Motivations:

Bart Allen (Impulse), Kon-El (Superboy), Greta Hayes (Secret), & Cassandra Cain (Batgirl)

Three kids who missed out on a childhood. Three lab escapees. Evil family member havers. They all have different relationships to killing also. Cass at one end and Greta at the other. Plenty of reasons to be close and reasons to be in conflict as well. Exploring the nature of predetermined paths based on your circumstances. Thawne, Luthor, Cain and being sacrificed.

Olive Silverlock and the Gotham Academy kids

Gotham Academy is a very fun inside perspective into the civilian lives of the students of Gotham. They never revealed what was happening with Colton and his parents and just kept hinting they were semi famous criminals. Maps deserves to cause more chaos with her friends. Olive needs to get a proper apology from Batman.

DC: Saved by the Belle Reve - Gotham Academy Story PREVIEW

I think the most interesting question raised by Gotham Academy right now is what's actually going on with Colton. Because it's been heavily implied his parents are big name gangsters (by both the reveal that they're criminals and the early bio saying "you might have heard of them") so it's very odd that they want to move to Metropolis, where they'd have to deal with Superman. He's also stolen Olive's journal, which doesn't seem to have an immediate connection to Metropolis (the only one I can think of is if Star Labs thought they could try to figure her out?). It's not out of the question for him to lie or run away from home, though, so he might be going to Metropolis on his own, or be planning to ditch them once they get to Metropolis.

Pomeline Fritch Is What Jason Todd Fans Wish He Was

Hi. This post is anti canon Jason Todd. Please don’t read if you do not want to see that. In addition, I have not read every comic--both Gotham Academy and all of DC. This also includes spoilers for all the comics that are out right now, including Saved By The Bell Reve. 

Canon Jason Todd and fans’ ideas of Jason Todd are two different people. In some fans’ minds, Jason did no wrong. He was right in killing people, right in trying to kill Tim, and later Damian, right in pretending to be Dick to ruin his life. In some fans’ minds, he is a theatre kid, who loves to read and “Dick should be nice.” In some fans’ minds, Roy has a better dynamic/build for a relationship with Jason than Dick, and that is not true. 

Now, let’s talk about the title for this post. 

I was thinking about it after seeing some anti Jason posts. Let’s look at Pomeline from Gotham Academy. She was introduced as the mean queen of the school. We later learn she is actually trying to save the school and later joins the Detective Club. She has a similar dynamic with the other Detective Club members that some Jason fans think he has with the other Bats.

Kyle: Kyle is the oldest of the group. He is a school Prefect and a tennis star. He is protective of his younger sister and friends. His sister Maps says something like, “he’s too lawful good to be in this party.” Pom goes on to call Kyle “Lawful Good” as a nickname sometimes. More than once in canon. Sound familiar? That’s because some fans have Jason call Dick “Golden Boy” or “Goldie” in some stories. Pomeline and Kyle is a friendship that is two people, who are not blood related, acting like siblings. The younger one calls the older one a nickname that talks about how good they are. The difference? Pomeline does not pretend to be him or try to kill him. Pom trusts and respects Kyle, even if she teases him a lot. She saved his life when he was taken.

Colton: Colton is the one who gets in trouble a lot but has a good heart. He is canonically not straight. He and Pom have an interesting and complex dynamic. However, it is obvious Pom cares about him. She calls her mom to prevent Colton from getting expelled. They argue and disagree but Pom never tried to kill him. Some think this is the canon dynamic for Jason and Tim, but it is not. 

Olive: Olive is the girl who Pomeline bullied. Once again, complex dynamic but Pom apologizes when she was wrong. Their ancestors were best friends. While Pomeline is not afraid to point out what Olive did wrong, she still obviously cares about Olive. She helped save the day and Olive when Olive was taken over by her ancestor. 

Maps: Maps is the youngest of the group. She sees the good in everyone until she finally can’t anymore. It is canon that she has a line. She is still friends with Pomeline. 

Pomeline has shown to be a complex and interesting character. She is not perfect, but that’s okay.  

(Let me know if anyone wants me to talk more about why I think dickroy is a better ship. Thanks!)

Inspired by these panels, like look at them:

[commentbooks]

He has such a way with words <3

[galentineday]

personally through my reread olive / colton has more potential for romantic chemistry than olive and pom
