We were the best, Richard

If you heard "Batman has four sons", you'd be forgiven for thinking that each of those sons has three brothers. But that's a rookie mistake. Dick is the only one of them who actually has three brothers, and that's because he put in the work for it, thank you very much. Jason has one brother (Dick), and two kids that his dad had after he moved out (Tim and Damian). Damian actually ping pongs between acknowledging Tim and Jason as his brothers, and thinking they don't count because they're not related to him, but regardless of how he feels about those two he is always related to Dick, Dick just isn't always his brother. So Damian can vary wildly from having three brothers to two brothers to zero brothers.

yet another contrived and implausible headcanon I cherish: Bruce wearing a cowl 1) for protection but also 2) because ever since training with the League and others, he realized hair longer than a buzz cut makes you a target for hair-grabbing and even worse, they call you pretty boy while they do it and they have a better handhold because it’s just a little longer than the modern male style. which means Bruce kept his “as long as I want, thank you, Alfred” hair safe under a cowl for a decade before the night Dick debuted his Robin costume (hair wide open for grabbing) and had to go sit down and pinch the bridge of his nose for a minute or two.

I lied, I was the one being cooked not the w.i.p. 😔

I love the slightly toxic / massively codependent relationship between Bruce and Dick no matter canon or fanon because you’re telling me Dick cut ties, created his own hero persona, led half the teams in the JL at one point, walked around telling everyone he didn’t need Batman anymore, but then if Bruce died on a mission they’d need the entire Justice League to haul him away from Bruce’s body; and even if they could, he’d fight them the entire way, screaming and spitting and inconsolable to the point of madness…that Dick Grayson. and the Bruce who literally lost his mind and gave into war when Dick died in Injustice…who carries his dead son’s body in so many comics like he’s cradling a child…who split his knuckles down to the bone and kept going until Selina had to beg him to stop…
