Wait, how tf did I miss this.

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures #7

You're telling me Forever Evil happened in this universe? You're telling me SPYRAL happened in this universe? I'll have to hope that everything went down very differently because otherwise there's a lot to unpack there that clearly this comic isn't ready for.

Dick Grayson's talent for manipulation literally brings the world to its knees.

Part 1 post

My absolute favorite trait about Dick aside from his craziness is his ability to control every single person in existence. The best part is, he's so clever in the way that he does it that people almost never notice.

Bart Allen

"Oh! Ahh..you're trying to get my DNA sample. You need my spit! Ha! That's such a Dick Grayson thing to do."

Bart knows!! Dick's brilliantly sly okay. Honey catches more flies that vinegar? He takes it so far that breaks he the ceiling with it because by the time he's done, people don't even know they've been manipulated. And if they do, then what can they do about it? He always wins.

With friends and family he does it to make them feel better without being so overt and discomforting them.

Justice League: Road to Dark Crisis

Jon came to him when he was feeling lost and upset and Dick set up the perfect conditions to encourage him and pick him up. He's just so good at doing what he's doing but he does it for all the right reasons.

But the extent Dick can go trick and manipulate someone is off the charts. A virtuoso.

In a Titans comic, Dick literally spent MONTHS acting depressed and weak after Donna, Wally, and Garth were kidnapped to another dimension by a villain just so he could trick the villain into thinking that his career was over and bring him into the same dimension so Dick could take him down.

He fooled everyone.

Teen Titans: The Silver Age TBP 2 Part #1

"Batman taught me how to be a totally convincing actor! So if the only way you could send me here with your ring was if I filled my brain with evil thoughts, I just faked it! My facial expression was pure evil-but my mind remained pure good." MONTHS.

He planned, pretended, and calculated every single fiber of his own mind and body until the whole world was fooled by his acting. He tricked an interdimensional being who had psychic access. That means he was so extraordinarily manipulative, he can control his own thoughts inside his head to trick someone else. Voldemort's legilimens has nothing on Dick's talent.

Like Bart, sometimes his allies are aware of this like with Selina-

Gotham City Sirens Issue #23

Selina's literally having a mental breakdown trying not to fall for Dick's manipulation and tricks.

But even if they know he's manipulating them, they still are forced to fall for it anyway.

Gotham City Sirens Issue #23

"Damn it."

Like a goldilocks mad scientist - he does it just right.

His acting is just so on point that he outschemes the schemer.

When the Crime Syndicate (Superwoman, Ultraman, Owlman, Power ring, etc) arrive on Earth to take it over when Dick is Batman, Dick needs to do something fast. But to make things worse, there's a being that's so powerful, that both the Crime Syndicate and Justice League combined have a snowball's chance in hell of defeating him.

So what does Dick do? He runs the game.

Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52

Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52

"Of course he had a plan the whole time. He's Batman. He always has a plan."

Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52

He tricks everyone.

Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52

And in the end, the Justice League wins and Dick saves the world.

Justice League of America (2006) Issue #52

I love how they characterized Owlman as a snake because that would make Dick a mongoose since mongoose eats snakes. And do you know what Mongoose represent in folklore? Action, adventure, boldness, fearlessness, impulsiveness, independence, optimism, rebellion, resistance, resourcefulness, speed, adaptation, agility, quickness, intelligence and wit. All characteristics that define him.

He plays the world like a chessboard, always five steps ahead.

He always has an ace hidden up his sleeve.

His thoughts are always masked behind a disarming smile.

He has mastered the art of manipulation.

And that's while he's outright fighting. His subtlety is just so seductive.

Take a look at the way he smoothly evades answering in this panel -

Grayson Issue #9

He's so smooth. She's constantly on the watch but she instantly fell head over heels for his charms in a half a heartbeat, that's just how good he is.

Grayson Issue #10

He's a master manipulator who knows exactly what to say and how to act to always end up winning.

It's seriously such a shame that one of his greatest skills and talents isn't talked about more because this man?! Flawless.

He's the spy everyone on TV wishes they could be. He's the type of spy people read about in history books and marvel at the ease, grace, and legendary story he leaves behind. He's the spy that everyone knows and dreams of in their fantasies.

Nightwing (2016)

And oh how they so are.

He can just get people to do whatever he wants.

There's a reason why Batman's only contingency plan against Nightwing is "Let's hope he fucks up." Because with his intelligence, skill, power, charisma, and raw talent - he's goddamn unstoppable.

one of my favorite things about dc comic books is how so many of them are just official fanfiction.

like you want a royal au? earth 118

genderbend? earth-11

wild west? earth-18

steampunk? earth-19

soviet union? earth-30

vampires? earth 63

animals? earth-26

Fanfic Idea

I've always been curious with DC Earth-3 and this is just an idea I want to share and it's something that's been in my head for a long while…

Batman in Earth-3, but with a twist...

Batman dies and his soul is transfers into the corpse of Bruce Wayne of Earth-3. With the corpse healed and revitalize, as if it didn't mummified. Batman assess, and take action; ignoring the pain, he kept digging until he reaches to the surface. He manages to dug himself out. Batman (or just Bruce for now), stuck in a body of a child, in an earth where the superheroes are evil. As he wanders in Gotham, Bruce is cornered by some thugs, Bruce fought back, with his current body he mimics the fighting style of Robin. One of the thugs has a gun and is about to shoot Bruce, but Jokester came in and helps Bruce. Thomas Wayne Jr, is then notified that someone desecrates family graves, particularly his brother's. He finds his corpse missing. He investigates and he finds his brother, alive and didn't age.

and that's where my idea ends... Next

I have more of a question than a request, what do you think the Crime Syndicate’s assistant would be like? And what do you think would happen if the JL’s assistant was swapped with the CS’s assistant?

This was a really fun ask, thank you for existing!!

I think the Crime Syndicate's assistant would be like Mercy from Lex Luthor, someone who's conscious about everything they do and doesn't care, they're just there to do their job🤷🏻 and if the Crime Syndicate was yandere for them too, the assistant would be as indifferent as the JL's assistant is, that is, if the CS don't commit, yk, worse crimes to them. Like, the JL stalks Reader, but that's it, the CS might do something worse, scratch that, they WOULD do something worse, since they're villains, and it would break their team and the whole world in the process. But if they didn't do anything for the sake of business? Yeah, the assistant would be indifferent

And if they swapped places? JL's Reader got the shortest stick, I think the CS would want their assistant back! And they would use JL's Reader as bait for the JL, and torture them to give them the JL's secrets and weaknesses, and threaten to kill them. They're ready to kill Reader, until the JL stops them. And if they instead get obsessed with Reader, it isn't much better either, they're still fucked, just in a different way. In the meanwhile, the JL wouldn't fall for the evil assistant, especially since this one is probably acting against them to help their bosses do evil multiversal shit. Some of them might think they're a victim, but it falls short. They want Reader back.

Hi! I was wondering if you could do a Pregnant Super woman from the crime syndicate x reader,like she's 9 months pregnant but she's still a the baddest villian around but when she's home with her husband she's so soft and gentle with him?

Superwoman flies down and lands a little off balance…

She touches her belly…

Superwoman: you’re a fighter alright. I love that.

She walks in to find Y/N cooking dinner…

Superwoman: your two favorite goddesses are home

Y/N: welcome home my loves

Y/N hugs her tight and then kisses her pregnant belly…

Superwoman: you know…I think this life is the only one I want. Just you, me and our baby
