really cherish that dick's response to "Bruce has called me back to Gotham because it is a disaster zone and I have some complicated feelings about how quickly I come when called. we are crawling through a tunnel and we don't really know where it leads" is "annoy the shit out of Tim." he came late to being an older brother but he's a quick learner

Happy Father’s Day to Tim Drake

Orion's mourning of Lightray in the latest issue? It is just perfect. The facade of a stoic warrior to bearing it all out in a destructive way (revealing how he truly feels along with his true face) to how he then how he seems like a child in the last panel? Just perfect.

ALSO Orion specifically reflecting this childlike pose? That's the first time he gets that treatment from the narrative/his depiction in contrast to someone like Lightray who's been described as "child" by Highfather. For once Orion is childlike instead of a "champion" or "Warbringer." (I told you guys I would be keeping an eye on this.)

He's a child too like Lightray was. (He was also a child "forged in the heat of conflict" just like Kamal.)

Gonna start a collection of comic panels labeled: Bruce Wayne Looking Pathetic™

Starring:

And, as a bonus:

Tim being pathetic with his other other Dad (If anyone knows the comic this last panel is from it'd be appreciated because Tim being / looking pathetic is all I need to live.)

I need to put together a proper PSA for professional Batman comic writers at some point to explain that "ward" is a very out-of-date and obsolete legal term in the US that hasn't existed since realistically the early 1980s and at latest 1997.

If you're a child actively interacting with the foster care+adoption system you're either an adoptive child, foster child, or ward of the state/court. If you're not a ward of the court (in which case the state is your legal guardian and you're probably being represented by a guardian ad litem or designated social worker), the adult who has legal custody of you and legal/financial responsibility for you is either your adoptive parent, your foster parent, or your temporary legal guardian. You can't really be a 'ward' of an individual anymore; that hasn't been a thing since again, the 80s/90s-era foster care system reforms.

this is all to day: Batman writers stop calling Dick and Jason Bruce's wards challenge. Even if you want to continue the mental gymnastics to ignore their adoptions, he is at minimum their permanent foster father and legal guardian. That's how the system works. Do your research for once in your lives, I am begging
