Bruce Wayne is the rare human who could probably withstand almost all modes of torture (and probably has experienced most) while still being uniquely vulnerable to one form of torture, AKA being forced to witness his kids getting tortured instead. Waterboarding? Sure, that’s a walk in the park. Sitting next to Robin!Dick when he’s getting waterboarded? Instant crash out.

Summary:

"It's funny, Tim thinks, how he never wonders about his soulmate until he's bleeding out under the stars." A story about soulmates, and how finding their way to one another was never going to run smooth.

Like the best arranged marriage fics, this is a story about getting to know the person you're stuck with. But it's also a story about choice. It's warm, and the characters are so GOOD. The slow relationship build feels earned. I don't rec soulmate fic very often, especially when they aren't about the horror of being bonded against your will. And I guess this is about the horror, to a certain extent. But it's also about how love is in the knowing of another, not in attraction, and I adore it!

So there are obviously much more pressing thoughts I have about Barbara Gordon: Breakout and the story it is telling about Barbara, but I’ll hold off on that for a few days to prevent too immediate of spoilers.

Until then, on a goofier note, seeing how Dick is depicted in outside media versus his own comics is always the funniest shit to me omg

Like he’s so cute here. He has been having a weeks-long breakdown in Nightwing. He lays on the floor and self-flaggelates for his perceived failures for a few days and then someone calls him out to help and he’s like “okie :D”

And it’s not like this is some unprecedented mis characterization by BG: Breakout; every series does this. I dunno what to tell you.

If it were just one cameo that did this, the argument could be that the author just doesn’t know what’s happening in Nightwing. But I refuse to believe that at this point. Meaning either:

1) This is an editorial mandate to have Dick adhere to his more well-known persona when popping up elsewhere, and that “well-known persona” is Good Boy McGee.

2) This is some kind of 4D chess commentary on Dick’s ability to act and his martyrdom when it comes to the people he loves, choosing repeatedly to present a facade of fine-ness so as not to worry them, or because he doesn’t think he deserves to be worried over.

Like I see Dick being a goofy goober in these panels with the context of the Nightwing comics and I think

[asinglebluefeline]

Realistically, do I think it's the comics not being coordinated due to lack of communication or long production of separate runs? Yeah.

Does it still work as consistent characterization? Also yeah.

Summary:

‘Why?!’ He commanded, tearing the mask off this lunatic’s face. ‘Tell me. Who told you about this place?’ This graveyard. No one should have known who was buried here. Batman still remembered the day he and Alfred had Jason’s body secretly moved to this spot so no could find it. Defile it. Or, the Social Worker's actions have a domino effect, leading Batman: Hush's ending to go very differently

someone else already recommended the first part of myling so I thought the sequel needed to go up here as well!! i love this one!!! everyone is so in character and sympathetic and the story's really well-written. vfx gives ✨immaculate references✨ to all the victim blaming around Jason. they really know their canon and it's so refreshing. there is no Jason without the bat fam victim blaming him and the writers changing him to fit their prejudices. don't you want to see Jason get mad about it? :^D
