Cass beat his ass because he was being too silly post-patrol
Tim is just relishing in his misery
Cass seeing angry bby Bruce and immediately clocking that as Batman is the best identity reveal IMO. Batman’s body language being the same as when he initially swore vengeance is just so real and so right.
Panels from Batgirl (2000).

Jason Todd having another full-on flashback but while suited up. It’s so visceral and real and well done. His agony and terror is palpable.

i think the reason why i’m not a huge fan of most soulmate aus (especially the ones where a character’s soulmate is marked) is the idea of compulsory relationships. of love unfounded in its growth, of love chosen not by lovers but by something else entirely. i love love that is purposeful. love that is essentially [ON PURPOSE, ON PURPOSE I AM GOING TO CARE ABOUT YOU] [of course i wonder if they love me back, which is, really, besides the point. i don’t do it to be adored, i do it because my love keeps getting bigger and that’s what happens] [just let me have that. you can have bill, or the world, or whatever you need. just let me have that, let me go on loving you, and i guess it’ll be enough] [i love everybody because i love you] but also [the idea of love as a violent act—not to the person that you love, but against the world. to say to somebody, ‘I love you; by extension, i hate all other things] [if soulmates do exist, they’re not found. they’re made] [i’d choose you; in a hundred different lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, i’d find you and i’d choose you] and lingering touches and half-formed hopes and unknowns and a love that grows not one that is just there. love that is content with just being. love that is a big ‘fuck you’ to the universe because it says ‘you could’ve killed me but you didn’t and i could’ve starved myself from this but i didn’t and i could’ve broken but i didn’t and i’m here and i think this person is everything and they think i’m everything and it hurts so much to think about how much i care for them but i couldn’t care less. i’m going to be gentle in the face of horrors, i’m going to be gentle in loving them not because you told me to but because i chose to.’

Shout out to Jinx for knowing what’s up 🙏
and by the way, major kudos to the authors of WFA for not treating Jason like he's incompetent. the family could've just met up without him knowing to discuss the course of action, instead they included him and didn't treat him like he's broken. yes, it backfired, but also at least Jason knows that his family doesn't consider his PTSD as a liability, or as something that makes him entirely useless or triggered at the slightest mention of the Joker. because he did look for Duke, after all, and he did show up at Tim's to discuss what to do since Bruce's shutting them all out. the fact that he got triggered anyway doesn't make him any less competent or any less capable and his family knows and won't hesitate to be there for him through it all.
I don't have a fast pass so no spoilers, please!!
Doodled some shaped caped bats starting with Red, then of course had to draw the whole fam. Maybe them very simple to work as emoji/icons. Discord emoji size (128x128) under the cut. (The above are 512x512.)
If you use them and feel like helping a disabled artist out, you can buy me a ko-fi!
