tim drake trying to explain something complex but he keeps changing the subject mid sentence and taking ages to circle back to his original point and the only ones who can follow the conversation are kon (used to bart), dick (used to wally), bart (used to tim), steph (also yaps), and babs (autism)

I was heavily inspired by this post, and I haven't stopped thinking of ghost Alfred running the Manor. I like the idea that Alfred died soon after Martha and Thomas (for dark reasons for me, but it could have been anything), but because someone needed to be there for Bruce (or some strange balancing act that a sentient Gotham played a role in), Alfred returned. However, while he tries to help Bruce, he's bound to the house as a ghost, rendering him incapable of personally going to find Bruce when he vanishes to train.

It's why Alfred's so tireless in helping the family, his last instruction from the Waynes was to protect their son. But he can never truly intercede, can't repair like a human might, he's just an echo trying to keep the family, the Manor, and the legacy together.

#I adore the idea not only because that parallels the way Dick tries to keep his own family legacy and history alive #And then later allows Alfred to play a better role in helping Jason deal with his own death #And it kind of explains why Alfred just goes with the things Bruce wants/fixates on just helping Bruce regardless of the cost #Sorry this could have been a reblog but I did not want to ramble on the thing in case #Alfred Pennyworth #batman #bruce wayne #dc comics #batfamily

Addition to the language post and fic: Bruce is a paranoid bastard, so all of his kids learn Kryptonian fluently (for multiple reasons).

Dick: my dad and uncle are on their way and I feel sooo baaad for you, man

“Bruce Wayne is actually a really good father and all his children are just like that” is actually my favorite flavor of batfam

Bruce: “You are on thin ice, Jordan. This is clearly my little boy.”

listen, i have no idea what’s currently canon in dc comics and i really don’t care to BUT regardless of what continuity we’re in, i think jason todd might be the funniest character of all time. just the biggest hypocrite ever and i’m obsessed. like, so many people have pointed out how crazy it is to be pissed off at tim for replacing him as robin when he literally replaced dick while dick was still alive, but then to go and parade around bludhaven as a murderous nightwing while dick is (again) very much still alive and THEN form a team with dick’s ex girlfriend and best friend??? jason todd is THE definition of “replacement” or what the fuck ever he calls tim and i actually find it so funny. stay crazy girl <3

Based on the way my father somehow independently stumbles upon, consumes, and likes all the media I've ever watched, I'm almost afraid of him finding Batman and eventually starting his own competing Tumblr page.

Harley, with a recently-renewed psychiatry degree: You might be getting carried away

Jason *firing into the ceiling*: Not without a fight

#Jim gordon #batman #dc comics #This was such an amusing panel #Batman doesn't know the context of why Jim's saying that he just goes with it #I find that fascinating #there is so little separation between bruce wayne and batman in this comic #Literally Bruce Wayne and Batman's opinion on Jim and working with him evolve together #bruce wayne #batman comics

I miss Vines so have some Batfam

While I'm sure bad guys in Gotham have learned over time that the Bats don't kill, that even after bashing your teeth in they'll flag down an ambulance or dump you unceremoniously at the ER, it's still a shaky trust.

One that is easily shaken seeing a child wielding a sword in the dead of night; nobody wants to learn how that is handled nonlethally. Or bad guys just surrendering one late night after running into an alley and Nightwing's standing over their unconscious buddy, holding the gun he wrestled away. They watch Red Hood break into the place they're robbing with a crowbar in hand and just decide they'd rather not chance it. They see a shadow that could be Black Bat and-- you get it.

“I need you to trust me again.” Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #1 with the classic trope of the mind control that can only be broken by the sound of a trusted voice. The idea that Bruce is desperate to keep Clark from hurting anyone specifically because it’s Clark’s “worst nightmare” and would destroy him–!

I will say that, as someone who takes care of an 8 year old, it is pretty hilarious to think about Dick fighting crime so young. Like there's just packs of animal crackers in the batmobile because Dick will get hungry during the middle of a case. And god forbid Bruce forgets to pack a water bottle for Dick because then he'll just hear a litany of, "I'm thirsty, I need water." I mean, I know Dick is usually depicted as more mature/responsible than your average kid, but it's so funny to think about Bruce and Alfred having to deal with some of those typical kid needs and behaviors.
