the fact that every single time they have a character talk about “who will help gotham?”, “who will fight for gotham?”, “is there anyone who can save gotham?” they always give us a bruce moment where he makes a decision that brings him one step closer to batman is everything.

1x08: barbara refers to zsasz as a monster after being stalked, kidnapped and threatened by him and jim reassures her that he’s not a monster, he’s just a man.
2x14: matches tries to push bruce into killing him by telling him he has to because he’s a monster to which bruce replies that matches isn’t a monster, as much as he wants him to be for killing his parents, he’s just a man.

I didn't realize the Gotham Knights a) had Carrie Kelley, and b) Carrie Kelley was Black.
So uhm...
I love Black-Cantonese Tim, but I prefer Tim's canon Origin story a lot.
I also like Carrie's canon origin story.
She is completely ignored by her stoner parents (it was the Reagan era), and is later attacked by a former Robin angry at being replaced who now resembles the Joker. She also saved Batman's life (literally) in the aftermath of his grief over Jason's death.
I've always thought, since I got into Batman stuff in 2014, that they had a lot of parallels. And I've always wanted to do a "Carrie in canon Batfam" AU. And I'd already decided that if I ever do a longer fic again, Black-Cantonese Tim is so canon.
So like, hear me out:
Tim is upset about being replaced, and Red Robin starts to get more aggressive, after that and Bruce's disappearance. Carrie seeing Robin and the New Vigilante being violent, tries to be Robin herself as what Robin should be. Tim and her meet, and aside from hitting it off, Tim has one of his "this is so fucking insane and would not work irl but this is comics" ideas. Carrie hasn't gone into puberty yet, and he hasn't had his growth spurt yet. And their faces are mildly similar. Similar enough for Gotham's 80% white population to not notice (both of them find this upsetting and hilarious) when they begin switching the suit. While Tim is Red Robining, Carrie is wearing the exact same Robin suit he did, and no one even knows its her.
Carrie also moonlights as Catgirl under Selina, just like Tim used to as Stray. When Tim comes back, she becomes his personal Robin. Under the name: Orange Robin (keeps up the Tim Drake tradition of horrible hero names).
Then, when Tim turns 18, he fosters her.
It all just...fits together so perfectly.
I really...really....really might sit down in do this, once I finish some other creative projects. Like...man.
(added Bonus of Tim teaching Cass Mandarin, the language of her Mother, who Tim also has a mentorship under. Making Cass and Tim siblings on 2 bases) (Cassie uses slingshots in comics. Maybe...she asks Jason for help with her aim? He gives her one of those crossbows that looks sort of like a gun?? Alfred helps too?? There's a whole lot of possibilities here and I keep thinking of other bits to add. We'll see)

Pretty please can we have your interpretation of Gotham Knights' tank of a Jason? 🥺 He's big and dangerous but comes off as a really protective and sweet guy 💕
maybe if you feel like doing a two-character interaction you could have him protecting a roughed-up Jason from the Arkham Knight game, because we know that Jason especially has no chill but also no Lazarus strength to back him up, and he's definitely smaller than this new guy we've been given 💙 Maybe GKjason would think of him as a strange, slightly feral little older brother, regardless of their canon ages in their respective games, since AK was here first chronologically speaking.
Your art is always so tender, the angst so divine, I'd be delighted with any GK Jason crumbs at all ❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨
