Headcanon: Cass is known for ditching her shoes at galas and parties. No matter what she wears, you can find the pair either between her fingers and slung behind her back, or tucked into Bruce’s tuxedo pant pockets. Bruce doesn’t mind. After all, that’s what dads are for.

No offense but the original Jason Todd resurrection story where he literally has to dig himself out of his grave, and all he can say is “where’s bruce��� as he literally collapses in the road and then slowly learns what’s happened since he died and that is what makes him go all shooty is so much fucking better than the ‘lazarus pit made him crazy’ bullshit that lobdell pulled. Thank you judd winick

It’s beautiful seeing culture celebrated and not suppressed as Jason Momoa, family and friends perform the haka on the Aquaman red carpet.

next time we get a reboot, i want a Batman who isn’t grim, but instead...

he’s unsettling.

Batman’s whole basis is the idea of scaring criminals, right?

well, sure, outright intimidation through brute force works for that.

But the whole reason a bat was chosen is that the average person doesn’t understand how cute and cool they are, and finds them creepy and gross.

So let’s play that up. A Batman who uses his training in escape artistry, stage magic, and contortionism to move in ways people think humans shouldn’t be able to move. A Batman who reacts to things that he shouldn’t be able to (because his suit is wired with sensors and Alfred is monitoring things through hacked security feeds). A Batman who has a Slasher Smile.

Give me a Batman who, for the villains, seems like a cryptid. An urban legend on the level of creepypasta, some half-glimpsed shadow who, instead of being scary because of his muscles, is scary because holy shit what was that? What just happened? I’m outta here, man!

Give me a Batman where his battles with characters like Scarecrow and the Joker seem more like one of those crossover films where two horror movie monsters fight it out.

And then?

Give me a Robin and Batgirl who are the same way.
