Everyone in the bat family is fluent in multiple languages.

And I’m bilingual, so here’s some language blunder moments I’ve had but put through the batfam.

Steph(talking to herself while on sims4): And i can add a scooter there… wait scooter? No it’s a uh… tricycle? No, definitely not… oh my god, the one that hurts on the shins! What’s it called?!

(Looks up ‘the shins hurt thing’. Then edited to ‘the kids toy that hurts shins’ then edited to ‘the kids toy ride thing that hurts shins’ then edited to ‘the kids toy ride wheels that hurts shins’ before finally getting search results not about how to fix shin pain)

(I did do this, today, which is why I am making this post in the first place actually)

Steph: what?! It is called a scooter! I was right the first time!

Dick(getting caught in a lie): I really digged myself a hole didn’t I?

Bruce: Digged? You mean dug. You dug yourself a hole

Dick: Huh? No. I don’t accept that. I’m using digged. Fuck English.

Tim: By the way where’s the uh… (snapping fingers) the uh… oh god what’s it called? The thingy…

Barbara: Just say it in the language you’re thinking. I speak most of the same languages as you by now

Tim: uh… it’s the uh… I don’t know

Barbara: what?

Tim: I forgot the word… in all languages.

Barbara: then I can’t help you.

Jason: oh yea he talks out of his elbows doesn’t he?

Roy(confused): he what?

Jason: talks out of his elbows?

Roy: …

Jason: it’s a saying. Means he talks a lot.

Roy: yea, not an English saying bud.

Jason: … well it should be.

Jon: you’re late

Damian: I am aware. However there was no… I could not see the time because the… uh..

Jon(expecting an excuse): ..?

Damian(frustrated): I know what I am about to say is wrong. I forgot the actual word. There was no watch on the wall. I did not know the time.

Jon(trying not to laugh): you uh… mean a clock?

Damian: shut up.

I made it to my own fyp via content farm video

Idek what to do about this 😭

Dick hallucinating Jason + Very real Jason showing up while he’s on patrol

I’ve seen a few posts about this type of head cannon and I like it so here’s my take for the misinterpreted first meeting.

Dick is doing a stakeout in Crime Alley, crouched on a rooftop.

Jason sees him and wants to tell him to fuck off, but his helmet is lost or broken, or for some other reason not on his head.

Jason: This is my side of town ya know?

Dick (squinting, definitely thinking his is a hallucination): Jason? You’re… older

He doesn’t question the outfit, or the line. Jason did live in Crime Alley after all, and if his brain needed to fill in the blanks of what an older Jason would look like… why not slap his face on the new guy in town?

Dick (sighing): Alright, I guess

Jason (confused): That’s it? You don’t care that I’m here?

Dick: well I’m kind of on the job so it isn’t the best time to break down.

Jason (still confused): …

Dick: Can we like… delay this? Show up on my kitchen while I’m eating cheese out of my opened fridge?

Dick isn’t sure if bargaining will work, he does know that when he’s tired he eats cheese and Jason usually judges him while he’s in the kitchen.

Jason does not know this and thinks this is an invitation to come into Dick’s personal life again.

Jason (surprised): you want me… to show up at your house?

Dick (unsure if indulging a hallucination is a good idea): …yea?

Jason (not a hallucination, and actually happy he wasn’t outright rejected): okay

Jason walks away, and Dick thinks he should probably call his therapist later. But first he’s curious to find out if the older Jason hallucination will actually finish this conversation in his kitchen.

Do you think Tim feels guilty for not questioning Dick’s ‘death’ after the crime syndicate and into the Spyral run?

Yes, Dick’s identity was revealed and his death was somewhat public i think, don’t kill me but I mean after Dick came back from Spyral. And after the arguments of betrayal.

Do you think at some point he might compare his reaction to when Bruce died? How despite seeing the skeleton that superman brought back, he still did everything not only to prove Bruce was alive but to help him get back home. And when Dick died, nothing.

Do you think Tim would realise just how easy it would have been to find out? Bruce had a radio line connection in the cave. Dick was only on the other side of the world, and not in the past after all.

Tim Drake, one of the world’s greatest detectives. Accepted his brother’s death, with no questions, and with no body in the casket.

Dick missing Jason’s funeral always gets me.

Not only did he miss his little brother’s funeral, he’s unreachable the weeks before and after, since he was on Tamaran, and he was having a crisis over the fact Kory was in an arranged marriage, then he gets back to earth and finds out Jason is dead through a newspaper article.

And I’m not fully sure if this was cannon or fannon, don’t crucify me, I got this mainly from fanfic: When Dick checked his answering machine that he had a voicemail from Jason, from before he went to meet his mother.

I definitely think if that’s true that Dick would save that voicemail and listen to it every once in a while, just to make sure he wouldn’t forget Jason’s voice, and mannerisms.

I am obsessed with the idea of Dick Grayson, recently become Nightwing, finding out about Jason being Robin and wanting to be angry at him but then Jason is a ball of sunshine and it melts Dick’s icy anger out before he even says a word.

Like imagine him going to complain about it to the Titians!

Wally: so how was meeting the new kid?

Dick(annoyed): it was horrible! He’s so precious!!

Roy: is that juxtaposition?

Dick: how am I meant to be angry at him for taking my place… when he goes and says “Robin is Magic”! And now what?! Am I meant to say that little boy doesn’t deserve that magic?! That little ball of sunshine that could probably power superman better than our sun does!? He deserves it!

Donna: so you’re still annoyed because?

Roy: he’s angry that he can’t be angry.

[onceabluemoonthoughts]

Tim Drake and Dick Grayson’s relationship hits me right in the feels when I see it.

But damn does their dynamic get pushed under the rug too often! Or just undercut.

Like yes Tim followed Jason!Robin around too but… he was a Dick!Robin fanboy, and Flying Grayson’s fanboy! The boy saw one show, and then accidentally ended up following one of the people he took a picture with by like absolute chance!

(New 52? What new 52? There is no new 52 backstory for Tim, I choose not to acknowledge it thank you)

Yes Damian is Dick’s Robin from when he was Batman, and had literally had Damian under his custody… but that wasn’t the first time he was Batman, and Tim was his Robin for like 6 months the first time. The stakes weren’t as high, Bruce was just injured and travelling around Europe, there was no “I’m going to have to wear this cowl long term” or anything like that. But you get what I mean!

Honestly it actually makes me really sad I can’t find any Tim & Dick fics based on that era. But it’s okay because there are Batman!Dick fics with Robin!Tim set with a different backstory, and I will eat those up every time and still have room for more.

All the Robins looked up to Dick while trying to fill his mantle, heck all kid heroes did since he was the first kid hero at all! But Tim was just such a massive fanboy he practically manifested becoming Robin, and he didn’t even want to become Robin, he wanted Dick to go back to it instead.

Meanwhile Dick when he met Tim was still grieving Jason, and was actually trying to spend time with him because he didn’t get to do that with Jason, always pushing him away saying he’d have time to do it later, and then it was too late. And he’s not making the same mistakes again.

That’s my little rant on those two, because they deserve so much more attention.

Sometimes I wonder what Gothamites think of the different Robins.

This kind of spiralled from Gotham Tok on my fyp all the time, so here’s how I see the progression of how Gotham sees its Dark Knight and Boy Wonder’s:

Pre-Robin Batman:

“Batman isn’t real”

“Batman’s a cryptic”

“Batman is a concept made up by the Gotham PD to scare off criminals”

They don’t believe he’s real. The only people who have actually seen him are hospitalised or in prison, or mentally deranged enough that no one would even believe them.

Enter Dick Grayson:

“What do you mean you saw colour… in the Gotham sky? You mean the red tint every night?”

“Batman and Robin on the paper? No that’s definitely staged. Why would there be a child running around in a leotard, and what, do you think Batman is human?”

They don’t believe again. But they see him grow up, they see meta’s in Gotham led by him. And they accept maybe Robin is an actual person running around with the bat that… might be a person, I mean he has ‘man’ in the same but who knows?!

Enter Jason Todd:

“What do you mean Robin got younger? I thought Robin was in San Francisco now.”

“There’s actual candid shots of the bat and the bird now… maybe it is more than a wives tale.”

First clear pictures on the paper and on the news. People start to actually believe both Robin and Batman exist. But they also knew Robin was in san Fransisco, and taller than 4”10.

Enter Tim Drake:

They don’t notice a single difference between the extremely short 16 year old Jason, and the 13 year old Tim. Goons do however notice the kid wears more armour now and has trousers… good for him.

Enter Stephany Brown:

Any civilians that actually saw her thought it was a costume and a badly picked one, dressing up as a vigilante in Gotham is waiting for someone with a bone to pick.

Enter Damian Wayne:

“Is… robin shorter again… and since when does he stab criminals?”

They once again can’t get a clear picture of Robin. He’s always in the shadows! And he’s fast. Also multiple villains swear he can sound like all sorts of different people. Why can he sound like Amanda Waller?! Goons continuously shit their pants when he just decides to fuck with them and sound like whatever villain they were hired by.

I CONTINUE IN BRAINROT CRACK

Firstly I do know why Jason wasn’t an option for the Robin roster in TTG

That’s right, they show his urn and that’s it, he never shows up alive, this is the bit, and they never go back on it. I can respect the bit.

But back to the actual TTG Robin is actually the Robin from All Star Batman and Robin: the boy wonder:

The Batman in All Star Batman and Robin: the boy wonder who dubs himself “the goddamn Batman” speaks like a child who’s just learnt how to curse, and acts like baby’s first non PG work. He’s an actual asshole to Robin, who still tries his best.

How does this connect to TTG?! It’s a PG version of how much the Goddamned Batman acts like a child. Aka instead of actually helping when something happens

he laughs it off with Gordon.

Does any other version of Batman act silly like this?

Yes, LEGO Batman exists. However Robin seems to be absolutely thriving in that universe.

Let me jump back a bit because that’s off topic: Batman acts like a child, yet Robin is still terrified of making him disappointed or angry. Even though in TTG most Batman appearances are him giggling away with Gordon, or giggling in general.

I get overthinking… but there’s a certain level. I have actually been keeping track of “Robin’s issues” in my notes for another thing altogether while I rewatch TTG, and in the thanksgiving episode, S2EP12, he spends the whole time freaking out about making it perfect, it doesn’t end up perfect and he’s dreading when Batman will see the train-wreck it was, just for him to laugh it off. I’m sure there’s more examples but I’m still rewatching the series rn.

Also an example of the Goddamn Batman acting like a child is him painting a whole room yellow to argue with Green Lantern. It was funny ngl. Wait did I write Batman painted the room? I meant to say he had Robin do it. Still that scene is funny specially asking Hal if he wants lemonade.

I think that’s about enough of this weird rant…

What if Teen Titians go is actually in the Dark Kight returns universe?!?

This is a crack headcannon but just bear with me… I HAVE PROOF!!

This started off as: hmm… robin goes through some hard times here, he’s even got a rat in his room, kinda makes me feel as bad as the All Star Batman and Robin: The boy wonder series… WHAT IF?!?!

Then the obvious stuff comes to mind like Carrie Kelly:

She’s in the Robin roster! Sure Tim Drake is also there and he doesn’t exist in the dark knight universe… or at least we never see him. But he’s a more popular Robin. And why would they put Carrie instead of maybe Steph? Damian? Or even Jason?!

That cutesy one isn’t Jason, it’s golden age Robin, which is still Dick Grayon!

This helps my theory actually because why would they have 2 DICK GRAYSON’S?!?!?

Because one of from a different universe, along with the Tim Drake there. Both from the mainline comics (or at least the golden age Robin would be) meaning TTG Robin could be based on different comics altogether!!

I might add more to this…

Even Cannon DC isn’t taking the whole cannon seriously. It’s impossible with how many retcons there are.

DC cannon is literally just: truth until proven otherwise.

You can’t tell me that Jason Todd was both a ginger professional acrobat who’s parents got killed in an act and then he died his hair black became emo, AND that he was a street kid, who’s dad is in prison and mom who OD’d in front of him before he stole the tires from the Batmobile.

You can’t tell me Tim Drake is both a genius kid who watched the Flying Grayson’s on their last night before figuring out Dick is Nightwing because of a quadruple summersault AND that he got put into witness protection while trying to figure out Batman’s identity, and Drake is actually his middle name that he made his last time because he was in witness protection.

You can’t tell me Damian’s birth was all: from a post-mission consensual activity, a drugged Bruce, AND Bruce and Talia’s DNA in an artificial womb! You can’t have all three, I’m sorry.

DC cherry picks what stories they want to acknowledge or not. Like how they’re definitely just ignoring Gotham war already in the new Red Hood comics.

"but tim is a misogynist in the earliest comics" "but dick cheated" "but jason is a manipulive sadist" pookie if you want to be in this fandom as well as to be sane you Cannot take the whole canon seriously. if we all would do that then- well. you can imagine

I feel like I haven’t heard enough people talk about this.

People keep saying: “Oh Dick is probably one one most likely to follow Bruce’s adopting kids habit”

HE ALREADY STARTED!!
