where’s that panel of dick throwing himself across a couch and crying that bruce doesn’t love him anymore. while a ginormous portrait of him and bruce hangs on the wall behind him
the entire comment section is just a bunch of “omg fic recs!” genuinely can they just make a fandom of OCs instead of polluting batman+co content with made up abuse and assault
@turpentineseas
imagine being alfred up in the middle of the night and watching this kid repetitively relive his parents deaths, jumping from high points with no net, until he’s able to perfectly prevent something that already happened

i hate how people forget his intense belief in reform. just because he can be paranoid doesn’t mean he doesn’t think people change. he LOVES gotham city, you can’t have a guy love the city as intensely as he does and fight for it constantly… and have him be hate bitter angry guy
the biggest misunderstanding of the “better than batman” approach writers are taking with nightwing is that they’re forgetting that dick grayson is JUST as obsessive and determined
@smugglebumike
discredited the moment i hear “war games is good” of course abusive bruce diehards love the notoriously mischaracterized storyline that every writer has ignored and retconned since
@catboyamato
i have no idea anymore dawg 😭 my ONLY guess is the one time he dressed as a female nurse as a disguise and some med student flirted with him briefly??? which was NOOOT honeypotting. that’s just being misogynistic and equating women = less than / inherently sexy ???
@turpentineseas
FATHER DAUGHTER MOMENTS OF ALL TIME the realization that even though they’re fighters, he will still be tender with her, that SHE is able to be held gently…
@B4TMANSBFF
obsessed with the harvey one because of the bad gift implying there was a coin flip that ended with a good gift. harvey and two-face were both like well we HAVE to get him SOMETHING
@nightwingist
psychology major 🤝
and to be totally fair to dick here, bruce had just fired him from robin and basically told him he didn’t need him so he’s a bit justified !! and yeah kid’s parents just died of course he’d have abandonment issues
@RainyWombat
the nonchalance IS really funny and fair considering they live in a world where this happens all the time. i thought the grief era dick went through was really good but honestly i felt his initial reaction was skipped over and also anticlimactic
@RainyWombat
yeah :( i’m a dickbabs lover… when they’re written as themselves. honestly i’m hoping that if TT does engage/marry them, the next writer that picks them up will just. write it better LOL
@B4TMANSBFF
it’s genuinely baffling to me how misinterpreted batman gets. i’m absolutely convinced there’s a game of telephone going around with UTRH regarding the batarang bc when you read, its SO CLEAR within the text that it was his shoulder. neck scar jason designs make me roll my eyes
@catboyamato
there’s just ONE guy who really hates bruce wayne that infiltrated the ao3fandom to curse them. his brother? that singular guy who killed jason todd
@ROBlN93
it’s almost like dick was crafted to perfectly mirror batman and encourage his character to develop and shows a more protective & paternal side of batman we wouldn’t have otherwise. we have to be so real that batman isn’t fully adapted without robin by his side
@B4TMANSBFF
the way jason’s memory of it has the active explosion and joker laughing bc that’s the last he remembers vs bruce who only got there in the aftermath and joker was gone…….
@B4TMANSBFF
it was right before the awful war games plot. but there’s this issue where bruce and cass go to jason’s grave and he tells her about him, in turn, revealing how terrified he is of the same thing happening to stephanie. it’s one of my favorite issues with jason’s haunting bc of —
@B4TMANSBFF
bronze age era was great for shaping him as a person and not a hero. while i enjoy knightfall and looove NML the rapid combo really just killed everything outside of batman’s hero stuff. he feels so disconnected from the city now. i wish they would reintegrate gotham into…gotham
she has no additional hands but comes with grapple and batarang. both hands fit the grapple but honestly i had some difficulty with figuring out how the batarang fits. by far the largest batarang i’ve seen in any batman+adjacent figure
@B4TMANSBFF
how real the threat feels. it’s not just the misery of that boy haunting them, it’s how bruce sees him everywhere else, IN everyone else. it’s a perfect explanation of why hes so harsh w steph bc she’s just so similar to the dead son. such a damn shame war games was right after
@BallisticRooks
@Comrade_Waluigi
it’s decent but a significant step down imo. without spoiling, bruce becomes a much, much colder and cynical person. it’s easier to think of BTAS and TNBA as separate shows with the same origin.
not to keep repeating the same thing but it’s actually crazy that catwoman has an ongoing and isn’t getting covers for pride month OR hispanic heritage month . put some respect on her
@RainyWombat
it’s kinda morrisons style tho. they tend to write more focused on the longer, slower emotions. i mean bruce barely reacted to damian and then immediately skipped to the kid at the manor 😭
brutalia is cute and i do like it. but i don’t think it’s strange how some of yall want them together bc “its good for damian” . a very nuclear family point of view…
that’s all :) overall i definitely recommend her. out of my three cassandra figures, this one is definitely the sturdiest and much more affordable . must have for cass fans
