a-wayne-at-heart:

My dream Batman canon issue: ALL the four Batboys (Dick, Jason, Tim, Damian) and Cass coming out of their respective bedrooms at the Manor in their sleep civvies, woken by the scent of Alfred’s cooking; each getting to the kitchen in his/her own Extra way, playfully but competitively shoving each other out of the way; Tim breaking off from the chaos to open the door, high-fiving/fist-bumping Duke and Luke as they file in; Babs arriving two minutes later, on the phone with Steph, telling the latter to come ASAP (breakfast is almost served); Kate coming in much later, amused by the loud morning chatter, nodding at Bruce, who’s seated at a kitchen stool, patting Titus on the head while Alfred the cat purrs on his lap.

I dunno. Something incredibly MUNDANE like this when Tim comes back. We already had Batburger, and that was lovely. Just… It would be great if they were ALL there.

Selina coming in through a second story window; Basil catching up with Cass and Harper, telling them how Jean-Paul’s meditating on a mountain somewhere so he can’t make it, while Alfred mops up his clay trail. Maybe Clark and Lois (literally) flying in to drop Jon off for a sleepover with Damian.

Too much to ask?

Thoughts while watching “Pirates of the Carribean: Revenge of Salazar”

*The search for the trident of Poseidon* Oh, it’s with Arthur Curry.

*Henry Turner shows up* Ooooh… More like, Dick Grayson…

*Henry says he wants to save his dad* Oh, Bruce must be stuck in some alternate dimension again and Dick’s doing his best to find him. Such a persistent son.

*Jack Sparrow gets into trouble* If Jack were a Batboy, he’d definitely be Jason Todd.

*Henry and Corina (?) banter* She’s kind of like Babs: relies a lot on logic and science… Dick’s more likely to believe in the supernatural…

*Henry meets Jack* Oh, oh! Nightwing and Red Hood team-up pirate AU!

I’m posting this halfway into the movie.

So, yeah… I may sort of kind of maybe have a DC/Batfamily, er, fixation.

The Batboys and schooling…

From how I understand canon…

Dick was an average student who seemed more enthusiastic to go on patrol with Batman and Superman. He tried university for a while.

Jason took his studies seriously. He was the top student in class (with the report card to prove it)!

Tim naturally has superior intellect, but is often distracted by his dedication to vigilante work (thus, not a “model” student). He has plans to go to college.

Damian was pressured to excel at everything. He received incredibly expensive and topnotch homeschooling from a very young age (with a curriculum probably too tedious even for most adults).
