Everyone thinks that dick was the golden child when in reality it was Jason.

Clark: Bruce who was your favourite robin?

Dick: obviously it’s me?

Tim: it’s dick

Damian: I am superior robin, it will be me.

Bruce: it’s Jason

Everyone: WHAT?!?!???

Bruce: why are you so surprised? He didn’t jump on too my chandeliers which I had to replace each week

*everyone looks at dick*

Bruce: he didn’t drop out of school

*everyone looks at tim*

Bruce: I didn’t have to stop him from killing everyone who annoyed him

*everyone looks at Damian*

Bruce: in fact, he enjoyed school and handed all his homework in on time, we would spend hours in the library reading his favourite classics. He even helped Alfred with most of the cooking, He was my little boy

Jason: stop spreading lies, I hate you go away

Bruce: my precious little boy

The books are better!

Dick Grayson doesn't like reading stuffy classic novels the way his Jaybird does, but he watches movie adaptations so he can talk about them with his brother. Jason yells that he's the worst- but he's smiling, and Dick would do anything to keep his Little Wing grinning like that.

Happy Turkey Day btw

Quickie Question:

What are your favorite Dick and Tim moments?

😂😂🦃

Same to you!! <3

With them I'm just living for Tim being an annoying, adorable little brother and Dick being an annoying, sweet older brother right back

Nightwing (1996) Issue #25

Robin (1993) Issue #67

I'm just about to start crying with laughter. Their interactions just SCREAM Older Brother and Younger Brother behavior.

Robin (1993) Issue #74

But what I love about them is how openly affectionate they are. Dick loves Tim and takes care of him. Even with their funny banter, Dick's always the first person Tim goes to for everything.

Robin (1993) Issue #156

As soon as Dick got a call from Tim, he dropped everything to talk to him. He wasn't getting in, he was leaving.

My favorite Dick and Tim moments though? These.

Young Justice (1998) Book 1 Part 3

Nightwin (1996) Issue #6

"He's family. The closest thing to a brother I'll ever have."

"So excuse me if I get a little severe."

Tim loves, adores his big brother:

Gotham Knights Issue #33

"We've all been through a lot, big brother."

Red Robin Issue #12

Tim adores Dick so much. He idolizes him.

Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Scorched Earth

In complete seriousness, if someone ever said Dick wasn't the best robin in Tim's hearing range he would actually chew through their arms with his bare teeth.

His belief in Dick is unshakeable. His admiration has no bounds.

Young Justice (1998) Book 1 Part 3

Again and again Tim talks about good Dick is at everything and over and over Dick talks about how good Tim is. They really love each other from the bottom of their hearts.

What's special about Dick and Tim's relationship is what Tim says here: "You promised me that you'd do a quadruple somersault. And you delivered."

Dick will always deliver for Tim. Anyplace, anytime, he's ready to drop everything for him. That's how much Tim means to him.

I love reading about Dick and Tim's interactions because they tease each other in the funniest ways but there's almost an overwhelming undercurrent of affection in each of their voices. They're adorable.

Nightwing (1996) Issue #142

My favorite unhinged babies.

Hear me out. So Dick and Jason have always known languages. Dick from his time traveling with the circus and Jason from his time sneaking into the library and devouring all types of books when he was still on the streets.

And because of this, they could connect more easily due to their shared love of language. (Cannon can kiss my ass thank you very much.)

They made it a point to learn new languages together, so much so that they even passed Bruce in the number of languages they knew and spoke.

This is the driving factor that brings them close when Jason comes from the whole dead and resurrected drama.

The problem comes that they think everyone speaks the same languages. Like they'll be speaking English one minute then the switch it up to Swahili because they forgot a word in English and then carry on speaking in a different language until they forget a word again and change languages.

Bruce is the only one who can mildly keep up with them, but other than that his completely lost because of the shear speed the switch up the language.

It gets irritating when they're all at the dinner table and the two oldest forget the names of simple things. Like salt.

"Hey Demon spar. Pass the *snaps fingers as he tries to remember the name* the 鹽 (jim4) [Cantonese]."

And poor Damian is so lost so he looks to Dick and Dick goes "άλας (álas) [Greek]" as if that's any better. And the poor baby is just so confused, so he looks to his baba because his baba should know but his baba also looks confused. And Alfred, bless his soul knows Greek so he goes, "The salt Master Damian. Master Jason is asking for the salt."

And the whole table is also very confused and irritated by this whole exchange.

When the eldest two argue, it's explosive and physical and confusing because of the mess of languages, and the only time you hear a spark of English is when one has a black eye and the other has a nose bleed and their both laying on their backs and the only words exchanged is, "Fuck you dickface." and, "Love you too Jay."

They hug it out then throw the middle finger over their backs, limp out the room and opposite ways of the hallway.

All this happens in the full view of the family and nobody asks what words were exchanged, nobody asks what they were fighting about, they just sit shell shocked, each and everytime.

Except Bruce, who gets majority of what was said. He sits with his head in his hands and let's out a dispointed sigh. "All this ruckes because of cake." He stands so he can go call his therapist (Clark).

love the contrast between dick, who hates doing homework and would rather do anything else

vs jason, who genuinely enjoys doing his homework and doesnt mind skipping patrol for it:

also, jason was concerned about his grades slipping due to missed assignments, but his teacher (and his GPA) says he's doing great? his teacher's only criticism was that he needs to be more social!

he's probably the type of student who thinks a B is terrible tbh

Dick Grayson the sexy museum curator

It was so on brand. Enough with the fanon himbo bullshit, I wanna see more of Dick Grayson the (canon) history nerd.

Here's Dick being a bookworm and nerding out an issue earlier.

Here's Dick enjoying a date with fellow history buff Deborah Poulos. And Dick, who understands legacy and loss more than anyone, toasting to the recently passed Bart Allen with Wally West (and Wally and Roy Harper ribbing him for being a geek).

Maybe this is why he gets on so well with superhero historian Jesse Chambers.

History is so thematically important to Dick; he's the last Flying Grayson, the first sidekick ever and the first superhero to grow up. He passed the baton on as the first Robin, honored a Kryptonian heritage as Nightwing, was a mentor to a new generation of heroes as a Titan, and became the poster boy of LEGACY as Batman.

Sources: Nightwing #140-143 and Titans (1999).

HEAD CANNON HILLS I PERSONALLY CHOOSE TO DIE ON:

Fight me (lol)

Bruce Wayne

Gray Hairs are mostly in and around his temples and beard- also he won’t dye it

Asexual but not sex repulsed (it just feels right)

Definitely experienced with makeup, sure to cover bruises and stuff but also he definitely had a phase where he wore eyeliner cause why not

Autistic

Dick Grayson

Crooked nose

Speaks some Roma still but has forgotten most of it, which makes him upset

People deffo thought he was gay all through school, and they weren’t wrong…or right (he’s some form of queer)

Gymnastics teacher as a side job

ADHD

Oldest Daughter SyndromeTM

Jason Todd

I think that Jason runs a book club with a bunch of middle aged women, and they talk about classic lit

Theater Kid (gay)

Good with kids, reluctantly

Has freckles

Hair is caused by Marie Antoinette syndrome

Struggled with body dysmorphia after being revived

Keeps all his receipts (they’re in a box in the kitchen) and is stingy with money

Tim Drake

Wears a Medical Identification bracelet for the spleen thing (it’s recommended guys I looked it up cause I’m normal)

Has acne

Chased Batman and Robin around with that damn camera (I fucking love this)

Has anxiety

Bisexual (not a HC but I thought I’d mention it)

Would eat the coffee grounds

Listens to video game osts

(Bring the skateboard back)

Damian

Strong nose

Just very strong features generally

Giggles, or full on cackles but there’s no In between

I think it’s be cute if he became an art therapist or a vet

Autistic

Cass

Cuts her own bangs, they look horrible<3

Lesbian

Tired to dye her hair once (with Steph and Babs)never again

Steph

Grew up in crime ally (idk where she lived so I choose to believe this- this could also be the truth, again I cannot remember rn)

Freckles

Butterfly Clips

Bisexual

Curly hair

Alfred

Had chased multiple people off of Wayne Manors premises with his shotgun ‘

Got second place in a chili cook off one time and still hasn’t recovered

Extra:

Dick and Jason are big into Taylor Swift, Jason because I think he’d like ballads/the lyrics in songs and Dick because he’s Dick

Selina Kyle actually likes the Robins, and her and Steph got along well

Jason and Steph have really thick Gotham accents, which I like to think is like a Jersey accent, Jason’s shows up more when he’s upset in any capacity, Steph’s is always there and was never trained out of her

Dick has this weird accent where it’s very clearly not anything American, but it’s not not American, and it’s because he moved so much and was around people woth so many different accents that his voice never settled on one

Damian talks to himself in Arabic- Jason knows a bit of it

Cass is a messy eater (this isn’t cannon is it?)

I think it’s be funny to imagine Tim, Cass and Steph going to High School together

Steph was that one girl in the Cookie Monster pjs in high school, and Tim was like this weird goth/skater kid

[haroldhighballjordan]

Dick: “Hey, Tim! Wanna come to this thing with me and Babs? It’s called Drunk Shakespeare. A bunch of washed out theatre kids get wasted and try to perform Shakespeare plays. Tickets are only twenty bucks.”

Tim: “Why would I pay twenty dollars when I could just buy a six pack and go to Jason’s?”

Out of pure curiosity here;

So in terms of how he did in Gotham Academy or other education facilities Bruce sent him to for schooling, it was only say in one or two stories where he was the target of resident bullies while more or less canonically he was actually on the popular kids? Just wondering?

Yea! He was one of the popular kids.

Guys and girls from his class loved him and he was actually nominated to be class president

Batman (1940) Issue #202

He wasn't able to go through with it though because he was forced to miss the speech giving due to Robin duties but he would've undoubtedly won given the number of people who loved him.

Girls asked him out to dances

Batman (1940) Issue #156

They crushed on him hard for his good looks

Robin/Batgirl Year One Issue #1

He's a hit at first sight

Archie Meets Batman '66 Issue #2

He was extremely good at sports and you already know how star athletes are treated.

Batman (1940) Issue #162

It didn't really bother people that he was rich since he was cool.

Robin/Batgirl Year One Issue #1

He certainly had enough sway to get people to listen to him.

Detective Comics (1937)

Not to mention, his friends were fiercely loyal to him. He was popular because of his personality and clubs. He was also in the journalism/newspaper club too.

Detective Comics (1937) Issue #493

He also had friends from D&D

Robin & Batman Issue #3

My favorite part about his friends is that they loved to go on a bunch of random adventures like climbing cliffs and going to haunted houses.

Batman (1940) Issue #175

He did get bullied in a couple comics but considering how it happened to Bruce too, I'd say he didn't get bullied because he was unpopular. The bullies just like to feed off trauma and jealous. Actually in one of the comics, his friends get really upset when he gets bullied for being rich.

Batman (1940) Issue #192

They ambush him later but his friend hops in and helps him and this turns into a robin adventure where at the end

Batman (1940) Issue #192

But Dick Grayson is Dick Grayson for a reason. He was born to inspire. So he turns a bully into a good guy, saves the day, and upholds the dynamic duo's oath to make Gotham a better place!

Overall he was very popular. He was a star athlete, extremely good looking, rich, had a great personality, had a great relationship with teachers, held a lot of respect from the student body, was almost elected class president, and converted bullies into friends with his special power of being an overwhelmingly good person. He basically holds the same importance in his school that robin holds to the superhero community.

He's the kinda guy every that everyone knows, loves, and wants to be. The teacher's pet and class favorite.

Jason: Meh. Ms. Jane Austen did it better with Lizzie and Darcy. This looks like a cheaply produced melodramatic shitshow with two divorced actors playing as a couple. Hard pass. Solid 2/10.
