she/they/it. main is urisk-factor. ao3 is OneBigKitchenUtensil. blog dedicated to Gotham's second favourite catboy (after Signal) the Arkham Knight. no smut stuff there's enough of that out there. this is entirely for the weirdo AK!Jason is.
Remember that incorrect quotes blog I mentioned earlier? Over on @overheard-on-base Arkham Militia merc Nick Fitzgerald is happy to supply all the weird and wonderful sayings uttered in the militia. He is also open to questions. Go check that out if it interests you or something idk I'm not your boss
I need a willis year one comic because I need to know what that guys deal was. He was in so many situations. Jason inherited his ability to get into situations from him
i like to think that when Dick was freshly nineteen and in the depths of his i’m-independent-and-i-hate-Bruce phase, he stormed out of the manor during an argument and went for a walk around the city to try and calm himself down, just as a civilian. he got halfway through Crime Alley before some short, masked kid managed to catch him unawares and smacked him in the back of the head with a bat, dazing him for long enough that by the time Dick was up again, his wallet was gone and the kid was nowhere to be found. embarrassed that some random untrained kid with a baseball bat managed to successfully rob him, Dick lies his ass off to Bruce about being cornered by ninjas and then shamefully moves on.
six years later, after tentatively reconciling with his thought-dead seventeen year old crime lord brother, Jason gets slightly tipsy while sneaking drinks during a family event and proceeds to drunkenly tell Dick in front of the whole family about how scared he’d been to meet him after Bruce had first taken him in, because he wasn’t sure if Dick would remember him from when he was eleven and beat Dick across the face with a wooden bat so Jason could mug him on the side of the road. Jason is too drunk to understand the bomb he has just dropped and everybody stares at a frozen Dick in silence as he comes to the realisation that Jason was the little fucker that had stolen his wallet all those years ago.
he ends up having to leave the room to calm down. nobody in the family ever lets him forget it.
Head cannon that even though Bruce is against tattoos (because he thinks they make u far too identifiable) the bat brothers have em anyways because why tf would they listen to Bruce, what were u expecting really?
Also I think the tattoos they have are accidently matching. They all have the Robin symbol.
Dick has the Robin R over his heart. Tattooed by Roy sometime after Bruce fired dick. Was it stupid? Yes. Does he regret it? No. He got it originally to keep his parents close to his heart. Then to keep Jason near his heart after Jason died. Then to keep as a reminder that all his brothers were robin. And that they were Dick's Robin's.
Jason got a Robin R tattooed at the pulse point on his neck. It's crudely drawn and fading, but he did it himself whilst in the league of assassins. He likes the dramatic irony of it. He is a literature nerd after all.
Tim has the Robin R on his ankle. It's bold and hard to hide but that was on point. He was drunk. And sad. And had just recently took up the mantle of red Robin when he got it tatooed by Leslie. He got for himself. As a reminder for what robin stood for.
Steph got it on her collar bone. Right under a left over scar she had from black mask. Cass did it for her. It was small and easy to cover up. Steph liked it. She figured it was accurate for her robin anyway.
Duke got the robin R tatooed behind his ear when he led the "we are robin." movement. He was angry and proud and he wanted to show it. It was wonky and done by a teenager in a Gotham alley but he liked it like that. After all robin definitely wasn't perfect.
Damian got it tatooed on his wrist. His is by far the most visible. He's proud. Proud to be apart of the legacy of the robins. (not Batmans, nor the al ghuls, the robins) It was a promise. To himself. To everyone else too, but mainly himself.
Errr also yeah Tim deffo got a sleeve done at some point, Jason has a back tat 100%, dick has one of them cool collarbone ones that look like rope, duke has his parents initials on his forearm, Steph deffo has a black widow quote somewhere on her body and Damian has stars littered on his shoulders.
Okay, so I've been grinding batman arkham Knight and have like 35 hours on it now, finished the game, and am going for 100%. And holy shit I loved the arkham Knight and how he tied in with being Jason Todd, then Red Hood. Anyway, 10/10 game. You should play it
I will never shy away from the word goon. goon is the only way to describe a particular type of henchman, lackey, or thug. look at these guys. they're goons.
unrealistic to me that at no point during Jason's time in the League of Assassins was there a period of Ra's desperately trying to figure out what the fuck brought Jason back to life inside that coffin and that at no point was there a conversation that was like,
Jason, on a medical table for the twelfth experiment that day: how do we even know it was me, though?
Ra's: what do you mean?
Jason, shrugging: like- maybe i was just in a magic coffin. maybe it had nothing to do with me, maybe it was my environment. have you ever read the book 'pet cemetery'?
Ra's:
Ra's: *squints deeply*
Ra's: no. if it was the graveyard then you wouldn't be the only person that came back to life. you're being ridiculous.
Jason: i dunno. maybe it was just that one specific patch of grass.
Ra's:
Ra's: hm.
Bruce finds out Jason came back to life way earlier than planned because halfway through patrol he gets an alert of a disturbance at Gotham Cemetery and when he and Tim get there it's to see Jason and Ra's in the dark with headlamps on next to Jason's now dug-up grave, dirt everywhere as Jason holds a shovel and Ra's holds the corpse of a dead chicken over the hole, ready to lower it, surrounded by league assassins either standing guard or holding notebooks and pens for if something actually happens and Ra's wants to take notes.
Damian is in the car with the window cracked wrapped in Jason's jacket and tiredly playing temple run on Jason's phone while he waits for them to be done so they can go home. when he sees Bruce arrive he sighs loudly and does up the window. Batman and Robin land in the graveyard and everybody freezes like the scene in ratatouille when the humans catch the rats in the kitchen, and it takes Jason two solid weeks to convince Bruce that no, they were not trying to replace his corpse with a chicken, they were doing science-
I love AK Jason, he's my favourite, so obviously I have a playlist for him. It's separate from my regular Jason pkaylist cause they have different vibes. My playlists are based around songs that remind me of the character, usually with lyrics, not based on the music taste I think they'd have.

Women vigilantes and heroes in comics should really be drawn with bulging trapezius muscles like the guys are. Especially the non-meta ones who have to strength train so much. Babs Gordon's tank top straps should be fighting for their life.
