i love fictional characters <3

[circesuns]

do you have a preference for donna's hero name/design? 👀

Not exactly, I mean I’ll always have a soft spot for her og troia suit and especially her short hair. I guess I prefer when her black suit has a halter neck instead of the deep v neck.

I really don’t get why dc started to only refer to her as Donna and not Troia. Sometimes it’s like they forget she has a hero name. Referring to her more often than not as Donna instead of Troia while doing the opposite for the characters that surround her doesn’t make sense to me.

Donna’s getting a one shot written by Stephanie Williams !?!

EVERY DAY I DISCOVER NEW THINGS ABOUT TEC 574

(Dick Grayson swears in as Robin in Untold Legend Of The Batman #2 by Len Wein with art by Jim Aparo and Glynis Wein colors // Jason swears in as Robin in Detective Comics 574 by Mike W. Barr with art by Alan Davis and Paul Neary and Adrienne Roy colors)

Something about the only change being Bruce seemingly also swearing in with Jason? Also renewing his vows? His dedication? Making a promise to him? Something about the way bronze age Bruce begins to sway from his values and desired values and therefore needs to renew his own commitment just as Jason starts a new path, one already carved, tried, and true.

Tbh one of the number one things I notice when reading Batman is how Bruce uses knowledge of women's identities to control them in a really distinct way

And how he raises his boys to do the same...

Like obviously when we see the retcons in Batgirl year one, this occurs. With Steph as well... And then in another way with Cass, where she doesn't get a civilian identity? Or when we see him bully Helena out of the mask in no man's land??? And almost every time he has one of his boys at his side assisting him

[sheepishmastectomy]

Like obviously a man so concerned with his own secret identity is going to view identity and knowledge about it as having power & he just does not hesitate to wield it against women in particular as a means of coercion

Wdym you hate Stratt? Without her you don’t get a story

The lengths fandom will go to not to include women is wild to me. It's a small thing I saw this a while ago, but it will not leave my brain, someone saying they don't want to give Jason!Robin and Barbara a relationship/explore it because it's "a retcon". My dude, Jason (as we know him) is a retcon. Jason's entire backstory is a retcon! Jason coming back from the dead is a retcon! If you're a fan on Jason, you're a fan of some retcons, because the boy is retcons all the way down!

That plus there are indications Babs and Jason knew each other even in the 80s stories. It was all offscreen because DC hated Babs and women so she wasn't being given any real stories and interactions with the others as Batgirl. Like "The Last Batgirl story" is actually all about how she's useless and irrelevant because Dick and Jason already are on the scene of crimes before she can even get there (indicating she knew the new Robin even if she wasn't shown directly interacting with him in that story.) Then the Killing Joke happened. The reason Jason and Babs weren't given screentime together is 100% down to misogyny, so why would you want to honor that?

But, yeah, even with all that, there are still significant signs in that era they had a relationship offscreen. She was one of the few people who attended Jason's funeral, and considering she'd just gotten shot in the spine, so recently that wouldn't be surprised if she was still hospitalized at the time, and with how much effort it must have taken to drag herself out to be there while dealing with all that, I would like to think it wasn't just to support Bruce but because she actually knew Jason and cared about him. It makes no sense that they wouldn't have known each other, like I'd think Jason would have at least wanted to give his condolences after the Killing Joke etc, she's a friend of the family and Jason was around for a year at the very very least while she was an active hero in Gotham.

All that plus the earliest retcon giving Jason and Babsgirl a story together was 1989, only a year after Jason died.

(Not to mention there are high chances any Red Hood fan swears by UTRH and that story has him explicitly call Babs a "friend" and include what happened to her as a reason why the Joker shouldn't be alive (valid of him). So I guess if you want to throw out a Jaybin and Babs friendship you have to throw out UTRH too, those are the rules I just made up)

Anyway it's much easier to just say you don't care about Babs or about Jason's relationships with women, just be honest.

You know, we used to be a real nation.

One where men and women could match their cleavage, with equality and freedom for all pecs of all shapes and sizes. What happened to us?
