soo who wants to talk about the classist elements in Jasons Robin run regarding the fact that immediately after his death he was replaced by a rich kid and dc began to purposefully alter his characterization and run in order to make him out to be more agressive , reckless and incompetent
stell. s t e l l. give me headcanons about ur favorite robin.
JasonTodd loves trees. He didn’t have many friends growing up, and those he did havehe felt that he had to look after. (And look after people was tiring,especially with his mom.) Trees were good friends to have, as they didn’t askfor much. They sheltered him and tickled him with their branches. They listenedto him. Even when he didn’t speak, trees listened.
Jasonread The Giving Tree at the public library when he was five. He chucked itacross the room and his mom had to persuade the librarian to not ban him.
Jasonhad crooked fingers. He slammed his fingers in a car door, a truck tirecollapsed on them, he busted a knuckle punching a teenaged jerk when he waseleven, and numerous other problems when he was living with Bruce. His fingerswere long and thin, and looked like pianist fingers. The Lazarus Pit straightenedthem, but Jay busted them multiple times since. He doesn’t mind.
Jasonloves show tunes. His mother used to work at the theater when she was ateenager, and would sing the songs. Her voice would echo throughout theapartment on good days, and Jason cultivated a love for them. They remind himof the happy times.
JasonTodd is very, very strong. One time, when Jason was new to the house, Bruce wastesting his strength, and charting it down as Jason got healthier. Sure enough,one time Bruce said something that made Jason see red. He yanked the weights(double his weight) and threw them at Bruce. It clipped him in the shoulder.The real tragedy was the smashed motorcycle behind him. Jason was so afraid. Heshook as he stepped forward, apologizing. He told Bruce he wouldn’t mind if hehit him (“Go on, Boss. I deserve it, I don’t care”). That pretty much brokeBruce’s heart, and he told Jason that he would never hit him. Jason ran up tohis room and wouldn’t come out for two days. They both ignored that day, andnever discussed it again.
Heactually really loved Dick. One time, one week before Jason’s secondThanksgiving, Dick came over. After causing trouble and being banished from thekitchen, Dick taught Jason how to dance. At least, at first. Then it became “Whocan spin the most without vomiting?” Then it became “Sock sliding.” Then Dickpicked Jason up and spun him around. Jason was pretty much at horizontal in theair. Bruce called that one “Let’s see if we can give Jay whiplash.” But Bruceknew that it was all right, because both of his boys were breathless and smiling.
Jasonloves Alfred’s hot chocolate. Alfred knew he liked cinnamon, and always gavehim extra marshmallows. Even now, Alfred will send a thermal over. There areextra marshmallows still.
WithDamian around, Jason and Tim got along much better. Tim was now a part of the “MiddleChild Club” and the two of them meet for lunch once a month to complain abouttheir siblings. Sometimes Cass joins, but she doesn’t really count because she’sthe only girl and favorite child (and they’re always smacked by her for sayingthat, even if she is pleased).
Onetime, when Damian had a cold, Jason continued the sock sliding traditions.Damian did vomit, however, being sick. It was the only time Jason was ever introuble with Alfred, but Damian told him that he wouldn’t be averse to resumingthe activity another day. Jason counts that as an older brother score.
Hiseyelashes are dark and long. Especially his lower lashes.
Thanksfor asking! Although all the Robins are my favorite, I decided to run withJason.
tim’s peak gay look in the 90s vs tim’s peak gay look in 2016. beautiful.

If I was in charge of the Batman movie, I’d make the trailer go like this:
We see Gotham City. Dramatic music plays as the camera pans over the city. You see Wayne Manor, the Batmobile. You see Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, and Superman, standing in a line as Batman walks away. Diana asks, “Have you ever had a team before?” and Bruce doesn’t respond.
Then the music changes to something sadder, nostalgic on Bruce’s face as he turns away from the JL and walks out of the room. A booming voice-over says “Ladies and Gentlemen, the Flying Graysons!”
A little boy’s voice says, “Try and catch me, you big boob!”
Ryan Potter says, “Batman needs a Robin, Bruce.”
A girl, “I missed this.”
A cheerful girl says, “Enemy of crime and people who don’t like purple.”
Another girl says, “I’d like to see you try and stop me from being Batgirl.”
And a boy says “Tt. You’re shorter than I expected.”
Bruce says, as he is almost completely covered in shadows, “I work alone.”
There is then a montage of someone pulling on purple gloves, pushing on glasses, pulling on a cowl, blue and black fingers grabbing an eskrima stick, a yellow cape being put on, someone’s black mask over her black hair, a gun being loaded.
Then it shows the six of them standing on a roof, just a quick shot, then it goes to the title card.
BATMAN, BATGIRL AND ROBIN: THE LEGACY
then it shows Bruce in civilian clothes, pushing open a door while he’s calling someone on his phone. He freezes, and it shows Dick doing a handstand with Damian balanced on his feet while Tim and Cass are filming it. Bruce sighs.
“You know what, Selina, I’m gonna have to call you back.”
Drawing Jason is so much fun!^^
Late to this party but

Hey! I love your blog. I'm having a super sucky week, so do you have any Steph headcanons that would make me feel better?
I feel you tbh, but I’ll do my best!
- Steph always has sour candy on her person. She started carrying them around because the sensory jolt helps her stay awake in class after being out all night, but it’s a habit now, so she packs them in all her bags and her utility belt. She’s also the reigning champion of the Wayne Manor Sour Candy Eating Contest. It was a long and hard battle, but she won, and that’s what’s important.
- Damian’s name in Steph’s phone is just (ง'̀-‘́)ง. He was not consulted on that point, but honestly? He doesn’t seem to mind.
- A scene I found in my drafts with absolutely no context:
“I think I’m okay.” Stephanie rolled sideways, checking for all her limbs. “Unless I got stabbed again. Did I get stabbed again?”
“A little bit.”
“Damn it.” She could feel it now, diagonal across the right side of her ribs— really more of a cut than a stab wound. Could be worse. “Well that didn’t go too badly, did it?”
Jason dropped his chip back into the bowl, giving her the eye. “You fell off a water tower.”
“And you stopped for snacks, apparently. We all got our problems.”
“Speaking of problems.” Jason nodded towards the cave entrance, where Tim was coming down the stairs. Tim looked concerned, but he smiled when he saw Stephanie with her eyes open.
“Hey! You’re awake.”
“Hey…” Steph dropped her voice lower, like she had just woken up, and beckoned him closer. As soon as Tim came near enough, she reached up and punched him in the shoulder.
“Ow!”
“And I’m cured!” Steph sat up brightly, crossing her legs beneath her. She grabbed a handful of chips out of Jason’s bowl while he was too busy laughing to stop her. “It’s a miracle.”
“What was that for?”
“You made fun of my hat this morning.” The hat in question was a striped beanie with the bat logo on it— not official issue, of course, but if the Gotham tourist trade couldn’t benefit from the Batman, was he really helping the city? Debatable. Steph loved her hat.
“That’s because the hat is terrible.”
“How dare you.” Steph raised a finger in mock anger. “And it wasn’t terrible during white elephant last year, was it? Because— may I remind you— you yelled at me when I stole it from you.”
“What? I can like terrible things.” Tim shrugged. “For example, I also like Jason.”
Jason took another chip. “That’s fair.”
