"Wait, how many churches have you punched people in??" "Zero. I took one." "Oh, god. Of course you did." Tim being both amused and horrified by Jason's stories is PEAK little gremlin and big gremlin brother energy.

i dont necessarily think tim and jason should be Getting Along in canon atm but i do giggle at the idea of them chilling and someone being like whoa tim! that's a gnarly scar on your throat what's that from!! and tim just being like

My first reaction was that Bruce having a letterboxd is ooc but you know what, i can actually totally imagine that after Bruce learned Tim is bi, he did very meticulous Research on lgbt issues like he researches any issue that is relevant to his current Mission, came across an 'lgbt themed movies you should see' listicle, booked 2 hours from his hectic schedule, and sat down with a stern face to watch highly acclaimed Weekend (2011). And after he was done he diligently logged in his letterboxd and gave it 5 stars where his son can see it. So that from Bruce's perspective Tim would know he's loved and supported without Bruce actually needing to verbally express it or have a hard emotional discussion. Yeah that's exactly what happened

Oh my godddddd I’m in real tears right now because, Bruce goes off on some batshit mission, and Jason’s immediately like WHY IS ROBIN NOT STOPPING HIM BY BEING THE LIGHT TO HIS DARK!? DUKE, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!! and Duke has to point out, are you FUCKING kidding me, JASON “I DIED AS ROBIN AND CAME BACK AS A VILLAIN JUST TO TRY TO MAKE BATMAN KILL THE JOKER” TODD? I feel like this is both the funniest thing I’ve ever seen and a deep look into Jason’s unshakable belief in the idea of Robin’s role as the one that keeps Batman from walking too far into the dark, that it may not be Jason’s role anymore, but he still believes that it’s a needed role.

Yo steph is purple hood, dami is green hood, duke yellow hood, dick obv blue hood, tim can be black hood cuz condom suit was already p much that, B would not hood it up even if forced, cass shoot grey hood? Isk

2023 reading list: Under the Red Hood (2005)

“That is a father’s greatest triumph… To have a son surpass his own excellence.”

(ID under the cut.)

ID: Six edits of panels from Under the Red Hood, five of which are animated.

Batman and Nightwing swing on grappling hooks over a nighttime city skyline. Animation rolls through three speech bubbles. Dick: "Good god, he made a joke." / Bruce: "Be quiet." / Dick: "Yes, sir."

2. Batman stands on a roof in front of a sunlit cityscape. He reaches a hand out for Jason, who is suspended mid-air. First, Jason is dressed in his Red Hood costume, but the gif changes to show him as a young Robin.

3. A young Jason, in front of a purple background smeared with red, looks off to the side of the screen. Words behind him read, "He took me away from you," repeated multiple times. The words light up in order, highlighting the sentence.

4. Jason, in his Red Hood costume, perfectly executes a flip from one rooftop to the next. The gif rotates through three poses as he jumps.

5. A still image of Jason in his Red Hood costume. His body is turned slightly to the side, but he looks directly at the camera. He stands in front of a Gotham city scape in blues and purples. He has a faint shadow stretching over the buildings.

6. Bruce holds a bloody younger Jason in his hands. Animated text of the Joker's laughter flashes over the screen.

/End ID.

Um so you can start by counting me

I'm morbidly curious to know what proportion of the Bat family fandom on Tumblr only exists because Jensen Ackles voiced Jason Todd that one time.

[becausehetookmeawayfromyou]

i love him

I hc that Jason is the type to go into a mission with 50 pre-planned scenarios and back up plans, just ready to go at all times, he's always over-prepared if anything.

But people always assume he's being reckless or impulsive cause the transitions between [plan 1 - failed] and [plan 2 - we'll see] are always so jarring and seemingly out of nowhere.

Tim on the other hand goes in with 1.5 of a back-up plan and just makes things up one spot but he manages to do it so seamlessly that people assume that was the plan all along. So Tim comes off as the methodical planner bat when it's really Jason who has the braincell in between them.
