I literally have no one else to scream at about anything Batman related at the moment while I start my Batman Animated Series re-watch from my childhood. So I hope no one minds me gushing about something I just got in the mail that might end up being the best thing i'll ever own ever. I love this design of the Batmobile soooooo much, it's so cool.

gods of gotham- hermes

In the stories and myths, Hermes is ubiquitous, appearing at just the right times to cleverly trick a foe or impart a gift. He is ever-youthful, ever-cunning, and ever-giving. He is the messenger of the gods, the original jack of all trades. Travelers made offerings for his protection, diplomats prayed for his guidance, and merchants made sacrifices to gain his favor. But Hermes did not solely act with boyish mirth; he was a warrior god like his brethren, and his cunning and rage saw ichor and blood spilled all the same.

The friezes depict a young god, oft guiding flocks and travelers alike with his staff. His name was invoked at lodges and markets, messengers bore his sigil on their journeys, and shepherds carried his sacred tool. Silver-tongued and strategic, he was the emissary of the gods, sent to share divine guidance with the worthy. The gods and the people loved him, for he was useful. The helpful and clever- let them see him as such, let the darker aspects of his character be lost to time.

Hermes was not only a shepherd. His staff was not only for guidance. When the drums of war sounded, and the banners were raised, Hermes was there. Laying traps for enemies, leading assassins under the cover of darkness, and crafting deadly lies. He was the delivery service for divine justice, and it was oft… personal. He leveled cities and civilizations on whims, his violence was that of the gods of war, and he was efficient. The artists remember him as a genial youth, happily serving his betters; the paintings would never show him wading through the field of battle, nor would they show him executing the godly vengeance entrusted solely to him.

In Gotham, Red Robin served as a young vigilante. Small in stature and seemingly eternally youthful, he guided those seeking sanctuary to shelters and halfway houses. He was not seen as overly violent like his fellows, silver-tongued and strategic; he lingered in the shadows and plotted. The heroes and people loved him, for he was useful. The helpful and clever- let them see him as such, let the darker aspects of his character be lost from the narrative.

Red Robin was not only a guide. His bo-staff was not merely decorative. When screams sounded, and the bat-signal was lit, Red Robin was there. Laying traps for enemies, leading his team under the cover of darkness, and crafting deadly explosions. He was the delivery service for violent justice, and it was oft… personal. He dismantled corrupt governments and criminal enterprises in a single sleepless night, his violence was surgically precise, and he was efficient. The people remember him as another sidekick in the shadow of the Bat; they would never imagine his penchant for destruction, nor would they think of him executing the heroic vengeance entrusted solely to him.

Welcome back, Hermes- your people have missed you.

In Greece and Gotham, when screams echoed through the air and warriors and wounded alike prayed for salvation, justice arrived on swift wings. After the damage was done and the ashes settled, they would remember only the youthful helper. And he liked it that way.

Commissioner Gordon: *turns on the bat signal*

Tim, looking up from where he’s hacking: The phone… the phone is ringing-

Jason, rolling out from under the batmobile : The phone..! We’ll be right there…!

Dick, flipping off of the uneven bars he was using: There’s an animal in trouble-

Duke, looking up from where he’s doing homework: There’s an animal in trouble!

Damian, begrudgingly but secretly enjoying it: …There’s an animal in trouble somewhere…
