Dick and Barbara: *watching Damian jump from one gigantic memento to another in the Batcave*

Barbara: He is kind of adorable.

Dick: I know! Isn’t he? Remember when Jason was like this?

Jason: What the heck do you people say when I’m not here?

Alfred: *cutting off Dick’s atrocious ponytailed hair*

Tim: *walks into the Batcave, wiping the sleep from his eyes*

Tim: *yawns* What’s going on, Alfred? Are we poor?


Nah. He just didn’t have enough patience to bring your brother all the way to the barber, Timmy. The tail had to go.

Jason: Let me tell you about a little innovation called “Netflix”. You’ll never miss another movie again.

Tim: Really?

Jason: I swear. You pick a film on your computer. Three days later, there’s a disc in your mailbox. You gotta stay up with technology, Timbo!

Tim: Gee. Thanks.

Jason: *cockily walks away*

Tim [to Dick]: Can you believe he doesn’t know about streaming? If I ever get that out of touch, kill me.


That’s what being in a coffin for a long time can do to you, Timmy.

joons:

“I just don’t understand why Clark wouldn’t just say, ‘Save my mother’ instead of ‘Save Martha.’ The whole thing is just silly.”

Luthor: Martha, Martha, Martha. Well, the mother of a flying demon must be a witch. And the punishment for witches – what is that? That’s right. Death by fire.

Luthor: If you kill me, Martha dies. And if you fly away, Martha also dies. But if you kill the Bat, Martha lives.

Bruce: [with disgust] I bet your parents taught you that you mean something, that you’re here for a reason. My parents taught me a different lesson. Dying in the gutter. For no reason at all.

Clark: Save Martha.

Bruce: Why did you say that name?

Lois: It’s his mother’s name.

These six lines demonstrate the layers needed to get Bruce to his realization. He knows Superman has parents. He is not interested. Luthor knows Superman has a mother and uses her against him, dehumanizing her completely as he does so. Clark begs for Martha to be saved for who she is, not for her relationship to him, since Luthor and Bruce have both made it quite clear that the mother of a flying demon doesn’t matter. Bruce realizes Martha is his mother. Lois – a human, a woman throwing herself in front of a gun/spear to save someone she loves – says “It’s his mother’s name” like it’s the most important thing in the world. And it is. And Bruce is wrong. And he crumples.

You cannot watch BVS and think you can just forget all the dialogue that’s come before and then turn around and claim it doesn’t make sense. It is all right there, you lazybones.

YES.

Wayne Manor, 3 AM…

Dick: *teary-eyed, sniffling, and sneezing*

Dick: *heads to the kitchen and pours himself a glass of milk*

Dick: *pauses when he hears swift, clicking sounds*

Dick: *thinks to himself, “WTF?!”, and grabs an escrima stick from a secret compartment behind the refrigerator*

Dick: *wipes his nose with the back of his hand and prepares to pounce on the silhouette by the breakfast table*

Dick: aaaaaAAAHHH –

Tim: *swivels around, dead-eyed and on his sixty-fourth cup of coffee*

Tim: I typed your symptoms on my laptop here. And it says you could have Network Connectivity Problems.


@prison-mikes-bandana, an updated version. Haha.

“Robin War” be like…

Robin [to Duke and the other wannabe Robins]: Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into Robins.


Said the tiny, thirteen-year-old bird.

Things that earn you “The Look” from Alfred…

Alfred: *adjusting Jason’s bow tie and dusting off his tuxedo*

Jason: Do I have to tuck my shirt in? Because, honestly, that’s kind of a deal-breaker.

Alfred: *narrows eyes*


The ensuing fear in Jason’s eyes… Man.
