When the League meets Baby Robin(Dick), they are genuinely surprised, as it seems impossible that Batman is raising this little ray of sunshine who appeared from between his cape and then proceeded to greet them with the brightest smile they've all ever seen, completely adoring Superman, saying how great Wonder Woman is, and actually laughing at Barry's jokes.

Bruce takes care of his work, but occasionally stops to, in fact, help Robin who is trying to do his English homework. The other members also help out, of course.

So, Hal arrives at the Watchtower, and Robin, seeing the man his dad mentor has been so grumpy about because of the last meeting they had (Hal doesn't understand that Batman is the best at his job and is the one giving directions for a reason, duh!), decides he will exact revenge.

He carries on a normal conversation with the man just as he did with everyone else, subtly leading the topic until Hal falls into the trap:

Hal: What about your mom? I can't imagine anyone putting up with the old bat.

He speaks with all mockery, but then his smile freezes when he sees the tremor in the little boy's shoulders.

Dick: *shuddering and holding back a little sob* my mummy died in front of me a few months ago.... I...

Hal is pale now, because the child actually sobs, and runs off to hide in the cape of Batman, who was now standing, ready to stitch up his child.

He's not the only one, Superman and the others are already there too, looking at him angrily because he made the little bean cry.

Hal is in a panic.

And if he sees how the boy smiles at him when no one is looking, sticking his tongue out at him while moving his lips to send him the message "Don't bother my dad", no one would ever believe him, not while the little boy is now clinging to Batman tightly as he slowly blinks away tears that not even the best actors could ever pull off.

Only Hal knows the devil behind that angel face.

Batman knows it too, but he adores his precious little demon.

Oh your Cliff looks so angy-

Can we get a doodle of him and Bee just being silly or something?

He's not that angry- he just frowns a lot (he has a lot of reasons to)

The World Economic Forum has stated that an incoming ‘Water Crisis’ will succeed because their ‘Climate Change’ narrative has failed… Adding it’s too ‘complex’ as she openly admits they were unable to ‘vaccinate’ everyone in the World. 🤔

Todd Anderson has shit hand writing. Simply because I think it’d be funny.

Todd: Neil I wrote you a poem!

Neil: really?! Let me see- oh!

Todd: …do you like it?

Neil: I love it!…what does it say?

Todd: what do you mean? Can’t you read it?

Neil: Todd…I’m not convinced this isn’t just a drawing made by a cat.

My favorite writing trope has got to be "The plot twist is super obvious from early on, but it so obvious that you start doubting yourself".

It's such a good way to manipulate your reader's thoughts and also makes the plot twist still surprising and enjoyable! It's a great mindfuck.

Like for example, there's this character and they're all looking for this other character that is something of a chosen one idk. And you immediately can guess that this guy is that chosen one. But as the story progresses people are still not acknowledging this, the story still is trying to keep the identity of the chosen one a secret. And there's little bits of info about the chosen one character that our guy isn't even reacting to and is just going "Huh new info to find this dude."

And as this keeps happening all the time, the readers start to doubt themselves. "Is this guy actually just normal?" "It's so obvious that they're the same person but why aren't they reacting to anything?" "Are they actually different people?" "I still think they're the same person but is the plot twist that they're actually just two different characters?"

And than comes the reveal that yes, they are in fact the same person but the story was gaslighting you so hard that you doubted all your conclusions and now you're surprised to be proven right all along!

Is it evil? Yes.

Is it backstabbing? Absolutely.

Does it give you trust issues? More than a failed relationship.

Do I eat it up every single time? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY
