When your friends visit the Batcave for the first time (and are absolutely floored by it)…

Superboy: Can you see…

Robin: Yeah.

Beast Boy: Can you believe…

Robin: Yeah.

Impulse: Can we just…

Robin: No.

When Tim met Damian…

Damian: You have no idea what a pleasure it is for me to finally beet you.

Tim: Thanks…

Tim: Wait, did you say “meet” or “beat”?

Damian: I think you heard me.

Tim: Uh… What?

Bruce putting his sons to sleep be like…

Tim [to Bruce]: Why do I have to sleep beside Damian? He stinks.

Damian: When you fall asleep tonight, I’m gonna fart in your face!

When Tim becomes obsessed with a case…

Tim: I made a new friend.

Dick: Real or imaginary?

Tim: Imaginary.

–

Tim, honey, you need some sunlight. Get out. Hang out with your friends at the Titans Tower more. And put down that coffee mug.

Why Bruce usually prefers to eat dinner alone (and realized that he should stop convincing Alfred to go on vacations)…

Tim [to Damian]: You’re such a #$!+@!

Dick: Guys. Please.

Jason: *smirks*

Damian: What? Did you just call me a “#$!+@”???

Bruce: Boys, that’s enough.

Damian: You can go =$#@* a %>¡#!

Tim: Oh, please, tell me, Damian, how exactly does one =$#@* a %>¡#?

Damian: *gets up from seat* You want me to tell you?

Tim: *crosses arms and sits back* Please, tell me.

Dick: *stands up, readying himself to pry his brothers off each other*

Jason: *starts taking a video with his phone to send to Roy*

Bruce: *rubbing his temples* We will not have this at the dinner table.

Tim: *sneers* I’m all ears.

Annnnnd there was no patrolling that night, just a family trip to the ER.

Charming the ladies be like…

Zoanne: You’re weird.

Tim: Sorry.

Zoanne: No, that was a compliment actually.

Delegating tasks during a mission…

Nightwing: Red Robin, you take those bombs and you throw them off a bridge.

Robin: And throw yourself off while you’re at it!

Some thoughts on “King Arthur” vis-à-vis the DCEU

This’ll be short.

Watched “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” (2017), Guy Ritchie’s vision of it. Music by composer Daniel Pemberton is only the tip of the iceberg of why I LIKE IT.

Very “BvS” deja vu for me, in that I don’t completely understand why critics dislike is as much as they do. Don’t really care. I LIKE IT SO DARN MUCH. Casting. Dialogue. Visuals. Humor. Action. Costumes. Just the sequences (I think they’re brilliant). And perhaps the list will go on as I watch it again, and again, and again.

Audience ratings are far higher anyway. To each his/her own.

Also, thematically (and a bit style-wise), it’s kind of like “The Lion King” meets “The Gladiator” (and not just because of Djimon Hansou) meets “300” (Mr. Snyder, hi!), all movies I adore. Story-wise, it also made the legend of Excalibur so much more interesting to me.

Anyhoo. More on that later.

The whole time, this was in my head: this film might as well be Charlie Hunnam’s Oliver Queen DCEU audition (if he’d seriously consider it. I mean, I know he acknowledged it at one point). The character is basically Oliver Queen in a medieval fantasy AU. Sword holster in lieu of a quiver. Come on.

In conclusion, CHARLIE HUNNAM for Oliver Queen and RYAN POTTER for Tim Drake.

(See what I mean about my DC obsession? I watch these movies and I’m thinking about how they can be incorporated into the DC Universe. Haha!)

Once a Robin, always a Robin…

Batman: You were supposed to keep to the code.

Nightwing: *looks to Red Hood, Red Robin, and Robin*

Nightwing: *shrugs* We figured they were actually more like guidelines.

After deciding that they’d have to “Red Hood their way out” of a standoff with the League of Assassins…

Tim: This is either madness… or brilliance.

Jason: It’s remarkable how often those two traits coincide.
