"Bring back young justice so we can get back wally"

"bring back young justice so we can see the jason arc conclude"

well i, for one, wants to know where ra's al ghul's arc is heading. Like hes so funny to me.

He got betrayed and attacked one time on screen and decide "you know what this whole supervillain/demons head/leader of the league of assassins thing just isnt worth it"

And then he just gave up?? like hes not the leader of the loa anymore, hes not a member of the light anymore and the last time we saw him he provided therapy sessions for three people who clearly need it

Also like his dynamic to jason like in the comics hes like "GET JASON TODD OUT OF MY SIGHT HES A MENACE TO SOCIETY AND I DONT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM" and here hes like "Jason its time for your 5 pm therapy session come sit we have to get your memory back"

Like my guy in the comics is a constant threat to batman and co, meanwhile his yj counterpart is just like chilling on his island with his daughter and two grandsons, providing therapy sessions. Like heh???

Like do i believe hes fully reformed? maybe, i mean, dick said" ras al ghul doesnt lie" that doesnt mean he cant keep secrets

Do i believe its all a ploy and he or talia are secretly still in charge of lao? i mean, wouldnt be the first time this happened

Do i believe they are gonna manipulate jason and make him believe bruce replaced him and such? honestly, idky but i dont, like i know surprise thats basically what they did in comics but i just dont believe it? like i believe this jasons anger is gonna be solely his not because someone manipulated him into thinking bruce doesnt care about him

Like between arkham knight and under the red hood, we have had two jasons who were powered by two different goals. Arkham knight, he wanted revenge cause Bruce abandoned him/didnt look for him. UtRH, he wanted to know why joker was still alive. So clearly while we still have the motive of why he was replaced, i think the writers are gonna write a different goal which is gonna be more closely related to his death (like otherwise why keep it a mystery all these years) . Like who knows maybe Jason was angry at Bruce before he even died. Or maybe since the show is more focused on the younger heroes it will be Dick or Tim hes mad at (more likely dick than tim)

[fantastic-nonsense]

insane how Red Robin is "the loner Tim Drake book" when he had friends and family just popping out of the woodwork like daisies asking him to come home and enjoy hugs like he used to 😭

A PSA for tagging DPxDC Content

This post will include:

The proper tags to use when posting

Why we use them and not the parent fandom tags

A chart of key words to help you filter

Image descriptions under the cut

We know we can't control who tags what, and how tumblr chooses to work, or not work, but these are just some general guidelines to help everyone find or block our content.

What DPxDC Tags should you use? 

General: dpxdc always

More Specific Tags: Batpham, dpxjl, dpxyj

For ALL ships please add “ship” after the ship name. For example: Dead Tired ship, Dead on Main ship, Double Edged Sword ship

What Tags should you NOT use?

Parent Fandom Tags: Danny Phantom, dp, Phandom, Phanart, Phanfic, DC Comics, DC Universe, dc, Batfamily, Batfam, Superfam 

Variations of General Tags: dp x dc, dcxdp, dc x dp, dp x jl, dp x yj, dp/dc, dc/dp, 

For ships please don’t tag JUST the ship name. For example: Dead Tired, Dead on Main, Double Edged Sword

As a general fandom tag we are using dpxdc, WITH NO SPACES.

Why no spaces? Tumblr is so glitchy it’s baffling a very functional website. Because of this we’ve received reports that sometimes if a post is tagged "dp x dc" or “dp/dc” then, even when the tag is blocked, the posts will still show up in the individual "dp" and "dc" tags. That isn’t cool.

Why is it important to tag separately?

dpxdc is a big crossover. The crossover fandom has been rapidly growing over the past year. The crossover fandom drowns out the original dp/danny phantom fandom by a lot, especially for people who may be interested in dpxdc but also want to enjoy regular phandom content. By not using the dp and danny phantom tags, it helps a lot to not drown out the main fandom's inhabitants and content. dpxdc as a fandom tends to pump out a lot of content (which is amazing), but that means that we need to be careful to not suffocate the main fandoms. "Why can't I tag the danny phantom or batfam main fandoms? it's a crossover" -- yeah, it is a crossover, but it's a crossover that is huge (especially in comparison to danny phantom) and dpxdc has taken over the main fandom tags. It's causing a lot of animosity and tension on both sides.

Additionally, the crossover (like most fandoms) comes with some common characterizations, tropes, aus, and concepts that tend to be interpretations that do not link back to the main fandom well. While fandoms come up with their own characterizations, tropes, aus, and concepts, it's important to know when a crossover fandom has existed long enough to establish its own sets of common themes that the main fandom may want nothing to do with.

This doesn’t mean you have to pick between dpxdc and its parent fandoms, like Danny Phantom or DC or Batfam. Indeed, by NOT tagging dpxdc with its parent fandoms, you are ensuring that people who want a space for dpxdc and a space for its parent fandoms can have both! We don’t have to pick sides! But in order to have both, we need to tag dpxdc content with a tag we can search (that is, dpxdc), AND we need to make sure we’re NOT tagging the parent fandoms (such as, danny phantom).

What if I don't want to see dpxdc content?

Here {link} is an in depth guide on how to block tags and filter certain content from appearing on your dash. We also ask that you please keep any venting out of the dpxdc.

However, if you’d like an easy list of terms to just put into your filters, we’ve made a chart!

Thank you!!! 🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇

The delegates of the empire, the imperial chef and doctor and so forth who came to earth to take care of their sweet baby emperor and his consorts, manage to get some general info about Gotham and some more classified info about Ra's Al Ghul. The delegates report the information back to their superiors back in the empire.

Now Tim has a lot of checks and balances put in place in the empire but it's not a perfect system. He can't check on everything all the time no matter how much he might want to sometimes because he wants all of his people to be in a position where they are safe, healthy, fed, sheltered, and able to pursue happiness. Even with C4 help, some things slip through the cracks. He has a system in place to try to prevent anything from slipping through and that system results in a lot of the planets having a fair amount of self governance. That self governance may have a few spots where Tim, being a teenager, may not have thought things completely through or may not have had the knowledge or experience to fill in some gaps. He'll get better with more practice but for the moment the ones the delegates report to have decided to take advantage of these gaps.

Specifically they're going to take advantage of the gaps to start sending space mercenaries and assassins after Ra's Al Ghul for being so creepy about their emperor. He's theirs! Ra's can keep his creepy hands off for good!

They also have space mercs and assassins waiting for the absolute instant the Joker steps one singular toe outside of the bounds of Gotham. They'll respect Gotham boundaries because they respect their emperor and understand that their emperor doesn't want an escalation of tensions within his earth based territory. However, the instant Joker isn't in their emperor's direct territory? He's going to be crushed into paste, burned, and then whatever remains will be yeeted into some random star that has no life orbiting it.

Fuck. I know Tim is anti-murder, but now I'm thinking about the possibility of him having space armies/assassins.

Fuck. Imagine him having to go to war and having to make decisions regarding that (such as whether to kill the enemies soldiers, their rulers, etc. in order to prevent the death of his people). Tim will try everything before resorting to that, but now I'm imagining him having mental breakdowns over having to make said decisions. He's a leader. He will do absolutely everything in his power before resorting to death, and he'd rather die than send his people onto the frontline for him.

Tim and YJ will 90% of the time be able to come up with a non-fatal solution, but what about when they can't? What if there isn't any other option?

Anyways, you're correct that even though Tim has some experience with leading (especially if this is post RR comic run), an empire is different. He's bound to make mistakes and not catch everything.

I'm also vibing with the empire sending assassins after Ra's. I'm super curious what Ra's thinks about it, what he finds out, and how successful the timpire is.

Heyo Keen, I have come to pester you once again. Your post about the Jason amnesia thing got me thinking about young justice (I started watching it recently, it’s very good) and the whole red hooded ninja plot (rip)

I have no clue if you’ve seen the clips (if you haven’t then: spoilers below)

-

Particularly the bit where he’s fighting Nightwing and there’s this whole moment where he says “Gray…son” and he’s told “your memories are returning”.

Anywho. personally I really loved that whole scene/idea even though it was real small. (Also the red hooded ninja design is banger imo) Just the idea of brothers so close yet not even realizing it & the whole amnesia/catatonic thing where seeing Nightwing helps him remember. Also iirc in this he takes care of Damien? (I’m not that far in the show yet so not 100% on that) which is really sweet. Super looking forward to where it goes if anyone picks up the show again.

Do you prefer the whole amnesia/ninja plot or the pit/Red Hood one? I love both and don’t really have a favourite, but I know some people lean pretty strong towards one or the other.

Hey friend! Please pester away! If it takes me a while to answer your asks, it’s only because I’m giving them serious consideration.

I haven’t seen Young Justice, but I’m vaguely familiar with the red hooded ninja story line via art I’ve come across on tumblr and a few fanfics. There’s one in particular that comes to mind where Ra’s contracts Slade to take over the LoA, and Slade interacts with Jay (I can’t remember the title or author, so if anyone knows what I’m talking about, drop a link so I can tag it properly). The first time I read one of these (without noticing the YJ tag listed in the fandoms), I was like ‘what tf is going on here—ohh, Jay with sword, yeah, okay, let’s do this.’

I am deeply and unhealthily attached to the pit/Red Hood story arc for Jason. It’s the storyline I know best in both the comics, dc alt media, and fandom worlds, and it’s the clearest characterization I have of Jay in my head. Part of my process for writing is to set certain ground truths for myself/the story based on comics canon, and then I build outward from there.

That said, the red hooded ninja concept pushes so many of my buttons, namely Jason being under Talia’s wing, Jason and Damian meeting in the League, Jason as a ninja assassin, Jason with a sword (errghhh it’s all sooo good). I also like the younger Dami/older Jay dynamic. Although, technically one of the alt endings to the A Death in the Family movie was Talia giving Jason baby Damian, so I suppose you could wrap that into a Red Hood storyline.

I’m working my way through the 90s Batman: The Animated Series (it’s my fav ‘it’s 10 pm and I’m too tired to do anything productive so I’m just gonna watch comfort TV’ pick right now). Maybe once I get through that, I’ll move on to YJ. 🙂

Thanks so much for the ask! 💙

WIP Tag Game!

tagged by @dear-massacre ! AND @whimsicalmeerkat! WHIL i was writing my post lolol

This is sorta smth i track regularly? but i have it all sorted by word count akdgjkajdg it's part of my progress tracker server w some friends. Adding words is the easiest way to track 'working on a project' so that's what i do! I also have a (separate) doc in my drive folder that tracks just, general prompts, so when i have ideas i slap them in there.

Current (Teen Wolf) WIPs:

TriReign: Shepherd, Lamb, Wolf: small outline, chapters 1-4 complete, 5 wip - 16,575 - Sterek, Medieval Fantasy, Arranged Marriage, Omegaverse, Political Drama, Sex and Politics, Duty and Honor and Subterfuge, etc. my current current current WIP. Baseball AU: Collab? outline - 331. MOSTLY this is just. a Roster and some thoughts about a general plot concept. I want to illustrate this but i can't do a comic. It's also a Sterek concept. FratBoi Stiles x RA!Derek: 52 - this is just straight up a PWP with the prompt borrowed from a TWT moot that ive been meaning to work on for ages and just haven't yet. Higher Education 2: 2,821 Sciles, trans!Stiles, post-canon college AU. Also PWP, but also my gross unhygenic sloppy AU kinda. it's just. its grossnasty wet n sloppy porn. i wanted to finish this and then write a Third part for Sciles week this year and i didn't. whoops There's a Werewolf Tradition for That: 72 - Sterek didn't know they were dating AU. Alive!Hales but Werewolves are still a secret. Stiles and Derek are good friends and roommates, they're both idiots pining for each other, and out of the blue Derek's Mom sends them a formal invitation to celebrate their engagement. Stiles doesn't even know Derek's a werewolf. total ROMCOM, kinda inspired by My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but only in Vibes. Lone Wolf Wild West AU: Chapters 1, 2 posted, not outline - 3,670. Sterek, Lone Ranger!Derek, son of the sheriff Stiles. Mystery, adventure, romance. I miss cowboy...

Somewhere in here I will also put my Collabang fic and any other events i sign up for, because I'm gonna have to pause my major WIPs to work on them lol

1920's Mafia AU: Outline only - 1313 - Stiles is a city detective, the sheriff is the Police Commissioner, this takes place in Los Angeles. There are tunnels running all through the city, albeit underneath (real). There's been an uptick in gang activity lately. Stiles secretly 'runs' by which i mean, owns and protect, but isn't involved in Actually Running, an underground speakeasy in the heart of the city. He doesn't let any gangs runs their trouble on his turf. Until one day, a Hale is shot by an Argent right outside his doors. Sterek SuperBat ComicCon MeetCute: WIP One Shot - 1,049 Inspired by MultiE's art. nerd x nerd solidarity Sciles Ancient Greece AU: 192 - this is a friggin poem and is probably gonna stay a poem. New! Sex For Work: Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 - 23,228. Part 5? Sterek BDSM CEO x Personal Assistant AU. Originally intended to be kinky prompt fill series but Caught Plot. I meant to rewrite it last month to convert it into a standalone story, but uhhhh didn't. I DID do reformatting though. I just need to get writing on it again, but i tend to be kinda singleminded.

Other Fandom WIPs:

Big Blue Boyscout: 47 - Superman x Nightwing, xenophilia fic. "He's Big and Blue in more ways than one..." Bruce Wayne Visits Smallville: 685 - I got distracted while bingeing smallville for the first time and haven't gone back, but this was just supposed to be a one shot but my outline grew legs DP/YJ Crossover: 220 - this is more of a concept than a real specific fic, but i REALLY like comparing danny phantom to specifically the young justice animated series, and i wanted to try and come up with a cohesive clone comparison plot, rather than just making it a lil joke. Maybe it'll be Danny x Conner because himbo tee shirt conner is my baby boy baby boy Not So Blushing, Not So Virgin: 40 - SuperBat role reversal where everyone expects clark to be this sweet inexperienced things and then he absolutely blows bruce's back out.

Hiatus Projects:

Universal Law of Gravitation: Chapter 1 WIP, significant outline - 3,080 - Sterek Lifetime fic. I wrote out this huge long super comprehensive timeline and got super caught up in it. It's supposed to be about how, despite their best efforts, Stiles and Derek just can't stay apart, so there are a ton of messy breakups and fights in between. I just never put together an actual proper Plot, so when i started writing it, i got SUPER bored. It has a playlist! and i made a bunch of pseudo-science chapter titles hehe A Fever You Can't Sweat Out: Chapter 1 posted, Chapter 2 WIP, significant outline - 9,911 - Sterek, Marrish, Scallison, post-canon AU, surprise mpreg! Similarly to ULG, i wrote out a huge big timeline and outline and got super nitty gritty into the details, but literally Chapter One i went Off Track and it just killed my motivation. It's HUGELY ensemble, and i picked out jobs and hobbies for like 12 people to all live in a big ol estate together. It also suffered from "world building but no plot", but i DID try to make a plot, it just. wasn't good haha. The entire concept is, Lydia gets pregnant which makes Allison baby crazy so she gets pregnant and Stiles wants a baby so, so bad, but he's dating dating/married to Derek and therefore would have to adopt or something, but he wants it so bad he magics himself up a contraception.

Prompts!

Derek is moody, Stiles teases him about the fact he like, never smiles. Kisses him on a whim to get a rise out of him. And then proceeds to have a existential crisis after because "oh shit did he just kiss DEREK".

Werewolf!Stiles’ Pavlovian Pleasure Response to Scott’s Click (iykwim)

Stiles x Jeep crack smut oneshot

Post Nogi stiles is having trouble feeling like himself again. he feels a sharp disconnect with his Self that he didn't used to have, like he's lost touch with his humanity. He needs someone to remind him how it feels to be human.

unspecified/platonic - In this kind of weather, it makes more sense to stay inside. Or rather, stay inside somewhere else. Stiles sets up shop in a bookstore's cafe to while away the time warm espresso, a good book, and his own company. Until Someone/Something Else comes knocking.

Supernatural Boarding school (circa 2005-2009 role-play forum vibes)

Bastard Prince Jackson and Freedom Fighter Stiles (see doc)

Stiles’ mythology professor bites off more than either can chew - The Great Beacon Hills Custody Battle

“Teenage Dirtbag” Loser!Stiles Sterek fic

all of my prompts literally only exist in a single document where i put Ideas i like adkgjakjg everything in wips has a dedicated doc, but most of them dont have much written yet.

There's also 1 absent prompt here that im now saving for the collabang so ive omitted it from my counts because its technically a wordcount of 0 until i get to start working w my artist (:

no pressure tags! @renmackree @lavender-lotion @like-lazarus @geekmom13 @endwersed

Communal DPxDC tag blocklist

heyy, so i'm just gonna share all the tags i've been using to block DPxDC posts bc i think it might be helpful for others trying to avoid those crossover posts.

First, the official tag that is meant to be used for dp and dc crossover posts is DPxDC (without spaces) and you are not supposed to tag either of the main fandoms when you make a DPxDC post.

That being said, my blocked tags are:

(edit: put under a readmore bc its a bit long)

anger management prompt

anger management ship

batpham

dan phantom x jason todd

danny phantom batman

danny phantom dc

danny phantom dc crossover

danny phantom x batman

danny phantom x batman crossover

danny phantom x dc

danny phantom x dc comics

danny phantom x justice league

danny phantom x young justice

danny x jason

dc x dp

jazz/jason

Ra's x Jazz

tim drake x danny fenton

There is also the option to put things in 'Filtered Post Content' which is right below 'Filtered Tags' and I've recently started to use it to block

DPxDC

As noted in the last reblog of this post, you can go full scorched earth in Filtered Post Content with one fandom to try and avoid DPxDC crossover posts as well. This doesn't work personally for me, since I like both fandoms separately, but it might be useful for others.

Please feel free to add to the blocklist!

[cocomuffy]

yeah, those two aren't the same people. i do like the hair better on the new comic though. i feel like the light skin kind of makes it to where you can't tell where damian came from and i think that's really important. and he does look just like jon, now that you say that. it feels like they just mapped damian onto a white boy.

now, do i have any of these comics? no, im broke and in an area where they dont really sell comics to a lot of places. so, take my opinions with a grain of salt. but i can still critique a design.

i asked my friend, who is a fan of batman, who it was. she said tim. and i see it.

there was my friend's reaction to the answer if you were curious.

it's just that i think it's kind of weird that a webtoon spinoff made damian look more damian than the mainline comics

and i mean, there's a greater issue, that when they were kids, damian, tim, and dick looked the same.

like... just imagine if i switched their haircuts.

nobody would know the difference. (these are all from yj)

the point is, they all need a little variation anyway.

and having damian drawn so much lighter and removing little details is getting rid of variety, and it's getting rid of his ethnicity and his heritage. it's important for him to keep features that relate to his heritage because part of the drama of his character is the fact that he grew up with talia and ra's!

so, that's my thoughts on it.

Does anyone else not like the way Damian is drawn in the new Batman and Robin comic ????

Like, after his solo Robin series, I just cannot look at him like that. He looks almost exactly like Jon.

Where is his tan skin ??? His green eyes ??? HIS HOOKED NOSE ???? They took away everything that made his design cool and interesting and new and pretty and also just like a huge part of his ethnicity.

It just bothers me so much like I want to read the comic bc it does seem pretty interesting but Damian’s design is making it soooooo hard. It extra sucks bc the art style is amazing. I actually love the way Bruce is drawn and also White Rabbit is super cool. Damian is just throwing me off so hard like that’s literally not him that’s Tim or Jon or Dick but that isn’t Damian Wayne/AL GHUL like tf look at this

He’s pretty yah, whatever, now look at this:

THESE ARE NOT EVEN THE SAME FUCKING PEOPLE ???? It’s not even a difference in art style bc there was plenty of variations in art style in the Robin series but he still had his main features I mentioned earlier.

Idk call me a nitpicker or smth but this bothers me so much if it doesn’t change at some point I don’t think I will be able to read the new Batman and Robin series.

[littlegirlsblog1]

I hope this time I’ll finish my art 🫡

[qlsvn]

am i allowed to make a dc au

the only interaction i’ve had w/ dc is the animated dc girls show, tumblr posts, tiktok posts, a couple of fanfics, the CW live action Flash+Arrow series, the first two seasons of YJ (animated. not the comics. but i srsly wanna know what OG Tim + Kon + etc were getting up to 😭 cuz the stuff i heard ab them…) the teen titans 03 + GO! animated series, and ab half of the teen titans silver age vol 1 comic + overall general knowledge ab DC (getting into comics is HARD and i dont wanna watch the movies…) but i actually had a rlly cool au idea i wanna share but i don’t wanna butcher it…. so if someone more well versed wants to confer w me on this AU… deliberate over it w/ me… etc. i’d like to see it in action at some point

(for the record cuz i’m obsessed w highschool AUs its a dc highschool au but only the JL are in highschool + all the younger heroes are in varying grades depending on their ages and rankings w/ Diana+Bruce+Clark all being seniors, and Damian+Jon+whoever else is in their generation being in like maybe Kindergarten/1st grade and for the record the batfam are all bruce’s adopted younger siblings Damian + Jon’s stories would b a bit different but i dont know enough ab Jon so 😭 and they’re all still superheroes. but in highschool. in Gotham Academy or smth. The world building is taking a hit in this one ig idk how to explain ppl from different parts of America being in the same school DONT FREAKING ASKKKK.)

(The villains??? in highschool too. Where do they go??! idfk some shit like Arkham Academy except like Lex Luthor or Ra’s. whyre u beefing w/ a bunch of teenagers ??! 🤨🤨🤨)

also my knowledge on different heroes + villains is limited pls i’m sorry 😭😭 i’m trying to learn but getting into comics is hardddd and ik to be skeptical of twt + tiktok + tumblr + fanficiton i may as well be interacting w/ a wholly different source media BUT I WILL EVENTUALLY GET THE FULL (mostly) CANON PICTURE!!!!! Just give me 5 years… 😓…… i’m slow.

also wouldn’t it be funny if clark + bruce interacted a lot bc bruce was popular + in student council + clark was in the school newspaper so they worked tgth to advertise school fundraisers + clark IMMEDIATELY clocked Bruce, popular playboy himbo Brucie Wayne, as the emo secretive vigilante Batman ?? Like what huh !??? i’m not surprised u were always a little off BUT !!!????

anyway. i’ll leave now bye. 😔

[bitterrobin]

@kedugh #1. this post is mainly directed towards the fanon idea that Dick was Damian's sole father figure and thats why he should have properly disciplined Damian over the Tim beef. Fanon tends to exaggerate their conflict and imply that they want to see Damian get shunned or severely punished over his fights with Tim, and Dick is either made the punisher or the scapegoat who enabled Damian's "misbehavior." I don't disagree that Dick/Damian have a complicated but largely close relationship and that some father/son dynamics play into that - BUT Dick never expresses any actual desire to be Damian's father until after the Reborn era when comics were rebooted and writers could add in whatever they wanted. In this case, the Nightwing storyline where Dick confesses that he could've adopted Damian/taken legal custody of him but he didn't, and where Damian acts out because he feels like he might get replaced by Shawn Tsang's baby.

Prior to that, most writers (mainly Morrison) did not explore Dick and Damian's relationship beyond who they were as Batman and Robin. We don't get dialogue or actions from Dick that imply he sees Damian like a son. In Resurrection of Ras al Ghul, its made explicit that Dick is annoyed by Damian and in contrast, regards Tim as a brother who's more important to him. @fancyfade is right in that Dick attempts to socialize Damian through making him join the Titans, which during the early 2000's era was made up of mostly Tim's former YJ teammates who disliked Damian - so he didn't stay there very long, and later on Damian joined a different Titans team that was all pretty much adults/young adults who were Dick's peers (Starfire, Beast Boy etc). Besides that, Dick does not pressure Damian into interacting with anyone that he already doesn't know as Robin. Those outings with the Titans team doesn't really help Damian either. He literally says to Dick after being with Tim's Titans team that he's all the friends he needs. Damian is just reinforced in his idea that he doesn't need to befriend other people.

I bring up Tim again because he actually got the brotherly treatment by writers. We see his interactions with Dick that are emphasized with brotherhood, with Dick being worried for him, taking him out for fun as civilians and not just as Nightwing and Robin. Dick throughout the Reborn era does not do this with Damian.

Dick is responsible for him. He does eventually come to care for him. He is looking out for him and they live together, but that doesn't immediately mean that Dick actually acted like Damian's dad. It's very clear that writers did not initially intend for Dick and Damian to be as close as Dick and Tim were portrayed as prior to the Reborn era. Let's compare the two; Tim gets kidnapped or hurt in a comic, Dick fights the perpetrator and express anger/fear/worry over his safety. He calls Tim his brother multiple times over years of different comics. Damian is in a position where he could be hurt, Dick expresses concern over the perpetrator because Damian is more dangerous himself than any person he fights with. He doesn't actually call Damian his brother until after the reboot, where again, writers broadened their relationship. Damian and Bruce's relationship in Batman and Robin 2010/2011 is far more familial on the page. Bruce is actually shown tucking Damian into bed, teaching him things outside of just being Robin, expanding their familial relationship through Marthe and Thomas, giving him Titus, and treating him as his son - with both the positive and negative aspects. Dick does not do any of those things with Damian when he's Batman. They just have a different kind of relationship during that period and that's okay.

Most of what you list that Dick does for Damian - doesn't actually appear in a comic. Additionally, he "set rules and mediated conflict"??? At best all Dick did to stop Tim and Damian from fighting was to literally tell Damian to shut up, or just let him leave and then talk to Tim afterwards. We never get a page where Dick sits Damian down and tells him to stop antagonizing Tim in a parental manner. He tells Tim to consider Damian's feelings, but he doesn't tell Damian the same thing. The conflict between Tim and Damian never gets resolved on page by Dick, it just develops between different writers depending on what they want to explore. It goes up and down. All the rules Dick taught Damian pertained to Robin, not Damian as a child. Damian was expected to listen to Dick because he was Batman, not because he was his father figure. Damian flat out tells Dick that he's not his father, and continues to criticize him for trying to act like Bruce. Dick and Damian do get closer and are now closer than they used to be, like I've said before in other posts, but it did not start out as father-son thing.

#2. "Damian doesn't dislike Cassandra in Gates of Gotham" Did you read Gates with your eyes closed? Here's the panels where Damian states why he doesn't like Cassandra, and his further actions toward her.

Before actually meeting her, Damian was somewhat excited or looking forward to seeing her. After meeting her, Damian clearly expresses that he thinks Cassandra looks down on him and he doesn't like that. He pushes her buttons on purpose by implying that Bruce deliberately sent Cass to Hong Kong and kept Damian close for a specific reason. He implies that Cass doesnt pull her own weight in the investigation. Damian doesn't like Cassandra, and he acts hostile towards her after she prevents him from disarming a bomb he thinks he could've done in time (but was definitely going to kill him). Tim literally points out to Damian's face why he really doesn't like Cass.

#3. "Damian saved Tim because he made the decision to use his skills to help his father's way; he came back to Gotham to be a hero." Now you're the one lying. Damian does not say he came to Gotham to be a hero, nor do other characters imply the same. Throughout his first introduction he scoffs at Bruce's ideals of being a hero and throughout Batman and Robin he clearly chafes under being "heroic" ; he dislikes that he can't attack cops, goes out on his own to fight criminals but doesn't listen to Dick or anyone else, and doesn't intentionally try to save people until the incident with Sasha where he feels bad about her. Even after Sasha, Damian continues to have conflicts with Dick and various other heroes because he isn't aiming for saving people, he's aiming for trying to live up to Bruce's expectations and proving his own superiority in intelligence/crime-solving/fighting. This changes later after more time spent of Damian being Robin and he proves himself as a hero (Batman Inc), but at first, he wasn't Robin because he really believed it was the right thing. We literally have no idea about why or how Damian suddenly showed up in Gotham again after Resurrection of Ras al Ghul. He just appears in the comics suddenly, and writers start using him to sow conflict/be Robin.

When I pointed out that Damian saved Tim in Battle for the Cowl:

Even if Damian saving Tim was out of sense of self-importance or smug revenge or whatever - its still a huge difference between trying to kill him.

You obviously misread this sentence. I say IF Damian was saving Tim because of egotism or misguided revenge - I WAS NOT actually saying that those were Damian's reasons for helping him. I don't even believe it myself. I said it to further prove my point that we have an example where Damian saved Tim's life which shows at least marginal improvement over their first meeting where he tried to kill him.

Damian doesn't even go to save Tim of his own volition, he's forced to by Alfred and accompanied by Squire. He just wants to get out of being confined to the Batcave, and if saving Tim is what lets him do something that isn't being left out the "mission" - then he'll do it.

When saving Tim, all Damian says is: "Tell me you appreciate this."

This doesn't imply nearly all that you say it does, that Damian did it because it was the right thing to do or because he wanted to heal the relationship. You assume thats the case, but considering Damian and Tim continue to fight after this and Tim literally never acknowledged this action in the comic- I doubt it myself. We don't know if he actually wanted to help Tim for a good reason because we don't get narration boxes from his POV.

In your comments, you have a clear interpretation of Dick and Damian's actions in this particular era. I'm not going to outright say that you can't have that interpretation, but don't tell me that I'm lying just because you're the one that thinks Dick acted more fatherly and that Damian was trying to be amicable to Tim in one comic where they interacted based on a single piece of dialogue.

You're not an authority on this and neither am I - but I'm allowed to express my gripes on my own blog.

Next time, please just block me and anyone else you disagree with. You don't have to see my posts or my blog if you don't want to. You're also not going to change my mind by leaving arguments in the comments. Thank you, if you read this far. Hope you have a nice day.

the mom/dadification of Dick really starts to be detrimental when people say things like "[insert parental figure] should've done more to properly reprimand/comfort [insert whump blorbo here]" Especially when it comes to the 2009 era with Tim's whole deal - its always "why didn't Dick 'parent' Damian better and do something for Tim???" and never actually analyzing why that whole idea is wrong. Dick isn't Tim's father and Dick isn't Damian's father. He's Tim's older brother first and foremost. Why does whenever Bruce die or do something shitty suddenly everyone shoves Dick into the Fatherhood role? He has responsibility as the adult in simple terms, yes, but at the time of Bruce's death in the 2009 Reborn era he was not Damian's family.

He was watching Damian because Damian at the time was an obstacle, like running around having to carry a bomb and watch it so it doesn't explode. He wasn't taking care of Damian because he cared about the kid (at first) and he told Tim that much before Tim decided to leave. He explicitly told Tim that he trusted him as an equal partner, not another kid he needed to watch out for. And whether that sentiment is wrong or not is your opinion, but theres something to said about Dick's own struggles with independence and how he was probably trying to give Tim a chance of independence that wouldn't end as badly as Dick and Bruce's schism did. It backfired in a sense, and honestly I feel regardless of whether Tim stayed as Robin or not things would still have ended shitty because they were both grieving and Tim is a teenager becoming an adult and they were not agreeing on the Bruce thing. (Even if Tim was never shown on panel telling Dick his actual ideas for Bruce being alive before he left).

Whatever idk. I just feel people forget Dick has his own serious issues and absolutely none of the Batman characters would be adept at therapy speak or actively acknowledging their own problems. Dick has his own shit to deal with, just as Tim has his own issues and Damian has issues. There's never going to be a correct solution to the very human conflict going on. You can't "I'm a good parent/sibling" your way out of it. Dick suddenly gaining self-sentience and deciding to punish Damian like a dad would change nothing. Honestly it'd make things worse, Damian has never responded well to parenting and I don't get why people think getting yelled at or put in baby jail would fix his deep-seated issues with the concept of mom/dad. Damian getting punished wouldn't fix anything. Tim staying Robin wouldn't fix anything because he was already set on leaving to search for clues on his theory.
