Hope that helps!
listen here my dear sweet anon
first of all, there is no forewarning needed here that these are mostly from early LO, early LO is what I'm dying to recapture so you already struck gold and you can stop digging (or don't, because holy shit finding this in my inbox was like christmas for puff round 2)
second, i hope you're happy choosing this timeline where you're my new bestie because goddamn this is COMPREHENSIVE
and third (and most importantly) how in the flying FUCK did you know about some of these
like it's clear at this point rachel uses a lot of the kyle webster brushes, i kinda figured that out ages ago and it was just a matter of figuring out which ones she uses which you've done me the solid of putting together for me
but the ghibli background set?? the brushes that are exclusive to the newest episodes ??
either you've just become the champion of being the most hyperfixated on old LO orrrrr you know something we don't and there's a reason you're using the anon tag-

Late to the party, first time watching DD completely, not in bits and pieces.
Ya know, thinking about it, in TRT, you've added ANOTHER parallel to Fisk and Matt.
They both fall in love with women who enable them.
Vanessa reassures Fisk that he's doing the right thing, that he's not to blame for what happened as a kid.
Jane reassures Matt that he's doing the right thing, that he's not to blame for what happened as a kid.
They both calm the raging fury that's inside of them.
I'd love to see Venessa and Jane have a conversation, just one. Just to see their personalities bounce off of eachother. I have a feeling Jane would start to show her teeth and Venessa would start to show her second face by the end of it.
(Not fully caught up with trt)
YESSSSSSSS! And that's the thing, like - the parallels between Matt and Fisk have always been an amazing piece of writing for me in canon. They set it up so beautifully, weaving in all these layers where you see how similar they are, but also slightly different: their first drink with their father (Matt while stitching up his dad, Fisk trying to please his dad), their father's deaths, the rage, trying to 'fix' the city, etc. And so it felt right to show something similar with Matt and Jane versus Fisk and Vanessa who, spoiler alert: I also fucking love as a couple.
Both are arguably healthy (ish) relationships in their own way. Supportive, loving. Like you said, they encourage or enabling the other depending on the circumstance/where you're standing: you're doing the right thing. I believe in you even when no one else does. You can do this. You're not to blame for what happened then. They're kind to their partners. And neither of them are as innocent as Matt and Fisk initially think.
But much like Matt and Fisk, there are slight differences, showing the different ways the wheels can turn even in similar people, namely in the way Vanessa leans into that personal darkness, and Jane is, at least for now, trying to lean away from it. Because Vanessa's very comfortable, confident with strolling through that darkness, as is fitting for a villain power couple. Jane meanwhile is more like someone who's trying for the second time to cross a Decent Person wire above a darkened I Want To Murder Many People canyon but she slipped and is now hanging onto it upside down, holding onto that rope with her teeth, fingers, and toes all while Circumstance butters her fingers and Matt desperately uses his balancing pole to swat at Circumstance from the nearby wire Matt himself is barely walking labeled 'Violent Catholic Vigilante Issues'.
ANYWAY, I agree. I think Vanessa and Jane would have a lot to talk about, and the push and pull between them both would be really interesting! Because there's so much they agree on, and yet, there's just enough different that ooooh... that slow build in tension would be delicious. How long before the masks fell, and they both got a true sense of the other? Only time would tell.

I’ve said before that one reason I like the canon tidbit that Tim was a city kid while Janet was alive (the Drakes didn’t live in Bristol until after Jack’s coma was over) because it makes Camera!Tim more plausible.
But also? I think it makes Tim’s canon origin motivations more plausible. Tim imprinted pretty damn hard on Dick Grayson, and subsequently Robin, but little kid Tim was just as obsessed with Batman, and with seeing the Dynamic Duo as important symbols for the city.
Why would a kid from out in the suburbs care about that?
Sure, tracking caped vigilantes in the news is an interesting hobby, but the level of attachment Tim had? It’s possible for a tourist, I guess, but it says local to me. It says someone who directly sees the effects.
We get some interesting similarities and differences with other Batkids. Jason and Tim are from disparate economic classes, and Jason is explicitly from the part of town Batman didn’t bother patrolling in. Jason had every reason to see Batman as useless at best and an active threat to himself and his community at worst. It takes Bruce giving Jason the resources to help people himself to change that view. Batman didn’t matter to Jason as a symbol, he mattered as a parent.
Tim is theoretically from a part of town that benefitted from Batman; everywhere in Gotham is dangerous, but there might’ve been a drop in street level crime in Tim’s neighborhood when Bruce patrolled there, an uptick in corporate crimes actually getting the evidence to prosecute, a drop in mafia’s controlling things. That’s speculation though; maybe Batman didn’t make a lick of difference, he was just visible.
Cass is raised outside Gotham as an assassin, but spent an unknown amount of time as a Gotham street kid. We first see her in the city in canon after the earthquake, when everything’s gone to hell and the vigilantes on the ground are making a difference when the government gives up on them. Like Tim, she sees Batman as an important symbol, though this seems to be less about Gotham, and more about the contrast to her assassin upbringing.
Stephanie is from the Manchester suburb outside Gotham, and her view of Batman isn’t based on the city at all, but on his direct effect on her family. By the fact he foils her villain father’s plans. Steph comes to care about his opinion of her, but he’s not a symbol the way he is for Tim & Cass.
There’s probably something to say about city-dwellers Jack & Janet sending Tim to boarding school, but I don’t know enough about that subject to get into it.
