the fact that alfred was the one to put up jason's memorial is so important to me
#alfred's military background and his sudden shove into parenthood are things i think about a lot#alfred using the term 'soldier' as something honourable. as something to take pride in.#alfred putting 'a good soldier' on jason's plaque to show his care#the voice in bruce's head referring to his children as his soldiers sounding suspiciously like alfred's#bruce initially refusing to acknowledge jason's existence after his death bc it's the only way he can keep going#& alfred saying 'i will not let you do this. if you will not acknowledge him in your daily life i will make you do so every night'#because alfred doesn't know how to acknowledge the absence of a child either#besides going about your life and praying hoping wishing that they return somehow safe and sound#but he knows how to honour fallen soldiers.#and he will help you in the only way that he can.#sorry i just have so many thoughts about this#(justice league 19)#alfred pennyworth#jason todd#red hood#bruce wayne#batman

Wayne Gala Event in which Jason is still publically deceased:
Journalist: Would you say you’ve been trying to fill the void that grieving your second son left with all of the new children you’ve adopted over the years?
Bruce, staring at Jason “legally dead” Todd, inching away from the snack table with half of its contents: uh. I would definitely say there is a void being filled.
#Jason enjoys not having to speak to anyone at Galas but still getting to reap the benefits of catering#they ask him every time if he wants to return to the public eye and he puts it off as long as possible#tim is bitter as the one with the most publicity other than bruce#batman#jason todd#batfam#bruce wayne#red hood#robin#tim drake#batfamily#tired dad Bruce Wayne#his kids torment him often

Well, I’ve read both those stories now, and as far as I can tell, Hal’s main contribution is griping at Booster Gold.
I know that even most people who have read The Return of Bruce Wayne cannot summarise it for you and just sort of squint and say ‘things happened. Hopping through time’. And even fewer have read Time Masters: Vanishing Point, even though that’s the significantly superior title about saving Bruce from the timestream. And so the fandom’s working knowledge of what happened to Bruce and how he got back is ‘Tim found evidence he was alive and the Justice League pulled him out of the timestream’.
Which. Uh. Isn’t entirely wrong but elides over several significant points.
But watching people assign blame over people not believing Tim through this process, especially when it’s clear that they haven’t touched any of these titles?
Go on. Summarise for me what involvement you think say Hal Jordan had in this entire series of events.
I promise you, what you think you know is not actually what happened.
Unless you’ve actually read what I mention above.
#batfam#brucequest#hal jordan#the return of bruce wayne#time masters vanishing point#honestly most of what they’re doing is just running around in time getting caught up in other stuff#and does not contribute to getting bruce back#i guess that’s just a hazard of time travel

Instead of: Batman leaves Jason alone with Sheila in Bosnia
I give you: Batman leaves Jason alone at the checkout line to go grab the milk he forgot
#In both scenarios he comes back with Tim#That would be so funny though#Imagine Alfred is busy and sends Bruce to the shop to get milk#And Bruce returns with a scrawny Timboy#And the worst part is that Bruce didn’t even bring any milk home#OR#Or or he returns with both. One hand has a jug of milk and one hand holds a child#Alfred: What is this???#Bruce: …milk.#batfamily#batfam#batman#bruce wayne#dc#jason todd#Tim drake#stalker Tim#Robin!jason#headcanons#batfamily headcanons

Thinking a very normal amount about Tim being joker junior.
Thinking about Jason dying and Tim becoming robin out of necessity.
Thinking about Bruce not noticing Tim has been kidnapped because surely, surely his parents would file a report. Surely Tim must have been dragged into going on a trip with them and just didn’t mention it.
Thinking of Bruce not questioning things correctly because he is too busy grieving the previous robin.
Thinking of Bruce just thinking Joker Junior is a random kid.
Thinking of Barbra being the one to notice instead.
Thinking of Barbra consoling Tim after he kills the Joker.
Thinking of her taking Tim and letting him heal in the Drake estate.
Thinking of a file Bruce Wayne makes called Joker junior, one that Tim never looks at, that talks about a kid who killed the Joker and has been missing ever since.
Thinking of, months later, when robin returns to Bruce’s side, it just so happens to coincide with the return of Jack and Janet.
Thinking of Tim thinking Barbra must have told Bruce, but he just never came to see him. And that’s fine, because it isn’t as if they are family, Tim is just here to make sure Bats doesn’t go off the deep end again.
Thinking of Barbra not telling Bruce, because surely he already knows, he’s the world’s greatest detective. Plus she isn’t one to talk about other people’s trauma when they aren’t around.
Thinking of Tim hiding his laughter, because Batman would never let him keep patrolling if he knew he was still having fits.
Thinking of Dick not being there most of the time, and when he is, he mostly spends it arguing with Bruce.
Thinking of Tim knowing that Dick must know because he hears them fighting about the joker being dead once, although he did leave pretty soon after when he feels the laughter bubbling up in his throat.
Thinking of Jason coming back, attacking him at the titains tower, and telling him that he’s read all his files and knows everything about Tim. Obviously Tim takes this to mean he knows that Tim killed the joker as JJ. Because why wouldn’t that be in his file.
Thinking of Jason not having time to question when the little Robin who replaced him starts manically laughing once he sees him, because as soon as he hears the familiar laugh the green takes over completely.
Thinking of Tim finally feeling in control of himself, but then worst year ever happens. His parents are dead, Bruce is lost in the time stream, all his friends are dead, Robin is stolen from him, and everyone thinks he is crazy. He starts to relapse.
Thinking of Tim actually going a little bit crazy after that, trying to clone Bart and Kon, joining the league of assassins, doing all those crazy things he did during worst year ever.
Thinking of Cass learning after saving Tim from the daughter of Acheron. There isn’t much he can do but explain after she witnesses one of his fits.
Thinking about years later, when everyone has relationships more akin to Batman: Wayne family adventures, Tim still feels a little out of the group.
Thinking of everyone getting mad when he talks about the Joker, especially if it’s in front of Jason.
Thinking of Tim going silent or making himself scarce everytime the Joker is mentioned.
Thinking of a Tim who finds an excuse not to go out when Harley Quinn is.
Thinking of a Tim who hasn’t had an episode in years.
Thinking of a Tim who watches Jason get all this support for his trauma, while he doesn’t.
Thinking of him going to Barbra or Cass anytime he has a set back because they are the only ones who seem to care.
Thinking of a Wayne family who doesn’t know.
Thinking of a Tim who Knows they Know, but they just don’t care.

Bruce: I pissed off Jason to the point he decided to take out stitches in my uniform… it fell apart as soon as I put it on
Dick: That’s the thing with pissing off a ‘dead’ man. He’s got nothing but time

Roy- Listen to me. You're new, so you might not know this yet, but what's the worst thing about dating a Wayne?
Bernard- Uhh, Bruce's shovel talk?
Roy- No.
Bernard- The late hours they're always working?
Roy- No.
Roy- You'll never be able to steal their clothes.
Roy- They all steal each other's clothes and no one knows what belongs to who half the time.
Roy- I swiped Bruce's housecoat last Christmas because I thought it was Jason's and I still can't look him in the eye
#batman#batfam#bruce wayne#jason todd#bernard dowd#roy harper#jayroy#timber#timbern#batfam incorrect quotes#roy still has the housecoat#he cant work up the nerve to return it#and jason thinks its too funny to do it for him

I find the fact that the confrontation at the end of UTRH is often summarized as Jason asking Bruce to kill the Joker for him fascinating.
Because that's not what happened.
Jason holds a gun up to Joker's head, gives Bruce another, and tells him that if Bruce doesn't do something (shoot Jason), he will kill Joker.
Jason doesn't give the gun to Bruce so that he would shoot Joker. He isn't expecting Bruce to pull the trigger on the clown. He's asking Bruce to do nothing. To be inactive. Because that will still be a choice, and despite having done nothing, everybody clearly agrees that Bruce would still, at least in part, be responsible for Joker's death.
...And to me, this moment is a kind of- microcosm, of the rest of Jason's point. Because after being captured and carted off to Arkham, the villain will escape again, and will kill more people. The only way to truly prevent that from happening would be to kill them; Bruce refuses to do so, and I respect his right to choose such a thing for himself, but it is still a choice, and if we agree that Bruce's inaction during the confrontation would leave him at least partly responsible for the Joker's death, then we must also agree that his inaction in permanently preventing the Rogues from killing more people means he is also, partly, responsible for all of those deaths.
#my dc posting#batman#dc#bruce wayne#jason todd#joker#uhh is this like analysis or meta#anyway. to me this is the message that scene sends#if we say bruce doing nothing would mean he assisted in the murder of joker then bruce doing nothing about the villains means he is also#responsible for those deaths#ANYWAY yes b4 you come at me;;#bruce's belief in rehabilitation and that everyone can get better is central to his character#and i love it and no i dont actually think he should kill the rogues or whatever#but the question there is. Are you fine with the future victims your decisions will cause?#Are their lives worth the slim chance any of these people will get better?#batman says yes theyre worth it. red hood says no theyre not.#thats the fundamental moral difference there#its why jason challenges the batman status quo#which is why he cant be harnessed well after his initial return bc comics can never truly escape that status quo#anyway i sure am having some thoughts for someone not that smart so if you disagree please tell me!!! just be civil or ill just block you <#...anyway this is another thing BTAS succeeds in bc i always feel like yes these villains do deserve yet another chance#despite what theyve done. bruce's belief in them doesnt feel stupid and naive#its abt what you yourself can live with. bruce can live w the deaths of the ppl the criminals he doesnt get rid of kill#and jason can live with killing those criminals and preventing further victims

Possessed Pearl's
You know how in some ghost stories sometimes its not a person or a land that's haunted but the items?
Well what if, when looking for a mother's day gift for his mom, Danny is looking around a pawn shop and finds a necklace, it's missing some pearls but it's just enough to pass off as a decent gift. Danny humms but decides against it and goes to leave it....
That was until he gasped out blue frost and spots a ghostly woman appear out of the necklace with a somber smile. She isn't as seeable as the other ghosts in Amity though, meaning she doesn't have enough ectoplasm on her own (that might change the longer she's in Amity and around Danny though) and that right now only Danny can see her.
And Danny well... hes been doing his hero gig for a bit now, might go and ask if there was anything he can do to help.
And later Danny's good deed... bites him back. Oh boy. Because now he has the Bats looking into Amity Park... Wait what do you mean Martha is now strong enough to be seen?!
#danny phantom#danny fenton#dp x dc#crossover#blue rambles#writing ideas#random idea#danny phantom dc#dpxdc#Martha Wayne necklace#her ghost got stuck to it in her panic of being dead#this piece of necklace was the one cops took for evidence and was meant to return to Bruce#but lets say crooked cop decided to.... pawn it off#so it got lost before Bruce could even try to track it down#he found other pieces and replaced the lost ones but still#Martha soul has been attached to the pearls for years now and has kinda resigned herself to this fate#she knows her son is doing well from the stories shes managed to hear but not everything#she also knows at least Thomas is with Bruce#but what she didnt except after all these years for a boy who looks so strikingly like a teenage version of Bruce to come help her#Danny is gonna help... only to have it bite him in the butt#because once he delivers the necklace to Bruce it might turn his sights to Amity#Martha is the one that tells Bruce about Danny after finding out he's Batman btw#the kind ghost boy who has ghost hunter parents and the giw and the creepy godfather who cloned him and-#Martha is a mother. remember that.
