Personally, I think Dick wins
DC Super-Heroes by Simone Di Meo.
I don't know what you're on Dick with this "I can't let you join the Bat-family" crap.
They look like the batfam to me
That's cold man
I LOVE IT WHEN FRIENDS ARE LIKE, "Would you stay on the sidelines in my place? No? Well, then I'm going, and Dick can just deal with it." Dick Grayson's disapproval is pretty powerful, but also they were with him when he was still in shortpants, they're not scared of his disapproval. Which makes me laugh SO HARD because Dick really did turn into his dad, he works so hard to be Disapproving Of Other People's Shenanigans While Engaging In Even More Reckless Shenanigans and the Titans, much like every single one of Bruce's kids, are NOT buying it, fuck off, Dick, GOD CAN'T STOP ME AND NEITHER CAN YOU. (Dick sighs in resignation and thinks how he will never complain to Bruce about this, because he's 99% sure Bruce wouldn't laugh in his face, he doesn't really do that, but that 1% would just break Dick if it DID happen.)
OMG, THESE ARE SO ADORABLE
Am I the only one who finds it funny how everyone has some type of fighting stance and then you look over to Wally and he's just running straight at a werewolf looking dude like a bull?
Look at Wally pouting and being annoyed in the corner

RIP to Flash
First off, I have to say I love this.
Alfred never change who you are. You put that boy in his place like he deserves to be 😌
Secondly, wtf is it with dc writers hating Flash? 😭
They could of just had him move Alfred slightly to the right or left. He's the FLASH ffs. He could do a whole open heart surgery AND go out to eat before Bruce actually managed to get close enough to hurt Alfred
Can we all take a moment to appreciate just how much Barry knows about his powers. Like, it's crucial for someone with the type of power levels he has to understand, not abuse, and have control of his powers, and I feel like that's not given enough attention.
Take this, for example, when Wally loses control of his powers in Heroes-in-Crisis. He was so overcome by the grief of loosing his kids, his family, of feeling alone, that he just couldn’t hold on any longer and in a moment of weakness he let go of the control he had on the speedforce, resulting in him accidently killing Arsenal, Blue Jay, Commander Steel, Hot Spot, Lagoon Boy, Gunfire, Red Devil, Gnarrk, Nemesis, Protector, Solstice, Tattooed Man, and Poison Ivy. All of them not only were heroes who (for some) were once Wally's teammates, but they were his friends.
He just couldn't keep control of the power he was gifted, and it resulted in him killing those he loved. And that's something that needs to be acknowledged and understood.
And this isn't some newbie speedster whos just learning the ropes of their powers. Wally even says it himself, he's been doing this since he was a 𝘬𝘪𝘥, and he still lost control.
I feel like most people don't understand that being a speedster isn't just about being fast or being the lovable goofball who's smart but stupid at the same time, but about being in control and being accepting.
I get people who read the comics mostly do or have a vague understanding, but those who just know of the flash through the movies or shows or just from general knowledge just don't seem to understand how crucial it is for speedsters to know how to use their powers.
Like when Barry made Flashpoint to save his parents. He abused his power, and it resulted in everything he loved crumbling around him and never being exactly the same.
A phrase I really like from The Flash Cw show that explains this is, "See this coffee cup right here? Think of it as the space-time-continuum. Whenever you go back in time, it breaks. Now... you can reset the timeline, you can try to fix it, but no matter how hard you try... it's never gonna be exactly how it was. " when Jay explained to Barry why he couldn't just change the timeline for his personal benefit.
Speedsters aren't gods, their people, who, for whatever reason, were given extraordinary abilities. Abilities that at times do seem to rival that of the gods. And some speedsters realize that and decide to take advantage.
A prime example is Eobard Thawne when he was unable to let go of his vendetta, and decided to destroy Barry's life by changing the past and the future. Aka, killing Barry's mom, Nora.
This led to Barry's father, Henry, to be falsely accused and sentenced for the crime, leaving Barry without his parents.
There are plenty of other times where Eobard used his powers to change the timeline like Barry did, and make himself the hero and Barry be the villain, or even times where he made the world think 𝘩𝘦 was Barry, and so on. The same can be said for the other speedster rogues like God Speed and Zoom and so on that abuse the speedforce for their own personal gain, and that's a prime testament to how important it is for speedsters to not abuse their powers.
I mean, they can literally rewrite history.
Not to mention, Barry literally outran death itself. Like, wtf. Thats not something you just 𝘥𝘰.
Speedster's are even wanted by God's, which says a lot.
So, yeah. Let's just appreciate how much Barry knows about his powers and how he decides not to just erase whatever tf he wants about the timeline.
Love how Garth and Raven were having a moment, and Wally was just like, "Let me add in my own incy wincy tiny comment that ruins it >:)"
I read comics and rant about them -speedster and batfam Central- because all my friends just can't seem to understand the absolute power they hold over me.
