one thing about me as a batman fan is that im not 100% convinced his penis works very good. im completely fine with fanfic where hes horny as hell and fucks like a machine and all that but in my heart of hearts im like. this man has erectile dysfunction.
like first of all theres the psychological aspect, in the sense that that man is stressed the hell out and traumatized and paranoid and juggling like 600% more in his head than the average person, which im told doesnt usually contribute to great boners. so there's that part. getting the man to put down his schedules and business concerns and the three different cases hes working on in the back of his head and the updates he wants to make to the batmobile and all that shit. that guy is Distracted during sex. he loses his boner at least once a session because he starts thinking about killer croc or something and yeah hes freaky but not really in that direction, sorry. this is a thing that happens to him and is a known phenomenon to his partners.
and then second of all physiologically im not convinced that he hasnt mangled his penis to some degree in the course of all the training and crimefighting and whatnot. like even taking extra pains to protect it as im sure he would, all of the times that man has been exploded and thrown through walls and glass and all of the jumping off of buildings and swinging around he does?? i simply dont believe his penis has emerged entirely unscathed. you absolutely cant tell me that in the early days he didnt at least twice take a running leap off of something, misjudge his landing, and absolutely destroy his balls when he slipped and took a wrought iron fence full force between the legs. this must have happened. i know it to be true that this man has scars on his dick that he didn't ask someone to put there on purpose and i do kinda think it could eventually affect his sexual function, even aside from the impact of all of his other various and perpetual injuries causing him pain.
so what im saying is that my headcanon is that batman's dick game is weak as hell at least 50% of the time. what that dick do? today, absolutely nothing. tomorrow, who knows. which tbh i find kinda hot in a roundabout way actually, so. love that for him. sorry about your penis, batman.
he's just a little guy

This is the reason why batman editorial hated them and broke them up to this day because they were like this 👫 all the time at all given moments 25/24 holding each other's TWO hands instead of one like other normal couples. This is how they would have fought villains in Bludhaven together as a married couple literally like this 👫👩❤️💋👨
I saw a post of all the SuperBat golden age World’s Finest covers and I cannot fucking get over this one. Superman Clark bro what are you doing. Why are you trying to give Robin body dysmorphia 😭😭
Remember when Dick jumped off a building and tried to commit altruistic suicide, and Clark snatched him out of the air and was like, "Lighten up, lad."
Reminds me of when Dick jumped off a building and Clark snatched him up and was like, "Nightwing! I thought you were a suicide!"
And that reminds me of the other time Dick jumped off a building and Clark grabbed him and was like, "I've got you! I'm sure things seem tough, but this isn't the answer, man!"
And that reminds me of the OTHER time Dick jumped off a building when Bludhaven had been hit by Chemo, and Clark scruffed him and was like, "Get out of here, Dick. You're going to die."
And Dick was like, "That is sound advice that I'm absolutely going to ignore!"
I just think the common theme between these scenarios is interesting is all.

yj core four hugsss !!!!!!!!
I understand the appeal of writer!Jason Todd while he’s the Redhood but I don’t think YOU understand the appeal of writer!Jason while he’s a pre-teen Robin. That young man writes a field report like it’s a mystery novel, and like what is Bruce even supposed to say “Hey, chum… while the pacing of the report was very intriguing, I need you to be LESS detailed about the color of the suspects ‘emerald green orbs.’” No, he won’t!! because Jason may be a bit annoying but it’s a vast improvement from Dick “What happens with the titans is between me, god, and the emergency room on 34th ave.” Grayson who used to just write “fixed it :)” on cases he completed.
Just cracked open "Robins being Robins" and this is the first thing I see
(I legit said "what the fuck!" out loud) then I got curious to see the other variant covers and...
Stephs and Damian's are the only normal ones
I just wanted to read something before going to bed, and instead, your girl got attacked by thirst traps back to back.
Shoutout to the Jason Todd haters c.1988 they are everything to me <33
(((transcribed under the cut!)))
***Not a Jason Todd hater but I liked this one a lot too. Surprisingly insightful compared to most of the other takes
Dear Editor,
Don’t make a big fuss about Robin getting killed. Waste him, bury him, and get on to important things. Bruce and Dick Grayson should have been a team the whole time. Robin was a wimp. Don’t expect us to get all worked up. After you butchered Supergirl, we don’t care if there is a holocaust of all the DC heroes.
Life is cheap!

Dear Denny,
I heard some of what you are planning for “A Death in the Family” story line, including the phone-in number wrinkle and I didn’t want to take any chances whatsoever.
Kill him.
Your pal,

Dear Denny and Dan,
BATMAN #124 was important. I don’t think Felipe slipped. I don’t think anyone does. Yes, he probably deserved to die, but that really doesn’t matter, does it?
Jason has some thinking to do. If he lives, that is. If it turns out you decide to kill him, get a new Robin. I know a lot of people want Batman solo, but if he stays a brooding avenger forever, he’ll crack. He needs Robin. I’m not sure if that Robin is Jason, but Batman needs someone.
Sincerely,

yknow that thing kids do where they wake their parents up by staring at them in the darkness until they jolt awake to see a dark figure standing over them??
What a sweet little boy, would he a shame if smth bad happened to him.
dc writing modern jaybin be like “this homeless child is ontologically evil but worry not billionaire saint Batman will deign to attempt to train the criminality and devilishness out of him”
This !!!!
I feel like a lot of this comes from people who are uncomfortable with the whole “child soldier” concept and try to make it Less Bad by aging them up. But at the end of the day, Robin was designed as a vessel for child readers to imagine themselves as Batman’s sidekick. The whole concept of Superheroes is so impossibly ludicrous in the first place, I don’t think it’s necessary to try to apply real life morals to Every Single Situation. Let the nine year old fight crime in a silly outfit! It’s fiction!
i don’t really fuck with people making robin (any of them, really) much older then they were originally when they were introduced. ofc comics are sometimes vague about that sort of thing, but dick turned eight already living in wayne manor, so it feels weird when we have him start being robin at any older than 10. it cuts his time short when it was the longest period of batman history and also takes away the key factor that explains his actions and thought process as a child
time in comics is different than the real world, obviously, but we NEED to try and translate some of the irl context into the stories. a reader can’t understand the weight of dick needing to get out of batman’s shadow after being his sidekick for decades if in universe he was there for 3 years at best
Tim: I'm off the meds, I'm a new person now.
Bruce: they were antibiotics, you don't have a spleen. You're delirious with infection!
forever thinking about Dick’s reaction to Jason’s death
Bonus: Jason’s Batcomputer profile <3
i think writing about tim drake’s inherent, unbreakable awe of dick grayson and robin as a mantle and his views of heroism and selflessness that, even a decade on, are still so fundamentally shaped by what dick achieved despite his grief is making me mentally ill, actually
My roommate and I have been rewatching some comfort cartoons recently (ie Teen Titans and Young Justice) and it made me realize that there is a reoccurring theme in at the very least 3 TV show adaptations, which is anytime Dick Grayson is under just a little too much stress he immediately starts hallucinating. It isn't much, but it's certainly insane that it's happened 3 times (to my knowledge).
i’ve literally not stopped thinking about this
"bluh superman is boring bc he has basically no physical weaknesses he's completely unrelatable" YOU FOOLS YOU BASTARDS YOU IDIOTS his weaknesses is that he was raised to THINK and ACT and FEEL completely human!!!! The whole POINT is to explore what happens when you take a guy who mentally is a caring and kind and decent and conflicted and messy human person and contrast that with him having the all powerful abilities of a god it's about the CONFLICT it's about the TENSION it's about the DOUBLE LIFE it's about wondering if you can theoretically spend 24/7 saving people because you don't have to eat or sleep or breathe can you actually justify having a job or going to bed or falling in love or living a life!!! It's about being well known as being powerful so your public persona can never once slip never be angry never trip up or else you become a symbol of fear rather than hope!!! It's about having to also keep yourself in check every day and having to keep yourself of two minds and having to explain over and over and over again that you're not interested in dominance you're not interested in power you're interested in justice and mercy and help. It's about no matter what you are always subduing some aspect of yourself either your mind or your body depending on which role you have to play!!! And all of that is JUST on the introspective level!!! Superman is one of the most fascinating characters ever if you think he's boring imo it's bc you're being boring about it
not to be a killjoy but it's still crazy to me that it's considered mean to be like "maybe you should read / play / watch the source material before creating fanworks and diving into the fandom" bc every time i see somebody going "i havent played disco elysium or know anything about it tbh but uwu here's harry and kim kissing" idk maybe you should engage with it. maybe you should play the anti-capitalist surrealist game where you investigate the murder of a mercenary who led the gang rape of a foreign girl and process that for a bit? and then you can do cutesy mlm or whatever idc. but like at the absolute bare minimum you should understand what the source material involves otherwise we get the phenomenon of people joining a dragon age server and wanting content warnings for like, mage racism. like it's fine to ship and transform the genre into whatever but if you arent comfortable with discussions of the actual source content itself then maybe the fandom isnt for you and a different one is. peace and love.
