An unexpected visit by a fifth dimensional imp results in a deaged Terry and Bruce landing in a Gotham of days gone past, with a challenge to complete before they return home. But it doesn't take long to realise that this is not the Gotham Bruce once knew…

Red Robin #25

Okay I'm driving myself crazy trying to find this image (without the filter). I'm sure it's from the red robin comics. I tried reverse searching on google and couldn't find anything. Does anyone know where specifically I can find this?

In honour of Batman Beyond's 25th anniversary this year, DC are re-releasing a compendium of the original BB comic book run. Which I'm ecstatic about - but this month, they also released a fascimile of the very first Batman Beyond comic from 1999...

...and this was the advert on the very first page.

I have never felt so old as I did when I opened this page in a comic I'd bought brand new! Nostalgia hit like a brick truck.

Who was Dodge?

So Dodge was this younger kid who really wanted to be a superhero. He stole this belt from his dad (who was a scientist ya know) that lets him teleport and starts trying to fight crime all on his own

He looks up to Tim as Robin and wants to work with him, and have Tim teach him how to be a hero and stuff.

(Robin #153)

However Tim says no way because, well, this is after One Year Later, Tim's lost a lot of people in the hero game and doesn't want another kid getting involved let alone one he'd feel responsible for. This is also during the evil!Cass arc so Tim is... extra cranky.

(Robin #153)

Dodge continues to tag along and try to do hero work himself since Tim won't mentor him, and actively gets in the way on a kidnapping case Tim's trying to solve

(Robin #154)

As part of Tim's plans to solve this thing, he lets himself get kidnapped as Tim Drake so he can get to the missing kids and to the source of all of it, but Dodge shows up again... and things go wrong. While trying to get the bad guy, a piece of what Tim threw goes off course and hits the belt that gave Dodge his transportation powers, which ends up trapping him in a coma.

(Robin #155)

This is what happened directly before the Suicide Prevention comic I've talked about before, and is one of the main reasons Tim feels like utter shit in that issue.

Then, in the following issues during Tim & Klarion's little adventure, we learn that Dodge's powers re-activated and he transported himself out of the hospital.

(Robin #158)

And now... he's angry. His belt's powers have fused with him so he's just a general teleporter who looks all funky and kinda transparent and glowy. And he's very angry at Tim specifically. So he starts trying to form a team to take Robin down.

(Robin #161)

However even in all of this he more just wants to mess things up for Robin, not like, actually kill him or anything. But the team he assembles have different things in mind and absolutely want to kill Robin. Everything gets out of his control and he realizes that he fucked up here, but the bad guys threaten his family so he stays with the group in their plot to kill Robin.

It's then revealed that one member of the group he'd assembled was actually Rose undercover (and Zach Zatara pretended to be Tim as a decoy during all this too). Tim was trying to get Dodge out of the situation with the villains, and take them down himself with his team.

(Robin #166)

During the big fight though Dodge does what he does and ignores Tim telling him to stay out of it. He helps in taking down the bad guys but his teleportation powers interact badly with one of them and he... fades away

(Robin #166)

Tim doesn't want to believe he's dead but he never gets seen again :(

I miss him... he was just a little boy... babey... and this is another one of those things that will forever weigh heavily on Tim's mind.

#tim drake #not fanfiction #the Dodge plotline is one of my favourites

There’s an argument to be made that Damian as a character ruined the role of Robin, not in a he’s-an-awful-character way (love that little scamp), but post-Damian we have writers being basically unwilling to use him in mainline Batman titles and relegating the Robin role to Batman & Robin comics

Maybe it was an inevitable thing with the rising distaste for child vigilantes in the modern age (that’s why Scott Snyder didn’t use him), but either way the Robin partnership is kind of broken at DC and has been for a while

ok but if bruce wayne somehow came upon zuko fresh out of banishment he would lose his mind.

black hair? check. bad parent(s)? check. trauma? double check.

bruce: how’d you get your scar?

zuko: my dad got mad at me for saying that killing people is wrong so he lit my face on fire and banished me.

bruce, vibrating with excitement, already pulling adoption papers from his utilility: that’s terrible. how do you feel about capes.

I love how nowadays Tim Drake's base of operations is the Robin's Nest when in the modern era he literally bought, refurbished, and lived in the movie theater the Waynes were murdered outside of. He didn't even ask Bruce his thoughts until after the purchase. Why did he do that

All the different Timber through the multiple universes 🤭 Tim is so silly and so stupidly in love with Bernard in all of them and I love that for him 👏

Tim's early relationship with Cass is so funny to me I can't explain it

Finally I can share this! A mini comic made as part of a Timber fan anthology. Hope you guys like it!

the thing about tim drake is fanon wants him to be either a 'sad shivering purse dog' or a 'wacky mad scientist', and then you read him in the actual comics and you discover that well he is a little bit both of those things and, also, willingly runs into army blockades and dodges literal bullets because a girl asked him nicely, and is also somehow able to talk people into doing what he thinks is best whilst committing social blunders that make you need to stop reading and stare into space for five minutes, and by trying to make him Super Relatable the collective of tim writers have instead created a character so riddled with contradictions that the only reasonable response is for you, as a fan, to go entirely insane.

Duke’s sixteenth is coming up, and Bruce asks his older kids to help him come up with a traditional Batfamily gift.

At which point it becomes clear the two ‘smartest’ members of the family are living under a major misunderstanding.

Full credit for this idea goes to lb1324 and clex_monkie89 on the Batfamily Shenanigans Discord - lb1324 brought up the concept back in June, Clex added some ideas, and I utterly fell in love with what they were throwing out and asked if I could play with it a bit and see if I could make a fic out of it. Took a few months longer than I expected, but enjoy!

You know what, we deserve a Brentwood Academy Reunion mini comic where Tim brings Bernard along and all the other guys keep sending him pitying looks because they think the poor guy should be warned that Tim will never catch onto his feelings for him.

And Bernard is like, "um, why is everyone giving me so much sympathy?" And Tim's like, "what are you talking about?" And then people literally pat him on his shoulder and tell him that they "get it" and they've "been through this too"

Bernard: What are you talking about??

Some guy from Brentwood: It's okay, man. It's practically a rite of passage at this point. You're here with Tim Drake as just a friend, right?

Tim, who heard that: Um, no? Bernard's my date

Literally everyone there: What.

Tim: Uh...yeah? He's my boyfriend

Everyone: *squeeze their wine glasses so hard they literally shatter*

After the incident on false Remnant, Superman catches up with Batman, and talks about a decision his friend considered making.

I have never watched so much of an episode of RWBY, but I watched Justice League X Rwby: Super Heroes & Huntsmen and found it enjoyable. However, Batman's story felt off, so I decided I needed to explain it away with some Bruce and Clark bonding. Enjoy.

The problem with Batman in his present incarnation is that we need simultaneously to believe that this is a man who can effortlessly ninja his way through dozens of gun-toting mercenaries, and that this is a man to whom Danny DeVito with an umbrella is a credible threat.
