Damian & Duke Bonding? There are not enough of those in the world. Maybe this planet would be a better place if there was.

Duke: I'm heading out.

Bruce: Where?

Duke: Just hanging out at the museum with my friends.

Bruce: Good, then you can take Damian.

Duke: What? Why?

Damian: I have a paper due on Friday.

Duke: Ugh, fine.

Bruce: And remember, Duke, you're older so it's your responsibility to keep him safe.

Duke: Whatever.

[at the museum entrance]

Duke: You know the deal. Just stay out of my way.

Damian: Not to worry, I don't need anyone to supervise me.

Damian: *snatches his ticket and walks away*

Duke: That's a relief.

[dinosaur exhibit]

Duke: ...Yeah, then the principal said—

Duke: *sees Damian climbing a T-Rex skeleton*

Duke: Hey, look over there!

His friends: *look the other way*

Duke: *flips over the dinosaur and grabs Damian*

Duke: *puts Damian down and runs back to his friends*

Duke: Whoops, thought I saw something. Guess I was mistaken.

[solar system exhibit]

Dre, snickering: Uranus. Get it?

Riko: Oh yeah. Hilarious.

Duke: *sees Damian dangling upside-down from a planet on the ceiling*

Duke: I'm getting a phone call, one sec.

Duke: *grabs a ladder and meets Damian*

Damian: Can I help you?

Duke: *sighs and slings Damian over his shoulder*

[biodiversity exhibit]

Izzy: ...So I told my brother that, but still...

Damian: *leans over a railing*

Duke: *slips away and pulls Damian back before he falls*

Duke: You're lucky that shark's not real.

Duke: *goes back to his friends*

Damian: I would have simply adopted it.

[engineering exhibit]

Dax: Guys, check it out.

Dax: *launches a baseball catapult*

Duke: *catches the ball before it hits Damian*

[bathrooms]

Duke: *leaves the bathroom*

Duke: *sees Damian entering an exhibit under construction*

Duke: This kid just can't quit.

Duke: *tackles Damian away from a falling beam*

Duke, annoyed: You're welcome.

Damian: Tt.

[food court]

Duke: I'll take a ham sandwich and a cookie.

Steph, the cashier: Here you go.

Duke: *sits down by his friends*

Steph: Next!

Damian: I will have a vegan burger, apple juice, and cookie.

Steph: Sorry, kiddo, we just sold our last cookie.

Damian, disappointed: Oh, alright. I'll just take the burger and juice.

Duke, to his friends: I'll be right back.

Duke: *hands Damian the cookie*

Duke: How's the paper coming?

Damian: I believe I've gathered what I needed.

Duke, ruffling Damian's hair: Cool, just stay out of any more trouble.

Damian: Tt.

Duke: *goes back to his table*

Damian: *pulls out his notebook*

Damian, writing: Of the many things at the Gotham Museum, the one that stood out the most is my big brother...

Duke Thomas hcs

- he has literally no idea what he wants to do when hes older, part of him wants to be a social worker like his mum, or a paleontologist, or a film director, but he kinda flips between possible careers every month or so. (rn its poet)

- he goes to see local bands all the time, around one a week, most of the time with the other we are robin kids (or the robin-squad as they’ve been lovingly nicknamed), Riko, Izzy, Dax and Dre. And he always tries to make Dax’s bands shows when ever they get gigs

- hes actually in a poly relationship with the rest of the robin-squad. It started with Duke and Izzy then Riko joined and Dax and Dre who were already in a relationship joining once Dre had stopped being emotionally constipated

- Duke, Steph and Babs have been banned from being on trivia teams together because they always win by a landslide.

- Dax has always been weird about Duke being fostered by Bruce and avoids going to the manor at all costs, Duke knows why but hes not going to mention it until Dax feels comfortable.

- of all his partners he had the worst relationship with Dre, after the constant fighting while in the we are robin movement together they tried to avoid each other and at least be civil while in their relationship. Eventually their other partners caught on and started trying to get them together. It took a while but one day Duke came over with a rocky dvd and said ‘you like boxing, I like films, d’ya wanna just see if we can go the whole movie without fighting??’.

- The next day all of their partners phone wallpapers were changed to a photo of Duke leaning against Dre's shoulder, both asleep with the rocky credits playing in the background.

- Duke has a list in his notes app labeled ‘shit list’ number one is Izzy's brother, two is joker, three gnomon and for a brief period of time number four was Dick but they have since made up (via a pokemon cards game)

- Cass was the first person Duke introduced his partners to in the family. shes probably the person hes closest too of all the bats and the first one he considered family.

- after a really annoying case or a busy week Duke and Cass will meet on the tallest building in Gotham and just sit together, talking, watching the sunset, sharing the blackmail on their siblings, or just hanging out on a tall building with some pastries (Duke usually gets a danish while Cass gets a chocolate croissant)

#anyone got ideas on the Duke x Riko x Izzy x Dax x Dre shipname?#idk why but i decided they would be cute together and i want to write all the fics but i dont like writing lol #duke thomas #we are robin #batman #cassandra cain #riko sheridan #izzy ortiz #dax chill #dre cipriani #i refuse to believe that the robin-squad arent friends anymore #they are in love your honor #duke and dick play pokemon together and you can pry this hc out of my cold dead hands #i hope this was all in character #if anything wasnt please tell me #polywar

I can’t believe there’s people who say Duke is straight when the first time I read we are robin I looked at Dre and immediately said: oh this is could be some 50K rivals-to-lovers slowburn shit

#DuDre shipper but even though that will never ever happen I still believe Dre is gay #because he is also having a sloweburn friends-to-lovers with Dax #send tweet #leo says shit #duke thomas #dre cipriani #i cannot remember the spelling of his last name for the life of me

Robin Chronology

??? Anyways so about a year into Batman we get this guy:

Dick Grayson, most iconic robin, anyways next robin-like character we get is Roberta the Girl Wonder

She lasts a single issue. A few years later it’s revealed that Bruce was the first Robin

Then Lance Bruner gets adopted by Bruce due to an arrangement the Bruners had with the Waynes. He dies in his debut appearance

and then in just over a year, Jimmy tries to prove a point so he becomes the next Robin

and after all that basically the next things basically stay the same like the next circus boy, who tried a different costume and different names before having Dick’s blessing to use the name

wait that isn’t canon anymore? uhh anyways the next robin hates rich people. Wait you’re telling me that that didn’t happen, so well anyways what apparently happens is this next robin

Next Robin is this dork

so things are going fine but then in a ridiculously convoluted plot happens that really should’ve treated this next Robin better.

So anyways Tim’s back as Robin, but now super duper depressed which makes the super white boy all angsty. But enough about him because the new robin is about to be introduced Batman’s biological son raised as an assassin.

Before the next more official guys, there was a Batman Impostor named Charles Nigaff who had a group called Batman’s Soldiers which consisted of Krunch, La Loca, Bookworm, and 3 Robins

Right before the next thing is some weird Scarecrow plot so the next Robin is kinda Selina. But anyways it was all mind tricks and illusions apparently

then there’s the We Are Robin movement

then they introduced the “first robin” but either way she’s at least the second (cause Bruce was the first)

there’s also Jarro

and Carrie Kelly was set up for Something in main Earth but apparently plans fell through and then there’s Maps Mizoguchi

there’s also the multiverse, alt timelines and alt future versions

#andre cipriani #see bc i hc her vigilante name as 'falcon' which is actually the female term (males r called tiercels)#then it just snowballed. andre is like textbook egg idk how to explain it but he looks like every 'before' in a transition timeline #genuinely i think transitioning would solve at least 80% of his problems #dc #duke thomas #dc comics #we are robin #batfam #anyways i think shed go by just dre at first then dreina (short for andreina) then maybe francesca #as like an homage to her father (gianfranco) & also it means 'free' which is. nice #also she & shug r wlw 💕

Everyone who has ever, even slightly, been Robin

*In official, DC-endorsed media

Total: 98 (i think)

FYI:

my definition of a ‘Robin’ is extremely vague. For example, I’m counting Lois Lane because she went to a costume party as Robin, and I’m also counting ‘Boy’ from Batman: the Return of Bruce Wayne because he had the domino mask paint and was clearly a stand-in for Robin. Et cetera.

They’re organized chronologically by their first appearance as Robin

Also this is heavily dependent on DC Fandom Wiki, so please let me know if I missed anyone or if anything is inaccurate

KEY

Red = actually Robin for a significant portion of time (more than a few in-universe days & more than one issue/episode/movie/etc)

Italics = was never Robin in main continuity (i.e. Earth Two [before Earth One existed], Earth One, New Earth, and Prime Earth)

polywar dating hcs

- I mentioned before that I think Izzy is the one who thinks everything is a date, her preferred love language is quality time so for dates Duke always likes to walk home with her or just sit in a park together

- more often than not they will lose track of time and talk for hours. they never seem to run out of things to talk about either, from that movie Duke watched last night to the dumb meme Izzy scrolled past this morning or even a surprisingly heated debate over the objectively best pokemon (eelektross vs lucario)

- they'll always end up talking in the weirdest places too (like the middle of a roundabout or the elevator to a fancy hotel neither of them have heard of) but they don't really mind or notices when Izzy's hour 2 of her 'why all her partners need to binge watch cowboy bebop on their next movie night' rant or Duke ranking all his fictional crushes (Storm is number one followed closely by Ben 10)

- Duke and Dax have the most similar music taste of any of the group, most of their dates are looking around music store (cuz when your in a poly relationship of five at least one of you collects records) or going to live gigs together. Duke has consistently been to every single frown clown gig (except a few that he missed due to missions). Dax usually invites any of his partners in the audience onto the stage during the last song of every show and at this point any frown clown fans or regulars in the gotham hardcore scene recognise at least one or two members of the polycule.

- even tho Duke and Dax have the most similar music tastes Duke still prefers metal while Dax prefers punk music.

- Duke and Dax's first kiss was definitely at a batman's @#$& concert

- Dre and Duke butt heads most out of all the polycule, they don't really connect in the same way as the rest of the partners, and didn't really consider themselves dating until the polycule had been around for about a year.

- despite this they did work hard to improve their relationship and ended up falling for each other just as they fell for their other partners.

- Duke and Dre's dates are usually in the gym or doing some kind of physical activity, it started with Dre teaching Duke boxing when they were both robins and later Duke showed him fighting combos he practiced with Cass, eventually they started some different sports like rock climbing and trampolining (idk if those are considered sports tho) they always have this level of competition between them that they don't really have with any of their other partners. but it's sorta Duke and Dre's weird brand of love

- i think it was in my last post i mentioned that Duke has the weirdest date ideas, well Riko isn't far behind.

- a lot of the time their dates start out normal. they just rarely stay that way.

- like the time when they planned on having just a regular lunch date and ended up with them in metropolis, head to toe in superman merch and getting storage looks on the bus back to gotham. or that time they tried to recreate iconic kisses from movies and they ended up stuck on the roof of the wayne enterprises building with Harley Quinn and a box set of Powerpuff girls.

- people outside the polycule never believe them when they explain their dates to them but Izzy, Dax and Dre have gotten used to the special brand of chaos that comes with Riko and Dukes dates

#this started as me trying to figure out if duke would like rock climbing and it spiraled so hard #duke thomas #izzy ortiz #dax chill #dre cipriani #riko sheridan #polywar #we are robin #the signal #batman #i also got thoughts about izzy doing her homework while dax tinkers with his grapling hook designs #they arent saying anything #just doing seperate things in eachothers company #i think they have that kind of 'we can sit in silence for hours and its never awkward' sort of relationship

Bittersweet AU:

The Robins that Bruce is now working with Is the 'we are Robin' groups so it's Isabella Ortiz, Riko Sheridan, Daxton Chill, Dre Cipriani, Troy Walker, Darcy Thomas, and Shug-R. And Duke of course, as the Signal.

By now they are all between the ages of 18-21, most attending Gotham U. Despite them coming from all walks of life, they are incredible tight-knit. They formed an on campus group called "Be a Hero Everyday" to promote doing acts of kindness and standing up for those around you. They'll host fundraisers, and do community service and encourage others to spread the good. It's was Isabella and Riko's idea

The We are Robin movement could fit perfectly into both UTRH and Battle for the Cowl in terms of world building but would so radically change the stories in question its wild.

Okay, I see what you mean, but consider this: WAR first appearing during, well, War Games would be also very apt.

Dre Cipriani is an orphan of a mafia family. Izzy Ortez is someone who got backlash after refusing to join a gang - and a conflict with her brother who did join. Duke's parents - one of whom is a first respnoder, and the second is social worker - suddenly disappear as the city is thrown into chaos. Daxton Chill is very disturbed by appearance of a gang called Jokers - even as Joker himself is not heard from for quite some time. Riko and Troy get into it when their school is attacked by men gung ho on gunning down an upperclassman, and so the duo, in turn, throw Molotov cocktails on their car, trying to give Darla time to run (unfortunately, it only gives her so much time as to be assassinated in a classroom instead of a school hall). Shug-R gets into it by deleting footage with Riko and Troy on it, and deleting them from school files, so they won't be found by gangsters.

They maybe don't defeat Black Mask, but. Duke finds his parents, Dre discovers why his parents were killed, Izzy saves her brother, Dax finds out who put Jokers up to it in the absence of actual Joker, Riko meets Batgirl, and Troy is just chilling. Doesn't blow up either.

By flapping the butterfly wings, We Are Robins prevent Orpheus from going into Black Mask's trap - and Steph went after Orpheus too, so Sionis is not getting his hands on her either. So - there's no such thing as Black Mask disguised as Orpheus finding out Batman's plan. Gangs are united under Orpheus pretty peacefully. GCPD arrests them. No riots, no escalation, no Clock Tower blowing up unless Black Mask is going to do it himself.

Which he tries to do, but Spoiler and We are Robins stop him. The end.

As for the UtRH, so if there's - look, so the assumption above is Jason killed Joker offscreen, and Black Mask paid to create Jokers for even more chaos and destruction, to distract vigilantes from seeing the pattern, the bigger picture. He's a clown because they're exactly how Robins find him out. But anyhow. I know I did it like this because I need a reason for Dax to be included but here it is. Jason put Joker under ground off screen. He's like. Stable and shit. He's staying the hell away from Gotham. No UtRH. And seeing as the massive losses both in people killed, arrested, property destroyed or sized, post-War Games Gotham is very much a different landscape here. Bruce lobbies for changing the way city institutions work, giving young people better opportunities for school and higher education studies, or professional education, more employment - lemme be clear, it's not him personally sponsoring the students and personally hiring them to Wayne Enterprise, but the city. He's just lobbying the changes. He's lobbying not just politicians and officials, but also business. Educated employees are more productive employees. And healthy employees, employees with enough (paid!) rest, with childcare. Anyhow. Gotham is going like Scandinavic model +/-. It helps that businesses and business owners who are too stubborn to keep up with the times - there's someone who hostile takeovers them. Or they are just losing their business. Or arrested for tax evasion. Unknown to each other at first, it's not only Bruce who's after it but also Talia al Ghul. So Bruce's main focus is on economy of Gotham and its institution. He's not being Batman anymore.

So yeah, Jason is staying the hell away. Somewhere on a beach. Meditating and doing yoga.

As for the rest: It's not that there's suddenly no crime, but it's different crime. Cass is on it. Although Barbara - despite the Clock Tower not being blown up - left to found Birds of Prey with Black Canary, Cass is assisted by Shug-R on the comms and computers. And Robins are officially taken under her bat-wing. They didn't disband completely - no way in hell Riko would lose on a chance to work with Batgirl! The Batgirl, for her! Duke, while he found his parents, still needs to figure out who poisoned them with Joker toxin and how to cure them. Izzy is trying to escape her mom. Dre wants to do good things to compensate for the things his parents did. Dax is in for the friends he made along the way. Troy, as usual, is just chilling. Spoiler is with them all the way, too, struggling to redeem herself for the failed plan.

At the same time, Tim joins up with Titans - it doesn't matter much, Gotham has its share of Robins. He's basically redunant there, while larger scale threats are more suitable for him, so he's like, a little bitter? But he deals and doesn't throw tantrums like with Damian.

Hmmm Bruce with his main battlefield being the market, and basically no time for Batman - well, he technically is on call for big scale threats Justice League deals with. But. They don't need him when they confront Darkseid because there's a guy who showed up kinda out of nowhere and assists them. The guy has no code name, his suit is... pretty much just basic armor and a red helmet. Although good armor. And he has moves on him, and good, quick thinking. He fills in the Batman niche in their group pretty nicely. The only one who knows his identity is Green Martian because he read his mind - the guy asked him to - and he was surprised, a bit distrubed, but he gave the go ahead for the rest of them to work with this guy. So that's what they do.

And, okay, so the confrontation with Darkseid ends with his defeat but not before the guy is hit with omega beam. He desintigrates before everyone's eyes, and Green Martian is - fuck. I need to tell Batman. Do I need to tell Batman? I have to, but I really, really don't want to.

But he goes. And tells Batman. That his dead son rose from the grave, and got himself killed again while helping them to deal with Darkseid. Batman goes nuts! He's like - no, that can't be true, but he checks the grave, and it's empty. He goes to Talia, or Talia gets the wind of it and finds him - and basically confirms it. And then he goes even more mad and insists that Jason Todd is not dead (again).

It will turn out that he's right - eventually. And while he's looking for his dead-alive son, he finds a very unexpected person who helps him, just a little guy but very misterious and full of knowledge of art and history which comes handy. And he's an ace with a sword. Bruce doesn't get why the kid is hanging out with him and basically his instincts are screaming to adopt him. He doesn't bring it up for some time because he's afraid to scare him away. The little dude, on his side, doesn't get why he's so freaking out about his former son. Didn't he dissapoint him? And Bruce is like - no, no kids of mine could ever dissapoint me so much I wouldn't want them back in my life. That's what being a parent is. And at some point, he finds out that this little dude is Damian. Who was heavily influenced by his grandfather, to the point when Talia decided to get out and take him to Gotham - he refused to go with her. She said that as long as he's ready, he can come to her, that she will take care of their future home for him, so that their lives will be more peaceful. But Damian is like, just got through his year of blood, and he realizes the fucked up nature of it all, and he's like - he's ashamed to desire safety, family, find his father. So that's the reason he didn't tell Bruce who he is and just helped him and traveled with him in incognito, trying to get at least some crumbs of his father.

So yeah, long story short, they bond, Bruce explains to him that no matter what he did before, it won't even make Bruce love him less, please come home with him when they find his older brother... So basically, Bruce adopts his own biological son.

And eventually, with their help, Jason Todd is brought back from the times, where - may I add - he kinda becomes responsible for the legend of Robin Hood, as in a prototype. But that' not here no there. And after he's brought back, he kinda visits Gotham? To see the big changes? And it would be rude to ditch Damian just after he helped to save him. And it would be nice to visit Talia. So - he visits Gotham, but he doesn't stay for long. He continues to unexpectedly assisst some heroes here and there, around the world, that's basically his main thing now. Like with Roy Harper and time traveling to save his daughter. Or Artemis Grace and finding her relique.

Main thing, there's no Battle for the Cowl. In Gotham, there's no Batman, but there's also no other Bat figure except Cass, so that's who gets called Batman, it's not like she woke up one day and started to call herself that - it's the people she protected. R-iko still remains her loyal fan, though. Duke discovers his powers and becomes Signal. Steph continues to rock it as Spoiler because you don't mess with perfection. Dre-b-Robin, Draxatax, Troy Wonder, Shug-R, they keep their aliases. So Damian is the only Robin-Robin among WAR collective. So there's no war betweeen them either. They deal with the Court of Owls together - Nightwing, Red Robin (Jason Todd, by the way!) and Robinman (I'm sorry, it's all I could think of for Tim) all come to assist.

I hope I didn't forget anyone.
