Okay, it's official. They are fully lying to us. I swear to God, there is not a single article on here about "Mickey Skunkman," and I don't think there was ever any such thing as… as the "Lenny/Danny Radio Hour" or Doris Monkey. I mean, none of these things ever existed.

I miss Kaldur's season 1 characterization.
#young justice#dc#kaldur'ahm#hes literally the best character#then season 2 went and said “yeah hes no longer mom friend now hes okay with sacrificing others”#then season 3 practically forgot he existed#then season 4 went and nerfed him and gave him a beard#what happened to my tank that would kill and die for the season 1 gang because hes their mother hen?

I watched Rebel Moon and I don't know exactly but it feels like there was a kernel of a really great movie trapped in a lot of chaotic writing and poor character development and A LOT of slow motion shots?
#Rebel Moon#Rebel Moon critical#I guess?#would have been better as a limited series TV show?#like eight episodes or something#episode 1: establish Kora and Gunnar and the threat to Veldt and the decision to find aid#episode 2: Providence and meeting Kai#episode 3: tarrack backstory and Tarrack joining up#episode 4: Nemeisis backstory and her joining up#episode 5: Titus backstory and just A LOT more Titus content!#seriously you have Djimon Hounsou and he speaks a sum total of 7 lines or something???#episode 6: Bloodaxe siblings backstory and negotiating with them#episode 7: Oh No Kai was a traitor all along!! the epire kills King Levitica and captures the gang#episode 8: epic space battle of the dreadnought against the gang and face-off between Kora and Noble#voila#rebel moon season one right there

Happy birthday Will!
In honorary of this day, I shall share my favourite moment/quote of his:
The time he asked his brother the reason why he has no friends is because he’s a freak.
And the time he woke his friends up at the crack of dawn on summer vacation to play dnd because all day yesterday they said no.
#if they were real people#mike better be hosting a dnd campaign for his birthday or else you will see me on the news#also wills right#his brother at that time has no friends#because my question about jon’s relationships in season 3 will always be who the fuck fagin and the gang is#also the scene in the first image is really heartwarming#sorry im late with a birthday post for him#i did not forget his birthday like clearly everyone in season 4#stranger things#will byers#target audience ->#byler

There’s 3 types of stopping an Akuma and here’s how:
How I see it there are 3 types of stopping an Akuma. Maybe 4 if you want to be very exact to the tiniest detail but I categorized 2 of them in 1 category because I think they are close enough. This does not include defeating the Akuma and cleansing it with the Ladybug Miraculous.
People oftentimes argue that Chloé has been the very first character to resist an Akuma when others bring up Alya as the first to reject an Akuma but that’s the thing. She was the first to resist an Akuma’s influence but she wasn’t the first to reject an Akuma and she was not the first to repel an Akuma. People tend to treat all of these the same but I think they are different cases and categories.
Now this may be a bit confusing without knowing what I mean by the categories repulsion, resistance and rejection so here are my explanations as to what these categories are supposed to mean and include. (If anyone has better fitting names for the categories I am open for suggestions. Those were the best fitting ones I could come up with but they may not match like I wanted to).
1. Repulsion:
What do I mean by repulsion? Well usually this includes instances where an Akuma does not touch an object and therefore gets repelled.
Examples for this are: Su-Han’s mantra in the season 4 episode Furious Fu. Or that time in the season 3 episode Chameleon where Marinette calmed down before the Akuma could touch her belongings. But I also include instances like in the season 5 episode Revolution where Mister Damocles almost gets akumatized but because of his students encouragment he gets courage again which results in the magical charm manifesting as a shield allowing him to cleanse the Akuma before it could touch anything. But then there is the instance in the season 5 episode Collusion where Miss Bustier manages to cleanse an Akuma through meditation (at least I am assuming that was some form of meditation technique). Yes an object of hers got touched by the Akuma so technically it’s a bit different compared to the other instances but it’s also kinda similar to Damocles case since the Akuma got cleansed so I’d still count it as repelling.
So generally we can summarize this category with characters and instances where characters have calmed down before an Akuma could touch them or when they have cleansed the Akuma. (Those are actually the 2 sub-categories which I have categorized in one category because to me cleansing an Akuma and stopping the Akuma before getting touched are both ways of repelling an Akuma to me.)
There is a bit of a side effect to this tho. While in some cases the Akumas do get cleansed because of meditation or the magical charms, it can also happen that an Akuma instead gets redirected to the next victim because the Akuma hasn’t been cleansed.
2. Resistance
What do I mean by resitance? Well usually this includes instances where an Akuma does manage to touch an object but the target managed to resist the temptation and offer of power. However the Akuma doesn’t get cleansed.
Examples for this are: Chloé Bourgeois resists getting turned into an Akuma Villain even after the Akuma touching her picture by rejecting the temptation and Hawk Moth’s offer for power in the season 3 episode Miraculer. Or Félix Fathom when he resisted getting turned into an Villain even after the Akuma touched his stuff simply by rejecting Shadow Moth’s offer (and Senti!Gabriel’s threats) in the season 4 episode Gabriel Agreste.
However because the Akumas don’t get cleansed they just target a new victim so someone else gets turned into an Akuma instead.
3. Rejection
What do I mean by rejection? Well usually this includes instances where an Akuma manages to akumatize the target and fall under some semblance of mind control (since Akuma Villains do tend to act in a way the target would never have acted like without the Akumas influence). However the target eventually manages to break free from that control and manages to deakumatize themselves.
Examples for this are: Alya Césaire in the season 4 episode Gang of Secrets, when Alya managed to break free and turn herself back from Lady Wifi into Alya. Nino Lahiffe in the season 4 episode Rocketear, when Nino managed to break free and turn himself back from Rocketear to Nino. Chloé Bourgeois in the season 4 episode Penalteam, when Penalty got sick of her clones and eventually turned herself back into Chloé. Kagami Tsurugi in the season 5 episode Perfection, when an akumatized Kagami sees how much other people actually care about her. She breaks free from the Akumas control in that moment and managed to turn herself back from Ryukomori into Kagami. Lila Rossi/Cerise (or whatever her name is. I’ll call her Lila for simplicity) in the season 5 episode Revelation, when she manages to deakumatize herself from Hoaxer to Lila after she got the information she wanted from Nathalie.
What I’ve also noticed about the instances in this category is that the characters seem to retain their memories from when they have been akumatized which is something that usually never happens after getting deakumatized. Usually characters are disoriented and don’t remember anything but whenever a character manages to deakumatize themselves they seem to know where they are and what happened. Take Lila as an example. She smirked right after deakumatizing herself like she knew exactly what she did. Or Alya, she didn’t look confused at all and could instantly respond to Ladybug’s comments which is something that Akuma Victims usually never do due to the disorientation and confusion. They usually take a moment to collect their thoughts and realize where they are or why they could be there meanwhile Alya didn’t take that time. She only took a little time to catch her breath. Or Kagami who seemed to remember what happened while she was Ryukomori. It’s similar like with Alya where she didn’t seem disoriented at all and she didn’t seemed confused on why Marinette’s classmates where there with a big picture of Kagami. It was like she knew exactly what happened similar as Alya and Lila.
Anyway…
There really are differences between how a character may stop an Akuma from targeting them.
Anytime someone brings up the characters that have rejected an Akuma there is always someone who brings up Chloé Bourgeois. The character who had a picture touched by an Akuma in the season 3 episode Miraculer and then resisted the Akuma’s influence by rejecting Hawk Moth’s offer for power. People keep bringing up Chloé was the first to resist an Akuma. And that is true but the problem is that they throw it into the same category as repulsion and rejection. How I see it’s not the same thing so I don’t think Chloé should be brought up when people talk about characters who have rejected an Akuma. Same thing the other way around. And same thing with characters who have repelled Akumas. Characters like Alya should not be brought up when talking about characters who have resisted an Akuma. At least not if you are trying to say they are the same thing. It would be like trying to compare apples and pears.
Even if we would act like repulsion, resistance, and rejection are all the same thing, Chloé would still not be the first to stop an Akuma from targeting herself. In that case, it would be Marinette who was the first to stop an Akuma from targeting herself since the season 3 episode Chameleon (in Chameleon Marinette managed to stop the Akuma from targeting her by calming down) was canonically before the season 3 episode Miraculer (in Miraculer an Akuma landed on a picture Chloé was holding and Cloé managed to resist the Akuma’s influence by rejecting Hawk Moth’s offer for power). However like I previously said these are not the same thing. Yes generally speaking all 3 are ways to stop an Akuma from targeting a specific person but they are different ways to do that. Some stop the Akuma from targeting only one person, others stop the Akuma from targeting everyone and the rest stop the Akuma from controlling someone (which kind of is also a form of targeting in a sense. Maybe not the traditional way but it is kinda targeting someone if you try to control them). I don’t want to treat them the same because to me they are not the same. If we go as a whole then yes, Marinette would be the first to stop an Akuma without explicitly using the Ladybug Miraculous. Chloé would be second, and Alya would be 3rd. However, if we divide this into sub-categories like I did Marinette is the first to repel, Chloé is the first to resist and Alya is the first to reject. It just makes more sense to me to divide them into separate categories.

i rolled my eyes so hard when that happened. same with the 6 nuggets scene. i blame it all on the duffer brothers. like literally nothing else. just them. 😭 s4 had the worst characterization by FAR. stranger things writers need to realize that one of the MOST beloved aspects of this show is the characters. yes the story is great and creative and has endless possibilities but the heart of this show is the characters, their development and their relationships (both platonic and romantic). to make steve pine for nancy AGAIN after all the s2/3 events was pure and utter bullshit. everytime i think abt it i want to rip my hair out bc not only does it not make any sense regarding steve's character development but it also doesn't make any sense for how they build jancy. like 3 seasons they've shown us that nancy and jonathan are great together (they have their ups and downs, but up until s4 they didn't have any major issues, not to mention they're so very everlark tethered so i like them idc) and how much steve and nancy do not fit as a couple, then they retcon all of this and try to make them a thing again. AND not only is that enough, but they have several side characters actively rooting for them. DESPITE NANCY BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH JONATHAN?!!??!!??
why can't st writers just make them friends? they would work GREAT as friends.
can we talk for a second about how corny eddie’s little speech to steve about ‘getting nancy back’ is? it just always seemed so wildly out of place to me 😭
i also do NOT like stancy so like… ew, no. but it just never made sense to me why eddie out of NOWHERE is giving steve love advice 💀 idk maybe it’s just me
#also im ronance > all other nancy ships but i like jancy#im pissed again#there are A LOT OF things i dislike about season 4#the california storyline and tossing aside that gang as if they weren't the main characters in the first 3 seasons is one of them.

barry's use of mexican actors for the bolivian gang is problematic
let me start by saying that i love bill hader and i completely understand from a logical point of view why he casted actors with mexican ancestry and/or central american ancestry, there's a lot more actors available to you in L.A. than if you were to be accurate with the ethinicity and cast bolivian actors; i also understand (but think its very ignorant) that for people in the u.s. latin america is sort of a big group of the same race that is sort of mix of indegenous and spanish, so i dont blame bill hader and alex berg for maybe thinking like that as well because its a cultural things; i should also say that my opinion should be taken with the consideration that i am a white argentinian woman (argentina being a country that is famously very racist towards bolivian people) and bolivian people probably and truly dont give a fuck about this show
but, and its a big but, bolivia is a special case in relation to demographics in latin america, bolivia tends to have in most reports the highest amount of 100% indegenous population, which in latin america where most of the population is mixed is quite rare (mostly because the spanish adopted a strategy where they wanted to whiten the indegenous population through the mix between white spaniards and ingenous women)
one of the biggest reason why so much of the indegenous population in bolivia survived the genocide on latinamerica is because of the altitude, the people there were incredibly used to being 3000 meters above sea level, while the spanish could barely breath (the bolivian football team routinely wins games against fucking messi when they play in la paz, largely because of the altitude)
in latin america having a population so large of mostly indegenous people is extremely rare, most people from latin america who are not white are extremely mixed by the design the spanish left behind; most mexicans are mixed for example
in the show barry you have mostly mixed actors playing people from a country which is mainly indigenous first of all
secondly and this is equally important but shorter to say because i think most of us were taught it in school, the aztecs and the incas were different empires, with different types of people that lived 5000km apart from each other, you cant just interchange them because its easier
tl;dr the tv show barry from hbo did a "memoirs of a geisha" but instead of chinese people playing japanese roles they did mexicans playing bolivians

Batkids gang!AU
So this post will be the checkpoint for this AU
The stuff written around the characters on this drawing are, for the most part, obsolete (especially the ages) or will be slightly changed so only use the character cards as references for them (found in the story's parts)
Some lil details : this AU takes place in the YJ cartoon universe during the 5 (?) years gap between season 1 and 2 (bc I never got over the 1st season). So as you must've guess it we'll see the team, minus Robin obviously,, It is also mostly Dck-centered
I'll try as much as I can to not be too ooc but they're all aged down and most the stuff they went through hasn't happen yet in this universe, only the formative ones kinda..? But they're not vigilantes here, just street kids trying to survive together.
And finally this is just me having fun with the DC universe, please don't take this too seriously. It is mainly supported by headcanons of mine. Im no comics writer and errors will most likely be made but hey that's part of the game and I hope you'll enjoy it nonetheless !
--This AU was inspired by the fic The Birds by @oceanera12 on AO3 read it it's so good--
The story :
here’s the beginning !!
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6
Part 7
Part 8
Part 9
Extras : how the gang came to be , pile of siblings , them being siblings
#dc comics#dick grayson#robin#tim drake#jason todd#Damian Wayne#duke thomas#cassandra cain#stephanie brown#Dw Barbara is somewhere#batkids gang au

Happy 10th anniversary to the GSNK anime!
10 years ago in Japan, the GSNK anime made by Doga Kobo started airing as part of the Summer 2014 season! It was through this adaptation that fans fell in love with the idiotic shenanigans charms of Nozaki&co, and many went on to read the manga to see more of our gang tackling shoujo manga tropes.
The anime adapted Chapters 1-48 of the manga, albeit sadly with a lot of skipped/shortened content (and interesting... changes). However, the adaptation really brought the series to life thanks to the stellar Japanese voice cast, A+ soundtrack, and the animators elevating some scenes with some added wackiness (those two panels of Hori finding himself piggybacked by bull!Kashima, expanded to 40 seconds of the most hilarious riding(?) sequence ever? iconic).
The anime has 12 episodes (plus 6 special mini episodes) and can be currently streamed legally on HIDIVE amongst other sources (depending on your region). It's been dubbed in a few languages, including an English dub by Sentai Filmworks.
To commemorate the occasion, we're leaving here a poll for people to vote for their favourite episode \o/ You can look up an episode guide if you have trouble recalling what happens in each episode (or you can rewatch the whole thing right now)
#gekkan shoujo nozaki kun#gsnk#monthly girls' nozaki kun#mod grolia#so many of the newer chapters would work so well in the anime... but alas season 2 chances are looking grim#shameless throwback to when grolia was a GSNK gif-maker before working on the scanlation :-)#I will not lie I think majority of the CMC gang were introduced to GSNK via the anime

Hi, Can you do a Steve harrington x freak!reader where the reader has always liked him since he was king Steve but then he embarrassed them so they avoided him ever since until either season 3 or 4, where Steve is trying to win them back with the help of Eddie, their best friend. Happy ending please!!! Thank you!!
I hope this is what you wanted and you enjoy it. Thank you for requesting 🫶🏻
Soft spot
Y/N knew liking Steve was a horrible idea, but she fell anyway. She liked him before he became King Steve, and unfortunately liked him during that phase.
He did not feel the same. Instead, he publicly embarrassed her. Even though it happened years ago, she could still feel the burn of embarrassment. And the fact she never got an apology from him might have been a factor as to why she can't get over it.
Then he graduated and she didn't have to relive it. She kept clear of him around town, not wanting him to find something else he disliked about her. She was doing a damn great job at it, until Eddie.
Eddie and Y/N were best friends and ran hellfire together. One thing that started their friendship was their dislike for Steve. And now? Eddie and Steve somehow became friends, and it pissed Y/N off.
She was hurt and betrayed that Eddie would be friends with him, but Eddie kept preaching that Steve was different. But how was Eddie so sure? What if he changed back within a second. She still had a soft for Steve and knew that part of her would win. That meant she was going to fight as much as she could.
As for Steve, he never forgot about her once he graduated. She was out of sight and in his mind, her name always rang a bell.
She was talking with Eddie, her smile so wide and beautiful. Steve couldn't help but stare in awe as she looked memorizing doing something so simple. Then her eyes moved to his, and he froze. He gulped as her eyes went into slits before she looked back at Eddie. Steve almost felt jealous of her soft eyes when she looked at Eddie. He wanted her to look at him like that too.
After Eddie bid her goodbye, he walked over to Steve.
"Ready to go?" Eddie asked, clueless to Steve's personal battle.
"Uh yeah, but quick question," Steve said, Eddie turned his head to listen. "How do I get Y/N to like me?"
~~~
Eddie warned Steve it would be a long ride to get Y/N to forgive him, and he was okay with that.
Y/N worked at the arcade, and Steve happily drove Dustin and the gang to play. As they went wild, he made his way over to the counter. She was leaning over the counter, looking bored as he walked up. But once she saw him, she stood tall.
"Hi, Y/N right?" Steve asked, already throwing on his charming smile
"That's what the name tag says," She said, sass on her tongue. Steve looked down at her chest, her name tag clear as day.
"Right," Steve said, rubbing his jaw as he tried to figure out what to say next. "Look, I'll just cut to the chase-"
"No need to, I'm not interested in anything you have to say," she said cutting him off. She smirked, loving that she got to embarrass him instead.
"That's fair, but please?" He tried. She tried to look away from his desperate brown eyes.
"Please? King Steve begs now?" Y/N asked, her smirk growing more and more.
"I'm not King Steve anymore. I grew up and left that stupid ego behind." Steve said, his voice serious. "I want to apologize and maybe start over?"
Y/N felt her heart race, but she couldn't get sucked in by his charm and puppy eyes. "Why all of a sudden? Because you and Eddie are friends? Just because you two are friends, does not mean we need to be friends."
"I've never seen you around, but you are now and I want to fix this." He said as he pointed between them.
"You mean never noticed me around," Y/N snapped, "and nothing to fix because I'm not interested in ever talking to you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do." She walked out from behind the counter and took off.
Steve sighed, not happy with how that interaction went.
~~~
Eddie and Y/N talked about the next campaign as they walked to his van. The night was chilly as it was nearly eight pm. Y/N sighed as Steve's car was parked next to them, Dustin in the front seat.
"Hi, again," Steve said with a smile, leaning slightly out of his window.
Y/N rolled her eyes and got into the van, slamming the door shut before he could speak again.
Eddie shrugged his shoulders with a slight smile. He secretly enjoyed the treatment she gave Steve.
~~~
Y/N sighed as Eddie dragged her through the party. Sometimes she hated how much she loved Eddie and agreed to do anything for him.
"Deal will be like an hour tops, then we'll leave," Eddie promised. Y/N sighed louder but kept walking. Eddie found a table outside and took her a seat, Y/N left to grab them a drink.
She walked into the crowded kitchen and filled up two cups with some type of liquor she didn't even know.
"Need a hand?" Steve's voice came from behind her. His mouth was right in her ear, his breath made her shiver.
She turned around, sighing as she prepared to deal with him again.
"Nope, I'm all good," she said, preparing to leave but he softly grabbed her arm to stop her. He yanked her so her body was against his. She was so close that she smelled his cologne and the beer on his breath. His skin glowed under the dim lights, and she tried not to memorize the freckles and moles on his face.
"You aren't leaving until we talk," he demanded. Y/N tried to stand her ground, tried to act like his touch, his voice, and his body had no control over her.
"I told you I don't want to talk," she snapped, but her body didn't move.
"Fine, then listen." He said, moving his grip down to her hand as he walked her into the nearest room with a door.
He closed the door behind him, now both in a random bedroom.
"I'm meant to be here with Eddie," Y/N said, one last attempt to leave but he didn't move away from the door.
"Eddie will be fine for two seconds," Steve mumbled. Y/N placed the drinks on the nightstand and crossed her arms.
"What do you want from me, Steve? Why can't you leave me alone?" She asked
"I'm sorry for what I did in high school. I'm sorry I said those things about you in front of a crowd. You never deserved that. I was a dick and too prideful to admit I was wrong, but I'm not anymore." He began to walk towards her, "I'm not him anymore. I've changed, but the one thing that never changed was my feelings for you."
Y/N froze as the last words fell from his lips. He was now right in front of her, soft doe eyes staring into hers.
She broke the eye contact, licking her lips as she cleared her throat. She looked around the room before she looked at him again.
"Munson told me all about your suspicion and that you don't believe that I've changed. But I can prove it to you if you give me the chance." He spoke softly and quietly.
"What feelings?" she whispered, her voice cracked as her throat dried up. She felt nervous under his strong gaze.
"I've had feelings for you for years. I know I fucked up my chance the first time. Being popular was too important and I forced myself to pick Nancy. I tried so hard to make her you," she gulped as his left hand cupped her cheek. His thumb rubbed her cheek, and she hated that she felt herself melting into it. "No one could be you."
Y/N collected herself and pushed him off.
"That doesn't make sense!" She argued, her skin was growing hot. "You have these huge feelings for me? I put myself out there for you! I asked you to the dance and you rejected me way crueler than I could have imagined. Now that you lost your title and realized you peaked in high school, now you want me? Now I'm safe to go after? You haven't changed. You are still shallow and selfish." Her words didn't deflect Steve. Her angry body was toe to toe with him, she breathed heavily but all he could focus on was how close her lips were to his.
"I can't change the past, Y/N. If I could, I would in a second. But please at least give us a chance. What if we could be really good together? I know you still have feelings for me. Here's another chance for both of us to see where these feelings can take us."
"How the fuck do you know what I feel? You don't know me."
"You wouldn't have spent years hating me if you didn't still want me." He said a smug look on his face that she wanted to smack off. "You wouldn't still be standing here, trying to deny me if you didn't like me. It would have been easy to leave me here, but it's hard isn't it? A part of you wants me to suffer, which I understand and deserve. But what does the other part of you say?"
She bit her tongue as she thought. She knew everything he said was right. Her pride wants to leave him in this bedroom alone. But he followed his pride and it left him hurt. If she followed her pride, wouldn't she have the same outcome?
"The other part," she started, holding herself in her arms, "doesn't want to let you go for a second time." She admitted she looked down at their shoes. She could feel water in her eyes but she tried to keep it back. "I already know what life is like hating you," she looked up. He was hanging on to every word, his lips parted as he waited. "And my stupid heart wants to know what it's like to love you." A tear slipped and she wiped it away before it fell. "I hate that I want you."
She sniffled, and Steve quickly held her face in his hands. He leaned his forehead against hers, closing his eyes as he felt her breath hitting his lips.
"Let me heal you. I can fix this for us." He promised. She closed her eyes as more tears fell. "I'm sorry, so sorry."
Before she could say anything, she felt lips against hers. She sighed at how soft his lips felt, but how strong the kiss was. It made her breathless. She tangled her hands in his hair as she let herself go. She'd wanted this since she was sixteen, she needed to go for it.
Kissing Steve was better than she ever dreamed. His hands moved down to her waist, pushing her further against him. The kiss grew hot and heavy as they desperately clung to each other.
Y/N would always have that soft spot for Steve.

Once again got a bee in my bonnet to spend a night doing obscure fandom research to make a point, so. For all those people who keep making the annoying, "Tim keeps '''stealing'' other peoples' names" comments -- have a table.
EDIT: Updated version with some mistakes corrected.
Everyone with a check mark has used that codename at some point in DC's 80+ year continuity -- Elseworlds and alternate dimensions/timelines count, adaptations (movies, video games, cartoons, etc.) don't unless they've got comic book tie-ins, and neither do in-universe dream sequences/illusions/fantasies/other narrative elements that are objectively "not real" within the boundaries of the fiction.
A purple marker indicates an element that only applies in Elseworlds or alternate timelines. Yellow is for the originator of the legacy title. Star symbol is for borderline cases/extenuating circumstances/it's open to interpretation (with some further elaboration below).
The "other" column is just there to account for people who've held lesser or non-legacy titles, like Renegade, Wingman, Arkham Knight, Drake, Redbird, Talon, Deadman, Black Bat, Orphan and Catwoman.
Point being: the people who have actually gone through the most legacy titles in this family are Dick, Babs and Jason, tied with 5 each (again, not counting "other;" if we counted those separately Dick would've had by far the most). Tim is tied with Steph AND Helena Wayne, so unless you're whining about them "stealing other peoples' names" you're just wrong, and they're all only one higher than Damian, Carrie and Bruce.
This is a legacy family that passes their codenames up and down the inheritance line. It's what they do. It's not a legitimate criticism to level at one character and not the others. Please get over it.
---
Further elaboration on some of the lesser known/niche cases:
- Bruce uses the Robin ID in Superman & Batman: Generations, as well as the pre-Crisis Detective Comics #226 story.
- In the second half of Thrillkiller ‘62, Babs cuts her hair and dons the Robin costume worn by her deceased partner Dick to get revenge on his killer; however the only name ever used for her in the series is Batgirl
- Cassandra was a member of the Robins orphan gang from Dark Knights of Steel.
- Duke was a member of the We Are Robins gang, as well as the aforementioned DKS orphan gang, and has appeared as Robin in a couple of Elseworlds, including I believe a White Knight spin-off.
- Cass was Batwoman in one of the versions of the Titans Tomorrow, as was Bette Kane, depending on changes to the timeline.
- Babs is Batwoman in the Batman ‘66 comics and in the 1980 story “The Secret Origin of Bruce (Superman) Wayne”
- Earth-3 Steph is Batwoman in Young Justice 2019.
- Helena Wayne is Batwoman in the possible future story Last Rites
- Tim is a member of the Batgirls vigilante/little league baseball team in the DC Bombshells universe, as is Cullen Row. Some call them the “Batboys” instead. I call those people cowards.
- Helena Bertinelli wore the costume that would later become Cass’s signature Batgirl look during No Man’s Land. However, she was more often referred to as “The Bat” and her Batgirl status is up to individual interpretation.
- Dick didn’t originate the Nightwing name, it started with Clark in the Silver Age.
- Steph has never been Nightwing. The panel where she appears in the costume is a Black Mercy illusion that happens only in her own mind. It’s a dream sequence.
- Barbara was Nightwing in the Smallville Season 11 comics.
- Terry was briefly Nightwing in volume 4 of Batman Beyond.
- Damian briefly became Nightwing after accidentally killing Dick in the Injustice series.
- Dick is Oracle in the “Eight Wonders of the World” version of Earth 2 (aka the Black Superman dimension)
