Grey--scales - Nikki

As much as I love the movie, they really shouldn’t have named the child character Cassandra Cain. I understand why they did, I really do. But come on.

Firstly, because the character is kind of a mix of Stephanie Brown and Jason Todd. They should have either gone with Stephanie or said fuck it and used them both. 

Secondly, racebending is a thing, the thing they actually have already done. In the movie. 

Thirdly, Black Mask gets exploded. Like, fucking finally. Batman stories almost always end with the villain committing atrocities yet they still live to keep committing atrocities in the next issue, and after everything the audience has been through for decades, it felt great to see Black Mask die. And on a meta level, Stephanie and Jason are THE two characters who deserve to see him blown to bloody pieces. It would have been even more cathartic for us to see him die trying to kill Stephanie. 

Fourthly (is… is that a word? I’m kind of feverish right now, and typing real slowly), imagine Stephanie later dying her hair blond as an homage to Harley, her mentor and guardian in the movie-verse. This way you can have a blond Stephanie just like the nitpickers would say they wanted to AND some found family cuteness.

Fifthly (fuck it, English ain’t hard, but making coherent points is), imagine Bruce Wayne meeting this Stephanie (and Jason if you decided to add him after all), and Stephanie goes ‘I know a Bruce. And you’re not even half as nice as he is.’ And then Bruce finds out she was talking about Bruce the Hyena.

Destined only to be moths Riding on the backs of giants I was not drawn to you Because our wings are both blue But because they are the same Colour as everyone else’s And you were willing to listen To why that scared me.

A babysitter's guide to the bats: by Jason Todd

If, for any reason, I am not in Gotham, here's what you will need to know to keep the local bat population from killing themselves off.

Tim has to be fed and watered daily.

Do not leave Cass alone for more than 36 hours, you might find half the world's governments systematically dispatched if you do.

Damian needs to be hugged at least once every two days. He will not ask for these hugs, but Robin starts getting real close to murder if he doesn't get affection, and a murdery Robin is something Bruce and Tim cannot deal with right now.

Bruce can hypothetically take care of himself, but won't unless it's easy. Make sure the cave is stocked up on energy bars and protein shakes. He likes dark chocolate best.

Do not let Dick forget to sleep. He gets acrobat-y when tired, and if he breaks one more chandelier Alfred might actually quit.

Cass forgets to eat real food sometimes. She can no longer survive off tree bark, but will try anyway. Leave some blackberries outside her room or on the bench below the maple tree in the back and she will eat those instead.

Make sure Steph spends time with Alfred. They both get lonely without their bi-weekly tea and gossip hour.

DO NOT LET DUKE RUN MISSIONS. HE FORGETS THAT THE REST OF THE TEAM IS MORTAL.

Keep an eye on Babs, she has the means to dismantle every intelligence agency in the U.S. and is very close to finding a motive.

Sometimes Bruce and Tim forget that they run a company. Makes sure they read their emails every once in a while, the board is ruthless and can smell weakness.

Tim is allergic to walnuts. He doesn't remember this. There is an EpiPen in the hall closet.

The no-metas-in-Gotham rule does not extend to Diana Prince. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. You couldn't actually get rid of her if you tried. There is no Wonder Woman contingency plan. Don't look for it.

Titus has to be fed while Damian is at school.

Always make sure Red Robin has his third backup rebreather. He's recently decided he has a deathwish.

Batcow is NOT allowed in the manor. If Damian tries to convince you she is, he is lying.
