Batfamily strategy meetings be like…

Tim: Listen, I’m an integral member of this team and my voice needs to be heard.

Jason: Your pre-pubescent girl screams are going to be duly noted.

Leaving a message on your best friend’s voicemail be like…

Jason [to Roy]: I know I was a jerk the other night…

Jason: Which I am fully ready to blame on alcohol or global warming or my allergy to neon.

Dick: Tim’s bringing someone to the gala tonight.

Jason: Like a real someone or an imaginary someone?

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

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

Roy: *reading a stinky and soggy instruction manual*

30 minutes ago…

Jason: Why are the instructions in the trash can?

Roy: Because I don’t think I need instructions to put together a little girl’s bed.

Jason: I have very low standards for companionship. It comes from having Roy as a partner.

You’re only mean ‘cause you miss him, Jay.

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.

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!)

How Jason “broke up” with Roy in the New 52…

Jason: I’ve been hanging out with you too long.

Roy: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Jason: Both.
