I always have incredibly mixed feelings when it comes to people depicting Cass as a dancer. On one hand, I think that its a really cool way for her to express herself through movement in a way that is not born of violence.

BUT the idea that The Cassandra Cain would take a lesson or join a class is crazy. If girlie is dancing there is no way she's being told how to do it by someone else, or learning choreography.

I think that we as a society need to remember that Cass thinks she can do anything, with no training or preparation, and 99% of the time she can.

I had a vision, you see. Because I believe deep in my heart that Cass, being a smug little shit, would be extremely annoying the minute she learned this phrase.

sorry for saying that to be a comic fan you have to actually read comics. its because i believe it.

why did they stop putting internal/interpersonal conflicts in comics. why does everyone speak as if they’ve been going to therapy for a decade. why is no one allowed to be messy and complicated anymore.

My Adventures with Superman — "Adventures with My Girlfriend"

Huffing and puffing because someone was miffed about how Watters wrote Dick because Dick sounded "too much like Jason." The person was used to the happy, upbeat version of Dick's personality that people like TT have written. And then the person said that even if Dick's personality was more "Jason-like" originally, we didn't need another one of those personalities now since Jason and Damian already fill that personality role.

That literally makes me want to grow chest hair just so I can rip it off in a rage. It reminds me of similar shit that came out when Titans aired. "Oh Dick said 'Fuck Batman' but that's totally a Jason thing!" Like no!! The problem is you don't understand Dick's character!

bruce & jason should never be able to fully reconcile. things should never go back to the way they were between them. there will never be that level of trust between them again. its ruined. they desparately wish for it to be different because at one point there was nothing bruce wanted more than to have jason back. because at one point bruce was jason's world. the love is still there but its mangled. theyre stuck in a loop of loving each other but never enough to truly to see each other. theres too much between them to be brushed under the rug just like that. do you. understand. things would be so much easier if they loved each other less.

Clark seeing his son fall in love with Damian has got to be one of the most dreadful periods of his life. Then he sees them get two different sandwiches and switch half of them and realizes he and Lois do that at lunch sometimes too, then it isn’t so bad.

Then he sees Jon punch Damian in the face with Damian returning it ten fold and thinks letting this relationship foster was the one of the worst decision he’s made.

But when Jon gets injured, Damian lays in his hospital bed, suit in all, combat boots on the stark white bed sheets and thinks he doesn’t know what to think.

He knows they love each other. He knows his son is too reckless for his own good. He knows Damian has known unfathomable violence. He knows his son has things he can never share.

It seems cosmic to him. Like a car crash you can’t look away from, except the wreck never comes. At least, not in the way he expects.

There’s no bloodshed or battle or crazy world altering event. It’s all so mundane that Clark almost feels ridiculous.

His son is worried about the right gift to get Damian just as much as he is about Damian getting himself killed in space. And Clark realizes he’s completely out of his depth trying to understand this relationship.

They’re not Superman and Batman, they’re not dashing reporter and superhero alien. Damian is just as likely to throw a brick at Jon’s head as he is to kiss him. Clark’s wife is apart of him, his other half. He wonders if sometimes Jon and Damian are more than just half of each other.

He watches them throw themselves at the couch and argue over what to watch and thinks maybe he’s blowing it way out of proportion. Who knows. But if all of this does explode in his son’s face, he knows exactly what he’ll do. That’s what he does understand. That he loves his son more than anything.

media literacy would automatically go up 100% if people knew how to consume stories without self-inserting themselves into the characters' shoes. "if i were him..." you're NOT. you may relate to his story, his past, his traits, his quirks, his identity but the moment you start treating the story accepting what you feel/think as what the character feels/thinks, you're misunderstanding the story.

Amazing how embarrassed I get whenever I get into something popular... like yeah :/.... I like this ip that makes millions or something every year.... it's really popular and most everyone has heard of it casually.... I'm so ashamed... kicks a pebble or something.

fanfic has really rotted peoples' brains because Babs and Steph are not part of the Wayne family. They have their own parents, their own families, and their own homes. Bruce is not their father, they don't live with him, and frankly they don't even get along with him most of the time! They work with him, they might mooch off his money occasionally, and they might (or might not) be dating one of Bruce's actual kids, but that does not make them Bruce's kids!

You don't understand how important to me it is that Dick and Jason both wore the original Robin suit, panties and all. Firstly, it heavily plays into the themes found with Jason's time as Robin (he fells like he's replacing Dick) bc he's literally wearing Dick's suit. And then when Jason dies, so too does Robin. The suit is retired, and even when Tim steps in, the suit is redesigned to be more protective than Jason's. So when I see images of Dick and/or Jason wearing a "more protective" suit, I am just reminded that the point of Tim's suit (pants with a black cape exterior) is to show how Bruce has changed how he handles sidekicks.

It is also very funny to think of Dick as 19 and wearing his panties Robin suit. I probably should've started with this.
