Did you know that most 8 year olds are in grades 2-3? They’re, on average, 3 ¾-4 feet tall. They weigh 50-60 pounds, about the same as a bulldog.
This is just a random set of facts, and is in no way connected to the fact that a lot of people think Dick started fighting crime at 8.
Okay, but now I’m picturing Bruce dealing with a very tiny child who insists on accompanying him in this bright costume and Bruce is like, okay. You can “fight crime” with me.
Cue Bruce running along rooftops, with lil’ Dickie on his heals keeping carefully curated coms with Alfred.
The streets are clear. Because Bruce made sure of it like, two hours ago. But Bruce has this “patrol” parkour route all figured out to give him a workout and Dick an outlet for all that energy.
Agent A occasionally spices things up by identifying cats “stuck” in trees (Thank you, Selina). And letting them know when there’s someone very elderly or otherwise vulnerable who could use a late-night escort from Leslie’s clinic.
Dick doesn’t catch on for years, because Bruce isn’t really lying. It is genuinely important to him that Dick learn that walking a lone drunk girl home or helping that old homeless guy stand and giving him a Wayne Enterprises reference card so he can apply for a job is every bit an act of fighting crime as punching a thug in the face.

Dick Grayson is Rromani. Making him into a genocidal fascist is not only an insult to his character but to the Rroma. This is in no way acceptable. It is antiziganist and incredibly disrespectful on so many levels.
He is one of, if not the most, iconic Rromani characters and him being made a fascist follows the decision by marvel to have Wanda Maximoff, a rromani woman, join hydra, a nazi organization. These are blatantly antiziganist and follow a dangerous trend in recent media that threatens the safety of minorities. We are being demonized and being made to be the perpetrators of fascism, of genocide, of Nazism. I have had enough and it is time the creators knew this. Fascism is not a joke, a simple plot device. It is what leads to genocide. To the deaths of millions and it is not to be taken lightly. These stories, arcs, whatever you want to call them, are normalizing fascism. This is incredibly dangerous and dc and marvel need to hear this message.
if you are gadje please reblog this. The Rroma will not stand for this. Neither should you.
What the fuck did DC do?!?!!?!?!
This -.-
What the ever. Loving. Fuck.
Some stuff I’ve been doing to practice with stark lighting. Ended up becoming a little series in homage to Tim Sale instead. I think I shall call it…GOTHAM NOIR. Or HEAVILY INKED SHADOW STUFF. I know I am not the only one who names their drawing series. It’s great fun! Like naming a new pet or a really strong perfume.
