#dc rewrite

How about three?

Okay so some lore info!;

I personally believe that in my re-write he’s about 22, (mostly due to the age gap that I want for him and Richard is seven years. I’m not set in stone on that but idk.) but I need it to be over 21 due to angst purposes. In the time line I think he arrived right after Damian appeared, Talia giving the young Wayne to Bruce. No one is sure why she gave him up but that’s besides the point.

I think he had gotten revived in the lazurus Pitt at the time where he would’ve turned 19. And from when he was 19-22 he ran through Gothams underground, enraged that he was left to die in that godforsaken wearhouse. Left to rot. And at first he had hope that Bruce would do the right thing. He had to have killed joker. He had too.

It only took a week of him being rejuvenated for joker to cause chaos; and the pure utter rage that seeped out of him. Bleeding like a wound that wouldn’t close. It didn’t get any better when he realized Bruce had adopted another Robin. It had only at that time since he was revived; was about a year.

It took a year to replace Jason.

He didn’t take that well at all.

He had started on a campaign to take our anything tied to joker, and threw out the Batman’s codes. All of it. He was going to make all of them pay. Pay for hurting him. For killing him. It had been four years of running. Hiding, taking down jokers schemes all on his own, his anger at it all worsening as the years went by causing him to develop unhealthy coping mechanisms, he was of the legal age, he could by himself drinks so why wouldn’t he indulge? Plus the liquid gold did help when he had to stictch wounds closed on his own despite the pain. Along with harming himself too.

The pitt had severely effected his mind, along with the memories of being murdered he had to now grapple with being abandoned for a new shiny toy by Bruce, while handling joker all on his own, staying hidden from Bruce. And the pure rage the Pitt would cause to him through bad flares was excruciating. It felt like he was being split into two. Not to mention when he’d get flares from the side effects it would trigger some gnarly ptsd. Causing him to get severe flashbacks of that night with joker. Those nights always ended in him being self destructive.

I also believe he deals with chronic pain, both from being murdered and from the Pitt. On those nights his vices become more heavy. And he he’s stuck to being home in his apartment studying cases he has pulled.

What happened to the boy who thought being Robin gave him magic?

That’s kinda all I got for now though? Idk more might come to me when I color him.

The Mages of Gamorra/Parousia (and also, a sneaky re-work of the All Caste). featuring several cameos and two redesigns of characters from Red Hood and the Outlaws that im quite proud of. design notes below

harvey dent has a prosthetic eye. and he also has DID. (as a medically recognized DID system i will die on this mountain)

all of bruce's.... wards... look enough like him that gotham thinks one of his many acts of charity are simply continuing to adopt children

bruce wayne and harvey dent are estranged highschool-sweathearts-turned-estranged-divorced-husbands. and yknow what i think when they were both trying to launch into the public eye as Millionaire Charitable Playboy Wayne and The Best DA of Gotham Dent, that they launched as a power couple for people to root for (maybe it was a fake dating trope but i think they've kissed before. hard.)

fuck it, here goes

i have a rewrite where im combining as many dc medias as i can into a semi-coherant timeline. im also throwing in some original stuff for flair. Dick has had many a relationship over the decades, so i want to know:

I am way to proud of the result on this one getting to use my original skill set for this and I am actually gonna try and write on this.

Similar to DC Canon Dr. Jonathan Crane once worked at Arkham Asylum as a Psychiatrist, and one with a particular interest in fear and the effects of it on the human psyche, especially in its most extreme. And many at Arkham would fall to be his ‘tests’ first victims. Of course upon being found out he was immediately fired and the incidents were covered up and treated like they never happened. Dr. Crane didn’t set out to be a super villian when he made his Fear Toxin, he just wanted to get back at those he deemed wronged him, and happened to find he didn’t just like seeing fear he like causing it. And you can guess where it went from there.
