Tag: incorrect batfamily quotes

Mornings at the Manor…

Alfred: *decorating pancakes with whipped butter and blueberries*

Dick: *eating cereal while doing a one-armed handstand*

Jason: *throwing bacon bits at Dick’s face*

Tim: *enters the kitchen*

Damian: What’s that smell? *sniffs the room*

Everyone else: *stops to sniff* 

Damian: Smells like sweat and anger and shame.

Tim: *with dark rings under his eyes*

Tim: *pours coffee onto the wrong end of his mug*

Tim: *sighs* Yep.

When you have no time for your brother’s nonsense…

Jason: *reading the Gotham Gazette* A local family just got forced out of their own home by ghosts. Who’re they gonna call?

Tim: *pauses from typing on the Batcomputer after working on a case for five hours straight*

Tim: *sighs* The Ghostbusters, Jay?

Jason: No, Tim, their insurance company! That’s just stupid, what you said.

Yeah, Tim. Jason’s got no time for your nonsense right now.

#family patrol nights

I recently posted about a new tag that I’d be using

(#mornings at the manor), which is meant for posts about the Batfamily’s domestic AM shenanigans. Then, I realized that if they had moments of adorable “normalcy” in the mornings, why wouldn’t they have them at night (when they’re usually out on patrol) as well? Hence, the tag above. 

I think I’ve already posted this headcanon on my other Tumblr account (a-wayne-at-heart), but in my mind, the Batkids (especially the Robins) try to find ways to amuse themselves while they’re patrolling together – much to their Batdad’s chagrin (but, really, he’s secretly amused and relieved that his children are getting along). 

When there’s downtime (stakeouts can be boring). When they’re getting on each other’s nerves. When they end up in ridiculous situations. When they’re trying not to dwell on the pressure of constantly being in life-and-death situations (or their own personal troubles). 

Humor can be a pretty effective coping mechanism for vigilantes, too.

So, this tag is for those posts which involve at least the four main Robins (Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian), with or without Batman and/or other family members, friends, colleagues, et al. 

(Maybe I’ll backtrack and tag much older posts. There’s just so many and I don’t have the patience for it right now. Haha.)

So, wow, thank you…

incorrect-batfamily-quotes:

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!)

Reblogging this because, wow. I’m astounded again. Thank you again. 🙂

(Also, the main tags I use can be found in the tags.)

Nightwing: “B-Team” roll call. Hood?

Red Hood: *cocks guns* Here and handsome!

Nightwing: Little D?

Robin: *brandishes katana* Here and crazy!

Nightwing: Red?

Red Robin: *twirls Bo staff* I pity the fool! But also suggest ways he may better himself.

Batman: *facepalms* Hrrrn.

And that it why “Family Movie Nights” now come after “Family Patrol Nights”.

Damian [to Alfred]: Pennyworth! Todd picked his nose, and now he keeps touching me with his finger!

Jason: What good is mining nose gold if I can’t share it with the townspeople?

Dami, maybe just think of it as a rite of passage for little brothers… ?
