talia, my beloved, you are too good for these ghetto ass comic writers.

Renza!!! Hi!!! Sorry for bugging you!!!

Just wanted to ask a random question 😅 if that's ok!

I really wanna find a cool dc villain character to get attached to but none of them are particularly sticking for some reason 🤔

I mean Joker has somewhat caught my interest but it's feeling kinda like ⬆️↗️↩️↘️↙️↙️⬇️⬆️↩️⬆️⬇️↗️↙️↪️↗️↪️↗️⬇️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬇️↙️⬆️↘️↘️↗️⬇️⬆️⬇️↘️⬆️↘️⬆️⬇️

"!!!"

"???"

So I'm wondering if maybe there are any cool villains in DC you can introduce me to if you're ok with it!

I know about Riddler, Two-face, Scarecrow, and Joker 😅

In terms of like morally grey antihero-ish characters: Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy!

But I'm not getting as attached to any as I wish I was...any more you can maybe show me??? If you're cool with it and have the time! No pressure!

Sorry for bugging you!

Hugs!!!

Hey!!! You’re not bugging me at all!! Honestly I don’t know a tonnn of the villains, but one of my fav “sometimes good sometimes bad but unfortunately often has her character ruined due to bad writing and bigoted stereotypes” is Talia Al Ghul!! I think that when written/portrayed correctly, she is an amazing and very deep, fascinating character, though unfortunately the dc writers tend to use her as a way to be racist against middle eastern people. But her actual character is the daughter of Ra’s Al Ghul, the Demon Head and League of Assassins, and the mother of Damian Al Ghul Wayne (Batman’s biological son, the current Robin). While she definitely is morally grey, there is a lot of depth to be read into, like nature vs nurture and her love for her son driving her to do what she thinks is best, even if it isn’t always. She also helped to resurrect and heal Jason! So she’s like a mom to him to in some versions and ways 😊

If the Lazarus pit can restore lost limbs and bones and shit, would that mean it also restores wisdom teeth?

What I’m saying is, assuming Jason had his wisdom teeth out early (like I did), he’d have to get them out AGAIN before enacting his 5D chess revenge plan on Batman

AU where Jason, Cass and Damian meet in the League and cause so much chaos that a burnt out Ra's just dropped them with a note

"Two of them are yours the third one is free"

And Bruce rolls with it

[frownyalfred]

"That's all from Talia," Bruce says about a characteristic Damian absolutely, 100% inherited from him.

damian: mother spoke to me today, said grandfather has been cherishing drake’s spleen?

duke: tim… you have a spleen right?

tim: …

Talia, Damian, Bruce (but it’s the old wild west) 🌵⛰️🐴

AU where Jason comes back to Gotham and begins his plan to confront Batman and all that. Except after only like a week the Joker gets hit by a bus and then shot by a little old lady with a shotgun and dies.

Jason’s plan is now in shambles because the dramatic climax of his plan is no longer possible. But that’s fine. He’ll think of some other suitable alternative. Granted, it’s not quite the same if he uses some other villain. Making Batman choose doesn’t mean nearly as much when it’s not about the person who killed him.

And really, is he going to try and get Batman to kill Black Mask or something? Scarecrow? Red Hood is competent; he could do it himself so why bother.

So Jason lays low continues to build his criminal empire with astounding speed and efficiency. If only he could think of a good way to announce his return. Nothing he can think of is dramatic enough.

Meanwhile, the Bats are freaking out because who is this guy that’s taken over half of the Gotham underworld in like a month? He’s obviously trained, but they just can’t seem to get any information on who he is or where he came from. It is beyond frustrating.

After a few months Jason is frustrated that he just can’t seem to find any dramatic good way of making Batman prove himself. It has to be something big! Something magnificent!

During his weekly chat with Talia he complains about his problems and she suggests he come back for a visit. He argues that he can’t just leave, but she says if he has competent enough lieutenants it’d be fine. He spends the next three weeks making sure that everything will be fine if he leaves for a week. He will not have all of his hard work falling apart and going to waste due to incompetence. Absolutely not.

So then once his lieutenants are sufficiently prepared (and the rest of Gotham’s criminal element sufficiently cowed), he heads to Nanda Parbat, only to find Ra’s on the phone with Bruce, who is demanding to know if the Red Hood has any affiliation with the league.

Oh. Oh. He can give them affiliation.

A new plan begins to form.

He’s going to be the most affiliated he can be. Jason immediately goes to Talia with his newest plan: Overthrow Ra’s and takeover the league. Talia whips out her forty step outline for overthrowing Ra’s and tells Jason she’s so proud of him.

Jason has a new goal now, so he gets to work. He checks on things in Gotham, but everything seems to be fine and there haven’t been any unplanned explosions so it should be fine if he stays here for a bit.

Taking over Gotham really was good practice, as it turns out. Thanks to Talia’s plans and previous foundational efforts the takeover happens in no time.

Meanwhile the bats are still freaking out. Red Hood hasn’t been seen in three weeks, he may or may not have league of assassins connections, and even in his absence his goons seem to be managing things competently.

Back in Nanda Parbat, Jason and Talia finish their takeover. And now, finally, he’s ready to confront Batman.

He arrives in Gotham as the new head of the league. His arrival is loud, elaborate, and dramatic enough to fulfill his inner theater kid’s dreams.

Batman is speechless. And not his usual grunts instead of words, but actual surprised speechless. Jason is alive?!?!?!?

Jason was not expecting all the tears. And hugs. And mother henning. Goodness gracious, this was not part of the plan.

Bruce is obviously struggling with Jason’s revelation that he took over the league, but the newest little birdie seems almost relieved at that(?) and Dick and Alfred both seem strangely proud. Whatever. Even Bruce seems to be at least mostly ignoring that for now.

Then someone asks him if he knows Red Hood. Jason blinks. Says that yeah, he knows Red Hood. Everyone seems to ease at that. One mystery solved. Jason quickly realizes that most of them have no idea he is Red Hood. Cass seems to be the only exception but also appears amused and willing enough to not mention it.

Dramatic appearance complete, Jason now has a new goal: see how long he can keep the bats (minus Cass and potentially Alfred) in the dark about his crime boss identity.

He will bribe Cass as much as it takes to keep her on board with the causing chaos plan, but she seems eager enough. Favorite sibling status definitely unlocked. (The whole killing thing is fought over at great length and a truce of sorts is eventually made)

David Cain is never heard from again.

Damian shows up at some point.

At least one league member has suddenly found themselves as an HR rep for Gotham criminals? They’re still not quite sure how that happened.

my beloved divorcees

[littlefankingdom]

Talia introduced Damian to Bruce as "their second child", and now Bruce is mentally panicking because there's another one, somewhere, when this unspoken first child is Jason.

[niphredil-14]

Does anybody have any good recommendations for shows with Talia Al Ghul? And/Or comics that don’t ruin her character?

[spicy-apple-pie]

back on my Jason meets Damian in the league shit...
