Dick was the last to be adopted, Jason became the black sheep post-resurrection, Tim made himself Robin, Damian was dropped in Gotham after ten years of being kept secret, Cass possesses killer instincts that run counter to Batman's philosophy, Duke is a meta whose parents are still alive (albeit jokerized), and Steph has zero legal connections to the Waynes. All of the batkids have reason to believe they're the only one Bruce doesn't want around and Bruce is unaware of the problem because they don't vocalize it not just out of the usual emotional constipation, but also a deep-seated fear of being proven right. In this essay, I will—

I feel like Stephanie deserves more meaningful relationships with the other bats besides Cass and Tim-

I’m happy with her relationship with Damian and Jason-

but wouldn’t it be DIVINE for her to have an even more meaningful with idk… the first Robin?

Like I’ve been thinking of their personalities for a while… and I’ve even looked around for people’s comments on their potential/canon relationship and haven’t seen anyone talk about this but I feel like this should be considered.

Steph and Dick have potential for such a foil relationship.

I know they are similar in a lot of aspects which I’m aware is probably the reason why fandom portrays them as best friends.

But the thing is, they have two VERY conflicting personality traits which would give them some conflict to work with that would kinda make their relationship more meaningful-

Steph absolutely hates it when people help her when she believes she can do it herself or in other words ‘fight her battles’.

Dick has an absolute need to help everyone, especially those he cares about- and he clearly cares about Steph, at least as a good friend.

You can already see the conflict! Like imagine when they’re on a mission together and Steph is about to get hit by another goon or something and then Dick knocks out the offending goon to Steph’s great annoyance.

That would be a fun rock to put in their relationship to help them walk around wouldn’t it? Like, Dick learning to accept her strength or/and Steph learning to accept help.

Although- that could turn into a sibling relationship… that would still be great wouldn’t it?

Dc. Work on it.

Stephanie and my boys!??? Fantastic art

Robins portrait!

His mind is usually constant internal screaming ARM but all the voices get significantly louder every time one of his kids flings themselves off the building, even though he does the same damn thing and they learned it from him

really liking batman and robin: year one so far

also i like how bruce pretends everything dick does as robin is perfectly normal but no way he didn't panic the first time this happened

no way he didn't panic the 3045th time this happened either, just learned to hide it better

Is Bruce Wayne a good person?

must a man be good? is it not enough to be a bitchy goth who traumatised two generations worth of orphans with ur incomparable autistic swag

[howdoidecidethjs]

no you're right that's just what he's like

I watched wolverine and the X-men and this was the impression I got every time with these guys

[howdoidecidethjs]

crying forced family is so true, they cannot stand each other most of the time but who is always going to be there on your birthday with a thoughtful gift and an insult before disappearing until you're in a life or death situation or your next b'day, that's right, one of these guys

found family? no, forced family
