The Batfamily + The Wall Of Shame

the batfamily + the wall of shame

It’s a relatively unassuming wall toward the northwest corner of the bat cave, one that’s subtly shadowed by the giant penny but nevertheless a blank canvas. 

So it’s not that surprising that even in a family full of detectives, the single post-it note stuck onto the rough concrete went unnoticed until a week after its placement. 

It read: RED ROBIN SLIPPING ON ICE AND FALLING FIVE (5) SEPARATE TIMES DURING ONE FIGHT

Tim was slightly perturbed but not surprised; his lack of balance in his suit’s newly designed boots was particularly egregious that night. He retaliates the only way he knows how.

The second post-it is what grabs the attention of the rest of the bats. 

It reads: JASON STARTING THE KEURIG BUT FORGETTING TO PUT HIS MUG UNDER SO COFFEE FLOODED ONTO THE FLOOR

Was Jason the culprit who stuck the first note onto that wall? Unclear. But that didn’t matter. The deed was done.

Soon the wall was deluged with every color and shape of post-it note, detailing every mishap, small or large, committed by any member of the family. The following is an itemized collection of a selection of entries.

feel free to add on more entires I forgot to mention

Wally West: I don't have that many close male friendships, and sports are the worst, so I just thought, you know, this could be something fun to share.

Dick Grayson: You're becoming an Superhero because you're lonely?

Wally: Who isn't sometimes, right?

This was funnier in my head.

Oh Tim

Do you realize that Tim forgot his Robin suit?

Something I love about the Dick bats era is the Dick, Damian, Steph trio and I love it when DC show it even subtly.

During the few Batfamily meet ups before the reboot these three always stood close together Damian is always by Dick’s side but Steph is either next to Barbara or with them reflecting some of her most important relationships in her identity as Batgirl which I think is very neat.
