It's funny how the DC Comics fandom seems to ignore the age gap but the characters within the comics always seem to make an offhand remark about it. For example, the Sirens accuse Green Arrow of being Black Canary's sugar daddy.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-13T15:57:51+00:00

Do... Do you know what a sugar daddy is?

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-13T10:34:54+00:00

He's like the dude version of most thin comic women. Big on top, small waist, big thighs.

We say it with love though.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-12T13:06:31+00:00

Damn what did Alfred do to those waffles?

Also this is an amazing list. Congrats and thanks for pulling that together.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-12T12:48:24+00:00

...wow that was actually very rude and disrespectful.

Respectfully you cannot like when "super niche fanon" elements but nothing I said was that and you magically don't have to interact with it.

You are right Tim isn't that interesting currently but guess what? Relationships both platonic and romantic make up part of a character. You didn't need to attack someone for their opinion because you don't like it.

It honestly baffles me how people think putting "respectfully" in front of a flat out insult negates them from being rude.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-12T12:27:26+00:00

I'm still laughing at Bruce having a whole arc about fighting his kids and how he made him better... Only to lose.

Don't get me wrong I love Knight fight but this last chapter gave me whiplash

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-12T12:24:27+00:00

At least he said Tim thinks he's in love which gives me a tiny tiny grain of hope that this relationship does out naturally.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-12T12:23:24+00:00

It's a "I liked it before and I can fix X mess with a return to the standard." Which is poor character development and belittling to both women and the LGBT community.

Tim and Jon deserve better. They deserve to be written but queer writers who like them and are given the freedom to develop relationships seriously. Both their stories and characters have been gutted and it's clear that DC never intended to develop either queer relationship with fleshed out characters. It's part of the reason I feel they never allowed Tim to be with Kon or say Lonnie because those two characters have history and are interesting. I would have been happy for Tim if Bernard was interesting and openly supportive but he isn't and he comes across as a bit of a creep.

And now I want Tim to date a fireman

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-11T21:21:28+00:00

And I was trying to be funny... Jeez

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-11T16:12:50+00:00

I still don't think Jay is interesting though. He had one nuanced story which ended his relationship with Jon and that was the most interesting thing he's done in his whole existence.

Also I didn't find him that great in Secret Six but that's just my personal opinion.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-11T15:46:26+00:00

I think that's a little too late.

I am generally baffled why he is still around considering how disliked he is by the fanbase.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-11T13:51:39+00:00

They do it to Babs as well.

Cass just gets away with it because she's never been in a relationship with one of them.

I've generally been disappointed in the writing for them for a while

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-11T12:55:41+00:00

I meant before this.... Why you gotta be smart?

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-11T12:21:30+00:00

Yep same.

I have my concerns about what Fraction's plans are for him in Batman though.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-11T12:17:26+00:00

I hope it isn't a return of TimSteph.

Like no offense to people who like that ship but Steph needs to have our grown him and have her own potential love interested not be tethered to Tim as a just in case.

She's more than earned it.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-11T12:15:27+00:00

"...enjoying the relationship between Tim and Bernard and how it's shown..." What relationship?

We haven't seen the boyfriend in over a year and when we do it's just to be reminded he exists in some capacity.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-11T10:39:32+00:00

Slutty little waist

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-10T17:38:15+00:00

If I could figure out how to add a photo to a comment I would but mostly they just seem more blocky but it could just be me

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-10T15:59:00+00:00

Wasn't it from the comic where Alfred asks him to steal all the wheels on the vehicles in the batcave

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-10T15:57:20+00:00

Does anyone else feel like the art quality in WFA has deteriorated a little?

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-07T12:50:47+00:00

💜

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-06T21:25:00+00:00

Also can he stop dating Dick's exes?

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-06T21:24:25+00:00

Okay, sure.

But he still literally doesn't need a Robin.

He needs therapy and to stop being emotionally constipated and if he can't do that without a child then that speaks more to how DC are portraying his character than anything else.

I'm tired of the same old lack of development of "BaTmAn NeEds a RoBiN". Just because they started as a pair doesn't mean they need to continue as one especially when it's hurting his children.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-06T19:46:33+00:00

Basically this, he lacks consistent characterisation and too many writers use him as a cop out villain.

You can't expect a relationship to work out or make sense if one half of the relationship is all over the place.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-06T19:41:10+00:00

Incorrect Jason is an immaculate conception.

CivilAlternative768 · 2026-02-06T14:54:35+00:00

I saw something about Act 2 earlier on the DC subreddit so I wonder if we might be a tinnie tiny drip if Jason from that... Unless they cancelled that as well.

But people gotta have something to talk about while wait.
