I feel like tim is more moriarty coded than sherlock!!

So it's a pretty much accepted that being a member of the batfamily member means becoming a pretty decent detective but rather than simply having Batman be the worlds greatest detective and the rest of the family having the honour of being "almost as good as Batman" I would love to see stories that highlight how different members of the batfamily develop a unique style of detectiving.

Bruce is a Sherlock Holmes style detective. He relies on the physical evidence. He breaks down a crime scene, picks up the details others have missed, and then uses science and forensics to find the answer.

Dick is a Hercule Poirot/Benoit Blanc style detective. He relies more on reading people and understanding human nature. He can style use physical evidence but he is more interested in working out the people involved and making sense of their actions.

Jason is a Dick Tracy/Noir style detective. He understands the criminal underworld intimately and knows where to apply pressure to get the information he needs.

Barbara (especially as Oracle) is an information broker and cyber savant. She gets into systems noone else can and connects dots in ways noone else can see.

Tim is another Sherlock Holmes style detective, albeit one still honing his craft and someday will take over the mantle of the worlds greatest detective.

Damian is a combination of both Bruce and Dicks styles whilst still developing his own style.

after Jason reveals his identity as the Red Hood i like to think about the kids begging for Jason to hang out with them and rejoin the family and that but Jason’s being a little bitch about it so when Dick asks for his phone number he just throws an ouija board at him and says ‘i’ll sense it’

issue is that while slightly drunk and sad that his brother hates him, Dick decided to try it out, and Damian watching him through a crack in the door thought it would be funny to text Jason (because he actually does have his league bro’s number) about it so that Jason could maybe mention it the next time they see each other on patrol to freak Dick out, except Jason was working not too far from the manor at the time and he thought it would be even funnier to swing by, slam up against the window and scream through the glass ‘STOP FUCKING DRUNK TEXTING ME’ and absolutely scares the shit out of Dick. so now Dick thinks that ouija boards actually work on Jason because he’s still part ghost and Jason and Damian are scrambling to try and keep up the ruse because of how funny it is.

The thing with this it's that in the canon the joker it's also kind of a social movement(????

So like, not really EVERYONE in Gotham would approve of that ig

actually. considering ‘brucie wayne’ is a popular well loved gotham-born-and-bread socialite that is adored by gotham’s public on social media. shouldn’t he like… be all for the joker’s death???

like i think we all agree at this point that everybody is fucking fine with the joker getting murdered. batman is literally the only one in the city that won’t do it. so if ‘brucie’ is really so beloved then his public views must be lovable too. can you fucking imagine bruce wayne at a party getting caught on camera with a bunch of people talking about how ‘oh my god can we just PLEASE kill the joker, amiright or am i RIGHT!?’ and everybody is laughing and nodding in agreement and bruce wayne is so devoted to his brucie act that he literally feels like he has no choice but to nod and loudly agree ‘HONESTLY, like get that man in a GRAVE!’

he comes downstairs the next morning slightly hungover to the clip trending on twitter and his kids all just fucking glaring at him across the breakfast table looking so betrayed like

bruce:

bruce: ok listen-

dick: if i were you i wouldn’t speak

bruce: …?

dick: *nods his head over to jason*

jason: *glaring directly at bruce, shaking with rage, eyes green, gun in hand* i fucking dare you to talk. give me a reason. give me a SINGLE FUCKING REASON

bruce:

Inside out if it were happening on my head:

teen titans go really just loves shitting on dick LMAOO (the animators have a favorite and it is jason, even if they put a crowbar next to his urn)

[imnotabatfamblog]

I mean I find kind of funny the "oh Tim's addicted to coffee" but... He's not...? Also the "oh he's so clumsy" "oh he never sleeps" like for me it's funny but... He's not... My boy's not like that...

Tim: Jason has these insanely strong views about everything. Go on, ask him something that no one should have views on.

Dick: Hey Jason, what's the worst multiple of four?

Jason: Twelve, obviously.

Sometime in Gotham:

Jason Todd [on the phone]: How did the Joker die?

Damian Wayne [on the phone]: Cats ate his face.

Jason Todd: Damian, I think you’re confused. I’m asking about the Joker.

Damian Wayne: Cats ate his face.

Jason Todd: Look, would you just put Dick or Tim on the phone?

Dick Grayson: Hello?

Jason Todd: Dick, what happened to the Joker?

Dick Grayson: Cats ate his face. Here, Damian knows more about it than I do.

OMFG now imagine the phone dying

Jason: *kneeled on a corner, crying*

Bruce: I SWEAR, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT FOR GOD'S SAKE

Jason: *crying*

Alfred gets sick of Bruce breaking and losing stuff on patrol so he gets a label maker and starts naming items after the kids

Alfred: I got you a new phone, just like you asked. Its name is Jason. Try not to let it die.

Bruce, tearing up: Why would you say that—

Picture this, Jason on the whole red hood gear holding two ice cream cones while fighting with his partner in civies about something like laundry

Close your eyes and Point

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/VPCj3ac by Casiliopo Jason savours the way the crisp air tousles his hair and gently kisses his cheek, his eyelashes fluttering closed as he basks in the warm sunlight on his skin. He inhales deeply, his attention fixed entirely on this present moment, leaving behind the home he’d departed. He’s determined not to glance back, unwilling to confront the shadows he left behind. In this serene experience, he finds a sense of fulfilment. It makes everything he’s endured, everything he’s ever done, seem worthwhile. And indeed, it is. For now, at least, he has no desire to return. _ Or, after deep contemplation and a particularly bad argument, Jason Todd finally gives up, going MIA. With wads of cash stuffed hastily into a duffle bag—money *he'd earned*—the clothes on his back, and a sense of betrayal, Jason leaves behind his family, everything he'd ever known, and begins his journey of rediscovery, re-evaluating his entire life.

Prompt:

After Red Hood stopped killing and someone leaked footage hinting that he's the second Robin, he expected to fight for every morsel of territory, for everybody to desert him and the murder attempts to triple.

And, well. It's not like he doesn't find himself in a rigged warehouse on Monday, walking off that one explosion with singes on his back. It's not like on Wednesday, a bullet pierces through a hole in his armour and he's losing half his blood in an alley. And sure, someone takes advantage of him throwing his helmet away on Friday (he was out of grenades and needed a bigger bomb) to fear gass him, but it's fine, he can function normally under fear gass nowadays.

Except. Except nobody deserts him. By Monday, the attempts have completely stopped. He walks into a meeting with his men and sees his goons' hands won't stop shaking, and even his lieutenant won't look him in the eyes.

Jason is confused, and so are the other bats, but soon the rumours reach their ears: you can't go after the Red Hood, because no matter what you do, once you've targeted him it's over, like a dog with a bone, he'll get you eventually- no matter how you shoot or how many explosives you use. It doesn't matter that the Red Hood doesn't kill, because the Red Hood doesn't die.
