#this is the duality of batman

Bruce has million dollar tech in his suit that he sometimes just has to smash into the face of some villain as a last resort and it’s like, whoops, there goes the new prototype fingerprint tech, punching Clayface was too important sorry Lucius

Two things can be and are true at once.

Robin Jason was a sweet, kind kid who cared about victims. He also had righteous rage and violent tendencies towards those he thought deserved it.

Being Robin gave him magic and as Robin he shattered a man's collarbone with no remorse.

I will say despite all my issues with the new boy wonder issue this panel is so funny as Jason basically went

Interesting that Stephanie Brown reminds Dick of a young Barbara Gordon but reminds Bruce of a young Dick Grayson. So much to read into there.

Batgirl (2009) #7 & Bruce Wayne: The Road Home: Batgirl

They’re both projecting. They’re impressed by what they see in Steph so they liken her to the person they hold in the highest of regards; for Dick that’s Babs and for Bruce that’s Dick.

On the other hand, Stephanie, current Batgirl and former Robin, does in fact draw parallels to both Babs and Dick; the first Batgirl and Robin!! And Dick and Bruce recognise this. Her spirit is relentless and fucking unbreakable and she’s independent to a fault; qualities associated with Babs’ strong character. More technically, she’s light-footed, agile and always pinging around the battlefield, and she’s also cunning, always using her words to throw off her opponents; skills and techniques particularly associated with how Dick operates.

Another important thing to note is that that Dick, now Batman, has come to know Stephanie as the Batgirl, and so likens her to the original Batgirl, while Bruce still remembers Stephanie as his Robin, and so likens her to the original Robin.

Nevertheless, despite what a lot of the bat fandom may tell you, people can be more than just one thing.

Being a Jason Todd fan means wanting to believe he crochets/knits, but also wanting his fingers to be kinda messed up from clawing out of his coffin

The way Bruce thinks about Dick makes me so emotional

In the language of flowers, yarrow communicates a desire for relief and reconciliation in the face of long-term adversity between two people.

love how Gotham goons are like "awh, it's the nice, quippy one" when they see Nightwing and then Dick shoves his fucking escrima stick down their throats until they choke on it and almost die

not that i'd consider Air you know an indie movie given that its made up of some of the longest standing actors in hollywood but going from Live by Night this studio backed film and then to Air with the set pieces and the color grading and just like the scale is really fascinating to me and i kind really wish Ben gets to do a director cut of Live by Night cos i do feel a lot of it got chopped down in favor of the whole fiasco happening at WB during that time but maaaaan seriously live by night is objectively the "prettier" film
