Casting the Batfamily - Dick & Tim

Hi! I’m very new to the DC fandom so I may be wrong but I wanted to add my own two cents! I watched a video by Nando vs. Movies who did this, and I had some major reservations about his choices so I wanted to throw my hat in the ring! I’m doing Dick and Tim today because I have no idea for the others at this particular moment. Feel free to tell me your own fancasts! Also, I’m tired so my justifications won’t be great, I’m mostly working on vibes. (Also the pics SUCK sorry I made this on desktop)

Dick Grayson

1. Armani Jackson aka Travis from Honor Society

-this would be a Dick who’s a bit younger, probably when Jason is just becoming Robin

-in Honor Society, Travis is extremely charismatic and he’s sweet but I could see an edge to him that would require him to play Dick

-Travis in the movie kept dating a girl even though he was gay and I feel like Dick would continue to put himself in a situation like that just because it made other people happy, you know?

-He has a really good natured vibe to him that Dick has

-I didn’t originally want to put him because I don’t want well known actors, but I think he’s new enough that it really wouldn’t matter all that much

2. Hunter Doohan aka Tyler from Wednesday

-Tyler in the show is charming enough for Dick and Dick is a super charming guy

-He’s capable of playing a serious role but he has that sweetness and that feeling of loyalty to him

Tim Drake

1. Jake Ryan aka Woodrow from Asteroid City

-he’s pretty serious in this role, so I got major Tim vibes

-I’m serious, as I was watching this movie all I could think about was Tim

-so Woodrow in this movie is a genius but he also has a pretty big heart and softness to him (aka Tim)

-he’s around a good age to play Tim, the only reservation I have is the athleticism but, hey, body doubles 

-Woodrow in this movie is surrounded by adults who act like children and children who act like adults so... yeah, basically the batfam

-I see major potential here!!

-you probably don’t know who this is so I’ve enclosed a video clip from the show I’m talking about. This will be a harder sell...

2. Ali Khan aka Joshua from Everyone Else Burns

-he kind of gives me Wayne Family Adventures Tim vibes

-this would be a Tim where Damian is already part of the family and it’s post saving Bruce from the time stream

-he’s goofy but also can play a serious role, he’s afraid of letting his family down but also he can’t help but go against them when it’s important

-I know he’s not athletic or anything, and Joshua isn’t even portrayed to be a genius and it’s pretty much the opposite of my other choice, but this is a Tim who has mellowed out a bit. He’s older, he’s more hardened and cynical, but he can’t help but be a good person in spite of that

Those are my choices. Argue with me in the tags and comments. Give me your choices. I know I didn’t sell that well, but I can’t stop thinking about this!!

Bruce: Okay, Damian. You need to promise to be good for the Doctor, they’re not an enemy in disguise trying to administer poison. We’ve known her for years.

Damian: The clinic is by crime alley! She most certainly owns several firearms that she could use as soon as I’m incapacitated!

Jason, raising his pistol: Firearms?

Bruce: No, Jason, no guns. We’ve spoken about this.

Damian: Anyone could be a part of a test from my grandfather! We need to be prepared!

Bruce: It’s just a vaccine shot!

Jason, very slowly raising his pistol: ..Shot?

[poisonousliliy]

So, when will we see that weapon again btw

[forgotten-daydreamer]

The concept of the family not knowing that Jason can summon the All Blades is so funny to me because imagine they're losing and he just pulls that shit out of his bleeding chest and they're like "wait what the fuck-"

[onnahu]

No bc it's sad how Jason just loses everything original about him with time. Like his backstory - Steph. Suspicion of him being Lady Shiva's son - Cass. Dying - literally everyone. Training with the league - Tim. Killing - Tim once again. Guns - Kate. Even Lazarus Pit. Even gim stealing the tires is taken away in Batman Animated Series. His whole character is just renamed Tim. And that's as bad for Tim as it is fir Jason!

The only special thing about him at the moment is that he's got All-Blades, and the funny thing is - batfam propably doesn't even know about them.

It's sad to be Jason Todd lmao

[undertheredhood]

jason todd is much like a typical dad in the sense he will share something extremely outrageous that had happened to him/he did out of nowhere and will never speak of it ever again no matter how many times he’s asked to elaborate.

So, most of you will probably know that Jason's use of weapons is suuuper inconsistent.

Sometimes he's using guns with real bullets. Sometimes he uses rubber bullets. Sometimes he uses no guns at all. Sometimes he uses a crowbar.

Yes, his use of guns reads to me how he stands to the batfamily - but that's not what this post is about.

Some writers just really don't want him to use guns.

But because he's a vigilante, he needs an alternative. Can be hand to hand combat. Or like the aforementioned crowbar.

(If they are using this approach, I don't think they should use any basic ass crowbar that you can get from any hardware store. Make it electric, give it paint, put glitter on it, just do something with if you think "yeah, let's give this guy who was violently beaten with a crowbar, a crowbar as his main weapon")

If you really don't want him to use guns, then just bring back the All-Blades. His magic swords which he can only summon when used on an evil person.

And yes, I am aware they are only effective against magic, but it's comics, you can write the ever the fuck you want, if they'd want to, they could change it.

Like, imagine he tracks down the next big bad, has him cornered. He is about summon the blades - but he can't.

He decides "not worth my time".

The big bad? Totally offended by this.

What do you mean not worth your time?! He has planned this for months into the finest detail and now what? You just say 'nah' and leave?!

Jason punches him. Hard.

Just because he can't summon the blades, just because he isn't deemed evil enough, doesn't mean Jason can't give him a good punch.

jason todd ❤️

Look controversial take I don't know.

But hang with me here;

Aidan Gallagher (Five from Umbrella Academy) would fucking kill as Tim Drake but only a Tim Drake in a movie with atleast 3-5 other members of the Batfamily outside Batman.

Come on DC get. your. head. in the game and let's do. They're practically handing it to you at this point.
