another Damian's parental figure (real)

(20) ☆ that one girl that does not play about Damian Wayne ☆ #1 Damian apologist out there. Dick Grayson got nothing on me

“this is how you age when you’re unproblematic” NO! stop assigning moral weight to attractiveness! I am not hot because I’m a good person! I am hot because all of my friends are gorgeous! I’m absorbing their beauty! Like a vampire! Because I’m evil!

13 years old Damian is such a funny concept to me because people love to criticize the shit out of him and the only thing I can think of is how he was going trough THE collection of family traumas™ at the time.

Fighting your father so much that you have to go off to form your own group of teen heroes? check.

Watching your parental figure die? check (RIP Alfred)

Losing a brother? check (Ric Grayson you will NOT be missed)

Losing your best friend? kind off???? I would pretty much argue that having your 10 years old bestie turn 17 out of nowhere counts tho.

Feeling invisible to others yet extremely pressured into a certain role? JESUS CHRIST, where do I even begin????

he WAS a little shit most of the time. He was also 13 and raw dogging bat puberty like a pro (which at this point means that he went through all that without killing ALMOST anyone or himself) AND then he went on and started to realize he wanted to become a doctor? HOLY FUCK, that's the best outcome you could get out of being a teenager in that family.

What if Gothamites believed that Batman is a vampire that feeds on criminals? and that leads to random thugs and villains putting crucifixes and garlic over their doors and around their houses and safe houses or to straight up hide inside churches. They are also very careful when they see bats or ravens at night, it could be the Batman or one of the bird kids he likes to carry around, but transformed. Random civilians would often leave information about criminals written around the city, weird things they saw or things that appeared on the morning news as an offering to Batman, a way to keep him fed so he doesn't turn crazy and ends up attacking innocent people.

Gotham ends up looking like a lost in time kind of town, which is really fucking scary for other heroes, but also, like, really aesthetically pleasing.

love when the silly 90's comic book you're reading aligns with the current silly global context

Robin (1993) #32

[dictearchive]

A really silly supersons and dickie g comic I made today !

Hopefully I can colour it prettily and it’ll get even better! I’m proud of this one bc I really challenged some of my weaknesses … I drew less detail oriented and quicker than I usually do! I also wanted to try and create more dynamic panelling and flow, obviously it could still be way better, but considering I’m pretty bad at making comics, I’m fairly satisfied !

Love the idea of Bruce having insane knowledge of almost every single sport known to god because of his children.

He used to watch every gymnastics championship because 12 yo Dick Grayson loved to say "I could do that" while watching the competitors and then he would try it (and ace it). Alfred urges Bruce to get Dick to join his school's gymnastics team after dropping the TV an breaking a vase, Dick loves the idea of being on the spotlight again and Bruce becomes DEDICATED to learn everything possible thing about the rules so he could help Dick train for competitions. Bruce is the kind of dad to become really vocal about supporting his kid, that gets him banned, eventually, from a tournament after the judges gave Dick an unfair score and Bruce made very cleare his discontent, Dick can't even get mad, he's too busy laughing his ass off after finding Bruce brooding on the sidewalk.

In an attempt to spend more quality time with Jason out of the costumes he tries to teach him how to play baseball, they both suck, but Jay gets so into the sport that he forces Bruce to watch every game with him, so the man ends up learning the rules along with his kid and they go out to play every weekend. Even now, every once in a while, a ticket to go see the Gotham knights game with Jason would mysteriously appear on Bruce's desk.

Not long after Tim becomes Robin they have to solve the case of a guy who allegedly disappeared when going to skate, Robin asks to see the boy's bedroom and after watching the shoes he just states: "no, these are not the shoes of a skater, I would know, someone's lying to us." He turns to be right and Bruce congratulates him and that is it for a while. Until Jack Drake dies and it gets harder to see Tim go out on the day and it worries Bruce deeply. That somehow leads to Tim going to the garden looking for Alfred and instead finding Bruce falling on his butt after trying to get down of a skateboard in movement, Tim laughs, confused, and Bruce just awkwardly smiles: "wanted to try and learn so we could have something to do other than solving cases". Tim passes the next three hours and a half teaching Bruce basic skateboard skills. It becomes a tradition for Bruce to learn a trick or two from Tim when any of them is too stressed out to function correctly.

Bruce catches Cass watching ballet on TV once and immediately books a ticket to see the next Nutcracker show in Gotham, Selina finds out and starts planning more and more ballet dates with Bruce, asking him to extend her invitation to Cass. When his daughter starts showing interest in practicing it as well, Bruce searches everywhere for the best academy in Gotham and Cass starts receiving leotards and leg warmers every other week soon after that. On the day Cass announces she's now allowed to use pointe shoes Bruce dissappears into his study and comes back with the shoes he had been saving for her since she entered the academy and tells her he is proud. And if Bruce cries the first time Cass gets a solo, well, that's a secret for them to keep.

After watching Damian play football (soccer) for an uncover mission, Bruce urges his son to not leave the team, Damian insists he just played because of the mission and refuses to get into the sport, claiming there's no point in learning something that won't represent a real challenge for him, Bruce decides there and then that he's going to convince Damian one way or another. He starts loudly playing every single Gotham game on the TV and making it everyone's problem, on the fifth week on a row Damian gives up, finally sitting next to his father. It's Gotham vs Star City that night, the first of the season, and Gotham loses BADLY, Bruce thinks that that is it, Damian is going to lose interest, but no, something worse happens... Damian starts supporting Star City. So Bruce rants about it to Dick who laughs at him and tells Barbara, but then Barbara tells Dinah and Dinah tells Ollie and Oliie starts inviting Bruce and Damian to watch the games at his mansion, Damian doesn't really care about watching them with the Queen family, but Clark tells Bruce that it would be rude not to go and so Bruce has to sit there, suffering in silence because holy shit, he did not know Gotham had this kind of losing streak against Star City out of all teams. He watches as Damian celebrates a goal with Emiko and Lian as Ollie AND Roy turn to look at him mockingly and Bruce can just sigh as Dinah (the other Gothamite tough and trough) pats his back, used to it. Hey, at least Damian doesn't leave his high school team and Bruce gets to support him on his matches and send Talia pictures of Damian holding trophies every single tournament.

He watches Tim lose badly against Duke on a game of chess and he gets excited because, FINALLY, something he already knows how to play. He tells Duke to go against him next, ignoring Tim begging him to run while he still can. Duke wins in less than five minutes, leaving Bruce flabbergasted, and just says 'if you want to go toe to toe with Gotham high's chess representative you need to get better, old man'. Bruce brings out the board every two weeks or so, telling Duke that he IS ready now and to not go easy on him, he never wins, but his time does get better, he's sure he'll get there, eventually.

Haven't re-read red robin (2009) in YEARS, but I remember it as one of the best takes on Damian and Tim's dynamic, even now.

The way Tim and Damian get along fairly well until Dami finds out he is on Tim's 'threat list' which causes the kid to be angry because he's been trying so hard to fit in. The way that makes Tim realize that, one, maybe he's not doing so great, mentally, at his solo gig, and two, Damian CARES. I think it makes a good attempt on really evolving their dynamic instead of just pushing the "they hate each other" or "they're brothers and the love each other" dynamic without explanation like most recent comics.

AND I DON'T KNOW how it went down in history only as 'that one comic in which Damian cuts Tim's line'.

I hate people downplaying how smart and capable Stephanie Brown is.

The fact that she was creative and solved clues with ease used to be so important for her. She died after pushing herself beyond her limits to "prove herself" because people kept telling her how unfit she was for the job. One of the main storylines in her run as batgirl (2009) was that once she got comfortable in her own skin, people around her started to realize just how smart and strong she was without her needing to prove it. During rebirth, she was determined to fight heaven, hell and the bats on her own to stop a war that was hurting innocent people on the crossfire.

And now we're stuck with the potential girl of DC whose only character traits perceived by the fans of the 'batfam' is that she eats chocolate, likes purple glitter and giggles a lot.
