Friendly Reminder That

we're trending let's go besties

also, please, please, please, rick riordan and mark oshiro, do not play into those ableist tropes you see so common in fanon (and a little canon) solangelo. disabled people have been calling this out for the longest time only to be met with "you're just ruining the fun". don't do that. don't make will a savior character or the answer to all of nico's problems. portray a healthy relationship instead, this has much more of a positive effect on young readers. please. please.

has this been done already

I’M LOSING IT, that Bruce just flat out says Damian and Jason will just lie through their teeth, neither of them really even blinks because yeah of course they’ll lie through their fucking teeth, so in swoops Dick and smiles and says, don’t worry, we’ll all lie low and wait for you to secure the Batcomputer, I’ll keep an eye on them! And they all just fucking fall for it, even Bruce lets his guard down and believes him, because that’s Dick for you, you forget he is a chaos gremlin who will lie through his fucking teeth if he decides he wants to, and he will do it with a smile on his face and an annoying quip to make you look in the other direction. Dick Grayson does not even hesitate when he’s up to shit, and you don’t even realize it until you’re already gone. But the point of it isn’t that he’s uncaring or spiteful about it, even on the very next page in Bruce’s assessment of Dick’s Gauntlet trial, the conclusion is that he will always choose his heart over the letter of the law.  He can be just as devious as any of them, he can be just as reckless, he can lie with the best of them and be a contrary asshole, but it’s always because he’s doing what his heart thinks is right. Even if his heart thinks lying through his teeth is pretty fucking funny.

This is me ranking the meanest things that Damian has ever said to Bruce

1. “You were easier to look up to when you weren’t around.”

Batman and Robin vol 2 #1

I love when Damian reminds Bruce that he’s a disappointment. It took the other batkids years to realize that but Damian knew it from the beginning and he will never let him forget it. 9/10

2. “So that explains why Astrid Arkham sees me as a curse hanging over Gotham.” “Haven’t we all at some point?”

Detective Comics (2016) #1004

He’s 100% correct but he’s not being as mean as he could be. Bruce’s feelings were definitely not hurt so it wasn’t a proper roasting. But it’s super fucking funny, and I’m obsessed with the fact that Damian interrupted this serious moment to joke about how everyone hates his dad. 7/10

3. “You know my name! Grandfather was right, you truly are the world’s greatest detective.”

The Shadow/Batman #1

Calling Bruce stupid is very classic Damian. I appreciate that he keeps finding new and creative ways to say it. However I have to take off points because that’s not the actual Bruce he’s insulting, just a dollotron. 5/10

4. “Watch yourself old man. You may be better with a bicycle but I’m your superior at everything else.”

Batman Black and White #5

This one absolutely took me out when I first read it. The “watch it old man” alone would be enough for me to put it on this list, but pairing that with Damian saying he’s better than Bruce in nearly every way makes this perfect. Bruce’s feelings probably weren’t hurt but he definitely called Dick later to complain about Damian’s lack of respect. 10/10

5. “So you’ve learned your long-lost father is a world class psycho... join the club...”

Teen Titans (2016) #11

He’s not talking to Bruce in this one but this is still an impeccable roast. Calling Bruce a psycho AND telling his teammate that they ain’t special?? He’s killing two birds with one stone. I’m taking off points because this panel came from Teen Titans (2016) and that version of Damian is not valid. 6/10

6. “Father, if this is it, I want to tell you something. I... I need you to know... I definitely would have been the best Batman.”

Dark Nights: Death Metal #7

Absolutely iconic. Damian is facing certain death and instead of telling his father that he loves him like Bruce was probably expecting, he decided to remind him that he could have been a way better Batman if he was given the chance. Damian is going to die doing what he loves most: antagonizing Bruce. 12/10

7. “Silence.”

Super Sons #10

After all the times Bruce has told him to shut up, Damian finally pulled an Uno reverse card on him, and it’s all Bruce’s fault. Even he can recognize that. 5/10

8. “And I sometimes feel like I’m listening to a raging, controlling madman.”

Batman: Pennyworth RIP

I admire Damian’s audacity to bring up all of Bruce’s faults whenever they fight. And he’s always correct. I also love how big Bruce’s hand is compared to his face. It reminds me that Bruce is getting verbally demolished by a kid who still needs a booster seat. 8/10

9. “But we’re going to talk about these orphanages. It’s a bit disconcerting that you own whole buildings full of potential backup Robins.”

Detective Comics (2016) #1017

Even if this was a joke, I know some tiny part of Damian actually believes this. He lives in constant fear of getting another sibling. I’m deducting some points because this is one of the most popular and overused Batman jokes ever. We all know he collects orphans. 4/10

10. “I don’t know why you bothered to come back from the dead. We were fine without you.”

Batman Incorporated (2012) #1

We’re finishing the list off strong with perhaps the meanest thing Damian has ever said to Bruce. He went for the throat with this one. His father just came back to life and he’s already decided he doesn’t like that bitch. I just KNOW Bruce cried himself to sleep that night. 1000/10

Bruce: *rolling giant penny into the Batcave w significant difficulty, precariously balancing his drink in his other hand*

Alfred: what do you have there Master Bruce

Bruce:

Bruce: a smoothie

robin’s got this

Listen, I waited to eat my donuts this morning but my brother ate them all and I didn’t get any and yes I am still very much so salty so here you go 😤

Remember when Dick got shot and passed out on the fire escape and Alfred had to go get him? Imagine how scared Alfred probably was when he climbed up the fire escape and saw Dick unresponsive and covered in blood. For a brief moment, he probably thought that he was too late and that Dick was already dead.
