[poisonousliliy]

So, when will we see that weapon again btw

[tiger-grace]

Bruce: Okay, Damian. You need to promise to be good for the Doctor, they’re not an enemy in disguise trying to administer poison. We’ve known her for years.

Damian: The clinic is by crime alley! She most certainly owns several firearms that she could use as soon as I’m incapacitated!

Jason, raising his pistol: Firearms?

Bruce: No, Jason, no guns. We’ve spoken about this.

Damian: Anyone could be a part of a test from my grandfather! We need to be prepared!

Bruce: It’s just a vaccine shot!

Jason, very slowly raising his pistol: ..Shot?

I think Jason should use the All Blades for more mundane shit

Commission info ko-fi

[forgotten-daydreamer]

The concept of the family not knowing that Jason can summon the All Blades is so funny to me because imagine they're losing and he just pulls that shit out of his bleeding chest and they're like "wait what the fuck-"

[spectral-phases]

I need people to stop getting so precious about Clark "not letting" Bruce kill the Joker after Jason’s death post-Crisis. Everyone acts like it was like this:

But it was more:

So, we all know the story. Actually. Wait. Maybe we don't. So. The story beneath the cut.

Jason got benched as being Robin because he was not dealing well with his parents' deaths, felt like he was no longer wanted because he was adopted specifically to be Robin (and Bruce is shit at making his kids feel loved a lot of times). Jason discovered the woman who raised him was his step mother, not his bio mother. He goes looking for bio mom. Finds bio mom, she hugs him and tells him she's missed him so much, Bruce contemplates letting Jason live with his family if that would make him happier despite being obviously cut up about the idea of losing Jason. Bio mom is being extorted by the Joker to let him ship out Joker Venom disguised as medical supplies because he can't just steal the supplies and sell them. Bruce has to go stop the shipment of Joker Venom, his portable chopper is too small for two, so Jason is left behind. Jason is told to wait, but The Killing Joke just happened and his bio mom is alone with the Joker (who is insane, capricious and evil), so, obviously he has to save his mother and could not wait. Bio Mom is outside, no guards, Jason says, "Hey, I'm actually Robin, I'm here to save you from the Joker" and she says "Nah, he's actually gone, so I'm fine. But let's go inside so I can grab my things and we can leave." Her things turn out to be a gun to point at Jason after leading him to the Joker. Jason is too stunned to move. The Joker and his goons beat Jason up and then the Joker uses the crowbar to finish beating him to a presumed death. His bio mom at some point couldn't bear to watch it anymore and turns around to smoke a cigarette. Once Joker’s done, bio mom asks what they're going to do about Batman, and the Joker is all "oh. Yeah, lol. Probably was a bad idea to kill his kid. Whoops. My bad." And then ties up the bio mom to kill her and erase any evidence he brutally attacked/killed Jason. The Joker sets a bomb on a timer and leaves. Jason uses the last of his strength to untie his bio mom so she can escape. He can't see well enough to try and disarm the bomb. She tries to get them both out. The door is locked. Jason shields her as the bomb goes off, but she dies just as Batman comes up and tells him the Joker did it, calls Jason a hero, says he deserved a better mother (he did) but does not/is unable to own up to her part in Jason’s death before dying herself. Bruce finds Jason’s body and is fucking devastated.

So after that, Bruce chases the Joker down to the UN because the Joker lucked into being a diplomat for Iran and is now meeting at the UN assembly in New York. Bruce is 100% set on doing a premeditated murder of the Joker for Jason. The US government is aware of this. They hire Superman to grab Batman to try and talk him down because the Joker has diplomatic immunity for past crimes. It does not go well.

"That’s the law, not Justice." Batman is 100% still going to kill the Joker. Everyone knows. Superman knows. Superman says the stupid thing is putting vengeance above the interests of the country, not killing Joker.

Batman sneaks into the Joker’s room, and the Joker (forgetting his earlier desire to not get fucking killed by Batman) is like "oh man, I wish I could have seen your face when you found his body" and further needles Bruce with a "Or are you here to thank me for getting rid of him for you?" Making Bruce triple down on killing the Joker.

"Your confirming it makes what I have to do a lot easier."

Bruce manages to get in to observe the UN meeting as Bruce Wayne. Superman is disguised as a guard. Bruce is seething, watching the Joker, knowing that is the guy who killed Jason.

"I should have terminated his vile existence years ago. But I didn't. I couldn't. His insanity gained him a stay of execution. But no longer. ... Jason’s dead."

They both know the Joker is too stupid and lacks the impulse control needed to not attack the UN and immediately lose his immunity, which is the only thing keeping him alive. Joker releases Joker Venom to kill the delegates. Superman super breathes to inhale all the gas, which he's immune to because he's Superman and then says this as he leaves to go find a place to release the poison gas safely.

"Batman, he's all yours."

Superman basically says "You can kill him now" because he knows Batman’s mind has not changed, and Superman had not once tried to say "killing Joker would be wrong" just that it couldn't happen before the Joker acted in a way that lost him his immunity.

And Bruce does go to do just that. He chases the Joker down, intent to kill, and jumps onto the helicopter the Joker is using to escape. One of the guys fires at Batman. It shoots the pilot, hits the Joker in damn near his heart, if not his heart, and Batman realizes the helicopter is going down and decides to jump and leave the Joker behind. He intends for the Joker to die in the crash.

Okay? Bruce was 100% going to kill the Joker for killing Jason. Superman said "hang on. Let him get enough rope to hang himself first and then you can do it." And then Joker only survived because comic books. And Bruce is unhappy about having to wait. Superman did not try to talk Bruce out of killing the Joker at all ever, or scold him for wanting to kill the Joker. (Don't say he was rescuing the Joker in that last panel. The next panel is Superman fishing Batman, who is shot in the arm, from the harbor, and Batman telling Superman to go find the body. Find the body! And Superman does go to do just that, but is unable to).

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

All Caste Jason AU where he completes his training but still goes back to Gotham with a little less of murderous tendencies but still fully intending to kill the Joker, but when he steps his foot into the city for the first time while being magical, he instantly full-body recoils like "Jesus Christ this place is fucking rancid, what the fuck-"

So now he's just hanging around, trying to magically cleanse the city because this is just too much. It's too much. He can feel his aura take negative points the longer he stays there. Jason always prided himself in being a true Gothamite and having the lungs of an ox because he grew up breathing the grime, but now he has to periodically leave to get some fresh air. Has he gotten too used to the mountain air, why is the air so thick-

[temperamentalaquarius]

The way that the visibility of Dick's tragedy feeds into Dick's devotion to Bruce... a hundred people witness your parents' murder and only one comforts you while the others gape in horror... thousands read about it in the paper and watch it on tv but only one helps you solve it... how could u not love him with everything you have for the rest of your life? How could you ever deny him anything he asks of you???

[m3ntally-unstable]

When you read a really good fic but then after ur done reading it, realising that it was a part of a series so now your dying because now you’ve ruined it.

[bruciemilf]

DC I have a proposal:

[stickyvoidpaper]

Jason does tell the bats about the all caste and untitled but always in ways they misinterpret.

"joining an isolated cult" could be the League of Assassins

"the time he was fighting demons" that man has so much emotional baggage when isn't he fighting (emotional) demons.

"weapons that can destroy true evil" man relax, we get that guns can kill the joker permanently (in theory)

[frownyalfred]

look, I know the BVS casting was...let's call it controversial. But. But. It is actually fucking insane how well-cast Martha and Thomas were -- not in the sense that they're the end-all be-all castings for the individual characters, especially since we only see them on-screen for two seconds with 0 dialogue. But in the sense that they truly, truly look like adult Batfleck. You can instantly see it.

Martha:

Thomas:

Bruce:

JDM (Thomas) is a big broad man, and so is Ben Affleck, so that casting was superb. Affleck and Lauren Cohan (Martha) share a lot of coloring, but I swear there's something in her face I can see in his? Not quite sure what it is, but it's just superb casting, again. Maybe it's the cheekbones.

[graythursday]

i think about this tweet a lot

[jasontoddsgaythoughts]

I just think a holiday romcom movie starring these four would heal me a bit

[geekinthesheet5]

All according to plan😛

[jstoddwrites]

and if i said that he's mother, and looks like he's had about 3 kids and should be pregnant with a 4th ID be the unhinged bad guy??? as if we are not SEEING THE MATERIAL RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES?!?!?!?

im so mentally ill about him, and you know who else is mentally ill about him? bruce

idc idc idc, im standing by my assessment that brujay would absolutely fix them (and fuck up everyone else's dynamics) but i stand by that.......

actually, yknow what would be really fucked up and totally some shit bruce would do? i could 100% see him having his batfamily and his regular family. he cant be a good dad to kids he's also batman to, so why not just have kids that only know him as bruce? who have regular problems like struggling with homework and wanting to go to that party, bruce definitely thinks is a bad idea........there is an idea here, i will be working it out later

[sophiasrant]

There’s so much discourse on whether or not Jason should have an autopsy scar. but like. even if he doesn’t have one,, if you look at the tattoos the all blades canonically gave him, they’re in the shape of an autopsy scar. so we stay winning no matter what!!
