Batman #454

I can't tell if this is a color error or the rendering of the light from the fire, but Batman's got no pants on.

on the topic of nocturna/natalia knight and jason todd, because i'm writing the second half of my fic about them,

why does no one ever talk about the fact that jason's post-crisis backstory is literally a reference to natalia knight's backstory? like oh my god. that's his mama

12 year old orphan kid living on the streets? "living one step ahead of the police and child welfare authorities"? adopted by a rich man with no actual adoption papers? the long black hair and red clothes? she's lowkey goth and he's highkey punk? THEY BOTH DIED IN THE END OF THEIR RUN?

i firmly believe if you read pre-crisis stuff, there's soooo much that relates to jason in post-crisis and now. just having his first mother figure (idgaf ab trina todd) die like that led to jason having a lifetime of mommy issues. another thing, i hate it when people talk about jason and natalia like she was just another one of his mother figures, she was the FIRST! THE BLUEPRINT, EVEN!!!

now, could this probably be boiled down to starlin hating robin and wanting him to be violent -> automatically making him a poor street kid? yes absolutely. but let me have my thoughts about them... i miss them so much my fav mother son duo

the fact is jason was not suffering from pit madness. he was suffering from something far worse... being 19

I just spent 3 hours talking to my friend about all of the insane-o stuff that happens in all our favorite comics from back in the day, and it occurred to me that there are so many comics that I still want to read, but I just got out of the habit of-- ya know... reading them.

So, be on the lookout for some queued posts coming your way from Young Justice 1998 !

(And also, feel free to message me with any suggestions or recommendations. I'm down for anything DC, preferably from before 2011)

A series of my favorite zoomed out comic book characters

Dick Grayson or Sticky Man Wall Climber?? It's the same picture

My little cook frying someone in the back of the head

Little baby Spiderman... somehow fitting into a cradle

Batman learning about gravity

I can't tell if he is farting out a jet, or if he is just floating in the air

I don't think this one needs a caption

Every year I trick more and more people into learning about Tentatodd against their will. Go read Brothers in Blood. I promise you, you will regret it.

Happy one year anniversary of me reading Brothers in Blood and ruining lives with the horrible burden of Knowing.

BIG WIN FOR THE DC COMMUNITY TODAY.

i feel like ppl are always on one extreme abt dick & jason's relationship....... like idk how to tell you but they don't entirely hate or love each other. thats not how they work. they barely know each other and yet can't shake the feeling of kinship they feel. was it the robin suit? bruce? guilt? what-ifs? wishful thinking for things to be different? where did they get cut for the trail of blood to mix up and end up in the same grave? the same dead dream of a brotherhood? was it because of those things or despite them that the stream of their lives cannot seem to diverge no matter what happens? just shut up and let them be complicated.

in June, my partner went to a doll expo and he saw this very good Nightwing and sent me a picture. It makes me laugh everytime I look at it, and I hope it makes you laugh too.

Brothers in Blood will trick you into thinking it’s just a silly crack scenario brought to life and Jason just concocted this plan for shits and giggles. Then you get a single page like this:

Nightwing (1996-) #121

that reveals he wanted/desperately needed shreds of acceptance even if it was coated in layers of resentment irritation and doubt after going through this:

Batman (1940-) #650

And it had to be from someone who isn’t Bruce

Nightwing #118

"Cat got your tongue, wise guy? Or you got somethin' stuck in your throat?"

I know that Brothers in Blood is trying to portray Jason as a psychotic serial killer, but... I think I'm kind of into that. Yes, it's violent and bloody and cruel, but Jason is totally in control. He is powerful in this moment because he does not question if the ends justify the means. His end is protecting the kids that no one else is looking out for. His end is saving every child that the Bats can't or won't. His end is making sure that no one goes through what he went through.

No more dead Robins– any means necessary.
