Batfamily sorted into Hogwarts houses?

Ooohhhh a classic, I love it! Tbh I have no clue how controversial my opinions are here, like honestly each member fits several houses well. So I just went with what felt best to me, but I'd love to hear other's opinions!

First let's go over the main traits of each house, these are the traits I will be focusing on.

Gryffindor -> Bravery, daring, nerve, and confidence

Hufflepuff -> Hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play

Ravenclaw -> Intelligence, knowledge, curiosity, creativity, and wit

Slytherin -> Ambition, leadership, determination, cunning, and resourcefulness

Bruce

-> Hufflepuff: I feel like this one will be rather controversial and honestly it was pretty difficult to decide on. But I think his overall dedication to the mission is what sold it for me. Like that's one of his more consistent character traits, he values the mission above all else. And I don't think of that value or dedication as coming from a place of ambition, but rather a place of loyalty. Honestly Batman's relationship with Gotham really exemplifies both patience and dedication, at least it does in my mind. Hufflepuff is also sometimes thought of as the house that accepts all, so people who don't have a good designation can go there, which is pretty on point with Bruce adopting a shit ton of kids.

Dick

-> Gryffindor: This one might be a tad cliche, but I think that it fits. Because all of the batfam is daring and brave, but Dick takes so much joy from these traits. He’s known for defying gravity and having fun doing it. He’s also the typical confident older brother, like he definitely has insecurities but overall he’s a pretty confident guy. He’s a leader who paved the way for Robins and continues to protect the rights of young heroes. He’s known for being super protective of his family and is willing to make sacrifices for them. Also he brave enough to design a custom that had no pants and confident enough to run around in that costume.

Babs

-> Ravenclaw: Babs the oracle, she’s basically the definition of knowledge. She definitely exemplifies other houses as well but her dedication to knowledge and intelligence definitely put her in Ravenclaw for me. After being paralyzed a lot of people thought she would give up being a vigilante, but instead she turned information into a weapon and a shield. Instead of giving up she created a new and now invaluable position. She isn’t just smart, she’s clever and quick thinking, always ready for any situation.

Jason

-> Hufflepuff: Okay, so in a lot of ways Jason mirrors Bruce. He’s incredibly loyal to his home, has strict rules that he (mostly) stands by like don’t hurt kids and no abusers get no mercy (and yes I’m using the terms rules loosely here). But honestly what sold the whole ‘Jason is hufflepuff’ thing for me is how protective/kind his is of crime victims, specifically women and children. He was a crime lord who fought to for kids, who didn't tolerate abuse, and who protected prostitutes. And yeah that's all super brave and very Gryffindor-esque, but in my mind it all comes from a place of genuine kindness, and that's what makes him a Hufflepuff to me.

Cass

-> Hufflepuff: Cass is deadly, she could snap just about anyone like a twig, but she's also a complete cinnamon roll. She's a sweetheart who adores her family and, for the most part, likes people. Cass is kind and sweet and she literally booped Batman on the nose. Like if that isn't the most Hufflepuff thing, than I don't know what is. She's just the epitome of 'soft cute Hufflepuff,' but also never forget that she can easily kill you.

Tim

-> Ravenclaw: In my opinion (and I think also canonically but I'm not 100% on that) Tim is the smartest bat. Tim literally outsmarted Ra's Al Ghul and he figured out Batman's identity when he was just a child. And he's not just 'I know a lot of things' smart, he's cunning and knows how to plan for any outcome, how to out wit others, how to lie to Batman. Like in the Red Robin arc his Tim's side quest is outsmarting the league of assassins and pissing off Ras Al Ghul. That's such a Ravenclaw (and baller) move.

Steph

-> Gryffindor: Steph had the nerve to put on a purple suit, she was daring enough to hit Robin with a brick, and she was brave enough to become Batgirl even after her encounter with Black Mask. She's bold and shameless in all the best ways. Like Steph isn't the greatest fighter or most skilled bat, but she's bold and fearless and that's what makes her such a great hero.

Duke

-> Slytherin: This one took me forever to decide on, but I realized that Duke has all the smarts of a Ravenclaw and all the bravery of a Gryffindor. Traits that both fit perfectly into Slytherin. He's cunning and smart and an amazing leader and so determined. Duke lead the 'We Are Robin' movement and made his life goal to out riddle the Riddler. Honestly he's the perfect mix of smart and brave and really exemplefies the best of the Slytherin traits.

Damian

-> Slytherin: This one is a bit lack luster and a bit typical, but I do think it's fitting. He's cunning and ambitious and really values his heritage. Damian knows his life goals, he knows where his heritage can take him, and he will do anything to reach his full potential. And I do think that he has some Hufflepuff undertones, undertones that come out even more around animals and Jon, but overall he is a Slytherin.

And wowie, I'm done. This took waaayyyyyy longer than expected, so sorry for that. Honestly when I saw this ask I was like 'oh, cool, easy!' then I tried to answer and holy shit. I went back and forth so much and could not decide. So after many days and much thought this is what I ended up with. That being said I did really love this ask bc it was super fun.

Also srry if there are any typos but if I keep trying to edit this I will never finish bc I will keep changing my mind.

Zyuohger: thoughts on the series as a whole (Spoilers)

Well now that Zyuohger has officially ended, it’s time I finally got around to writing my thoughts on the series as a whole.

Story:

The story’s pretty simple, Yamato finds himself in a Zyuland, where he meets a few Zyuman, who he has to team up with and defeat the Dethgaliens from destroying Earth for their 100th Blood Game competition as the Zyuohger. I wasn’t sure how to feel about the story, but as it progressed, I grew to enjoy it, with them exploring each of the characters and the motif of everyone being connected even when they’re gone, which I feel pays off by the end of the series. I also enjoyed how since this was the franchise's 40th anniversary series, they got a two part special that was pretty well executed. Though sometimes even good shows have flaws, I feel their were a few characters that needed some development more than others and the few subplots at the end were a tad rushed (such as Yamato’s conflict with his father), but other than that, I enjoyed the story overall.

Characters:

The characters in this series are pretty interesting, with some getting a lot of development and some just having some great personalities. There’s little to no character in this series that I genuinely despise (other than a few minor characters, but that’s all they are, just minor)

Yamato/Zyuoh Eagle: After many seasons of the red senshi either being loud, an idiot or both, it was nice breath of fresh air to have someone who’s more calm and collective, I really liked how he mostly earns his powers and gain trust.

Sela/Zyuoh Shark: The second in command and one of my favorite characters in this series. She was independent, strong and someone you wouldn’t want to mess with.

Leo/Zyuoh Lion: I see most fans dislike this character, but I didn’t mind him personally, I enjoyed how he was loud and can make mistakes, but he acknowledges it and does try to become better.

Tusk/Zyuoh Elephant: The smart one and another one of my favorites. I found myself relating with him in a few ways.

Amu/Zyuoh Tiger: Sadly she didn’t get the most development, but I still found myself enjoy her when she had her moments.

Misao/Zyuoh The World: Now this is a character I found myself relating to, with how he tends to doubt himself, whenever he screws up, he feels like a failure and a burden for others. I can relate most of the time and I loved the progression of him coming out of his shell and is becoming more of a better person. 

Bard/Zyuoh Bird: The mysterious Bird Zyuman that saved Yamato’s live and gave him the Champion Symbol, I liked how we got to learn more about him and understand why he despises Zyuland for what happened to the human he tried helping out.

Mario: Yamato’s uncle and the comedy relief, one of the things I love is that he’s more than that, he gives them moral support and some great advice to cheer them up. the highlight for me was when he was taken by the Dethgaliens when they thought he was a Zyuman and he stood up to Naria, telling her not to mess with this planet, that was amazing.

Larri: A recurring character who feared humans after they ran from him, to the point of being shot by a cop, but grew to appreciate them after meeting Yamato and giving him his power to save his life. Larri is just fun to watch and I enjoy his gratuitous Spanish speaking.

Cetas: 

Villains:

Much like the characters, while they didn’t get the most development, they made up for by being both interesting and threatening. I enjoyed how these guys are unapologetic and brutal, I don’t think Sentai has seen villains this destructive in a while and I’m glad to see that again.

Genis: Genis is someone I underestimated, I felt he was gonna just sit down all day until the finale, but when he got up and took action, makes you wish he stayed in his seat cause that guy tough, my jaw dropped when I saw that and I was glad that he stayed the big bad by the end.

Naria: A character I wish had more to do since she sadly was underutilized, she mostly just served Genis his drink and gave the monster of the week a continue, there were times where she did take action but it makes me wish they did more with that.

Azald: The muscles of the team and one of my personal favorites, especially the reveal near the end where it turned out he was the being that Cetas fought long ago, which I called it.

Kubar: The brains of the group and another interesting character, I enjoyed that we learned more about his past, in how he joined Genis’s group so that he could find a way to kill him for destroying his planet and manipulating most of them to try to get his plan to fruition, even working with Bunglay and betraying him.

Bunglay: The Megabeast Hunter and one of my personal favorite characters, I enjoyed how he brought some excitement back when the series was getting a bit slow, especially with his hunt for Cube Whale and his rivalry with Yamato. My only gripe was that his defeat was a bit anticlimactic and I wished he stayed a little longer to fight Yamato one on one.

Meobas: The grunts of the series, they were pretty okay

Other:

Suits: The Zyuohger suits and mech designs were okay, though they took a while to get use to and they at least utilized their motifs in a good way. The villains suits on the other hand were amazing.

Weapons: The weapons were mostly okay, but I did like the Wahle Arm cannon, that was pretty cool.

Music: Music for the most part was pretty good, the opening them was pretty uplifting and the ending theme was fun to dance to (sad that they brought back the kids dancing only to end it after the anniversary special)

Effects: The effects in this series were pretty good  and I liked how creative they were with some neat camera shots.

Conclusion:

This series was such an amazing experience, before this series began, I was slowly losing my interest in Sentai, with some shows being disappointing (Kyoryuger) and some I wanted to like but ended up disliking (Toqger and Ninninger), so I had low expectations for this series and when I finally watched it, it reignited a spark in me and grew to enjoy Sentai again. It’s sad that this series ended up getting low sales and views cause it had a lot of good moments than bad moments, the characters were likable and I was invested in what might happen next, plus I feel the motive of us being all connected is something most of us need in our lives. This series gave me more than I could ask for and since most fans are mixed on this series, I’m gonna consider it an underappreciated series. but thankfully it isn’t over yet, we still have the movie (which I’m not sure is subbed yet, cause I haven’t seen anything from that), then the crossover with Ninninger (sigh) and then the V-Cinema which was announced after the series ended (as expected). Hope you all become connected cause next time we’re gonna reach for the stars and go to space in Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger.
