Omg Aunt Harriet! 💗💗💗

Aunt Harriet Cooper was portrayed by Madge Blake in the 66 series, a kind and caring aunt to Dick Grayson, who was kept in the dark about Bruce and Dick's alternate identities, which lead to some rather funny scenes. She was an incredibly sweet lady, who cared about the wellbeing of those around her, and did her part in several organisations to make Gotham City a nicer place to live. Whilst she sometimes got into trouble with villains set on capturing her, she was also able to take a stand and protect herself, best seen in The Devil's Fingers/The Dead Ringers.

Gracious me! You could include Aunt Harriet in one of your prompt entries for #batman66week!

Wink wink! 😉

Robin hid

Chickadee wanted to shoot Aunt Harriet

And almost did

Sorry, but I do actually think it’s possible to be a Batman fan without reading any comics. The comics are super fun! I encourage people to give them a try. Never underestimate the power of a universe you care about to get you to read a media you normally don’t enjoy. But there are:

Three seasons of Batman: The Animated Series

Three seasons and one movie of Batman Beyond

Three seasons and one movie of Batman (1966)

58 DC Animated Original Movies, many of which include Batman or Batman characters

Over a dozen live-action Batman-related movies, including the very popular Christopher Nolan trilogy and The Batman (2022)

Many novelizations of comic arcs, including No Man’s Land and Court of Owls

Batman video games, including Arkham Knight (and related Arkham video games) and Gotham Knights

Look, I get that the comics are the source material, the original, but…

Are you really going to say someone who has watched BtAS ten times and has an encyclopedic knowledge of it is “not a Batman fan”?

What about someone who is obsessed with Batman (1966) and knows all the details about it and has cosplayed as Eartha Kitt’s Catwoman?

Or someone who repeatedly plays through Arkham videogames and rambles on Tumblr about them?

Or a fanfiction writer for The Batman (2022) who has watched the movie more times than they can count and written 200k words of fanfic for it?

Or someone who has religiously watched every single DCAOM, most several times?

Or someone who is completely obsessed with that one Batman radio play and makes fanart for it?

Face it. Batman is a multimedia phenomenon. If you can be a fan without watching the movies, you can be a fan without reading the comics. I understand that it’s frustrating when someone who has no grounding in any canon starts talking about something being “out of character,” but…I find it ridiculous for people to claim that you can’t be a Batman fan if you haven’t read Batman comics. Because you can be. Unless in those scenarios I described above everyone is just a fan of Ratman instead.

“Couldn’t you just get sick?” -Fred

Context: Shame and Calamity Jan complimented each other just as Shame prepares to fight Batman. Fred finds it sickening. (I had to resist the urge to type “Okie Annie.”)

Alan Napier played a very loyal Alfred Pennyworth in the series, who faithfully carried out his duties to both Bruce and Dick and Batman and Robin, expertly managing to keep their secret identities safe. In addition to his, he also knew Batgirl's identity, and kept it as yet another secret as per her request.

Alfred often saved the day for the caped crusaders - why not create for this during #batman66week?

[darlingditzy1966]

No thoughts…just Chickadee and Pussycat! ❤️🩷

Burt Ward's Dick Grayson was energetic and keen to be mentored, following in Bruce's footsteps by trying to take the best moral option where possible. He was a student leader at school and believed in working hard to achieve great things (maybe not so much where algebra was concerned, though...)

Holy suggestion! You could look more into Dick Grayson's character for #batman66week!

[darlingditzy1966]

This is so accurate lmao

how it feels to be in your 20s with the same interests you had when you were 10
