[elizhm]

Lowk realized I never made an introduction post so here we go 🫡

Hi! I’m Liz my pronouns are she/they but I’m chill with whatever

This is primarily a dc blog centered around Dick Grayson or batfam usually

I’m relatively new to comics (about a year and a half now I think?) so please correct me if I’m wrong about something but I do try my best to base my takes and discussion in what I’ve read and what I’ve seen

If you are going to defend or promote: batcest, homophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny, or bigotry of any kind - DNI

On a personal mission to make the tags “there is no angry Robin” and “anti himbo Dick Grayson” more popular

I’m looking to make some friends/mutuals in the dc fandom so interactions/asks are always welcome :)

"Dick only saw Kory as a sex object!!"

literally Dick:

[but-a-humble-goon]

Pffffffft. Okay why are we as a fandon not talking more about the time Nightwing gets a minor injury and Starfire immediately picks him up completely against his will, plonks him down on a roof a mile away for a timeout then leaps back into the fray leaving him there literally shaking his fists in impotent rage like a pouting child.

Must protecc dumb squishy human boyfriend. More heroes should treat the bats this way, that's the funniest shit in the world.

"what's a sun without her moon?"

Dick and Kory weren’t just a couple — they were narratively built for each other. Marv Wolfman and George Pérez crafted them with parallel arcs, emotionally and thematically. Dick, the disciplined human struggling with identity outside Batman’s shadow. Kory, the exiled alien princess learning humanity, freedom, love. They grew together. Their relationship was emotional, spiritual, ideological — not just romantic. They were equals who challenged and bettered each other.

And then editorial got messy.

Enter Babs, whose original purpose was not even romantic, but Batman's girl counterpart and suddenly she’s being wedged into a love triangle like it’s CW drama. Not only that, but they deaged her, rewrote her dynamic with Dick from “older mentor figure” to “quirky same-age love interest.” That’s not evolution, that’s surgery on continuity with no anesthesia.

They butchered Dick’s history with Kory just to make room for a status quo that’s more palatable to a Bat-centric branding. They erased an engagement, deep emotional growth, and cosmic-scale love just to reduce her to a “fling.” That’s not just disrespect to Starfire, that’s disrespect to decades of storytelling.

It’s no coincidence that Dick and Kory’s relationship flourished when they had autonomy outside the Bat office. The Titans gave them space to be messy, raw, radiant. And it’s telling that when creators have the chance to write them freely (like in Titans, DCeased, Injustice, Future State) they gravitate back to DickKory. Because it works.

Happy pride month to Dick Grayson who I have personally decided is demisexual biromantic and genderqueer

And also Tim Drake who’s canonically bi

[iconuk01]

Let's not forget the very lesbian Kate Kane, and the probably-still-bi-but-I'm-not-100%-sure-she-still-is-any-more Selina Kyle.

[elizhm]

jason and tim can be brothers but they can’t be close because that’s super boring. jason has tim saved under “SCAM LIKELY” and tim doesn’t have jason’s number saved at all. beyond the resentment and the history there they just wouldn’t fuck with each other, endless cycle of ragebaiting and ragebaited switching back and forth whenever they have to interact with one another for more than like 20 minutes at a time and honestly that’s being generous. tim’s friends would resent jason for him being violent and awful but at this point tim would just resent him for being ridiculously irritating. BEST CASE SCENARIO would have them in a tom and jerry dynamic but without the underlying feeling of camaraderie and interdependence that tom and jerry share because tim and jason could go the rest of their lives without seeing each other and truly honest to god would not give a shit. this got really insanely long for no reason idk what my problem is today no one cares

Random Italian book cover that reminds me of Dick Grayson

[the-last-starlit-cat]

People saying that Dick is more intuitive than analytical because he draws "random" conclusions that are usually correct...

Rather, his brain works too fast, noticing patterns and behaviors that lead him to draw conclusions, but in a way that makes it difficult for him to consciously explain how he got there.

It's not guessing, it's a quick analysis of patterns that are there, but he has to think about the path he took to get there because others don't see the pattern as easily as he does, so sometimes it's easier to say it's intuition.

Sure, sometimes it IS intuitive, Dick has an incredibly sharp intuition... But a lot of it is also pattern analysis so well-trained that it's almost subconscious at this point.

So.. yes, people, Dick is as analytic as any other bat cuz he's also a detective, one of the best, even if the fandom wants to deny it. 🙃

"Discowing" was unironically Nightwing's best costume. I'm sorry but it's true. It was the only one that has a completely distinct identity of its own based solely in Dick's character and wasn't just trying to be Batman Lite. Dick was an aerialist, so he dresses like an aerialist. He's a performer and a showman, so he dresses like one. Is it silly looking? Yes, because it's a superhero costume. I don't know if you noticed but Batman has pointy ears and wears his underwear on the outside and he looks completely fucking ridiculous. Get onboard or get the hell outta comics.

dickkory could be the cutest sweetest ship if yall weren't hellbent on losing to their oversexualization due to DC propaganda

[human-police-officer]

Okay, I know that I am super biased. But I don’t think it’s a hot take to say that Dick is - by definition- the best Robin. Nobody else could be because he created the mantle. Bruce didn’t put out an ad “looking for partner in crimefighting”, listing required skills and traits some of which Dick had and some of which he hadn’t. Dick had everything needed to be Robin because he shaped what it means to be Robin and what it requires. Everything he was, is part of being a good Robin and everything he was not, is not part of being a good Robin. Because Robin wasn’t created as a job but as Dick’s vigilante persona. So the more someone is like Dick the better they are suited as Robin. Again, I don’t think that’s a hot take. What may be a hot take though is that this means Stephanie Brown is the second best Robin.
