Okay, but @nevertrustastilesthing, how about this for a Batman show, just call it like The Waynes or something, idk. But instead of being about Batman, its about Bruce and his kids, the whole dysfunctional Batclan under one roof.

You’ve got Dick, the eldest at eighteen, former circus brat adopted by Bruce after his parents were killed by Zucco when he was eight. And just a year younger than him you’ve got the second eldest, Jason, a street kid who used to be used by Black Mask’s organization as a drugrunner or something, hence keeping his canon hatred of drug dealers who sell to kids. And they’ve got a bad case of sibling rivalry because Dick’s the golden boy who can never do anything wrong while Jason’s rough around the edges because Bruce didn’t take him in until he was already like eleven or twelve. But the flip side of that is Jason’s got more of an actual father-son bond with Bruce because he never had a father figure to replace, whereas Dick had eight years of being someone else’s son, which has kept him from fully embracing Bruce as his father. And maybe they’re both Robin, Dick created the persona but now he and Jason switch off, taking shifts, because it helps with the secret identity thing and Bruce doesn’t like them being out there all that much and limits them as much as he can (he knows they’ll just go around him if he tries to cut them off completely).

And then a couple years younger, you’ve got Cass and Tim, around the same age, Cass of course being Lady Shiva’s daughter and Tim orphaned when a supervillain killed his parents. And Cass is Batgirl, because when Bruce tried to lay down the same restrictions about crime fighting he gave Dick and Jason, she just looked at him and then went and did what she wanted anyway. And Tim’s more of a tech wizard, not really in a huge hurry to share the Robin persona with his older brothers, because he’s got mad hacker skills to keep him busy.

Which puts Tim on the trail of some cyber-vigilante named Oracle who seems to be behind the appearance of an all-female crew of vigilantes inspired by Batman and Robin….Batwoman, Huntress and Spoiler. Which has Dick and Jason pissed off, because who the hell gave these impostors permission to operate in their city (hey, you don’t need biology to inherit Bruce’s ego), whereas Cass is just full-on amused and frequently helps the girls, just for the hell of it. And then Jason and Huntress start dating, which may or may not have something to do with Jason being ticked at Bruce and wanting to piss him off, and Tim thinks its hilarious that his pseudo-nemesis Oracle seems to be crushing hard on his oldest brother Dick….

And then of course, you’ve got Bruce finding out about Damian and getting him away from the League of Assassins, and integrating the twelve year old Demonspawn into the household, much to the dismay of his older brothers and delight of his sister (Damian and Cass get along great. what? they were both raised as assassins, plus their respective mommy issues, they have so much in common).

And Season One could end with Jason’s death, which leads into the Season Two arc of Jason being resurrected in a Lazarus Pit and becoming the Red Hood, obsessed with avenging his own murder while his family tries to get through to him and bring him back. And Season Three could be a Court of Owls storyline with Dick getting fed up with Bruce’s complete inability to handle normal human emotions and have a healthy relationship with his eldest, so Dick leaves home and tries to find his own path. And Cobb takes advantage of the emotional chasm between Dick and Bruce to mess with his head and try and recruit Dick as the newest Talon, convince him to return to his ‘real’ family’s heritage.

And then you’ve got plenty of material with Lady Shiva trying to get her revenge on Bruce for ‘stealing’ her daughter from her, and Talia’s bound to pop up again eventually, and there’s always plenty of fun to be had with the Batkids’ rather complex feelings about Bruce’s rather complex on-again, off-again relationship with Catwoman (Jason’s all for it, Dick and Tim have their reservations, Cass is keeping her opinion to herself and Damian is just Not Impressed).

Would fit in easily on any number of networks, keep the focus on family drama so they can spread out the special effects with the high-octane Batman and Robin and Batgirl adventures, and its a totally different side of Batman than they’ve used on any of the live action or cartoon takes on him so far, because they’ve never tried to use all the Batkids at once before. But there’s just SO much fodder for epic sibling dysfunction with Dick, Jason, Cass, Tim and Damian all under one roof, and all with vastly different dynamics with Bruce.

Do you ever have that moment when a kid is looking at you and you realize that they’re looking at you as a grown up? Then its like no child im a children too, dont. Im sorry my outward appearance confuses you.

The moment in my life when I realized that 95% of adults are just freaked out teenagers in older bodies trying desperately to hide the fact that they don’t really know or understand what’s going on was probably the most important realization I’ve ever had

anyway jeff bezos could eradicate homelessness. he could literally give each homeless person 100k and it would only take less than .5% of his entire wealth. what the actual god giving fuck

Why do you think they deserve it

Well shelter is a basic need, and would at the very least allow them a place where they can get back on their feet. Food water and shelter are necessary for a healthy body and psychology. There’s also the fact that they’re people too, and a little help goes a long way in making a decent community. There’s plenty of reasons

Yeah they need stuff, but why does every homeless person deserve 0.5% of someone’s income

You have five hundred apples, and just one day to eat them all. 

You pass by a small crowd of hungry children, and decide you’d rather 455 apples go rotten than give them to some snotty brat who isn’t your problem.

It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked for your 500 apples, or that you aren’t the parent of any of those kids. in the moment you decide to walk away, it doesn’t matter why they’re hungry, or who owes who what.

You had the opportunity to help people, you had the ability to help people, you had the resources to help people. You had everything you needed to make a small, tiny little difference in someone’s life, and you decided not to.
