Batman's Relationships with the "Batfam"

Alfred: Technically Alfred is his father-figure, but because Alfred actively chose to remain being Bruce's butler, and repressed his own issues, that just kneecapped Bruce's ability to heal, and enabled his worst impulses. Yes, they love each other, dearly. No, they will not communicate this unless they are on the brink of death.

Dick: I know, there's this whole thing with "eldest son". But first, Bruce was only in his early 20s when he took in Dick. And second, Bruce would have been actively avoiding trying to replace Dick's father, similar to Alfred. Their relationship is of close friends, and it isn't until they're both adults, well over a decade later, that either would even consider using familial terms to acknowledge each other. But that friendship is always the first level of their connection.

Barbara: There was hero worship that quickly died once Barbara got to see more of what Bruce is actually like. But there's still mutual respect and friendship, and Barbara is one of the few people Bruce actively listens to the input of.

Jason: Jason was the second Robin, but he was the first child who could accurately be called Bruce's son. When he meets Jason, Bruce is in a more balanced place in his life, he's on the path of healing, and he's willing to take in Jason not because he recognizes someone who's suffered the same way he has, like with Dick, but because he can help him. There's outright familial affection between Bruce and Jason, in ways we don't see with almost any other Batfam character. And then Jason dies, and Bruce's heart is shattered. Every single relationship Bruce has going forward is informed more by Jason's death than his parents'.

Tim: Tim and Bruce are a student and teacher. In many ways, Tim is Bruce's favorite student, but they aren't seeking family in each other, but that doesn't make their relationship any less deep or important to each other.

Cass: While a lot of comics tend to ignore or forget that Bruce outright adopted Cassandra to prove she would always have a home and family, the greatest truth is that Cass is Bruce's successor. Of all the batfam, she is the one who actively says she wants to take Bruce's place one day, and she believes in the cause of Batman stronger than anyone else. She was given a choice between cruelty and compassion, and like Bruce before her, she chose compassion. She's growing and improving, learning both from her own mistakes and from Bruce's, and ultimately, will be a greater hero than Batman before her.

Stephanie: A Mess. Not familial, but definitely a mess. Mostly because Steph's a victim of Batman writing at the time, and it never really got addressed to offer any improvement to her relationship with Bruce.

Damien: Damien is Bruce's son, but their relationship is fraught to say the least. Between being raised by the League, then Bruce being "dead" and Damien being raised/guided by Dick for a good amount of time, there's a lot of love there, but Damien is a victim of Bruce's decades of emotional repression and trauma in ways none of the other Batfam are, and both struggle to communicate, despite trying their best.

Duke, Luke, and Harper: All of these are colleagues at various levels of connection to Bruce. Duke is a younger vigilante just starting out, and Bruce is a grizzled veteran taking him under his wing, but not outright mentoring him the way he did the Robins. There's respect and teaching there, but not in the same way.

Kate Kane: They're cousins. They argue a lot.

My favorite Black couples in Period Films/Series.

An anon recently asked me about my favorite Black couples in period films/series. I have a few! Some of which come along with trigger warnings and a bit of a heads up on not so happy endings. Some of these couples have happy endings, some have endings that leave you wondering, and some have beautiful relationships that ended tragically.

Happy Endings (To me anyway.)

Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) & Rachel Robinson (Nicole Beharie) in 42 (2013).

Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) & Colonel Jim Johnson (Mahershala Ali) in Hidden Figures (2016). 

Chicken George (Regé-Jean Page) & Matilda (Erica Tazel) in Roots (2016).

Marie Ste. Marie (Nicole Lyn) & Richard Lermontant (Jason Olive) in The Feast of All Saints (2001).  

The characters in this miniseries go through a lot. TW for SA.

Not So Happy Endings (SPOILER-ISH!!)

Rosalee (Jurnee Smollett) &  Noah (Aldis Hodge)  in Underground (2016-2017). 

Canceled on a cliffhanger.

Tish Rivers (KiKi Layne) &  Alonzo 'Fonny' Hunt (Stephan James) in If Beale Street Could Talk (2018).

The ending isn’t definite. I choose to think positively about their story.

Cora William (Thuso Mbedu) & Royal (William Jackson Harper)  in The Underground Railroad (2021). 

This story ends tragically. 

Roots: The Next Generations (1979) has generations of a few sweet relationships that I enjoy watching.

All the Dead Lie Down by Kyrie McCauley

"'Everything stays at Lovelace, Mother says, down to the bone.'"

Year Read: 2023

Rating: 4/5

About: After the death of her mother in a horrific train wreck, Marin receives an employment opportunity at Lovelace House to nanny two girls. Alice Lovelace is a renowned horror writer and her mother's childhood best friend, and Marin is eager to learn more about her past. However, it's immediately clear that her two charges, Wren and Thea, don't want her there and are willing to resort to dangerous pranks to get her to leave. When their oldest sister, Evie, returns early from school, Marin finds herself attracted in spite of all of Evie's secrets. But the longer she stays at Lovelace, the more secrets she uncovers and the clearer it becomes that something sinister is happening. I received a free e-ARC through NetGalley from the publishers at HarperCollins/Katherine Tegen Books. Trigger warnings: parent death, animal death (a lot of minor animal deaths on-page, particularly birds, and a subplot involving an already-dead dog), emotional abuse, poison, body horror, severe injury, blood/gore, mental illness, grief, guilt.

Thoughts: All the Dead Lie Down is a haunting, atmospheric treat with a central wlw romance. I'm not the biggest fan of The Turn of the Screw, but there are definite Bly Manor vibes in Lovelace and its two slightly sinister children. It also reminded me a lot of The Bone Houses in its waking dead and quiet sense of horror paired with moments of contrasting loveliness. You wouldn't think books about dead things could be lovely, but here we are. There's more character and atmosphere than plot, which is rather slow-moving, but it all comes together well for a quiet, spooky little novel that's as much about grief as it is about dead things, although there's plenty of both.

Marin is a strong main character, and as an anxious, careful person myself, I found it easy to relate to her. She's not a risk-taker, but she's got a loyal, motherly protective streak for Wren and Thea (despite their tricks) that I really enjoyed. The relationships between all four of the girls are given plenty of attention, and I like the dynamics among all of them and the way they develop. There's a bit of a found family element in it as well, as Marin comes to find her place at Lovelace despite its horrors. I always love a wlw relationship, and Marin and Evie are a fun complement. (The kissing is a bit much at times, but I tend to let queer romances have that one. We deserve the happy rep.) I loved the central plot twists and the secrets once they started coming out, and there are plenty of creeps especially in the second half. I'll be looking for a copy for my shelf when it comes out.

In the Source Link, you will find a gif pack of Katherine McNamara in the short lived MTV tv show Happyland (2014).

Katherine played the role of Harper Munroe, a Happyland photographer, the former girlfriend of Will and the friend of Lucy. A few secrets come out over the course of the short eight episodes.
