#we are Robin

[abyss-king444]

Also, I'd like to see more of Duke and Alfred's relationship. I mean the whole reason Duke joined the We are Robins movements and eventually became The Signal was because Alfred recruited him.

Or even his disappointment and resentment in Bruce and most adults in general. In the We are Robin run he was fully “These adults aren’t shit, Batman included, so I guess I’ll do it my self.” And he did. HE found his parents. Not batman. Not GCPD. Him. As far as he’s concerned, his assumption was right. Yeah its a bit generic but it’s literally anything is better than nothing.

Reunion comic it’s all I ask

Objectively the 2nd best medium for a We Are Robin story (after comic/graphic novel of course) would be like a sort of Spider-verse or Arcane style release. Like 3 movies, and like one or two seasons split into arcs with a slow weekly release schedule and stuff and arcs or something. And an extremely stylized art and animation style that just makes it POP, ya know.

I just wanna see my favorite birdies on the big screen.

Been on motorcycle tiktok… thinking about these two f-ing around on their motorcycles…

—

Duke: There’s a cop

Jason: Just drive away it’s fine

Duke: No s*** I’m already on the other side of the city

—

Bruce: We’re on the same side of the police, even if they’re corrupt we’re all for justice

Duke, a Robin during the Robin War, a motorcyclist, and a black teenager: Uh huh. Of course

—

Dick: There’s a motorcyclist going 200 in Crime Alley

Jason: Damn, that’s me

Dick: Sick, do a wheelie

❌ Bruce hating his kids' friends

✅ Bruce forgetting his kids' friends

The idea that Duke is the super well-behaved and rule-following kid is really funny to me cause like, have you read Robin War? His bit in that book opens with him being arrested for wearing red shoes (long story, just know he was also wearing a red hoodie that apparently wasn't a problem) and he explains step by step to the cop exactly how he plans on escaping before executing that escape perfectly by jumping off a bridge. He fought an armored Jim Gordon, the Court of Owls, and Damian who had been manipulated into joining the Court. Duke managed to talk Damian down while getting his ass kicked and then kinda befriended the kid after. He also has defied Batman several times and was proven to be right. All with a healthy dose of sass.

But also I do like lil rule-following sweetheart Duke so I have a proposal. Duke Thomas who follows the rules he agrees with. Most of the time, he's the sweet little angel in the manor. He's polite, he's well-mannered, he's kind, and he does what he's told. However that's only because everything aligns with what he believes to be the right path. The moment Bruce makes a bad call or order, Duke takes it to 11 and becomes more impossible to order around than Jason. Chaotic Good Duke.

I absolutely love seeing how everyone interprets Jason and Tim’s relationship across the comics, animations, and shows. The headcanons, fanon interactions, and AU twists are always so creative, fuck even when they stray far from the source material.

That said, when people portray Jason as hating Tim or holding a grudge against him, or Tim being wary or resentful over the whole Titans Tower incident… I get it, I’m not against those takes, I’m even kind of into it. But we all know that’s not exactly canon, right? It’s hella funny to explore the tension, but let’s not forget pretend that that’s canon. Cuz their relationship in the comics is more like:

Red Hood and the Outlaws (2011) in the issue #8.

This is from a crossover but specifically from We Are Robin in the issue #7.

Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016) in the issue #3.

Spoiler alert:

Tim is not actually dead

[raynetheinsane]

Tim was Dukes Robin.

Sure Jason would have been Robin when he was a little kid, but if we do our math Duke is about 2 years younger than Tim, placing him at about 11 when Tim became Robin meaning that Duke would have been 9 when Jason died.

At age 9, Duke, being a fully normal civilian for the most part, would never have fully connected with Jason’s Robin, he would have connected with the idea of Robin, but not any specific person behind the mask.

Then comes Robin 3. He’s different, at least thats what everyone is saying. But Duke doesn’t care. There was a new Robin, one who was smart and used his head to fight people *just like Duke*.

A lot of things change in Dukes life but Robin was constant.

He was crushed when a new Robin took over, but he adjusted. (He was a little ashamed to admit he was happy when his Robin came back)

Then Batman “died” and Robin disappeared and Duke lead We Are Robin and then he became signal blah blah blah.

After he joins the batfam, he is more than a little shocked to find out that his Robin is such a wet cat of a man (/aff) and so whenever people ask him who his favorite Robin was, he always says We Are Robin.

The rest of the bats never find out and Duke never tells Tim.

[ID: the "you can excuse racism?" meme format. The first woman is labeled "Duke" and the words have been edited to say "I can excuse eight heads in a duffel bag but I draw the line at littering." The second woman is labeled "Nightwing" and the words have been edited to say "you can excuse eight heads in a duffel bag??" End ID]

[pkmn-lillie]

thinking about Batman saying "Robin, report." and every Robin, past and present, starts talking.
