#Damian also bites

[magnusraydar]

The Robins' overall vibes to me.

Dick the angry, feral, vengeful, bitey Robin

Jason, the "Robin is magic" happy, little shit Robin.

Tim, the mysterious, cryptic, unhinged Robin

Steph, the actual super angsty, feral, angry Robin

Damian, the murderous, bratty, sarcastic Robin

I can't think of the proper words for Damian. leave me alone, lmao.

Prompt in Memes 6

Let's make it some in-world memes this time :)

[glow-worms-are-believers]

Break a leg (dp x dc)

"So, the food here is pretty sweet," the girl sitting next to him starts.

Damian hums before remembering he's supposed to be gathering intel and that means he has to talk to people.

"There aren't a lot of vegetarian options," he manages with a tight smile, making sure to look like he is stressed over the audition.

"Oh yeah, that's true," the girl says and falls quiet for a moment.

Damian looks back down at the script he's reading, though he knows the lines by heart. And then the girl speaks up again.

"So how'd you get here?" she says as she swings her legs. "My name's Dani by the way, what's yours?"

Damian folds up the papers carefully. "I'm Stephan," he says. "My agent suggested I try out for a movie role." He offers the girl a convincing shy smile. "How about you?"

"Some guy came up to me and wanted me to audition for this. I thought he was a child trafficker so I followed him. Turns out he wasn't and now I'm here," the girl said before shrugging.

"Why did you follow a man who you thought was a child trafficker?"

"To beat him up," the girl answered.

"Oh." Damian is going to assume that's a joke, if only to preserve his last bit of faith in human intelligence. He's pretty sure every child knows to go away from criminals, not towards.

"Who are you auditioning for?" Dani asks.

"I'm trying for Lennox," Damian answers, shuffling his papers as if nervous.

"A lead," the girl exclaims before extending a fist. "Nice, dude. I believe in you." Damian internally sneers at the gesture but outwardly, he smiles sheepishly and knocks his knuckles against hers. "I'm going for Abigail," the girl continues. "If this goes well, we might end up working together soon, huh?"

"Hopefully," Damian answers with a smile.

Dani smiles back widely and is about to answer when a lady steps out into the room.

"Danielle Nightingale?"

The girl gets to her feet with a chirped "present!" The lady gestures to follow before walking back out. Dani looks over to Damian. "Wish me luck!" she says before twirling away without giving Damian the chance to actually answer.

Damian sits in silence as he looks back down at the script when his earpiece crackles to life.

"Wow, baby bat, that was downright sweet," Brown's whistle comes over the coms. "When's the wedding?"

"I will hurt you," Damian hisses back, hiding his mouth behind the papers.

"Just saying," she sing-songs. "You were awfully chummy out there."

"I was trying to follow your instructions," he bites out quietly. "Or would you have preferred I didn't?"

"No, no, I prefer my civilians un-stabbed," Spoiler answers lightly. "I just didn't know you had it in you."

"I was trained for infiltration," Damian points out. "I know how to lie."

"That is good news because we need you to get on that crew," Brown says. "Ready to blow their minds?"

Damian lets himself have a little smirk, hidden behind the script. "They won't know what hit them."

I love Duke Thomas

I luv him :3

He is silly

Sorry the demons anyway

Duke is a fun character that people (fanfic writers, official writers, etc) never really seem to take advantage of. I’m not here to complain about writing tho I’m here to rant.

Duke is the perfect age where you can make him friends with the characters directly older than him (Tim’s gen/Young Justice) and the ones directly younger than him (Damian’s generation, eg Jon Kent, Shazamily maybe) and I think more people should write about him just being the middle of the youngest kids

Like, Jason and Cass are middlest of the oldest, Duke is middlest of the youngest.

Duke showing up to titans tower, charming young justice, insulting Tim to his face, stealing something, bringing up the Robin gang, and leaving. Once Tim and Duke have known eachother for a while, Tim complains about Duke the same amount he does Damian! Possibly worse because Duke never does anything actually malicious! He’s just Tim’s little brother!

Duke going into Damian’s room when his friends are over and embarrassing him. He’s the designated chaperone when the kids want to go out somewhere. Walking with Dami to and from school. I imagine they play minecraft together

So I want Damian to have one sibling relationship where he isn’t a baby, sue me! No one really brings up the fact that them two are the only of the kids who really live at home, they are sort of forced to put up with eachother. Damian also doesn’t really have a reason to hate Duke, I imagine he’s mostly got over his ‘heir to the bat’ nonsense by the time he gets fostered and, even if he hasn’t, Duke doesn’t really want Bruce as his dad! Duke is in no way competition

I want to see Damian insulting Duke, biting him, hitting him, awful awful shit and everyone is like

‘Oh no! Why is Dami evil again 😣’

But then Duke just yells back at him! 20 minutes later their seen on the couch sharing a pack of skittles! I want one normal sibling relationship in this family!

Dick Grayson went to Juvie instead of an orphanage or foster care or straight home with Bruce. While he was there he was beaten, some specific kids were more nasty than the rest, some nicer. No one would believe them when he said his parents were murdered , everyone thought he was crazy. After two weeks of torment he broke out, on his way to kill Zukko for what he did. But not before stealing all his bully's extra clothes and burning them.

Once he had escaped he ran into the Bat, promptly biting his hand and kicking him in the legs.

Bruce sees this traumatized feral demon child and decides to take him home.

Dick breaks out 17 times in the first week.

None of his siblings know his past, they don't really think about some of the strange remarks, why would they? This is just their sweet big brother, the golden child who never did anything wrong, the one with the great childhood before becomingbruceswardnotson being taken in by Bruce and becoming Robin, the perfect partner, the perfect child.

So why would they bat an eye when Alfred says Dick's the reason for all the security, they probably needed to make sure he wouldn't get kidnapped, right?

Or why neither Bruce nor Dick will talk about his earlier days, always sticking to when he was at least 14, not 8.

Maybe one day Tim gets bored and decides to check the security cameras from when Dick first got taken in, and it forever changes the way he sees his older brother.

[allthegothihopgirls]

i think most of the robins bit people in fights at some point. they never really talked about it but i think it’s almost a requirement because as much as they’re all very traumatized children they’re also very feral children, in spandex suits, fighting mentally ill people, so it had to have happened a few times.

also i think damian’s one of those kids who goes up the stairs on all fours when no one is looking. let him be a weird gremlin of a kid when no one’s around

i'm not sure that 'feral' is the exact term i'd use when describing the robins, except maybe young jason. i think they're a lot more unhinged than they are feral. as much as dick was a 'circus freak', and tim rarely had attentive parental figures, and damian was raised by the league, their upbringings were still all somewhat controlled + structured.

i think that with the biting, although it goes unmentioned, bruce would notice it (and maybe touch on it not being the ideal attack to make), but apart from that i just don't think it's something they really recognise as a 'thing'.

(i have a lot of thoughts about the headcanon of jason actually biting people as a defence mechanism, whether it be in combat or at the manor, but that's somewhat off-topic.)

i see a lot of people saying that they don't think damian would bite or engage in all that 'unsophisticated' behaviour because of his upbringing, but i just don't agree. at the end of the day he's still a kid, and slowly letting go of the negative practices enforced on him by the league. of course he's going to still have childish impulses, i think he just learns to give into them more the longer he stays at the manor.

i think if he were to get into hand-on-hand combat with any of his older brothers (even if it be over something stupid), he would sooooo resort to biting them if they had him in some kind of hold. he might even do it as robin. i've seen people who say he wouldn't diminish his training by resorting to that, but once again i don't agree. he's resourceful, biting is just another skill in his arsenal, and he's 100% aware that it adds to his little shit reputation™.

and he definitely just. acts like a kid sometimes, and is SO odd about it. whether it be by going up and down the stairs weirdly, meowing to alfred the cat, making race car tracks out of household items that span several rooms, getting overly excited about a certain tv show or book series, choosing outfits that clearly don't match but make him happy, etc etc (i have a post about how damian might act like a regular kid, in more detail)

[lovelylonelymoonlight]

Someone should write a de-aged Bruce fic where a little Bruce bites Damian for being a “meanie”

[starsapphire]

i will say i think the name damian is the stupidest choice they could have gone with. so on the nose it hurts. i know morrison was rubbing their hands together in front of babynames.com thinking they were the most creative person on earth for naming ra's al ghul's heir "damian"

[welcometogrouchland]

The fact that no one across all of DC fandom (as far as I can tell) has mined the beautiful comedic potential that is the night and day difference between Tim and Damians current canonical love interests

it/he/bite prince futch grey-aro genderqueer bi man flag!!

pls credit me if you use- thnx!

[carf-writes]

Movie speculation here but what if the DCU Batman: The Brave and the Bold actually is about DickBats?

I can't help but notice that the official comic book cover used for the announcement is Dick as Batman on the cover from Morrison's Batman and Robin run. Gunn even says that the movie (which I know hasn't been written yet) will be based on Morrison's run which is notable because again Bruce is not Batman in that run.

Bruce is Batman in "Batman and Robin" during Tomasi's run which was in the New 52 but not in Morrison's.

Now they might just say Morrison because he's a more famous comic writer or because even though it's Bruce the plot line will be more inspired by Morrison's run but like the run is all about how Dick is not Bruce.

Dick knows the circus lingo of the circus of the strange, the police don't trust him because they know he's not the same Batman, Jason calls him out for being a poor imitation, Dick tries to resurrect Bruce but it goes wrong, they find out about the ancient connections to Batman because Bruce is stuck in the past. Honestly the arc does not stand alone- it's super tied into the Batman RIP storyline. So I'm not even sure how you could make it a Bruce story.

So what if they just cast somebody as "batman" but it turns out that it's actually Dick as Batman?

[theonehitwonder]

Well now the child is beating up Nightwing lol

fascinating.

[dc-gotham-instincts-wild]

Headcanon that Jason just kidnaps his siblings instead of asking them to hang out sometimes.

Sometimes he does the normal abduction thing and other times he has his methods.

Dick: Jason sneaks into Dick’s apartment in Blüdhaven at 3 AM, throws him over his shoulder, and drags him to his motorcycle. Dick wakes up mid-ride, half-conscious, groggily mumbling, "Jay, what the hell—?"

- Jason just shushes him and tosses a burger into his lap. "Shut up and eat, Goldie. We're bonding." (Jason, allowing his big brother to ruffle his hair? Nooooo, absolutely not...)

Tim: Jason straight-up drugs him asleep him when Tim refuses to take a break. He wakes up in Jason’s apartment with a cup of coffee and a sandwich waiting for him, while Jason sits on the couch reading a book.

- “You looked dead on your feet, Replacement. Either you napped willingly or I made you. Guess which one you picked.” (Jason totally doesn't rake a hand over his lil bro's hair during this time)

Steph: Jason knows Steph is a wild card when it comes to hanging out, so he has to be a little sneakier with her. He'd show up at her place unannounced, pretending to just be casually passing by, and in one smooth motion, he'd grab her and yank his little sister into his car or bike before she even realizes what's happening. (He totally doesn't do this in time with hard school, noooo)

Damian: Jason scoops him up mid-battle and just walks away with him. Damian kicks, bites, and yells, "UNHAND ME, TODD!" but Jason holds him like an angry kitten.

- They end up at a rooftop picnic with Alfred’s homemade food. Damian eventually eats while grumbling about Jason's “barbaric methods” but secretly enjoys the attention. (Jason maaayybe ruffles his hair a lot.)

Cass: She just lets it happen. Jason shows up, gestures toward his bike, and Cass just hops on without a word. They go on long road trips in comfortable silence, getting ice cream at 2 AM and scaring off criminals for fun. (Jason totally doesn't take the time to help her with her speech-)

Duke: Duke gets fake-napped. Jason tells him, "Be outside in five minutes," and when Duke says no, Jason still shows up, grabs him, and hauls him into a car.

- Duke just sighs and texts Bruce: "Jason's 'kidnapping' me again. Back later." (Jason totally doesn't get the names of school bullies from him and uses them, noooooooo)

Bruce knows this happens. He just sighs and lets it happen because, honestly? It’s Jason’s way of showing love. And at least the kids are getting along.

Jason kidnaps his siblings because it's his way of saying, "You're important to me, and I'm gonna drag you into ridiculous situations whether you like it or not."

He also, however, does it to Bruce.

In fact, it might be one of his favorite things to do, just because Bruce is always so serious and “responsible.”

Jason thinks it’s hilarious to force Bruce to take a break. He just shows up at the Batcave, probably with some kind of overly complicated plan to "kidnap" Bruce without him realizing.

Step 1: Jason would distract Alfred with a "Oh, just a quick check-in, you know, 'cause it’s been a while.’"

Step 2: He would wait for Bruce to get fully immersed in some case files and then sneak up behind him, tap him on the shoulder, and when Bruce turns around, Jason’s already got him in a headlock, pulling him out of the chair like, "Get up, old man. We're going to a diner. No arguments."

Bruce would protest, of course. He'd probably try to get out of it with his usual grumpy “I’m too busy” routine. Jason might fake-sigh and act like he's just trying to help Bruce loosen up, reminding him, "I know you think you’re invincible, but you still need to eat, Batman."

And if Bruce insists on not going, Jason would just drag him anyway. He might even grab the Batmobile for a joyride (he's always wanted to), making Bruce sit shotgun while Jason drives like an absolute maniac (Jokes on both because Bruce taught him to drive-)

Bruce would probably be scowling the whole time, but Jason would know his dad is secretly enjoying it, even if he won't admit it.

Eventually, Bruce would probably give in and get his grumpy little “dad” lecture—“You’re so reckless, Jason—” but Jason would just smile and be like, "Whatever. You’re welcome.”

Jason totally doesn't like it when his dad just ruffles his hair at some point.

[lapislavender]

the biggest joked about conspiracy in Gotham shouldn't be "do the butts match" NO it should be that Bruce Wayne's kids are actually biological.

Bruce built his persona on being a dumbass playboy and Gotham's hottest bachelor. Then he ~mysteriously~ adopts a recently orphaned Dick Greyson by ~chance~ who shares his black hair and blue eyes and later shares his body type. Then he ~randomly~ adopts a kid from crime alley that ALSO shares his black hair and blue eyes. Then- He gets his neighbour's kid as a ward. A neighbour's kid that suspiciously has black hair and blue eyes. Cassandra? No blue eyes but certainly his hair, and her personality is almost identical to her father's. Duke may not look like it at first- But he shares the same strong jawline, black hair and while shorter than Bruce- he's got the same body (again, like dick). and ofc Damian is straight up his kid

Like. Tabloids should write articles about how Bruce's playboy nature came back to bite him, people make estimates about how many people in the city are secretly Bruce's children. Rumours spread that he only adopts the ones that fall on hard times. Maybe there's people that try to claim they're a secret Bruce Wayne lovechild and it drives him up the wall because he HAS to check. Just in case.

Personal headcanon: Gotham has more human bite injuries per capita than almost anywhere else in the world. If a Gotham Rogue kidnaps you, your options are wait for the Bats to come get you (response times vary), get gassed/injected with any number of horrifying substances (and probably die a horrific death or have your life permanently fucked up), or use whatever you have available to you to get free (probably also die, but at least it'll be faster and you might actually get out!). If it's an option between waiting for Joker to inject me or going for his goon's throat with my teeth, best be sure I'm putting my teeth to work as god intended.

Ergo, bespoke: All Of The Bats bite people

Broke: Damian bites people

Woke: Jason bites people
