Okay I was curious about something and it would be a great help if you had the answers for it (if not you can just ignore it, don't worry)

So I was scrolling through Tumblr and I found a post with the ethnicity percentages of each member of the Batfam. I already knew due to the canon comics that Cass was East Asian, Duke is black, Damian is Romani and that Tim is at least half Arabic. But Jason's one actually surprised me because I haven't read it anywhere else (I guess it is a headcanon)

In some fics I have read he calls reader Arabic pet mames because they claim that his father/mother could have been Arabic too. But other people portray him as at quart or half Latino 🤔

Idk I wanted to know if it was canon or a fandom opinion, Google didn't have the answer and you are probably the Tumblr user who knows more about the Batfam that I know. Ohh and btw if it is not canon what are your personal thoughts about it?

That's all, sorry for bothering, don't really have to answer if you don't want to. Hope you have a good day🫶🏼

of course i cant ignore this, it’s far too interesting! i was thrilled to receive a message like this bcos most of my life has centered around batman and co so let’s get into it.

i’ll start with this: it’s entirely up to interpretation! there aren’t wrong answers here.

i’ve only ever found eurocentric ties for jason todd on google (i actually looked this up pretty recently bcos i was devising my personal niche fancasts for jason todd and dick grayson) so i think he should be anything in anyone’s mind. projection is entirely encouraged. arabic or latino or whatever, anyone can headcanon him different than white and i’m sure one day we’ll have some definitive representation of a marginalized group within him from a comic book writer/artist that felt seen. an example i adore is terry mcginnis from batman beyond (1999) was never confirmed to be any ethnicity, for the most part he was considered wonder bread white until a guy by the name of sean gordon murphy had interpreted him to be wasian when first watching the show and then confirmed it later on by writing it into his series batman: beyond the white knight.

i have actually seen the posts you’re talking about regarding jason todd being arabic and speaking the language and i adored it. <33 i had no idea what the source was so it led me to believe the author just came up with it and that’s what fanfic is all about! writing your interests, indulging yourself, and projecting.

so yes, jason todd may not have a confirmed ethnicity, and he may look wonder bread white sometimes, which is all the more reason to project. he’s a blank slate, so give him some flavor.

Hi girl! I know we have never really interacted but I saw this post and well I am feral...😅

I mean I thought that nobody had actually heard about Dodge??? (honestly I wouldn't have either if I wasn't a massive musical nerd and need to consume every media Mike Faist is in 🙂‍↕️) I literally put him in my characters list having no faith somebody would write or read about him on Tumblr 😓

And regarding to your post... He would absolutely do that!!! He also strikes me as the type to ask for a good luck kiss before every task that always turns into something more if he has the time for it 🤭 Don't you think so?

Lots of love,

Riley 🍒

P.S: Please tell me if you have written any fic for him I would love to read it!!!

the good luck kiss 😵‍💫 oh my goddddd. his hands on your hips, his face a little smug (in that charming way) when you’re glaring up at him.

“cmon, i’ll be fine.” and when you don’t budge he tilts his head. “good luck kiss?” it takes you a second to give in but of course you do, leaning forward and pressing your lips to kiss once, twice, and thrice for good measure. and he kisses your forehead, lets you rest your head against his chest for a minute, before he eventually has to pull away. not before smacking your ass ofc.

ps. this is the only dodge thing i have written!

Girl, I watched the movie just yesterday to... IT WAS SO GOOD! I have always been into psychology and it's incredibly hard to find a book, movie or a series that portrays human behaviour and its darker parts as well as this one

Oliver's personality is so interesting and twisted, and I am low-key worried that I find him kind of cute and hot, I am not going to deny it. Are you planning to write for him?

Sorry for rambling in your inbox if it bothered you😓 I hardly now anyone who has seen the movie and I needed to talk about it with someone 😅

Well that's all, hope you have a good day 🫶🏻

i haven’t rlly done any specific thinking abt ollie’s thought process so im not drawn to him enough to write for him 😞 maybe ill post a thing or two but he’s not on my list
