Reporter: Red Robin, you've been spotted with Tim Drake, ward of Bruce Wayne. Are you guys friends?

Red Robin: That guy is a fool. Fuck that guy, fucking coward.

[Later, watching the interview in Wayne Manor]

Tim: Say that to my fucking face, you fucking loser.

Bruce: wha-

Batfamily the Animated Series

I need y’all to rally, letters, petitions, tweets, anything we can do to get them to listen

I’m sorry but I really don’t need another Bruce Wayne Batman origin story, tbh Batman is my least favorite part of Batman comics

No, I wanna see big brother Dick Grayson making terrible puns and being the lovable, inhumanly flexible sex symbol who used to run around in scaly green underpants.

I want Jason Todd being an over dramatic drama Queen prone to making uncomfortable jokes about his own death

I need badass Timmy Drake solo taking down the league of assassins after hella causally loosing his spleen

Everything about Stephanie Brown, actually Steph could and should narrate the hell out of the show

Luke Fox hiding his superheroing from his dad and nerding the hell out with Tim and Babs

Barbara Gordon need I even say more

A lady shiva ark for Cassandra Cain’s backstory and like a montage of Cass whooping everyone’s asses

Damien learning how to be a real boy

Duke watching all of them and going wtf

Bruce’s C+ parenting

Alfred the sass master/actual batfam boss

We can do it guys!!!!

I believe in us, if Batman V Superman exists then this certainly should

I know we as a fandom don’t talk enough about the Batkids acknowledging how old Bruce is getting, but something I think we talk about EVEN LESS is the Batkids acknowledging Dick getting older.

Like Dick is pushing 30 in canon at this point, and realistically cannot do the same things he was doing as a kid. There is a reason a lot of athletes retire young, and Dick’s life has been brutal on his body, so eventually it’ll catch up with him.

Imagine if you will some random new JL/Titans recruit meeting Nightwing and asking “Is it true you can do a quadruple somersault?”

And Dick has to wince and say “I used to, but not anymore.”

Imagine the Batkids hearing that? Imagine everyone who saw him grow up hearing Dick acknowledge he is getting older and can’t do the same things he did in his youth. Imagine how they feel about their own age. Imagine the grief Dick must feel at knowing he’s losing the gifts his parents bestowed upon him, and the fact he’s out-aged them both.

Imagine Bruce painfully acknowledge (in his head because it’s illegal for him to emote aloud) that not only is he getting older, but his first child, his SON, is now the same age he was when Bruce took Dick in.

Imagine Dick picking the smaller option out on ice cream trips because his body can’t handle sugar the way it used to, or eating less in general because his metabolism has slowed down.

Imagine the Batkids sparring and Dick has to tap out because he can’t keep up with them all for as long anymore. Like he can’t keep still do a lot, and handle himself in a fight, but he is not showing off with flips the same way he used to.

Imagine the day one of the Batkids spots gray hair on Dick’s head, or realize that the lines on his face are just a little deeper than they used to be?

Babs keeps calling him the Boy Wonder as a private joke, but the boyish charm that Dick once had has since faded. He’s a grown man, and while at heart he still is the kid that brought light back to Gotham, his outside reflects the life they’ve lived and shared together, which didn’t just pass by in the blink of an eye.

And Jason pretends he doesn’t care, but realizes that Dick isn’t the same 16-year old kid that Bruce put on a pedestal. That he, out of all their siblings, saw Dick the most when he was in his prime, and that his older brother is just a little more fragile than he used to be.

And Tim thinks back to the days of him stalking Batman and Robin before, pulling out those old photos and realizing just how much Dick has aged. When did that happen, he wonders, and how much more will Dick change as he gets older?

Cass, Steph, and Duke acknowledge that Dick Grayson grew up, and left behind a legacy for them to fill, but they’ll always wonder what he was like when he was younger, and wonder how much longer he’ll be around. Bruce has been doing this vigilante schtick for 20+ years, but will Dick still be doing this when he’s Bruce’s age?

Damian takes it the hardest. He can’t look at Dick without thinking of him as the same Grayson who was his Batman, but the truth is, he’s not the same. His old portraits of Dick bear witness to that, with each one just a little different because time is not frozen to Dick the way it is with Ra’s and Talia. Damian privately grieves everyone he comes to care about in advance because death has surrounded him his whole life and eventually despite Dick’s promises that he’ll always be there for Damian, a day is coming when that promise will be broken.

But yeah. Older Dick Grayson. I have thoughts on this.

(Anyways don’t mind me. Just coming to terms with being the same age canonically as my childhood hero.)

i love looking at Erik’s face after he yelled at Charles here

like man regretted doing that immediately 😭🤚i think he wanted Charles to fight back but he was just left standing there like this: 🧍‍♂️

and Charles’ face in the first one 😿 he has had enough of Erik’s bullshit i’m crying

Logan during all of that: 🤨

[geekey]

Tim: Bruce, I’m gay

Bruce: oh

Tim: oh?

Bruce: I mean you being gay sort of ruins the entire edgy thing the batfamily has going on

Tim: what?

Bruce: because you’re gay.. you’re happy..??

Tim: when Dick uses the term gay he means something different than me

Dick, poking head into room: no we mean the same thing, I just didn’t want to explain it to him

Tim: no Bruce, I’m bisexual, I’m into men and woman

Bruce: oh, congrats? Me too?

Tim: WHAT?!

Dick: Superman was my co parent at one point I definitely saw them kiss

Tim: again, WHAT?!

[geekey]

I'm thinking of Damian freaking out a little about how many volunteer hours he's gonna need to apply to med school, before realizing just how much time he has in a day, as an incredibly capable and logical planner and thinker, if he's not running around rooftops at all hours and recovering from injuries.

It terrifies Bruce, a little, that the first time Batman and Robin pull up to a mauling victim, Robin is acutely calm.

The girl is young, and Batman and Robin were made known to the scene pretty quickly as Batman scares off the dog with a taser.

Despite being the adult, he balks a little at how well Dick handles the toddler in front of him.

Later on, when the girl is seen by paramedics and the mother is finally calmed after being assured that the only physical damage present would be some scarring on her left leg, Bruce takes Dick out for ice cream for being so brave.

Then again, Dick was the one to threaten death upon his parents' murder at the ripe age of 9.

But the incident is filed away, deep in the archives of the BatComputer.

Dick is much older, and has seen much more, but he's still calm when one of his brothers is half-torn apart by a shark on an impulsive surfing trip with their hero friends.

Everyone is panicking because as much as they'd loathe to admit, seeing something that gory is so completely different than being in costume (because being in costume means they're at the very least prepared).

But Dick is calm, and his first aid more immaculate than ever.

When someone asks him about it, how he can stay so calm, he's suddenly 7 again.

He's 7 again and watching his Uncle-not-really-uncle getting mauled by one of the sick tigers. He's watching as his father rushes to help and calms the crowd down.

When he asks his father why he was not scared, he receives this.

"I was terrified for my friend, but panic makes your hands shake, makes you slow. He did not need my fear, he needed me."

Dick tells them that.

thought about what a robin to the absolute!batman would look like. conclusion: small

THE father and son duo

[geekey]

I remember when the very first teaser trailer for HTTYD2 came out in 2013 and almost everyone on the internet collectively Lost Their MINDS over Hiccup's glow up, lmao, good times 👍

🌻 comm for gee! thank you 💖

Cass: *hands Jason a Lego person* here. I made you. Jason: *confused, because there are no Lego sets with Red Hood* what— *sees the Lego person, which has been cobbled together by combining a Deadpool head with a leather jacket, two guns and jeans* Cass: you do not like it? Jason: *sobbing* it’s the best thing I’ve ever been given oh my gosh

Dude, I've watched this show at least three times so far, and I honestly have to say that all 3 times I hated Juliet and Adalind so much. I know Nick screwed up with Juliet, but they also didn't have the best chemistry, like, they'd been together for over 3 years and never got married, and Juliet (apparently) didn't want that marriage either.

Criticize me, but Juliet, despite everything, didn't shine much when she became a hexebiste.

Adalind and Nick were basically an ENEMIE to lovers, and honestly, once again, Adalind lost her shine when she became a wife and lost her role as a "villain". Man, this woman had a lot more potential before getting pregnant, but I won't deny that I liked her pregnancy arc and I honestly rooted for her relationship with Sean Renard, like, I know they wouldn't be the best and healthiest example of a couple, but they would still be more interesting and developed than Adalind and Nick.

In my humble opinion, Nick should have gotten involved with Rosalie and Monroe, in a threesome, like, they're funny, affectionate, loyal, they would fight together, they're absolutely cute, THERE'S A HUGE POTENTIAL HERE, plus the development would have helped so much, I'm not even kidding, there's more chemistry and development in this threesome than with the two romantic partners Nick had in the entire series, and I know Nick had cute moments with both of his romantic partners.

I also wanted to take the opportunity to point out that at the beginning of Grimm, Nick wasn't exactly the example of a good boyfriend, but Juliet wasn't a good girlfriend either later on, I just feel a certain pity and compassion for her character at certain times, she would have been happier if she had dumped Nick earlier, and he would also have been happier if he had followed Aunt Marie's advice, that old lady was right.

[geekey]

“it’s not canon” you think i CARE? brother i’m watching a show abt a cop who never tells his girlfriend where he is because he’s spending time with a man who is teaching him abt his grimm powers bc his aunt is too dead to do it.THOSE MEN ARE HOMOSEXUAL

[geekey]

Monroe: so you're telling me you can't die?

Nick: no, I'm telling you I can't stay dead. There's a difference.

[geekey]

There really is no feeling quite like discovering a new song that fits your blorbo to a T. Best I can do to convey it is something like
