the fanon that dick was awful to his successors — being abusive to jason or mean to tim — is very funny to me because he categorically handled being replaced better than either of them did

The human heating pad

What do you think of people saying Tim should be Nightwing after Dick

controversial take — i think the only person who should be nightwing after dick is chris kent. robin is a mantle that was never supposed to be a mantle, and was transformed from dick’s family legacy to something else beyond his control. i don’t think his different aliases should be a testing ground for successive heroes. it’s boring. come up with some new ideas

tim has like….. terminal copycat syndrome. the only two original ideas he’s come up with are mr sarcastic and drake (derogatory). narratively, he desperately needs a win. leaving robin behind was an important part of his character arc, and now we’re stuck in the limbo of dc being too afraid to turn him eighteen, and too pussy shit to do anything remotely interesting. let him be rook! or cardinal! let him go to college and kiss boys! the yj generation growing up to create their own identities would be good storytelling and distinguish them from the titans

damian shouldn’t be nightwing either for the same reason as he shouldn’t be batman— an important part of his character is a rejection of fate and destiny, and the forging of one’s own path. he should become his own thing, his own person! we must shed the need to make every batman character step into the boots of another. he also shouldn’t be flamebird btw.

that scene from Invincible but it’s Batman and Nightwing
