Actually no, but I see why you’d think that!! I got inspired from a few Junji Ito stories and was like “this would be a fun concept” ! I also like the semi sentient parasite theme that a lot of DC and Marvel are working on! I figure it would be fun if it wasn’t so much a symbiotic relationship but more parasitic in nature! I’m so happy you like her, I HAVE to find time to draw her more! ❤️❤️❤️

I wanted to do a more cartoony Batman The Animated Series version of Magdalena! Her last name being Seymore is a direct (if misspelled) reference to Little Shop Of Horrors!

In Batman The Animated Series Magdalena would be a hairdresser trying to make an ultimate conditioner and accidentally bringing her hair to life after a vile is infected with spores from a meteorite! Idk her Suicide Squad backstory is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT but I wanted it to be sillier for this!

I think it’s really funny how Tim had at least one parent besides Bruce (who was not explicitly his parent for the longest time) for most of his time as Robin and yet nobody contests that he has been Bruce’s son, Dick’s brother, etc. since far before his actual adoption. But with Duke it’s a whole debate every time.

“Duke’s parents are still alive so it’s disrespectful” Tim’s stepmom was alive but unable to take care of Tim, when he was adopted by Bruce. Is it disrespectful to her to say Tim is Bruce’s son? Or does this argument only apply to Duke?

“Bruce didn’t adopt Duke, he was just his guardian” Do you know who else Bruce also didn’t adopt for his entire childhood? Or is Dick no longer Bruce’s son in any way whatsoever?

“Dick actually called Tim his brother” Jason’s included Duke as one of his brothers.

Imagine if Captain Marvel dressed up for Halloween as Kratos from God of War! I headcanon that Captain Marvel is around 8"5 and was having a hard time figuring out a costume that would work for his height and figure, until I remembered the the dutch giant Olivier Richters (7"2) did a cosplay of Kratos! (Eugene bribed him to do it)

(The Justice League having a normal Halloween party.)

Captain Marvel coming in looking like he's ready for war and bald: ...awwwww why didn't anyone else dress up? :(

The entire Justice League with their weapons out: CAPTAIN MARVEL??!?!!

Captain Marvel: Hi! :3

Black Adam destroying Fawcett City: HaHAAh! Were is your hero now? Hiding in a corner, too scared to face me!

Captain Marvel in costume looking unrecognizable: Black Adam stop this instant or else!

Black Adam: Haaha Captai- WHAT THE HELL! What are you wearing?!??

Captain Marvel: It's my butt kicking outfit!

The actual god Kratos who entered the divine group chat: Rip his head from his body!

Jason's my fav, clearly. so ofc the fan character will interact w my favs

While I do ship this nonsense ass couple together, I'm sequestering it to exactly one universe (ESPECIALLY FAR, FAR SEPERATE from the Robin!Idan au). Cause A, Idan has a whole thing going where he's fated to be alone forever for Plot Reasons meaninh this particular Idan got extremely lucky. And B, Idan would otherwise not want absolutely Anything to do with the Bats, even with Jay's non-placement among them. That's like asking for trouble and to get his whole operation busted.

theres an alt with jay + domino mask but the version with the text bubbles os just??? missing lighting??? so heres this instead

rdj the (whitewashed) electric boogaloo

This is a reminder to everyone who's excited about RDJ's casting as Doctor Doom that this casting is whitewashing. Victor Von Doom is a Romani character and has been a Romani character since his introduction in the 1960s. (Fantastic Four Annual #2 [1964]) Not only that, but his Roma identity and the persecution he and his family faced due to it is integral to his character, it is what forms his identity. (Books of Doom by Ed Brubaker) Even if on the off chance this casting is meant to not be Victor but instead be some variant of Tony or whomever else becoming Doctor Doom, it is damaging to the character to rob him of that important cultural background. Doctor Doom does not exist without that history. Fans have been pushing hard to cast Doom as a Romani actor for years, especially since the MCU has whitewashed other Romani characters. (Wanda, Pietro, etc) This casting is not a celebration moment, it's fucking heartbreaking that the MCU repeatedly ignores the important and nuanced cultural backstories of characters.

I know I can't change anybody's mind on whether or not you want to be excited about RDJ's return to the MCU. But I do think at the very least you should be mad that the MCU is baiting us all and destroying nuanced and interesting characters for the sake of self-referential easter eggs and nostalgia bait. Because that's what it is. Feel how you'd like to feel about RDJ's return, but personally, this is soul-sucking. I had such a deep love for the MCU as a teenager, it was obviously something incredibly formative to me, especially Tony Stark. This isn't recreating what I fell in love with the MCU for. This is turning a well-planned and artistic storyline of adaptations into cheap cash grabs and fan service. Because, I think we're past the point of being able to call the MCU an adaptation of anything. They can use existing characters' names and powers, but to say they're being properly adapted is laughable.

This is not an adaptation of Doctor Doom. This is RDJ the Electric Boogaloo because Marvel's fear of losing the interest of dedicated MCU fans overrides their willingness to tell stories that are genuine to the characters. I don't know what there is to be excited about that. The MCU has lost its authenticity and aside from a few projects, feels heartless. Every movie is a copy of a copy. This announcement isn't something celebratory, it feels like a death knell of a cinematic universe that's so desperate to cling to relevancy it's resorting to nostalgia for a character/actor who hasn't even been dead for a decade. We're not getting anything new, we're just rinsing and repeating the same song and dance.

I get it. I love Tony Stark, his death destroyed me and I to this day, rue the ending he got in Endgame. It misunderstood his arc and it robbed him of a satisfying conclusion. But the solution to that isn't dragging the corpse out of the grave five years later to whitewash an existing character with rich and interesting nuance, just to forcibly tie his existence in the MCU to Tony. Whether he is a variant or not. Why would you want someone else's fave's legacy to be destroyed simply so your fave's legacy can go on? Hell, if we were really all so hellbent on the return of RDJ and/or Tony to the MCU, we have the multiverse for a reason. There were other ways to do it that didn't whitewash and ruin someone else. This just. Isn't something to be happy about.

i've seen a lot of dp fans in the dpxdc fandom talk about not having access to comics so here. it's completely free, good quality scans (for most things), basically any dc comic you could want is there. you should have an adblocker but the ads aren't the worst if you don't, just noticeable and annoying. you're not gonna get a virus, i've been using the site for years, as have many other fans.

if you genuinely want to read the comics, take advantage of the sites comic fans have been using. there's new and old stuff and everything in between. crossovers too. whatever you want to read, you'll find there.

I love Steph's origin as told in the Secret Origins 80 page giant- I just overall think it strengthens her character by giving her a lot of pathos and adding to her heroism (which isn't something writers were focused on in her actual intro in detective comics #647 since she was just meant to act as a plot device back then) BUT there is one tiny detail in it i will begrudge, and that is the portrayal of her having a minor love at first sight moment for tim

Secret origins 80 page giant, ID in alt

(or well, technically this was their second meeting in that story (the brick was the first) so...love at second sight?)

Mostly because Stephanie showed no interest in her introduction and only showed romantic feelings towards Tim AFTER this moment here:

Robin (1993) #4, ID in alt

Straight up the progression here goes:

The adventure in 'tec where they first meet -> Tim investigating the same crime scene as Steph -> she beats him up not knowing it's him at first, apologizes but says he shouldn't have scared her -> he remembers her/the moniker she goes by -> they talk about plot for a few pages -> Stephanie starts flirting

Robin (1993) #4, ID in alt

Which...is so fascinating to me and says so much about Stephanie. She highlights the fact that Tim "remembered" her. Like. Steph. Girl. This is our bar? It's sweet but kind of speaks to how much Stephanie is ignored at home/how little and sporadically she's shown interacting with her peers (and rarely ever the same kids twice). Her idea of peak romance is just...being on someone's mind even when you're not there.

Kind of also adds layers to Steph's proclivity towards jealousy later on, a manifestation of her insecurity and loneliness (though don't get it twisted, she's not written this way bc Dixon and co think it's an interesting character flaw, they wrote it bc they think it's an inherent character flaw of (particularly young) women/girls, which is very apparent in how he approaches Ariana's character as well from what I've read)

Also the fact that Steph becomes so smitten for Tim almost immediately after this is (a few issues later she aggressively flirts with him during AN ACTIVE HOSTAGE SITUATION. WHERE SHE'S THE HOSTAGE) again is kind of a mixture of kind of funny and sad. One boy is nice to her once and she's fully ready to wife him. Girl you are deranged (affectionate) (concerned)

[martyrbat]

for when dc releases a new comic that mischaracterizes him again AND the humiliating ordeal of telling ppl that arent your mutuals that bruce fucking wayne aka mr cashcow is your favorite character

[lowpolyshadow]

if i think too long about it, i start to prefer like. sonic as batman over shadow (not backstory and setup wise but methodology and belief system wise) but i wont think that hard and instead enjoy my super sonic superman delusions

[trekkele]

I do think its funny when someone says “oh the fans make everything about the batfam” as if thats a fanon thing and not something DC did. Like. As a Batman fan, DC keeps sticking bats where they dont belong in an effort to sell more. This is a real thing the fans did not do.

Danny Temple you will always be famous to me. also your unnamed twin brother that showed up in exactly 3 panels

Hey what's your thoughts on Constantine in the new Batman beyond series ?

In Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic? It's a cute story, and the art is stunning (Max Dunbar on art and Sebastian Cheng on colors, 👍👍). My general opinion on anything DC!Constantine as a newbie-Vertigo-Constantine-enjoyer is that it just...doesn't feel like Constantine. Like I understand his role in the story as a parallel mentor to Kyle in the way Bruce is to Terry, and it's all well written. DC Constantine and Vertigo Constantine were never meant to be the same. But the Constantine I've come to enjoy just isn't this character.

A Constantine that suavely saves a kitten boy from being beat up by big bullies with magic? Vertigo Constantine is a loser infamously bad at fist fights. A Constantine that steals children to keep himself alive? I get that Batman Beyond is about the rot of characters like Bruce becoming jaded in a futuristic world- growing harsher and desperate to continue their missions. But it does feel a bit like a betrayal of character, when the Vertigo Constantine I read protected kids from occult stuff even if he isn't exactly paternal.

And Constantine being straight-up a magical person? Idk, I felt his "superpower" was always his silver tongue more than being able to do exorcisms or being a powerful warlock. But I get that's the mythification of a character meant to stand out amongst traditional superheroes in DC. So overall, I get it, but it's a struggle to enjoy when Vertigo Constantine has more vulnerability and depth. And he's more unique that way.

Also Constantine being around Batfam just doesn't sit right with me lol like Vertigo!Constantine is so Eat The Rich and Anti-Royalist, I feel he would hate being around the Prince of Gotham. And in versions where Bats works with the cops? Even worse, Constantine is explicitly an ACAB believer, they're just not a good fit to me the way they are.

Bruce: another day volunteering at the gotham vigilant shift. everyone keeps asking me if they can fuck the clown. buddy, they wont even let me fuck it

They're having their cigarette break. It's been a long day and they've just hopped off panel for five minutes while the DC writers currently pretend they know what they're doing, bringing in the next arc.

Clark [thoughtfully]: Didn't they have you guys, like, die together in a pool of blood shaped like a heart?

Bruce [exasperated]: They also had your wife tell you WE'RE married!! How does my character manage being so GAY and yet so UNFUCKABLE--

goodnight sweet prince

one of my favorite phenomena i see often is "dpxdc" fanfiction but its literally just a dc fanfiction where the author has an oc named danny. they can look entirely different, they can be a different gender, they can have zero relations to the dp universe or ghosts or any of his whole shebang, have a different last name and a different origin timeline, doesnt even have to be the main character, anything, but as long as the op is like "no dude trust me its technically danny fenton" its like. considered a dpxdc fic. im not saying this is a bad thing im saying its fucking hilarious

[arabian-batboy]

Just got hit with the realization that Batman and Robin (2023) will be the first comic to have Damian be fully stationed in Gotham City since the previous B&R book ended in 2015. Every other on-going book he had since then either had him traveling the world while barely touching Gotham or San Francisco for some reason (Teen Titans).

So that’s 8 whole years without (the real) Robin being present in Gotham while a certain manbaby is impersonating him.
