DAMIAN WAYNE - Batman and Robin (2011) - Robin: Son of Batman - Robin (2021) - Batman & Robin (2023) (currently ongoing! imo this would be a good place to start reading since its happening right now so you can see it happen along with everyone else!)

HELENA BERTINELLI - Huntress: Year One - The Huntress (1989) - Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood - Nightwing/Huntress Helena is also a character in birds of prey from issues #57-127 <3

STEPHANIE BROWN - Detective Comics #647-649 - Showcase '95 #5 - Robin (1993) #126-147 (steph has a ton of appearances in Robin 1993 so it would be good to read that for more or to look through her appearances on locg if you just want to read about her! these chapters are her as Robin.) - Batgirl (2009)

I haven't read a super large amount for every single one of them so disclaimer that some of the ones I mention here might not be their best! These are what I could think of but there are plenty more, especially as standalone issues, so if anyone sees this please mention more!! also, there are lots of comics that are questionable but this list was very much on the fly off the top of my head so i was kind of sat here with my head in my hands like 'god i need to give more than one jason todd comic dont i....' and this was all i could come up with that wasnt like.... a random detective comics issue idk

Cassie: Problem, I can't tell if this food is over-sauced or undercooked.

Cissie: Solution, just pop it back in the oven for another 10 minutes. There's at least a 50% chance that'll fix it, right?

Tim: Result? Food has somehow become unpleasantly soggy and unpleasantly crunchy at the exact same time.

Kon: No better time than this to pull out my favorite word! Slunchy!

Anita: ...put it away.

For science:

Clarifications:

If you don't know the exact number you've read just go with your best guess

Comics here refers to single issues, not collected trade paperbacks. For instance, the Under the Red Hood trade is 14 issues.

WFA is a non canon webcomic, not a traditionally published comic, so it goes in a separate category.

Comics don't have to be Batfam focused, just from DC.

Reblog for a bigger sample size + bonus: put your fave bat comic and/or fave batfam member in the tags.

i am sorry but i am so gah about them because like genuinely at this part tim is not just asking dick to believe & trust in him (and knowing dick will) but he is also affirming to dick that he believes & trusts in dick's ability as batman & dick's decisions before he goes!!

like tim telling dick "you take care of gotham" when tim knows the importance of batman needing to be there for gotham is tim affirming dick as the new batman who has an important job to do & showcasing the confidence and trust in dick to be the one to take care of gotham (the city they both love)!! tim telling dick to not let damian ruin everything they built as robin is a tim who *has* accepted dick's decision of damian as the holder of the mantle as tim knows now that he (tim) has to leave the robin mantle behind to go after the chance bruce is alive!! that is why he is stressing the importance of dick ensuring damian upholds the legacy of it!! the legacy of dick's that is important to tim!! the robin mantle!! the importance of robin!! robin means something (especially to tim)!! and tim might still be very, very unsure of damian's ability to uphold it at this moment!! but!! he is at least accepting of the chance to try that dick gave to damian!! if he wasn't accepting of dick's choice, he would not have said this!! if he truly thought dick was making a mistake he would have straight up told dick that!! the acknowledgment of damian's ability to potentially even make a mark on the legacy tim holds dear is tim acknowledging him as the inheritor of the mantle!!

(Trying to bake a cake in one of Tim's safehouses)

Jason: We need a tablespoon for measuring

Tim: *pointing at a spoon* Jason, that’s a tablespoon

Jason: no, it’s not?

Tim: yes, it is. that’s a spoon that’s used on the table?

Jason: Tim, that’s not what a tablespoon is

Bats and their least favourite Rogues to deal with (other than Joker of course)

Bruce hates dealing with Two-Face, mostly because of knowing and valuing Harvey as a friend and he feels a sense of guilt that he wasn't able to save the man.

Damian does not enjoy fighting Poison Ivy as he actually agrees with many of her ideologies, and cannot always fully convince himself she's not going about it the right way. Ivy knows this and loves to use it against him. Damian is also not fond of her cuddle pollen as it allows his overbearing older brother to latch onto him like the limpet he is with a viable excuse.

Tim HATES Hatter. Losing control of your mind is basically Tim's worst nightmare. The Joker Junior incident only adds fuel to his mind control terrors. Whenever Hatter gets out the rest of the family has to keep an extra close eye on Tim who tends to give up sleeping in order to put Hatter back in Arkham.

Scarecrow is the least favourite of both Dick and Jason. Although every member of the batfam have their fair share of traumatic memories, Dick and Jason always find reliving theirs hardest to shake off. Any loud thumps after set both of them off, Dick thinking yet another person has hit the floor and Jason thinking it was yet another strike of the crowbar.

Stephanie is terrified of Professor Pyg. He is not as loud and demanding of attention as the rest of the Rogues so the others never consider him as the worst but there is something about him that makes her absolutely sick to her stomach. She's had one close encounter with him and never wants to see him again. If she's a little quick to let someone else take a case that may involve him that's nobody else's business but hers.

Cass is not a fan of Riddler. She is the least equipped to deal with his games as she cannot fully grasp the double meanings of many English words and Riddler has very confusing body language to read. Cass does not like feeling useless and Riddler is terrifying in his own right so being completely unequipped to stop him is not something she enjoys.

Duke hates Condiment King. And Kite Man. Such B-list villains but of course with his luck they always escape on the day shift. Mustard and ketchup are incredibly difficult to get out of the cracks in his armour and Kite Man is annoying and has an unfortunate habit of picking him up and DROPPING HIM. Duke's over it.

bruce wayne dropping in on the batboy's conversations randomly, hoping that he'll hear something intellectual or interesting, but instead gets hit with the stupidest shit he's ever heard in his life, every time.

jason: "hey dick can you tell tim that armadillos aren't real?"

dick: "...why would i tell him that???"

jason: "because he thinks they're real?"

dick: "jason."

tim: "I TOLD YOU!!!"

"Damian should be a veterinarian when he grows up" this and "Damian should be a doctor" that….I think he should take advantage of his wealth and be an art major
