I also love the idea of like Titans Tower thing happening and Jason still beats Tim up, but instead of Tim being insecure like in a lot of fics he’s just constantly making fun of J being a big theater nerd. Like Jason made a whole Robin outfit to his new measurements, this man either made a tear away version of his Red Hood outfit or he actually just tore off the real one and had to buy a new one. Like you can’t tell me Tim didn’t hang that over his head for ages, probably never stops.

I am aware that this is more similar to canon but I feel like Jason doesn’t get made fun of enough for it and I feel like Tim doesn’t get to bring it up enough either

Also I’m trying to get a good feel for the comic version of DC characters starting with the batfam, so if anyone has like recommendations on specific issues or like runs I should read for each of the characters that would be great

hi! a brief overview (from memory so sorry for any mistakes) of the large strokes of kon tim and stephs pre new 52 comics

for kons comics, reign of the supermen (for his origins, but might as well read the entire death of superman arc cause it's great!) superboy (1994) and young justice (1998) are a good place to start, and then there's teen titans (2003) and infinite crisis (his death). he is revived in final crisis: legion of three worlds. you can branch off from there accordingly.

for tim, you can read a lonely place of dying (his intro!) robin (1991), jokers wild, and cry of the huntress (all about 6 issues if i recall correctly) after that is robin (1993) which is his solo series that went until 2009 so it's pretty long. during that is his team comics, young justice (1998) and teen titans (2003) and after is red robin (2009).

steph appears a lot in robin (1993) but she has her own solo as batgirl (2009). war games (during robin 1993, crosses over into other runs) is probably her most defining arc, and a must read. i can't remember the exact issue for her origins at the moment, but tbh i would recommend reading secret origins 80-page giant (1998) because it lists out kon tim and steph (as well as the rest of yj members) in a very easy to read format imo

anyway there's probably quite a few im forgetting but this list should give you a pretty good idea about each character!

omg TYSMM this made me smile and my day

Question for the comic readers out there: which events/big arcs should I read next?

I want to get as familiar with the big events as possible within DC comics and I’m talking any continuity, not just limited to like post final crisis, rebirth, pre-infinite crisis, etc. mostly to educate myself since I’m so new to DC.

Here’s a list of what I’ve already read:

- Knightfall

- Contagion

- Cataclysm

- No Man’s Land

- Sins of Youth

- Absolute Power

- Infinite Crisis

- Countdown to Infinite Crisis

- Final Crisis (partially)

- Rise of the Batmen

- Hush

I’m 95% that’s all of them. I know there’s a lot of Batman events but that’s mostly because I love Tim Drake. I would really like to branch out of mostly Batman centric events, but if there’s any good ones with Tim, Damian, Duke, Steph, and/or Cass I would love to know!! (Impulse, Troia, and Kyle Rayner Green Lantern are also my personal faves so I’m very happy to read stuff they’re featured in too)

Thank you for all your help!
