That is not even "lying hypocrite" territory; that is just the average effectiveness of the DARE program.

(Are people unironically using "DARE" as an antonym for stoner? I don't have any stake in this particular debate, but I have to ask, because your DARE Robin could do drugs gleefully and I wouldn't even register that as odd. I'd find it weirder if he was regularly drinking alcohol.)

Also, the other things DARE addressed besides (illicit) substance use were gang membership, violent behavior, and other "associated" petty crimes among teens. Maybe you've already failed DARE if your main extracurricular is partaking in an underground operation that engages in extralegal violence in response to your city's problems. Just saying.

So Batman: The Brave And The Bold #9 casually included the most emotionally devastating short I've ever seen and I'm just gonna leave a few panels here because I need you all to suffer with me. To make things clearer, Alfred narrates this whole story.

Okay sooo what if I kms. What then.

New Gotham SWAT Commander Danny

After the Joker once again took the Gotham Gala hostage, the people in the Gala were surprised, as for once the police were able to do anything about it. As the SWAT came in and shot Joker and his goons down.

And saved the Hostage? Bruce Wayne's daughter Cassandra. Not normal.

All were confused; normally, the cops just wait for Batman or fail.

It turns out Gotham had a new SWAT commander who took the shots on the Joker.

Danny was pissed but happy too; he just worked here because his mother's brother, Uncle James, works here too.

Then Dad sent him here to learn about police work and see different kinds of things, not just Amity Park. Just defusing Bombs seem to get boring for Danny.

And the first thing he did at his job was kill a clown gang?

Well worth it.

I have no idea why people look so surprised; it's just a clown with a gun, not Superman.

A gun does the job.

And Cass was here too, the last time he saw her was as she teached Ellie ballet.

As Danny was new, he had no real idea about the crime world of Gotham.

When the Gordons visit, they don't talk about Gotham, and the people in Amity Park never cared about the outside world.

They have their Fenton shield as a defense against alien invasions or similar.

Danny meet the cute Cass as she teached Ellie Ballet, who was the Joker took hostage.

Danny shooting Joker had nothing to do with Cass. He saw it later it was Cass after they were done.

Danny was professional and not lead by emotion. A new clean cop in Gotham.

AU where Jason still does the Red Hood thing, but he specifically shows up when Bruce is in a different country on WE business, Tim is in California with Young Justice, and Dick is on a space mission. This means that at first some people just assume he’s the vigilante that Batman left in charge, before they’re like “ohhhhh, he’s being a crime lord. Okay, yeah, maybe this isn’t sanctioned,” and also he said something about the Bat that sounded SUPER bitter, and not in a “he’s making me take care of Gotham” way

But Gordon is a good detective, so he makes sure to do his research and realizes hey, crime has actually gone down under Red Hood’s rule, and figures “fuck it” and approaches him like “hey, you’re doing a decent job, also here’s a list of cops I’m pretty sure are involved in the mob but I can’t prove it, have fun” and Jason is just like “thank you for the enrichment :)” and two days later half of the people on the list are dead, a quarter have had their personal files leaked to the FBI, and the others have all been given the all-clear via a folder left on the roof of the GCPD headquarters.

Anyway, Jason ends up putting the red bat on his armor not to piss Bruce off (even though that was the original plan), but because he’s become the same symbol of hope as the light shining in the sky, just focused specifically on the long-forgotten East End, specifically Crime Alley. The people love him, Gordon doesn’t really give a shit that he sometimes kills people (he’s been praying for the Joker’s downfall for years now), and it’s the most peaceful the city has been without Batman literally ever.

Bruce comes back full of anxiety and expecting the city to have imploded or sunk into the sea, only to find that… it’s fine. In fact, it’s doing better than average. No rogues are running rampant, crime is down, and when the Bat Signal turns on, instead of the yellow that it’s been for years, it’s glowing blood red (one of the rookies put a filter on it since the normal Bat was still out of town).

He gets to the roof of the GCPD to find Gordon already talking to someone, a man his size with a red bat on his chest and practically dripping in guns. He takes one glance at Batman and leaves, taking a folder with him.

Basically, Jason originally intends to use their absence to cement himself without having to worry about the Bats, but instead accidentally starts to replace him. Bruce is crashing out. Dick is still in space. Tim is in the middle of murdering Santa Claus. Jason, on the other hand, has convinced Gordon to have an active shoot-on-sight order for any time the Joker escapes, and is living his best life

i’m so in love with the idea that the bats just blend into the the shadows that the only thing visible are two white, eye-shaped, glowing orbs, and that it scares the ever loving crap out of everyone who happens to look at them.

the amount of times batman and robin have scared commissioner gordon while he’s on his smoke break are embarrassingly too high for him to admit.

[bats-and-the-birds]

Words can really not express how much I love Jim Gordon as a character.

Jim Gordon who fundamentally knows that he is working in a corrupt system, in a corrupt city, but goddammit, he's trying anyway.

Who doesn't like Batman, really. But he knows that he can't fix everything from working inside a broken system.

Who looks at a strange little boy in a mask take down criminals that his grown officers run from, and every time, without fail, is reminded of his young daughter, and worries.

Who has committed himself to being one of Gotham's last bastions of hope by virtue of simply being a good man.

If Jack is Bruce, then maybe Maddie is...

So! In most stories where Jack Fenton is an alternate universe version of Bruce Wayne, they have Maddie as an Alternate Talia or Selena. But I propose a different path.

We already have another Red-Headed, Serious, good a fighting, can keep Bruce in check, person in Gotham that we can use.

Maddie Fenton, is a Genderswapped version of Commissioner Gordon.

She's a little younger than her alternate self, and much crazier, but otherwise she's pretty much identical to him. No Nonsense, Intelligent, Caring, Protective, and wanting to make the World/Gotham a better place for their Kid(s).

This of course means that Jazz is an alternate Barabara, and Danny is either an alternate Damien or an Alternate Cass (since Barbara and Cass have a sibling-type relationship)

Just a fun idea I had.

[galaxymagitech]

“Name five Batman characters.”

“Robin.” (Dick, Jason, Tim, Steph, Damian)

“Name five more Batman characters.”

“Robin.” (Carrie, Jarro, Duke, Isabella, Daxton, etc.)

“No. Name five Batman characters who aren’t Robin!”

“…Batman.” (Bruce, Thomas, Jason, Dick, Jean-Paul; also Tim)

“Who don’t share a superhero alias!”

“Gordon.” (Barbara, other Barbara, James, James Jr., Sarah)

“Who aren’t related!”

“…define related. Biologically, legally or emotionally?”

“Just five different names! Five different names of Batman characters!”

“Tim, Robin, Red Robin, Drake, Batman.”

“Please, just—”

“I gave you five different superheroes under five different names over the course of this conversation. Robin, Tim, Batman, Red Robin, and Gordon.” (Damian, Tim, Bruce, Jason, Barbara)

[sansnomp4]

The first robin.

[drbatsponge]

Jason Todd, James Gordon Jr., and Victor Zsasz should all be Cassandra Cain rogues but you didn't hear that from me.

They're all antagonists who are the exact opposite of Cass in every way, she needs that Joker type of character, I'm just saying.
