Someone had to mention it, but yeah, the entire Court of Owls storyline is antisemitic. Like, Bruce being judged by the Court draws straight from a Passion play, complete with a little girl ordering to "make him hurt". (In this reading Batman and Jesus are "one of the good ones".) In Dark Nights: Metal, also by Snyder, the Court is also known as the Judas tribe. Most recently they used mind control, a spell often attributed to Jews by antisemites, on Dick.
It’s been a while since I read the original Court of Owls storyline from the New 52 & I never read Dark Knights: Death Metal, so I’m not familiar with some of the plot points your referencing. That being said, if everything you mentioned squares with what happens in those books, then it definitely sounds like Scott Snyder has a pattern of writing antisemitic tropes into his comic book storylines, unconsciously or not
#i’m not going to tag the specific storylines here because i don’t remember them well enough to verify#also i’m not sure what storyline anon is referring to with the mind control part at the end#i would just like to point out that dick is roma & not jewish but maybe i’m missing context here for what you meant#also i’m not jewish so i’m far from the best person on this site to have a discussion with about antisemitism in comics#there are plenty of jewish comic fans on here that speak up about things like this#and have the cultural background & experiences to give good analysis & explain how these kind of tropes connect to real-life antisemitism#i didn’t want to leave this anon unanswered because i think this is an important area for comic book criticism#and i don’t think it gets anywhere near the level of discussion it deserves in comics fandom#anyway just don’t talk me as an authority on this please defer to jewish comic fans comfortable talking about these issues etc.#and for context to anyone else seeing this since i answered this a little late this is about the new gotham knights game#where they’re making jacob kane a jewish character be the leader of the court of owls#a secret organization that controls gotham from the shadows & is part of a larger international organization that controls the whole world#which relates to antisemitic conspiracy theories about jewish people controlling the media the banks and the world at large#*don’t take me as an authority#answered#antisemitism

💍 dick & peter
send me 💍 + A SHIP and i’ll tell you—
@yoakkemae
where they get married
Somewhere in New York but outside the city, they don't need 'work' to whisk them away on a day that's supposed to be only for them. Nor for any villains to crash their wedding when undoubtedly there will will be more supers/vigilantes at the wedding too.
when they get married ( ie what time of day, what month and season etc. )
Sometime in the spring, when it's warmer outside and the day is beautiful.
what traditions they include
There is a marriage of traditions in between Dick and Peter as Dick is Roma and Peter is Jewish. The bread ceremony takes place as well as getting married under the chuppah, the breaking of the glass and the seven blessing.
what their wedding cake looks like
Tumblr media
….who smashes cake into whose face
Considering they're both giant goofs, I imagine they both try to do it to each other. Peter would grab a bite of the cake with the fork and then try to get frosting on Dick's face.
who proposed to who first
Pete, they'd discussed it a few times and once they'd been together for a while Peter started thinking more about it. He makes sure he talks to Mar'i before doing it though, he knows she will always be the most important person in Dick's life and he wants to respect that.
who walks down the aisle and who waits at the altar ( or neither )
They both walk down the aisle and meet each other there
what their wedding dresses / suits / other look like
I'd think they would wear traditional suits, though Peter tried to get a little coy and his cufflinks have Spider-Man on them. And the tie Peter wears is one that used to belong to his Uncle Ben.
what their wedding colour scheme is and what sort of decor they have
Blues, bluish greys and white.
what their vows are ( eg poetry, traditional, improvised etc. )
They would be a mixture of traditional and their own written vows as well.
if anyone’s late to the wedding
In typical Peter fashion, Peter is late to his own wedding. Hopes Mar'i won't kill him for it later.
who’s in the bridal parties / groomsmen / other
Peter: Kaine Parker, Ben Reilly, Johnny Storm, Flash Thompson, Harry Osborn and Mary Jane Watson
Dick: Roy Harper, Donna Troy, Wally West, Lilith Clay, Joey Wilson and Garth
who gives speeches at the reception ( bonus: what do they say? recount a sweet memory or two between them? tell an embarrassing story? )
I feel like Clark definitely gives one, he seems like the feelsy type and probably Roy. Johnny gives one as well and Peter dies of embarrassment and is thiiiis close to webbing his mouth shut.
who catches the bouquet( s )
Mar'i is the only one who was given a bouquet so she gets to keep hers pretty much all night unless she chooses to toss it.
what their wedding photos are like ( are they sweet, with the couple holding hands or kissing or ~gazing into each others eyes~? are they silly, with a snapshot of the ‘cake-smash’ moment? or are they artistic, with one of them facing the sunset or holding their bouquets? )
They have a mixture of silly and sweet pictures. It's the first time Peter is getting married (damn you Memphisto) and he's got a lot of emotions going on. There's cake smashing pictures, first look pictures with Peter doing stupid faces at the camera before either of them turns around. They sneak away during the reception to have a few moments to themselves and there's some beautiful, sappy pictures taken here of the two of them.
what sort of food they have at the reception
Probably something fancy like steak, but there's french fries as a side option as well because Peter has an addiction.
who cries first during the ceremony
Oh man... who doesn't. May cries, Peter cries, Clark definitely gets watery eyes, MJ too, JOSEPH.
how wild their reception gets
Oh man... wild, specially considering that there's a bunch of inebriated superheroes there, much of them who have known each other for years. Johnny is one of the first people to get drunk and he probably ends up making out with at least one person that night. Alfred dances, if you want to consider that wild.
what their rings are like
Plain silver bands, but have inscriptions inside of them.
what sort of favours they have
Probably something cool that won't get left behind like a coffee blend since they both drink too much of it, or a mason jar with desserts or little bottles of champagne
where they go for their honeymoon
Maybe somewhere overseas, a beach would be nice. Go out and explore a bit, somewhere they've never been.
something memorable that happens during the party / ceremony
Mar'i and Garth on the dance floor together
At one point Dick accidentally grabs Kaine thinking he's Peter (cons of being triplets) and Peter is behind Dick just laughing.
Bruce and May dance together uwu
who officiates the ceremony
Dianna Price does, which may or may not be one of the coolest things Peter has lived through.
what song their first dance is to
UUHHHH this one is hard and something I'll have to come back to when my brain isn't fried. Top pics are 'Can't Take My Eyes off You by Frankie Valli' 'As Time Goes By' or something like that but I also have old timey taste
who gives who away as they walk down the aisle
Clark and Bruce walk Dick down
May walks with Peter
