Continuing my agenda about Bruce and Jason becoming the most annoying and dramatic people after fixing their relationship, and making others roll their eyes, because, come on, we all need that. And because Bruce is as dramatic as others; he kinda technically was inspired by Zorro when becoming Batman, alright? That tells a lot.

Anyway, no thoughts, just Bruce and Jason annoying everyone with being the most melodramatic duo ever.

Jason, appearing in the Batcave out of the sudden, swaying a little: Hey Dick, worried: Hey. Are you okay? You rarely drop by like this... Jason, stopping by Bruce's armchair, dramatically slumping over: I... I came here today, because I lost my last battle... Bruce, who senses his bullshit, but plays along: Oh no, champ, what's wrong? Dick, activating mother-hen: SHOULD WE CALL ALFRED? ARE YOU- Jason, sniffling: Battle... Battle with... Loneliness. Bruce, with a short smile on his face: (theatrically puts Britney's Baby One More Time exactly on "My loneliness is killing me" line) Dick, groaning: YOU BOTH-

Jason, spawning in the middle of the day in WE, behind Bruce's back: Old man, protocol 222. Asap. You have five minutes. Bruce, standing up abruptly: Oh, okay. Bruce, with his stern father voice on: Jason, you are disowned. Jason: Fuck you!!! Tim, who was sitting in the same cabinet, watching as Jason storms off: Excuse me? Bruce: He is either watching some movie or reads a book about daddy issues, so he needs to get into a mood. Please, continue your analysis. Tim: ...What the fuck.

Duke: I was always a little curious... What was your father like? No pressure, you don't need to answer if you don't want to. Jason: Well- Bruce, popping out of nowhere: How come you don't know what kind of father I am? Duke: Oh, no, I meant Jason's biological fa- Bruce, frowning: I am his biological father. Jason, because he is no less shit: Yeah, damn, didn't want to tell others, especially to Damian, since he will freak out... But apparently Bruce had a one-night stand thing with my bio mama. It is kinda a secret. Bruce, very pleased: Yeah. It is a secret... but you can probably say that, considering how alike we look. Jason: (nods) Duke, absolutely believing this shit, because had you seen this fucking family: Oh. Ok. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Jason, beaming: Thanks, dude. That's why you are my favourite.

Why Duke Thomas Should Be A Dick Grayson Hater

Dick and Duke is such an underrated and underexplored relationship. Here is my pitch for why Duke should be a Dick Grayson hater.

1. The Rooftop Thing

Reason number one and the start of Duke's grudge should be the rooftop incident in Robin War. Dick, as part of his plan or whatever, leads Duke to a roof and abandons him to the cops.

LOOK AT DICK'S SMUG FACE. Tell me you wouldn't hold a grudge too if this was the FIRST major interaction you had with him?? Duke should use this against him at any possible opportunity.

2. ACAB

From We Are Robin #2. Once Duke finds out Dick used to be a cop, it's OVER for him.

3. Jason and Damian

Duke is quite close with Jason and Damian (in my head, particularly Damian - that's his LITTLE BROTHER). Anyway, these two are obsessed with Dick. You have Jason, with his miles-long brother issues that puts Dick on a pedestal, and you have Damian, who thinks Dick is the best person on Earth who can do no wrong. They would talk Duke's ears off about him. Duke would HATE IT.

4. Robin

This panel from Night of the Monster Men sums up quite nicely the difference in the way Dick and Duke approach vigilantism. Duke is the 'idealised' Robin, whose Robin-ing isn't contingent on Batman; Dick is more or less too tied up in Bruce. I think, because the Robin identity means a lot to Duke, having the original Robin be like this would irk Duke a LOT.

5. Tom Taylor

SPOILERS FOR CURRENT NIGHTWING RUN: in Nightwing #116, Dick gets framed for murder and Babs tells him to reveal he's Nightwing to clear him of suspicion. She says Bruce suggested it, and recounts everyone who agreed:

Hm. Is someone missing here? Oh yeah: DUKE. TT probably just forgot Duke, but where's the fun in that? Instead, if Duke is a Dick Grayson hater, you have the funniest scene imaginable. Everyone gathered in the Batcave, laying down their identities for Dick, and Duke is like 'I don't give a damn. He can rot in jail.' and peaces out.

BONUS points if he does this to get back at Dick for reason number 1.

6. Parallels

Duke's origin deliberately mirrors Bruce's, but that means it mirrors Dick's as well. Duke and Dick parallels go insane: they both had loving families, lost both parents at once, were in the foster system (varyingly for Dick but for the purposes of this post I'm gonna include it), were wards/not adopted by Bruce initially, have a huge reverence for family, have a thing about heights, view Robin as separate from Batman, forged their own identities, etc.

Tell me this page doesn't slap:

Anyway Duke would HATE this too. He'd be so annoyed that the person he has the most in common with is Dick, and that would fuel his Dick Grayson haterism.

Dick, on the other hand, has no hard feelings towards Duke. Duke would be glowering at him from the corner of the room and Dick would meet his gaze and be like 'ah Duke is so cute' and smile back. This would make Duke 10000x angrier.

Anyway that's my ideal Dick and Duke dynamic, feel free to add or modify or disagree with anything!!

Y/N, freaking out: Oh my god, Teddy!

Tim, coming from under the table: Hey, who’s Teddy?

Duke: Weird and gross.

Tim, arguing his plan to dick who just arrived from bludhaven: look it’s a great plan, I’ve thought everything through, it literally has the bat stamp of approval.

Dick: Okay but I don’t like the-

Tim, turning his notes around: no it literally has the bat stamp of approval. I got him a custom one a couple weeks ago

Dick: wait… you can execute this plan alone you don’t need me

Tim:

Dick: did you really just call me over to show off your bat stamp??

Inspired by one of my favourite panels of all time

The age old question does he hand draw them or does he have a bat stamp

[fckbatmanhiskidsareminenow]

Dick knows Bruce is jealous. He sees it when Jason comes to Dick first. He sees it when all he has to do is say Tim’s name and give him a stern look to get him to finally go off to bed. He sees it when Bruce is struggling for days to get Damian to go to school and Dick can get him up and out of the house in just a few hours. He can feel it in the way Bruce looks at him.

He understands why Bruce is jealous, how could he not? Dick doesn’t do it to one up him or to make him feel worse. They trust Dick in a way they don’t trust Bruce, that doesn’t mean they don’t trust him they just trust Dick differently.

[ky-landfill]

what if,,, baby jason and baby dick,,, at the SAME TIME?? rip bruce

[yeagerbitchh]

I like to think Dick would react like a crazy big brother when he found out about Jason and Roy getting together.

Like he'd feel so betrayed, how could his best friend and his baby bro start dating and not even tell him for months? And oh god now he'd have to see them kiss? He could never get that image out of his head. He'd have to get used to seeing Roy at the family dinners and sure Jason looked happy but couldn't it be with literally anyone else? Didn't Roy know better than to go after his little baby brother? I mean seriously he's just a baby he is not ready to be a dad. How could he take care of Lian if he can't even take care of himself and-

And that's when it hits him, that technically Jason's her dad now, given the seriousness of the relationship and the fact that he did overhear the girl calling Jason Jaydad, so Dick is oficially her favourite uncle.

He is suddently very ok with their relationship.

[psychemochanight]

If I recall correctly, canonically Dick does NOT like comments about his body, he doesn't even like compliments from his partners (that the fandom and ultimately the series *cough cough harley queen cough cough* ignore this is a separate issue).

Following this timeline, and keeping with the fact that they are in a current timeline after the whole reset thing, how do you think his social networks would be?

Honestly, I doubt he'll ever upload any pictures of himself, at least not the kind people use when they make their "fake profiles" of him for fics.

I feel like his social media would be filled with photos of places he goes, but without necessarily showing him.

Sure, there are pictures of the gym, but it's not him showing off his muscles, it's just the place.

The same goes for the restaurants where he eats, just the food, not him eating (if he sometimes uploaded photos like that just to make his friends believe that he is eating, that's his problem).

A LOT of photos of Haley.

Maybe photos of trapeze artists or his computer showing that he is watching routines, will never convince me that he doesn't keep watching more and more current programs to keep up with that.

And probably the only photos of him would be ones with friends, but no individual photos of him.

He probably has a lot more photos of himself in the "photos you've been tagged in" section than on his own profile. Because he is Bruce Wayne's son, he has a celebrity status, there will definitely be people taking photos of him from afar.

(Probably even people who don't know who he is would take pictures of him to talk about the handsome guy they saw on the street).

[emperor-neo]

I’m not sure what to label this but…

Imagine if, one day, the Batkids were all sharing stories about each other, remembering it as if Bruce had abused them. But in reality, it was just Bruce being overwhelmed by cute aggression.

Dick would recall his time as an 9yo Robin when Bruce would sometimes overcome by sheer cuteness aggression, would randomly reach over and shake his tiny head with one hand, like he couldn't quite handle how adorable Dick was. It wasn't harsh, but it felt overwhelming to Dick at the time.

Jason would remember getting painful pinches in the cheek and being told ‘you’re getting fatter chum’ by Bruce wearing a mischievous grin like a cannibal billionaire. But it’s just Bruce being proud of how he much he has grown and healthier.

How Damian would remember being rag-dolled/squished around by his father masking it as ‘training’ because Bruce knows Damian wouldn’t allow to be babied and it’s his only chance to adore his young son.

Is this under hurt/comfort idk

[shipsdoishipidk]

Slade: *crashing through the window* Dick: WHAT?!! Slade: I heard your fake father/uncle killed for you. Dick: WHO?! Wait-OWLMAN?! HE'S BACK?!! Slade: *strangling Dick* I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO'S ALLOWED TO KILL FOR YOU! Dick: WHAT THE FUCK?!

Nightwing with Superman's powers is perfection

Context: Nightwing was shown in the comics he could be awesome with Superman's power. Batman nearly killed his son with Superman's power... Bruce you have to understand why you wouldn't his powers!

Wonder Woman: Superman answer this real quick, if you had to pick one of them to have your powers whether it be for a week or life would you choose, Batman or Nightwing?

Superman (no hesitation): Nightwing. Hundred percent. A Hundred percent.

Nightwing (elated): What? Aww, thank you.

Batman (shocked): What?! Why not me?!

Superman: Be for real Bruce, you know you cannot handle those powers at all. You would go insane and do insane things. In fact, there might be a universe where you did. Plus Nightwing had my powers once and he didn't mess up with them.

Nightwing hung his head, trying to hold back tears of joy while Batman shot him a jealous glare.

Superman: You see that glare? That’s exactly why you wouldn’t get my powers.

Batman: I thought we were best buddies!

Wonder Woman: Oh, now he brings that up.

Superman: And as your best buddy, I’m definitely not going to let you do anything dangerous or hurt others.

Nightwing: Aww, that's sweet. He sees you as that close of a friend that he wants to protect you and others.

Wonder Woman (smiling): I see it now. Nightwing, if you ever get Superman’s powers, it looks like you’ve got his full approval.

Batman (grumbling): Approval, huh? Well, let’s just hope it doesn’t go to his head.

Nightwing (chuckling happily): Oh my God, thank you! I don’t even feel like I deserve this. Superman… I’m telling everyone! You’re the best!

With that, Nightwing bounded off, humming joyfully.

Superman: He really is the most warm-hearted person. Not exactly egotistical, huh, Bruce?

Batman (arms crossed): This is some bullshit.

Wonder Woman shook her head as Superman walked over to pat Batman on the shoulder.

[casscainmainly]

"I may not understand why Batman put you on my old team..."

"Ah, yes... Dick[...] pity he broke poor Barbara's heart... See what I mean, Cass? They're all rotten to the core."

"Batman used to use these back when I was just -- how on Earth did you get this? Did he give it to-- ...you?"

"Let me guess. You must be Nightwing. I hope you're taking over for Helen Keller..."

"I... I wasn't very fair to you from the start. I think maybe his adoption of you didn't sit well with me on some level."

"I could have handled things better as well. Let's put this behind us."

❝ Gotham's hottest couple

[anothertimdrakestan]

Jealous Jason Todd Headcanon

~loooong requested hope you enjoy some brotherly competition~

- jason had no idea he wanted you until dick called "dibs" the first night he met jason's mysterious "friend" and newest bat-recruit

- at first, jason didn't care. like at all. but that never stopped him from being an asshole

- "my brother y/n really? what's there to like? i didn't see you as a musical theatre and dad-joke enjoyer" he'd scoff anytime dick tried to make a move

- that didn't stop richard fucking grayson.

- "hey! y/n! fancy seeing you here!" .. "it's the batcave dick i work here" .. "oh, well are you working all night? maybe we can grab some big belly burger after?" .. "we have patrol together you dork"

- honestly, it was endearing being adored, worshipped even. from handwritten poems, to a little mini batarang necklace, and all the weapons your heart could desire

- and for all his dork-tendencies, dick knew a thing or too about hand placement...

- "put me down richard" .. "you literally fell into my arms" .. "i would've landed on my feet" .. "sure princess, but aren't my arms a little better?" he'd tease, sweeping you bridal style out the back door of the gala you two had just rescued

- it was somewhere in between the gift giving, rooftop dates, and stolen glances that jason realized he might want -slightly, just a tiny bit- more.

- okay; he wanted you all to himself.

- but he's always been shit at explaining it

- where dick was obvious and flirtatious, jason started subtle: always inching closer to you, keeping a longing gaze set on your every move-even if it meant tripping himself up in battles- you noticed he would sooner get shot than let you catch a scrape

- and just like dick's coddling, it got annoying

- "jace i've been on the team for months, i think i can watch out for myself" .. "i know, i protect the people i care about" his response was almost a whisper, and before you could pry further, he disappeared, replaced with a familiar cheesy grin "hi y/n! wanna catch a movie tonight?" .. "uh, one sec dick! i need to check on jace"

- but jason was never anywhere to be found. every time he let you in, he disappeared just as quick.

- when you started toying with new weaponry jason was there, you still got butterflies remembering the way he pressed himself against you while fixing your form, his calloused fingertips lighting fires as he subtly adjusted your grip on your gun

- "jay is this right?" .. "mhm your grip is perfect, but the recoil will get you, slide your leg backwards to brace for the impact of firing" .. the minute his hand touched your thigh a shiver ran across your body, against your shaking will .. "oh, sorry i didn't mean to-" .. you cut him off "no it's good, you're good" but before you could turn around to unpack the cloud of tension in the room, jason cleared his throat and gruffly said "fire" ruining any chance of an emotional conversation. three perfect shots to the targets, and with a satisfying nod he was gone once again

- so when dick asked you out on a real date, to a restaurant whose menu alone gave you anxiety at the thought of ordering, you realized you had to give jason the ultimatum

- but for once in his (second) life, jason was way ahead of you.

- "you said yes to dick?" jason was sitting at your desk when you entered your own room, overly dramatic but it was jason todd after all.

- "do i have a reason to say no?"

- "you hate fancy restaurants. you need like a week to plan what you'll order otherwise you'll just be stressed the whole time"

- you rolled your eyes, but jason wasn't finished: "and you hate movies, sitting in one place watching a film you probably haven't heard of, pretending to enjoy the nuance"

- he wasn't wrong. "whatever jace, that doesn't-" .. "i can tell you what's gonna happen. he'll order a wine too sweet for your taste, and talk to the waiter enough to make you want to crawl under the table. then after a perfectly lovely dinner he'll take you to a rooftop to 'show you the sights' and you'll have your first kiss. but you hate the city skyline, it reminds you you're far from home. you like the sound of the ocean and the rusting of the forest. you like something real."

- your heart was in your throat. but you needed something more: "say it jason. don't tell me the future with dick. fucking say it."

- jason stood up, closing the distance between you, eyes now desperate and wild: "say what? that i've loved you since the minute i lost you? that i feel like ive known you forever? that i don't need to learn to love you like he does, i was built for it? that i feel like i was made for you? how do i put it in a few useless words"

- "you just did jay." you whispered, letting him lock his lips in yours with a smile.

- "please go break richard's fucking heart and come home to me." he grumbled, to which you agreed, letting dick down softly and promising to set him up with one of your friends in return for his kindness- a deal which he wouldn't let you forget

- years later, it was more of a household joke, dick claiming he was the catalyst to your and jason's lovestory. to which jason wholly despised, but you never minded giving dick a little credit

[silent-wolf]

do u guys ever think abt how when jason comes back to life (6 ft, 220 pounds), beats up tim and confronts dick, all dick can think abt is the tiny, snotty nosed kid that used to follow him around when he used to visit on rare occasions??

[spacespacespace]

Has anyone thought abt how Dicks kinda been there for all his brothers?

With jason he was his big brother, and the only other sibling there

With Tim Jason was thought dead and all that, so once again dick was the only one there

And with Damian, when Bruce was ‘dead’, Tim was off finding him, and Jason had js fucked off, so Dick was, again, the only one there for him

He’s always been the constant
