I haven't kept up with comics in a while but am I to understand that basically everything that happened in heroes in crisis has now been undone completely

nature is healing

#i find HiC absolutely delightful because it just sucks so fucking bad #but the amusement it brings does not outweigh the damage it did #but now red devil is back so alls well that ends well i guess

Most people forget or ignore Duke Thomas, when they talk about the batfamily. And even the ones who include him say that he is the 'normal' one. Some people argue with that, and say that Duke is like the rest of the batkids with the example of him jumping out of a moving car and into a bridge.

Duke is way more than that. So, I complied a list of facts and feats of Duke Thomas. This will most likely be multiple parts.

Duke swear a lot.

Has a record of getting kicked out of schools.

Knew Leslie Thompkins way before he met the batfamily. She is also the one who found him foster homes.

His parents are jokerized, that's why he is put to foster homes. He also takes care of them in the mental hospital.

He doesn't trust the police.

He is very sarcastic. Especially to the cops.

He jumped out of a moving police car and through a bridge. The reason why he was arrested is because he had wore red shoes. In those times, vigilantism was very illegal and appearently red was the symbol of Robin.

One time, Bruce got amnesia. And Duke, to make him remember, pulled him and himself onto a railway and did not move even when he saw a train coming. Thankfully, Bruce snapped out and pulled them of the rails.

His mom used to call him Babybird.

Some villains nicknamed him as Babybat.

He understands Joker in a way Bruce never did.

He doesn't see himself apart of the Batfamily.

His powers are: He can technically see peoples weak parts through how much power they concentrate to them. He can see glimpses of future, rewind the present time like a video. He has increased healing, super fast reflexes. He can see particles in substences. He can literally see light. He also has a bit of telepathic powers. He can speak and be seen on different frequencies, so he can be invisible or speak in a tone that no one would understand. Invisibility.

To add to it, he did not have shadow powers from birth. A supervillain, kind of mutated his genes so that he could control the darkness.

His mother had powers.

First time he went out as Signal, people hated him.

He was The Signal, way before discovering his powers. He discovered his powers when his father tried to recruit him to his endeavours.

His father is a supervillain named Gnomon, and he has the same powers as Duke. Gnomon also had a picture of child Duke on his desk.

Bruce gifted him his own base of operation, called The Hatch.

Bruce called him a gift to the city.

He is good with Damian.

This is the end of Part 1. I'll continue in Part 2.

can you believe no one bought these

#these two were the only ones on sale #booster gold #blue beetle #mcfarlane toys

[andronell]

Is there like. A specific reason that print copies of Young Justice 1998 book 3 are so expensive. Can't buy it new, I've only seen one used copy up for sale and it cost a pretty penny

I assume its in some way bc it's almost exclusively sins of youth but like. Did they print less bc they thought people would be less interested in this one? Were more people interested so more people bought it making it more scarce? Is it just a fluke? Like why is it just this one volume

I wanna own all of YJ98 in print and this is putting a wrench in that plan _(:'3」∠)_

Seeing as duke is being shown in mainstream media and every batfam fan and their mom have read the webtoon, they‘re really no more excuses.

#ive been kinda wanting to do a writeup on duke's major storylines and supporting characters #but to do it with any confidence id need to go back and reread/finally get around to reading all of said comics #so probably not gonna happen #rip #duke thomas

[andronell]

I love those Tim isn’t in the Wayne family but the Wayne family has claimed him anyway fics (both civilIan and vigilante)

but I need more the ones where Tim helps them out but they just don’t know who he is and don’t bother trying to figure it out

[andronell]

every time i see someone treating slobo and li'l lobo as the same character i put a quarter in the sock

#was playing around with this way of coloring things #i will. probably not use it again. #but fuck if im going to recolor this now #slobo #slo-bo #young justice #yj98 #li'l lobo #bring him back cowards #young just us

[andronell]

Thinking about this. Bart Allen, canonical baybee sayer

Conner Kent, Bart Allen and Cassie Sandsmark in Gotham Knights.

Desperately wish they’d get their own spin-off game in the same continuity.

#truly the most relatable character #bart allen

I kinda checked out of comics for a while bc I can't keep up with ongoing series' to save my life, has dark crisis finished releasing yet so I can go in and read it all in one (long) sitting

#dark crisis #dc comics

[andronell]

It would be the ultimate 'fuck you' but also REALLY REALLY FUNNY if young justice dark crisis does bring in alt-world versions of some of the later yj98 characters but instead of slo-bo we just get lil lobo

#young just us #slobo #yj98 #dc:yj

[andronell]

Let's freaking goooooo

#they were sold out of the tim drake special rip #but i kinda figured they would be #young just us #dc:yj

[andronell]

i can't understand fandom's obsession with fanonizing tim to the point of unrecognizability because honestly canon tim is way funnier. he dropped out of highschool. he was figurehead ceo for like a week. he refuses to talk to his ex he parted on good terms with. he decided to go by red robin even though it was jason's name. he tried to clone his best friend. he ghosted said best friend. he dated two girls at once. he never had sex in his life. he used his his own surname as a hero name. he has no tragic backstory but decided to effectively ruin his life anyway. he has beef with a ten year old. he is a menace. he is a loser. i love him so much

#we don't want this genuinely funny and interesting character we want a twink we can project our trauma onto #hate this so much #tim drake

[andronell]

Is the tim drake special anywhere online yet

I'll buy a copy eventually but I'm not gonna make the ~2 hr drive to the comic shop for one issue when gas prices are this stupid

#especially since i already own half of whats actually in the issue #rip #i will go next week maybe #for young justice #i prefer to wait until things are collected to buy them BUT i will make an exception for yj

[andronell]

cool that this exists but McFarlane hasn't made a duke-as-signal action figure yet, could we maybe get that before we get obscure alt versions of his character

Duke's Last Knight design is so sick, I hope this version of the character shows up again. And since his whole thing was fighting 'the dark' then dark crisis would be the time to do it 👀

#slightly justified as i think this was released alongside other dark multiverse/metal related figures #but also #i want a gd signal action figure #dc multiverse
