Need To Talk About The Brad Meltzer’s And Rags Morales’ Commentary At The End Of Identity Crisis

SCREAM that 1 panel of dick on a fire escape sleeping under newspaper but instead it’s the page of side effects that comes w hormonal birth control

yknow what annoys me about fanon, that Tim and Dick had ONE serious argument and suddenly they both hate each other somehow? Like, come on, that's Dicks little brother, and that's Tim Big bro, and his superhero.

And even then, in Red Robin we see Tim still being close as heck, they both love and respect each other despite their differences.

ITS LITERALLY IN THE COMIC THAT TIM DOESNT HAVE A CONTINGENCY FOR DICK BECAUSE HE WOULD NEVER HURT OR BETRAY TIM!!! LIKE COME ON

happy fresh out the can friday sunday!!

I actually think the worst thing to happen to Dick Grayson was that his parents died in New Jersey cause then that poor son of a bitch was stuck there

forget “this meeting could’ve been an email” this four-way stop could’ve been a traffic light

alfred is mom-coded canon

The real reason Tim has such a hatred for Damian is that Alfred refused to let him keep his cat but Damian gets a whole ass zoo

This !!!!

I feel like a lot of this comes from people who are uncomfortable with the whole “child soldier” concept and try to make it Less Bad by aging them up. But at the end of the day, Robin was designed as a vessel for child readers to imagine themselves as Batman’s sidekick. The whole concept of Superheroes is so impossibly ludicrous in the first place, I don’t think it’s necessary to try to apply real life morals to Every Single Situation. Let the nine year old fight crime in a silly outfit! It’s fiction!

i don’t really fuck with people making robin (any of them, really) much older then they were originally when they were introduced. ofc comics are sometimes vague about that sort of thing, but dick turned eight already living in wayne manor, so it feels weird when we have him start being robin at any older than 10. it cuts his time short when it was the longest period of batman history and also takes away the key factor that explains his actions and thought process as a child

time in comics is different than the real world, obviously, but we NEED to try and translate some of the irl context into the stories. a reader can’t understand the weight of dick needing to get out of batman’s shadow after being his sidekick for decades if in universe he was there for 3 years at best
