Worst Batfam tropes(in no particularly order of how bad they are):

'Dick has a thing for redheads😏'

Selina bashing

Talia being potrayed as a bigot because she's a woc

Pervert Jason

Tim being nice all the time

Soft uwu girl Cass

Token normal Duke

Damian knowing a single damn thing on what romance is without extensive help from his friends and family

Stephanie getting reduced down to just being quirky and erasing her intense depth

Helena's canon traits being given to Jason instead

Batboys harems for both canon characters and self-inserts

My personal rough BAT fam timeline

Bruce Wayne was nine when he witnessed his parents was shot, he was 18 when he traveled the world (he grew up with other former JSA Masters teaching him in America but he was 18 when he went on a world adventure by himself)

He was 19 when he returned and when he first became "Batman. "

--------

Katherine Kane was in her late twenties when her husband was murdered in front of her and her daughter Bette, she remembered hearing stories of her late eldest sister Martha being murdered by Gotham but she had left way before katherine even knew enough about Martha.

------

Dick Grayson would be 9 years old when he was first taken in as a ward by eligible bachelor and Playboy Bruce Wayne celebrating his 21st birthday.

he spent 3 years training supervised with Batman.

Robin would be 12 when he was first allowed to go on patrol alone. Robin would be named after his mother's nickname for him seeing as he was born on the 1st of spring the Grayson's Little Robin.

Bette Kane and Catherine Kane became became bat girl and batwoman, when Betty was 11 (she's only a half a year younger than dick).

Barbara Gordon would be 20 when she first joined the scene as batgirl(she is roughly halfway between Bruce and Dick's age)

Time jump

At age 15 dick would form The Titans with some of his fellow peers Donna, Roy Garth, Wally. (In New York City)

At 18 he would leave the nest and recreate the Teen Titans dubbing the new Teen Titans

(and West Coast would have their own Titans made by Betty called "Titan's West Coast" in jump City

At 19 dick would be kidnapped by the al ghul family after he met a name Talia Al ghoul in meds class

At age 20 he will drop out of college.

At 21 dick would become Nightwing for the first time. Inspired by his "uncle" Clark, Bette following in her cousin's footsteps would become flame bird

Jason Todd would be taking in (12)

and later become Robin (at 13)

More at part 2

&---------------&

This is the first age the gold and silver age of the bat family.

Notable additions I had

The kanes being more prominent, Betty and Dick remaining having their friendship.(also simplifying the Kane's family tree for Bette)

Catherine was way too young to even raise Bruce but Alfred was also dubbed Bruce's godfather and first in line for Bruce's custody should his parents die.

Keeping the pre crisis origin of Barbara being younger than Bruce but older than dick but still an adult able to go to college for bachelor's degree..

Jason Todd having less than a year to convince Bruce to send him on to patrol.

Keeping the origin that Talia first met dick at college for med school (she's probably way older but they were in the same class as she took college a little later)

And I haven't even gotten to Tim yet.

Look out for part two

January 1996. Before it became a Harley Quinn thing, BIRDS OF PREY was Barbara Gordon's (barely) crypto-lesbian crimefighting polycule. After Babs was shot by the Joker and summarily discarded by the Bat-books, John Ostrander and Kim Yale reinvented the former Batgirl as Oracle, a computer hacker and information broker who for a while was Amanda Waller's second-in-command of the Suicide Squad. In 1995, Oracle became the costar of the leading homoerotic team-up franchise of the '90s, recruiting Black Canary and later various other superheroines for what was nominally a CHARLIE'S ANGELS type adventure series with Oracle as Charlie.

What's memorable about this initial special, aside from its horny Gary Frank art, is that Black Canary doesn't know who Oracle is except by reputation and as an electronically altered voice on the telephone. However, Dinah is going through a rough patch, so when she comes home to find an answering machine message from Oracle saying she has a dangerous job for her and has already bought her a first-class ticket to Gotham, Dinah decides she has nothing better to do but play out the string. Oracle has gotten her a fancy rental car and a swanky hotel suite, in which there's a throat mic and tiny transceiver that will let Oracle communicate with her (and surveil her, although Oracle already knows everything about her, from her recent breakup with Oliver Queen to her poor credit rating) 24/7:

So, Babs not only wants Dinah to do some legwork for her, but also dresses her up like a doll, watches her every move, and is a voice in her ear basically at all times. (The early BIRDS OF PREY stories often have scenes of Babs talking to Dinah from the bath or the hot tub, because that's the kind of series this is.) Rather than being creeped out by this weird stalker/control-freak behavior from an anonymous woman, Dinah says, "Sure, why not?" and decides to just go with it, even after Oracle starts bringing other women into the mix. (It seems pretty clear that when Dinah asks, "Are these your personal taste?" she's asking whether they're what Oracle wants to see Dinah in — which Dinah evidently doesn't have a problem with — rather than whether they're something Oracle herself would wear.)

This being a '90s comic book by right-wing homophobe Chuck Dixon, there are of course various no-homo evasions throughout, but I'm not sure how one is supposed to not read this as kind of gay. The second BIRDS OF PREY story, which teams Black Canary and Lois Lane (and is written not by Dixon, but by Jordan B. Gorfinkel, the editor of the initial special), has this little aside:

There's no way anyone writing something like this in 1995–96 wouldn't know how people were likely to read this. (Dinah does know that Oracle is a woman even in their first adventure, and while Babs typically distorts her voice when communicating with people as Oracle, it doesn't appear that she does that with Dinah.)

After a while, Dinah does become curious to know more about Oracle, but Babs refuses to let Dinah actually see her. Eventually, though, circumstances force the issue in BIRDS OF PREY #21:

Dixon's script for this issue contained the following note for artist Butch Guice:

The more drama you can squeeze from this the better. We’re going for The Pieta as opposed to anything that HINTS of the sexual. This scene is apparently RIPE for misinterpretation (or OVERinterpretation.) by some of our readers.

Mission accomplished — no lesbian implications here, boss!

So, as you can see, they have the "be gay" part down pretty well, and you may also be assured that Babs spends this series doing crimes. As a hacker, she of course commits computer fraud on the regular, breaking into restricted and classified systems (she's hacked the military GPS constellation so she can track Dinah, for instance), but she also routinely steals as much money as she needs to finance whatever equipment she needs and keep her girlfriend partner and their ever-growing list of attractive female cohorts in hot cars and fancy underwear. Vigilante superheroes generally take a pretty selective attitude about the law, but the number of felonies this once rather prim policeman's daughter and one-time congresswoman perpetrates honestly puts Catwoman to shame. The stories are frustratingly stupid and the art only gets hornier as it goes on, but what a good series this could have been if it were actually good.

I’ve been thinking about steph a lot lately (moss’s fault; thanks bestie) and it really is just so. like. early steph is so good to me because she so badly wanted to be part of the bats’ whole deal, and to be brought in and taught and accepted by them, and she ended up paying the cost for that — not because of her own shortcomings, but because of the failures of the people who were supposed to help her and look after her.

and then she became batgirl, and i do kind of love that for her, but i also wish we could take that one step further. i wish we could get “i was a bat, for a while, and then i realized i didn’t need their approval or support to do the things i want to do.” and like obviously she can still collaborate and work with some of them (cass) (only cass) but she can also learn who she is and who she wants to be outside of the symbol, and become better and happier for it. ykwim.

like i’m all for steph becoming a new nightwing, or huntress, or part of the birds, or whatever. but i’d also delight in her becoming something new and all her own, instead of following in footsteps. bc to me a big big part of what drove her in the beginning was doing her own thing, despite expectations, and whether it was good or bad — it could be either! it worked sometimes, it didn’t others — it was still interesting, and i miss it.

#text.tb #metaposting #ANYWAY #I don’t wanna take away from the batgirls squad that’s entirely not the goal #I just don’t want that to be her endgame. you know what I mean. do you. do you know.#she could continue to grow she could be so much more #that’s the thing about both Steph and Cass to me tbh like they can continue to grow and develop and be better than the people #who betrayed them and looked down on them and left them behind #if the writers would just DO IT. AND GO THERE.

Why are so many recent superhero games poorly advertised or just underwhelming?

All of these games had potential, but failed in some way or another: "Gotham Knights" poorly characterized and designed it's leads; "Midnight Suns" was a cheap grab at the customize your own character/your choices matter video game without properly fleshing out the lore or storyline (not to mention A LOT of the characters didn't need to be there); "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" was set in the same universe as critically acclaimed games known for their dark atmosphere and psychological outlook, only to forgo an interesting story for a wacky concept that disrespected many of the characters and wasn't properly set up; and "Marvel's The Avengers" felt a bit too reliant on the MCU for it's roster while delivering an underwhelming story.

Volenta, my beloved

I’m workin on an illustration for a strahd zine and I decided to draw Volenta. For the uninitiated, Volenta is one of Strahd’s brides, and like most DnD content, she isn’t given much depth or flavor aside from some weak sauce shit like, she doesn’t talk, she wears a mask, and she wears her wedding dress all the time,

Luckily, my DM is wonderful and went through the trouble of making a character that is so easy to love that I’m genuinely upset that she will need to die.

Our Volenta talks, and she has a lot to say. She’s a girls girl, she’s trans, and recently, my character has become very close with her….after a night of mushroom infused liquor. I’ve designed the frame to include the things our Volenta loves, sewing, taxidermy, cooking, and of course giving smooches to her husband and wife.

The tonedeafness of DC framing Kory as the more 'boring' and 'superficial' love interest for Dick in comparision to Babs when they keep insisting Dick////babs is twu wuv just because they were the first Robin and first Batgirl and when Babs is white while Kory's a whole ass black woman...Girl
