So I very easily forget about movies, it turns out. I felt pretty confident in the first half, but I felt like I was reaching as I dipped into more and more franchises. Simple conclusion: I don't watch nearly enough Bollywood, and there aren't nearly enough musicals in my list! I tried to avoid Disney IPs until the very end, and I'd like to branch out in Asian cinema from the two directors I've watched so much of. Maybe now's the time to make a change!

If asked, do you think you could make a list of 100 of your favorite movies?

Tim should have seen it coming.

He kicks himself, now, for turning a blind eye to it, because all the evidence was there.  

Bruce had been progressively more violent with Dick.  Dick tried to hide it, of course, to keep that from his ‘little brothers,’ but Tim wasn’t stupid.  

Then there was that whole Jason thing.

He should have seen it coming.

Bruce’s mental state had been deteriorating, and he was doing nothing to help himself.  And clearly, he would not accept anyone’s help.  Not even from those he claimed to love.

The seconds ticked by, Tim lying on the ground, propped up on one elbow as his other hand felt at the quickly swelling spot on his jaw.  

The others were silent.  In shock, Tim assumed.  He would be, too, if he didn’t know Bruce so well.  If he couldn’t see Bruce for who he was, and not what everyone wanted him to be. Like he said, he should have seen it coming.

“Father,” Damian finally said.  Quietly.  Almost like a whisper, spoken in horror, and Tim really regretted not anticipating this.  Because as much of a shit Damian was, he didn’t deserve this.  Didn’t deserve an abusive father on top of everything else in life.

Bruce, at least, looked a little surprised with himself.  But not enough for Tim to take it as an apology.  No.  Tim wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to accept an apology from Bruce for this.

And actually, Tim was quite done with all of this.  Quite done with Bruce.  

“That was uncalled for,” Duke said, shifting from one foot to the other, while the others seems to come out of their stupor.

Tim pushed himself up to a sitting position and Barbara and Damian walked over and knelt by his side, Babs inspecting his face while Damian just looked on, no emotions registering on his face at all.

“Leave,” Cass said, putting herself between Bruce and Tim, acting like she’d protect Tim from further attack. There would be no further attack, Tim knew, but it was a sweet sentiment, regardless.

“I called you all here,” Bruce started, just to have Damian cut him off, who stood to face his father.

“-and then you attacked Tim unprovoked.  We’re done here.”

The way Bruce’s face twitched caused Tim to grab Damian’s arm and pull him back, away from Bruce.  Not that Cass would have let Bruce step any closer.

“I swear to God, Bruce,” Tim said, brushing Barbara’s hands away from his face as he stood, “just leave.”

“Tim.  Tim, I-”

“Leave,” the lot of them chorused, none of them particularly interested in listening to anything Bruce had to say.  Especially not a half baked ‘apology’ he was only spewing to get them all to help him with Bane.  Or whatever his mind had cooked up.

Bruce got the message and gripped onto his cape, throwing it dramatically as he spun on his heel and walked toward the edge of the roof.  Tim paid him no more attention.  

The girls pulled Duke a few feet away, and the four of them started whispering among themselves, leaving Tim and Damian alone, standing next to each other. 

Damian turned to face Tim and asked, “Has Father ever….” But trailed off, frowning at Tim’s jaw.

“Do you have some place to stay?”  Tim asked, rolling his shoulders, preparing to run and jump off the roof.  To go back to his team and away from Gotham.

“The Titans,” Damian said, nodding.

“Good,” Tim pulled out his grapple and looked back down at Damian, “Clark would let you stay with him, too.  If you asked.  Or me, but you’d have to be nice to my team.”

All Damian did was frown harder, so Tim stepped forward and placed a hand on his shoulder. 

Damian finally rose his gaze to Tim’s eyes, and away from his jaw, and asked in probably the sweetest, saddest voice Tim had ever heard, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Tim rubbed at his jaw and winced at the tenderness.  It was going to bruise so bad.  At least it didn’t feel broken. Trying to explain that to his team… “I’ve had worse.

“But it was Father,” Damian said lowly, quietly.  Like the words themselves.  The very idea was painful to acknowledge.

Tim wrapped his arm around and pulled Damian in for a hug.  Their first hug, he realized.

“Is there something wrong with him?” Damian whispered, wrapping his own arms around Tim’s waist.

“He’s broken and hurting.  I wish I could say he’s been drugged, or brainwashed, or something.  But it’s not like this is the first time he’s….” 

“He’s hit you before?” Damian cried, pulling away and looking up at Tim in horror.

“No.  Not me.  Dick and Jason.”

“He hasn’t….. Me.”  

“Good,” Tim said, pulling him in for another second before he let go, “Stay away from him.  He needs help, and I don’t want you getting hurt because he refuses to deal with it.  Alfred will handle it.”

“Call me if you need me, okay?” Tim said, fiddling with his grapple as he prepared to leave, “This family’s a mess, but I’m around.”

Damian nodded solemnly, but smiled slightly when he said, “Perhaps the Titans and your team could work together sometime.”

“Yeah,” Tim said with a grin, “That’d be fun.  Later, Robin.”  Tim turned and ran toward the edge of the roof.  

Just before he jumped, he heard Damian holler, “Goodbye, Robin.”

That’s all I want to post in this. owo

#op i trust you but can i also get some sources#i am interested (from @ccain)

Oh god, where do I start. A lot of this is just...general knowledge or stuff that pops out when you look at a timeline of how the stories going on shake out.

It is very, very clear when you look at how the storyline started, Devin Grayson pitched a 'break the cutie' plot. She spends 18 months carefully making everything go wrong in Dick's life, and then presumably intended for him to come out the other side stronger and more committed to The Mission.

I'm going to compare this again against Red Robin #1-12, which is a compact and successful example of this sort of storyline. RR #1-4 is Tim Hits Rock Bottom. The events of the past 5 years or so finally catch up with him and Tim Breaks. He yells at people he's close to, pushes everyone away, and goes on the run. RR #5-8 is Tim swimming around going 'well I've given in to my Worst Impulses, Am I Evil?' and flirting with Doing Wrong. RR #9-12 is the resolution - Tim realises he still has people who love him and rely on him, he goes to heroically save Bruce's loved ones, and gets a moment of pure sweet resolution hugging Dick in the Cave.

Devin Grayson's whump plot for Dick essentially runs from #71-95, and then from #107-116. She desperately tries to wrap it up in #117 but it's halfhearted at best. The intervening 11 issues (almost a YEAR) in the middle there, #96-106, consists of: 3 issues of War Games, one issue post-War Games that is essentially just the fallout and new status quo being explained to Dick (because he was unconscious during the final parts of War Games), Nightwing #100 (which is about long term stories and doesn't bother to seriously get back to the plot as it's essentially a stand alone issue), and then #101-106, which are Nightwing: Year One, written by Chuck Dixon.

As a writer, Devin Grayson essentially had no choice about anything that happened in that year. Her plot got put on hold for two other stories. It also got put on ice at the worst possible moment: right as Dick hit rock bottom in #93, and let Tarantula shoot Blockbuster. #94-95 mostly consist of Dick wandering around in a daze, probably dissociating from the horror of what he's just let happen, while Catalina tries to marry Dick.

In Red Robin terms, imagine if after RR #4, as Tim is lying there bleeding to death, the plot got put on hold for 11 months while Tim had to go back to Gotham for Blackest Night (instead of those issues just happening as separate tie ins), followed by another writer getting to spend 6 months recapping A Lonely Place of Dying. Imagine what that would do to the story's pacing.

Once Devin gets control of her story back, in issue #107, she launches into the Mob Arc. I like the Mob Arc, being #107-112. It's the equivalent of RR #5-8. Dick's decides that he's a Terrible Person, so he's punishing himself working as an enforcer for the mob. He's also simultaneously remembering what it's like to be part of a family, with a father who cares about you and a little sibling to protect. This is the upswing. It's where Dick is supposed to start recovering, and working out that he's not Evil.

Unfortunately for everyone concerned, the plotting of Infinite Crisis is underway at this point, and Dan Didio wants to kill off a character to seal This Is Really Serious. He wants to do a Barry sacrifice. Didio picks Dick, for a variety of reasons that have been explained many different ways over the years, but that essentially boil down to "Didio saw Dick, as a legacy character, as superfluous". He wasn't Batman OR Robin, but he used to be Robin. People would care but it wouldn't disrupt things that much. Here's a very basic explanation from Didio - there have been a LOT more details leaked over the years.

Didio got it very, very, very wrong. His writer's room for Infinite Crisis essentially staged a coup and forced Didio to accept that killing Dick Grayson would result in half the writers walking/resigning, including iirc Geoff Johns and Marv Wolfman. Geoff Johns was the lead writer for Infinite Crisis. People cared very much about Dick. They swapped his death out for Kon's instead (and the swap came very very late - Infinite Crisis is written as if Dick's about to die, they swapped out pages at the last minute).

BECAUSE Dick was now fated to die during Infinite Crisis, Devin got told to wrap her story up. Nightwing was ending issue #117. She segued over into the Slade plot (which probably was her next intended move anyway - Dick training Rose would be the shock that brought him back out of his moping over being evil), but only gets 3 issues of this, including one where Roy gets to yell at Dick about What Are You Doing??? Slade's also simultaneously part of the Evil Plot going on in Infinite Crisis, and since Dick's dying anyway, the event writers decide to drop Chemo on Bludhaven, to again ramp up the drama and sacrifice. If Dick's dead they don't need the city, plus Devin Grayson had already killed off the majority of characters people cared about there anyway (Batgirl is already scheduled to end at the same time too, and moving Robin back to Gotham was the long term plan anyway).

Standing in the ruins of Bludhaven, in issue #116, Dick finally, finally reaches where RR #9-12 should start. He gets back into the blue fingerstripes and mourns his dead.

Unfortunately for everyone, this resolution arc gets exactly one issue, #117. Dick finally gets to tell Bruce what happened to Blockbuster (which if events hadn't intervened, was more likely to have happened back around #99 or so, or maybe a little later), and he gets engaged to Babs because he's about to die and that was his little treat for getting offed (this is similar to how Steph got to be Robin because she was going to die in War Games. You get a little treat because you're about to be dead).

Unfortunately for Devin Grayson, this level of resolution is about as popular as burnt toast. Didio is shaking up writers for most titles anyway in the aftermath of Infinite Crisis - the point of One Year Later is that they can set up fresh teams on all the books. Devin is off Nightwing, never having got to resolve her plot.

And also, because the last two years of storytelling on Nightwing have been approximately as popular as a root canal with the fans (due to, as I noted, the main plot spending a year in a holding pattern, followed by 11 issues that never fully got back on track after that disruption, as they also got completely thrown for a mess again by Infinite Crisis), Devin Grayson is essentially out the door at DC as well.

I've seen books still be successful around this level of editorial fuckery. But it takes skill, talent and a lot of luck, and Devin Grayson didn't have the trifecta.

(You want an example of a book that survived this level of nonsense? Marc Andreyko's run on Manhunter. Which got cancelled TWICE and then finished up as a back-up in Streets of Gotham. And even that won the lottery several times)

Since I’m once again thinking about it, Devin Grayson really had the worst luck in the world for her whump storyline.

Sure I’m certain it would never have ranked up there with people’s favourites, but I’d love to have seen what her original pitch for the resolution of the storyline was. Presumably the depression-almost-marriage, then Dick runs off and joins the mob, then we finally get a comfort arc where he realises he’s NOT that person and reconciles with the family.

Instead: 9 of the following 13 issues to Nightwing #93 were out of Devin’s control (War Games then Nightwing Year One), she gets her mob arc up only to be informed Dick will be getting sacrificed in Infinite Crisis, and she diverts over to the half done Slade story because nothing really matters at this point, hey? Editorial drops Chemo on Blüdhaven because Dick’s dying anyway, we can sacrifice his city for drama, only for the rebellion to save Dick AFTER PAGES ARE TURNED IN.

I know everyone dislikes #93 and why they feel that way, but it’s also basically the last point for the subsequent two years where Devin had any control over the course of the title, at the end of which she was removed. #94&95 are the start of Dick’s reaction. She gets to write #100 and ONE proper story arc in after this point: the mob arc #107-112. Everything else is scraped together transitions or preempted or someone else’s story.

If her story hadn’t been disrupted for an ENTIRE YEAR at its lowest point by intervening events, so that fans had given up on getting any sort of catharsis out of the whump and had turned on Devin, I can see a world where people enjoy Devin Grayson’s run as ‘the one where Dick gets to go off the rails’. It’d be his Red Robin - known to be Dick not acting normally, but with the fun that yeah, that was DESERVED, and Dick came out the other side solid.

But we don’t live in that world, and instead we live in the world where fans spent an entire year in a holding pattern at Dick’s lowest point, and just gave up caring. The narrative was set. This was The Worst Story (until the subsequent two Worst Stories came about)

Here it is folks, Part 1 of me Fixing and Batlanterning feat. Jason Todd Batman 73. Don’t @me Tom King. Shout out to @hillshollow for baiting me into writing this/ brainstorming the initial concept with me. Lemme

We spite writin' bc of Tom King again, baby. Spoilers for 71-73 of Batman 2016.

Bruce has gotten his ass kicked and kidnapped by arguably his most terrifying foe yet: his angry edgy murder BatDad from another dimension who has decided it's time to give Bruce a zombie mother and has dragged him and Matha's coffin/ corpse out to have a grand old party with probably the al Ghul's and co.

With Dick brain-damaged and calling himself Ric, Tim gone doing whatever he's doing with Young Justice these days and Bruce having burned a few more bridges than usual a... radically different rescue team has been assembled to rescue billionaire Bruce Wayne!

Unfortunately for the Batman (Batmen?) that team is Red Hood and Green Lantern.
