#or we shift slightly and make either Bernard Dowd or Cullen Row join

Au where the league of assassins have tried to recruit every member of the Batfamily, except Dick.

He tries to act so unbothered by it, he is lying. He is so bothered.

The league CANONICALLY have wanted three of his younger brothers on their side while they were all still under the age of 18. (Damian grew up there , Jason when he came back to life and Tim during battle for the cowl)

Bruce joined when he was like 18->20 and Ra’s still thinks quite highly of him

Cass was trained as an assassin since birth and definitely had ties to the league while growing up.

That’s all the canon stuff (I think?) but really anyone trained by BatMan is someone they want on their side.

Except Dick.

So many other assassin type groups would (and have) KILL for him to join them. Except the league of Shadows.

DeathStroke wanted to train him.

He was in the secret service’s for a bit.

He nearly became a TALON.

And he’s not good enough to join the LOA?

Yeah that’s fine, whatever, not like he cares or anything…

The real reason is that Talia would rather die than have Dick working with her. Like, no thanks, fuck that kid.
