I wouldn’t even be on Tumblr if it weren’t for Young Justice. The only reason I even decided to get a Tumblr account was because of Young Justice.
Tim and Jason sitting in the manor with Damian, helping him out with his college application
Tim: D why does your resume say that you actively volunteer at an orphanage? The hours you put on here say you work there more than full time.
Jason: I am totally for lying on your resume, but you have to at least make it believable brat. If you’re gonna commit a crime at least do it well.
Damian: Those hours are accurate, they may even be a little on the lower end.
Tim: Dami wouldn’t we notice you leaving every single day to go volunteer for 10 hours a day? We would never see you.
Damian: Why would I need to leave the manor to volunteer at an orphanage?
Jason: . .
Tim: . .
Jason: You listed Alfred as your supervisor?
Tim: WE ARE THE ORPHANS?!?

Nobody is disregarding canon more than Batfam fans lmao
i KNOW the canon and i am CHOOSING to ignore it because i have deemed it STUPID
but ALSO
you can pry this little detail or panel i liked from my cold, dead hands.
Obligatory reminder that Dick Grayson did not ever even consider sending Tim to Arkham
This is what he said-
He wanted Tim to talk to a therapist. One from Metropolis no less, so not even Arkham adjacent in any way.
And for more context here, these are the other things Dick said-
I’m not saying Tim was wholly in the wrong for not explaining himself or anything like that. And I understand that sometimes it’s fun to woobify Timbo a bit by writing fics and things were everyone was against him during this time and all of that. I get that.
But I also want everyone to know that Dick did not ever canonically do that.
Dick did not do everything right by any means, but he never wanted to send his little brother to Arkham. That is purely fanon.
THANK YOU!!!
Dick and Tim were in very different places. Dick was right that Tim really did need therapy. Tim was right that Bruce was alive. They both made huge mistakes. Dick shouldn't have ripped away the last stable role Tim had at that moment. Tim should have explained why he believed Bruce was alive. They both screwed up.
DC had both of them acting like Bruce. It was awful and messy and so unnecessary. Fannon ignores the cannon that, in the end, Dick let Tim go. Tim was an obvious mess (his biggest objection to dying is that Bruce would stay lost in time) but not actively suicidal. The worst mistake Dick made wasn't letting Tim go on his Bruce Quest. It was letting him go on it alone. Jason was out of the question at that point, but Cass would have gone with Tim if asked.
The bottom line is that the cannon situation was plenty awful as written. Fannon doesn't need to pile on the misery. Yes, fanfiction is fun when it explores the various "what if" scenarios but it's gotten to the place where fannon is becoming indistinguishable from cannon. That does no one any good.
As far as I can tell, the Arkham thing isn't canon, but I don't think it's unreasonable for fans to jump there, or for a canon-compliant fic to have Tim worry about it.
Arkham is the main association Batman & related comics have with any kind of mental health services. While some characters do voluntarily get out-patient therapy, that's such a tiny blip in the mass of canon that it's not going to be where most readers' minds go (especially when fandom-telephone means the "Metropolis" line is easily missed).
Jean Loring gets sent to Arkham before Red Robin, so Tim has no reason to think people from the hero-sphere are exempt if they do something egregious enough. Jason Todd has already been to Blackgate once (and I think is sent to Arkham later?) so he knows former Bats / Wayne family members being imprisoned is on the table.
And. Well. Tim's stepmom Dana was institutionalized after Jack's murder. Tim took steps to make sure it was in a better place than Arkham, but it still happened. If I remember correctly, it's because Dana couldn't hold onto the idea that Jack was really dead.
So...Tim (and by extension the readers) already have the association of Tim's dad dies, a member of Tim's family refuses to believe it, and is institutionalized.
If I also recall correctly, no one suggested Tim get any kind of counseling when Janet, Jack, or numerous friends were killed. People reached out with comfort and support, yes! The page where Dick is calling Tim and begging him to pick up the phone or call him back after Jack's death rips my heart out! Cass & Tim have fraught conversations about Stephanie! Bruce does his (very awkward) best.
But no one says "hey kiddo, let's get you a therapist" after Janet's murder. or Jack's.
So I can totally see how Dick broaching the topic now feels much more extreme than it actually is. Because it's a break from the earlier pattern. Which makes Tim (and readers) ask "What's different this time?"
Well, this time, Tim is refusing to believe his loved on is really dead.
It's totally possible that the actual reason is that Dick's had the experience/growth to go "wait shit vigilantism isn't actually a substitute for therapy" that he didn't yet have for the earlier ones. But that's a very internal character change that's hard enough for readers to see, let alone Tim.
The Arkham things is not canon, no. But with all the context, the idea isn't so much of a leap as a tripping over one's shoelaces to get there.
"The Arkham things is not canon, no. But with all the context, the idea isn't so much of a leap as a tripping over one's shoelaces to get there."
No, it's a huge leap regardless of context. Tim in canon has absolutely no reason to believe Dick wants to send him to Arkham. That's something that's never even implied by the text of any comic, much less something that Tim needs to mentally refute in-universe to himself. IRL, thinking that Dick wanted to send Tim to Arkham requires you to blatantly ignore several years of comic canon and more specificially the entirety of how Dick and Tim's relationship was portrayed from Infinite Crisis through the Reborn era.
Even starting at the basic foundations of the idea, you can see how ridiculous it is. Arkham Asylum's full name is the "Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane." Tim is not a criminal nor is he insane. Neither Dick nor Tim in-universe have any reason to think that Tim being there is an option that's even in the same room as the several other alternatives that exist, much less on the table!
Jean Loring gets sent to Arkham before Red Robin, so Tim has no reason to think people from the hero-sphere are exempt if they do something egregious enough. Jason Todd has already been to Blackgate once (and I think is sent to Arkham later?) so he knows former Bats / Wayne family members being imprisoned is on the table.
Jean ended up in Arkham because she killed Sue Dibny and covered it up by faking her own attempted murder. Her fate had nothing to do with the Batfamily's personal views on Arkham and should not be taken as such. Jason ended up in Arkham because he attempted to kill the Batfam on multiple occasions and then decided to go on a murder spree of petty criminals while broadcasting their deaths on social media. The circumstances behind Jason ending up in Arkham (which were largely out of Dick's power to control, as I pointed out here) are dramatically different from anything related to Tim's grief over Bruce's supposed death.
Pretending like "Dick wanted to send Tim to Arkham" has any sort of understandable textual support also flat-out ignores that Dick himself had just been trapped and tortured in Arkham by the Black Glove less than a month (in-universe) before Bruce died, during Batman R.I.P. Which Tim knows about because he was there, trying to track down an MIA Bruce and deal with Steph coming back from the grave. It was a big deal and we got a whole arc about Dick cleaning up corruption within Arkham and fighting Jeremiah Arkham during his time as Batman out of it!
If I also recall correctly, no one suggested Tim get any kind of counseling when Janet, Jack, or numerous friends were killed....But no one says "hey kiddo, let's get you a therapist" after Janet's murder. or Jack's.
Bruce, Dick, and Tim took a year-long vacation from normal vigilantism after those events and went globetrotting in an attempt to retrace Bruce's original training journey during his youth and "find themselves." That was the entire plot of them being absent from Gotham during 52/One Year Later, which was used to introduce Kate Kane as Batwoman and kickstart the Evil Cass arc. Bruce went off to go meditate in a cave in Nanda Parbat for two months and Dick and Tim spent that time healing and taking down Intergang and other various criminal enterprises in Europe. We know that Dick and Tim talked a lot about Tim's losses during that year off, because it's why Dick is so shocked that Tim is doing so poorly in Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul:
“Tim doesn’t say anything. And I realize…he doesn’t care. He’s been so hurt this last year and a half…lost so much…I thought we’d gotten past it…or started to deal with it…were Bruce and I just believing what we wanted to?”
Dick's suggestion that Tim see a therapist in Metropolis needs to be viewed not in the context of Dick "breaking an earlier pattern" but in the context of Dick thinking that Tim was starting to heal from all of his losses and then being violently reminded that Tim is not, in fact, doing fine. We know what's different this time: Dick watched Tim have a breakdown beside a Lazarus Pit less than three months prior and then saw him go through yet another loss, seemingly go into denial over it, and then push away all attempts of his family and friends to reach out to him in the aftermath. From Dick's perspective, Tim broke down in his arms three months ago and is now a) pushing everyone in his life away after the death of yet another loved one and b) denying Bruce is dead. That's why Dick reacts differently. And it's a perfectly understandable and reasonable reaction that doesn't really require any further thought than that, to be honest.
Thinking that there's any support for the Arkham suggestion also requires ignoring Dick's canonical response to Tim's denial of Bruce's death, the fact that Tim was pushing everyone away in the aftermath of Bruce's death and refusing to explain anything he was thinking, and that Dick and Tim were shown to still have a very strong bedrock of love and trust in each other even at the rockiest point in their relationship. It's not just missing a single line in a single comic issue; it's refusing to engage with the entirety of Dick and Tim's canon relationship before, during, and after Bruce's death.
Frankly, I think you're attempting to justify an inherently unreasonable fanon concept to yourself by desperately grasping at tiny snippets of canon that 99.9% of people who work with the concept don't even know about.
People who engage with "Dick wanted to put Tim in Arkham" are not doing so based on the knowledge that Jean Loring got sent to Arkham after Identity Crisis or that Tim's stepmom was institutionalized after Jack's murder; they largely don't even know that Tim has a stepmom. They don't actually know enough canon to make an informed assessment on the topic at all. They just made it up for extra angst points because it's a fun little way in their minds to make Tim even more of a poor little meow meow character, and then it fell victim to the fandom telephone problem! It's just a ridiculous assertion that requires some heavy character assassination and a blatant refusal to actually engage with canon on any level, and it needs to be viewed in that context.
Bruce: I have to leave. My child is hurt.
Diana: Which one?
Bruce: I don't know. But one of them always is and I need a reason to leave.
Something that is so very important to me is the idea that Bruce Wayne—not just Batman—is doing everything he can for Gotham. Like pouring his money into foundations and public programs and doing whatever the hell he can with his endless wealth because at his core Bruce wants to help Gotham. Give me Bruce Wayne who is doing more for Gotham than anybody else in the world and it still not being enough without Batman's help.
He’s essentially fighting a war on two completely different fronts.
That’s always how I’ve thought about it. It’s also a good rebuttal for critics who say he should stop beating up people and just do more charity/therapy. The whole reason he has to be Batman is because the money isn’t enough. He could sink the entire Wayne fortune and the profits of WE every year into the city and it still wouldn’t be enough. The same is true for for Batman — without Bruce Wayne’s access, intel, persona, etc — he’s limited significantly. He might be fine fighting lower level goons, but Batman on his own, without Bruce Wayne, will never truly be able to affect the big picture.
They work hand in hand (obligatory screw that “Bruce Wayne is the mask” bullshit)
so fucking humbling to be like “no I like that character a normal amount” and then you can literally feel your heart rate spike at a mention of them like a dog that just heard the word “treat”

So I've looked into everything I have, and even google, but does anyone know if the apartment Jason shared with Catherine before she died had a legit street address in Gotham or just the street name? Or would it just be ### Park Row, Gotham City, NJ?
actually the best part of the new superman movie is the fact that lois and clark have been dating for only three months because that means clark fell so hard he told her his whole ass secret identity in 90 days. fucking u-haul lesbian behavior.

Tim will always be funny to me because he is basically unkillable. He heard about Jason’s death and went “lmao skill issue”.
Has he come close a few times? Yes. Did it stick? Nope.
Bruce: I am Batman. Bruce Wayne is a mask.
Dick: I don’t know who I am without Robin or Nightwing and I’m going to continue to not know for most of my story arcs.
Jason: I’m my own hero. I am the Red Hood. (What’s a personal life?)
Tim: I need a break from superheroing.
Damian: I’m going to give up Robin and go to medical school.

I want to write more in 2026. And there’s only one way I can do it—by writing the most self-indulgent garbage you have ever seen.
The small voice in your head that says: "I don't need to write down every small detail of this plot idea, I love it so much, I'll remember this."
That's the devil speaking.
