#feral dick Grayson

[cubbiekins]

Jason : Uhh, don’t know if you can tell but we’re surrounded!

Dick, grinning like a maniac : Great! We can attack in all directions.

Damian : *A little terrified but has a new found respect for Dick*

Tim : *Already beating the shit out of them*

[confused-wanderer]

..the batfam siblings are randomnly getting teleported through time to the original days of batman and robin, but somehow Bruce is nowhere to be seen. This leads to so many more questions, and each of them has begged the villains to just put them out of their misery at some point.

Exhibit 1

Jason *teleports into Wayne Manor*

Jason: what the actual fuck is happening?

Eight year old Dick:

Jason:

Jason: Ah sh- shoot.. Hey there..

Eight year old Dick *lip trembles*

Jason *panicking* : uhhhh hey kid please don’t cry-

*WHAM*

Jason’s knees explode in pain as he doubled over and then there’s a continuous tornado of blows coming before he’s down for the count

Eight year old Dick: IM GONNA ROCK YOUR SHIT FUCKER *about to smash a granite statue on Jason’s head if Alfred hadn’t walked in at that moment*

Jason *tasting blood and wheezing* : I- I think my ribs are broken.. also why does this fucking feel like déjà vu?

Exhibit 2

Tim:

Robin!Dick:

Tim: uh- hey Dick?

*villain appears*

Tim *running in front* : Don’t worry I’ll protect yo-

Robin!Dick running out from behind him wielding an electric blowtorch he stole from Tim: MEET YOUR END TODAY!

Tim *panicking* : ROBIN NO

Dick *cackling* : ROBIN YES

Exhibit 3

Damian:

Dick:

Damian: Richard.. you’re- not what I expected.

Dick *scaling the side of the skyscraper to help a cat stuck there*

Damian: .. Compassion is a quality you always-

Damian:

Damian: .. Richard.. where is the rest of your gear?

Robin!Dick *with cats in hand running off the ledge*

Damian: RICHARD WHERE IS YOUR GRAPPLING HOOK?!

Dick ended up doing several gymnastic moves, giving a perfect landing with the cat in tow and not a single scratch on him. Damian has stopped functioning.

Bonus

Cass *smiling warmly*

Dick *smiling and waving* : HI NICE LADY!! Do you want a cookie? Alfred made them!!

Cass *taking the packet Dick is trying to hold upright*

Dick: That ones for you! And this *takes out a small box with a skull drawn on it with crayons* is for your family! I know you don’t like talking about them.. and I think they’re the ones who hurt you. Just give them one cookie and they’ll never bother you again!

Cass: :) . Thanks.. but cookie not solve everything..

Dick: Aww..

Dick:

Dick: If I burn their house down will that work?

Cass: •_•

Not letting anyone but their teen titans know that ur completely unhinged underneath the mask

[snakeredbirdbatkatana]

Dick knows anger better than most.

Since the night of the circus it's been all consuming each day a test to see if he finally gives in. Hiding behind smiles and laughter.

His siblings especially test his control.

Not what they do Little Wing could flat out murder him and he would brush it off.

Every bruise, every cut he sees on his Robins forces him to breathe. So he doesn't hunt whoever did it.

He knows Jason understands or at least is aware he watched the fights that occurred between Bruce and him.

But only one sibling understands exactly what he would do what he could do with the right motivation.

He killed the Joker if it wasn't for Bruce the clown would be six feet deep and he wouldn't lose a wink.

He knows Ra's has had a slight obsession with his Baby bird, his baby brother.

He didn't realized how far it had went. What Ra had orchestrated what he had tried to take from Tim.

His baby bird laid it all at his feet. Those eyes that once were so full of light shining with unshed tears. Haunted in the same way Dick's are when it rains.

His little Brother who no matter what will always be under his wing.

Ra was dead before Tim woke up the next morning.

When he did he found Dick Grayson sleeping chair facing the door escrima sticks in hand waiting.

He made the mistake once of letting Tim fly by himself.

Never again will his Robin walk alone.

Imagine this;

One of the Bats is trying to interrogate a criminal about their boss, but they aren't giving them answers. They decide to call in the big guns, and state as such.

"What are you going to do? Call Red Hood? I heard he's out of state," the criminal asks. The Bat that's interrogating them (can be any of them if they're not Tim or Damian, because you know that they're scary by themselves if they want to be) just looks at them.

A few minutes later, Nightwing appears, which makes the criminal laugh. The eldest Robin walks up to them with a smile on his face, and the criminal isn't that scared, because it's Nightwing, he's not that scary.

They're a lot more cautious of Nightwing after that encounter. And the thing is that no one believes them, because it's Nightwing, the guy who does a bunch of flips and makes jokes during fights. He's not that scary, you were just hallucinating.

Basically; Dick being scary when he wants to be

[kstarlitchaotics]

This has probably been brought up several times

But to people who think Jason is the feral one nah he can be (because at some point all of the Robin are no question) but all honestly it's always gonna be the first Robin

I mean have you read the older comics

[gay-mafia-stickball]

listen i like making fun of dick “pretty boy” grayson as much as the next batstan but i feel like we, as a fandom, kind of reduce him to only that. like, nine times out of ten, when i see a post about him, it’s him being conceited or the dc sexyman or just being overall “silly” and “emotional” and i can’t help but think that we’re missing the point of his character. dick grayson isn’t the comedic relief and he isn’t the pretty, stupid one. he’s proof that you can be strong, you can be a badass, you can save the city, all without giving in to the darkness. all of the members of the batfamily, including dick, have some sort of darkness inside them, but dick grayson, who radiates light and joy, has been called the true successor to batman, one of the only men everyone in the justice league trusts across timelines, better than batman himself when it comes to martial arts and fighting, and still cares so deeply about everyone around him and maintains his light to balance out the dark. we were given this complex, beautiful collage of a character, and to represent all of that with “haha pretty boy holds child like ferret” feels like a gross oversimplification. yes, he has the capacity to love and to joke and to be that tired soccer mom, but please never forget how he got there. i want to clarify that this is not me saying you can’t make posts where dick is pretty or being stupid or being a soccer mom or cherishing damian within an inch of his life. this is me reminding you that the man in these posts is capable of domesticity because of his, for lack of better word, badassery. i would love to see some more posts that are representative of that. tl;dr: dick grayson is sunshine because of his darkness and we would do best to remember that 😌

When a Robin sheds their uniform to uptake a new role, the goons and Rogues cry out in fear.

Robins are absolutely feral demon spirits that cause unparalleled levels of chaos. Batman may terrify criminals, but Robins are more likely to steal your actual soul. They aren't as bad as the Dark Knight, but somehow that shadow creature is the only reason Robins don't obliterate everyone and everything. Somehow, those traffic light colors prevent the kids from becoming worse. Robin is a symbol of hope, and the child in the costume tries to live up to that.

After the current Robin sheds the mantle?

Now, there's a "new" vigilante with less rules and less supervision. Also, chances are extremely high that another Robin will pop up by the end of the week.

boy hostage (spiritual successor to this)

big brother to the rescue:

[thebirdsandthebats]

Dick in Gotham handling a hostage situation at a local university. Some villain crashed a party in the student apartments and has the whole building locked down. Dick is in there with Damian, and they finally make it to the floor where the bad guy is and they’re having this big tense stand off before the final fight…

and then one of the college students who this guy had huddled in the corner grabs a chair and just fucking clocks this guy. He hits him over the head so hard that the chair breaks and the guy COLLAPSES. Dick is like . Oh??

And then the student turns around (with a truly unhinged glint in his eye) and Dick recognizes him and realizes OH . Oh this is Tim’s boyfriend. That’s the crazy guy who recruited us to go beat up cultists with him. Yeah we didn’t even need to come he had that handled actually

[cubbiekins]

Tim : Can’t you just hit him with your knife?

Dick : I believe the term is ‘Stab’.

Jason and Damian : *Confused and afraid to know why Tim asked Dick instead of either of them*

[confused-wanderer]

So- uh.. Batman started journaling days when he adopted Robin because he had no idea how to handle a kid-let alone a murderous one- and was trying to note down important information like what the child likes and doesn’t, what triggers them etc etc.

He also maintains a separate series detailing their interactions with villains and notes on if the child should be allowed near the villain and vice versa along with rules to implement with children and procedures to follow in case of their meeting.

Damian has five volumes written after him, which still continue to this day. Tim’s had fifty, Stephanie’s had twenty, Jason’s had eighty nine. But Dick? Dick has a hundred and twenty, atleast fourth of those written within his first month as robin. Why?

Exhibit 1

Batman: Ivy, listen to me-

Ivy: NO Batman! They’re destroying ecosystems, hunting endangered species, poisoning the rivers and-

Robin!dick *eyes in shock* : Is this true Batman?

Batman: .. yes

Robin!dick: oh..so why aren’t we helping Miss Evie?

Ivy:

Batman:

Batman: uh..because she’s breaking the law

Robin!dick *crossing his arms* : But didn’t you say the system is flawed? And how sometimes matters need to be taken into your own hands?

Batman: Hold on-

Robin!dick: Come to think of it, is what we’re doing legal? You steal police information and beat up thugs. If you’re doing it to save lives, so is she!

Ivy *enjoying watching this stubborn child making batman sweat as he tries to argue and eventually agrees to help Ivy in a better way, giving Dick a flower when he leaves*

Bruce knows that Dick would absolutely not mind sabotaging factories or blowing up shit with a supervillain. All he needs is a good reason.

Exhibit 2

Riddler: Aha! Now.. riddle me this-

Robin!dick: .. Why are you so ugly?

Riddler: ..wha-

Robin!dick: And are you lonely because there are better ways to find friends.

Hours of insulting later

Robin!dick; If you’re so smart, tell me this: What animal roars when threatened, laughs when hungry and burrows underneath for the entire year, very dangerous to humans but a herbivore and tiny?

Riddler:

Riddler: * a few hours later, on his knees after complying with every one of batman’s demands, going hysterical and pulling out his hair while rocking back and forth*

Batman *getting increasingly concerned* Robin tell him

Robin!dick: Nope! *walks away*

Riddler spent fifty days in Arkham. The riddle still haunts him to this day. Dick doesn’t know the answer either.

Exhibit 3

Penguin *appears*

Gremlin Dick who’s been waiting to kick the shit out of someone: GOLLY BATMAN LOOK A PIÑATA!

Batman *running after Dick before he murders Penguin*

This is why none of the villains bat an eye at the bat kids antics anymore. And whatever they do, they thank their lucky stars they’re not as bad as the first one was.

[archeronlochan]

poor Jason for knowing exactly what Tim and Dick are capable of and absolutely no one believing him when he tries to point it out

-

“Tim has literally blown up the League, he REGULARLY LIES TO BATMAN”

“Jason, please. Tim would never”

-

“Jay we just don’t understand why you think Dick is ‘a menace to society’…”

“Have you met him?!!!”

-

The only person who would have any idea is Babs and I firmly believe she elects to ignore it or, even more likely, finds immense joy in watching this play out

Part 1 Protective Nightwing

Dick Grayson has been a hero longer than most have he's made a reputation for being kind understanding silly he's overlooked but he was the first Robin. He trained under Deathstroke, beaten Batman and for every two that forgets one remembers.

When it comes to his brothers he will always be dangerous ready with his escrima cracking. One such instance was Black Mask.

Jason knew he might have overshot this one, a gun fight with over fifty of Sionis men. He's sweating he can't dodge he might be slightly scared he can feel that this is bad. Before he can think He's already on the Bat channel. An interesting convo he had with Little Red fresh in his mind.

He speaks shoving all of his fear sounding as pathetic as he can praying this works.

Dickie I'm scared there's too many help.

He hears his brothers intake of breathe as he growled sending all of the hair on Jason's neck up.

I'll be right there Little Wing just wait.

His brother descends before Jason can blink. All of them are down blood pouring out bones broken and there is Black Mask sobbing for mercy.

Nightwing is giggling as he shocks Mask he can smell the burning flesh and as much fun as it was to watch he can feel blood pouring from his shoulder and he really wants to pass out.

And well he never denied being Dramatic

Big Bird my shoulder he says as he falls into his brothers arms.

He got fussed over and coddled for 2 weeks but more importantly Black Mask pissed himself the next time Hood ran into him.

No wonder the baby birds always shout for big brother He wonders if it works on Deathstroke?



[lizardpersonyknow]

Playing never have I ever:

Jason, aiming for Damian: never have I ever killed someone

Tim and Dick put a finger down

Jason: WHAT

Dick: I killed the Joker for a bit

Jason, tearing up: we will revisit that later. replacement what the FUCK

Tim, sleep deprived: I have killed over 500 people in an estimate.

Everyone else: WHAT THE FUCK

[greenapplebling]

(kid)Tim: *suddenly feeling an impulse to do something*

Tim, looking at Dick: ...

Dick, distracted with his phone: ... Tim? What-

Tim, with his teeth attached to Dick's arm:

Dick:

Tim:

Dick: That's not how you bite someone
