#HE IS NIGHTWING

“I love the man you are dick, but you need to be happy with him too.”
“You have spent your whole life defining yourself by others. Putting yourself last. It’s an admirable quality dick. It’s what makes you a hero. Now you need to find out what makes you a man.”
“I love you Barbra. And I’ll always come back to you someday. I promise.”
Barbra writes a letter to dick encouraging him to go with Bruce because he needs to find out who he is outside of other people and learn to be happy with himself. Dick goes and leaves his ring behind with a letter and a picture of him and Babs.

I know how far I go from Moana definitely fits someone from the Batfam, yet I cannot figure out who it is
Do you know? I’m trying to edit my playlist to stop having so many repeating dongs
OOHH Oh my god I had never thought of that one- In my opinion?
This is absolutely Dick longing for the freedom breaking free from Batman- he was the first
No matter how many times he tries to stick to what he believes, he's forever driven by that longing of finding on his own mission outside of what he's been taught his whole life.
It could absolutely fit several other members- But I think because it holds such a cathartic/longing version of freedom it fits Dick the best.
#dick grayson#this is absolutely his anthem#and the reprise??#“I am moana”#discovering himself#Robin was his#but now its a symbol#one of hope#and family#one he outgrew#and discovered his own way#He IS Nightwing#Nightwing#batman

Dick Grayson's unmatched success as a child vigilante makes a lot more sense when you remember the Court of Owls was a thing and that Dick was meant to be the next Grey Son.
There is no way that someone at Haly's Circus wasn't there keeping an eye on him while he grew up. A future weapon needs to be trained and monitored after all, and a circus, a place where weird skills are completely normal, is actually a great place to secretly train a child.
You know, just some knife tricks that translated really well into actual fighting. How to get out of restraints and pick locks while under a time limit. Death defying acrobatic stunts that coincidentally do wonders for parkouring. That sort of thing. Nothing that seems out of place for a boy growing up around circus performers to learn, but would literally any where else.
I mean, while I fully believe that most kids would want to kill the man responsible for their parents deaths, Dick was weirdly prepared to go through it. He tracked down Zucco with way more ease than any normal child should have too. He became the first child vigilante, for goodness sake. The first Robin! He only started getting formal training after he basically forced Bruce into it!
Bruce himself has no idea that this kind of competency in a child is unusual, considering he was much too blinded by the similarities between his and Dick's tragic orphanhoods.
Alfred is in a similar boat because he’s desensitized to weird children after he somehow managed to successfully raise Bruce 'The Batman' Wayne, so he doesn't clock the hyper-competency as abnormal either.
By the time the other batkids start popping up (Jason 'The Audacity' Todd, borderline-street rat with no fear) (Tim 'the greatest stalker in Gotham history' Drake, child genius, also bullied his way into becoming Robin) (Barbara 'raised by the only uncorrupt cop in gotham' Gordon) (Stephanie 'daddy issues and spite' Brown) (Duke 'Pretends he's the normal one and people believe him' Thomas) it's too late.
It would also explain how Dick got along so well with Damian out of all of them. Similar childhood with different approaches and all that. On some subconscious level, Dick recognises and resonates with the murderous ten year old assassin with strong familial ties to a secret elite assassin organization.
It isn't until after the whole Court of Owls and Grey Son reveal that suddenly Dick realises a whole lot of things about his childhood that suddenly make a lot more sense.
#it takes Tim exactly two years to connect the dots#he bolts upwards in his bed with wide eyes and proceeds to swear so profusely he wakes up half the house#Dick also gets along really well with Cass when I think about it#i feel like the Grey Son implications need to be explored more#dick grayson#batman#dc comics#batfam#batfamily#dc#bruce wayne#dc robin#nightwing#alfred pennyworth#batbros#batkids

Tim Drake has a hatred for Sherlock Holmes, has he ever read the books? No but his dad used to insultingly call him Sherlock as a kid when he was being too nosy or curious and now even when people say it as a compliment it just irks him
Jason being the resident classic literature nerd is dead set on at least having Tim read the books so he can either A. Actually like the books and accept that Sherlock is actually a pretty cool guy to be compared too, or B. Give actual tasteful criticism and insults based on the contents of the book
Jason could care less which happens he’s just tired of Tim ranting about his hatred for Sherlock despite not knowing a thing about Sherlock
——
Tim: Sherlock this, Sherlock that, I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing that stupid hat
Jason: The hat really isn’t even mentioned in the books, You’d know if you read them
Tim: I’m not reading them, they really can’t be that good in fact Sherlock was so bad even his literal creator wanted nothing to do with him
Jason: Your dad wanted nothing to do with you and you’re still a pretty good detective
*Cue Dick yelling at Jason cause “that wasn’t nice”
#dc comics#batfam#jason todd#red hood#dc#dick grayson#nightwing#batman#tim drake#red robin#robin#sherlock holmes#headcanons#In Jason’s defense he got Tim a really nice box set of the books that Tim hasn’t even touched

Headcanon that Jason never learned how to drive but kind of figured it out and drives alright. For the most part. Okay, he's not a good driver, and in all honesty, this is probably canon since I doubt he ever took driver's ed but here are some scenes to consider:
-----
Dick: The car in front of you is slowing down. Slow down. Jason slow down. JASON SLOW THE FUCK DOWN.
Jason: Okay! Okay! Calm down, it's hard to tell when the car in front of you is slowing down anyways.
Dick: Yeah that's why cars come with brake lights. You know, the things on the back of the car? That go off when the driver is breaking?
Jason: ...OH so that's what those mean.
-----
Jason: Damn this road is so dark, I genuinely cannot see.
Tim: Turn on your brights.
Jason: The what?
Tim: *sigh* Twist the stick thingy.
Jason: Oh my god have these been there the entire time?
-----
*Jason driving alone and fumbling with lots of different buttons and switches to try and find where the windshield wipers are in loony toones esc fashion*
-----
Damian (who is currently in drivers ed): You can turn left now.
Jason: You can only turn right on red.
Damian: Yeah but it's a one way onto another one way. You can turn left in red.
Jason: This feels illegal.
Damian: I promise you it isn't.
-----
Damian (before he took drivers ed): Aren't we suppose to exit at some point?
Jason (currently on his third lap around the roundabout): Yeah I'm just... Scared.

(Dick coming to collect Jason after he’s been “wrongfully” captured by the justice league while Batman is off world:)
Dick: Listen, Hood might be a criminal, but he’s one of Gotham’s. And he’s my brother.
JL: he killed 80 people in two days.
Dick: …he’s adopted?
Jason, glaring while bound to a chair: SO ARE YOU???
#cannot believe nobody has done this before??#or am I just not looking properly#one of my favourite genre of fics it is so funny lmao#anyhow dick and Jason are so Thor and Loki coded in a way (older brother believing his younger brother is dead but actually he’s not)#dc comics#batman#batfam#bruce wayne#dcu#batfamily#dc robin#jason todd#dick grayson#nightwing#red hood#incorrect dc quotes#incorrect justice league quotes#incorrect batman quotes#incorrect batfamily quotes#marvel#marvel quotes#thor and loki#dick and jason

headcanon that after Dick Grayson being Robin all of the batkids interchangeably use “holy ____ batman” even at the worst possible moments
Steph, staring down at Tim in the medbay cot: holy common cold, batman
Tim: please stop
Steph: holy spleenless sillybilly batman
Tim: steph please
Jason Todd on the floor, bruised and bloodied: dad?
(The timer ticks down to three seconds)
Jason: well holy shitballs batman I’m going to fucking di-
KABOOM
#legend has it Jason Todd’s first words after emerging from the grave was ‘holy Zombies (2018) batman’#Damian picks this up but refuses to acknowledge it whenever he uses it#he replaces the ‘Batman’ with ‘bat cow’#holy blood son batcow!#batman#batfam#jason todd#bruce wayne#robin#dick grayson#tim drake#red hood#batman and robin#nightwing#steph brown#spoiler#red robin#tim drakes missing spleen#damian wayne

I’ve been obsessed with the Olympics for the past week, and obsessed with Dick Grayson for longer, so here’s the crossover we all deserve.
Plus, gorgeous sweaty acrobat in gymnastics poses? Only positives.
#I know Bludhaven’s not a country don’t come at me#i wanted him in Nightwing colours#this was a compromise#plus look how pretty he looks#you can’t blame me#he looks good in blue and black what can I say#so good#someone help me I’m so bisexual#acrobat dick grayson#dick grayson fanart#dick grayson#nightwing fanart#nightwing#dc robin#olympics#olympics 2024#dc x Olympics#because we all know Dick would kill it at the Olympics if he wanted to#how many jobs has that man had#gold medal at the Olympics is just one more on the list
