Donna talking about Nightwing:

Second, if we're talking about canon? No. Untrue.

Third, congratulations then because you hate half of the female characters in DC if this is your reason to hate one!

See the issue does not only apply to Babs, but to other characters too.

Take Diana, for example.

Her and Batman:

Justice League 2001 "The brave and the Bold part 2 — Justice League 2001 "Maid of Honor"

Her and Superman:

Should be Justice League #12 (2011)

Oh and that time Aquaman cheated on Mera for Diana:

Flashpoint: The World of Flashpoint Featuring Wonder Woman (there's also the movie for this)

And yes, some are other universes. But people hate Babs for the things she did in other universes and still says she's "passed around" so...

Or my favorite example, Donna Troy.

See, Barbara and Donna (Diana too, but less) have something in common, something I believe being the reason of these messes.

Being the female character among male characters.

So I'm specifically taking Donna and the OG Titans for this.

She dated Roy:

Titans Annual #1 (2025)

Wally had a crush on her:

Teen Titans Vol 1 #51

Her and Garth in the Titans serie... Oh and, as of recently, they also had something in canon comics:

World's Finest: Teen Titans #2

And if you think she was safe from Dick, since in canon comics they're more like siblings and have no romantic feelings for each other? Let me introduce you to Teen Titans Go!...

Season 5, Episode 35

Oh and, um, whatever this is...

Multiversity: Teen Justice #5

That's, well, Raven.

(SHOULD HAVE BEEN STARFIRE YOU COWARDS!)

Barbara suffers the same thing, the difference is that in the BatFamily some of the characters are related or actual family (as in adopted siblings and all).

So it's more "scandalous" and more talked about I suppose?

The other girls in the BatFamily are also suffering from this.

Stephanie was with Tim:

Robin #57 (1993)

Luke too...

Batwoman 2x13

And Cassandra:

Future State: Batgirls #2

Cass with Steph, as you've seen.

One with Damian:

Harley Quinn: The Animated Series: Legion of Bats! (2022)

And Tim used to find her attractive in the Batgirl costume of Babs?

Batgirl #45 (2000) — Harley Quinn #10 (2000)

Even Cass, who seems to notice this kind of things by how people look at her, noticed.

Batgirl #46 (2000)

But well, Tim simply had a thing for the costume, probably.

Red Robin #15 (2009)

Helena with Dick:

Nightwing/Huntress #3 Cover

And almost risked with Jason:

Variant Cover of Red Hood #3 (CANCELED)

(And then there's whatever in the toxic yuri her and Babs have going on, but that's not "canon" in any universe ig🙄)

The problem isn't Barbara, the problem are, as always, weird writers. But no one acknowledges it...?

Dick, in a way, should be called "passed around in the BatFamily" in these people's logic too.

Babs:

Nightwing #55 (1996)

Helena:

Somewhere in Nightwing/Huntress

Bette:

Young Justice #20

He had a crush on Kate as a kid in the movies, pretty sure they were the same age and she's not Bruce's cousin, but still Kate y'know:

He says it in this moment from Batman: Bad Blood!

Harley:

Grayson Annual #3

Old Lady Harley#2

Selina once kissed him to make Bruce jealous (she didn't know Nightwing was the first Robin tho!)...

Nightwing #52 (1996)

Sorta "passed around" in the Titans too!

Donna (Teen Titans Go!)

Kory:

Starfire #7

Raven had a crush on him and...yeah this unfortunately happened:

The New Teen Titans #39

Bette again, him and M'gann kinda? But not really? (and whatever in the toxic yaoi him and Roy had going on).

And yet, you'll never hear someone saying Diana, Donna, Cassandra, Stephanie, Helena or Dick are "passed around like a blunt" or call them a bicycle.

(Also again, those terms are just disgusting...)

You know who's missing here tho? Garth.

It's so hard to have them all together💔 If there's one, then another is missing. And then viceversa.

I know it's a lot of characters but😔

Have some pics where there's everyone

Art by George Perez

Nightwing Secret Files

Should be from Teen Titans 2003 but I don't remember the issue...

And have this just because they're so adorable

Batgirl #15

They shove each other's tongue in the other's throats.

Nightwing #38 (1996)

They slept together multiple times.

Birds of Prey #71 (1999), Nightiwng Annual #2, Nightwing #97 (2016)

And include being kinky as hell.

And even in the era where she called him "brother", he always had a crush on her.

Batman Family #13

And I'm sorry, I can't see a pair where one had a crush over the other as siblings. I never had a crush on any of my siblings and the thought is disgusting af to me😭 (Edit: Little clarification over a mistake in the not seeing my siblings in a romantic way thing: Ofc "siblings coded" doesn't mean actually being siblings, made a little mistake there.

HOWEVER.

I had people in my life I consider or have considered a brother and a sister. Both parties would have rather die than even consider dating each other or do more. That's siblings coded to me.)

In my humble opinion, you can't be "siblings coded" if:

• You made out

• Slept together

• Had a crush on the other

BUT you know what's siblings coded?

Kissing once but feeling nothing.

Titans Annual #1 (2025)

Having never had a crush on the other (general moments honestly, wouldn't know what to pick. Just know that even in Teen Titans 1966, basically all the other Fab Five (Wally, Roy, Garth) had something for Donna (Garth more like in future comics tho? But still, Roy and Wally did for sure ever since) EXCEPT for Dick.

And... Being stuck in what you consider (and is) a nightmare, in which you apparently married your the other one and had kids with them.

Nightwing #10 (1996)

Literally that issue was a whole nightmare for him and one of the things in that nightmare reality is that he married and had kids with Donna.

This.

If you ask me, this is siblings coded.

This guy already has an adopted sister (Cass), an half-sister (Melinda) and a sister figure (Donna). Don't know why Babs needs to be another one... Especially after all they did together.

Him and Babs probably knows each other very deeply in more than one way wdym "oh they're so siblings"😭
