Why Not Raise A Little Hell?

DC can pretend that Jason knows who Tim is but I know the truth

Dick: You have a brother?? Is he Talia and Bruce’s too?

Damian: Of course, we share the same parentage after all.

Tim: How old is he?

Damian: He says it reset after he went into the Lazarus pit. So he’s 3.

(Bruce is in the background blue screening that he has another child with Talia that he didn’t know about.)

Damian: How old are you?

Jason, unsure if he can count those 6 months in the ground: I’m a few days, cause I went into the Lazarus pit and it went back to 0.

Damian, precisely ten (10) apples tall: this is my little brother. He’s 4. Make him cry and I’ll gut you

I colored Travis Moore’s Bruce Wayne/Talia al Ghul commission for @aribee

I can't believe DCeased: Hope at World's End #5 featured the best characterizations of Talia al Ghul and Stephanie Brown in idek how long despite the fact they only appeared in like half the issue. Main continuity step the fuck up.

Let's start w/ Talia:

(Establishing that Talia is still very much Talia al Ghul of the League of Assassins but also Damian's mum - it's a weird sort of affection she has when she feels the need to clarify w/ Damian himself that Jon is his best friend idk how to explain it)

(Her seeing Damian in the Batman suit so knowing that Bruce must be dead but not wanting to really believe it. And then going with Damian to see his grave)

(Even the small acknowledgment that she and Jason know each other)

(Talia saying that Damian is acting soft but Damian calmly telling everyone else that 'my mother loved Bruce' which in other words is 'she is just as upset as I am' the only difference is how the 2 of them process their emotions - Damian being able to cry but Talia wanting to start a fight which is just a testament to their upbringings and not reflective of them as a person. Talia is not 'evil' for being less emotional which is how she's often portrayed)

And now Steph:

(Comforting Damian immediately whilst acknowledging that he has trouble with others seeing his emotions and able to make him comfortable enough to cry in front of her because she knows he needs to say goodbye)

(Stepping up straight away to be Damian's Robin because even though she jokes about Batman being emotionally repressed she knows that Damian at the moment is much more at risk of that than Bruce ever was [especially cos he's still a child] and that being Robin for him is the best way to make sure he doesn't close himself off to everyone - even if that means stepping into an identity she probably has bad memories of)

TLDR; let Tom Taylor write for the Batfam in main continuity.

It’s embarrassing how long this took me :[
