Why I don't like Barbara being shoehorned on the Titans.
Reasons why:
1. The main reason why she's on the team is because of Dick. Her relationship with the Titans has always been reliant on Dick. She never had any history with the Titans before retcons pushed her and dick together. She has become a character who hates being away from Dick and always wants to follow him in every mission he takes. When she's with the Titans, it only feels like it's because writers don't know what else to do with her other than making her follow Dick around like a dog.
2. It's part of the whole dickbabs agenda and dickkory erasure. Editorial loves to include dickbabs in everything and They hate the idea of Dick being paired or shipped with anyone other than Barbara. They know Starfire is Dick's other huge love interest and their relationship was a huge part of the Titans franchise. They don't like that so they want to erase that by shoehorning Barbara in the Titans and making Dick/Babs the focus on Titans stuff.
3. Barbara dumbs down the Titans so she can shine on their team.
Barbara especially as Oracle tends to be hyped up but the truth is she's not the only hacker or tech user in the entire dc universe. Titans has plenty of tech users. So in reality she's not needed by the Titans. She fills in niches that are already occupied by the Titans.
Dick - leader, martial artist, tactician, detective, tech user, hacker.
Cyborg - tech user, hacker and information broker.
Starfire - team mom
and all of the Titans are active communicators and they all know how to use a computer, and please starfire is an expert pilot, i remember she even owns a spaceship and hacked other alien ships. she knows how to operate a spaceship how much more using a computer 馃檮
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They don't need Barbara or Oracle's help for them to accomplish something using a computer or for them to be able to communicate to each other and reach out to other heroes.
The Titans can directly talk to each other through their communicators and earpieces and they have a huge computer at titans tower, and cyborg has all the high-tech stuff but when Barbara shows up, the Titans suddenly don't know how to call each other or use a computer, they make them rely on Oracle for communication and tech stuff.
The Titans are dumbed down to make Barbara shine as a tech user and to make her look smarter and useful to their team.
For example look at how Tom Taylor made Dick look dumb here. He had to call Barbara first and ask her to help him reach out to his own teammates when he can just call them right away on his own, it's funny because he wrote that Dick can't call his teammates directly because he lost signal yet he has the signal to call Barbara. Tom Taylor and his dumb excuses indeed 馃檪
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and look at Cyborg needing to be watched by Barbara as if his high-tech sensors are unable to detect the villains approaching his back, and lol Nightwing just stands there doing nothing while Barbara monitors his own teammates when that is supposed to be his job since he's their leader. He was nerfed into a lazy irresponsible leader too much that he didn't even know his own teammate is in australia. He's not even allowed to use the titans computer when Barbara is around him.
Tumblr media
and look at Kory, she never calls Barbara while on missions before and suddenly she has no clue what to do without Barbara guiding her move???
Tumblr media
The Titans never needed Barbara to accomplish anything on their own. They've fully functioned and communicated with each other for decades without her. They never needed to be babysat by some girl from Gotham. Barbara has never even been mentioned once in the original New Teen Titans comics but they become the most dumbest useless versions of themselves when Barbara is suddenly around, she's written in a way that makes the Titans redundant, stealing their jobs and spotlight to make herself look like a badass hero. Nightwing can't act like a real leader, Cyborg can't be the tech user of the group, Raven can't be the voice of reason, Titans can't use a computer and other tech stuff etc. because she can't shine if they do that. The only way for her to stand out on a team she has nothing to do with her is by dumbing everyone around her.
Barbara should be with her own team Birds of Prey not on a team she has nothing to do with.
4. The Titans become another Batman-related group.
We all know the story of Dick when he joined the Titans. He left Gotham and quit being Batman's sidekick because he doesn't wanna be under Batman's shadow anymore. The Titans helped him be independent from the Bats.
I don't like that Barbara keeps invading his privacy and space. The Titans is supposed to be a place where Dick can be away from the Batfamily and do his own thing.
and the Titans is Dick's own team, I don't like the idea of Barbara overriding his own agency.
She needs to do something on her own without associating herself with Dick 24/7
Plus the Bats are pretty oversaturated in DC, we don't need them overtaking Titans as well.
If another Bat related character has to show up then it has to be just one of the robins since Robin is a titan character.
Batgirl or Barbara has never been a Titan. She only ever wants to show up because of her romance with Dick. I do think Dick/Babs relationship is a mistake and that It shoudn't have happened. It's not a good relationship if you have to shoehorn it in places it doesn't belong in and dumbing down other characters along the way just for it to make sense or make Barbara's presence in Dick's life stronger than it should be.
I wish editorial didn't retcon them into lovers. Their relationship did more damage to their characters and the people around them than when they were not together.
The "His older crush that he outgrew and learned to move on from" trope was already fine. I hate that they changed that story by aging down Barbara to be the same age as Dick so they can be together instead of just letting them move on from each other.
Dick wouldn't have to stay stuck with Barbara 24/7 and Barbara wouldn't have to keep following Dick around like a dog wherever he goes if they just kept it in the past.

i hate that ship where you have to give the characters a complete 180 for them to even work on paper, and then you don鈥檛 even recognize those characters anymore because the shippers just make the ship the characters only existing trait.

Oh Tom Taylor and his hypocrisy and double standard.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tom Taylor is doing bbrae because he thinks bbrae is a well known titan couple so it's expected they're gonna be a thing in his titan book but don't want to give the same energy to dickkory who is also a well known titan couple and the original canon main titan couple.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He and his team talk about how bbrae is so good and how they have so much history and how they're such an important part of the titans franchise but is so tone deaf when it comes to Dickkory. 馃槄 they're doing bbrae because they think they have so much history (even though bbrae never had an actual relationship in the original titans series, if i remember correcly bbrae only started in Geoff John's run) but they refuse to acknowledge dickkory's history who has the original actual serious relationship.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He talks about how his titans run is inspired by the classic new teen titans series and how much he respects and acknowledges that series. If Tom Taylor really respects new teen titans maybe he should atleast acknowledge that the new teen titans creator himself said Dickkory shouldn't have been broken up huh 馃ス
I agree with the person's reply, the main reason he's doing bbrae is because he refuses to do dickkory because he ships dickbabs and he wants to find a way to replace dickkory as the main titan couple.
Watch how tom taylor will continue to:
- erase dickkory's relationship and history .
-reduce them into a temporary fling.
-shoehorn babs in the titans book.
-force dickbabs in titans.
-use starfire and the others titans to prop up dickbabs.
-make bbrae or dickbabs the main titan couple.
note i don't hate bbrae, i just find it funny how hypocritical and unfair tom taylor is towards dickkory.

Whether you agree with this article or not , you can't deny that there are So many DickBabs fans and writers who actually don鈥檛 care about Barbara as an individual character.
The current Nightwing run聽did very little with Barbara as an individual that鈥檚 completely unrelated to Nightwing.聽 In every single page of that book, She only exists to be Dick's lovesick clingy GF.聽
Even in other books, she shows up just to be seen with him and will not stop mentioning him. She can't do anything without him nowadays.
What's also sad is that dickbabs shippers are fine when she's isolated from her own team and own agency as long as she gets to stay with Nightwing. None of them complained when Barbara was excluded from the recent Birds of Prey run. Her independence is sacrificed for the sake of shipping.
Barbara needs her independence back. She deserves better fans and better writers who ask for something that increases her value as a character. Not just being known as Nightwing's GF.

Related to my prev post:
I don't give two shits if Bruce is written like a bad dad if it means we get good writing for everybody else since i think minorities are more important than a white cishet male nepotism baby unlike his butch lesbian counterpart who's judaism is an actual fundamental part of her character and since he's been written as abusive so consistently over the years it's in-character anyway
Dick can be both bi/pan and demisexual and there's more evidence for the latter than the former so making him be sexually loose is aspec erasure and mspec stereotyping and he dosen't have a thing for redheads,he has a thing for black women and to me the only guy he seems to like romantically is Roy and that adds on to his demisexuality since they're childhood best friends
'Catholic guilt Jason' is a shit headcanon that misses the major and critical part of him being Red Hood that he didn't feel the slightest bit bad about killing people and the point of his redemption was learning remorse,afrolatino Jason isn't based on stereotyping but him filling out so many black and latino cultural aspects and if any hcs for him are stereotyping it's the one that he's a slut because he's a very handsome and hot and cute goth punk man
Tim is perfect the way he is and dosen't need power ups or to get 'punished' for the oh so horrible crime of being a realistic teenage boy,he's not JUST huge a loser or a super cool dude but both at once and it's bad writing and fetishistic to ignore his wide range of relathionships that consists of mostly of women to make him a 'guys guy'
Stephanie is heavily autistic and bpd-coded so she's far from a 'normie',much less an 'it girl' but people see blonde hair and blue eyes and throw away everything else about her because that's all she's worth to them or call her an abuser and a pick me just like they do irl bpdtistic women and she's also canonically pastel/indie punk and a Team Mom but gets her presentation switched to basic and made out to be a womanchild instead
Cass had a million times more moral conflict than Jason ever did,would never in her LIFE wanna be feminine even in the chinese way and would be butch in it instead,turning her scattered speech into sign language is ableist not unlike(but not on the same level as)changing Babs' type of wheelchair disability and she'd be a better Batman than any male character in existense
Duke is only a golden child in the sense he has a yellow motif and is as disruptive and authentically quirky as his siblings,We Are Robin is a better team than the canon Outlaws,his powers are cooler than any Al-Ghul ones you could come up with,he has more femme energy than Tim does and Carrie Kelley ain't shit and only gets brought back to replace him because DC is antiblack
Damian's introduction mentality was a result of not only child abuse but also psychological grooming to get him to dehumanize himself and all his bigoted comments are explained either by him being like 12 or his writers trying to demonize brown people and anybody who thinks he's a bad person is a super-sized pissbaby with no sympathy for kids of color,shipping him with Jon is making a bisexual man into a ped0phile and Jay is good even if aging Jon up wasn't and he should be friends with Maya,Suren,Nell,Colin,Kathy,Maps,Tai and Miles,Gwen,Peni,Pavitr,Hobie and Margo from Atsv and Nico and Hazel from Pjo instead of Billy Batson or Danny Fenton or ANY Mcu characters
Talia is super hot but should be drawn in accurate arab clothes instead 'sexy assasian gear'(not that these two can't co-exist but you get what i mean),her personality is extremely rich and her stories are mega interesting,she's a good mom to Damian and literally never 'took advantage of Jason' seeing as That Scene In Lost Days was decanonized by it's writer who said it was ooc for her on his part,she should've been a mom figure to Stephanie in her Robin Days too since they would get along and she deserved her own run where she takes over Lexcorp to transform it into a force for good and become Superfam-adjacent to free herself from having only male connections

[EDIT: hi this is an old post so uh. if you disagree just leave please because i no longer want to engage in fandom arguments and fights^^ thank u]
i'm the biggest dickbabs hater in this world
the way their relationship is literally a retcon meant to chain dick and barbara to the batman world
the way this ship does a huge disservice to BOTH of the characters and significantly harms their individual character growth and development while restricting them
THE WAY THEY AGED BARBARA DOWN LIKE 6 YEARS ONLY TO GET HER WITH GRAYSON ????馃槶THE WAY SHE WAS NEVER EVEN INTERESTED IN HIM ??? because he was too young and she absolutely did not see him in a romantic way
the way this ship is favored by the writers and constantly used to put down and invalidate other love interests for dick and mainly my girl kori/starfire...
tldr: FREE BARBARA AND DICK !!!馃槶馃檹馃徏free them from this misery and stop mistreating kori

I love you Dick Grayson. Sweetest baby Robin. Most beautiful of all. Beauty Incarnate. Charisma equalled only by sanctimonious bitchery and complete disregard for your own health and sanity. Best big brother in the whole world, with the possible exception of Roy. My darling baby. Heart of the DCU. Heir apparent of the Bat and spiritual successor of Superman. Your baby brothers adore you so much. You mean everything to Tim. Jason and Cass would have been so important to you too, if DC ever let us have anything. You have done so much wrong in your life, and also never done anything wrong. Bruce never deserved you, but his soul would have died without you. You and Babs are a complete trashfire who should never get together, but a part of her would die if the world didn't have you in it. You're Damian's only real father, and it's you he will always choose. You and Stephanie were made of dust from the same star. You should have been allowed to know and love each other. Shine bright you onyx diamond. One day you will have your Nightstar.

I鈥檓 sorry but this is awful and pandering like. Babs hates her and it鈥檚 wrong but we don鈥檛 need to pretend she doesn鈥檛 and hasn鈥檛 said the most misogynistic stuff about her behind her back consistently like. Let her be a bitch 馃槶 THEYRE NOT FRIENDS ITS OK like?? it鈥檚 honestly more misogynistic to insist women can鈥檛 hate each other or have ugly/bad traits on the basis of being women like. Babs is consistently mean to Kory. Kory doesn鈥檛 give a shit about Babs. It鈥檚 ok. Literally it would be so much funnier if they acknowledged it as a one sided rivalry that it is and always has been 馃槶 I鈥檓 a Babs stan but ignoring her bad traits and just making stuff up to make her look good isn鈥檛 helping anyone
Also Babs is straight up not one of the best fighters on the planet she鈥檚 not even one of the best fighters in the batfam like 馃拃 embarrassing I鈥檓 sorry I鈥檓 a Babs stan but this is out of a bad fanfic. She鈥檚 an ok fighter but she鈥檚 an unparalleled hacker and tactician ect ect like she鈥檚 a good gymnast and stuff but honestly she wasn鈥檛 at her best as batgirl and that鈥檚 ok. Cass & Helena (and maybe Steph) are better fighters than her.
Literally all of the bat boys save for Duke are consistently better fighters than her. It鈥檚 ok. She鈥檚 not the best fighter. It鈥檚 ok.
If you want her to be the best at something let her be Oracle again 馃檮!!!!
Also it鈥檚 bs to be like Starfire the best warrior on another planet like she鈥檚 one of the best in the galaxy you two are not the same 馃槶 don鈥檛 play

Some Toxic Dickbabs moments that happened in canon. (LONG POST)
so i saw a dickbabs shipper talking crap about dickkory saying they're the most toxic nightwing ship? and they also claim dickbabs is the most healthiest ? it's ironic considering I've seen many dickbabs comic panels where dickbabs is being toxic towards each other plenty of times in the canon comics. Looks like Tom Taylor wants to brainwash people and make them believe that Dickbabs is such a perfect healthy loving couple since day 1, when that hasn't been true at all before he was put in charge of the nightwing comics to write dickbabs wattpad fanfiction in the book every single issue, this ship has done nothing but damage both characters even in tom taylor's run Dick is turned into a happy go lucky himbo who is incapable of accomplishing anything on his own without being monitored and babysat by barbara 24/7.
Anyways let's proceed with dickbabs history of being a toxic couple.
Remember those times where Barbara physically and verbally assaulted him when he was only trying to be nice and polite. She yelled at him, called him stupid, a crybaby and beat him up.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also they keep calling Kory a victim blamer for something that happened once in over 30 years ago but ignore the fact that Babs has victim blamed him and slutshamed him multiple times in the modern comics when he was sexually assaulted and raped by Tarantula and when he got shot in the head by the Joker.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dick just got raped by Tarantula and was traumatized by what happened but instead of comforting Dick, she has the nerve to mockingly say Dick likes his rapist. her jealousy always clouds her judgement.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm sorry But Barbara is canonically a victim blamer and a slutshamer. Don't forget how she also insults and slutshames other women like Helena when she gets jealous of the other women in Dick's life. She called dickhelena a cheap one nightstand even though Dick clearly told Helena he doesn't do casual sex and and she mocked Kory and refused to help her on a mission when her people were dying.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
so yeah let's get back to her history with victim blaming Dick. She victim blamed him again after he got shot in the head and had an amnesia and when his memories was restored, she lashed out at him for forgetting about her when he had an amnesia.
Tumblr media
And remember that time when Bludhaven was burned down and Dick lost his apartment, he came to Barbara to ask if he can stay at her place but she kicked him out of her apartment the next day. She's totally fine with him being homeless but dickbabs shippers claim babs has always been very loving and supportive towards him while calling Kory a slut.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even in elseworld stuff she treats him like garbage. Aside from cheating on Dick with Batman and getting pregnant with Batman's baby in the BTAS universe, she's also very emotionally abusive to him in comics where dickbabs shippers brag about them having a kid in it like in whiteknight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Barbara was always out there acting like a toxic judgemental domineering bitch in the modern canon comics, Barbara behaved like this consistently for more than 30 years but Kory is the one we should crucify over something that she did only once from 30 years ago 馃檮 Did they crucify Barbara too when she was ableist to Cass and called her stupid because she can't read.
Tumblr media
And they call Kory a sexual assaulter? Because she kissed him when they first met. Did they forgot that Kory was an alien, she was clueless about Earth laws when she first came to earth, she didn't know that you're actually not supposed to kiss someone without their consent, she had no clue that it was considered inappropriate and she kissed him not to sexually assault him but for her to learn english. Her people can learn other languages through kissing and Kory didn't learn anything about Human law until she officially joined the teen titans, so you can actually excuse her for her behavior what's not excusable is Barbara who was a human being who studied law for years, but still has the nerve to commit a sexual crime. As always, She violated Dick's personal privacy, she put camera on his apartment so she can enjoy watching him naked without his consent. Look it up on google the crime is called voyeurism. Barbara would considered a creepy criminal by human law. I'm not surprised considering I always think of her as a type of gf who has no respect for her partner's personal space especially when she's Oracle, She never respected Dick's privacy even in tom taylor's run, she keeps monitoring his every move in her computer, she always invades his personal space. Dick is trapped in this relationship. It's not a good relationship if you constantly watch your partner's every move and if you keep following your partner around like a dog wherever he goes.
Tumblr media
Many people think Dickbabs is such a healthy because of Tom Taylor's run. I think for someone who is a huge dickbabs shipper like tom taylor it's expected he's gonna try to convince people to believe that to to sell his favorite ship but in reality even in Tom Taylor's run Dickbabs relationship is pretty toxic and forced. It's toxic when your partner doesn't respect your privacy, when your partner constantly stalks and keeps an eye on you on every single thing that you do, when you wanna talk to other people but she's there lurking in her computer listening to your conversations with other people, when she puts a camera on your mask so she can always see what you see and hear what you hear, as if you're not a real human being who needs your own privacy, and constantly follows you around like a dog, like Barbara does to him every single issue. It really is a sign of an abusive relationship when there is no respect. How is Tom Taylor's Nightwing good when the book keeps destroying Dick's independece by having Barbara stuck to him like a leech 24/7 . The book is called Nightwing but Tom Taylor turned it into a Nightwing and Batgirl fanfiction series where 90% of the time Dick hasn't done anything on his own and where his IQ is chopped off in half to prop up Barbara as the smarter woman in their relationship. Dick can't even handle his own missions without constantly being babysat by Barbara in her computer like a sidekick who needs to be watched 24/7.
Poor Dick he became Nightwing to stop being Batman's sidekick and be independent only for Barbara to take away his independence and treat him like a sidekick again. Dickbabs has always been a toxic ship in any kind of form.
and don't forget Tom Taylor himself is a toxic misogynist slutshamer. He keeps throwing shade on Kory on twitter by liking comments that slutshame her on twitter
Tumblr media
You know what would be the best way to fix dickbabs? is by letting them move on from each other! Let them grow tf up and move forward in life outside this relationship.
Babs is an anchor that brings him down whenever she's too involved in his life and same with Babs because do dickbabs shippers even care about Barbara. I haven't seen any barbara fan complain about barbara not doing anything on her own other than chasing dick around like a dog in his comicbook every single issue.

I saw this video and I couldn't agree more of what they said.
I'm sick and tired of dickbabs. It's being shoehorned everywhere, I can't read Nightwing's solo without Babs showing up every single issue, Tom Taylor turned his solo into a Dickbabs shipping book.
Batgirls is supposed to be about Stephanie and Cassandra's book but Babs took their spotlight and forced her relationship with Dick in it too.
DC vs Vampires is supposed to be about DC universe as a whole fighting against vampires but they centered it around Dickbabs in the end.
and now in the Titans series and even in Starfire's tales of the titans solo issue Babs shows up even though she's never been a titan character???? And Babs has to take up space, why?? Why can't I read a book solely about Starfire, why do they have to share her book with Babs, don't we have enough Barbara Gordon in the comics especially in Nightwing solo.
Starfire and the Titans never needed to be monitored by Barbara, they never needed her help to accomplish their own missions since 1980 but ever since DC and Tom Taylor started pushing dickbabs , she now keeps showing up in Titans and every single other book where dick shows up, she's now attached to dick's team 24/7, is this to keep closer with dick as much as possible?????
Babs is now in charge of Dick's team??? She's now the tech support of the Titans ?? What about Cyborg??? Why does Cyborg seem useless in the Titans book. Why is it that he no longer does most of the computer/tech stuff for the team. You're gonna sideline Cyborg who is the actual Titan tech support and the actual information broker of the group over a non titan character like Babs???
Seriously. Babs has become the female version of Batman, where writers are too obsessed with her and keep shoehorning her in other characters books and stories. You don't see writers forcing Starfire and her relationship with Dick in Batfamily books so why force Barbara and Dickbabs in Titans books.
Look I know dickbabs is currently in a relationship right now because writers keep forcing the two but Babs doesn't always have to follow dick wherever he goes and she doesn't always have to show up in books where he shows up. It should not be a requirement. Let Dick be on his own with other people for once.
You can be in a relationship with someone but still do your own thing with other people at the same time. Like in real life does your partner always follow you wherever you go 24/7? no right?! Because everyday we wake up and go to work , your partner has their own job and own workplace too seperate from yours so why should Babs always be around Dick as if she have doesn't have a life or a job of her own, can't she do anything without Dick nowadays????
I don't like how her character has become reliant on Dick, it's like she can't exist without being around him or mentioning him. Everything she does revolves around dick. She even left her own life in gotham so she could stay with Dick in Bludhaven every single issue, and even when she goes back to Gotham temporarily like in Batgirls she still finds a way to bring up her relationship with dick like that time in Batgirls where she has to mention she is wearing Dick's underwear??????
Tumblr media
Set them free of this relationship for once DC smh

how they keep insisting on dickb**? its weird; I still hope they give dickkory something and I sound selfish but I dont want any other romance for Star (ps: I wouldn't call dickb** romance it has 0 story/substance/feeling) I'm being selfish cuz dickkory is ROMANCE I dont want see it more trashed by dc than it already is; even tho Kory had bfs n I dont mind a unserious bf I always can see Dick being the only one for her, I hope they don't do anything non-dickkory romance for Star sorry Im selfish
I can understand that honestly. Dickkory is such a great ship and it's so sweet and romantic. I honestly can't imagine the two of them with someone else. They are soulmates.
I feel like Dickbabs is around for another way to make sure Dick stays with the Batfam. Dick is a very popular character and keeping him around gives an extra reason to read Bat books.
Also add in the people who have nostalgia and love for Dickbabs from Batman the animated series. It isn't the first or only time DC uses the love for that show as a way to gain popularity. Just look at Harley Quinn and having Kevin Conroy voicing Bruce in many different projects before his passing.
But I feel like they keep him not only from Kory but also from the Titans as well. They are also family to him but they almost always refuse to have him talk or reference them unless it's in Titans books.

I'm done with the infamous Devin Grayson run and... I'm not really going to reshash what's problematic about it, I think we all read it... Just... I'm frustrated.
I was pretty mid on Babs and Dick before that, I now never want to see them together again. I'm now actively not shipping them anymore as opposed to being: "they are okay, this is cute !" Which is a problem considering the ending (sorry dickbabs shippers i know I shouldn't but I can't)
I'm a fanfiction reader, we all read angst fest but I really wish it was handled better.
There were some good ideas in there, the renegade arc was interesting (until it got boring) and Dick as a mentor is always really really fun and he is an extremely good mentor. The first case all around the world was very fun. It changed a little bit from the usual formula.
Now for the one thing that makes me furious, why the fuck did she think it was a good idea to end her run with having Dick saying he "takes responsibility for Tarantula and Blockbuster" Blockbuster, that's fine but Tarantula? He doesn't owe her any of his responsibility and considering this is part of the reason they broke up (Babs literally tells him: "he let himself be kissed by her" when they broke up), this is even more infuriating and he is essentially saying to Barbara about theirs relationship, it's just felt weirdly Victim blamey.
Also I would like to absolutely call bullshit on the fact that nobody was here from either the Titans or the Batfam after his apartment blew up, this was on live tv !!!!!!!!!
I'm done with it !! Outsiders here I come !!!!!!! The Dickroy of it all, seems to be chef kiss and I'm here for it, always.
