#i'm sure somewhere out there there's dick grayson pre-crisis saying bruce is like a father to him

thinking about compiling screenshots of golden/silver age batman exclusively calling dick his ward to combat the allegations that it was “initially a father-child relationship”
#dc
#batman
#brudick
#i don’t even ship it
#i think i'm still mad at the poll when people were trying to refute the brudick points
#by saying shippers are also biased and ignoring the history and that it really was a familial relationship early on
#me the only asshole on this website enough of dumbass to try to read early batman “no it fucking wasn't”
#if you hate the ship fine but don't back up your argument with complete lies
#the pro-brudick camp has receipts which gives them way more validity than the haters
#i'm sure somewhere out there there's dick grayson pre-crisis saying bruce is like a father to him
#there's so many comics and i've barely scratched the surface
#but i did read both the first golden age compilation book of batman and silver age world's finest compilation
#and neither of them say anything like that
#and no “his ward dick grayson” is how he's called constantly it's one of the stock phrases in the ever present narration
#early comics fundamentally didn't understand they were a visual medium and are full of very tedious and unnecessary text panels
#and to be fair each issue needed to function as an intro to someone who had never heard of batman and robin before so
#“and his ward dick grayson”
#every damn time
#their relationship was adult man and his plucky kid sidekick he inexplicably hangs out with
#which doesn't make sense and doesn't parallel to real life real social interaction
#but neither does a man going in a batsuit to fight crime
#and the out-of-universe explanation is because this comic was aimed at kids who were supposed to project onto dick grayson
#and the kids want to be batman's kid-partner not his kid-son
#it's not that complicated this trope still exists today
#kid who should not be here but is because it's a kids' show/book/movie/etc
#i stg i'm gonna become a brudick shipper out of spite at this point
#and WHILE I'M COMPLAINING i am also going to be mad at the people who get all up-in-arms
#about all the evil heroes doing child endangerment on their poor abused sidekicks
#should there be kid heroes? no but cape comics would suck without them so stop complaining and enjoy yourselves
#RL vigilantism is also always bad stop bringing real world standards into this they don't apply
