Nightwing Is Not A Retired Crashout. He's Just A Crashout On Hold.

god I fucking love strawberries

Dick takes Cass and Step dress shopping before a gala. Cass notices Dick looking longingly at this one navy dress.

The next day Dick wakes to find the dress hanging in his closet.

Dicks nervous, buts puts it on. He puts on his dress shoes and walks out of his room. Bruce stares at him for a minute.

Bruce: I think you need to change…

Dick (panicking): Oh yeah I can totally change, I’ll wear something more appropriate.

Bruce (steps forward and puts a hand on Dick’s shoulder): I think you need to change the shoes. The black dress shoes don’t match the dress. Sorry chum I didn’t mean to scare you. Clothes have no gender. I would never love you any less no matter how you dress.

Dick: You mean it?

Bruce: Yes. Now come one I have a pair of flats and heels that would go prefect with that dress. And you can wear one of my mother’s necklaces.

do you ever think about how if you dive into the ocean and go deeper and deeper you will pass through layers of darker and darker blue until everything is black and cold and the pressure will be so intense that it will kill you without protection but if you keep going you will find little glowing specks of light, and if you go up into the sky and go higher and higher you will pass through layers of darker and darker blue until everything is black and cold and the pressure will be so intense that it will kill you without protection but if you keep going you will find little glowing specks of light

Dick, describing his happy place: I'm in a cabin, in the middle of nowhere. Inside it's just me and that stupid slimey clown, Joker, and I'm beating the hell out of him. I break a dining room table over his head. Then I rip off his arm and shove it where the sun don't shine. Then, I reach down his throat and shake his hand.

Bruce: Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and schedule you for a psych eval.

here are some batkids faces..might color them might not🤷🤷🤷 we’ll see..

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

I've always loved the idea that the Bats are feared in Gotham for the exact same reasons that the Justice League and the rest of the world deems them to be trustworthy and safe

Batman is respected outside of Gotham because of his staunch refusal to kill even when it would be easier. Gotham criminals are terrified because it's well known that his no-kill rule is his biggest hard limit on what he's willing to do. Pretty much everything else goes and they know it

Nightwing is widely beloved for being the nicest and happiest member of the Bats. His smile and constant playful banter are contagious and always make a situation seem better. In Gotham, the only other people who smile and laugh and have that much fun in combat are Harley Quinn and the Joker

Red Hood is a well-known murderous crime lord, but the League is able to trust him because he's one of the Bats. Gotham loves Red Hood the crime lord because his regulation of drug dealers and constant protection of the weak has done wonders for the lower class of the city. He's terrifying because of his open affiliation with the Bats

Red Robin is well known to be a skilled detective who always has a plan to save the day. In Gotham his meticulous investigations and planning are scary because no one can beat them. It's nearly impossible to outsmart someone who is the smaller more calculatedly vicious version of the Batman himself

When Robin doesn't unsheath his sword or bring it with him to a fight, other heroes are glad to see him get used to less violent methods of combat. If someone from Gotham sees Robin enter a fight without a sword, they're terrified because everyone knows Robin deems his sword to be the most efficient weapon for fighting, and if he's not using it things are going to be far more brutal than normal.

Signal is the only Bat that goes out in the day, and is therefore considered less broody and scary to many non-gothamites. Gotham is scared because he's a Bat that shows up during the day.

Orphan/Black Bat is a very skilled hand to hand combatant that the League knows can handle herself. In Gotham, anyone her height that can still win against someone like Bane in a one on one fight is immediately on the 'do not anger' list.

Spoiler is friendly and gets along pretty well with everyone. She's easy to talk to and work with. In Gotham her friendliness has made more than a few give up important information by accident. They like talking to her despite knowing full well that its a terrible idea. She puts them at ease more than she possibly should because she sounds just like one of them

Gotham always flips everything on its head, and that applies to how and why the Bats are perceived the way they are too

Ok but can we just acknowledge the fact that Douxie has literally been alive through an unimaginable amount of world history. Like this guy was surviving and thriving before the creation of America? Through both world wars? Honestly the potential for time travel fics where like.. someone goes back in time and BOOM it's Douxie at a fucking disco club in '74. I mean come ON. I'm genuinely considering making some "Douxie through the decades" type fanart just cus i think it would look neat. Like my guy lived through the RENAISSANCE. the fucking bubonic plague. Like imagine you were friends with an incredibly powerful wizard trained by Merlin Ambrosius himself who's been around longer than your whole bloodline and he's just some fucking lanky ass blue haired emo fag guitarist who looks like he probably smokes weed and sleeps on people's couches. Insane.
