Working on a batfam line up, playing about with a new style and a new lineart pen. Oh, and also a halftone pen, though you can only fully notice it it’ll you zoom in ngl

I have a few others I want to add, including Cass, Harper, Duke and Jason, but I just realised I almost never draw Bruce lol

Also, my commission slots are fully open now, my dms are open if you want to ask anything about them!

I just realised it’s flipped, so my signature is back to front 😭

Seriously, am I the only one here who enjoys the Batgirls solo series? Look, I know it's not perfect: some jokes don't land, the characterization isn't always 100% but no, that doesn't make it "The worst comic book ever", "Mein-Kampf-by-way-of-The-Room" or other such rubbish! It's a really good, enjoyable action romp where Cass, Steph and Babs get to let loose, kick-ass, take names and have fun. I just feel that Batgirls and any other Batfam book with Cass Cain are held to such idiotic and impossible standards all because of one-ONE horrible storyline that happened YEARS AGO! You know? Robin: One Year Later? That monstrosity where Cass is turned into a moustache-twirling, Bond baddie reject who makes together-we-can-rule-the-world villain speeches.

To this day, Cass-Cultists will continuously, pointlessly trash the Batgirls solo and Cass-starring Batfam stories all because they can never get over that horrible storyline! To Cass-Cultists: to loosely quote an animated fairy-tale queen, just...let it go already! I love Cass, adore her. I get it, you had to live through terrible stuff-the said turn-to-evil, the editorial-mandated erasure of her-but to be so obsessively bitter, angry at Robin: One Year Later to the point where you forget to have fun with comic books? (a medium based entirely around fun!) and let it defy all future Cass stories, regardless of their actual merits? *sighs*

Maybe I'm speaking as a more lax casual Cass fan here, but please, if we can memory-hole reviled stuff like Beast Machines, The Next Mutation, the worst of either Marvel's Ultimates or DC's New 52 then I'm sure we can forget Robin: One Year Later ever happened. It's that easy! Look, you have every right to like or dislike any stories, just please move on and stop being this guy:

It's just not cool. (TW: around 2:37 the annoying jerk uses a problematic term but, luckily, is called out on it.)

hiding under your dad's cape when it's pouring outside can be something very special + bat-rain-poncho, several years later

The batfam trauma candy salad would go absolutely insane.

Dick: Hi. I'm Dick Grayson and when I was 8 I watched my parents fall to their death in front of me, then I had to move away from everything I love and spend the rest of my life in some weird American city. And I brought the sour gummy worms.

Jason: This is so stupid- my mother used to kick me out when he drug dealer would come over so I didn't see her spending our very small amount of money on drugs.

Steph *off screen*: what did you bring?

Jason: nerds.

Cass: I was raised to be a weapon, a murderer. I brought peach rings.

Steph: I'm Steph and My dad was an alcoholic who thought he could go head to head with batman and outdo the riddler. And I brought Reese's pieces.

Tim: I'm Timothy Drake Wayne and I had left the house to try and find some guy before he killed my dad, just for him to kill my dad when I was gone. I brought sour rainbow strips.

Duke: My parents are in a mental ward, high on joker toxin. No one knows if they'll ever get better. And I got m&m's.

Damian: I am a highly trained assassin and-

Steph: cut. Cut. Damian. Civilian identities. Ok. Restart.

Damian: My mother randomly dropped me on some weird man's doorstep when I was ten. I brought rock candy.

Headcanon that since Jason can’t go out with his family publicly, what he does instead is show up in random disguises.

Bruce is chatting up some socialites at a gala, talking about the joys of fatherhood and how rewarding it is. Meanwhile he made eye contact with Jason disguised as a waiter twenty minutes ago, and is currently trying to stop his eye from twitching.

Dick is speaking to a third grade class as a part of the Bludhaven Police department outreach program, except when he walks in Jason is sitting behind the teachers desk, playing the role of substitute.

Babs can’t help but stare when Jason hands her a coffee from behind the counter of her favorite coffee shop. (His name tag reads Peter, and for a second she thinks she’s actually lost it).

Tim walks into Wayne Towers one day and on his way in, he waves to his secretary- lo and behold Marjorie has been replaced by Jason. It takes him three hours to notice.

Cass walks into ballet class to discover her teacher had to take a sick day- his replacement is Jason in a beret who talks in a terrible French accent the entire class, only to drop it at the very end to talk in a thick New Jersey accent. Her entire class talks about it for weeks.

Stephanie hails a cab on her way home one night, only to find Jason driving. She’s not sure how he pulled it off or how he got a cab, but her mind is effectively blown.

Duke is on a school trip to the natural history museum, and when the tour guide introduces himself, Duke can’t help but role his eyes. Jason gives a surprisingly good tour, even throwing in some tidbits about a robbery that went down just last week that the Signal stopped.

Damian’s encounter happens when he’s with Jon in metropolis. He’s watching Jon play baseball, and when Jon steps up to bat, he can’t help but notice a the umpire looks a little familiar.

Did some Cass Cain drawings before sleep

All my comms are open, if you or anyone you know wants any art/ writing comms, let me know!

For this piece, I played around with a random Bob, then went with her spirit world design, which is a comic I am OBSESSED with. I need to draw Constantine/ Xanthe, but also I desperately want to draw nimona lol

In Bruce's phone, he keeps the contact photos for all his kids as their baby pictures (or the closest approximation that he has).

Dick's is a photo of him when he'd first designed his Robin costumes, smiling ear to ear as he proudly showed off his first hand-sewn prototype.

Jason's is a picture Alfred got of the boy sitting on Bruce's shoulders while they went over a case.

Tim is him fast asleep in the middle of taking notes on his first real mission (he wanted to impress Bruce really bad).

Damian is a polaroid he got from Talia of him when he was about a year old, teething on a mango seed as he sat on the floor of his mother's room.

Cass is entirely blacked out except for her big bright eyes that can be seen in the darkness-- Bruce thinks it's the cutest photo ever.

Even Babs has hers set to a photo of her with her first computer, grinning happy as she probably hacked into a federal database somewhere. He got that photo from Jim.

Likewise, of course, Alfred's (very bareboned) smartphone that he barely uses has Bruce's contact set with a photo of him playing in the snow as a little boy.
