So currently been obsessively reading Batman fics on AO3. I have never read a comic but grew up watching Batman TAS and Justice League. Anyway I'm slowly collecting the Batfam in Lego minifigs.

Found these two gems. I had to make the blue variant as they didn't have the original face. I added the colored escrima sticks to each one. I'm pretty pleased on how they turned out.

I found this Robin variant today. Pretty sure it's the Tim Drake one. I made him a bo staff. If I can find the pieces in black I will definitely change the color up.

Also found a little Robin! ❤️ The angry face is definitely a Damian look. Again I don't know which Robin it's actually supposed to be so I'm making this one Damian.

I special ordered both of these Red Hood variants off Etsy. Lego doesn't technically make a Jason Todd minifig sadly. I couldn't decide which one to order so I got both. One came with a motorcycle. 🏍

Now if only I could find a Spoiler, Blackbat and Signal. 🤔

Cassie: Why did you get here so late?

Bart: Well...

Kon: We were in the elevator for fifteen minutes panicking thinking we were stuck.

Tim: Only to find out nobody pressed the button.

Me: and my human thinking brain: I really hope the Webtoons comic does Jason justice. They really do have a chance in a medium not fully under DC's grip to really provide us a great study into Jason's character as well as finding a way to satisfy the fans while also providing a satisfying narrative for Jason. But I just hope they don't screw it up.

Webtoons but particularly Nico Bascuñan:

Me, my very primal monkey and lizard brains banging every pot and pan and setting everything on fire in my brain: this.

Why is it so satisfying to play with the post button?

How comics treat Jason killing is so frustrating to me because it's always all or nothing. Either Jason just runs around killing anyone who you could label a criminal or Jason has to learn the error of his ways and give up killing.

But the Jason I like best in terms of killing is by far Lost Days Jason.

In Lost Days, Talia fears that Jason may have come back from the pit wrong. He wants to kill Bruce, and he wants to do it cruelly. She decides to see if more time will help, and sends him around the world training. And when he kills, because he discovered his teacher was a child trafficker? Talia is relieved.

In Lost Days, Jason's first murder is presented as a sign he still has empathy. His first act of killing is done to protect children. Jason's desire to kill may have started as revenge for his death but his choice to kill is because he saw children being victimized.

Jason goes on to kill other teachers and the pattern is clear. Harm to children, tainted drugs - these are what Jason kills for. Not some concept of "criminals bad". For concrete and specific crimes against vulnerable people.

Notably, we do see a teacher Jason doesn't kill!

I think this is interesting for two reasons: Jason acknowledged that this teacher isn't a good person - a merc! And yet! He isn't going to kill him. This guy is just a driver.

Lost Days shows that Jason doesn't kill indiscriminately. He doesn't kill someone just for being a dirt bag, for engaging in crime in general. Jason has a clear and easily discerned internal code of ethics for killing. He can stop himself without trouble. He doesn't kill on impulse. His kills are internally consistent and largely sympathetic choices to an outside observer. I think that's important.

I think Lost Days connecting Jason's choice to kill to Jason still having empathy, to Jason, above all, always caring about victims and children - I think that's what killing always should be for Jason.

I loved this😂

Damian and Tim teaming up to absolutely demolish Jason in video games is just the kind of brotherly bonding I’d like more of from them.

[rockel05]

Tim: I think Alfred’s mad at you.

Jason: What makes you say that?

Tim: Because he’s cleaning up the mess you made and asked me to deliver this to you.

Jason, reading the note: “Young Master Jason, I hope this note finds you before I do.”

[rockel05]

Tim: *violently opens the curtains*

Tim: Wake up or we’ll be late for the parade!

Conner: mY EYES!!

Tim: It’s called sunlight and it’s not that bright.

Conner: IT’S NOT THE SUN IT’S YOUR OUTFIT.

Tim, completely draped in pride themed sequin clothings: oh.
