Kid Flash: We accidentally travelled back in time like ten years or so
Dick: what else is new
Kid flash: .. Tim ran into his younger self
Dick:
Tim *walking past them and muttering under his breath*
Tim *mimicking*: Look at me! I’m so young and dumb! Such an annoying kid my god no wonder our parents were always trying to get away
Dick:
Tim *mimicking*: I’m so happy I’m smiling!
Kid flash: He-
Tim: Just suffer like the rest of us you coward
Tim *mimicking*: That’s not fair!
Tim: oh! Look at that! LIFE’S not fair dumbass
Dick:
Tim: Waah I’ve been hurt! I want love! Please don’t leave me!
Tim: Fool. Shut up and carry on with that pain in silence like the rest of us. Pathetic I was never like that . People are overrated and crying is underrated.
Tim *mimicking*: Oh! Batman’s awesome! And so is Robin!
Tim: Batman’s a goddamn idiot. Robin.. well okay true for the first one. But the second? The second one is a BITC-
I like to think he’s super pretty, just like Dick but he cannot see it because of his scars and warped self image. Also he’s literally Bruce’s twin when he was younger but that’s superrrr touchy because well….it’s Bruce. Don’t tell Todd the comparison.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST I WILL NEVER DROP THE HEADCANON THAT JASON WEARS HEARING AIDS. THAT MFR RIGHT THERE CANNOT HEAR!! He’s supposed to just be hard of hearing but without Wayne tech he’s completely deaf. This is all due to his dumb ass playing with weapons he wasn’t supposed to as a child.
He’s perfectly okay with it because per the photo,,,he frequently uses it as an excuse to ignore Bruce. Do you think he refuses to learn sign language so he cannot communicate with him when he’s not using his aids??
A/N: Hi cuties! After posting some dc comics related imagines over the last couple of years I've decided to finally post a list of my own headcanons for batboys! Just a disclaimer - these are based on multiple dc related media (comics, shows, fan-made content) as well as just my imagination. I do not mean any harm with these! Also if you agree/disagree with these let me know in the comments/asks/rbs because I'm super intrested in what you guys think and your own fanons! Stay whelmed xx

masterlist
Dick Grayson (25-29ish yo)
Wears contacts all the time when he’s out. His sight used to be perfect up until puberty. Only wears prescription glasses when he knows he’ll spend the entire day wearing sunglasses – has prescription on them (he does have an emergency pair of regular glasses though).
Has a deep set of dimples. More visible when he’s a dehydrated raisin of a human being. He has a special bottle for just water to force himself to drink more.
Is left handed. His siblings bother him for that matter when he accidentally elbows somebody while eating.
Is “silently” addicted to energy drinks. Has tried to switch to other beverages but ultimately always goes back to energy drinks.
Sings in the shower, has a genuinely good singing voice. Pretends to be shy when people suggest doing karaoke.
Has chronic wrist pain due to a bad fracture.
Is a minimalist. Hates clutter and frequently gets rid of things like clothes, unnecessary gadgets, kitchen utensils etc.
Loves rock climbing and bouldering.
Has pockmarks on his cheeks. Had tried different products to make them fade away, but gave up and accepted his fate.
Uses a lot of post-it notes around his apartment.
Jason Todd (22-24ish yo)
Jason is the only one with brown eyes. You cannot convince me otherwise. Don’t try to.
He’s the best cook out of all the guys. Finds it very therapeutic. Genuinely enjoys making meals especially if others can stop by for dinner or pick up his food. (always makes me think of those pics of him and Dick in the kitchen in Gotham Knights!)
Has type 1 diabetes, uses a pump.
Has a private library stamp for his book collection because any time someone visits him, somebody borrows (steals) books from him.
Plays the violin, self-taught as an adult. It’s his “safe” hobby that convinces his neighbours that he’s just a regular guy.
Has a full arm tattoo sleeve, it’s his way of dealing with body dysmorphia and body image issues. His tattoos include book references, fav movie characters and different symbols for all of the siblings (not their super hero stuff though, for safety reasons).
Has reading glasses. (As mentioned here!)
Hates arugula, loves Italian cuisine. He is not afraid of carbs (his glucose monitor states otherwise) and makes noodles often.
Has wavy hair but doesn’t use proper products for his texture.
Has veryyy straight teeth naturally. Others are jealous.
Tim Drake (20-21ish yo)
Journals. Even when he’s severely sleep deprived. It’s his way of dealing with heavy stuff, but also his archive in case he goes missing.
Has a nintendo switch. Doesn’t really use it but he knows that Damian steals it that’s why he keeps it instead of selling it.
Has a proper skin care routine. It includes dying his hair dark every 4 weeks cause he has gray hairs due to stress.
Uses ktape regularly. Struggles with chronic back pain and uses a foam roller.
Is vegan. Doesn’t try to convince other peeps to switch to veganism knowing that they are barely capable of making food for themselves. Will make an exception and eat meat if it’s a meal prepared by somebody close to him.
Is a huge music fan, listens to music often. Mostly metal, but also pop, rap. Doesn’t really discriminate music genres.
Loves playing board games. Is the type to bring board games to social meetings of sorts in case people want to play.
Has a very pleasant, contagious laugh. Rarely laughs out loud, but those who know his laugh try hard to make him laugh for that matter.
Has really sparse facial hair. Would like to grow out a stache or beard but cannot.
Blushes very easily. Doesn’t like it. Despises cold temperatures for that matter.
Jason Todd woke up in the morning to intense knocking at his front door. He was too tired to change into any clothes, choosing to walk to the door in the little he was wearing.
He opened the door, exhausted. Rose stood there wearing jeans and T-shirt and holding a bag of breakfast burritos.
Rose (eager): Good morning!
Jason (yawning): Not really.
Rose (flirtatiously): You are rocking the Calvin Kleins.
Jason looks at his boxers and shrugs.
Jason: Thanks.
Rose: Man I feel overdressed.
Jason: You look nice though.
Rose sighs, fanning herself even though it was the fall.
Jason (looking at the bag in her hand): You brought me breakfast?
Rose: Yeah, but we can eat in 20 minutes.
Rose entered Jason's apartment, closing the door without Jason getting a word in.
Twenty minutes later, Rose walked out Jason's bedroom wearing one of his sweatshirt and her underwear underneath.
Rose: What a way to start a morning.
Jason walked out shocked and satisfied.
Jason: Yup, I'm awake.
Rose laughed softly, tossing Jason one of the breakfast burritos.
Rose: I was literally only coming over to eat breakfast, but then you opened the door in boxer briefs, six pack and tired.
Jason: Whatever reason you were coming over is fine, I needed that wake up.
Jason takes a bite out of his burrito as Rose kisses him on the cheek.
Rose: I'm keeping this sweatshirt.
Jason: Oh come on, that was a gift.
Rose (playful): Aww thanks for the gift.
Jason: You're lucky you're cute and really good at what you did in there.
Rose (smirking): I had some help.
The two kiss and then head to the couch to enjoy morning burritos on a day off.
-I was thinking that the body language reading ability of Cass could apply to more than just humans... So Damian has to face the harsh reality when they visit the zoo each time...
And Yes, The family photographer took those for blackmail..
Tim for literally no reason: Hey Jason do yk where I can get some cocaine
Jason: Why tf do you need cocaine
Tim: I'm a teenage CEO why tf do you think I need cocaine
Jason: Fair enough. But I'm still not selling you cocaine
Tim: Why not? I just want to hang out with the other young finance bros
Jason: Hey dick head, tell your brother I'm not giving him cocaine
Dick: Tim are you okay? do you want to talk about this??
Tim: Uhg I'm fine. You're the one ones who said I should stop drinking coffee
Jason: and you thought this was a good alternative???
Tim: Come on I'll only do a little
Dick: Is this coz we spoiled the ending of wolf of Wallstreet
Tim: Why can't I just have some? You do!
Jason: No I don't
Tim: You're a crime lord
Dick: Yeah isn't it like part of the job
Jason: WHAT NO Stereotype much. I've never even seen cocaine up close
Tim: YOU'RE A CRIME LORD
Jason: Yeah not a drug dealer THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
Tim: I should have known your not cool enough to have drug dealer connections
Jason: OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA BUY A FUCK TON OF COCAINE AND DO IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU JUST TO RUB IT IN
Dick: Woah woah that's enough both of you. No one in this house is doing drugs. If anyone talks about cocaine again I'll tell Bruce you said you want to start a new crack epidemic. He'll make you sit in at strangers AA meetings and read through old case files of ex dealers and their autopsies. Don't. TEST. me.
Headcanon that the batfam has a Samsung smart refrigerator or whatever it's called, and it is used entirely for doing work while in the kitchen. There has been justice league meetings held on that motherfucker and nuclear threats disengaged.
Dick spent so much time climbing, hanging off things, or solving problems upside down that it became a joke with the Titans that Robins think better like that. Fast forward a couple of years and Jason threatens to shoot the next person who flips him upside down when he's scheming (Artemis gets Bizarro to do it). Tim nearly kicks Kon in the face for flipping him over. Kara does it when Stephanie's being annoying, but mercifully by the time Damian's there, no one does it to him. Still, occasionally one of the Bats will be upside down because they got caught like that or fell through a vent and have a Eureka moment and everyone will feel vindicated and it starts up all over again.
Every once and a while, the Batkids will try and pretend to be Bruce over the radio whilst on patrol.
Tim (as low and gravelly as he can go): "Oracle! Analysis!"
Barbara (nonplussed): "Red Robin, I can see which channels are lit up when you speak, I know that's you."
Tim: "I AM THE NIIIIIIIGHT...!"
Batman is not pleased. The kids only do this more.
why do i imagine the batfam finally meeting the league and then one of them going 'how the fuck do you have so many kids?' and little shit Jason goes 'well, when two people love each other very much...' and because Bruce doesn't wanna listen to this, he tiredly reminds Jason: 'you're adopted' which naturally means that Jason is going to dramatically pretend that this is the first time he's heard that and how could Bruce keep this from him, much to the horror of the league and the exasperation of Bruce
Love the slight AUs where Bruce as Batman has been a member of the league for ages, but he's somehow managed to keep his assortment of children under the radar.
Because it sets up the wildest misunderstandings within the league. He routinely talks about his babies, his children who are all so sweet and kind and occasionally assholes yes but only because they are young (and traumatized) hell I don't think the league would even be aware that they're adopted. So they're all thinking literal children
Barry: Bats really loves his kids.
Hal: I mean they're babies, wait till they hit the angsty teens and I'm sure we'll be hearing the opposite
Which means the day they finally meet Nightwing they don't know wtf to think. For one thing, how old would he have been when he had this kid???? Should they be worried about that???? And for the other, that is not a baby, that is not a precious little thing.
He could break someone in half. Like a twig.
He won't, but he could. And they can see that. (He's bat trained, they have seen what the bat can do they are not fools)
And they're like, okay. Okay maybe he isn't the baby (he is). He's got younger kids right? He's never said how many, they have 0 clues. They've been expecting 1 child, maybe 2 because he'd said kid in the plural exactly once when comforting an older woman while they were searching for her children in the aftermath of a rough battle.
And then a week later they run into Red Hood. In his leather, with his guns. And he drapes himself across Batmans back with all the self confidence in the world and starts whining about the "Brat" breaking into his safe house.
To steal his dog.
And yet again. He is not baby. He is bigger than Batman. He could probably break Batman in half given the bat didn't put up a fight. But Batman looks at him with probably the softest expression they've ever seen on that mans face and tells him very earnestly that the kid just wants to spend time with his older brother, next time they should try a walk. Maybe go to the zoo.
But probably not one of the babies. They're kind, and gentle, and at least one just loves reading and Bats has been trying to encourage that!!!
And then a day later he mentions his "babies" going for a walk in the park and they all instantaneously lose their minds at the confirmation.
like I always felt like yan! Dick is like completely scared or rather doesn't know to be authentic. It's no lie that he takes the place of dad for practically every kid over Bruce since Jason came along. He feels the pressure of being this super smiley guy all of the time. It's exhausting. He cannot have a bad day.
Most of his temperament comes from the stress of taking on the family. He's constantly expected to neglect his personal relationships, careers and hobbies all for the sake of his siblings. He doesn't mind because he loves them to the bone but he has so much resentment about his entire life and unresolved traumas that it's just sitting there.…
No one else sees this. Or maybe they do but they choose to ignore it. But you immediately noticed there was something disingenuous about him...it really irked him. He tried so hard to keep things like that hidden and he hates that was the first impression his new sis got of him. He knows that you cannot unsee it and everything might crumble because of it.
He doesn't want you telling the others about what you see in him and they then don't depend on him anymore out of worry. His entire existence revolves around them and he's just as yandere over them as he is with you.
Also yeah I do agree with the Jason thing. I think most people would gravitate to him because Jason knows what it’s like to be an outsider coming into this family.
Dick is so jealous over you and Jason's relationship tho. He cannot understand how you could feel safer with Jay over him when his younger brother has arguably more seething rage than he does.
Jason isn't always the nicest to you, and even has said hurtful things yet you still cling to him? Why is even being in the same room with Dick so nerve-wrecking for you?
Jason is also just as confused about this and asks you one day. To him, Dick is a good boy that would never harm you. If you think his big brother is bad, then he’s worse.
But what Jason failed to realize is that he’s extremely honest…even to a fault. Which is good. You know when to stay away from from him and when you’re in danger. Dick hides it so well that if you blink you might miss the crack.
"I dunno, Jay. You're just easier to read. If you're angry with me, you'll just flat out tell me. It's more terrifying to interact with someone that you have no idea what is going through their head. He rubs me the wrong way."
Jason accepts your answer and the conversation is done. Maybe Dick overheard it or maybe Jason relays it back to his brother in hopes to be helpful but it really gets to Dick.
You're not entirely wrong but he also doesn't really know how to go forward? If he suddenly stops being the happy-lucky Richard that everyone loves, his other siblings won't like him anymore...but if he acts more authentic...you might even hate that version even more. Damned if he does. Damned if he doesn't.
The best option is to just continue forcing you into submission like he did in the other post. You'll get worn down and eventually accept him as the rest do. He just knows it.
