I Mean...apparently The Gaonas Exist In The DCU, So You Wouldn’t Be The First Person To Reference Real

MYTHOLOGY MEME

1/1 Mythology: Irish

Rose went away

So the Doctor was blue.

Ask Donna, “Where’s the Doctor?”

She’ll reply, “Doctor Who?”

Sarah Jane, and Martha,

And now both the Ponds

Had their fun with the Doctor

And now they’ve all gone.

So ask me again

Why the TARDIS is blue:

There’s a sad man inside

With both hearts torn in two.

Dick Grayson Comics Timeline

Alright upon request (and after much compiling) I’m finally done with this pre New 52, fully referenced, Dick Grayson timeline @chestnutcats. It’s super long, so a short version here:

Parents die; becomes Bruce’s ward & Robin. Age: somewhere from 8-13, but usually on the younger end of that scale

Forms Teen Titans. Age: …teen?

(Barbara becomes Batgirl. Could be swapped with the above.)

Teen Titans split up. Age: <=18

Goes to college. Drops out of college. Age: college.

New Teen Titans form in NYC. Age: 19ish

Fired as Robin. No longer taking to Bruce. Fully living in NYC with the Titans, if he wasn’t already. Becomes Nightwing. (Jason becomes Robin.) Age: 19; Jason is 12

(Barbara shot. Jason killed. Tim becomes Robin. Talking to Bruce again. Age: 19 + however long Jason was Robin, so maybe 22. Tim is 13. Does Tim’s backstory make sense if he’s 9 years younger than Dick? Probably not, but writers don’t do math!)

New Teen Titans split up. Age: early 20s

Chillin’ as Nightwing, location unknown

Briefly Batman, with Robin Tim. Age: 20s, and age no longer matters. Tim is 14 or maybe 15, and the only hope we have of keeping the years straight.

Chillin’ as Nightwing, pt 2

Moves to Bludhaven. Helps out when things ultra-suck in Gotham.

Titans re-form.

(Gotham ultra-sucks for a while because Earthquakes and Government. Cass becomes Batgirl.)

Officially adopted by Bruce.

Titans split up. Reluctantly joins the Outsiders.

Everything Is Very Bad. Age: Tim is 16 by now, but comic book math is whatever you want it to be, and you needn’t be beholden to things like “numbers.” Dick is in his 20s, as he will be forever.

(Tim has to quit Robin; Steph becomes Robin; Steph fired; Tim Robin again; Steph “dies”.)

Jason returns, and then vanishes again.

The universe kind of explodes and then un-explodes. Bludhaven explodes and remains exploded. (Age: Tim is still 16, but eons have passed.)

Bruce & Dick & Tim go travelling for a year because fuck it.

Moves to NYC again. (Tim adopted. Damian first introduced. Age: Tim logically must be 17, and Dick is logically in his mid 20s, but logic never helped anyone.)

Leaves Outsiders.

Titans re-re-form.

(Steph returns, revealed to be not dead. Cass adopted.)

Leaves Titans.

Universe explodes again. Bruce (apparently) dies.

nananananana BATMAN (ft Damian as Robin). Tim off as Red Robin. Jason causing mayhem. Age: just about the same age Bruce was when he met Dick, and ain’t that a trip

Bruce returns.

The long version is under the cut, and by long version, I mean like 20 pages which is…possibly more than you wanted and surely more than you expected, but here we are.

This is half timeline, half reading list. The comics referenced here have occasional notes based on quality, but they’re mostly chosen based on giving you the major points and the best understanding of continuity. This is all firmly pre-flashpoint, because I Do Not Know the new52 or anything beyond, and also comes with the disclaimer that my chronological read-through has only reached 2009 and so the last section of this is suddenly a lot less thorough than the rest.

If anyone reading this wants more detail on any bit of it (whether specific comics and issues, timelines, character relationships, or what have you), or more info on a different character, I am happy to answer questions!!

If read mores don’t work for you, a person seeing this post…I am so sorry and just start scrolling.

i had a joke about orpheus and eurydice but looking back it wasn't a good idea

The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent’s King by placing it under threat of capture which cannot be avoided.
