a lot of arsonists in our group? yes two BUT TWO IS WAYY TWO MUCH! I should do that picture soon but this came to my head and I couldn’t help it @moth-from-hell @ebsolutelyweird @insanityplushtrap @tabtabtabtabtabisveryfuckinglost @fandomz-are-choatic @thecryptidcat @crowfry
Tumblr’s reminder, PLEASE STOP SAYING TERRY IS A CLONE HES AN ATTEMPTED BIOLOGICAL CLONE BY TRYING TO GET THE EXACT VARIABLES THAT MADE BATMAN HAPPEN, WHICH FAILED, HE ISNT A LITERAL CLONE OF BRUCE. WALLER LITERALLY SAYS HE ISNT, TERRY IS JUST BEING A DRAMA QUEEN TO WHICH WALLER SHUTS HIM DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES.
OH AND HE HAS A BIOLOGICAL BROTHER THAT IS EXACTLY LIKE HIM! NO. HE WASNT BORN IN A LAB, HE HAS A FATHER AND MOTHER! PLUS THE ONLY REASON HES RELATED TO TERRY IS BECAUSE TERRYS DADS DNA WAS ESSENTIALLY TURNED INTO BRUCES.
This is like saying Damian is a clone of Bruce because someone raised him with two parents kinda like Martha and Thomas therefore he’s his clone.
Please justice for Matt just existing and Terry being Bruce’s son.
Also Wallers plan sucked in the first place due to the fact she was trying to make a second Bruce but failed at the first step, BRUCE IS A BILLIONAIRE TERRY ISN’T, HE DOESN’T HAVE ANYONE LIKE ALFRED PLUS HE HAS A LITTLE BROTHER.
She was likely to get “yeah I have other responsibilities, mainly the fact I’m taking care of a kid” and “I am vengeance” Jason Todd style rather then Bruce.
Thank for coming to my “justice for Terry” Tedd talk.
PLEASE if someone writes this make Jason and Dick start fighting over whose Robin while everyone is collectively confused I will LIVE for it.
I want a fic or something about the Batfamily where Jason and Dick de-aged back to their Robin days by like a wizard or some shit, then Damian and Tim have to look after them... except they mix them up.
There's two little boys with black hair and blue eyes, wearing the same pants-less costume, and both answering to the name of Robin, but one is all wide eyes and wide smile and one has a murderous anger in his gaze and demeanor, so they make assumptions that *obviously* the murder-y one is Jason and the happy little boy is Dick.
Then they get back to the Batcave and Bruce automatically knows which one is which and calls them by the right names. I just think it'd be a total mind-fuck for Tim and especially Damian.
Based off this post. funny doodles i took too seriously.
just me or Tipyu and who I like to matchstick would cause a lot of forest fires just me? anyway so art of our kinda new recruits sorry for this being late @tabtabtabtabtabisveryfuckinglost and @ebsolutelyweird I’m gonna do mini, Xiao and 404s drawing later @crowfry @moth-from-hell side note: yeahhhh Cyth is not the best role model
Dear mutuals and followers, sorry for the politics in your dashboard but in some homes today we cannot afford to "ignore the problems".
The country where I come from, Venezuela, has had an election for president that has resulted in fraud. Mr. Nicolás Maduro has proclaimed himself President although the votes have said the opposite. This regime has devastated the lives of its citizens, resorting to violence against those who opposed it. It has brought ruin to a nation once celebrated as a pioneer of Latin American independence, yet many choose to overlook its plight. Venezuela, a country that once extended support to immigrants and provided aid to others, is now dismissed as insignificant by many.
If you are an advocate who values the dignity and needs of individuals, we urge you to raise your voice alongside us. Don't ignore us because we are Latinos, this is also a war. It is a conflict against an individual who has controlled his armed forces, law enforcement, narcotics syndicates, and citizens, rendering any attempts at reform futile despite our vocal protests. I have family members who are unable to depart through legal means, and if they choose to leave unlawfully, they face harsh judgment from people of the outside.
