I Love It How We As A Fandom Collectively Invented The Concept Of The "batfamily" When In Reality It's

when your personality doesn’t match your aesthetic

The movies portraying Batman as a morally grey and dark character is so funny to me because one of the main central conflicts of Arkham Knight is that Batman is spiraling and believes he is becoming what he fears

because he IMAGINED killing Joker.

ONCE.

After being infected by Joker’s blood and after being poisoned by fear toxin. That’s what it took for him to even IMAGINE killing someone who has ruined his and other people’s lives and whose death would be justified in every conceivable way. He is so morally righteous he cannot even bear to imagine killing people, let alone doing it.

In comparison, the local “cinnamon roll” Spider-Man has actively tried murdering people many times

don't make me a killer!

Post- Robin face reveal but pre-Robin identity reveal, Kon sees Tim among the hostages of an armed bank robbery he just thwarted in Metropolis. He flies over to him fully intending on making fun of him for getting caught up in it.

“Hey, Rob…” realizes a second too late that Robin isn’t alone and he’s about to blow his secret identity in front of… Bruce freaking Wayne?? “…ing. Robbing. You. Yeah, um. Im robbing you.”

Tim blinks incredulous, “What?”

“Yeah, I’m robbing you right now,” Kon says, committing to this decision. “Gimme your wallet or I’ll… I’ll beat you up with my tactile-telekinesis. You too, Mr Wayne.”

You cannot, in any way, tell me they are not soulmates.

Jondami is the definition of "I love you in every universe."

Like look at them, they are with each other in every shape and form.

Reading Batgirl (The Cassandra Cain Run) is so weird bc it's such a good series but the early 2000s were not kind to the mainline Batman stories, so I'll be reading it and just vibing and then they mention a tie in to the main continuity of Batman, and I'm like noooo!!! I don't want to be reminded when this was written!!!!

“I dated Tim Drake and all I got was this lousy shirt”

Batfamily as actual things my family has said: Part 2

~

Stephanie: Cass isn’t just my best friend, shes my baddie from another daddy

Jason: . . .

Stephanie: Oh dear god why did I say that

~

Duke: What’s wrong with Tim?

Damian: The idiot took NyQuil instead of DayQuil by accident but refuses to sleep because he’s got work in an hour

Damian: He’d probably be fine if he hadn’t taken twice the recommended amount too

Damian: He’s gonna pass out any minute, wanna watch with me?

Duke: Hell yeah

Duke: Tim! How’s it going dude?!

Tim: I CAN SMELL THE RAINBOW

~

Dick: I’m really not that sunburned

Barbara: lobsters aspire to achieve that color Dick

Dick: At least my skin actually has color

Barbara: It’s not my fault I’m translucent!

I know he’s just lying to protect his secret identity but I’m sobbing over the idea of Jack Drake being the Tony Hawk of philanthropists in Gotham

They all yell at everyone else constantly about respecting their personal boundaries and shit but then they all turn around and track each other’s every move, like “i just wanna make sure you’re safe :(“

Love the idea of the batfam all being equally unhinged like Tim calls dick every two days with “why’d you take the cameras I use to stalk you down :(“ Dick is always placing trackers on everyone, Bruce just fucking shows up and watches his kids go about their daily lives, Jason’s got eyes all over the city to ping him if someone matching his families description pops up, Barbra is always listening and watching like love that shit
