Been on motorcycle tiktok… thinking about these two f-ing around on their motorcycles…
—
Duke: There’s a cop
Jason: Just drive away it’s fine
Duke: No s*** I’m already on the other side of the city
—
Bruce: We’re on the same side of the police, even if they’re corrupt we’re all for justice
Duke, a Robin during the Robin War, a motorcyclist, and a black teenager: Uh huh. Of course
—
Dick: There’s a motorcyclist going 200 in Crime Alley
Jason: Damn, that’s me
Dick: Sick, do a wheelie
I drew the bat family
I don't think I will ever stop being bitter about how the fandom treats Duke Thomas.
Either he's a sentient prop, a sounding board for the "main four" batboys or he doesn't exist at all.
Duke is a stubborn, smart, snarky little menace (literally every comic he's a main character in). He's got a life outside the Bats, he was literally part of a city wide Robin movement (We Are Robin), he's got great bonds with Cass and Damian (Outsiders 2019 and Robin War), implied to have solid bonds with Steph and Tim (Detective Comics and Urban Legends), doesn't give a flying fuck about Dick (it's hilarious, see Urban Legends) and roasts Jason all the time for no reason (also hilarious, New Talent Showcase 2017)
Bruce utterly adores him and is constantly talking him up/trying to bond with him (All Star Batman/Cursed Wheel, Outsiders, Batman 2011, Urban Legends and Batman and the Signal)
He's respected by seasoned heroes like Black Lightning and Katana, even antiheroes such as Lady Shiva like him. The man handled a Green Lantern ring, chilled and comforted a semi possessed Gotham Girl, and took on the Riddler as a lil kid.
Duke is complex, funny, strong and overall brilliant, it's crazy to me that people just brush him off as "the normal one."
Duke bcs he’s underrated af
The Robins meeting their future selves:
---
Robin Dick: So we didn’t kill the man that killed our parents?
Nightwing Dick: Ah, Damian was cosmic justice for what I put B through, got it. That makes so much sense.
---
Robin Jason, craning his head back and looking up at his older self: Oh, I became an asshole
Red Hood Jason, mentally: he's so small, how was I ever this small? When did I ever smile like that?
Red Hood Jason, verbally: Watch it twerp
---
Robin Tim: We are as bad as B was, and why are we still even in the cape business??
Red Robin Tim: first off, rude.
---
Robin Steph: So we finally wore B down completely?
Batgirl/Spoiler Steph, with a bat symbol on her chest: Didn't even have to get adopted like the other idiots
---
Robin Damian, disappointed, with sword drawn: We are the blood son of the bat, and heir to the al Ghuls! We shed blood for others, not heal it.
Doctor Damian, equally disappointed: Was I really the angry and tiny? No wonder Timothy didn’t take my murder attempts seriously.
---
Bonus, Duke:
We Are Robin Duke: We really get to work with the Batman? With the Robins? Wear the symbol?
Signal Duke, who has seen the disaster that the Batfamily is, but wants his younger self to have to suffer figuring that out for himself: Yup, we're the first day time vigilante too
You know that trend where people give celebrities old pictures of themselves to sign? Can we get that with the batfam?
Barbara: *eyes glued to the Batcomputer*
Duke: Hey Babs, can you sign this?
Barbara: It's that TikTok trend, isn't it? Whatever.
Barbara: *signs her old yearbook photo*

Dick: Finally, someone who appreciates art.

Steph: *writes her name on a DVD*
Steph: What's this for, anyway?
Duke: *plays the DVD*
Video!Steph: Hi internet! My name is Stephanie Brown AKA Spoiler and this is my very first day as a superhero. I'm starting a new series where I'm gonna defeat my dad and maybe meet that cute new Robin.
Video!Steph: *immediately faceplants*
———————
Duke: I don't have any old pics of you, so I scribbled a shadow on this page.
Cass: Close enough.
Cass: *also scribbles on the page*
———————
Duke: I don't have any pics of you either but I found this.
Duke: *hands Tim a document*
Tim, reading it: "My Parents Sold Me To Bruce Wayne: A Wattpad Saga."
Tim: You know what, I regret nothing.
Tim: *signs it*

Bruce: Um, sure?

[MI6 headquarters, London]
Security guards: *standing around*
Duke, into his comms: Now.
Riko, to the guards: Excuse me, is this Westminster Abbey?
Guard: No, miss, it is not.
Riko: Oh, duh! Dumb tourist moment. Can you help me find it?
Riko: *swipes the guard's badge while he's distracted and hands it to Dax*
Dax: *pushes a cleaning cart into the personnel archive*
Duke: *somersaults out of the cart, grabs a file, and unscrews the ceiling vent*
Dre: *throws a rope down and pulls him up onto the roof*
Dre, pointing to the river: There's our ride.
Izzy: *captaining a speedboat*
Duke: Perfect timing.
[later, back in Gotham]
Alfred, reading the newspaper: There was a heist at MI6. Some masked youths broke into the archives and stole confidential information about their spies.
Duke: Interesting. Anyway, can you sign this?
