#when Nightwing patrols with anyone younger than Jason he suddenly knows what limits are

Ooh yeah and that sweeter note is something that is both utilized and underutilized with their relationship!

So many times I’ve seen comics make these two butt heads and be little shits to each other while also showing the understanding they have and I love it! Dick squabbles with Jason in a way that he doesn’t feel like he can with his other siblings. And I think that’s beautiful.

Like one thing I want to see with them is Nightwing leaning into his true self and being truly chaotic. “Come on Hood it’s so much more fun to go after Croc in the sewers without any lights! It’s like a game of hide n go seek!” Or “I double dog dare you to run through that patch of poison ivy, I’ll joke about it later with Pam it’ll be hilarious!”. Just let Nightwing get around Red Hood and do all the things he can’t with his younger more impressionable siblings!

I know Jason always calls Dick the "Golden child" and in comics tends to paint him as this unbeatable person in terms of morals/goodness in his head, which makes Jason feel inferior and not good enough..

but I think it'd be so fucking funny if instead of Jason thinking he'll never be as good as Dick, it's actually him just mocking his brother around others, because Jason 100% remembers Dick on multiple occasions offering his 12yo self weed while Bruce wasn't around, and he's the only sibling with the knowledge that Dick wasn't this "holier than thou, I make no mistakes and am perfect" child, which is why Jason keeps praising to the younger batfam members on how Dick is so perfect KNOWING that Dick was absolutely not that.
