My program crashed on me, right as I was about to finish this. I nearly cried. Thankfully it autosaved.

This was inspired by an old request and took forever. It's been a while since I did detailed shading, so I hope it looks good. I'll go pass out now✌ (Go to sleep)

Mundane Life (DamiRae fanfiction) - Letting Loose (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1450579292-mundane-life-damirae-fanfiction-letting-loose?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=AnihaTovias I have no idea what timeline it is in my story, I bet this will not make sense at all but I love Damian and Raven together so... here I go. Hope you guys like it. Credits to the real owner of the picture @chromium7sky.tumblr.com. I don't own any of the characters, credit goes to DC Damian is trying to live the most normal life-as normal as it can get with a half-demon girlfriend, his half-demon girlfriend's adopted family, his own dysfunctional family, and his totally eccentric super best friend... life can never be better. This story will be fluff and humor. A bunch of interconnected drabbles about Damian and Raven's family, and a sprinkle of little drama. Rated M for Mature Content, use of strong language.

Terry McGinnis is the only person who can be the next Batman

I don't normally make hard statements like this. I typically hate it when somebody makes hard statements like this, but hear me out.

No prior Batfamily character can be the next Batman. I'll keep it brief and explain why going person by person (obvious headcanon warning)

Dick is definitely a likelier candidate than most. He can cover for Batman if the need ever arises. But I believe that Dick Grayson hates the idea of actually becoming Batman. He can play the role. He was a circus kid and he's got the heart of a theatre kid, he can play the role all day long. But he was the first. He arguably saw Batman at his natural worst. He and Alfred, anyways. I'm going to drop some OP lore to further elaborate. My dad's a pastor. He's a really good pastor. He's a good man, and he may be an ass, but that's because I know him as "dad". For YEARS, people would tell me that I was just like him, and for a long time, I wanted to be him. It's what boys do when their dad is at the very least decent. But, as I got older, I saw the tapestry and saw the flaws. I saw how tired being a pastor made my dad. I saw how much of his life being a pastor was taking up. I would never tell my dad to stop being a pastor, because that's him. That's his calling; and if he was anything else, then he'd be a soulless, husk of a man. But I've seen what being a pastor does to you, and I don't want that. I want to be better than that. Dick Grayson has seen what The Batman does to a person. He's seen Bruce do things that Dick would never do, and the idea of being the next Batman is something that got soured to him. And it definitely doesn't help that that's what a lot of people used to do to him. So yeah, traumadumping aside, Dick would never STAY Batman. Even if he doesn't know it.

I honestly think it's best if Jason stays as far away from the idea of The Batman legacy as possible. Jason's at the best possible spot right now. He's taken his trauma and has turned it into his empowerment. I don't care what Three Jokers says, that's dumb. Joker's an ass, we don't listen to him. ESPECIALLY if he's swapped out his gun for a crowbar and has a no-kill rule, Jason could be Red Hood until he's 90 and it'll be narratively fulfilling.

Tim is one I see get thrown around a lot. However, I believe that The Batman would absolutely DESTROY him and he would be too stubborn to acknowledge it. One common denominator I believe every Robin goes through is the realization of "oh wow, Bruce is not okay" and trying to be better than that. While I do believe that Tim went through that, I also believe that Tim is arrogant enough to believe that he's better than that. Even putting all of the "alternate Tim evil gun toting Batman" futures aside, I think that Tim is obsessive enough as is. Giving him the mantle of The Batman would cause him to obsess even more to be like Bruce thus causing ANOTHER evil gun toting alternate future Batman. Tim is best as Red Robin. An independent agent that can go well with ANY Batman to keep them on the straight and narrow.

Babs is best as Oracle. No I will not be elaborating. If you want her to be Batgirl, then say that she can Batgirl every once and a while but doing it stresses out the microchip in her back.

Steph is best as Spoiler. She backdoored her way into the Batfamily by being competent enough as Spoiler. I honestly wish that she could be like Batwoman and establish herself as Batfamily adjacent and have her own supporting cast and such. If she does have one, then I'm sorry. Cassie is kind of a blind spot.

Sadly, Cassandra Cain, Duke Thomas, and Harper Row are even bigger blindspots of mine. From what I've seen of them, I can't think of any reasons they couldn't be Batman. However, I can't think of any reasons why they especially should be Batman.

Damian Wayne is my personal vote for becoming the next Batman out of everybody pre established. Not for any birthright reasons. That's dumb. Admittedly, DCeased really turned me on to the idea. I think that the idea of Damian being the child raised by Bruce that turned out the best is a really good idea. In retrospect, I guess the idea of birthright is technically why I'm choosing Damian. BUT, understand I'm doing it with the caveat that Damian is fully developed as a person and as a character. That is the END of his arc.

HOWEVER, Terry McGinnis takes the cake for me in terms of Batman successor. This is going off of the idea that he isn't a Bruce clone. I don't know how canon we've made that, but canon is relative, so I'm saying it's not for the sake of argument. Terry is an outsider. He has no baggage with the idea of The Batman. He's just a guy working through some grief with The Batman being used as a vehicle. He doesn't know any of the Bruceisms. He never had to explain to his friends that his dad is crazy and he's sorry he made contingency plans for all of them. Terry McGinnis gets to make Batman his own. And, luckily, he gets to have a fully realized Bruce to guide him along the way. I also think that it opens so much more story potential. It's essentially a soft reboot for The Batman as an idea. Everybody else can be out doing their own thing. But I think this works in the same way that Miguel O'Hara can ALSO be Spider-Man. I believe that every intimate Batfamily member would follow Bruce's footsteps by making Batman an UNHEALTHY obsession. Terry would be different, he'd lead the pack by turning The Batman into something HEALTHY.

Or maybe I don't read enough comics and all my interpretations are super surface level. Let me know. I'm willing to be wrong.

Review: Birds of Prey #18

Review: Birds of Prey #18

Writer: Kelly Thompson Art: Juann Cabal Colors: Adriano Lucas Letters: Clayton Cowles Reviewed by: Matthew B. Lloyd     Summary The assassins are coming for Sin!  Dinah and Barbara devise a trap that gives the "sisters" a chance for a "get away" weekend.  Meanwhile, more nonsense with Barda and Cassandra.

Positives Bird of Prey #18 starts out strong as Barbara gets some intel indicating that the assassins from whom Sin was liberated back in Birds of Prey Vol.1 #95 (2006) are coming to take her back.  This is a nice continuity callback by Kelly Thompson.  It's a good use of DC history.  Contemporary comics don't get this right as often as they should.  The opening pages with Dinah and Sin give some insight into Dinah's character which is appreciated and connect to the same story referenced as it ties into Dinah's fighting prowess and how she values skill in hand-to-hand combat.

Barbara's concern for her friends and development of the plan is a solid use of her role as Oracle.  Barbara responds to a call for assistance is a nice touch even if it isn't executed well.  There's some nice storytelling as Dinah and Sin communicate non-verbally as they become aware of the assassins that have surrounded their "safe house" and are preparing to attack.  This whole sequence shows that Thompson can be a good writer. Negatives Despite the very good start to Birds of Prey #18, the secondary plot with Barda and Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) is unfortunately more of Thompson's nonsense.  It's obvious that Thompson doesn't know how to handle this cast effectively.  Instead of Bara and Cass doing something worthwhile they are seen playing video games before heading off to help John Constantine.  It  makes sense for these two to have something to do while the smaller mission that Dinah and Sin are on runs, but it just seems like a weird solution to send these two on a magical mission to assist Constantine.  Thompson has tried to push this series into the magical and supernatural and it is like fitting a square peg in a round hole.  In this particular issue, it points out that Barda doesn't really fit into this friend group and Thompson has to find something for her to do, the same with Cass who's usually more of a loner.

It also demonstrates that Thompson doesn't know how to manage a larger cast effectively and make it all feel like it fits.  The plotline with Dinah and Sin is a more grounded and personal thing that fits the characters, while the mission for Constantine is just a distraction from that better plot.  Not only should Barbara have just called in some magical types to help Constantine instead of sending Barda and Cass.  This is so much wasted space for the issue that could've been used to move the Dinah/ Sin plot forward.  Thompson has done this in this series.  The Birds of Prey concept can be a tricky one to crack, it takes the right balance of action and character moments and part of that is knowing how to use the characters.  This has been a problem for Thompson throughout the series.  

I doesn't really make sense that Barda and Cass are just sitting around playing video games...waiting...for something.  I don't think this is their life.  They have other things to do.  Thompson wants to get smaller personal moments, but they have to be meaningful and it doesn't make sense that they are just sitting around...waiting.  Also, Thompson's inability to write quality humorous moments doesn't help.  Half this issue should be replaced with something meaningful instead of the nonsense.  It would be better to show actual personal moments unrelated to a mission with the pair bonding instead of playing video games. Verdict Birds of Prey #18 is a mixed bag.  Half of the issue is really good, and half of the issue is wasted.  Thompson can't write a complete issue and gets in her own way allowing the good stuff to be undermined by nonsense that has no value to the story or characters.  I had real hopes for this issue, but it's more of the same.  This series will not improve until a better writer takes over.

Child of the Knight.

Living in Gotham isn’t easy. From common criminals to the most feared lunatics ofc criminal elite, you have to be tough to survive. For some they like Cassandra Cain, she turned herself around and now fights to protect those who can’t do it for themselves. So like Batman, she stalks the roof tops and alleys saving whoever she can from facing the same life she had. Enjoy!
