Bruce And Jason Are Like "Joker Is The Embodiment Of Evil." Meanwhile Duke And Barbara Are Like "Joker

don't make me a killer!

Ever be having a good day and then you remember when Pony really starts to think about Randy as another person. How his best friend was killed - how a person would react to that

How he thinks of Soda and Steve who were best friends since practically diapers. Soda would want to stop fighting but Steve would only fight with more hatred — we can only imagine how Bob would be but likely even worse.

I find it really funny that people take a panel out of any comic to say "see?? X is not like fanon says, actually he is like this". Bestie, the first thing I've learned from DC is that canon's fucked. Not in the sense that it's bad (sometimes it is), but in the sense that is inconsistent at best.

I'm talking about Batfam right now, so the thing is people want to say x or y robin was the chaotic one and... They all are. They all are very polite or absolute menaces. And It's a staple of the genre. Obviously if you read Tim's run as robin or his comics you're gonna get the impression that he is the main character. Just the coolest, most nuanced, goes through every single event ever kind of character. But if you read Dick's comics...surprise! He is also the smartest coolest funniest robin ever. And omg isn't Jason traumatized when you read his story? But also isn't Steph even more so? Or Cass?

Jason's og backstory was so similar to Dick's they had to change it. Like sure they give each robin/batfam their own traits and backstory, but they also end up with really similar abilities/going through similar events a lot of the time. And personality wise it's not much better because you would think that's one of the things they'd want to keep stable but no.

Tim swings wildly between Batman's most obedient good little soldier and feral child that lies to his face. The evolution sometimes is non existent or not coherent with the plot but that's because a new writer picked it up and he doesn't want to focus on that. Even their unique characteristics get fucked around in canon. Paraphrasing "the characters will do what the writer wants them to do".

If you're afraid of misrepresenting the character I would fall back on these core traits and build up from them. As long as you keep that in mind it's gonna be more canon compliant than some parts of canon. I'm also big on "let people fuck around with fanon" because truly, I might hate some interpretations of the characters...but it's not like it's canon. That's someone playing dolls with a comic character, who cares? I say let them. Simply don't engage if you dislike it.

yesterdays warmup ^_^

You cannot, in any way, tell me they are not soulmates.

Jondami is the definition of "I love you in every universe."

Like look at them, they are with each other in every shape and form.

petition for tim to steal inherit more of jason's identities since he already got robin and red robin from him

when your personality doesn’t match your aesthetic

The movies portraying Batman as a morally grey and dark character is so funny to me because one of the main central conflicts of Arkham Knight is that Batman is spiraling and believes he is becoming what he fears

because he IMAGINED killing Joker.

ONCE.

After being infected by Joker’s blood and after being poisoned by fear toxin. That’s what it took for him to even IMAGINE killing someone who has ruined his and other people’s lives and whose death would be justified in every conceivable way. He is so morally righteous he cannot even bear to imagine killing people, let alone doing it.

In comparison, the local “cinnamon roll” Spider-Man has actively tried murdering people many times

I love how Spider-man and Deadpool usually disagree on most things, but when they finally agree on one thing, they become huge enablers of each other's behavior

Band AU but Fleetwood Mac style where the entire band consists of the bitchest and pettiest exes possible and then there’s that one character in the corner who just wants to make cool music with his friends

genuinely starting to believe my theory that being handed 'Batman' or 'Amazing Spider-man' makes even the best writers go insane with power and instantly start producing mid to terrible stories for the duration of their run
