Hello guys !

I’m gonna share some behind the scenes from the deluxe edition of Robin son of Batman that came out this Wednesday !

This amazing cover art by Patrick Gleason (you might be wondering why Jon is here but Superman #10 and 11 are in this deluxe trade)

Continuing on and Gleason shares some words on Damian and writing him for the run, it’s really touching 🥹

« Damian is a glimpse of our deepest selves »

Gleason just gets Damian (as we saw in his writing of him) and I couldn’t be more happy !

Afterwards we get the different issues plus the Superman issue 10 and 11 around the end of the run. I definitely recommend you reading it if you haven’t !

At the end we have different sketches that I’m going to share some here :

Baby Goliath and what I think is the first sketch of Goliath that was mentioned in the intro !

Different sketches on the costumes designs and well the characters like Maya’s retractable sword !

One Talia Al Ghul piece from the bts

I reached the limit but will share my favorite one by far right after !

can't stop thinking about those "rent is cheap in gotham 'cause your home could get blown up at any moment" tiktoks. no capes au cassandra cain definitely takes that as a challenge i just know it.

she moves in next to a woman her age, who after running into awkwardly in the apartment hall enough, cass learns is a nursing student named stephanie. idk plot plot cass saves steph from a home invasion and they become roommates bc steph's unit got hit with joker gas. mildly crack fic where the two of them accidently become the defenders of the gotham suburbs strata housing. tim drake is their landlord. talia and bruce live down the street, and are only relevant bc steph and damian go to the same zumba classes every week

Jason: Haven't had the pleasure of meeting Bernard and Nika, but I assume they're too good for Tim and Damian.

Dick: Why do you say that?

Jason: It's a pattern in this family.

Jason: Selina and Talia are too good for Bruce, Rose is too good for me, Barbara's too good for you.

Dick: I respect that you've insulted me in a way I can't disagree with.

the real reason Talia hid Damian from Bruce was because he was one ugly baby

Chapter Three: The Note

Thomas took Bruce out for a stroll in the park after school, letting Bruce push his chair while Alfred trailed them from a safe distance. Martha wasn’t feeling well, so she stayed home. Much to her dismay, her brother Jacob and his wife stopped by to help out for a few days. “Jake, really, you don’t have to—.”

“Martha, it’s Jacob… Not Jake,” Jacob replied. Martha pinched the bridge of her nose as she tried to ignore the smell of trout. “You need the leucine. Trust me. Your body will heal faster once you—.” 

“Jacob, it’s not that I don’t appreciate the help, but—.” 

Gabi touched Martha’s shoulder and whispered, “He feels extremely guilty that he was unable to be there when you got shot. Jacob wants to make it up to you.” 

Martha softened as she finally dropped the front and burst into tears. Jacob stopped what he was doing and rubbed his neck. “Are you okay?” Jacob asked. 

“No,” Martha laughed through her tears, “I can’t go to sleep. I try to, but I—. I can’t turn my brain off… And once I do, Bruce will have a nightmare… Or, Thomas will have a nightmare… What I wouldn’t give to have a nightmare.” 

Jacob hesitated before hugging Martha and allowing her to cry on his shoulder. “I’ll make you some of Mom’s famous cocoa. How about it?” Jacob asked. Martha never cried. As the only daughter in the Kane family, most people would’ve expected Martha to be overly sensitive and spoiled, but Martha made it her resolve never to complain or cry in front of anyone. So, it was a bit of a shock to Jacob to hear her carry on like that. 

He quickly started on her cocoa, chopping bars of white chocolate and slicing strawberries before Martha could answer. Gabi smiled softly at her. “Jacob?” Gabi called as she lifted her eyebrows to look at him. He nodded. “Martha, I wanted to ask you for advice. When you were pregnant, how did you deal with the nausea?” 

Martha stopped crying as she squinted at Gabi and glanced over at Jacob, who nodded proudly without looking at her. Martha squealed. “Oh, Gabi, come here. Come here!” She hugged Gabi and laughed. “How far along are you? Oh, hon, you look fantastic. You’re not even showing yet. Are you in your first trimester?” 

“I am… But, I just thought you should know if everything goes well, you should be having a little niece or nephew in April,” Gabi answered. 

“Oh congratulations, Gabi. I will fly out if I have to for the shower. Just let me know the time and place. I’ll be there no matter what. Oh my goodness, I have just got to pull it together before you have this baby. I can’t have your child think that I’m always a mess,” Martha laughed as she wiped a few oncoming tears away. “Would you like to lie down?” Gabi shook her head. 

“No, but I think you should. If you want, I’ll sit with you after you have your cocoa,” Gabi offered. Martha nodded.

Meanwhile, Bruce quietly ate ice cream with Alfred and Thomas. “Brucie, how was school?” Thomas asked. 

Bruce avoided eye contact with Alfred and Thomas as he shrugged. “It was great,” Bruce mumbled. 

“That was quite literally the most unenthusiastic use of the word great that I’ve ever heard. What’s wrong, chum?” Thomas asked. “You can tell me. I promise not to overreact.”

“I don’t know. Everyone keeps asking me what happened, and I—.” The paparazzi showed up, snapping pictures with the flash on and Bruce dropped his ice cream cone, and he scraped his knee as he fell trying to get to Thomas. 

“Please, stop! You’re frightening him!” Thomas shouted in the same tone Martha used with the press. Polite and restrained despite his anger and distress. Martha had poise, and he acted in accordance with her example. He got out of his chair and held Bruce in his arms on the ground. The shutters clicking and flashing lights left Bruce shaking and crying as they closed in, trying to snap a picture of Bruce in his school uniform, and Thomas sitting on the ground. 

Alfred quickly reached up into the air and showed them his taser. Everyone quickly dispersed after that, except for the owner of the ice cream shop, who brought out an ice cream cake. “My apologies, Mr. Wayne—.” 

“It’s not your fault. I’m sorry for the ruckus. We’ll be—. Oh, no. We can’t take this. You didn’t do anything wrong to us. I’m actually sorry for the disturbance we caused—.”

“Mr. Wayne, it’s on the house. You don’t remember me, but you saved my daughter’s life once. Consider it a small token of my appreciation,” she whispered, “Would you like some help?” 

“Thank you, but I’ll be fine,” Thomas smiled.

“Brucie Bruce,” Thomas whispered in a sing-song voice, “Let’s go home and see Uncle Jacob and Aunt Gabi. Okay?” Bruce nodded, still shaking as he held onto Thomas. With Bruce holding on so tight, Thomas couldn’t get back into his chair, so he had to ask Alfred for help. 

**

Bruce, Thomas, and Martha were exhausted by the time dinner rolled around, and they all slept curled up in Thomas and Martha’s bed. Thomas woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs. “Rrrgh… Martha? Bruce?” Thomas whispered. Bruce stirred, but Martha didn’t. “Martha? Martha, honey… Your brother’s cooking in our kitchen.”

Martha pulled Bruce close to her chest in her sleep. Thomas sat up and once he got his feet planted, he leaned forward and noticed Bruce’s backpack in the path of his wheelchair. He picked it up and a note fell out. Thomas set the backpack aside and picked up the note before transferring into his wheelchair. He sat still, struggling to decipher the elementary school penmanship. It wasn’t Bruce’s handwriting, but he could tell it was another boy’s. He left the room, letting the note sit in his lap as he waited in the hallway, reading the note under better lighting. “What’s red and black and white all over? Bruce’s parents in Crime Alley…” Thomas sighed. 

Bruce stepped out of the room, rubbing his eyes before he noticed Thomas holding a piece of paper. “You have to give that back. You can’t read that,” Bruce stated. 

“I’m afraid that I’ve already read it, chum… Is this what was bothering you today?” Thomas questioned. Bruce nodded, but Thomas could look at him and tell there was something else. “And?” 

“No,” Bruce lied. 

“These kinds of things don’t upset me, Bruce. It upsets me more to think that someone is treating you badly while I’m not around. That isn’t fair. I’m a grown up. It isn’t going to bother me the way that you—.”

Martha made a noise in between a gasp and a shriek. “Bruce? Thomas? Bruce! Thomas!” Martha shouted. Before they could answer her, she burst out of the room and sank to the ground. 

“Martha, honey… Are you alright?” Thomas asked. Martha hid her face in her hands, and Bruce sat beside her on the floor. “We’re okay.” 

Martha nodded as she pulled Bruce into her lap, hiding her face in the back of his hair. “What time is it?” Martha asked. 

Thomas turned to look at the grandfather clock in the hallway. “It’s six a.m.,” Thomas answered, “Are you okay?”

Martha chuckled with her eyes shut. “We slept for twelve hours… Oh, that’s—. Should we keep Bruce home today?” Martha asked.

“Yeah. It won’t hurt to keep him home. We were all exhausted last night. Let’s take a day and spend it with family. It’s been a while since I played board games with your brother,” Thomas smiled

"the league of assassins probably didn't teach damian anything about lgbtq" is an outrageous take 😭😭😭 y'all gotta stop treating the league like a cult rather than an organization, damian knows history and politics way past the average for his age

[morgangalaxy43]

Selina getting with Bruce and Talia would be awesome and Damian would be so impressed that the cat loving thief got with his parents

[decentwinter]

SHES SO TINY.

baba’s little headache <3

[mischiefmanged-simblr]

My bersion of the batfam + Talia (Damian hasn't been born and Bruce is still an infant living with his parents) also I wasn't sure on everyone's ages so Steph Barbara and Tim are YA

Jason Todd Agere HCS

The first of many, icl. I am possessed by DC demons, I have SO MANY thoughts abt them, pls pls pls hmu w/ Prompts, I am dying to write about these little bat boys

Primarily, if not exclusively, regresses when under the influence. The man is so repressed and afraid of his regression that the one of the only ways he can properly slip into his headspace is when he's drunk/high/etc.

Experiences a LOT of impure regression. Sometimes it's little imperceptible things like accidents after nightmares, so at first he brushes it off as a trauma response (which, technically it is but he doesn’t know that yet) or just a lack of bodily control that comes with revival. It slowly evolves into deep, complete regressive episodes when faced with heavy injury, fear toxin, or when he's home and safe after mission.

To expand on the previous point, he has enough control to keep from slipping during fights/high adrenaline situations, but the second his mind and body register genuine safety (ie. arrival at one of his personal/hidden safe houses or Roy's/a close friend's) he plummets into littlespace.

His close friends aren't overly jarred by it, Jason's always been a little softer, a little more sensitive after rough mission. He always meticulously checks them all over first, only allowing them to give him the same treatment once he's certain all immediate needs have been attended to. It's not their place to judge if over the months that softness has evolved from wordless whimpers and silent tears to soft babbles and tiny acts of self soothing.

If digging through his duffle and shoving a familiar stuffed bear into his arms keeps him from wiggling and whining as they attend to his wounds, just as he did theirs not 5 minutes earlier, who are they to look a gift in it's mouth? It's not like rougher, in-field Jason would take to being patched up all that better.

The process would be laced with fussing all the same, whimpers swapped for strings of curses and flinches traded for Jason brashly pulling away, insisting he could do it better himself. At least this way they can be sure his reactions are signs of genuine pain and discomfort rather than scorn and judgment for their first aid abilities.

He would genuinely rather die again then let any of his family know about his regression and makes it an active point to hide it from them, even at the expense of his health and wellbeing.

Idk much abt Steph but I think she, if anyone, would be the only one to pick up on it. I also think she's the best person of the bats to figure it out, because unlike the others who would confront him about it head on and probably scare him off, I think Steph would soft-launch her awareness of Jason’s regression.

It wouldn't be baby-talk and piles of presents. It would be keeping a few spare kids items in her pouches, a tiny teddybear, a pacifier, lollipops. Things she could easily brush off as occupational necessities.

He has almost NO gear on his own. He has the bear Talia gave him when he was first looking after him. (Before she'd thrown him into the pit back when his mind was too frazzled to recognize or comprehend most of his surroundings. When all he could rely on was his senses for comfort. She picked up on this quickly, flooding the boy with soft scents of cinnamon and nutmeg, cardamom tea, fluffy teddy bears and blankets.)

Aside from the bear all he has is a teether, a busted up old thing. It had water in it at some point, he'd found it in the clearance aisle of a Duane Reade, cheap enough to justify to himself. He'd muttered something about it being good to have for keeping toddlers quiet.

It' hadn't lasted a night in the package before he was gnawing at it, suckling on it, finally satiating the desire to nurse his thumb that he refused to indulge.

The teether had made it all of two weeks before he'd worn it out, busting it amidst a particularly bad crying fit. It only made him cry harder, and while he knew logically he should’ve tossed it the second it broke but he couldn't bear to part with his only other comfort item, and he knew he didn't have the stomach to try replacing it.

That it's for nowwww, pls gimme other characters to do!! I love writing abt them, I could honestly do another dump of just Jason hcs, I have so many thoughts about these little bat boys
