#and yeah none of the fab five is ‘scared’ of Batman are you kidding

[wallylinda]

Hate how often I see fandom accept the idea that Wally (and the rest of the Fab Five tbh) are like, intimidated by Bruce. The fanon that they’re all like “but he’s BATMAN!! He’s so scary!!” Or whatever. Bitch please! Wally served on the Justice League with this man for years! He was Dick’s teammate in his teenage years! The Fab Five would absolutely tell Bruce where to shove it with no hesitation, to them he is Just A Man. Just Dick’s Weirdo Dad. There is absolutely no way Wally is intimidated by Batman

Wally “I want you to know, you touched me because I let you touch me” West has the same amount respect for Batman as you’d have for a highly competent coworker whom you have to see every second Tuesday and want to strangle because if he keeps being patronizing during board meetings you’re going to climb over the table and drop kick him down the building. Barry and Batman are the cordial workplace besties; Wally is barely restraining himself from making snide comments at any given opportunity.

#listen I haven’t read many JL comics so I may be playing up the dynamic but I genuinley do NOT think Wally and Bruce would get along #like outside of a professional setting I mean. they’re decent teammates but the cognitive dissonance b/w them is....smth... #side note but I LOVE LOVE LOVE it when people yell at Batman #it’s my favorite comic guilty pleasure #because so many writers prop him up and then there’s the rightful panels that call him a dipshit to his face #and yeah none of the fab five is ‘scared’ of Batman are you kidding?? well maybe dick #that’s because dick has the world’s most complicated father-brother relationship with Batman god knows what the fuck is going on there #asks #dc
