yall what is up with people saying that tim and duke have opposite philosophies on robin?

tim thinks batman needs robin. duke (from what i've seen i will admit i haven't read as much of duke) thinks robin doesn't need batman.

those things... those things can coexist. they're compatible. tim never says robin needs batman. because. because robin doesn't need batman.

"gotham needs batman, batman needs robin." that's the Tim Philosophy. using batman as a transitive property, which is basically saying "Gotham Needs Robin," which is also true and compatible with duke's thoughts on robin not needing batman?

like. like these are two very very compatible ideologies. they don't contradict one another.

"batman needs robin" is not the same as "robin needs batman"

therefore "batman needs robin" can coexist with "robin doesn't need batman"

there isn't. there isn't a conflict there.

*a shaking video of the Waynes sitting in a beautiful den, doing various activities*

Stephanie’s voice spoke behind the camera: Bruce?

Bruce: hm?

Steph: Who would you safe from a burning building?

*all heads snap in his direction*

Bruce: depends

Bruce: which one of you started the fire?

*laughter and yelps of outrage*

Damian, scoffing: if either of you is incapable enough to require aid in escaping from a burning building you deserve to perish

Tim: safe to say, Damian would save his animals

Damian: bold of you to assume they’re not trained enough to manage on their own

*in the background, freshly taken in Duke looked into the camera with an expression that was somehow both deadpan and asking for help*

Nightwing: "Okay, we're splitting into teams to handle the islands, everyone use flares to signal danger or needing support, capische?" *Starts handing them out*

Batgirl: "Not enough."

Signal, passing his to Robin: "I'm good without one."

Gordon, skeptical: "You think you won't need help?"

Signal: "Not all of us need the cavalry to cross the street. But if I did, I'd just--"

Spoiler: "Don't do it."

Signal: "Signal." *finger guns with beams of light*

*collective groans*

Gordon: "Seven of you and that has to be the worst thing I ever heard."

My favorite Damian Wayne headcanon is that he gets so, so very carsick.

Like flying? He’s fine. Whether it’s by plane or Jon he loves it, does it all the time. Boat? He’s been a few times and finds it very relaxing. Train? He’s been in a train once and it lulled him to sleep. But a car? That’s Damian’s mortal enemy. He gets it bad, like window down, A/C pointed at him, bent over, eyes closed, and deep breathing bad. He doesn’t even dare look at his phone or try to read. He sits there completely still and doesn’t dare look anywhere besides in front of him.

Jason finds it absolutely hilarious and Damian discovered very quickly not to ride in a car where Jason is driving. On that, he also tries to avoid car rides where Dick is driving because Dick cannot drive smoothly for the life of him. The list of his favorite to least favorite drivers is as follows :

1. Alfred

2. Duke

3. Cassandra

4. Bruce

5. Tim

6. Stephanie

7. Dick

8. Jason

Happy Pride!

We all know Tim Drake is a cannon bisexual. But we also know that in fannon the only straight person is Alfred and I think Duke but I’m not sure. I just imagine the fist few years after coming out Tim is insufferable. Then Jason can’t take it anymore and ruins his joy.

Bruce: *catching Tim drinking enough coffee to fuel a med student for a semester in one night* that’s it. I’m cutting you off. I’m pretty sure your blood is caffeinated at this point.

Tim: during pride month!? And it was an iced coffee!? This is a hate crime.

Bruce: I-

Jason: Shut UP! JUST BECAUSE ITS JUNE DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE IMMUNE!

Duke: *just watching because not only does he take over February but Juneteenth is coming up and he has plans*

Tim: well I’m the only queer bitch here!

Jason: *crosses arms* says who?

Tim: what?

Bruce: what?

Jason: oh, you thought Roy and I were “just friends”? How closed minded of you. Dare I say, homophobic!

Tim: *gasp*

Dick: you’re dating my best friend!?

Bruce: I have a granddaughter!? *already buying her a pony*

Stephanie: you know me and Cass are dating right?

Tim: since when!?

Damian: *walks in on his phone texting Jon with his gay flag phone case he just got* you’re all so unobservant considering we’re all supposed to be detectives. Even Grayson has a boyfriend.

Tim: who!?

Bruce: *about to pass out at all his kids being in relationships and not telling him*

Dick: no I’m straight. *actively in Wally West’s lap*

Wally: ally!

Someone take my phone

The writers of Robin War did not get We Are Robin at all, on re-read it's quite obvious they didn't care for them at all. They treat We Are Robin (WAR) as if it's useless, they're importance is downplayed at every turn and they barely get any moment to shine.

(break because this is a long post)

Most of my issues start after the Robins meet up at the gym. Duke starts giving a speech while his friends stand off to the side. Up until this point Duke has never been treated as a leader and the We Are Robin team have only acted as equals.

Everyone decided independently to go out and fight crime, everyone is on the same page and that's why they work together. They're a group working together because they want to, they aren't a gang working under a gang leader.

Damian immediately shows up, tells them they aren't Robin, tells them to go home, insults them and beats up both Duke and everyone else. On top of dozens of people being arrested our first impressions of We Are Robin are them being portrayed as weak and incompetent, and I hate that this isn't a one time occurrence.

Grayson #15 literally starts with WAR saying they are Robin only to immediately be corrected by the "main four" Robins followed by Dick talking about how inexperienced they are. Not long after we get a two page spread of Damian berating them and beating them with ease.

What happens right after they get trained? They get captured and rendered useless before they could do anything. What happens when they're captured? You guessed it! They get insulted more. They don't even get to show off any training as they escape, they just reach between bars and throw Tim upwards, the next two encounters with the Talons barely show any of WAR fighting either.

I get that this was supposed to show the difference in skill but we haven't been shown WAR doing anything that doesn't show how weak they are, it's overkill and is just discrediting all of them. Plus it's missing the entire point, they aren't meant to fight super villains and they aren't meant to be super soldiers.

For the Third? Fourth? Time now Damian defeats all of them again. Can you tell how tired of this I am yet? Finally after all that we get to see We Are Robin fight!

...But it didn't feel satisfying at all, not to me at least. The fighting is relegated to the background, in the first panel it shows most of them hiding behind a wall while the Talons attack. Then the next one has us focusing on Duke and Damian's conversation and fight. This empowering moment is then turned into Duke, a member of the group getting beat up by Damian again.

The kid who we just met gets his time to shine, he's been afraid this entire time so he must get his moment to be brave here. Nope, he didn't defeat the Talon and is about to die, hopefully another member steps in, showing the teamwork and strengths of We Are Robin? No, Damian saves him and tells him he's not Robin.

Finally we reach the last moment of WAR fighting, there's nothing quite as bad as the others but most of the panel is taken up by conversation and we're left with one image. I'm sorry but one image doesn't make up for the countless times they've been mocked in this event.

That's it, that's everything, that's how We Are Robin was portrayed in Robin War and it was absolutely. fucking. horrendous.

I think it's pretty clear that they only saw We Are Robin as an army, a group of people lead to fight others. This should've been obvious to the writers but WAR isn't an army or a gang, it's a movement and a movement is very different. The Robins aren't pawns to send off into battle to fight super villains. They're kids trying to make a difference, they work together to protect others, they inspire others to join and together they can bring change. That's where their strength comes from.

Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian talk lots about what it means to be Robin and they talk a lot about how WAR aren't Robins. From the get go we're more likely to agree with them, they have all been Robin and we're likely way more attached to those characters. None of them really see anything wrong with their words and you never get to see an argument for WAR's opinions on what Robin is. This removes so much nuance, undermines the entire movement and makes everything they're doing seem meaningless.

Another thing that I think is important to mention is in We Are Robin #6 (the last one before Robin War) the team face off against a Talon. Duke gets shot and Riko steps in front of him, fiercely facing them down. After Riko is taken care beaten alongside Duke, Izzy pulls out a gun to defend them and herself. Dre and Dax saw this from blocks away and came running, saving the others and fighting alongside them. All of them run in head first and the versions of them in Robin War almost look like cowards in comparison.

Then we get this amazing internal dialogue and fight scene, I'll let it speak for itself.

In We Are Robin five of them are taking on one Talon and they didn't even defeat them, in Robin War they seem to be able to beat Talons almost singlehandedly. But they still felt so much more powerful in We Are Robin, fighting side by side with each other. It felt impactful and to me, that small victory was infinitely more important than any win seen in Robin War.

It saddens me because if the writers cared a little bit more it could've been good but they didn't and it really shows.
