Damian enrages a ghost from the GZ after they said there's no one who works harder than them to keep thier city safe. The ghost decides to switch the bats of Gotham with Danny Phantom so now the bats are stuck In Amity Park protecting the place and Danny is stuck protecting Gotham as Phantom.

The bats are playing thier cards close to thier chests cause all of these heros showing up the same time as thier civilian counterparts is going to be super suspicious so they gotta be clever.

Danny in the meantime is kinda freaking out but the ghost had at least told them what was going on before booting everyone out of thier respective dimensions. Luckly for Danny Nightwing is officially Bludhavens hero not Gothams and he and "Agent A" help him learn the ropes properly. Danny is glad to finally have a mentor despite the situation. Nightwing seems thrown when Phantom mentions it and starts asking a lot of questions about both his home life and his hero career back in his home world.

Needless to say neither he nor Alfred are pleased and don't want him to go back. Danny doesn't really wanna go back either but what else could he do?

Turns out he didn't need to cause one bat is scary enough, but nearly the whole flock? Disaster. Especially for Vlad, the GIW and the Fentons.

"Nightwing."

Dick froze halfway across a rooftop, the lights and gunshots of Bludhaven disappearing in an instant. A scowl flashed across his face, teeth clenched and bared, before he forced it back. His face smoothed back out and his voice took on a pleasant, amused tone. "Slade. How did you get this frequency?"

"Nevermind that," Slade scolded. "We have more important things that need discussing, and information to be revealed."

"Is this about Constantinople?" He asked with a lilt, propping one hand on his hip. "Because I thought I told you, those geese totally counted as villains and deserved arrest--"

"I found a child vigilante. What do I do with it?"

"Ex-cuse me?" His fist clenched. "Is this a trick question?"

"No."

"What do you mean, 'what do I do with it?' You know what to do with it; you become its nemisis when their 15 and haunted them for the next decade." His voice was thinly-veiled rage. He couldn't stop himself from shaking. That poor kid, Slade has his sights set on them. He's going to torture that kid, or worse, and now I have to track Slade's trail back to wherever he found this kid--

"I can't do that! He's only eight years old!"

"What?"

"There's this eight year old meta brat running around a Mid-West town in his pajamas while adults shoot at him. There isn't a mentor in sight, and one of the kid's rogues has threatened to skin him. What. Do. I. Do?"

#Dick: IDK man you smelt it you dealt it. congrats on the new kid; i'm sure rose and joey will be happy #dc x dp #dcxdp #dpxdc #dp x dc #c: slade wilson #c: dick grayson #c: danny fenton #child danny fenton #reluctant murder uncle slade wilson #dick grayson's well of unending rage #slade will reluctantly mentor this child #maybe it will help him murder the mayor he was hired to assassinate #Batman: Why did you encourage Deathstroke to steal someone's child!?!?!?#Dick: first of all he's been avoiding child support and custody for over a decade. I'd assumed he'd keep the trend going!

Nice Cosplay, dude!

It was supposed to be a simple mission. Just get in, beat the criminals, dismantle the bomb and get out again, preferably with no injuries so they all would get to enjoy Alfred's cookies at the end of the night.

But no. Of course things couldn't be simple. Not when Constantine suddenly enters their coms, screaming something about a multidimensional rip and then Jason shouting something about seeing a whirlpool of green that feels very very bad and then Dick started cursing at B being stubborn and....

Tim buried his face in his hands. At least thanks to Jason seeing that Lazarus Pit like Portal everyone believed him this time that Bruce was still alive but this time not lost in time but apparently thrown into another dimension. Though that wasn't making the situation any better. Because Tim was sure Alfred was the only reason the Manor was still standing otherwise his siblings and himself included would have destroyed it by now.

Damian's enraged shout echoed through the Cave, followed by another death threat made by Jason and then Dick's attempt at being the voice of reason. Dear god, they needed to figure out where B was or someone might die.... or at least get maimed by his siblings be it a criminal or one of them.

Hopefully Constantin or anyone else of the JL Dark will have figured out in which dimension B had gotten thrown into.

Meanwhile...

Batman was staring down at the white-haired kid with Lazarus green glowing eyes wearing a jumpsuit and still had green splatter on his cheeks. The kid was grinning at him with big round eyes that reminded him of Dick when he was younger.

He would have believed the kid innocent if it weren't for 1. The glowing green eyes that reminded him of his second oldest phases of pit madness and 2. The fact that he had just watched the kid beat up a ghost like being he, Batman, had not been able to land a single hit on before imprisoning that being into a thermos.

The kid clearly was a vigilante in the working and for a split second Bruce wondered how his children would react to an interdimensional sibling if he mentored the kid. First of all... the boy needed more protection. That flimsy suit was not offering enough of that. Second the kid should wear a mask. Running around with his face openly in view would only spell trouble for the boy and thitd training the kid needed to learn-

"Wow dude, that's an awesome cosplay of Batman! It looks like it's right out of the comics!"

Batmans thoughts on mentoring the kid came to a screeching halt as he stared at the kid. And gruffly repeated. "Comics?"

most of the discourse surrounding the question "are the Robins child soldiers?" could be solved if people simply read other comics. like, do y'all have this energy for Flash and Green Arrow and the Marvels and the Teen Titans? Do you call Donna Troy and Jaime Reyes child soldiers too? I am begging people to simply accept genre conventions and set yourselves free from this nonsense take

#basically every single DC hero has at least one child/teenage hero they mentor! if Batman is recruiting child soldiers so is everyone else!#dc comics #robin #batman #dick grayson #jason todd #tim drake #stephanie brown #damian wayne

GUYS. GUYS I’VE CONNECTED THE DOTS. I’VE CONNECTED THE DOTS.

#dc universe #damian wayne #dick grayson #nightwing #ninjago #ninjago kai #lloyd garmadon #ninjago lloyd #Ok but the weird nuanced relationship of brother or father figure #The child of a villain with relations to the older one’s mentor being raised in a immoral environment #and then having to be taught the difference between right and wrong #All while the older one has to work through his own problems and trauma

something i’m just realizing about the “dick is damian’s parent” fics is that they often point out that after bruce came back, dick left for bludhaven immediately. but i just realized that’s not quite true.

bruce came back, and there were briefly two batmans (batmen?) at the same time. and then bruce left the country to go set up batman inc, for some weird reason, and dick stayed as batman to resolve some final issues. so yeah dick and damian kept being batman and robin for a good bit of time after bruce returned. do with that information what you will

#dick is damian’s parent is my favorite fic trope at the moment lol #i love how he fuckin hates dealing with this kid but also loves him like he’s his own son #and damian starts idolizing dick; his mentor his hero his caregiver; while also being a little shit (but less genuinely aggressive abt it)#every batfamily relationship is so complicated and great #dick grayson #damian wayne #bruce wayne #mine #my favorite dick scene with him is in nightwing when damian calls #and dick is like fuckkkkk i don’t wanna pick up bc then i’ll have to TALK to him 😩😩😩#and my favorite damian interaction is when dick is showing him a birds nest while they’re on the tallest building in gotham #and damian goes ‘wowwww this is SO interesting i can’t wait to tweet about it’#they’re both so insufferable lmao i love them

I’m begging for you to expand on your no robins concept, it’s so cute 🥺

I simply adore the image of Battinson modifying toys into looking like gadgets when they're, In fact, not gadgets. Jason thinks his squeaky shoes make him invisible.

Dick thinks his cape makes him fly without questioning why he needs to have his eyes closed first (Bruce puts his squirrel costume to good use)

They have their own utility belts. Filled with candy, bandages stickers, markers and crayons, epi pens (even if Jason insists he's not allergic to peanut butter. Peanut butter is too delicious and holy to be allergic fo)

snacks and WE business cards for the homeless, and yummy homemade treats for stray cats and dogs!!

They'll also pull at Bruce's cape (the fact that he's in the middle of fighting someone is irrelevant) and demand he comes look at their chalk drawings, or just to pet dumpster cats

#no robins au #bruce wayne #dick grayson #jason todd #batfam #batdad #i wish ppl talked more abt how traumatic it had to be to like. be a robin and not only watch your mentor get beat up but also ur DAD #like sure it rarely happens but i soo would read something abt bruce getting injured severely and dick and/or jason being scared #bc theyre KIDS and this is their DAD. oof

I have seen some disclosures in the past about how fandoms force a non-existence "found family" dynamic between the characters then forcibly turn that found family into a "nuclear family" where they will make one character be the "dad" while one character is the "mom" and everyone else are siblings when that's not the case and while I definitely know what people mean by that and have seen it happen before, I feel like in the context of the "Batfamily," some people are taking it too far into the opposite direction.

Like first of all, depending on how you divide them, the "Batfamily" is made up by characters who are either literal family or just close friends/lovers, so I can understand why grouping all of them together and labeling them as one big family may sound confusing (but always remember, Wayne family =/= Batfamily)

Characters like Barbara, Stephanie and Duke (I might even throw in Tim & Cassandra, since they both were only adopted at 17) absolutely have an "unconventional" familial ties to each other and to Bruce, so I personally don't think you should be so eager to fit them all into a stereotypical nuclear familial roles, especially since all the characters I mentioned above (except for Cass) have one or two loving parents who have raised them all on their own without the help of Bruce and are still alive and present in their child's life (except Tim, whose parents canonly died a couple of years ago in-universe).

With that being said, sometimes characters just so happen to fit the bill of a stereotypical "nuclear family" in canon and not wanting to accept that because the children are adopted/not related by blood to their parents is fucked up.

And I say that mostly about Dick and Jason, who for for all intent and purposes were both fully adopted at 9 and 11 respectively (ignoring rectons that aged them up or the fact that Dick was a ward at first only because single men couldn't legally adopt in the 40's), so it doesn't matter how you go about it, Bruce is 100% their father and they are 100% his sons, no ifs or buts.

For me, I have seen too many people trying to down-play the fact that Batman is canonly a dad (maybe because they don't think its cool? Idk) by pretending that him and his literal children are just a found family or just partners and accusing anyone who refer to them as parent-and-child of diminishing this found family and forcing them into a "nuclear" family when that's not case with them.

Referring to an adult man who fully adopted a young child to raise them as his own as that child's dad isn't forcing them into a nuclear family, because he's LITERALLY their dad? That's just common sense.

#btw this still apply to Tim & Cass #the reason I separated from Jason & Dick is because their relationship with Bruce is a bit too unconventional #in the sense that Bruce didn't start out being Tim's dad #he was his mentor at first #and only adopted him at 17 when Tim's loving dad (contrary to fanon) died #and with Cass.....I mean lets be real they hardly interacted after Bruce adopted her #canonly Barbara was more of a parent to her than him #he's still their dad tho but again THEY are not a nuclear family #Bruce Wayne #jason todd #dick grayson #Stephanie brown #tim drake #cassandra cain #duke thomas #barbara gordon

Dick Grayson is crying, screaming, throwing up with that elder sibling angst.

Does anyone else think about how he moved out before he even knew he'd be an older brother?

His dad is being a complete ass to him and bam! A kid, a child that can actually understand what's going on, is thrown into his life. A teenager his dad is dragging into the role Bruce had pushed Dick out of.

Then, when he, as a not quite an adult himself, can finally process and put away that grief to help his suprise sibling: his brother dies.

He finds out after the funeral is over. He barely started to be an older sibling to the kid, couldn't even bid him goodbye, and he has to live with the fact that he has failed his brother. There's nothing that can change that.

Then, Bruce is being an ass again. Another child is dragged into that same godsdamned role. That role he crafted from the bones of his parents. The outfit he was pushed from. The funeral shroud that wrapped the kid he isn't sure he can call his brother.

So Dick tries again. He tries to be better, do better. He can't quite protect Tim from Bruce, especially because Tim isn't legally Bruce's kid. He still tries. He loves his youngest brother.

Then Jason comes back to life, but he's so angry. He's bitter and hurting and lashing out. Dick knows it's partly his fault.

Then Damian comes into the fold. This kid is angry and hurting and lashing out. He tries to be an older brother to these two despite how they push him away. It's painful to be rejected, but he still tries.

He is reassured that he's been there for Tim. He's been the older brother that Tim needs. So he tries to be there for Damian too. He really tries.

He tries even when he becomes the kid's father instead of his brother. He succeeds. He became the family that the kid didn't want at first but so desperately needed.

It's only when his dad comes back that he realizes he failed Tim and Cass.

Anyways, Dick's definitely tugging on his hair and rocking himself back and forth on his bathroom floor as he contemplates how little he knew about being a brother and how much he hates himself for not being enough for his siblings.

#dc comics #dick grayson #dick grayson angst #dc nightwing #it's not dick's fault but how often has he been told that #when the mentor wears guilt like a responsibility the student picks up that habit #dick grayson needs a hug #older sibling angst

I gave myself a writing challenge and I am fascinated by it

So basically I put the robins in a randomizer to give them a new order/role (because I just...kinda wanted to see what would happen + I like role-reversal AUs) and got results that are giving me a fucking brain blast.

Stephanie, the first sidekick who defines the role

Tim, the sidekick who dies and comes back wrong

Dick, the sidekick who saves Batman from himself

Damian, the sidekick who was never supposed to be a sidekick but would go on to prove everyone wrong

Jason, the youngest sidekick who is still the Kid Wonder

...So this is fucking wild. I've got some ideas and several of these fit perfectly (Dick's role is pretty similar to his one in canon), but some of these are fucking INCREDIBLE to explore (Steph being the first Robin is something I never even considered but tbh I kinda love it).

I probably won't write a fic or anything because tbh I don't like publishing my writing that much, but I might expand this into a full AU and post about it. I might randomize other stuff too (ie, stuff that I cannot change vs stuff that I cannot keep the same) but this fucking rules as a starting point.

#uhhh what am I calling this??#randomizedrobinsau #stephanie brown #oh my god I am so excited to figure out how tf to write this.#because she's my favorite of these characters and having HER be the first sidekick + the one who has a mentor/older sister relationship #with the others?? kickass. though I'll probably keep her and Tim's relationship as 'dating-then-exes' because I think it's funny #and then SHE can be the Robin who Tim got fixated on + figured out her identity?? holy fuck and then the angst of Tim later dying #Tim Drake #tbh I kinda wish he'd gotten a different position because 'sidekick who dies' Tim has kinda been done a lot with the standard #reverse robin aus. But it'll still be fun to write. Definitely going the Joker Junior route with this because Batman Beyond kicks ass #Dick Grayson #He'll honestly probably be the easiest. Like...his role has not changed much outside of being younger/not the one who defines this #But I still think it'll be good to see how well I know Dick beyond his eldest brother thing (which is my best way of relating to him)#Damian al ghul #damian wayne #oh this is gonna kick ass #Bruce does not want his son to be a sidekick but Damian just kinda forces his way into that role #and everybody doubts him because of his history with the league but he later proves himself more than capable #to the point that he can set out mostly on his own and still thrive #Jason Todd #Jason being the baby of the family is also something I have never thought about but holy shit it could kick ass #I really hope that I don't roll 'Jason must die' or 'Robin 5 must die' on the randomizer. I just kinda want Jason to live this time #But unfortunately I double-screwed him because he's on the 'must happen' wheel twice now. I did not think these prompts through #TBH I am so happy that none of them rolled their OG roles. because that would have been so fucking boring

do you think people remember that dick and talia were supposed to be around the same age when talia was introduced or is this knowledge that i'm still cursed with remembering every single time someone goes "talia beefed with a ten year old".

#dick grayson #talia al ghul #dick :handshake: roy: their mentors date someone close to their age #seriously dick is supposed to be about college aged when talia shows up for the first time #and talia too is supposed to be college aged #part of her earlier story arc is that she is learning to be a person OUTSIDE of ra's (coming of age story in a sense)#i know this has been retconned to hell and back #but i can't help but laugh #it also makes their beef to each other make a LOT more sense tbh....#the idea of talia beefing with a ten year old makes me go ????? :sob:

Dick Grayson: Do you know how I broke up with Babs so I could start dating Kori again?

Wally West: Absolutely, that was really hard for you.

Dick: Yeah. That actually never happened.

Wally : What do you mean?

Dick: I'm still dating Babs.

Wally: ...What do you mean?

Dick: I'm dating both of them and neither one of them knows it and I feel terrible about it.

Wally: But Barbara is gone.

Dick : She's...

Wally: What do you mean?

Dick: She's not gone.

Wally: So you broke up with Kori.

Dick: I didn't break up with either one of them.

Wally:

Wally: What do you mean?

Dick: You process this however you need to process this. If you want me to keep talking-

Wally: Which one are you dating?

Dick: Both.

Wally: Are you dating Kori?

Dick: I'm dating Kori.

Wally: Are you dating Barbara?

Dick: Yes.

Wally: How do you do that?

Dick: They made me choose.

Wally: You have to choose! You can't have both women!

Dick: What was I supposed to do?

Wally: You think you can have a bunch of wives?!

Dick:

Wally: You get one wife! This is the way the world works!

Dick: Why?!

Wally: I don't know.

#incorrect batman quotes #dickbabs AND dickkory #i feel like people forgot that it was canon that dick cheated on kori when they were engaged...#so this quote actually isn't too ooc #wally west #dick grayson #new girl quotes #i mean one's mentor was barry “wife guy” allen #and the other was bruce “playboy diaster” wayne #so... yeah

I was watching teen titans and thinking about how Slades obsessed with making Dick his apprentice and Tim has Ras whose similar and I was like wow Batman just trains assassin magnets ig

And then I thought hey what if it was reversed like Ras and Slade already had the robins as their apprentices before they met Batman and then were like "hey Batman will you train my apprentice for me" and Batman was like sure.

& then as soon as he got handed the children he went hmm. Well actually I think I am going to make them my sons. obvs they're like "hey give them back" but Bruce goes "I already introduced them to Alfred so no <3"

#tim drake #dick grayson #batfam #batman #alfred pennyworth #Ras shows up like: timothy come w me rn #tim: let me ask my grandpa #Ras: thats not--#tim with alfred standing behind him with a shotgun: he said no #also i didnt mention in post but in this scenario/au batman is a bit morally grayer like an antihero or smthn #bc idk why he would be cool to train slade or ras apprentice otherwise #dami is also kind of this canonically but in a slightly different way bc he also like chose to not go back to the league on purpose yknow #so he fits right into this #i doubt david cain would go for this w cas but if it were somehow possible she could also 100% fit this #idk if theres assassins obsessed w jason like this tbh. it would b funny if he was literally the only relatively normal one in this au tho #jason:so how did u guys come to be adopted by b #the rest of them: oh our assassin mentors asked him to train us but then he decided to keep us instead #jason: . okay i guess. he just sort of picked me up off the curb #qondoejdk if jason was the only one in this au who didnt kill lmao #dc #anyway this is kind of nonsense but whatever

31 Days of Dick (Grayson)

Day 1. Quote

Justice League of America (2006) #55

Because last year I picked quotes that were a bit more inspirational, this year I decided that the other two were going to show Dick being a bitch, lol

Nightwing (1996) #112

Outsiders (2003) #47

#31DOD #the first one is like yeah love mentor!Dick #and kinda reminds me of the Prodigal era where Dick was such a mess and doubting himself every 3 seconds #and Tim was like “wow Dick is awesome and the best of the best #the one with Slade ugh. love that Dick knew exactly what to say to hurt him #And throwing Joey´s name on his face #and considering the era just...aejfhdcucbwd #and the Outsiders one is a classic lmao #only nitpick is that it would have been perfect if it have been Roy reacting and not Owen #dick grayson #nightwing #slade wilson #owen mercer

Dick: We're going to go undercover in the circus as acrobats!

Garth: uh, I'm not sure that's the best idea-

Dick: WE'RE GOING TO GO UNDERCOVER IN THE CIRCUS AS ACROBATS AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO FUCK IT UP 😁😁😁

#side note #dick saying that donna garth and wally are all trained acrobats implies to me that he personally trained them #at least wally #garth and donna i could see being taught by their mentors but barry doesn't know anything about acrobatics #dc #dc comics #the flash #kid flash #wally west #robin #Nightwing #dick grayson #donna troy #wonder girl #garth #aqualad #tempest #teen titans #fab five
