Knowing the original reason(s) that Dick became Nightwing and then reading comics like Nightwing: Year One is just so annoying. Like what is the deal with more modern rewrites making everything surrounding Dick and Bruce super edgy and angsty when the original version of the story was perfectly fine?? It’s like DC Comics is on a mission to assassinate both of their characters to make Dick into a ‘sad boy’, it’s infuriating.

Original Pre-Crisis Nightwing Lore: Yeah I'm just kind of getting too old to be Robin. Like it or not Robin is forever and always going to be known as Batman's sidekick and I just don't feel like that fits me anymore. I'm the leader of the Teen Titans and I spend most of my time doing that and solo missions now anyway. I think I'm going to drop the mantle, take a step back, and find a new identity. Original Post-Crisis Nightwing Lore: I got shot and fell off a building during a mission and almost died right in front of Bruce. It shook him up and made him super afraid of me dying so he told me he wasn't going to run with a Robin anymore because he didn't want my death to be his fault. I was annoyed about him treating me like a kid and that he was throwing all the years we worked together away over one incident but he said it wasn't like that, he just hoped I was old enough to understand where he was coming from. I told him that there was no way I wasn't going to continue being a hero and he fully supported me saying that he would always be there to help if I needed it. I was still hurt by it all, especially when Jason showed up, but ultimately I came to understand why it happened and got over it. Edgy Retcon Nightwing Lore: I went out of my way to SAVE him and then I got PUNISHED because I didn't do it right and wasn't prioritizing Gotham enough despite my THIRTEEN THOUSAND JOBS but I'm not surprised because he's always been unreasonable and HATES ME so now I'm not Robin anymore because Batman is an awful person and emotionally abuses me. And just to be clear it's not like Dick and Bruce didn't fight before the retcon, frequently being at each other's throats is literally a core aspect of their relationship, but I'm just so tired of them retconning every interaction they have into some overdramatic spat. Way to completely strip Dick of all his agency as a character and turn Bruce into an empty cardboard cut out of himself. Hope the angst points are worth it.

EDIT: I also want to add that fights between Bruce and Dick used to have a lot more nuance than they do now. The B&D fights used to be caused by a breakdown in communication on BOTH sides, not just Bruce's. The 'Jason becoming Robin' fight comes to mind. In Batman #416 neither Dick's complaints nor Bruce's excuses made complete sense but that was the point. Bruce should have been better at reaching out but Dick was also expecting Bruce to be a mind reader and know how he was feeling without telling him. Dick left home without saying goodbye well Bruce was on a mission, Bruce assumed that meant Dick didn't want to see him and so avoided reaching out leading to the two of them not talking for a long time. Dick accepts that Bruce doesn't want him as Robin anymore in stride (he even smiles and shit about it) so Bruce doesn't realize that losing Robin actually hurt him, ex. It's that kind of fighting, the "I want to slam both your heads together" fighting, that I miss so much.

Voy a decir algo bueno de los yanquis y es que me gusta su cultura de ingenieros caseros. En EEUU siempre hay algún viejo loco en un garage haciendo un, como le dicen ellos? Un gizmo un doohickey un thingmajig esas cosas, y por ahí hasta les sale bien y cambian el mundo o sino igual es divertido de ver por Youtube. Me encantan esas revistas estilo Mecánica Popular (hubo una versión argentina!) que te enseñan a construir una radio con dos cables y eso. Lamento que eso se ve cada vez menos acá porque no hay plata para gastar en esos proyectos caseros y los jóvenes de ahora no quieren armar colisionadores de partículas caseros, quieren ser el lobo de Wall Street (vieron que siempre importamos lo choto)

the fact that there are white people going "omg they're just like us" about people in south, south east, south west asia and africa and south america like it's some huge revelation that we're all human is so fucking dismal to me. what do you mean you never considered the personhood of the people who don't look like you or don't have your culture? why do you think that you're unique in your suffering? why do you think you deserve praise for realizing that we're all human?

overused batman jokes i Hate

• dick only ever dated redheads/he only likes redheads

• dick's ass. just his ass in general. leave that man ALONE

• batman will take in and train every orphan he comes across (gross misunderstanding of Everything btw but ok)

• tim's a coffee addict / tim can't cook (not true) / tim's spleen Like ok you think he's incapable of taking care of himself We get it!!

• not a joke exactly but the abuse of the word replacement is going to kill me

• also: any joke that involves calling damian feral. you know what i'm talking about

• dick is an eldest daugther/mother hen It's not even super inaccurate it's just really annoying and reduces dick to what he means to others and also you people should revisit your gender stereotypes maybe?

edit bc i've just remembered: forever 17 tim jokes i know it pisses you off but it's still. Annoying

#there's more but i can't think of any rn #dc comics #batman #batfamily #im going to burn every batfam incorrect quotes account to the ground i hate them Blockblockblock

Reading through early some 70s comics, and the extent to which Dick is just over there beating himself up is wild.

Like the time when all the Teen Titans except him were involved in the accidental firing of a gun that killed a man, and Dick still blames himself because he wasn't there. (Wally thinks Dick needs to knock it off and let the rest of them have their own trauma):

-- Teen Titans (1966) #25

Or here, where the rest of the Titans are all presumed dead while trapped in limbo (while thinking that Dick had lied about evidence and sent an innocent guy to jail - a plot line that is never followed up on), and Dick wanders around getting beaten up, refusing to get help, and calling himself useless:

--Teen Titans (1966) #10

And here he is at college after he broke up a fight by punching a guy who turned out not to have been the instigator:

--Detective Comics #402

And here he's in a dream sequence forcing him to face his biggest fear, which is, of course, failing to rescue someone (complete with a vision of Batman being disappointed in him):

-- Teen Titans (1966) #38

I wasn't even reading with a Dick lens, and half of these comics are pretty limited in the characterization department; his guilt complex just leaps out at you around every corner.

also i do think that the pervasive idea where "canon doesn't bother to respect itself, why should i respect canon" wrt comics is like. hm. the idea that the many different iterations of characters due to a variety of writers seeing them a variety different ways isn't a bonus actually....the variety means there are many different ways and opportunities for a character to vibe with you in a certain story or under a writer. rather than decry it all as useless because it's so inconsistent therefore you can do whatever you want because the characters don't matter, there is probably *more* opportunity than most within comics as a medium to find a characterization thay works for you. but in order to do so, you do have to interact with the canon to find it. because there's a difference between personal interpretation of characterization and just making stuff up.

que feo cuando la cultura latinoamericana se ve reducida a una regurgitación del consumismo yanqui tipo fantasía de plástico porquería, se te llena la casa de cosas inútiles hechas afuera (con recursos que se supone que eran tuyos). pero que se supone que hagas al respecto

#perdon ya empezo mi domingo depresion #tengo q escribir un comic de dick y clark q tengo en mente esa sera la unica forma de que yo me calme
