#also bruce just don't look into it

Duke is Bruce's favourite Robin solely bc of that kick in the face of Hal Jordan.
He's protective of the cave, what can he say.
#The Epic Duke Kick™️#also bc duke seems like he actually follows ordera#he doesn't#if prders and what he wants lines up then great#but he don't care other way#and he's a lucky bastard and the unverse makes it dissapear from bruce's radar#also bruce just don't look into it#he takes it as a blessing it is#he can be delusional when he wants to#batman#dc comics#robin#dc#duke thomas#signal dc#bruce wayne

tired: the bats are so weird and creepy and everyone else is always so normal compared to them!
wired: impulse started fidgeting so hard he just started vibrating and clipped halfway through the floor and part of helen's foot before he realized what he was doing. this is just a normal tuesday
inspired: superman, superboy, and supergirl are sitting together in midair having a mild-mannered midwestern discussion as to which of their nonpowered combatant friends has the most fucked-up looking bones. several of said friends are in the room and really wish they wouldn't do this
#rimi talks#sorry every time i see a ''wow gotham is so weird and everyone else plays straightman'' post or fic i just#speedsters are walking bethesda glitches and supers are freaky powered aliens.#i haven't read as much amazon lore so i don't want to make Inaccurate Jokes but theres Definitely ways for them to be weird as fuck too#like im SURE there are theyre magic and also have superpowers#Everyone In This House Is Kind Of A Freak. All Of Them#constantly thinking abt becketts post of jon asking if he can look at bruce's fucked up skull#bc his dad says batman gets hit in the head nightly and now he's curious and wants to see#fucking devastating man laskdjflkdjs

This... is the most quintessentially Bruce as well as Superbat fucking interaction ever and it's just SO FUNNY.
"There will be secrets actually, we're just gonna be better at pretending we don't have any. But do not fear, Clark. It shall all be under control because you see... I have a plan."
#they don't show Clark's face but you just know he's got the most resigned long-suffering husband look on it#may I also say that Bruce's plan. is basically an unethical surveillance and data-mining project of the superhero community#and Clark's like 'uh. isn't that kinda like the O.M.A.C. project.'#'you know that one time your other unethical surveillance project got used to nearly fuck the whole world over?'#and Bruce goes 'NOOO NO it's different. because this time I'm including YOU in it <3'#and Clark's like 'damn I can't argue with that'#batman/superman (2019) issue 6#bruce wayne#clark kent#superbat#my comic panels

"Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is a vampire in love with a human. Better integration than I could possibly have dreamed."
(just some Sundown The Vampire in Retreat fanart. More details and B&W vers. under the cut, etc).
:)
#I thought this movie was really cute and charming in a lot of ways#also I love Bruce Campbell's look in this one so much I had to draw him#I wanted to make him really warm to contrast her vampiric appearance which is more or less what they do in the movie#although he's pretty gray#I also like the costume designer's attention to detail like everyone is dressed more or less like they would be at the time they died#and a vampire western is just one of those ideas you pull from a hat that sound insane and are#but anyway charming film! I watched it twice this year! Then what! It's full on youtube so it's easier#I feel like she looked more like the actress in the sketch ALSO her actress played Muffy in April Fools Day????!#I fucking love that movie so much and Muffy is my girl she's like such an insane genius I love her to death#that movie is like a very long Are You Afraid of the Dark episode and this movie is a fairy tale with vampires. Iconic choices honestly#sundown the vampire in retreat#bruce campbell#I usually don't tag actors or actresses but I deserve this one#fanart#artists on tumblr#art#digital art#illustration#my art#digital drawing#robert and sandy

Just had a hilarious idea in the Meat Marionette au of Clark idly picking up the robins like oversized chickens without realizing he does so.
Like sure he grew up on a cow farm, but they definitely also had chickens or other poultry for things like eggs.
#meat marionette au#batman au#batman#robin#robins#clark kent#superman#Y'know what he'll pick up and carry Bruce like an oversized calf too#Like others he'll carry like babies or bridal or whatever#But this specific family of creachurs just reminds him of his home#They don't mind if he doesn't act human and it's great!#Home is just also a farm and old habits die hard#No one knows if they should mention it??#Like?? They obviously don't mind Kal picking them up???#But that doesn't look comfortable and they can see the 'traumatized big dog just witnessed the ground disappear' on B's face

Okay, but like. There's the whole joke about Bruce recruiting children to be his sidekicks, but honestly there's only really one that fits that.
And it's Jason. And the whole story there is, frankly, unhinged. Aaaaand then he died.
(I'm specifically talking about "first post-crisis origin stories" here because Jason and Dick, in particular, have both had multiple major retcons and revisions over the years, and some of them dramatically change how things happened.)
Like okay. Going backwards, you've got Duke who joined/led a whole Robin-based gang at a time when Bruce wasn't even Batman. You've got Damian and Cass, who were both literally born into the world of masks and capes and heroes and villains, so they weren't ever really not going to be part of it. Steph might have taken inspiration from previous heroes but she made her own identity and repeatedly refused to stop involving herself in the vigilante lifestyle. Tim, obviously, basically strong-armed Batman into letting him be Robin, despite Batman's protests.
Dick's a little more complicated just because there's so many versions, because that's what 80 years of comics and multiple universe reboots will do, and there's kind of a general trend that earlier pre-crisis versions were more of Batman being like "hello, child, would you like to be my sidekick" and later versions have leaned harder and harder into the idea that Dick was absolutely going to do this anyway, regardless of what Batman had to say about it. But even in the first post-crisis version, the flashback in Batman Year 3, Dick says he wants to find a way to keep people like that from hurting others again. When Alfred questions Bruce's offer to train him, Bruce says that Dick should learn to do things the right way if he's going to do it. It's not hard to extrapolate that, much like later versions of the origin story, Dick was going to get himself into this one way or another. (Batman (1940) #437)
And then there's Jason. Whose backstory has also had a lot of (sometimes major) revisions over the years (remember when his adoption was, like, some kind of Joker-originated long con? Fucken Nu52, man). But the original post-crisis version is pretty straightforward. Steals Batman's tires, gets caught and sent to Ma Gunn's Secret Criminal School, intervenes when Batman goes to investigate, immediately gets offered the chance to be Robin based entirely on that.
Which is itself kind of unhinged. That Bruce saw this kid who was living on his own stealing tires and went "Hey you would make a good Robin" as his very first instinct.
But if you've never read Jason's post-crisis origin, or it's been a while, it's honestly even more unhinged than that because that arc starts with Dick getting "fired" as Robin specifically for the reason that he got shot by Joker and Bruce freaked out about how the Robin identity has too many enemies and therefore Dick, a legal adult with approximately a decade of training and experience, should not use the identity anymore.
(And it's specifically about the Robin identity, in this version, because when Dick says he's not going to stop the crime fighting thing Bruce's response is basically "I know and I didn't expect you to". Honestly I could also say a lot about this version of the Robin/Nightwing transition vs. later ones and how this one definitely feels like the Heavy Hand of DC Editorial in the fact that they had no contact for so long afterwards, because the interaction really doesn't feel like it warrants that in this case compared to some later versions, but that's a whole other too-long ramble.) (Batman (1940) #408)
And then a few weeks later Bruce turns around and picks up a random kid, a literal child, and goes "Hey you would make a good Robin!"
And I think a lot about how fucking wild that is. And it's not like the people writing just didn't notice. Dick's big argument with Bruce when he finally comes back to Gotham and meets Jason isn't about the fact that Bruce took in another kid, or even necessarily about Dick feeling proprietary over the Robin identity, the thing he's angry about is that Bruce said it was too dangerous for him, an adult, someone who has trained with Batman for a decade and was already highly physically trained before that for his whole life, to be Robin, and now Bruce has turned around and painted that target onto some random new kid. He pushes, repeatedly, trying to get Bruce to justify himself and this absolutely irresponsible decision, and Bruce gives a lot of answers about how Jason was on a bad path and needed this outlet and eventually just admits that he missed having a partner. (Batman (1940) #416)
And like. Dick's right, is the thing. He is 1000% in the right in this argument. If he can't be Robin anymore because of the danger, how in the hell is it anything like a good idea to hand it over to someone way younger, way less trained, way less experienced, and expect that that wouldn't end in tragedy?
And then it did.
And yeah, Bruce, it is kinda a lot of your fault.
#And the punchline is Batman clearly should not get to choose his own sidekicks! Haha?#(Sorry this is a lot more serious than my usual Batfam shitposts it won't be a regular habit don't worry)#this is long and rambly but it's something i think about a lot#and it's on my mind extra because of an AU oneshot i'm working on finishing right now#and obviously there's eight kabillion versions of any given origin and reboots and retcons and they change drastically yadda yadda yadda#and also obviously there's always behind-the-scenes editorial choices and other factors when it comes to comics story events#story and character choices are frequently not just a matter of storytelling but of things like meeting editorial demand of What Must Happe#but just looking at the story as presented: the one time bruce specifically recruited someone as his sidekick that kid ended up dead for it#it does make narrative sense given this that bruce's reaction to most of the subsequent kids is initially 'go the fuck home and stop this'#and then only really yielding with the realization that they're totally going to do this shit anyway#jason todd#dick grayson#bruce wayne

Hi! Hello! Welcome to another episode of
Reading Comics For The Plot
(all panels from Batman: The Button)
Look, look! With the blood streak on his brow and that smirk, Eo looks just like the Comedian's yellow pin!
Baby Bat :3
(I assume Bruce is Baby because Thomas is the average sized Bat, at least in Eobard's mind that is)
Don't mind me, I'm still reading this strictly for the plot
HI UMM ARE YOU LIKE, GOING TO BEAT HIM UP MORE OR...
(jokes aside, this story is very good. Tom King's ability to write gritty shit combined with Williamson's ability of just... writing good stories really pays off in this one. Also, )
BONUS!
RrrR.
#I love how ominous these panels look but if you read the story Eo's just#playing#a big cat pawing at a little bat#he's having fun this counts as enrichment for him#TBF this counts as enrichment for Bruce also after all#don't tell me he doesn't like getting beaten up#bruce wayne#eobard thawne#tw blood

Anyway, I think the worst thing Geoff Johns did to Hal's character is that he just made him boring. The fun thing about Hal is that he's the worst man to walk the earth. He's a trainwreck in the making. Every day he wakes up and thinks nothing and makes 20 awful decisions and messes up everything and goes to sleep content in a job well done and it's great. Hal is the Worst Man Ever™. He's a donkey in human form. By all means his personality and skillset makes him the perfect supervillain but he's a hero and he's imperfect and he claws himself back from the brink long after most people would've given up because that's who he is. That's at the core of his character. Even when he's below rock bottom, he never gives up, and god does he hit it, over and over again.
Johns just... erased all that complexity by making Hal the bestest greatest most precious lanterny lantern ever. Suddenly everyone loves him and treats parallax as just a 'hehe! Whoops!' and it sucks because if you take away the fact that Hal is a garbage human being he's just BORING. He's just a boring stereotypical stoic superhero. Who wants to read that! Who wants to read about Universe's Best Most Precious Greatest Man Gets Praised And Solves Every Problem And Is Never Wrong. Like at least when batman does it they try to give us a detective story. Usually it's not a good detective story but they at least try. Hal doesn't need to do detectiving. He can solve pretty much anything with the ring on his finger. He's invulnerable and powerful and perfect and let's be real, at this point he barely has a secret identity. There's nothing adding stakes to the story, not when Hal the best boy is here.
It's so fucking boring!! It's genuinely an injustice to his character. Hal's much more interesting when he makes every single bad decision, ever, and then has to dig himself out of the hole that he dug. That's someone I can root for. That's a character I can develop complex feelings about. If you just hand me the perfect being in creation I feel nothing. I'm already bored.
#in conclusion thank you Jeremy Adams for feeding me. that man is the worst man in existence. i want to put him in the juice presser#like you look at hal and you just know he never replaces his toothbrush#hal jordan#meta#i guess#this is also how i feel about ollie btw#men who are the worst 🤝#im more okay (though still annoyed) by Bruce being the best because the whole point of his stories is that he's so smart he can solve any#mystery. there's other things driving the stakes. plus he's more limited in power so even when he's the Best there's still narrative tension#hal is just too op for something like that to work#and for other characters like superman who are also op they thrive off of a nonpowered supporting cast#but Hal's supporting cast are all other lanterns. or like. superman.#like you don't need to be the Worst Man Alive to carry a narrative through the strength of your personality as Wally demonstrates#but you still need a PERSONALITY#you can't have a personality if you're the best at everything always

One of the biggest lies DC sold me is that Alan Scott and Batman/Bruce Wayne have barely any interaction together
Like, what do you MEAN Alan "Dressed-up-in-bizarre-clothes-to-scare-criminals" Scott didn't influence Bruce to become a scary crimefighter of his own?? What do you MEAN Alan didn't become Bruce's mentor and teach him how to vigilante, literally hOW
#I don't know everything that was going on in the comics at the time and they had like one teamup but still#You have a Green Lantern and Batman who lived in the same city!!#How do you proceed to do absolutely NOTHING with that???#It's literally!! Right there!!!#/sigh anywAY#Alan is Bruce's (and Hal's) mentor#This is canon now you're welcome#As much fun as I think it would be I also think Bruce just really needs a second elder in his life he can look up to and trust~#alan scott#green lantern#batman#bruce wayne#dc#dc comics#dc headcanon

dang it i miss when jason was a self serving asshat of a character that was consumed by his desire for revenge and was willing to do whatever it takes to prove his point
#i'm sorry jason stans that like him being a tragically misunderstood 'good' guy deep down#i just want him to be an insufferable bastard so bad#i don't normally like 'villain' characters but i liked preboot jason#like he's very contradictory but it works when you look at him in the framework of his no 1 top priority and desire being revenge#he's working to impose his own revenge on Bruce even though Bruce is dead#by making Gotham in Bruce's image through his own methods#but the thing is his methods won't work#but he doesn't slow down and take time to examine them because of his rage and anger#and so he's just on this quest to prove Bruce wrong at all costs in a one-man war that he will not and cannot win#when the person he was trying to prove things to has already died#so what's the point? is the logical question#but jason's so wrapped up in revenge he won't ask it#the tragedy of a character so wrapped up in their own pain that they can't see all the needless suffering they're causing as they burn#eveything down around them is just so. it's fun to watch the fire you know?#especially when you know it was preventable#it's also just like. people are contradictory and we hold contradictory beliefs all the time. and it wasn't intentional but i liked it#momo don't look

Pavitr reminds me of Dick so much. They would be besties and bond over their hair together 😭
#Someone please draw them going over hair grooming tips#They would have sleepovers and gossip#Them fighting togeter. Spidey with his gold web things (I'm sorry I know they likely have a name but don't know it. Lmk if you do please)#And Nightwing with his batons#Omfg they'd be so powerful. And HILARIOUS#Pavitr would be gushing over his gf (I forgot her name I'm sorry) and Dick over Wally#Jason and Hobie would also probably be friends#Tim and Margo. Or Margo and Babs??#People may think Bruce and Miguel. Getting mistaken for a vampire resonates. But Miguel beat down a child so#I know he's hot but at what cost#So I raise you Bruce and Peter. Peter would show Bruce all of Mayday's pics and Bruce would show Peter pics of his kids in return#The wholesome dads would bond and gush over their kids#Gwen Cass and Steph would be besties#Kate and Jess have brunch dates over having to deal with everyone else#Duke and Miles too. They're both. Done. With everyone around them#They look around at the chaos and dip.#I feel like Tim and Miles would chill too. Like Miles uses some of Tim's photography as art inspo. Or Tim pictures some of Miles art#Speaking of Damian and Miles would get along too. So much painting and parkour#Alfred Damian and Pavitr have tea parties. Hobie comes over just to bother Alfred. Alfred secretly loves Hobie#Miles would be like. They want me to let my dad die :/#And Bruce would be torn between letting it happen so he could adopt him. But in reality actually go feral on Miguel's ass#Because Been There Done That. He wouldn't want Mikes to go through it too#Spiderman Across The Spiderverse#Spiderman Into The Batverse#Spiderverse Spoilers#Across The Spiderverse Spoilers
