if more of the guests had worn fancy outfits to the wedding, i like to think Bart would've worn a suit (though the tie/bowtie would be undone within an hour along with the jacket coming off) but still had sneakers on. his nicest, cleanest slip-on pair, but still sneakers. he can get fancy but he's a speedster. they're basically allergic to shoes you can't comfortably run in. mostly i just think there's no way Jay, Iris or Barry would let Bart go to a wedding without dressing up
I love this image - I can totally picture it in my mind and I am totally with you on those choices. 
It’s funny, I wasn’t too bothered about not getting to see everyone in fancy wedding outfits before issue 6 of Targets - but now we’ve seen everyone in their funeral attire, I actually really want to see what everyone would have worn for the wedding - even if it's just concept art or something. It's always interesting to see how characters dress for different situations - something we, unfortunately, have to miss out on a lot of times with animation because of budget limitations. For Bart in particular, it would have been really cool to see the choices made between the events… the suit he's wearing for the funeral feels like something that was either bought for him or given to him specifically for this very sombre and unfortunate occasion. At this point he's still pretty new to the time period so there's no reason why he would have or need any sort of formal wear, making it kind of heartbreaking to think the outfit was acquired solely for the funeral - rather than being something he already had in his possession that could also be used for a funeral. Obviously, there are a number of reasons for him to be miserable in that situation - it's wally's funeral - but, if you compare him to someone like Ed, whose outfit looks like one curated by himself for himself, Bart looks like someone else gave him the suit and told him to wear it. There are no personal touches or stylistic elements to differentiate him from most of the other male characters present - other than his not wearing a tie* - but that's about it. He looks so uncomfortable like he does not want to be in that suit and as soon as he gets the chance, he is going to be out of it and will make sure he never lays eyes on it ever again. What I would have loved to see had we got wedding attire is Bart wearing something that he did have complete control over - like, he may have had to have still been told he has to dress up, but whatever he would have ended up wearing would have been something he picked out himself, something that fits his style with his own personal touches and that he's totally comfortable being in. it would have been so great to see the difference in aesthetic created by the contrast of situations - for Bart and every other character that's present for both the funeral and wedding… my over-analytical brain requires the content.
Anyway, thanks for the message anon!

*Current headcanon - he was given a tie to wear but didn't know how to tie it and didn't want to ask for help so he ditched it.

YOU DIDNT ASK so im sorry in advance (especially because i wont be explaining this well) But. ill be so honest i dont think the t-shirt kon is bad in a vacuum like it could be cute 😭 i do think its genuinely kinda fun when the characters wear their own little merch. the t-shirt outfit is even kind of funny because hes literally just wearing a t-shirt and jeans 😭 i love kon no matter what!!
but in the context of the transition from young justice (the comic) and the gang "graduating" into the teen titans (vol.3) i feel like it was a regression for him. idk i read into kon and transness+being lgbt too much so ive seen interpretations of it being his internalized homo/transphobia because its also a time where he has a secret identity for the first time in small-town america... and i do enjoy that, but it was Not intended by the writes (especially considering who was writing him in the mid-late 2000s)
kon's character to start off is really about identity and the reclamation of it when he was intended to be a Thing, and how he struggled under the weight of acting like he thinks he should/expectations placed on him (especially because he did not have an alternate identity or a name at first, he was just superboy. THEN kon el and conner kent) and how he expresses himself by replacing a tag cadmus put on him with a gold earring and generally dressing in a flashy and flamboyant and alternative way
so then when we transition to the teen titans kon, they sort of......strip him of that expression of personality. hes put in a t-shirt and jeans. they take away his earring. hes put in a relationship w/ cassie sandsmark (who btw. is very wlw coded to match him in the YJ comic, and both of their designs suffered what we call the cishetifcation) that is ultimately so bad for their characters (meanwhile kon is written into the most gay coded friendship w/ tim drake for like. a decade.)
and the young justice cartoon is an adaptation that was attempting to take the teen titans run from the 80s i believe? and young justice 98-2003, AND the 00's teen titans run. (decades of story to work with and way too many characters and groups, leads the cartoon to, in my opinion, suffer from a too many cooks situation)
and it does not handle kons character very well at all either </3 AND they used the t-shirt design while sticking him in a very unhealthy relationship w/ a character hes never really interacted w/ much in the comics. so umm. TL;DR very mixed feelings on t-shirt conner
i do recommend reading young justice though <3 (AND IM GLAD YOU LIKE MY DESIGN !! tysm <333 the curly hair is a must <3) sorry for the essay i just wanted to expand on why i put the t-shirt boy in the "sigh" categories 😭
ah, when i said i liked t-shirt conner, i didn’t mean the outfit, i was specifically referring to the young justice cartoon’s characterization ^^; i do acknowledge that it was a mixed bag that was forced to cherrypick years of history as an adaptation, and i get why conner fans don’t see him as Their Conner, but i’m gonna be so real with you. i liked him a lot in the cartoon 😭 as a standalone show, the first season does a rly good job of letting you understand his struggles and thought process, there were a lot of moments that endeared me to his angst while also letting him still feel like a kid. but i think i’m also biased towards characters that default to anger as a trauma response (completely unrelated to recent events believe it or not! wacky coincidence tho! foreshadowing even…?)
conner and m’gann’s relationship was def not the most interesting to me, but it’s also not the worst one. i have other biases against. other couples. but i’m curious to see how it develops bc unhealthy or not, i wanna see how it affects the characters, ykwim? like i’m not in it for the shipping, even if we All know there’s a better conner ship U__U
idk i just feel worn out by comics cynicism bc while i get it (i’m a hal fan, by god do i get it), i also don’t want to treat anything in dc too sacred. it’s more fun for me personally to view new iterations/adaptations as puzzles to work out rather than view them as character assassinations if even that. there are some truly unsalvageable things out there, but i generally think there’s smth good to gain in everything. and the young justice cartoon gave me a t-shirt conner to gain in my heart, so i can’t fault his character change too much as drastic as it is
all of this to say tho: the alt look is obviously superior. NOTHING beats a cropped jacket <3

Should Wally come back?
With Young Justice: targets finished it’s still unsure if Young Justice will come back for a 5th season and with that I’m sure there other fan will keeping hope alive that Wally is somehow make his way back to the living. But was that flashback to Wally’s funeral truly a sign to let Wally go and move on? We have for sure seen a good amount of current characters having visions and hallucinations of Wally, some hinting that he might not be dead and on another plain of exitance (aka beast boy and superboy visions).  Other relaying on nostalgia and what could of been that let you enjoy good memories and put the character to rest (aka Dick and Artemis visions). To me if they would have fully confirmed that Wally is dead and at peace with Artemis’s goodbye ,which would of been a great send off for Wally, I would accept it and move on. But revealing that it was Zatanna’s magic and not Wally’s ghost left the door open for him to return. But with each passing season it feels like the time for Wally to return has passed and it’s best if he just stays dead. Honestly the way HBO max is rn this could all be irrelevant if we don’t get another season but anyway those are my thoughts.

TARGETS #6 SPOILERS…
BREAKING DOWN THE FUNERAL SHOT…
Tumblr media
In case you can’t read my horrible writing…
We may have been denied seeing everyone in wedding attire but we did get to see everyone in their funeral attire which is pretty cool - there’s always something fun about seeing everyone in different clothes from usual... Even if it is for the unfortunate event of a funeral.
THE RUNAWAYS ARE HERE! You know the first thing I noticed about this shot was that Ed was in it… who scrubs up very nicely I might add… though he and Asami clearly had their growth spurts between the end of s2 and Wallys funeral because they were the smallies of the group and are now towering over previous tallie Tye! It genuinely makes me so happy that they’re all here - they really didn’t need to be given they hadn’t been associated with the heroes very long or know Wally beyond being kid flash, but the fact that they did go to the funeral is so compassionate and respectful - I love it!
Are Dinah's eyes on Bart? If they are, that's a really cool detail that I am obsessed with... Though, I don't know if they actually are, both her and Ollie seem to be looking more in the direction of Red tornado or something off panel... Which is more of an odd choice that I can't quite interpret... That being said, Dinah looking at Bart shows a need to check on him and acknowledge he may not be alright, out of everyone who she knows will definitely be struggling - Artemis, Dick, the other OGs, the rest of wally's family - and yet her focus is on the new kid from the future who would probably down play how affected he is by wally's loss... She's clearly tuned in on more than he'd want anyone to see... There's no hiding from Black Canary!
My boy Bart needs a hug right now! He looks so sad and isolated from everyone despite being surrounded by so many people - his chair is pulled away from iris's, disconnecting him from the other flashfam, there's probably guilt/imposter syndrome at being included with all wally's close family when he's only been around for a few months - obviously he does deserve to be there but I feel like he’d much prefer to be at the back and out of the way that front row. He’s looking at nothing/the ground - lost in his own thoughts/memories of past losses, his posture is hunched as he tries to make himself as small as possible - probably not wanting to be noticed or acknowledged in any way… basically he needs a hug! Also it is always wrong seeing Bart separated from Ed and Jaime - boy needs his besties!
Like when Artemis was “killed”, Conner’s natural response is to be angry before tearful, which I actually quite like - grief shows itself in different ways and it’s just as valid a response… it’s also interesting to see how M’gann is focusing on Conner, aware of how hurt he will be but not trying to physically connect/comfort him as they are still broken up at this point and maybe doesn’t want to overstep.
Perdita can’t even look at the tomb stone, possibly trying to hold back her tears.
Artemis, Dick and Kaldur’s reactions are all heartbreaking - Artemis is clearly trying to hold it together but is on the brink of completely breaking down while her mum, Barbara and Brucely crowd around her. Dick is full on sobbing - which is something we’ve never seen him do and shows just how affected he was by Wallys loss - his closest friend and confidant was gone. Then there’s Kaldur, who isn’t actually showing much visible reaction - which is very Kaldur - holding in whatever emotions he may definitely be feeling because he doesn’t want to access that side of himself… it’s interesting that dick and Kaldur seem to have opposite overall grief responses - dick broke down immediately then proceeded to disconnect from dealing with his feelings over s3, while Kaldur avoided dealing with his built up negative feelings from the beginning and has only just put his effort into working through his grief.
I like the idea that Garth is looking at Kaldur (though it may actually be that he’s looking at Artemis or Dick - a lot of the eye lines are difficult to properly pinpoint) If it is Kaldur he’s looking at, then that shows hes thinking about him and checking in on him - they were good friends once - and while they may not be as close anymore, Garth’s focus on him illustrates that he still cares and understands that Kaldur probably isn’t okay.
There is so much emotion coming from Dick/Artemis/Mrs. West that it’s attracting the attentions of Denny, Karen and Roy… maybe even Red Tornado and Jaime as well. I love seeing who people are looking at!
ORIN ISN’T WEARING SHOES!!
It genuinely threw me for at least 10 seconds as to which batkid was between Bruce and Cassie… and then I remembered when this was set and that it’s obviously Tim (🤦‍♀️)… though he does look remarkably similar to s1 Dick Grayson.
La’gaan is looking very suave in that outfit… though also very upset which is really heartbreaking!
Poor uncle Dudley - could everyone not just shuffle over a little bit so he could be fully in the shot?
It’s cool to finally see Freddy for the first time, who, as pointed out by someone on Twitter, is actually sat on plastic man as a chair - which is ridiculously brilliant - I did think it was an odd colour scheme for the chair to have compared to everyone else’s!
Love Alfred keeping a watchful eye on everyone at the back.
I did not expect this to be what Hawkman looks like under the mask!
Let’s talk Dr. Fate… Mr. ‘Doesn’t-Care-About-Anyone-Else’ being at Wally’s funeral is so powerful and one of my favourite things about this shot - this is a choice Nabu is making which shows respect for someone he had a brief connection with previously… also, he’s not fully visible so it could be no one else actually knows he’s there which plays into their assumption that he doesn’t care about anyone - but him being there shows there is some level of care/compassion. I really do find Nabu to be such a fascinating character in this show!
And those are my current thoughts on this shot - I think it’s absolutely brilliant and I’m so glad we go to see it! RIP Wally.

in a perfect world Bart wouldn't have gotten knocked out like a chump and we would've gotten a scene of him being immune to Queen Bee. and honestly if Edurado doesn't show up and get to be explicitly immune to Queen Bee than i'm going to lose my mind. like this would be such an easy opportunity to confirm he's gay IN CANON but it wouldn't surprise me if Greg is too obtuse too notice ashjfjahsdf
Tumblr media
I need this so much now. Please. That'd honestly be such a hilarious way to come out.
"OH NO QUEEN BEE CALL IN THE GAY SQUAD" And Bart n Ed can get there asap cuz of their powers god you should write the comic
