As someone without an oven but who is in possession of a microwave with a convection setting, lately I’ve really been enjoying a game I like to call cookie or bomb, where I put cookie dough in the microwave on a plate that might not be meant for oven temperatures and then PRAY FOR THE MERCY OF GOD

Can’t wait for next week when we get a story about Batman’s UTI

You know what you’re absolutely right. It’s my bad I just found the issue online and the panel is marvelous :’) I wonder if this means Bruce is finally going to submit his Bat-adoption papers for John. He’s already had Clark’s signature as a co-parent he just needed wait for the right moment

I know right! So excited for the next issue to see what how Bruce will ask Clark! Overall, I really love the adoption subplots this comic has, especially with Wonder Woman, Constantine, and Zatanna getting joint custody of Shazam!

I’m gonna be honest, people pretending Bruce has an adoption addiction Is funny and all, but it’s starting to trick people into thinking he goes out searching for and wanting to put all these actual children in the line of danger when in reality they just sorta latch onto his leg while he stands there trying shake them off screaming “NO, I’M NOT DOING THIS AGAIN” ‘till he caves and teaches them jujitsu

who put four cooked shrimp in my utility belt

I mean it. We’re not going out until someone tells me who did it.

This behavior is unacceptable. This is disgusting.

Well? I’m waiting. Someone has to know who did this.

I’m serious. Who put the goddamned shrimp in here? No, no, we’re not leaving yet. Get back here. Do you think I’m joking? Do I look amused? We’re all staying right here until one of you comes forward.

I can’t believe the disrespect I have to put up with from this family

Shrimp!

Fine, you know what? Now no one gets to go out. We’re all staying right here in the cave. How do you feel about that?

The reason why 'Good Parent Bruce Wayne' is so popular amongst fans, is because he has potential to be a good father. Making him a bad parent is contradictory and an injustice towards his character as both Bruce Wayne and Batman. In this essay, I will

the batman fandom is actually like 16 different fandoms for the same guy. some of these states actively hate each other. most of them are unaware of the existence of others. you probably know, at most, 5 of these independent states. realistically you’ll know 1-3. I’m right.

“jason todd is the angry robin” nope incorrect dick “snuck out of his new foster home in the middle of the night to track down and hopefully murder his parents’ killer” grayson is the angry robin who worked very very hard to turn himself into the symbol of hope and good that robin became and saying it’s jason is a disservice to both jason “robin gives me magic!! :D” todd and dick “i want to save the soul of gotham” grayson

“damian wayne is the scary robin” wrong again! tim “figured out batman and robin’s identity at 9 years old outstubborned batman to become robin beat ras al ghul and the league of assassins and is canonically the smartest member of effectively the smartest family on earth” drake is a terror with a mean streak that most of the robins don’t have and that is much much scarier for being calm and calculating and damian wayne deserves to have his enormous fucking heart recognized

I feel like I see a lot of DC fans on here who are under the impression that Tim Drake is the most likely of all the Bat Kids to eventually quit being a vigilante and return to civilian life and I kind of wanted to talk about this because when you first hear this take it kind of tracks, but then when you actually have to think about it for a second it doesn’t make sense at all. Tim is the least likely in my mind to ever quit the game.

1. The thing with Tim as Robin is that in his earlier days he says that eventually he’ll quit Robin, when his work is done and his purpose in the role is served, but its kind of very clear that that is a lie he is telling himself, because when will his work be done? Under what circumstance or standards could that be judged? It’s really a very vague ending point for him to mark, and I’ve always felt like that was on purpose. The possible circumstances of Tim hanging up the cape are further solidified in YJ, when he is asked if he’d ever quit Robin, and he replied that he’d do it “in a heartbeat”, but then he clarifies that him quitting Robin would mean that there is no more people to help or save, that humanity has entered a Utopian society where vigilantes are no longer needed. This is confirmed the only situation under which he’d be willing to quit Robin. So yes, theoretically he’d quit, but in reality he’d NEVER quit Robin. The likelihood of there never being another person who needs saving and the world being at peace is far too low for it to be anything more than a hypothetical situation. It’s an impossible goal that he’s set for himself.

2. Tim Drake is different from the other Robins in that he CHOSE to become a vigilante. He had a perfectly normal civilian life. Two living parents. He decided for himself that he wasn’t satisfied with standing on the sidelines when Batman, and by extension Gotham, needed a Robin. He is the definition of the “Well, someone had to do it, might as well be me” mentality when it comes to helping people. As long as he is capable of helping I do not think he will ever be okay with sitting back and letting other people take care of the problems in the world. Additionally over the course of the comics he’s pretty much lost most of his civilian life, there’s not too much left for him to go back to although his relationship with Bernard might he changing that a little. His parents died, he dropped out of high school, lost contact with most of his civilian friends. Him choosing to become Robin actively made his life worse, despite gaining a new family with the bats he still lost so much, and had to grieve so many, even if some of them came back. He went through trauma he’d never have had to deal with he hadn’t gotten himself involved. And he still didn’t quit. Even after all that. For me that shows how absolutely determined he is to see things through, how committed to the mission he is.

From the beginning, Tim was never going to quit. Sure, he’s not like the other Robins in that he had a tragic backstory to propel him towards vigilantism, and he wasn’t born into a life of martial arts like Damian or Cass were, but he was never going to be someone who was okay with being a civilian. He knew too much, for one thing. He cared too much, for another. If Bruce Wayne’s Batman is about making sure that no one else has to suffer like he did, then Tim Drakes Robin is about doing what you can, simply because you are there to do it.

normalize creators replying to fanon shippers with “that’s great that you’re inspired to write your own version of things. keep doing that! but please respect our version of our story.”

normalize fans being reminded that boundaries between fandom and creators exist for a reason.

normalize fans recognizing their own creative potential without seeking canon validation

normalize the idea that fandom is a hobby, not an identity to threaten and fight and harass people over

normalize a healthy understanding of the boundaries between fiction and reality

normalize just chilling the fuck out lmao

everyone who writes cass as an annoying piece of shit deserves to be kissed with tongue <3
