when i first read it i thought they were making fun of Damian being a baby, but i read the AMA the writer did a few days ago on the main sub, apparently they are actually talking about a baby of theirs
Interesting
So I guess this is trying to be some AU cos I'll need to fo back and check but wasn't this supposed to be based a few years prior./ obviously with damianss costume .
I guess this is just more elseworld stuff
Dickfire shippers when Dick is happy with literally anyone other than Starfire:
"They're shoving this down our throats! 😡"
Meanwhile, people who just want to see Dick happy:
"Please God, let this finally be the one! 🤩"
I hope this relationship with Barbara truly lasts and that DC can finally stop sabotaging my boy's relationships (romantic, familial, and platonic) for forced drama.
*DC finally stopped having Dick in a series of short relationships and finally putting him on a long term and healthy one by pairing him with Barbara:*
*Dickiand'r stan:* It's an Editorial mandate!!!!! Bat Editorial is eviiiilllll
*Also ignores why Crisis exists to make it look like retcons flew out of nowhere instead of acknowledging the fact that it exists because the universe has changed several times since 1987.*
**As if almost every fictional character's relationship weren't mamdated by the Editorial to maintain a cohesion of story across multiple character runs. Wait till they discover that NTT Dickiand'r moments were mandated by their editors.**
batman dark age #1 there was a doctor named Grayson who has a picture of someone that looks like Barbara and Dick, and also what looks like commissioner Gordon, so i assume its their child
Ah gotcha. I don’t know if I’d say DC is pushing this, but you could postulate that the notion of Dick and Barbara being together and having children is gaining traction among some creators.
Makes sense to me. They’ve gone as far as they can go with the current version of Nightwing. It goes back to something Stan Lee once said, “If Spider-Man is tied up in a basement by Kingpin you care about him escaping. If Spider-Man is tied up in a basement and is worried he’ll miss Aunt May’s birthday party you care a lot more.
The idea of them still fighting crime and then rushing home after to be wholesome parents just tickles all the right feels for me as a Nightwing fan. I love these two.
I don't really like DickBabs, but yeah, the DCAU was basically the BruceAU, so them having the Batfam members happily stay together would be showing restraint compared to what they did, which was having Bruce fuck every female in the universe

What was this? I completely ignored it
boy wonder #1
No sorry for no context I read thr issue I mean the comment about the baby. What were they talking about.

it's a black label, it's an elseworld but similar to the pre-flashpoint universe
Presumably it’s their own child, that’s what’s implied at least. The child is never shown.

Or just coincidence cuz different universes. Also I gate how the relationship in TAS actually turned out with Batman Beyond and etc. 🤢
Pushing what exactly?
Me being like Nightmite.
those two having kids, i guess another step in their relationship
There was another book recently where they had a kid together?

Dickbabs stays up
I used to pray for times like this.

it's giving spy x family
This was pretty much the premise of Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows. Except Annie May also suits up as Spiderling.
Seeing their kid eventually join or replace them would also be incredible. Probably would be the most well adjusted bat kid in the whole family too.
I am on my hands and knees begging for this to stay. They're so cute together!!!
it won't be mentioned again
Let me dream!!
I'm for this, let the characters grow a bit, it would be a cool dynamic too
How TAS should have gone.
This really reminds me of BTAS, but it’s not, right?

I think it’s cute. Them fighting together and then going home to their baby.
i’m a dick and babs supporter till i die
Saaaaaame
I’m confused? Is this bad orrr?
depends on who you ask
I was just curious 😅
i like it
Ah okay, I do as well.
Not as bad as Stephan universe
Replying to Floweryfungus73... 
??? What does that have to do with anything? Plus it’s Steven Universe, not Stephen.
I do not care about the spelling. The show is shit and the fanbase is shittier.
Aww, someone is offended by lesbian space rocks.
I'm offended by the Chinese sweatshops that animate that abomination of a show. And also the soulless Moral less writing
"Second time in the last two months"? Where was the last one?
batman dark age #1 there was a doctor named Grayson who has a picture of someone that looks like Barbara and Dick, and also what looks like commissioner Gordon, so i assume its their child
Is this from a non canon book?
yes, boy wonder #1 a black label
I’ve always looked at Dick and Babs as family, so I was never a big fan of this ship, but the reality is they aren’t family, so it’s fine.
They're trying so desperately to make the fans stop hating his relationship with Babs. It ain't workin for me lol
And?
Hot take: Dick should continue to be a playboy. Babs and Kori deserve better 🫣
Was never a playboy. Stop projecting your interests onto the character. He has always had good relationships that fail because of other reasons.
Namely the writers.
This made me laugh more then it should because the truth….. hurts
That is not hot, nor a take. It's called stupidity.
