JASON TODD HEADCANONS!!

love of my life!!!! he deserves so much love so here i am, ready to provide. these are my headcanons and i will admit NO hate towards them. also if you have any headcanon of your own for jason then comment because i might like it and add it to mines.

requests are open! hit that anon button and tell me your idea!

warnings: probably swearing, and slight mentions of his death. also this hasn’t been proof-read so yeah, read at your own risk.

i’ve always headcanoned jason todd as italian american, although i can see him as latino too (i just don’t like the negative connotations that follow because he’s usuallt headcanoned as latino because anger)

definitely not because of harmful stereotypes but because i can see jason’s grandparents being part of that italian population that migrated to usa to follow the american dream and ended up living the american nightmare.

not the godfather-like with the mafia, but with italians barely surviving in the misery of america (which feats jason’s backstory).

also i headcanon his grandmother as a great cook and comfort-person to him.

jason learned to cook thanks to his grandmother and alfred, but his best dish is a lasagna recipe he learned from his grandmother.

this is my subtle way of telling you jason is a great cook. that’s canon, though.

he doesn’t think too much about his sexual orientation a lot. jason doesn’t want to tie himself to an etiquette, that would bother him.

jason has had a polyamorus relationship with kori and roy. it was pretty healthy, tbh, but it’s over now.

he doesn’t really ‘do dating’. occasionally, one night stands are alright, but jason isn’t really into those either. he’s sure that whenever he meets someone that is meant to be and falls in love, he’ll handle it well.

he won’t because he self-sabotages and doesn’t leet people in, but if it’s really really meant to be he will eventually overcome it.

curses a lot. probably also in front of kids, and gets nervous when the kids repeat those words.

however, jason actually is very good with kids. he’s the babysitter of his shitty neighborhood, and kids love him.

jason doesn’t drink alcohol like ever. he has seen (bc of his parents) what addiction looks like and feels like and he prefers to leave himself out of it.

Child Protector™.

raging feminist and all for equality and fairness.

he smokes a big amount. just becayse, he has no real reason to do so. (he doesn’t consider smoking an addiction. anyways)

jason is the Best Neighbor™.

he loves his siblings equally, he just has a different relationship with each one. dick is his bro, tim is his smartass, damian is his little monster brother, duke is his buddy, steph is his fun sister and cass is his chill sister.

i’m kidding, his favorite is cass.

bookworm. (CANON)

loves classic. his favorite is... lolz he doesn’t even know himself, how would i know?

secretely enjoys ballet and keeps all the tickets of the ballets he has gone to.

damian found out about this (^^) and jason bribed him with a stray cat that kept coming around his apartment for his silence.

now damian has a play date every thursday at five at jason’s with the stray cat, because damian and jason know better than just snatch a stray cat.

anyways,,

sleeps either butt-naked or with sweatpants, no boxers.

claims he hates rom-coms.

actually loves them, they give him comfort and fuzzy feelings.

jason congratulates alfred every year on father’s day (and it always brings alfred to tears when he’s alone).

listen to me !! jason has READING GLASSES !!!!!!!!!!

okay.

doesn’t wear same color socks.

lack of self-care. dick or stephanie will randomely swing by his place from month to month to do face masks and drink water.

sometimes jason forgets to shave and doesn’t notice unless someone tells him.

probably wanted to own a water bed as a kid.

he looks even hotter with his reading glasses.

i’m obssesed okay !!!

his favorite justice league member is wonder woman and has merchandising to prove it.

jason has gone to two lady gaga’s concerts. one dragged by dick, other by himself.

he loves blankets. being under a blanket, no matter the reason, will always be comforting for him.

hates finger guns.

jason doesn’t handle the heat well. which means he handles it horribly and gets stupidly annoying.

cheesy and cocky, but actually an introvert. what can i say, he’s complicated.

clowns creep him out. speaks for itself.

does great impressions of the batfam.

he doesn’t do alfred or cass, though.

likes animals. not as much as damian, but still.

doesn’t use crowbars. no, like, i refuse. nope.

swears he doesn’t smoke.

three seconds rule apologist. i mean, he lived in the streets, guys.

steph did his nails once. he enjoyed it, 7/10, would do it again.

his favorite sibling to tease is damian, closely followed by tim.

has called the fucking bat-cow ‘meat’.

damian punched him for it.

works out too much for his own good, but calls it self-care.

tea >>> coffee. fight him on this, he’ll chew on your bones.

has read the silmarillion, acts like he understood it.

actually likes galas.

in those he only has two types of conversations: hypothetical ‘what if’ moral questions to see if someone has the same concept as justice as him and/or recommending books (mostly classics)

bruce has to drag him away from people when he gets annoying with those two types of conversations (CANON, see batman: wayne family adventures.)

big wuthering heights apologist & enjoyer.

damian actually listens to jason’s book recs and gives him feedback about them. it’s their bonding activity.

jason has a bonding activity with everyone from the batfam.

only writes with red pen.

would make a great team with deadpool, fight me on this.

makes a lot of ‘your mom’ jokes because it infuriates tim.

types text with no caps, emojis and no abbreviations. he uses emojis a lot, he’s a menace.

has been kicked out of the wayne family chat numerous times for innaporpiate behavior aka spamming, cursing, spamming with emojis and other little shenanigans.

he barely listens to music, but if he did, it would be rock, alternative... you know, all the jazzy stuff.

he needs love, he told me himself.

also his love language is cooking and physical contact because he’s touch starved (he also told me himself)

Got a handful of DC-solicit asks, so I’ll just write up my thoughts on the whole batch again.

Mister Miracle: The Source of Freedom #1: The BALLS to not only do the next Mister Miracle thing after King and Gerads, but to do it with Shilo Norman and therefore invite Seven Soldiers comparisons as well. I wouldn’t be that interested, but the preview art that came with the announcement looked fun so this is a maybe for me.

Wonder Girl #1: I got a Yara Flor ask so I’ll go more into detail with that, but this sounds...not good.

Future State: Gotham #1: Hahaha, thanks, call me in six months if the next team does something there’s a reason to give a shit about. Except...wait, Dennis Culver cowrote that E Is For Extinction Secret Wars mini, dammit this might be good. Either way though, god willing we get a Future State: Metropolis book by Dan Watters too.

Legends of the Dark Knight #1: Hopefully this going with Sensational Wonder Woman means there’s a similar Superman anthology in the cards too, but I won’t hold my breath. Darick Robertson doing Batman is enticing, but I’m not familiar with his work as a writer and the premise doesn’t sound that gripping so I’ll wait and see. That Francavilla variant though? DC, blow that up to poster size and you’d make a mint.

Milestone Returns: Infinite Edition #0: Hmm. I got love for Static, but I might wait for further announcements and/or buzz before taking the plunge on this one.

DC Festival of Heroes: The Asian Superhero Celebration #1: This is a SERIOUSLY stacked lineup, definite buy.

Stargirl Spring Break Special #1: Impeccable timing, DC. It feels like it must be some kind of statement that there are no Morrison members of the Seven Soldiers in the mix (even swapping out Ystin for the original version of Shining Knight no one cares bout) - we focus on the Moore fixation, but there’s enough tidbits that I really do feel like Johns probably flat-out hates Morrison. And what’s this ‘secret eighth soldier’ nonsense? There’ve always been eight soldiers, people have been joking about it forever!

Justice League: Last Ride #1: Discussed that announcement here.

Batman: Earth One Vol. 3: *blinks*

*blinks again*

*squints at the cover art*

...Geoff Johns are you seriously trying to step to Morrison and use the Miagani tribe? YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN PEOPLE

I Am Not Starfire: Interesting concept that seems like it pushes into indie-flavored territory as much as DC’s superhero output just about ever has, if word-of-mouth is good there’s a decent chance I’ll get this.

Action Comics #1031: Wonder if this is serious about the potential of Kryptonian refugees, given PKJ suggested the idea in Worlds of War and that could play a significant part in the New Krypton stuff from Bendis’s Legion (with Johnson being clear he’s following up on a lot of Bendis’s ideas with his own Superman run).

Superman #31: This sounds big-time like Johnson hammering Superman into a swords-and-sorcery shape for an arc since that’s his bag, but Superman’s malleable enough for that to work so I’m not complaining.

American Vampire 1976 #8: Still not getting, so.

Batman #108: Tynion’s well and truly figured out how to game the direct market’s dopiest instincts, hasn’t he? Well, as long as that’s in service of him getting to continue doing weird Batman stuff with Jorge Jimenez like introducing whatever the ‘Unsanity Collective’ is, that’s fine with me. And more Ghostmaker!

Batman: Black & White #6: Not as packed for the finale as some previous issues, but still looking good. And there’s really never gonna be a ‘last’ Scott Snyder Batman story, is there? Sure it’ll be good but that’s kind of a shame, his Detective #1027 feature really felt like a nice full circle.

Batman: The Detective #2: Guess I wasn’t the only one wondering if it was a stealth DKR prequel and they wanted to cut that notion out at the knees.

Batman/Catwoman #6: Still very down for it, but BOY that Batwoman costume Mann debuted on Twitter.

The Batman & Scooby Doo Mysteries #2: I recently finally started reading Sholly Fisch and companies’ Scooby-Doo Team-Up! recently after getting the whole run for free on ComiXology earlier this year and have fallen in love with it, so I’m totally grabbing this digitally.

Batman/Superman #18: “The Dark Knight and the Man of Steel are on a mission to stop the godlike Auteur.io from destroying the pocket worlds he’s created...but where on Earth did Auteur.io even come from? The answer starts not on Earth at all, but with an ancient cult of World Forger worshippers on a planet far away—and if our heroes are to have a prayer of stopping this mythic behemoth, they’ll need to get to the bottom of his power source, and quick! It’s a race against time as the parallel lives of entire worlds hang in the balance!”

Anonymous said: Haha is Yang really doing Superman & Batman vs. Zack Snyder and the Snyder Cult (look up “auter” if you don’t know what I mean)? That’s fucking hilarious, especially since he apparently comes from the World Forge which is where all the shitty Earths full of bad ideas are made. Pretty pointed criticism there if I’m reading it right.

I’ve seen two or three people other than this anon independently conclude this arc is about the Supermen and Batmen of the Multiverse teaming up to stop Zack Snyder from destroying them all and at this point I’m ready to ask my LCS owner if I’m allowed to pay more than cover price for this run.

Batman: Urban Legends #3: Much more into this after the Grifter and Outsiders stories in Future State.

Catwoman #31: No reason not to assume this’ll continue to be great.

Challenge of the Super Sons #2: Good for the folks who want this, and that Nick Bradshaw variant is fun.

Crime Syndicate #3: I wanna be convinced to get this book, but the interviews are not persuading me.

Detective Comics #1036: How long is Mora sticking around?!

The Dreaming: Waking Hours #10: Another one I’ve got nothing to say about because I’ve never been getting it.

The Flash #770: Actually really excited to hear about how bad this run will suck now that I know it’s by the mind behind that “Geoff Johns’ OC - do not steal - beats up the Grant Morrison DC future” catastrophe from Future State.

Green Lantern #2: Really couldn’t wait a month for Far Sector to wrap up, huh?

Harley Quinn #3: Still not interested, but that *is* a nice cover.

The Joker #3: There’s a very real possibility I’ll have dropped the book by this point if it turns out to be the illustrated editorial mandate I get the feeling it could be, but fingers crossed.

Justice League #61: Not complaining, but wow, this really is Naomi 2 since Campbell’s busy in order to provide the necessary material for the CW show.

Looney Toons #260/Mad #20: Were these grouped with the rest of the solicits before?

Man-Bat #4: Very curious how this’ll be received, given nobody much cares about Man-Bat but Wielgosz seems to be quickly becoming a favorite.

The Next Batman: Second Son #2: Hadn’t realized this was only 4 issues - guess for at least one of them it’ll be the Luke Fox book everyone expected in the first place.

Nightwing #80: Dick Grayson vs. Heartless, not how I expected the DC/Kingdom Hearts crossover to happen but I’ll take it. That variant though? ALL TIMER:

The Other History of the DC Universe #4: I was trying to figure out who the focus of #4 would be since we know #5 is about Thunder and Lightning, forgot Montoya was confirmed.

Robin #2: Wanna care, so don’t care.

Rorschach #8: I will get it and probably like it.

RWBY/Justice League #2: My thoughts here will be their own post because there’s something particularly notable, but:

Anonymous said: Have you seen the BATtleaxe from the new art for RWBY/Justice League?

Yes, anon. Yes I have.

Sensational Wonder Woman #3: Eh, premise doesn’t grab me but maybe.

Strange Adventures #10: God I love the book about how Adam Strange sucks.

Suicide Squad #3/Teen Titans Academy #3: Hahahahaha

Superman: Red and Blue #3: Fiffe and Stokoe doing Superman stories!!! And...Nick Spencer. With Christian Ward art?! Sigh, fine, hopefully it’ll be Nick Spencer doing a nice little comedy, and not having Grant Morrison Superman throwing his t-shirt away because he grew up and realized changing things is too hard. A horrible shame Pope is doing the main cover though, the allegations against him I guess never really got any attention. At least there’s this JPL variant:

The Swamp Thing #3: Swampy will never be my guy but very happy for those who dig him, because I imagine this’ll be terrific.

Truth & Justice #4: Normally I wouldn’t care at all, but what I’m hearing on Twitter about this is a crying shame - that Jeff Trammell is really talented and Red Hood is a favorite of his and this is likely to be one of Jason Todd’s few Actually Good comics, but that artist Rob Guillory is a bullying transphobic piece of shit. Sucks all around.

Wonder Woman #772: I was so excited for this run, and then Immortal Wonder Woman had to go and suck.

Assuming someone in the BatFam is the end game:

It's been only a week or so since Tony figured out who Ladybug is

She's captured everyone's hearts, but has to go to Gotham soon

For help, but also because of her internship

The Stark Gala becomes a 'you better live and come back one day, Mari or I STG' party, hosted by Tony Stark, of course

She makes all the outfits of the Starks, her parents, herself, Jagged, Penny, Luka, and Kagami (the last two friends minus Chloe from Paris) and she makes extra in case someone has a wardrobe malfunction

Meanwhile, the Waynes have heard a lot about the newest Stark: MDC

Tim is a fanboy. He's found everything related to his favorite rock star's designer/niece there is to find ("I'm not obsessed! They're just super talented, and I'd like something from them! Stop laughing at me, Dick!")

Dick has no room to tease him, as both him and Jason are pretty much in the same boat

Kor'i and Mar'i love MDC, as well

Every one of the Bats are huge Jagged Stone fans

Like... Nearly rabid

(Damian, Bruce, and Alfred redact that statement)

They're invited to Tony's gala thing (he only started it to surpass the Wayne Gala, like the Lil Shite he is)

The night of the party, only Bruce and Jason go, since the rest of the bats are busy

Bruce, Jagged (who brought Fang), and Tony are all chatting in the middle of the floor, 2/3rds of the group are just talking up Marinette

Jason, meanwhile, accidentally runs into this small, adorable child who proceeds to spill her punch all over his suit

He insists it's fine, but she won't take 'no' for an answer ("I am so sorry, please let me make it up to you" "Kid, it's fine, accidents happen" "No, seriously, let me help")

There's a look in her eyes that insists she do something, and he eventually agrees

Cue to Marinette having a suit jacket that matches and fits Jason because "You look like you're the same build as Mr. Stark (she's all for joining Peter in calling Tony 'Mr. Stark' to get under his skin)"

"you know Tony?"

She shrugs, and doesn't comment anymore on it

"give me your address, and I'll bring this back when it's clean again. I'm moving to Gotham for a while soon, anyway"

He does, she doesn't realize he's a Wayne, and they part when the party ends

Cue the entire BatFam sprinting into Jason's room, chasing after a full on scream

Like, they didn't know Jason's voice could get "so high and squeaky, what the hecc?"

They pause as they see Jason litterally jumping up and down

"What the hell, Todd."

Instead of answering, he shoves the jacket in Tim's face with a shite-eating grin

It takes a moment, but Tim scowls and pulls out his wallet

When the rest of the family only look confused, Tim sighs and explains

"He got an MDC original first."

"...you had a bet on that?"

Jason freezes, eyes widening

"HOLY SH*T, I MET THE MDC! SHE WAS SO TINY, OH MY GOD, BATS, WE HAVE TO ADOPT HER!"

They're confused for a solid minute

"YOU DONT UNDERSTAND SHES AN ANGEL AND HAS BLACK HAIR AND BLUE EYES!! SHE'S OBVIOUSLY A WAYNE!"

It takes all of Bruce's willpower not to adopt her on the spot when she visits them

Like, he almost brings up adoption papers

But he knows Stark would fight tooth and nail to keep this baby

So he restrains himself

(for now)

(he swears if one of his children doesn't marry her, he's bringing the adoption papers to court)

She doesn't stay long, only meeting all the Waynes at the house and going back to her hotel

The next day, a villain goes after Mar'i, near the park/mall/something Marinette is by

Instead of becoming Ladybug, she heccin kicks arse

As Marinette

She gets both her and Mar'i out of danger without a scratch using a yo-yo of all things and meets Batman and Robin as they clean up the rest

She's all like "no, it's alright, I'm sure anyone would do the same please stop thanking me, my family's gonna kick my ass to next year for scaring them like this"

Bats comes up and takes her statement, and she happens to mention the situation in Paris

"oh, this was nothing compared to some of the Akuma I've faced" "What's an akuma?" She paled, eyes widening in shock. "You don't know? About Ladybug, Chat Noir, Ryuuko, Viperion, Queen Bee, Red Wasp, Multimouse, Hawkmoth, Mayura, Carapace, Rena Rouge, and all them?"

She explains a little, giving basic information everyone knew, then shows him the app she made a while ago

The Akuma Alert app that held much more than just akuma-related things

She leaves soon after, and Batman has a goal in mind

Within the day, Diana is furious at the lack of response towards the Paris situation

"This Ladybug was left alone for all this time?! Shame on you all, leaving my mother's successor alone!"

When Ladybug is later spotted (hehe, get it?) in Gotham, the entire BatFam finds her and gets her in touch with the League

She explains how she asked both the League and the Avengers for help, all those years ago, and was pushed aside with warnings not to send in prank calls anymore

Of course, Iron Man has already looked into it, but he's not exactly a detective and the more brains on this, the better

Meanwhile, as civilians...

The normal shipping stuff happens

With the exception that nearly every criminal in Gotham low-key adopts Marinette

They may think she's the next Wayne, but the Angel of Gotham is off limits

And not because the little Wayne chases after anyone who even looks at her wrong with a katana

Not just as Robin. As Damian

Marinette actually meets a few villains on the street

She was going to a commission, carrying some hero, vigilante, and villain themed macaroons when she got lost

(before meeting the Waynes officially, actually)

She was in a park, looking lost when Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn came up

She offered treats, and ever since she's the Angel of Gotham

Once, when on a date with her romantic interest, Killer Croc tried taking the restaurant hostage after robbing a bank

Key word: tried

Marinette calmly slipped behind him, grabbed his tail, and dragged his butt outta there

(he blames the fast French girl and the tile on the floor, which didn't let him get a good grip)

By the time Bats and the police got there, Croc was in tears as this tiny French girl lectured him about manners and interrupting dates

(the BatFam can't think of a funnier time)

When the Joker actually kidnaps her as a way to get to Batman, literally everyone rages a rescue mission

Harley, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze (Marinette reminds him of the daughter he's always wanted, with his frozen wife), Two-Face (Marinette talked philosophy with him, showing him he still had choices beyond the black and white), Killer Crock (who was impressed by the tiny French girl who threw him out of a restaurant by his tail that one time), Batman, Robin, the Teen Titans, Red Hood, Red Robin, Wonder Woman (she could feel Tikki's influence on Marinette and guessed her identity), Nightwing, all the Avengers, Red Wasp (Chloe, with the Bee Miraculous because she earned it back ages ago), Sabine (no one messed with her baby. No one), a teenage boy wielding a potato gun (who let this kid here?), Pepper, Penny (the two women were fast friends, bonding over their husbands' eccentric ways), Jagged with Fang, Audrey Bourgeois, and the entire police force storm the Joker's hideout

He didn't have a chance

Later, they admit it was kinda funny watching the small Sabine beating the crap out of the deranged clown

Fang, who was usually a puppy with scales, didn't hesitate to bite off the Joker's hand, reminiscent of Captain Hook and the Croc

Marinette's fine (or not, depending on how much angst you want in the story. It's easy to have her tourtured and nearly killed in the Joker's clutches {or actually killed and focused on angst from everyone who knew her [possible heavy Lila/class salt]} and see her move past her PTSD) and she gets home eventually

Around this time, she's made the Guardian of the Miraculous

She eventually goes back to Paris with her huge family (or everyone she thinks could keep their emotions in check)

They kick Gabriel's arse, but Adrien gets away with his mother (who was healed by Ladybug)

Possible second book

Marinette's ship becomes the Black Cat

Time skip, fiveish years later, some of Marinette's classmates see her for the first time since she left

They insult and sass her, not changed since school

Her S/O scowls and debunks them easily, defending Marinette

When they don't stop, Marinette's S/O calls Bruce, Tony, Jagged, and the rest of the League and the Avengers to destroy the morons in the class because they know how long they've waited for this moment

Mari puts her head in her hands, but doesn't stop them because she knows how long they've waited for this moment

Three hours later, the speeches and lectures aren't done yet

Lila eventually goes to Gotham or wherever Marinette is, and tries to warn the person on her arm about Marinette's 'bulling tendencies'

That gets another lecture

Or, her class gets a tour at either SI or WE, depending on when in the story you write it (could be both, and the class just doesn't learn or Tony, Pepper, and their kids were visiting WE to talk about Mari Protection Measures when they overhear it)

Lila goes off on how Mari's S/O is actually Lila's, or how she's BFFS with Batman/Iron Man/ Bruce Wayne and his kids/ Tony Stark and his kids/ the Avengers/ the Justice League

Cue the class seeing Mari

Instant bullying

The resident children and billionaire steps up, insulting and embarrassing the class while defending Mari

Lila tries to turn it around, but they're having none of that

First the kids jump at the chance to defend their little sister and/or girlfriend, then the big guns show up

At WE, it's Bruce, a highly protective Jason, and Tim, who has every single sin/mean thing/lie pulled up in a folder

It's thicker than his hand, and hard to hold

It's both in digital and physical form and sent to every single member of Mari's family- blood related or not

At SI, it's Tony and Pepper

FRIDAY steps up, too

Harley shoots Lila with the potato gun mk 3 until she leaves

The class don't know what they did wrong, but they swear to make it up just to get the scary CEOs and relatives

Also, if anyone knows the AU where Marinette was a street kid with Jason and his little sister (I can't remember who made it or what it was called, but I fell in l o v e), that could work with this one too. Jason would be so proud of his Lil sister being so famous and awesome and "how dare you let me think you were dead!! Do you have any idea how worried I was?!" "I made you worried?! You up and nearly got killed last I checked!"

Jason swore not to tell her he actually died once. He prays she never finds out.

You know who irritates me to no end (and this will give a A LOT of hate but I honestly don’t care, some of you clearly need to hear this) is how fucking privileged Batfamily fans are.

This whole fucking week I had to hear from Nightwing fans how DC doesn’t respect him. Like what?

Excuse me?

He has his ongoing own solo book. Has had this ongoing solo for years now. For a sidekick, street level hero, that’s plenty of respect. DC likes him just fine.

You know who doesn’t have their own solo book? Wally West, any secondary Wonder Woman character. Hell Nightwing is in more books than Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Martian Manhunter, would you gather that? We got one(1) short Mera spinoff out of Aquaman thankfully, but a shit ton of other main stay characters/legacy characters that can carry their book who haven’t had nearly the amount of opportunity Nightwing, Batman, or Red Hood books to be good, or gain traction, surprisingly don’t have such privileges. And yet you don’t hear their fans bitch nearly as much as Nightwing fans over how “unfair DC is being” to their favorite character.

Jason Todd? Whose fans whine how he “didn’t deserve” what DC gave him? Has his own fucking team. Yes, that’s right. He is the weakest fucking character on his own goddamn team and he still headlines it--hell he even gets his own personal sex Amazon out of it. Because if it can’t be Bruce fucking Diana, we gotta have some Bat kid fuck an Amazon somewhere, right DC? We can’t have those pesky strong female Wonder Woman characters have any semblance of independence from the Superfamily or Batfamily, right? Outside of that all the development goes to Jason emo-edge-lord Todd and I still have to hear his fans piss and moan how “DC just isn’t fair to poor ol Jason.” Yeah, trust me, DC is less fair to Artemis in that same goddamn book.

Damian? Fuck you. Just fuck you. If you for one think this shithead is getting the short end of any stick, let me introduce you to EVERY OTHER DC CHARACTER EVER CREATED. I had to hear people whine about how OP and unrelatable Superman is for years only to hear people defend the logic behind a fucking 10 year old human boy just being practically asshole jesus superspy ninja assassin that is the center of the universe? Give me a goddamn break. What’s more is this character is in EVERYTHING. So please, Damian fans, you can go ahead and burn those “but DC hates my character the most” cards.

Even Tim Drake, who I actually do understand why people feel he’s been shafted, hasn’t had it nearly as bad as EVERY OTHER DC CHARACTER EVER CREATED. He has more appearances in comics than some main members of the Justice League. So once again, get in the back of the goddamn line.

Barbara Gordan/Oracle, okay, maybe you guys have an excuse...................................................way back in the 80s with the Killing Joke. And maybe when Bruce Timm animated an adaptation of that. But beyond that, for a character who was originally a sidekick/girlfriend to a sidekick, I’d say between all her appearances in media to comics, she’s doing very very well. Compare that to someone like Power Girl or Donna Troy. Yeah...she’s fine.

Stephanie Brown, Duke Thomas, Cassandra Cain, etc? Honestly most of these characters shafting problems stem from the overexposure of the characters above. So fans of these need to take it up with your fellow Batfam fans, because it sure isn’t Doctor Fate that’s taking up a potential Cassandra Cain solo spot. I don’t know, compromise. Demand for some mix and match. Instead of a solo Nightwing run where the walking STD gets into a love triangle for the 728394th time, make it a Nightwing/Cassandra Cain teamup. Instead of making a Damian Wayne solo where---I guess judging by patterns here initiated by Tom King and then Scott Lobdell---Hippolyta turns into his personal sex Amazon, make it a Damian Wayne/Duke Thomas teamup. I mean, you guys call it a BATFAMILY. Why not make those books reflect that? Combine the character interactions to free up some funds and authors for some spots to actually develop DC characters who need it.

Basically, if you’re a Batfam fan (specifically those who don’t recognize how good they have it), and am tempted to post and gripe about “how DC just hates Dick Grayson/Jason Todd/Damian Morrison/Tim Drake” just take a deep breath, pause, and take a moment to realize DC and Dan Didio doesn’t hate them nearly as much as they hate the entirety of the rest of their characters.

To Be Happy - Summer

By: SassyShoulderAngel319

Fandom/Character(s): DC, BatFam, SuperFam - Jason Todd/Robin & Conner Kent/Kon-El/Superboy

Rating: PG

Original Idea: @welovegroot really loves it when I write a Jason/OC/Kon drama triangle I guess so here’s this one. This one’s drama came from this song. (S/O to my sister for listening to the soundtrack on perpetual repeat)

Notes: (Masterlist)(By Character)(About Me) This one will have several parts. Five, to be exact! I go to a college where we get out the first week of May, so yes May counts as summer fight me.

^^^^^

May 18, 2:15PM

“Welcome to Mount Justice,” Nightwing said as the zeta tube spat us out. I stumbled clumsily onto all fours like an idiot. “Don’t worry, Stars. You’ll get used to that. It’s not so bad after the first couple times.”

I cleared my throat. “Right.”

“Hey guys! What’s going—who’s this?” a new voice asked as a boy who was half-a-foot shorter than me but about the same age as I was approached us.

“Oh,” Nightwing said. “This is the new recruit. Starbeam. Starbeam, this is my brother. Robin.”

“Nice to meet you, Robin,” I said, sticking my hand out. The smaller boy took it and shook it.

“Pleasure’s mine,” he replied.

I grinned.

“Hey Robin, how about I let you give her the tour? I think you’re closer to her age,” Nightwing suggested.

“Sure,” Robin said. He extended his elbow to me. “M’lady. May I escort you around the fortress? You’ll find it’s easy to get lost alone.”

I laughed and looped my arm through his. “You may, good sir,” I said playfully.

He grinned and started to show me around. “So. New recruit, huh? Didn’t know we were recruiting.”

“According to Nightwing you’re always recruiting, but there aren’t enough sidekicks to add to the team.”

“Ah. Makes sense I guess. So what’s your story? Who trained you?”

I sighed and stuck my other hand in the pocket of my suit to bring out a photo. “This is Mind Beam. She mentored me.” I passed it to him. He took it and examined it before handing it back to me. I put it gently back in my pocket.

“Never heard of her,” he said thoughtfully. “She’s not part of the Justice League I'm guessing.”

“No. She refused. Personal reasons. But she’s powerful and agreed to train me.”

“So what can you do?”

“I'm telekinetic,” I said.

“Cool. This is the kitchen. Only two members of the team live here full-time so it doesn’t get too much use.”

“Three,” I corrected.

“You’re going to live here?”

“Don’t have anywhere else to go.” I shrugged.

“Oh. Sorry.”

“It’s fine. Thanks.”

“Speaking of full-timers—hey Supes! Come meet the newbie!”

A boy taller than both me and Robin approached us. “Hi,” he said blandly.

I smiled and stuck my hand out. “Starbeam,” I said.

He shook it powerfully. “Superboy. You can call me Kon.”

“Call me Stars.”

Kon looked at Robin. “Giving the grand tour, huh?” he asked. He was so handsome. Defined features for a teenager with bottomless blue eyes, black hair, and muscular.

Robin nodded. “Yup,” he said, a proud smile on his face. He held himself confidently for a 4’7” fifteen-year-old who Kon could probably break in half with a snap of his fingers. I could tear this tiny Robin in two with a blink and a thought. But I liked his confidence. I thought it had a certain cute charm to it.

“I’ll leave you two to it,” Kon said before bowing out of the kitchen.

I stared after him as he left. “He’s cute,” I said impulsively.

Little Robin puffed his chest out. “You think so?” he asked with a disgusted expression on his face. I chuckled and grinned at Robin.

“You’re cute too,” I amended.

“Hmph,” Robin grunted.

I looked at where Superboy disappeared. “So what’s his story, though? I didn’t know Superman had a son—I mean, a sidekick.”

“Technically he doesn’t have either,” Robin said begrudgingly. “Supey is a half-clone of the big guy.”

“Half?”

“The other half is Lex Luthor.”

I blinked. “… Oh.”

“But, really, he’s not much like either of them,” Robin said, completely cavalier. He beckoned me out of the kitchen. I followed curiously, eager to see the rest of the base.

^^^^^

Jason glanced at Starbeam as she wandered Mt. Justice with him. She had an awed expression on her face. She seemed so sweet and pretty. Her banter was quick-witted and playful. She greeted M’gann with a kind, gentle smile and excitement that made her eyes light up. She matched up with Jason’s sense of humor easily. She knew what he was talking about when he mentioned favorite classic novels of his and commented on the philosophy of some of them.

He was head-over-heels.

But… the way she looked at Conner…

It was common for girls to look at Conner the way she had. He was a handsome guy, Jason supposed, with something rugged that girls liked—for some reason. But it was uncommon for the type of girl Jason usually found himself liking to stare at Conner like that. The ones with incredible mental intelligence and emotional intelligence who looked deeper than the surface.

Maybe…

Maybe it was better if she went after Conner. She’d only end up breaking Jason’s heart… right?

Jason shook his head while Starbeam and M’gann chatted with pleasant tones and grins. Her laughter was infection and her smile made his heart melt.

Stop it, Jason. You can only bear so much, he chastised himself. Compared to a six-foot football player, a four-foot-seven pipsqueak like you has no chance. Better not get your hopes up.

She looked back at him. “Shall we continue the tour?” she asked.

“Yeah sure,” he said, voice more dejected than before.

She noticed and scrunched her eyebrows as they headed off. “What’s wrong? Did I say something to offend you?”

Jason shook his head, snapping out of his thoughts. “No. Sorry. Just got distracted.”

“Oh. Okay.”

“So, this is going to be your room, I guess…”

They continued the tour, and Jason found himself looking at her more than what he was meant to be showing her. He knew what all of it was anyway—he could explain whatever he was showing her without looking.

When it was over, they ended in the zeta tube area where her bags were waiting for her to move them.

Kon was already there, picking three of them up. She had several duffle bags with her clothes and gear. “Sorry I just… thought I’d get these out of the way in case someone comes in without knowing they’re there and tripping. Which room is yours?” Kon asked.

Jason bent down to grab another duffle bag, rolling his eyes when Stars and Kon wouldn’t see.

“Uh… Robin? Remind me which room is mine?” she requested, setting her hand on Jason’s back as he pretended to be fiddling with untwisting the strap. He straightened up.

“I’ll show you how to get there from here,” he said, giving her a smile. She grinned back.

“Thanks.”

Jason pretended he didn’t notice Kon narrowing his eyes at him as he pulled the bag strap onto his shoulder. She grabbed three—one with her powers and the other two on each shoulder—and followed after him.

^^^^^

June 15, 4:35PM

Over Jason’s next several visits to Mt. Justice after school and on weekends, he began to notice Stars and Kon developing crushes on each other. Awkward blushes when the other would look away. Occasionally getting flustered when speaking to each other. Lots of stumbling over words. Several accidental impacts when one would enter the room as the other was leaving that ended with more stumbling over words and blushes. A training session where she ended up pinning him down while he stared at her like he’d just been blessed by Wonder Woman.

Jason tried not to feel anything, but that green monster of envy and the red monster of anger reared their disgustingly ugly heads in his chest and stomach. The angry one eventually got put down because he had no reason to be angry that she was happy, but the envious sensation didn’t want to go away.

One Friday he arrived to hear her singing Broadway and Disney songs in her room. M’gann sounded like she was in Stars’ room as well, singing the two parts near the end of For the First Time in Forever from “Frozen”. Stars sounded like she was singing Elsa and M’gann Anna.

They were also laughing.

Jason jogged through the base to her doorway. It was open.

Stars was all dressed up—wearing a nice blouse and dressy jeans, and makeup for the first time since Jason met her. “You look… nice,” he said.

She beamed at him. “Thanks! Kon and I are going to a movie so I thought I’d look nice.”

“Like… a date?”

“Uh… we didn’t specify. He just asked if I was interested in that new sci-fi movie that came out and of course I am so we’re gonna go see it while everyone else is busy.”

Jason slouched his shoulders. “Uh… cool,” he said. “I’ll, uh, leave you to it.”

“You’re welcome to join us,” Stars remarked.

“No, no. You two have some… girl time.”

“Oh we do all the time,” Stars dismissed. “We both live here full-time. Come on in and join.”

^^^^^

Knock-knock!

Robin, M’gann, and I all turned to my door. Kon was standing there with a nice jacket on over his usual outfit of his House of El crest T-shirt and jeans. M’gann paused the music and Robin relaxed out of the instinctive fighting stance he took.

Kon cleared his throat. “Are, uh, are you ready, Stars?” he asked, ignoring my visitors.

I nodded and grabbed my purse off my bed. “Yup!” I said. I turned to M’gann and Robin. “See you guys later. Say hi to Wally for me when he gets here.”

I ducked out of the room, hearing M’gann and Robin both call out a, “Will do!”

Kon and I headed to the exit of the mountain that would take us to the nearby town, walking side-by-side.

Kon stopped. I did too a step-and-a-half after. “What’s wrong?” I asked.

He bit his lower lip. “I, uh… something seems… wrong,” he said quietly.

I blinked. “Like…?” I prompted gently.

He sighed. “Like, am I supposed to hold your hand or have your arm through mine? Is that a thing?”

“It’s a thing. It’s not a thing we have to engage in if you don’t want to.”

“I don’t mind.”

“Then how about the escort?” I suggested. “Bend your elbow towards me.” Kon did so. I looped my arm through his. “See? There we go. All fixed. It shows we’re doing something together but might not necessarily be a couple.”

“Oh. Okay.”

I smiled and giggled quietly as we proceeded the rest of the way out the mountain, heading into town.

The movie was fun. We laughed a lot and glanced at each other to make sure the other didn’t miss what just happened.

I half-expected Kon to fake-yawn and wrap his arm around my shoulders before remembering he didn’t exactly have a normal life like I had and hadn’t been taught that something like that was a thing. I was fine when it didn’t happen. I was fine when he didn’t put his hand on the armrest with his palm up, inviting me to hold his hand. I was fine. I actually liked it. First time I went to a movie alone with a guy and he didn’t try to make a move on me.

How refreshing.

Note

Let’s say that all the batman movies exist in the DC universe. Which one would be the favorite of each member of the batfam?

My picks and subsequent explanations.

Bruce Wayne: Batman: The Animated Series. Bruce thinks this is the only version of Batman that gets what Batman is all about.

Alfred Pennyworth: the 1966 Batman movie and TV series. Alfred likes the classics. He also likes The LEGO Batman Movie a lot.

Dick Grayson: The LEGO Batman Movie. I mean, isn’t it obvious that he would choose this one?

Barbara Gordon: the Birds of Prey TV series. No one dares tell Babs she can’t choose the one adaptation where she is the main character. She hates Batman: the Killing Joke, and everyone knows better than to bring the animation up.

Jason Todd: the Under the Red Hood animation, for obvious reasons. However, whenever someone complains that he has to choose something that doesn’t revolve around him, he chooses Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, because “Batman abandons his career because I died! Also: batguns!”.

Tim Drake: Tim is a fan of most of the cartoon series, the Young Justice TV series being his favourite.

Stephanie Brown: Batman & Robin, the 1997 movie. When she is questioned about her choice she answers with “one word: batnipples”.

Cassandra Cain: the Wonder Woman movie. “But it’s not a Batman adaptation!”, someone says. To this, she answers, “Bruce is mentioned in it, and, most importantly, women kick asses in this movie”.

Damian Wayne: in reality, his favourite adaptation is Teen Titans Go!, but no one knows this - except for Alfred, of course. He claims that his favourite is Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy, since it is “the most realistic one”. However, he takes issues with “how mother and grandfather were portrayed”.

Duke Thomas: the Justice League movie. He kind of identifies with some aspects of it and likes its diversity.

Top Ten Comic Characters of All Time (according to me)

Introduction/disclaimer:

This list is mine and is based on my personal and subjective criteria. My choices are based on what I have read in comics as opposed to other media. For instance, one of my favorite superheroes, Squirrel Girl, is not on this list because I have read next to none of her comics and my love of the character is based almost exclusively on her concept and her appearances in other media.

Also, some people might want to fault me and my list for a lack of “inclusiveness” or “representation” or whatever. Full disclosure: I’m a straight white dude and I tend to relate most to the straight white dude characters that have historically dominated the comics world. Thus, I’m more likely to be drawn to stories about those characters. I do not apologize for my tastes. If they radically differ from yours, feel free to make your own list and tell me why you like the characters you like. That would be awesome.

Finally, there are half a dozen characters outside this Top Ten that could jump into it at any moment. This list represents my Top Ten at the time I wrote this and is subject to change.

Still with me? Cool! Here we go!

10. Wolverine

Most people would put Logan aka James Howlett aka the Wolverine much higher on their lists, and I completely understand why. He is “the best he is at what he does” ™ and is one of the most complex and interesting characters in comics. He also, until his death a couple of years ago, was perhaps the most overexposed character in all of comics. He’s a down to earth guy who mostly just wants to be left alone, but neither the comic world nor the comic industry is willing to give him a break. With a cool and dark backstory and super cool powers, he’s one of the legitimate badasses in the Marvel universe.

9. Blue Beetle/Jaime Reyes

“What is this blasphemy?! Jaime Reyes ranked higher than Mr. Snikt?!” Yes. This is my list and I say Jaime gets a higher spot.

Hear me out on this. Beetle gets this spot on my list mainly due to his introductory arc during DC’s “One Year Later” event and his recent “Rebirth” run. Both runs are well written with great character interaction and dialogue. Jaime’s just a regular high school kid who also happens to be a superhero. Not the most original concept (*cough* Spider-Man! *cough*) but he pulls it off in what feels like a fresh way. It also doesn’t hurt that he was a show stealer in his recurring role in the “Batman: The Brave and the Bold” cartoon a few years ago. But his comics just shine to me.

8. Batman

More controversy! Batman is only at number 8! I realize most people place him much higher because he’s one of the more relatable members of DC’s top-flight heroes in that he’s just a man in a world of gods. For me, he suffers from the same kind of overexposure that Wolverine has had over the years. I also don’t tend to find him as interesting as the characters he deals with, whether his allies or his rogues' gallery. He’s a darker, more brooding Iron Man (I realize Batman came first, but I think the comparison is still valid). I find him at his best when he’s forced to play with others, especially Superman, because the tension between the “solitary crimefighter” and the “super team” dynamics can be so fun. Recommended reading includes the Justice miniseries by Alex Ross and Co. and the Justice League: Lightning Saga story arc.

7. Captain Marvel/Shazam!

For the five of you that are still reading, this entry might be the last straw. Bear with me. Batman is the dark, brooding hero of the night. Captain Marvel (or Shazam for those willing to give up the ghost of Fawcett Comics) is the polar opposite of that: he is bright, colorful, and full of whimsy. Whimsy and wonder are both things that are in short supply in this post-Watchmen comics world, and that’s a shame. It’s that harkening back to the core of how comics began that is a large part of his appeal to me. Interestingly enough, it’s a couple of his more recent stories that have made me love him as a character. Jeff Smith, of Bone fame, wrote an origin miniseries for Captain Marvel called Shazam and the Monster Society of Evil and it’s wonderful. Also recommended is his part in the previously mentioned Justice series.

6. Captain America

This is a more conventional pick. Cap makes this list for similar reasons to the previous Captain on this list: he represents the values and sentiments of a bygone age. In particular, his refusal to compromise his beliefs regardless of the personal cost is a breath of fresh air and too seldom seen anymore. Leader, soldier, champion of liberty, that’s Cap. Look up his run in the New Avengers series up through the Civil War arc to see exactly what I’m talking about.

Also, Hydra Cap never happened. Just no.

5. Joker

You know how the last two choices were upstanding, almost squeaky-clean citizens?

Yeah, good times.

For someone completely different, Number Five gives us the Joker. He is, bar none, the most fascinating supervillain ever, responsible for some of the most twisted moments in mainstream comics. Jason Todd? That was the Joker. Barbara Gordon? Yep, that was him, too. Harley Quinn? Mistah J says, “You’re welcome.” The Joker is sick, twisted, and downright evil, and he embraces it like no other. Sometimes, a villain isn’t misunderstood; sometimes a villain is just a villain. And the Joker does “villain” with a style all his own. Required reading includes the Justice series (can you tell I like this series? I do.), the Dark Knight Returns, and, of course, The Killing Joke.

4. Superman

Honestly, I thought Supes would be higher on my list. He’s the first superhero and still, to me at least, one of the best. I realize most folks find him to be too powerful to be relatable, and there’s no small amount of validity to that point. But the best part of this character isn’t his ability to punch planets out of orbit or “leap tall buildings” or any of that. It’s his... well, his character. That middle-America farmer’s son upbringing, with its sense of right and wrong that has so seldom failed him, is what makes Superman more than just the Last Son of Krypton. To borrow from Kingdom Come, it’s the “man” more than the “super” that makes him special. It’s what makes him a symbol of virtue and excellence, a standard to which we can aspire. It’s Clark Kent, rather than Kal-El, that I want to be like. Some good reading includes the aforementioned Kingdom Come, The Superman/Batman Supergirl arc (this is actually a good Batman read, as well) and, you guessed it, Justice.

3. Hellboy

Sadly, this is the only non-Big-Two character on my list. For now. I’m just starting to branch out so future lists might have more.

Anyway, Hellboy makes the list because he isn’t what you’d expect him to be. The son of a major league demon and destined to bring about the apocalypse, he should be an earth-shattering villain. But he’s a hero because of his upbringing by a paranormal expert. Nurture triumphing over Nature. The monster as the hero. Also, he’s just a fun character and his stories are good stuff. Of particular note, mainly because this is what I’ve read, is the recent Hellboy and the BPRD 1950s series.

2. Rocket Raccoon

If you’ve read this far, this pick really shouldn’t surprise you. Sometimes, we want heroes to inspire us to be better people. Sometimes, we just want a raccoon with a big flarkkin’ gun. Rocket’s recent string of short series, both solo and with Groot, are just fun reading.

1. Hulk

This was the one pick I didn’t need to think about; Hulk was at Number One from the start. The concept of a super smart guy who turns into a raging monster when he loses his cool resonates with me on an intensely personal level. While he has had quite a few strange turns in his comics history, the big guy really came into his own during the Planet Hulk series, where he was shot into space by his best “friends” to a planet full of enemies and dangers that only the Hulk could survive. His development from monster to gladiator to fugitive to king, and then to vengeful conqueror in the following World War Hulk, is one of my favorite arcs in all of comics. Whether big and kind of dumb or big and super smart or somewhere in between like in the stories I’ve mentioned, Hulk is my Number One comic character of all time. At least until the next time.

So, that’s my list. But what’s a list like this without some honorable mentions?

Honorable Mentions:

12. Rorschach

This is the obligatory Watchmen pick. While I don’t like the story, I appreciate the historical impact it’s had on the comics industry. Rorschach is the only character that I can call anything close to a “good guy” despite his extreme homicidal tendencies. His refusal to go along with the alien invasion story covering Ozymandias’s murder of millions of people “so billions might live”, his refusal to accept the lesser evil, shows an integrity that is perhaps outdated but no less laudable for being outdated.

13. Renee Montoya/the Question

The first woman on this list and it’s neither Wonder Woman nor fan-favorite Kitty Pryde. Renee Montoya is, to me, a more interesting character than either, mostly because she’s very flawed. She’s rough around the edges; she drinks to excess; she has doubts about her abilities and her value as a detective. I gather most of this info from her run in DC’s 52 series, which is a great read on its own.

16. Lex Luthor

This guy.

This guy right here.

He’s the stereotypical “evil businessman” and yet he is so much more. A legit genius who inevitably uses that genius to fight petty grudges rather than help humanity reach claims potential like he claims to care about. Kingdom Come, Justice, you know the drill.

19. Iron Man

Some characters combine seriously cool abilities with personalities that are seriously hard to like. Iron Man is cool; Tony Stark is just an egomaniacal jerk. It’s also worth noting that Tony often has to use Iron Man (and the Avengers) to fix problems of his own making. He’s a great character, but he’s not a good one.

25. Deadpool

Because Wade was going to kill me if I didn’t put him somewhere on this list.

Seriously. He’s standing right next to me while I’m writing this.

Help me.

30. Death of the Endless

I’ve honestly only read one issue featuring Death, Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, #8. But that one issue is probably my favorite single comic issue ever. It’s stark, poignant, and beautiful. My list had 29 characters and I immediately thought of her for Number Thirty, but I’m sure she’ll move higher if I ever read any more of her stories.

Well, that’s all for now. I hope you enjoyed this strange trip through my comic book preferences. For real, to all who’ve gotten this far, I’d love to read your Top Ten. I find the reasons why different people like different characters fascinating.

Till next time, cheers, y’all!

Jason Todd/ Red Hood X Reader- Stalker From Another Universe (Part 3)

I’m so sorry for not posting!! A lot of stuff has been going on, but I’m back!!

Part 1 Part 2

“I wonder if I’m showing up in a comic book right now,” you said, staring out the apartment window. “That would be pretty cool.”

Jason laughed and joined you by the window, “Yeah, but how would they draw you? From what I’ve heard, you don’t like all of the styles they draw me in.”

You nodded, “It’s probably the dude that’s in charge of drawing Red Hood and The Outlaws.”

“He does get my good side,” he joked.

You snorted and nodded once again, your focus still on the beautiful horizon of Gotham. It had been two months since you magically appeared in Jason’s apartment, freaking both him and you out. After that fiasco, he called Roy to help you adjust to the weird universe you might be stuck in. None of the members of the Justice League called Jason to tell him they figured out how to send you back home, and you were starting to lose hope. It wasn’t that you didn’t enjoy spending time with Jason and Roy, but you worried for you family and friends. You worried that they might think you were kidnapped, killed or even sold in human trafficking. You shuddered at the thought.

“You cold?”

You looked over to Jason and shook your head, “I’m just worrying about my family right now. What if I’m stuck here, not that it would be horrible, and never see them again?”

“Then you’ll have to find a new family,” he responded. “I’m not saying to replace and forget them, but think about me and the rest of the kids Bruce took in. We had families before, but Bruce took us in after they were gone.”

“It’s just hard to think that I won’t see them again, even if I sometimes hate their guts. I guess you never truly know what people mean to you until they’re gone, huh?”

Jason sighed and scooted over to you, pulling you close, “Even if life seems like complete shit right now, it will get better.”

You nodded and cuddled into his side, “Just promise me something.”

“Depends what the promise is,” he said quietly.

“Promise me that…. I can meet Wonder Woman.”

“You are a complete dork,” Jason laughed.

“Hey! If I’m in the same universe as her, I want to meet her!”

“That can be arranged,” a deeper voice stated behind you, making you jump.

Jason tightened his arms around you and turned around. His grip loosened as soon as he recognized Bruce in the doorway.

“Didn’t Alfred teach you how to knock, Old man?” he asked Bruce and stood up. “I hope you’re here to tell us some good news.”

You tighten your grip on the blanket Jason gave you and also stood up, gaining Bruce’s attention. He held out his hand, which you took and shook it.

“It’s nice to finally meet you, (Y/N),” he said with a small smile.

“Likewise.”

“So did you find out if (Y/N) can go home?” Jason asked.

Bruce nodded, “I’ve spoken to all of the League members that have magical abilities and even Cyborg. Victor was unable to locate your universe and the other members had more unsettling news. They said that once you left your dimension, everything about you left with you. A very powerful being brought you here, and it wants you to stay. Every Time they tried to open a portal to your world, it would collapse in on itself. I’m sorry to say that you’re staying here until the being is either found or lets you go.”

You were frozen where you stood. Why would someone want you here? What could you possibly do for them that would somehow be their gain? You were normal, no superhuman abilities or skills like the Bat Family.

“There is something you also need to know,” Bruce continued.

“What is it?” you asked, trying to keep your voice from cracking.

“I need to take some blood samples to see if your DNA has changed,” Bruce replied. “We have no idea if this being altered you in any way, and it would better to be safe than sorry to know if this is true.”

You nodded, “Do you have the equipment you need to take the blood?”

Bruce nodded and gestured to a case that was resting on Jason’s table. You sighed and walked over to it, taking a seat and pulling your sleeve up.

“Just please get this over with,” you said and placed your arm on the table.

Jason gave Bruce a look and walked towards the kitchen, grabbing three mugs out of the cabinet and preparing drinks. You knew that he was worried. Whenever something got under his skin, he would find something to distract himself whether it was just reading a book or going on patrol. It was weird that you found out about some of his quirks, but this only made you fall even more for your favorite batboy.

“So, how has your stay here been?” Bruce asked while preparing the needle.

“It’s been really nice. Jason has a really nice book collection I like to devour whenever he’s gone,” you replied. “Roy stops by every now and then for movie nights.”

“Have you ever left the apartment?”

“Of course I have, they showed me around, took me to a couple restaurants and shopping. I can’t wear their clothes forever,” you responded, flinching slightly when you felt the needle pierce your skin.

“Would it be a bother if you came to the Manor?” Bruce asked while taking your blood.

“That depends on Jason, he’s the one I’m staying with.”

“I will ask him,” he said and carefully pulled the needle out.

“You all done?” Jason asked and handed you your mug.

“Yes,” Bruce responded and packed up all of his equipment. “I would also know if (Y/N) could stop by the manor, maybe show her around the Bat Cave and the results.”

Jason nodded, “As long as I’m there. I don’t want Demon Spawn to murder you.”

You chuckled and took another sip of your tea, receiving a smile from Bruce. He grabbed his case and walked to the exit.

“I’ll see you soon then. It was nice meeting you, (Y/N).”

“You, too,” you said and set the mug down.

Jason closed the door and looked over to you, “Are you okay?”

“As I have said before, Jason, I can deal with my emotions and control my inner fangirl.”

“What about when you meet Wonder Woman?”

“That’s debatable….”

DC Primer By Erza155 (for the absolute n00b

ok, before you even look at all of this, just know that this is all my personal opinion. just so you know

Movies

Live Action

Justice League- Awesome. Awesome. You’ve probably already seen it.

Wonder Woman- See above.

Man of Steel- The first time I actually found myself actually being interested in Superman. This movie pushed me to actually research into Superman and see something beyond the corn-fed all-American boy narrative idiotic fanboys have shoved down our gullets for the last few decades.

Suicide Squad- Bomb soundtrack. It’s weird but it’s worth a try. A few members of the Justice League make 3 second cameos.

Batman vs Superman- The movie that launched a thousand superbat shippers. I personally like the cinammonmatography, but a lot of people disagree but that’s them.

Superman (2006)- I’m not sure how I feel about this movie. But Brandon Routh is pretty. And Routh!Superman/Bale!Batman was pretty big for a while. But it’s rare to see that around anymore.

Cartoons

Superman vs the elite- Superman fights British dudes and goes crazy because of red kryptonite. People actually die because of Superman’s direct actions.

Justice League Animated Movies (2012-2017) Chronological Order

Justice League: Doom- Vandal Savage uses stolen information from Batman's secret files to mastermind a plan to exterminate the Justice League. That’s the plot. I actually don’t remember if I actually watched this movie? Make of that what you will.

Justice League: War- New 52 cartoon of the Justice League. This is how they come together in the new DC Universe. Has some casual Overlaps with the live action Justice League (2017) movie. Fun watch. Also, great banter between Green Lantern and Batman.

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox- Sadness. There’s a few moments of happiness, but this movie is fucking sad. It deals with what happens when you fuck with the timeline and it’s mcfucking weird. Now that the plebian opinion is out of the way, I personally loved this movie. It was so twisted and it made my tiny heart flutter.

Justice League: Throne of Atlantis- Atlanteans are coming for you bitches and Batman is not happy. ™

Justice League: Gods and Monsters- AU version of justice league. It’s bomb. It’s like Injustice and Justice Lords but with Vampires!

Justice League vs Teen Titans- Exactly what it says on the cereal box with additional prizes on the inside. But, this is the new teen titans led by my favorite brat, Damian Wayne.

Justice League: Dark- Magic! Adventure! Gambling with demons! Sassy Batman. This movie is coming for your wig. Be prepared. It’s awesome and I love it. But then again, I’m a slut for DC.

Batman Movies

Batman: The Killing Joke- This one is weird. Read the original comic book instead.

Batman: Assault on Arkham- Suicide Squad, The Cartoon!

Batman: Gotham Knight- Apparently if you liked the Dark Knight Trilogy, this is the movie for you. It fills in the blanks for certain spots that the movies don’t touch and it has an interesting animation style.

(There’s a bunch more but I don’t exactly have high opinions of those, so yeah…)

Batman Has Problems with his Children/ Batman’s Problematic Children

Batman: Under the Red Hood- Jason Todd (Robin #2) comes back from the dead and kicks ass. Additional awesomeness in that Jason Todd is voiced by Jensen Ackles.

Son of Batman (2014)/ Batman vs Robin (2015)/ Batman: Bad Blood (2016)- Damian Wayne trilogy. If you like hyperviolent, bratty children who learn to come to terms with themselves, this is the movie for you. If not, oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Batman and Superman Are Totally Super Manly Men Who Work Well Together

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies- Batman and Superman work together to stop Lex Luthor and a meteorite. I don’t remember watching this.

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse- Direct sequel to the above but can function as a stand-alone. Batman and Superman go to another planet. Wonder Woman and the Amazons are awesome. Big Barda reminds me once again that I am Gay™ for strong women. Supergirl is introduced.

TV Shows

Live Action

Smallville- The original. This baby ran for an actual fucking decade. And every live action superhero show that is currently airing in the U.S. needs to thank this show because it’s what started the whole phase.

Arrow- This show is about Green Arrow and a lot of people like it. I think I gave up somewhere between seasons 2 and 3. It wasn’t my cup of tea. The reason I’m mentioning it is because, it actually started an entire spinoff universe known as the arrow verse and every year there’s a really big crossover that gives lots of nerds boners. (me included)

The Flash- Spinoff of the Arrow? But it’s about the Flash. It’s #2 in the arrow verse. It’s interesting and I love it. They made Iris West black and I was here for it. Candice Patton is amazing, and each season only gets better. The more characters they add, the happier I am. Although, I do bitch sometimes. (I have never been satisfied- Hamilton)

Legends of Tomorrow- Spinoff of The Arrow and The Flash. Secondary characters from both shows come together in this show and travel through time. It’s beautiful. Like it’s actually really great. Please watch it. Also #3 of the Arrow Verse.

Supergirl- 1st season was by CBS and is currently the only season I’ve watched. It was pretty decent but it took a lot of Superman’s villains and transplanted them to Supergirl’s story. Also, Tyler Hoechlin played Superman in this show for a hot minute. People liked it. I try not to think about it too much. #4 in the arrow verse.

Arrow Verse Wiki for more info

Additionally, the DCEU has a bunch of extensive shows that do not relate to superheroes like Lucifer, Izombie, and Preacher. ← All of which are awesome shows with supernatural aspects by the way.

Cartoons (In no Particular Order)

Young Justice- Babies. Beautiful Babies. Season 3 is supposed to come out this year and I would sell my grandmother to salt mines just for an early peek.

Static Shock- Cartoon with a young black protagonist? Sign the fuck up! This show was my shit! It’s honestly really awesome and positive.

Teen Titans- You already know.

Batman the Brave and the Bold- Classic. Timeless. There’s not enough space or time. This show introduced me to Plastic Man and I would die for this show. And this version of Batman is honestly just amazing and everyone in this show is amazing. I love it.

Justice League- Ok so the original show is awesome but I don’t care if you watch it or not. The only thing I care about is that you watch the specific episodes I am going to list.

Episode #37- Season 2 Episode 11 “A Better World Part 1”

Episode #38- Season 2 Episode 12 “A Better World Part 2”

These two episodes are my shit. Please watch it. I’ve watched these specific episodes so many times. Just please.

Batman Beyond- Bruce Wayne is old and there is a new young Batman. This show is weird, but the interesting kind of weird. It wasn’t my cup of tea, but I didn’t hate it. Some of the episodes were actually gold though. Harley Quinn has twin Granddaughters.

Video Games

You’re asking the wrong person sorry. The only video game I care about is Injustice and I only watch the playthroughs for the Lore (animated version).

Comics

Personal Faves:

· DC Bombshells

· Gotham City Sirens

· Injustice

· Red Hood and the Outlaws

· Earth One series

New 52 vs Golden Age vs silver Age

Ok, so unfortunately, comics are weird. Like really fucking weird.

This is the Timeline you need to remember in regards to DC specifically

Golden Age- 1930s to 1950s. Comic books were first being published. Batman was a caricature, and used guns. Superman fought the KKK.

Silver Age- mid 1950s to 1970s. Post World War 2. Introduced new heroes like the Flash. Parallel Universes introduced.

Bronze Age- 1970 to 1985. Teen superheroes are now an established thing. Also, DC fucked up a lot but these times are past

Modern Age- Hi! It’s your buddies dark and gritty storylines. Anything from 1985 until now falls into this era/age.

New 52- 2011 relaunch by DC. Introduced new canon and fucked all of us up.

Rebirth- 2016 relaunch. Once again, fucked all of us up.

Pick and choose what you want. It’s what we’re all doing.

If you want an additional document for shipping, please inform me.
