Little Robins
[buy prints]
Tim drake age 9 after watching robin do a quadruple flip:
Bruce: Tim?!? Why didn’t you wait for me to pay the ransom??
Tim casually walking into the Wayne Manor after escaping his kidnappers four days ago. With a concussion and a sprained ankle he hitchhiked through four states, created two new alias’s, solved a missing persons case and discovered a new cave system under Gotham along the way.
Tim: Who would pay? My parents are dead? And even if they were alive, Drake Industries doesn’t pay ransoms.
Bruce: I’m??? Your legal guardian??? I pay ransoms?? You’ve seen me pay ransoms for your brothers??
Tim: . . .
Tim: oh.
role swap? age swap?
Very self-indulgent Red Robin art,,
I lowkey find it funny whenever any of the Bats pull off their masks or cowls on random rooftops cause like...now a days there are security cameras everywhere so I just imagine some random night security guard watching the cameras and seeing Bruce Wayne on the roof of the building slowly pulling off Batman's cowl. The guard is just like
Actually, headcanon that various night guards in Gotham have seen Bruce pull off the cowl but they respect him and the work he does so much that they just scrub the footage from the cameras and never tell a soul.
they just really don’t get paid enough to record whatever LARP therapy Bruce Wayne is trying this week
No you don’t understand. If he got caught on a rooftop you’re telling me notable himbo Bruce Wayne wouldn’t lie? He’d take one look at the security guard and go
“oh well my therapist thinks pretending to be the Batman will help me exert some perceived control over my life, because I’ve suffered from an absence of agency ever since my parents were brutally murdered in front of me as a child”
and then the security guard is nodding because hey? that kind of makes sense. But can he do any flips? Like the ones the real Batman does?
Bruce can do one flip. He’s very proud. The security guard claps politely, because, yeah, this kid is definitely fucked up. But he just did a flip!
The security guard asks what kind of therapist prescribed Batman roleplay to deal with his childhood trauma. There’s loud snickering from one rooftop over. Bruce seems to ignore this, so the guard does too.
“My butler is board certified,” he says, and the security guard nods again. That makes sense. He’s heard about all the things butlers do. Rich people really have no concept of the word “overtime.”
Bruce waves him off. Apparently he’s going to keep practicing his flip on another rooftop so he can see the city better.
“I put the cowl on and then I practice my affirmations,” he tells the guard seriously, “I am enough. I am loved. I am vengeance.”
The guard points out that the last one is Batman’s affirmation, actually.
“No, I know that,” Bruce says, then waves, “have a good night!”
The guard’s shift ends a few minutes later, and he goes home and researches LARPing as a form of cognitive behavioral therapy.
Good for Bruce Wayne. Maybe he should try some therapy one of these days.
The guard writes a dramatic fic about Bruce Wayne getting captured by criminals in the cowl and not taking it off (because they might think he’s batman!) and having to survive until Batman comes to rescue him. It kills him that he can’t show the story to anyone because that would be violating Bruce Wayne’s privacy. Bruce probably doesn’t want all of Gotham to know that he larps as Batman.
>>The security guard asks what kind of therapist prescribed Batman roleplay to deal with his childhood trauma.<<
Hugo Strange, Jonathan Crane, Jeremiah Arkham, and Harleen Quinzel have all helped make Bruce the man he is, and he's not too proud to admit it.
Was halfway through this comic when I realised it would be funnier with Steph, who’s punched BOTH her dads
I saw this drawing (out of context) and my brain was lagging a bit so I thought it was Tim outside Jason's window yelling at him and it was a hilarious concept
Redraw!!
AU
• Dick gets sent to an orphanage, but escapes to get REVENGE on Tony Zuko. Bruce doesn't find him ("How could you LOSE a kid??" "You forget to cherish them apparently")
• Dick, Jason and Tim are only 1-2 years apart in this au
• Catherine dies and Jason is left to fend for himself. He eventually steals Batmobile's tires and gets caught by the Bat. Bruce is so distracted by adoption urges that Jason manages to hit him with the tire iron and escape.
• List of kids Bruce wants to find and adopt:
1. That small black haired kid with blue eyes
2. That other small black haired kid with blue eyes
• Tim gets bored being left alone in the house, learns how to hack and realizes DI is into some really shady business on the side. He reports it to the police and in the ensuing legal fight the Drakes lose custody of their child. Tim gets sent to an orphanage until further notice, which never comes
• Bruce Wayne is very concerned about his neighbours's kid. Too bad he can't quite find where they sent him away to
• Eventually Dick Jason and Tim get put in the same orphanage
• All this time Dick continues to sneak out at night to vigilante in his Robin costume. It may not be for revenge anymore but it's the closest thing he has to the life he used to have and he LOVES being Robin
• Jason and Tim catch Dick going out at night and follow him (Jason is very suspicious of their roommate and Tim is still pretty star struck by The Dick Grayson (their first meeting at the circus happens the same as in canon) )
• T&J get ambushed by a group of muggers and Robin jumps in to protect them and the 3 of them beat up people together. Que bonding with team montage music. Then Tim recognises the costume and Dick admits that he is a vigilante (at this point he's still mostly unknown to the public)
• They form a team. For the purposes of extra safety and fucking with everyone, they all take the name Robin and wear matching costumes. Gotham doesn't know what hit it
• It helps that they look similar enough that it confuses the hell out of criminals and Batman alike. Robin gets spotted everywhere and nowhere at once. Dick's knowledge of acrobatics, Jason's secret pathways and hideouts in the city, and Tim's hacking the cameras makes them seemingly disappear at random times. People just started recognising Batman as more furry than mythical demon of the night and suddenly there's another mysterious figure running about
• Bruce FINALLY finds the 3 kids on his mental grocery list and LOOK AT THAT! They are all together!! It's a buy 1 get 2 free sale, Alfred! We can't NOT adopt them all
• So Bruce continues to Batman and, unbeknownst to him, his newly adopted kids continue to Robin
• It takes Tim 1 day after their adoption to figure out Bruce is Batman and they spend the rest of said day freaking out
• They take on the extra challenge of avoiding Batman on patrol like their lives depend on it. Bruce knows Robin (who is possibly more than 1 person) exists, but he can't ever catch a good look. They seem like they stick to the smaller crimes and don't hurt anyone too badly (Tony Zuko's murder is a forgotten case and the Robins are sneaky around the Bat) so he leaves them alone. His kids are more than enough to occupy his attention anyway
Nightwing’s super old friends still call him Rob or Robbie sometimes, leading slow Justice League members to conclude Nightwing’s real name is Robert.
Tim you can't just form ride-or-die teams every time you get a new vigilante alter-ego! Look at them - they are so confused
Who is that? Tim???
rip the bat boys 💀
