The way this man's entire face lights up when he sees Kory and his eyes shine at her 🥹

I understand that the Red Robin run has us all in a chokehold, but I think we sometimes miss the forest for the trees. What makes it truly tragic isn't the fact that Tim is a really depressed and anxious person, but the opposite. Tim is a nerd who loves friendship and justice. He has tons of friends and contrasts a post-Jason Bruce who is withdrawn and depressed by being very outgoing and personable. That's his whole thing as a character, he exists to act as a liaison between Batman and the world.

When Red Robin starts, his father has just died, his best friend has just died, his girlfriend has just died, his mentor and some other friends have disappeared from the map, his older brother is juggling the Batman mantle and a poor ten yo Damian that has just lost his father. This is Tim at his worst mentally. He's a character built on interaction and he has no one to interact with. Add to it his canonical mental health issues, well the guy is going through it.

He pours his entire soul into the search for Bruce because he needs a fucking win. The man is spiraling the entire run. The true angst of Red Robin is not that he's a sad little mew mew, but that he isn't. We come to know him as this little guy who loves making friends and forcing Bruce to open up to others, and now we have to see him alone and desperate. He's very similar to Dick in that aspect, the drama hits you harder because you know how he is normally. And the parallels to Bruce at the start of his run as Robin are just brutal: someone wrecked by grief, alone, pouring all their energy and focus into work as an escape... And even in the middle of his crash out arc, he still ends up making friends. That's who Tim Drake is, and that's why he acts like that after losing so many people he holds dear.

Awww I love this <3

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

You need to draw and make art or else all the images will stay in your head and you'll get sick

god's tiniest dickbin (batman & robin: year one #1)

God help the day I actually learn how to properly animate I'm gonna become so insufferable

In tears

something about a legacy that was never supposed to become one. about a grief never meant to become a title. he drives me insane

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

More thoughts on Clark fantasizing about sweaty Bruce "in a friend way":

The reason this lasts so long is coz every time Clark considers that maybe this behaviour isn't normal, he looks over at Bruce who's doing the exact same thing and thinks "nah, this is how friends act, totally bros"

He's memorising his heartbeat and scent? Bruce has already studied every inch of his body in great detail multiple times

He's interested in learning more about Bruce's parents and childhood? Bruce has been learning to speak kryptonian and studying the culture for years now

He treats the bat kids like his own kids? Bruce literally buys the bank his parents owe money to so they can keep the farm

He stares at the man's scars for a bit too long in the changing rooms? Bruce just full on looks him in the eye while he strips down then continues on like nothing happened

This man has not only matched his freak, he's doubled it and put a batsymbol on it

bruce wayne and dick grayson's relationship has me in a fucking chokehold cuz like. What do you mean theyve known eachother the longest and he was Bruce's first Robin, his first son. What do you mean they fight more often than not now? That Bruce actually kicked him out ane fired him and Dick still grew up to be the man that he is despite that. What do you mean Bruce is so irrevocably proud of him and wants to thaw the ice on their relationship but hes already done too much hasnt he?

What do you mean he thinks that touching their relationship now might do more harm than good? That Dick doesnt try to fix it either because for once in his life he doesnt want to have to be the bigger person here. He wants his dad. He wants him to come get him and hold him and tell him he never did anything wrong and that hes sorry and that he loves him. That hes still his son. What do you mean Dick grayson has resigned himself to the fact that it'll never happen?

Thank you for sharing this masterpiece 😂😂😂 it’s fantastic

I think we can all agree that this is the theme song for the batfamily

when u grow up

uhhhhhhhh smth smth gay gay title

i have not slept and it's like 2AM and im now feeling tired but i locked tf in to draw this i just HAD to finish before bed i will be more coherent tomorrow anyways. gay superbat. have

Tim: Oh yeah, Bruce was totally gonna kill Joker. But he did this while thing where right after you died he became the ambassador of Iran or something, so B killing him would've made it an international incident, so Clark stopped him.

Jason, who didn't even say anything to prompt this:

Jason: What the fuck? Can he even- The ambassador of Iran? What the fuck?

The joke that the bats see their contingency plans as a form of love is super fucking funny, don't get me wrong but honestly they probably do see it as that cause they just forget to say the second part out loud.

"after I've taken you down, obviously I'd find whatever made you like this and then find the cure."

They come from gotham where mind altering substances are basically everywhere. One of the most profound ways a gothamite could say 'i care about you' is admitting to having a plan to disarm/capture you in the case you go off the deep end, so that they could then get you a cure.

Unfortunately for the bats, no one else thinks like that cause what the actual fucks guys

Batman: Shadow of the Bat Issue #13

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.

New version of the Flying Graysons’ suits spotted, in World’s Finest annual 2025. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, it’s a combination of two well-known versions. From All Star Batman and Robin The Boy Wonder, and Batman the animated series.

See more versions of the Graysons’ suits here. Not comprehensive, mind you, I do other things with my life… I’ll hopefully update this post with the new suit, eventually…

Stephanie, unaware of Tim's identity and that he's trans, referring to him as "birdboy" and "boy wonder" every two seconds:

Tim, vibrating with the happies:

Stephanie: Are you okay . . ?

Tim: Never been better.

Tim, after transitioning: DAD!!! I NEED PADS!

Jack: ??? Like a notepad?

Tim: . . . For my period.

Jack, thinking this is a school thing: Which one?

Tim, groaning loudly and climbing back up the stairs: I MISS MOM!

Jack: ???

Dana: Did you forget Tim was trans, again?

Jack: . . . F-#$—

Bruce: I saw you sneaking those pain killers, what injury are you hiding this time?

Bernard: I don't get what's so funny?

Tim: I asked for pads with wings...

Bernard, holding up a box of pads in one hand and barbecue chicken wings in the other: I made you wings and got pads though? :(

Tim: I love you.

Bernard: I love you too?

Tim: I love you so much.

Bernard: I love you more?

Tim, stumbling inside his houseboat after a twelve hour long workday at W.E., instantly ripping his suit off an tossing his binder to the ground, groaning as he falls face first into bed: I shouldn't have worn that all day. Ow. All the ow. I need oxygen...

Cass, who stopped by to snack on the leftovers Bernard made: No patrol for you tonight >:/

Tim: Nooooooo...

—

Tim, snickering as he holds his binder up: Hey, hey, hey, Bern.

Bernard: Oh no... Yes, Timboo?

Tim, grinning: De-boob-inator.

Bernard, bursting into laughter:

Tim, laughing harder:

Tim, sipping chamomile tea:

Bruce: Are you... Drinking tea? No soda? Was zesti recalled again? I can call the company —

Tim: No, no, Alfred made it for me! Helps with nausea and cramps and anxiety, good for periods.

Bruce: Oh. Alfred, how'd you know?

Alfred: It was an old trick your Mother taught me, actually. She'd have three cups a day when she had her menstrual cycle. I find it quite poetic, actually, in a way she's caring for her grandchildren even from the grave...

Bruce: . . . That's to many emotions for me to handle at this hour.

Tim: That's to may emotions for you to handle at any hour.

Tim, hiding in a dark, dark closet: Gender dysphoria can't touch me here.
