i loveee when hal wears his jacket over the green lantern uniform it's so cutieful and suits him so much and should be the case forever and ever. i DESPISEEE when he wears it as a civilian though… you have other outfits hang up that oldass jacket right now you should've buried it with your father
Yj girlies but theyre in uni. More close ups & some thoughts beneath the cut!
1. I’m not 100% happy with Cassie’s hero outfit, but I do like the gloves. She’s always punching people so i thought it would be fun if she had some armoured gloves. Also i like the goggles she had in her pre tt03 costumes so i brought them back
2. I miss Anita dc please bring her back. Let her go out and be a hero Maad can look after the kids it’s fine.
3. I headcanon that Greta runs cold as a side effect of being a ghost for so long, so she’ll always dress warmly. Another headcanon is that she uses a cane bc when she was a ghost she was always floating & her body isn’t fully used to supporting itself yet now that she’s alive. It was a lot worse right after she was made human again, but now she’s able move around with just a cane for support.
4. Idk what cissies outfit is i just think she’d like to experiment with cutesy stuff
Saw a guy dressed as Jason Todd/Red Hood out trick or treating for Halloween! I told him that was a good choice and he got so excited saying that finally someone got who he was dressed as!!
On how Jason became Robin pre-Crisis versus post-Crisis and how the Robin mantle should be Dick's to pass on, not Bruce's.
I want to talk about how I actually prefer the pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths canon of how Jason became Robin. Don't misunderstand me, I do think him steeling the wheels off the Batmobile is 100% a better backstory for him than circus acrobat like in pre-Crisis canon. I just personally prefer the way he receives the Robin mantle in pre-Crisis.
For one thing, in pre-Crisis, Dick is the one to allow Jason to be Robin. Not Bruce. I think that's an important distinction. In the post-Crisis continuity, Bruce fires Dick and gives Jason the Robin name and costume and only many issues later does Dick give his blessing. While in pre-Crisis, Jason puts on the Robin costume without either of their permission and Bruce chews him out for stealing someone else's identity, then Jason wears a non-Robin costume and tries to think of his own hero name, only for Dick to give his blessing for Jason to be Robin.
This got very long so the rest is under the cut.
Let's take a look:
The first vigilante costume that Jason actually wears isn't even a proper Robin costume though it is still implied to have belonged to Dick. This is in Detective Comics (1937) #526.
He doesn't immediately go for the traditional Robin costume because well, Dick is very much still Robin when this happens. Dick hasn't quit yet. And in this continuity, Dick chooses to not be Robin anymore as opposed to Bruce firing him like in post-Crisis. Then when Jason does actually put on the OG Robin costume in Batman (1940) #366, Bruce is angry with him.
Bruce is upset with Jason for being Robin this first time explicitly because he doesn't have Dick's permission. Bruce is saying that being Robin is an identity that has to be earned and given consent by who the identity originally belonged to. He doesn't outright say that Jason needs Dick's permission to be Robin but it is implied (at least that's how I interpret it).
Jason then goes back to wearing the first costume and not really going by a code-name until Dick shows up.
These panels from Batman (1940) #368 show that Jason had tried to be a hero without being Robin. He had a different costume and was brainstorming different names. He does this because he doesn't want to "steal" Dick's identity as Robin. Jason had already used the Robin costume and name without thinking about how that would make Dick and Bruce feel. He didn't intentionally want to cause harm but Bruce was still upset with him for putting on Dick's costume without permission specifically from Dick. So it's important that now in these panels, Dick willingly gives Jason the Robin costume and lets him use the Robin name.
Jason had even asked Dick earlier to be Robin in The New Teen Titans (1980) #37, which Dick initially refused.
The Robin mantle wasn't something that Dick wanted to give up lightly and I think it's very telling that Jason asks Dick instead of asking Bruce.
But Dick doesn't stay Robin for much longer. Just two issues later in The New Teen Titans (1980) #39, Dick decided he no longer wants it. I think it's important that he makes that decision for himself. The role of Robin isn't forcefully taken from him by Bruce.
Dick wants to grow up and be his own person, outside of the shadow of Bruce and Batman. He loves the Robin mantle and is proud of what he did as Robin but he recognizes that it is something that he has now outgrown. What's so important to me here is that Dick willingly chooses to not be Robin anymore. He has agency in what he wants his identity to be, and later has agency over who gets to take on the Robin identity after him.
It's a bit later during the Judas Contract that he chooses to become Nightwing.
Even a few years later (in real time) in The New Teen Titans (1984) #47 it is still recognized that Dick willingly stopped being Robin and allowed Jason to take the mantle.
Compare all of this to post-Crisis on Infinite Earths. That's when Jason's backstory changes to the one of him stealing tires off the Batmobile, and as stated earlier, I do think this is a much better and more interesting backstory for Jason than the copy-and-paste of Dick's backstory of being a circus acrobat. However, what I don't like is how post-Crisis changes how Dick quit being Robin and became Nightwing. Because he didn't quit being Robin. Bruce fired him.
Bruce fired Dick in Batman(1940) #408 because it's a dangerous line of work and Dick disobeyed orders. I can understand Bruce firing Dick for not following orders but the part about it being too dangerous doesn't hold up when he almost immediately lets Jason be Robin, who is younger and far less experienced than Dick. It just doesn't make sense.
The very next issue in Batman (1940) #409 is when Bruce asks Jason to be Robin. It just feels hypocritical and even illogical of Bruce to fire Dick as Robin because of the dangers it brings, just to make Jason be Robin a few weeks later.
Then in Batman (1940) #410, Bruce gives Jason the Robin costume:
Only later in Batman (1940) #416 does Dick give Jason another, identical Robin costume:
Something about this chain of events just doesn't sit right with me. Bruce fires Dick from being Robin when Robin was Dick's own identity that in some continuities came from a nickname that Mary Grayson used for Dick, then Bruce hired a younger less experienced kid as the new Robin without consulting Dick, only for Dick to eventually give his consent at a later time.
I just feel like Dick giving Jason a Robin costume doesn't hold much weight when Jason is already wearing a Robin costume, you know?
I think it's far more logical and respectful when Dick willing stops being Robin of his own free will and then chooses to let Jason be Robin afterwards. Bruce has little to no say in the decision. Because Robin isn't Bruce's legacy. It's Dick's.
While I do generally like those fanon memes of Dick coming home only to find this random kid in his old Robin costume and being like "Bruce who the fuck is this?" and Bruce being like "Oh that's Jason, he's Robin now," they just won't ever compare to pre-Crisis canon when Dick actually gave his blessing for Jason to be Robin before Bruce did.
