previews from the nightwing special!

did dick steal this when jason was dead? 💀

Dick: *walking in to see Jason and Tim brawling* Stop! Stop! Stop. What’s going on here?

Jason: He hit me!

Tim: I didn’t mean to!!

Jason: You did!

Tim: I didn’t!

Dick: Stop. Tim what happened.

Tim: Jason apparently walked in behind me, I didn’t see him, so my coffee cup hit his face because he surprised me.

Dick: Well, that explains the dripping coffee.

Jason: *soaked* fucking disgusting, this shit is sticking to me!

Dick: Jason, cool off he didn’t mean it. Tim, be a little more careful next time.

Jason & Tim: Hmph!

Dick: *muttering on his way out* “you’re working too hard” they said. “Spend time with your family” they said. “It’ll be fun.” They said. Well guess what, Titans, next person who comes at me with that bullshit is gonna get double rounds as punishment and that goes for the team. I’m gonna…

Jason: *turning to Tim* *awkwardly* so, uh, you didn’t mean to, huh?

Tim: No, I did. 100%. Completely and absolutely. I saw you.

Jason: You said you didn’t!

Tim: I lied.

Jason: *pulling out his guns* count your fucking seconds, bitch.

Tim: *twirling his staff* come at me, cunt.

Danny knew he shouldn't be in Gotham but he refused to let Cujo go hog wild in a highly populated area, especially if there where heros about who might be working with the government.

He had just placed the cap back on his thermos when he received a punch from someone tall, blond and purple all over.

It was Spoiler, and ow she had a mean left hook. Danny didn't want to fight, especially if his opponent was a bat so, thinking fast he rapidly blurted out the first thing that came to his mind, "We'veBeenTryingToReachYouAboutYourCarsExtendedWarrenty"

Spoiler paused, trying to decipher what the heck Danny had just said, but danny was already running

WE'RE BACK BABEYYYYYYYYYYY

Idk, if I was Danny and I just found out that I was ghost king, the first thing I would do is install ghost therapy. Like I know the ghosts are compelled to fulfill their obsessions but there gotta be healthier and less destructive ways to do it.

Like Skulker for example, he could become a detective and hunt for missing persons instead of, you know, trying to skin a child. Or Ember could make a fucking Spotify or something idk.

The second thing I would do is make Clockwork do the worm.

Every time Conan says “I will let you go this time because of [x]”, I want to reach through the screen, squish his smug lil face and softly yell at him that he lets KID get away every time. E-v-e-r-y-t-i-m-e.

Just. Be honest with yourself, Shinichi. You don’t actually want him behind bars. You haven’t tried to seriously arrest him since the Black Star case. And even there, you deliberately fucked it up by wanting to spend alone time with him.

I mean, seriously, genuinely, he hasn’t tried to actually, actively catch KID even once so far.

Black Star heist #1 (on the roof-top): He has KID’s location but instead of alerting the police first, he goes there alone so he can talk to KID and “see his face” that’s gay, Shinichi

Black Star heist #2 (on the ship): He figured out KID was posing as Ran and instead of alerting the police, or anyone, or exposing KID in public, he lures him away so they can talk one-on-one. Again. Once more giving KID the opportunity to sneak off

And those were the times where he was… at least trying to catch KID. In very twisted and failed ways, because he wants to go all alone and that’s how KID gets away. But he was trying.

After that very first heist, he just straight-up gives up on trying with flimsy excuses and I love him for it, I really do, but he needs to stop pretending that he actually wants to arrest KID. He knows he doesn’t. Haibara knows he doesn’t. KID knows he doesn’t - I mean, KID literally does, otherwise he wouldn’t spend his time lingering about, waiting for Conan’s usual expositional deductions.

Magic Lover’s Murder Case: “Well, you didn’t actually steal anything and despite still being an internationally wanted criminal, I will let you go because you didn’t steal anything this time, I guess” - Shinichi, a very serious detective who is very serious about putting criminals away who committed crimes even when they are not currently actively in the middle of committing said crimes (seriously, that is his whole spiel. To catch murderers. After they murdered). Unless it’s KID, in that case, we have to let him go if he doesn’t do anything actively criminal :/

Last Wizard of the Century #1 (at the castle): KID saved his live. So letting him fly off only seems fair, right? That’s how that works. If a criminal saves your life, you let them go.

Last Wizard of the Century #2 (at the detective agency): KID only dropped by for the sole purpose of covering for Shinichi’s secret, so it would actually be unfair to tranq him now, I will give him that one.

The Gathered Detectives: Despite having figured out that KID was posing as Kogoro like… probably ten minutes into their stay at the mansion, he let KID get away with it because… again… not actively committing any crimes and you just don’t arrest an internationally wanted criminal outside of him committing a crime, that would just be rude.

The Crystal Mother: KID is actually, actively in the middle of a heist here, but Conan rather busies himself with worrying about KID’s safety and not actually with… worrying about capturing KID.

Miraculous Midair Walk: Again, figured out really early into the stint who KID was posing as, but did nothing about it. Did actively try to dart KID this time though… after going on a lil joyride with KID, so nice half-hearted attempt on that one.

Magician of the Silver Sky #1 (on the roof-top): Just straight up stops running and stands several feet away from KID, giving him every chance to fly off if he so desired (which he doesn’t, because KID likes spending time with him. So KID just… stands there, on the rooftop, waiting for him). Afterward, he does try to tranq KID, to his credit, but… only after actively seeking KID’s attention, which has proven to mean you won’t get him. Self-sabotaging once more and pretending like he’s really trying.

Magician of the Silver Sky #2 (the plane): Okay, that is the one where KID legitimately got away, on his own account. By jumping out of the crashing plane. Still, Shinichi wouldn’t have arrested him because 1.) didn’t actively steal anything this time again and, once more 2.) saved Shinichi’s life. Both the big “I’ll let you go this time” excuses.

The Eccentric Mansion: Yet again the excuses of not having stolen anything and having actively saved Shinichi (and the Detective Boys) are used as reasons why he doesn’t arrest KID.

(That’s how far I’ve gotten in my current rewatch. Pretty sure the pattern continues like that in the rest of the cases but don’t 100% remember the details, so let’s take these as sample sizes for now.)

Look, I admire the gentlemanly nature of not arresting someone after they save your life, but it kind of isn’t related to the crimes at hand. And the fact that he’s not actively stealing something during a perfect opening to arrest him doesn’t exactly negate any crimes of the past, something this detective most definitely knows but elects to ignore, only when it comes to KID though.

It’ll just never stop being hilarious to me that Conan still pretends like he is actively trying to capture KID when he has deliberately let him go 70% of the time and indirectly sabotaged his own chances of actually capturing him 20% of the time. That’s not how you catch criminals - and it’s made much more hilarious by the fact that this is our titular detective, who never lets any criminal he usually chases get away and solves every case. Sure, sure, murder is worse than stealing jewelry from rich people, but the detective principle still stands and the contrast of the behavior is overwhelming.
