I love how Duke is equally as chaotic as the rest of the batfam he just doesn’t bring attention to it so it goes under the radar.
Like this kid jumped out of a cop car, off a bridge, and survived!
He joined and became one of the leaders of the We Are Robin guys!
He kicked Hal Jordan in the face without questioning him.
Duke is so Chaotic and he’s great.

I love the idea of the Wayne kids dropping extremely vague and disturbing comments during galas. Especially when in uncomfortable situations or if they're just bored. They pull out things from their nightlife too. Other times they just make shit up.
Socialite: Oh, dear, your cheeks look so sullen! Who sucked the life out of you?
Tim, dead serious: An old man with a goatee.
Socialite: Uh... what?
Dick: Once I broke my knee so badly that I swear I could see part of the bone sticking out.
Socialite: Good lord. How on earth did that happen?
Dick: Just clumsy gymnast things ^^
Socialite: The white streak is certainly a bold fashion choice.
Jason: I saw someone get decapitated once, so I could be doing worse in terms of what's on my head, yknow? At least I have one.
Socialite: What's your favourite colour, sweetie?
Damian: Red.
Socialite: Oh that's lovely!
Damian: Like the blood of my enemies.
Socialite: Oh.
Socialite: You must be new to these kind of events.
Duke: Uh, yeah, they're kind of scary. But I've had worse.
Socialite: Worse.
Duke: Well I've been left on top of a skyscraper before with no way down just to 'get over my fear of heights' so, yes.
Socialite: You don't talk very loud, do you? I can barely hear you.
Cass, with a straight face: If I spoke any louder every glass in the room would shatter.
Tim, behind her: I can vouch.

any dc character: *confessing something about their past they kept hidden out of fear/shame*
their batfam bff who had already known for a while and is now desperately trying to hide that they knew the truth this entire time: “oh, wow! that is so crazy, i am so sorry you had to go through that.”

Do you guys think that people give Duke discounts and free stuff yk?
Like he works the day shift so obviously he interacts more with civilians than any of the other bats, and because of a) the fact they see him more often and out in the daylight, not just shrouded in mystery and shadows, and b) just how he is as a person, they really really like him
So like this is a thing i can imagine happening
7:39 am, on a Saturday
The begal stand guy: Hey Signal!!
Duke: What’s up Mr. Spence?
Mr. Spence: Well I had an extra begal sandwich this morning and was wondering if you wanted it?
Duke, being reminded of the good in humanity with tears in his eyes (he forgot to get breakfast before he left): Thank you so much
And obviously Gotham doesnt have the nicest people, so people dont reach out like that a lot, but when they do it absolutely makes Dukes day

bruce would be the kind of dad to make fun of his kids for watching something, then stand there and watch it with like a stupid handful of cashews
and suddenly he’s telling dick his favorite characters, he’s having duke quiz him on names, & stephanie had to pull up the character quizzes again because bruce was adamant that he knew which of his kids are what character
they all come back to the manor after a week in blud and find him wrapped up in a blanket watching the new episode without them

The fandom would be so much better if everyone realized that Batman's kids are just like that. None of them are normal! This is what they were doing before/directly after meeting Bruce:
Dick wanted to kill Anthony Zucco and avenge he parents death.
Jason uncovered a crime front in the troubled youth school he was sent to.
Tim stalked Batman, Nightwing AND the Teen Titans.
Stephanie created a whole vigilante persona to mess with her dad.
Damian and Cass are trained assassin children that can get anywhere.
Duke joined and lead the 'we are Robin movement' along with being a vigilante before he was Signal.
Bruce doesn't control them, he has tried to stop them, they don't listen. They aren't vigilantes because Bruce forced them to, I'm pretty sure they would have done that without his help, they're chaos incarnate!

Damian: Father, I believe it is my duty to inform you that I have found a dog in desperate need of my care and that I am keeping her.
Bruce: I’m sorry, what? Where did you find this dog?
Damian: … her name is noodle, she is a borzoi, and I am keeping her. You do not need to worry about care, that responsibility will rest solely upon my shoulders.
Bruce: you didn’t answer my quest-
Dick, Steph and Duke, all petting the dog: DiDn’t i dO it f o r y o u
Tim and cass, joining in on the fun: wHen aLl I dO is FOr yOu
All of them look to Jason
Jason: … … … ✨kermie✨
All except Bruce and Damian erupt in cheers and applause
Bruce caves.

have u read any of Duke's comics? if so what's your favorite arc? I Really love the cursed wheel which I know is not everyone's fav but I just love the way that duke and Bruce have their mentor/mentee relationship they're so sassy to each other and they really enable each other's dumbass impulses XD
I still gotta read that one, that sounds so fun!!! I think the last one I read was the one where Duke was getting into a fight with some we are Robin people and trying to steal some joker serum. I don’t actually remember which comic that was.
I’m still sort of new to his character (I’ve been read ing We Are Robin and been learning through fan osmosis) so if you have any recommendations please give 🙏
Oh I’ve also been reading Batman and The Signal

duke is an excellent reader and a better writer, however he the things he remembers from books and movies are less direct quotes and more themes and messaging
if you ask him to name the characters from a book he just read he will just shrug at you, and he couldn't quote a line if he tried
he Will however use his powers to fuck with jason who Can quote things he's read by heart. jason an eighth of the way thru a college level lecture on the Lord of the Rings and PTSD and duke will interrupt him with: "How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand… there is no going back?"
jason will just stop in his tracks and LookTM (pride, exuberance) at duke, and duke will look blankly back, before jason realizes that duke just ghost visioned him and get soooo mad (he pouts dramatically for approximatly 0.5 seconds before duke asks a pointed question and the ramble continues)

I love Reverse Robin AUs, but what if we just completely mixed them up. Not in order in anyway. There’s still the core moments, the events that lead to them becoming Robin.
Except Batman has so-and-so and Robin cause Dick made Robin later on and he didn't want to be that person, he wanted to keep that part of his life at Haley’s Curcis with him, so he says “No, I’ll be Robin.”
I just think it would be fun and we need to experiment more. What are these dynamics when you drastically change it more than we have done with Reverse Robin AUs?
