I love love love that parodies of Marvel are the comic books of the dc universe. It's so fun !!!
Stephanie: Cass isn’t just my best friend, shes my baddie from another daddy
Jason: . . .
Stephanie: Oh dear god why did I say that

Duke: What’s wrong with Tim?
Damian: The idiot took NyQuil instead of DayQuil by accident but refuses to sleep because he’s got work in an hour
Damian: He’d probably be fine if he hadn’t taken twice the recommended amount too
Damian: He’s gonna pass out any minute, wanna watch with me?
Duke: Hell yeah
Duke: Tim! How’s it going dude?!
Tim: I CAN SMELL THE RAINBOW

Dick: I’m really not that sunburned
Barbara: lobsters aspire to achieve that color Dick
Dick: At least my skin actually has color
Barbara: It’s not my fault I’m translucent!
So it may be obvious by now, but yes this is Tim! In LPoD he actually wears the original costume instead of his improved one because Bruce hasn’t made him Robin yet.
If you’re curious on how to tell the 4 apart I usually use context and hair. For example for this panel it’s too old to be Damian. As for hair, as Robin, Dick had the straightest hair that he wore swooped off to the side, so you can tell it’s not him. And Jason’s got his bangs so you know it’s not him, making this Tim!
edit for confusion!: he’s not taller than Alfred he’s standing on a rock
I wonder what drove Cassandra “death wish” Cain to keep herself alive for the missing ten years she was homeless?
breaking news in my ongoing quest to figure out what Tim Drake’s tastes in media are. I just spotted this poster on the wall of his room:
so as one does, I googled “moxy fruv” and found this
Moxy Früvous got their break in the early ‘90s writing and recording songs for Canadian public radio, but didn’t release an actual album until July 1993. This issue (Robin #1) was published in October 1993. So! Tim either loves this one nerdy band enough to slap a poster on his wall a month after hearing them for the first time
or
Tim Drake listens to Canadian public radio for fun.
Headcanon: Because Hal spends a lot of time in space where he's either alone or with aliens that aren't as social as humans, when he's on earth he's very physically affectionate with his friends
He also sometimes forgets that gravity and sound are a thing, for a while after he returns from space he'll accidentally drop several things because he expects them to float and he mostly communicates in gestures until he goes "oh wait I can talk" and immediately starts running his mouth.
Lex @ the Young Justice during Our Worlds at War:
Is it weird that i miss this? Like I genuinely found this dynamic so entertaining. And like honestly I kinda felt like it showed how much respect they had for each other? Like oracle could easily find out what Tim was up to/his identity, but because he doesn’t offer it up and chooses to keep it private, she doesn’t pry. I don’t know I just really liked this dynamic it was so different and interesting. I miss it. . .
these days the facto assumption usually seems to be that all of the Bats know everything about other members of the gang, so it's really interesting to get these jarring reminders that they used to operate with crazy levels of secrecy. like just in Nightwing #20 (1998) we have Barbara being the last person to find out that Harold even exists, years after he started living in the Batcave
and, even more drastic, Barbara and Tim meeting in person for the first time ever (also god they talk about Bruce like he's an elderly dog they need to keep track of lmao)
and Babs doesn't even know Tim's secret identity! when he and Dick head over to Wayne Manor to look for Bruce, Tim peels off to check on his dad next door, and not only does Babs not know why but Dick doesn't even tell her. she has no idea who Robin is outside of the costume and absolutely no one thinks that's weird.
they're sooooo dysfunctional I love them
the dialogue around babs and her disability is so cooked because if there was some understanding that disabled people with a mobility aid — whether it be a chair, a frame, a walking stick, a scooter, prosthesis, whatever — aren’t “trapped” by the devices designed to help them navigate the world we wouldn’t be stuck having the same reductive conversations. kim yale and john ostrander reintroduced babs as a disabled woman who took pride in her intelligence and abilities and saw her wheelchair as a means of reclaiming her independence and autonomy. she removes the handles on the chair because no one, whether it be her father or batman or darkseid, gets to push her around. taking that from her is an act of violence, whether ur tom taylor who can’t envision a world where disabled people are respected and capable unless they are magically cured, or a random online who thinks stealing the wheels off someone’s wheelchair is funny

Damian: You can’t talk you flat ass!
Stephanie: I may be part of the itty bitty titty committee, but i am NOT part of the itty bitty ass committee so shut your mouth
Damian: Oh sureee whatever you say
Stephanie: 38 inches Damian. 38 INCHES! that’s bigger than cass’s head
Cass: It’s true! we measured :)

Roy: My friendship is your birthday present!
Jason: Does it come with a receipt?

Dick: This is a circus, a certified circus
Dick: And I would know, I traveled with one for 6 months when I was 19
Donna: You know I always forget about that
Wally: Yeah you’d think it’d come up more
