"How do you feel?" Bruce asks, but Dick can barely hear him, his ears ringing in and out along with the throbbing pulsing over his body. "Dick?"

Dick's mouth, aches as he opens it to speak, drool filling up the space under his tongue. His throat feels--raspy. Dry, even with all the spit gathering, teeth almost throbbing in his gums.

"H-"ungry, he means to say, instead coughing as his tongue catches on the word. And he keeps coughing. And coughing, and coughing-

It takes tasting copper in the back of his throat to realize he's started growling, instead.

There's something lurking in the blood of Gotham. Whether he likes it or not, it slips into Dick's veins.

(It's only fair that a creature of the night can no longer touch the day.)

They’d come this far by setting aside this one irreconcilable point between them, not by actually resolving it. The fact that they’d had a longer than usual stretch since Joker’s last successful escape was the only thing that had made that possible. Eventually, something would have to break, but neither of them were ready to concede to the inevitability of the other’s position. Then the alert came through. Arkham breakout.

New chapter up!

I cannot explain the anger I feel anytime I read a panel where a character we are supposed to side with (except Bruce, because he's a self-loathing champion) says that Bruce should never be a father.

Batman, Bruce Wayne, was created in 1939, and he didn't even last two years before his creator gave him a child. In his long existence, Batman has only existed for LESS THAN TWO YEARS before he was made a father. Dick wasn't adopted because of the laws at the time against bachelor adopting, but Bruce was clear in the comics that this was his son. Old comics are a bit silly at time, and abuse was acceptable parenting in this time period (spanking and slapping, which Dick has been the subject of both), but it's clear that Bruce is meant to be a loving father. Dick is his pride and joy. If anything happens to him, Bruce is threatening everyone. He will kill everyone in the room than himself if his boy dies. He has huge paintings and pictures of the boy in and out of costume around his house because he loves him so much. When Dick is mad and threatens to leave, Bruce is like "I would prefer to lose both my arms and legs than lose you".

And it continued after that. When Dick leaves for college, Bruce is acting like it's a funeral. He's a dad realizing his baby is all grown up now and leaving home, and it's breaking his heart. He cried when child protective service took Dick from him, and when they took Jason. Both time, which are separated by decades, he was willing to throw away everything he had just to get his son back. Dick was the center of his universe, and with Jason, it was extended to his kids in general.

Batman, Bruce Wayne, being a dad is as important to his character as the murder of his parents. It's him learning to move on from this traumatic event, building a new family after losing his, giving children what he didn't have. It's linked to his parent's murder. If you are going to take that away, you can take away their murder too while you're at it.

This man would not survive without being a father, that's how he was written. It's a core characteristic of his character. Bob Kane is rolling in his grave from the audacity of those writers. "Batman shouldn't be a father" in your dreams, which are my nightmares.

yrs of fanfic writing and i've always been told my characterization is my strongest point and yet writing for comics makes me feel like i've been tied to an F1 car with a bungee rope and i'm being dragged across the floor

I genuinely love everytime Bart does this so much. Look at that silly lil smirk! He's such a shithead!🩷

Clark, “I-I thought it was supposed to be a quick mission around the galaxy! How long have I been gone?”

Bruce, “Forty-four years, two hundred and eight days, three hours, and seventeen minutes.”
