#streets of Gotham

Biblicaly accurate Damian Wayne

I hate Picasso but this reminds me heavily of the whole "kids have something while creating that adults don't". How it's important that Batman's arguably doomed and idealistic quest was born of a kid's loss and desire to fix things and then you see this.

Batman: Streets of Gotham (2009) #16 - The House of Hush, Chapter One by Paul Dini, Dustin Nguyen, Derek Fridolfs, John Kalisz, and Steve Wands

With the addition of House of Hush today, I have finally completed my main series collection for Dick as Batman! I'm still missing some other (more minor) story lines, but very happy with this so far <3

[gffa]

Damian Wayne should narrate every Bat-book, DC, please it would be so funny

[luliaka]

Some highlights from Batman: Streets of Gotham #12. This whole series is fantastic, A+++, highly recommended.

Broke: Thomas and Martha Wayne are just callous rich assholes who probably deserved to get shot.

Woke: Thomas was a doctor who believed in saving lives indiscriminately, even saved the life of a mobster* named out of his own choice. He was spoiled in his younger years but became more responsible after meeting Martha**. Martha was a social worker, anti-child porn activist***, who grew up poor and whose father had been cheated out of his money by guys like Judson Pierce**.

Despite their wealth the two were socially conscious and instilled those values into a young Bruce Wayne. Hence Bruce's no kill rule and why he believes in reforming his villains. Part of Bruce's conflict is his need for vengeance coupled by the humanitarian values instilled in him by his parents.

For stories involving the Waynes as people:

*Detective Comics #235, Batman #591. ** Streets of Gotham 'House of Hush' #14-21. *** Batman Ultimate Evil.

Other Batman stories involving the Waynes: The Long Halloween, Batman: Family (2002), Batman: Haunted Knight, Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?,

I can't express in words how much it upsets me that the absolute best origin for Joker by miles is just wholly ignored by DC writers and by a lot of the fan base too. Like, Paul Dini blessed us with the most horrific, heart-wrenching, gut-churning origin story for Joker only for other authors to just ignore it in favor of the fucking evil edgy chaos incarnate version of Joker who's sadistic and horrible just for the lolz. I wish to god that more writers would use that origin story because it's so genuinely interesting and it adds so much delicious complexity to his character. Writers please stop ignoring the Streets of Gotham: House of Hush Joker origin I am on my hands and knees begging you.

hi im so sorry to bother you but i was wondering where your batman and robin picture on your gen blog came from its so lovely (also i love your theme here i think i dont know which one it is but i always liked cyantists themes) i hope you have a nice day/night <3

hi sweet! you are no bother at all and thank you!! i'm so happy you like the genblog theme i haven't touched it in years but i loved customizing it

to your question, assuming you mean this image -

it's from a panel in Streets of Gotham #3

(original panels under cut)

okay very quick story time: it took me so long to track down this panel because i confused Streets of Gotham for Gates of Gotham. all Batman books have the same goddamn name, right, so i stared at the art in Gates for so long being like... you don't look like Dustin Nguyen art.... hmm... then after an extended stint skimming Batman and Robin vol. 1 and Red Robin, also to no avail, eventually i just googled Dustin's bibliography and figured out i had been thinking of Streets of Gotham this whole time. STREETS.

anyway

Batman: Streets of Gotham (2009) #18 - The House of Hush, Chapter Three: The Bedbug's Bite by Paul Dini, Dustin Nguyen, Derek Fridolfs, John Kalisz, and Steve Wands

Bruce is the one of the best trolls of the family.

So I’m reading Streets of Gotham and there’s a story where a villain has infected Gotham’s citizens with a parasite that causes them to commit crimes while sleepwalking, and while Batman is patrolling he sees Penguin among the crowd of sleepwalkers wearing a penguin-printed nightgown. 

So what does Bruce do? 

HE TAKES A PICTURE

12 yrs old Jason having just been dropped off at Wayne Manor: Do you just take in every orphan you meet off the street?

Bruce: No, you're the first kid I picked up off the street. I picked up my last one at the circus.

Jason: Is that a joke? I can’t tell if that’s a joke.

Bruce: My son's name is Richard, but he insists on going by Dick.

Jason: And he’s…from the circus?
