Quick hypothetical here but what if in this whole Danny and Dick are siblings scenario, Danny took Dick's place? It was Danny who was the sole survivor that night. He was taken in by Bruce and became the first Robin. Danny was the one who helped found the Teen Titans. So on and so on. I just think it would be interesting you know. How much would the dynamics change? Or would it be more or less the same?
To further tackle the nature vs nurture argument. What if the typical separated young scenario was switched. No reincarnated Danny, just regular ol human Danny training with Batman. Meanwhile Dick is the one who somehow finds himself in the care of the Fentons. He's the one who gets zapped by the portal. In this case would it pretty much follow the DC and DP canon except for now their names are switched? Or would there be subtle differences? Like maybe Danny has always been more inclined to engineering than Dick so he ends up building a lot of gadgets. Maybe one of those gadgets ends up leading to Jason's survival. Or perhaps Dick always took his powers/responsibilities seriously so he never made an enemy out of Sidney Poindexter. Perhaps this attitude also led him to getting the townspeople on his side easier.
IDK, I'm just bored and my gears got to spinning a little. What do y'all think? Got any takes?
#dp x dc#in bruce's defense it really does depend on the comic run#sometimes he really is a father just trying his best (which isn't all that great a lot of the time)#and sometimes he treats his children like soldiers#*side eyes all star batman and robin*#but yeah#totally love the bruce cares#but not enough to show it#or at least put it over his mission as batman#characterization that's going on here#i wanna said “no babies! don't fight”#at dick and danny's reunion but at the same time the angst is too delicious#but you know what would be funny?#kinda funny at least#if this was the straw that broke the camal's back and danny just turns to bruce like#“nope. your batman privileges are officially revoked. i'm taking over as gotham's main vigilante now.”#just forces bruce to retire because he gets too toxic when the cowl is involved#and after fighting it for a long time and trying to get back out onto the streets#when bruce finally realizes it's not happening#he actually mellows out a little#he's still kinda toxic whenever the topic strays to vigilante work#but not he's mellow enough to where most of the bats can have a decent relationship with him#does that include danny?#not sure#maybe not#it'll probably take them longer to work through their shit than anyone else#so for now#an amicable relationship probably isn't quite in the card for them yet
