I Don’t Think People Who Don’t Read Comics/mostly Read Wfa Understand How Much Of A Dweeb Tim Drake

I’ve seen the panel of Tim using his cape to wipe his mouth go around before, but never the rest of it where Dick passes him a napkin from Alfred without even looking in what is truly peak eldest daughter fashion

Shoutout to the Jason Todd haters c.1988 they are everything to me <33

***Not a Jason Todd hater but I liked this one a lot too. Surprisingly insightful compared to most of the other takes

Dear Editor,

Don’t make a big fuss about Robin getting killed. Waste him, bury him, and get on to important things. Bruce and Dick Grayson should have been a team the whole time. Robin was a wimp. Don’t expect us to get all worked up. After you butchered Supergirl, we don’t care if there is a holocaust of all the DC heroes.

Life is cheap!

Dear Denny,

I heard some of what you are planning for “A Death in the Family” story line, including the phone-in number wrinkle and I didn’t want to take any chances whatsoever.

Kill him.

Your pal,

Dear Denny and Dan,

BATMAN #124 was important. I don’t think Felipe slipped. I don’t think anyone does. Yes, he probably deserved to die, but that really doesn’t matter, does it?

Jason has some thinking to do. If he lives, that is. If it turns out you decide to kill him, get a new Robin. I know a lot of people want Batman solo, but if he stays a brooding avenger forever, he’ll crack. He needs Robin. I’m not sure if that Robin is Jason, but Batman needs someone.

Sincerely,

The fact that edgeworth’s office is on the 12th floor will never not be funny to me. There’s no way girlypop’s taking the elevator so is he like?? Just walking up and down 12 flights of stairs everyday ???

dc pride (2023) - hey, stranger

everybody say happy birthday to dick grayson!

Do NOT ever talk about Jack Drake always being a bad father I am dying on this hill when I say most of his appearances since being kidnapped in knightquest was him learning how to be a real father to Tim

I think accepting Bruce is raising an army of child soldiers is a necessary aspect of the suspension of disbelief needed to enjoy the series where a grown man dresses as a bat and fights clowns

I know Jason’s literary tastes is the thing everyone likes to talk about, but what about Tim? I think he should be allowed to be a little bitch about the books he reads. He read The Catcher in the Rye and idolized Holden Caulfield. He sticks his copy of The Outsiders out of the back of his jean pocket so that everyone knows he’s reading it. It took him seven months to finish The Bell Jar. What he reads is solely dictated by the NJ Board of Education.

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

Cassie they took your butch away... It's okay, we'll get it back... Trust me... It's gonna be alright...
