Dick: Tim is not wrong very often…

Damian: But he is annoying all the time. -Tt-

Jason [to Tim]: *out loud* Why’s dad such a poopy head?

Dick [to Barbara]: *whispers* That’s why he gets timeouts.

Red Hood and Arsenal’s New 52 Safe House, an origin story…

Jason: Think you could run a few background checks on potential roomies?

Tim: You want me to use underground Wayne Enterprises resources for your personal matter, Jason?

Jason: I don’t think Dick would mind.

Tim: You know that?

Jason: I don’t. But if I can’t find a roommate, I may have to go back to sleeping on the sofa in his apartment, and I can’t imagine he’d like that.

Tim: Good point. I’m on it.

Mornings at the Manor…

Tim: *screams from the kitchen* OH, NO!!!

Dick: *bursts out of his room* Oh, no, what???

Tim: *with crumbs all over his face* I did it again. I was sleep-eating. That explains that dream.

Reporting to Batman after patrol…

Nightwing [about the perpetrator and the victim]: This is how he touched her.

Nightwing: *places a hand on Red Hood’s lower back*

Oracle: *wheels into the Batcave*

Oracle: … I can come back.

Oracle: *wheels out of the Batcave*

So, wow, thank you…

I just saw how many followers this blog has as of today, and I’m in awe.

I have all those brilliant film, TV, and song writers who came up with such amusing, deep, or iconic lines to thank. I’m really just borrowing their work and creating a context around them based on comic canon (and, occasionally, my own headcanons). It won’t always be accurate, but the point is to make it fun and imaginable.

I see a quote, and 90% of the time, I’ll instantly have a character in mind to “speak” it and a situation in which the conversation could happen. That’s how rich the DC Universe is. Years and years of material to draw inspiration from.

I do re-word some dialogue to fit the context I want (or because the grammar seems uncomfortably off to me).

I love the slice-of-life kind of things, and I do imagine that even superheroes have very mundane, domestic (even silly) moments that give them joy in between those of chaos and conflict.

So, for those of you who follow because you’re just as amused, inspired, and fangirl-y as I am, thanks for dropping by!

(A shout out to those who support my other Tumblr blog, a-wayne-at-heart, as well!)

Dick:

Wally: Let me give you a little tip: If you have to explain your suit to someone, it’s probably not a good costume.

After interviewing a witness in Gotham City…

Red Robin [on the Comm Link, to Nightwing]: Yeah, she was saying that this guy with a red helmet was really nice and polite, and that he was a gentleman.

Red Robin: *nods*

Red Robin: I wanted to make sure we were talking about the same Jason Todd.

Trying to comfort your younger brother before your return to Blüdhaven be like…

Dick: There comes a time when big brothers leave the nest, Damian.

When you’ve learned the hard way that it’s best not to let your best friend get worried sick about you (and that he doesn’t give a sh*t that Batman sent you on a mission abroad)…

Nightwing: Who’re you calling?

Red Hood: Roy. If I leave him another note that I’m going to Japan, he’ll never speak to me again.
