Good Reminders For Fight Scenes

Good reminders for fight scenes

Things about fighting I always wish made it into Batfamily fics, in no specific order:

The weird way people flip up their tongues to protect their teeth before a fight (if they’re not wearing a mask/mouthpiece)

Exhaling right when you’re about to be hit during a fight so it reduces pain/impact and your body doesn’t tense up

People getting yanked around by ponytails/longer hair (and how much that fucking HURTS)

The fact that you can’t really prepare to get the wind knocked out of you, it just happens and it sucks no matter how well trained you are

Feeling vasodilation start before a fight begins because of the adrenaline surge and increased heart rate

The Batkids taking cues from Cass and targeting an opponent’s weaknesses during a fight (limps, old injuries or scars, preference for right handed weapons, etc)

Night vision/low light vision - the domino masks automatically adjust their vision so they don’t need to wait between bright lights and darkness, but others do

At a certain point you really can’t run anymore - maybe Bruce-as-Batman can, but a teen will tap out from a chase a lot sooner

Just To Make A Point, Every Time I Finished A Panel Of This I Would Export It As A PNG On The Perceptual

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

I love this panel from BATMAN/SUPERMAN: WORLD'S FINEST ISSUE #35.

Dick's friends with Arthur and Clark. They casually hang out. They watch games together.

Dick's 17 here. Arthur and Clark are presumably in their early 30's. This is just so brilliant, so Dick Grayson. Love it.

A digital DC fancomic page with two panels.
The first panel is of Jon Kent looking up at the viewer, with wide eyes and a missing front tooth. Dialogue reads:
Jon: "Mister Wayne can I look inside your head please?"
Offscreen: "What?" "Oh my God"
Jon: My dad says you have brain damage from getting hit in the head every night and that's why Damian is allowed to fight bad guys on school days I just want to see."
The second panel is of Bruce Wayne looking downwards with a dour expression. Dick Grayson is in the background, with a gleeful expression and a laser flare over one eye. Dialogue reads:
Bruce: "Hm."
Dick: "Holy shit."

babysitting your work friend's kid and he asks to look at your patchwork quilt of a skull. wyd. inspired by Super Sons #6!

A crop of a comic panel from Super Sons #6, with Lois Lane, Clark Kent, and Jon Kent at a dinner table. Dialogue reads:
Clark: "Remember, back by 10 P.M. on the dot."
Jon: "Aww, c'mon, it's Friday. Damian's dad lets him stay out all night!"

A crop of a comic panel from Super Sons #6, with Lois Lane, Clark Kent, and Jon Kent at a dinner table. Dialogue reads:
Clark: "Damian's dad dresses like a bat and gets hit in the head 28 times every night. So maybe not the best argument."

Pursuit Predator Robin, Go!

I think that Tim should be in cross country and like to run marathons. Why? Idk it just fits him

He looked at normal track and thought it was too boring so like a psychopath, he chose to run for longer.

Imagine if there was some criminal and they were running away.

Nightwing: Red Robin

*he's a runner he's a track star*

Even with pounds of heavy equipment, he's out running all of them with pure stamina. You think you got rid of him? Nah, you look behind and see that guy behind you, he will win with pure patience, he is inevitable.

All the criminals are scared out of their wits bc of him, Tim does not give up, it is not in his nature
