One thing I appreciate in The Batman (2004) show is the way Dick is always helping people up.
Like, my boy is always helping everyone out. It's such a Dick Grayson thing to do. I love that they put that little detail in there.
I swear this series allows more every character importance stance to show more than just being in the background and doing minor things Iove BTAS but sometimes that is how I feel when the Robin's don't get to shine so much like Bruce does

Barry Allen’s Guide to the Multiverse! Dark Crisis: Big Bang (2022)
So I love the posts about the Justice League not knowing/randomly learning about Batman’s kids in JL meetings
However, I think it’s funniest if there’s like a series of secret PTA meetings where all the heroes with sidekicks are in the know (plus a few select others) and no one else
Superman makes an off comment about school lunches because Barry’s been concerned about Wally’s metabolism and Hawkman is like ???
Hal knows about Wally but doesn’t realize the conversation is about his honorary nephew and wonders if Clark’s writing an article about school lunches
Oliver laments about bullies and the “right way” to handle them and Booster Gold tries to resonate with him thinking Oliver’s dealing with bullies
AND there’s definitely alliances and rivalries
Bruce and Barry are in an alliance and have been since the beginning (they admire each other) & they have a rivalry against Oliver (Barry and Oliver canonically don’t like each other despite sharing a BFF) so Dinah has to be in an alliance with Oliver against them on principle and poor Hal’s caught in the middle like a deer in headlights
Superman and Wonder Woman try to be more neutral, but when they can’t be they tend to side with Bruce and Barry
Arthur and Augustus (Icon) also try not to get involved but are more likely to agree with Oliver if they do
As each generation grows and grows up more and more people get in on the secret, by the time it’s the Young Justice era a lot of random heroes are dragged into the whole shebang essentially acting as the T part of the TPA meetings (poor Red Tornado- whatever they were paying you it wasn’t enough lol)
And the older generations of sidekicks act like TAs, updating the new generations parents or “parents” about their own or their newest wild child’s of the superheroing world
But still, even as it expands - there’s always more heroes wondering what the heck is going on with these other heroes-
Why are they still talking about their old high schools and teenage parties and bullies, etc, etc? Like don’t they have anything better to do then talk about stuff that happened at least two decades ago?
(+ If I remember correctly, Bruce canonically takes PTA meetings pretty seriously in one of the Robin runs (as well as in the WFA webcomics) so that makes it even funnier to me)
Idk, just me?

Flashfam: the family name is open for everyone and important to our history and legacy, everyone will likely use it at some point in the timeline
Superfam: our names are important and connect us to each other and our heritage in meaningful ways. They are shared but they are significant and are handed off specifically
Arrowfam: our names connect us and signify the way we care for each other. The names we take are intentional and thought-out and we take pride in them
Batfam: the names mean something different to everyone and are important for different reasons to each of us. This leads to constant fighting and names going every which way. Sometimes it makes sense, most of the time it doesn't. Everyone clings onto the like four good names and steals them because we're bad at coming up with new ones

Hot takes why Bruce Wayne should be the Youngest Justice League Founding Member
- It’s hilarious
- Nobody would suspect it. Batman always comes across as so sure and authoritative - he must be at least 37 or so
- Meanwhile, Bruce is actually 23 and just took in a nine-year-old
- And Robin in turn just makes people think he’s older because if that’s his kid - well, then he’s got to be old enough to be a dad
- You’ve got Diana as the oldest and Bruce as the youngest and they’re both the only ones with any braincells
- Every time Batman gets a meme, people assume it’s because of Robin and yeah, that’s partially true, but he’s also a millennial
- It’s gets better with every kid he adopts
- Diana is probably the first to actually know his age but it doesn’t matter much to her
- Clark, however, freaks out.
- “You’re 26!”
- “Yes. How is that more relevant than the fact that I’m Bruce Wayne and therefore can get intel on the kryotonite smuggling ring?”
- “You have a teenage son. You’re younger than me!”
- “Only by six years, Clark. Now could we please focus-“
- Barry and Hal would straight up not believe it.
- Hal’s the last to know. He just walks into the meeting room, Bruce unmasked, and is all “who tf are you? Bruce Wayne? Who is that- what do you mean you’re 27?”
- Just give me Tired 23 Year Old Bruce having Old Man Vibes
ten-year-old Wally West meets his hero and idol for the first time AND saves his life.
I think it says a lot about Wally that he already were a quick thinker and a hero before getting his powers.
Reblogged because FUCK YEAH kid Wally!
