BatFam as things my family has said

Bruce: You tell me about your dream about rats in detail but not about a man following you on your walk?

Selina: You ruined my day and the corpse's buried beneath me!

Alfred: Build a Bear and get over it.

Dick: Are you ok? You usually laugh when I take my pants off.

Jason: I almost hit that guy. I forgot what I was doing. I thought I was playing a game where you're supposed to hit people with your car.

Tim: Do you think it means something that whenever I played Lego Star Wars as a kid, I used to just kill myself over & over?

Cass: I met Christopher Walken once. But by the time I got to him, he had already turned back into a skeleton.

Duke: Holy cow in Heaven!

Damian: God damn motherfucker. I have the hiccups. I hate this life that I have. Everything is wrong.

Steph: Why aren't we Monster Mashing right now? *Crashes car*

Barbara: I can't delete my blog, I just reblogged the Money Dog!

Hey, if you LOVE talking about the Batfamily, I would really appreciate it if someone felt like giving me a run down on each character’s personality/background?? 

I know it’s a lot to ask but I’m very new to this and I desperately want to write for them but I don’t want to get any of their characterizations wrong!

I really want to write Batman fics with a Stephen King sort of vibe……………

Hey, does anyone have any quotes by Batman/Bruce from the comics about the topic of rehabilitation, mental health, and/or his no-kill rule? This would really help me out!

I’m writing an article that has something to do with these topics & Batman, so I was wondering if y’all could point me in the direction of some of the comics/graphic novels which focus heavily on; Mental Health, Rehabilitation, or Gotham’s treatment of those w/ Mental Illness? Those topics and anything of that sort! I would really appreciate it!! Thank you!!

Batfam as random music descriptors

Bruce: Cries every time James Taylor plays.

Selina: Has a beautiful, effortless singing voice that she never utilizes.

Alfred: Plays James Taylor all the time.

Dick: ALWAYS air-drums along to the drum solo from 'In the Air Tonight' by Phil Collins. ALWAYS!

Jason: Sings along to every song on the radio despite not knowing any of the words.

Tim: Thinks he can hit high notes but absolutely can NOT. Don't let him listen to the Bee Gees.

Cass: Makes up a dance to every song in her head and aches to perform it.

Duke: Emotionally connects to breakup songs and passionately sings along despite never actually going through anything similar.

Damian: Has a RAGE playlist that more often than not, he ends up crying to.

Steph: Loves to fight people to the beat of whatever song she is listening to.

Barbara: Has a playlist called 'Songs to SCREAM to!!!!!'

That Tik-Tok trend that’s like: "I was nice to the weird boy once and now he’s my boyfriend.” (And all of the variations of that) 

BUT It’s Tim making the video with the caption: “I was nice to the weird conspiracy theory kid in High School and now he’s my boyfriend.” And the background video is just Bernard showing off his latest theory on a whiteboard with A LOT of excitement.

Haven't read too many of them myself but if you're looking for comics with a heavy focus on Gotham's treatment of the mentally ill and rehabilitation then some of Harley Quinn's solo stuff might be of use? Given that she was a psychologist at Arkham and has been trying to slowly redeem herself after being trapped in an abusive relationship herself I think it touches on some of the themes you're referring to.

If you're exploring more about how the city's social care system functions, it may be worth exploring how Arkham is simultaneously used as a hospital for the criminally insane and a holding prison for enhanced prisoners who are deemed too dangerous to be held in Blackgate. I've heard people point out how characters like Poison Ivy for example aren't really crazy at all, but Jason Todd is probably the best example of this.

During Dick Grayson's run as Batman after Battle For The Cowl, Jason really embraced the roll of supervillain. When Dick got him arrested he was thrown in Arkham despite passing all of the psychological tests. Unlike Ivy, Jason's not even really enhanced. Some minor side effects from the Lazarus Pit aside, he's human. Traumatised, but high functioning and definitely not criminally insane. He was eventually moved to a regular prison because they legitimately couldn't justify holding him there anymore, but after killing a bunch of inmates they sent him right back.

Most depictions I've seen of Arkham make it seem like hell on Earth. Doesn't exactly bode well for Gotham's rehabilitation scheme.

Thank you so so so so so so so much!!! You're amazing! This is really going to help me out and I truly appreciate it because I'm working very hard on this particular article!!!

You've helped me greatly! Thank you!!!!
