I always end up in this weird place because I like fannon but half of the relationships, fandom is confident about in the batfamily are nonexistent in the comics.
So I get asks that are really hard to answer because that is literally coming from nowhere so I am not familiar with exactly what you’re talking about?
*Not necessarily a bad thing I love researching random shit.
Which is why I think all of the times when I’m kind of blunt about favoritism or random hypotheticals they come off as really assholey. But it’s just because in the comics those two people have never interacted so why are we gonna kill Jason for them?
That is always the thought process that happens whenever I run into the polls about saving someone over the other or who do you think is this person’s favorite?
The answer is not hard or complicated if you’ve read the comics. If you haven’t and you’re only familiar with fannon that’s when your answer is not cut and dry.
In general, a lot of the Wayne’s are also not always the best people. I’m a firm believer in the narrative of the heroes who are trying to better the world. But they also can be kind of fucking assholes.
Dick is not hugging every single vigilante in Gotham and throwing them a goddamn parade every time they save someone.
He is an extremely capable, badass vigilante with anger issues who unless you are really important to him does not typically have the time of day to care about your emotional stability.
Yes, he’s going to save civilians, he will talk you down from jumping off a bridge. That doesn’t mean he’s going to braid your hair and have a sleepover.
That is the cusp of my issue, sometimes having to answer questions about Batfamily randomness. It’s always Dick, too.
Since in fandom he is this lovable octopus.
But in the comics, unless you’re literally one of the most important people in his life he’s not actually all that nice.
Even if he does care about you in the comics, he’s still a fucking asshole. If you go through his comics and actually look at the random shit he is saying it is extremely fucked up sometimes. The only person I do not have a moment in memory of him saying something that I think is literally a War Crime to is maybe Tim. I’m not even sure because he lives up to his name. Damain he’s also pretty nice, but also has made some not nice comments.
Jason, he has an on-site order for all the time. Bruce he has ripped him a new asshole, then tried to kick his ass and like a week later showed up for patrol again.
Dick Grayson 100% is loving, kind, protective, handing out nicknames, doting but he is only like that constantly to maybe three people. Donna Troy, Tim Drake…..Wally…maybe? Keyword constantly! For people like Starfire, Babs, Damian, Roy, Bruce. He has very sweet moments and is overall nice but if you give him 10 minutes, he’s going to say something really fucked up. Jason gets an honorable mention because he was nice sometimes when he was younger…
Dick Grayson is also a lying, manipulative, cruel asshole.
Especially when he’s stressed or angry.
Even Donna, who I cannot think of a moment of him being really mean to her, I’m sure has said something fucked up. That is his Wonder Twin half of his soul.
He threatened to remove the elevator. He literally threw over his shoulder to Barbara Gordon that he would take away her way of leaving.
Dick Grayson is Sunshine; He can be very warm, but also will burn your fucking skin and give you cancer.
