Tim [about Damian]: Okay, so after a quick scan of his Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest and Instagram, this is what I know –
Jason: Privacy is dead?
Tag: incorrect batfamily quotes
What Batman really feels when he sees the Batkids in action…
Bruce: I don’t know whether or not to be angry or impressed.
When your youngest brother tells you to stay put by the Batmobile as he sneaks into one of the Joker’s lairs…
Red Hood: What am I supposed to do out here?
Robin: Why don’t you go meditate on the poor life decisions you’ve made?
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.
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!)
Dancing with your “fiancé” at a Wayne Enterprises gala be like…
Tam: I think your hand is supposed to be on my hip.
Tim: Right. Apparently I learned the girls’ part of this dance. Would you mind leading?
Batman: So, how’d it go?
Commissioner Gordon: Oh, for – ! I am in the bathroom! Is nothing sacred to you people???
Why Dick is Damian’s favorite older brother…
Tim [about Damian]: In a way, I think we learned more from him than he learned from us.
Jason: Well, obviously. Because we taught him nothing.
Damian: I can’t believe Todd ruined another family barbecue!
Jason: *offended* Hey! Everybody pees in the pool!
Tim: Not from the diving board!
Alfred [about Damian’s piano recital]: Master Bruce, you have to be there! You’ve missed much too many precious moments in the children’s lives.
Bruce: What? Name twelve.
