okay so let’s talk about how tommy elliot is literally the antithesis of bruce wayne without even being a supervillain

bruce’s parents died and left him everything in the blink of an eye, while tommy had to try twice over the course of the first 20 years of his life to replicate the same circumstances. tommy tried to kill both his parents when he was ten, but thomas wayne saved his mother; he later killed his mother when he was 20-ish, according to heart of hush, and even then it was only because of peyton riley’s help that he inherited any of his family’s money.
the father. tommy had an abusive father whose sole interests in life were cars, alcohol, and women. he spent all his time avoiding responsibility and living a hedonistic, selfish lifestyle. compare this to thomas wayne (who, i might add, is very likely tommy’s namesake): the selfless surgeon who dedicated his life to helping those less fortunate, and would ultimately die trying to maintain peace between a mugger and his family.
the mother. oh my god. oh my god. okay, like, first off, martha wayne does not get enough love and i’m so mad, because bruce has mentioned time and time again that his father was often too busy with work to dedicate a lot of time to him consistently, so he had a lot more quality time with his mom than his dad to begin with. her reading him alice in wonderland has come up a few times as one of his cherished memories of childhood. her broken pearl necklace is a huge icon for him in terms of trauma and pain. compare this to marla elliot: probably ended up raising tommy basically on her own, so they had a lot more time together than tommy and his father did. marla read him aristotle. her jade pendant is clearly his most prized possession, despite his apparent hatred for her– even though he had already tried to kill her once, when he and bruce are children, bruce snatches the pendant off tommy’s neck and tommy starts beating the crap out of bruce. bruce and tommy both looked at their fathers as larger-than-life characters, they had closer emotional bonds with their mothers, they both maintain some kind of iconography of their mother as a result of trauma.
hush keeps colleagues at arm’s length, while batman gets attached. when he debuted as a supervillain, tommy worked with almost the entire main rogues gallery, but nobody except the ones who helped him orchestrate it– harvey dent, riddler, and scarecrow– even knew who he was under the bandages. compare to batman: he makes it his business to care about everyone he works with, whether he knows he’s doing it or not.
dangerous women. tommy was engaged to peyton riley: a daughter of the mob, willing to kill if she has to, blending right in with gotham’s upper crust at galas and parties. bruce is involved with catwoman: a daughter of the mob, willing to kill if she has to, blending right in with gotham’s upper crust at galas and parties. tommy and peyton are together before they put on a costume; bruce and selina get together after.
they both wanted to grow up to be thomas wayne. bruce wanted to help people. tommy wanted to cut them open.
hush’s fighting patterns. he uses two guns and fires in pairs. bang. bang. sound familiar? it’s the same thing bruce heard when his parents died.
my point is that hush and heart of hush are MIRED in foreshadowing and dramatic irony and from the second tommy and bruce met each other they have been two sides of the same coin; while joker will always be batman’s greatest nemesis, hush is the complete antithesis of everything bruce wayne stands for both in and out of the costume and that makes him so interesting as a character
BASICALLY WHAT I’M SAYING IS @DC WHERE IS OUR HUSH ANIMATED MOVIE WE DESERVE IT AFTER ALL THE CRAP YOU’VE PULLED ON US

// If DC writers ever tell me Tommy Elliot and Peyton Riley are not Colin Wilkes’ parents, they’re gonna get ignored on this blog and this is why:

First, there are obvious parallels in Heart of Hush that are meant to be drawn. Colin has a lot of the same issues as Tommy did/does and then obviously there’s the red hair and the fact that Colin befriends Damian Wayne who is the son of Tommy’s childhood best friend and current rival.

In Heart of Hush, they make a point of saying Colin is ten years old and then make a point of Tommy saying he met Peyton ten years before. Also, you can ignore the obvious similarities in looks (see this post) and I’m not just talking about hair. They have the same eyebrows, same nose, same mouth, same pretty much everything.

In HoH #5, in the flashback scene after Tommy killed his mother, Peyton says “You have everything you’ve wanted, Tom. Me, the money, and our way out— TOGETHER.” The word ‘together’ is bolded in the comic and could insinuate that if Peyton was pregnant, she knew already. Then, back in present time, Tommy states he left Peyton right after his mother’s funeral and he says to Alfred, “I told her I couldn’t stand to be tied down again and furthermore, if she ever tried to blackmail me, I’d take her down as well, mobster father be damned.” That alone would explain why Colin does not have the last name Riley or Elliot and why Tommy wouldn’t have been told about Colin by Peyton.

Now, you might say, “Well, in Lil Gotham, Sister Agnes gives Colin a picture that was with him when he came to the orphanage that had his mother in it and she looks nothing like Peyton.” Well, I have reasoning for that too. If Tommy was threatening her, and considering that her father is a mobster, she wouldn’t want Colin to have any sort of link back to her. She simply got someone else to take a picture with him, probably paid them to do so, and then put it with him when she left him on the doorstep of the orphanage so that if he ever did come looking for his parents, he’d have no real leads. He’d have a fake one that would get him nowhere and would never lead him back to Peyton Riley. She also assumingly has a lot of powerful connections and could have easily had any ties between Colin Wilkes and herself erased for any normal person who might be nosing around.

Bruce Wayne probably did find this information though, even though he tells Colin in Lil Gotham that he couldn’t find his parents.That’s bullshit. He’s Bruce Wayne. Even if he couldn’t find it, he has connections too, like Oracle. So why would he hide this information from Colin? He wouldn’t, unless there was something to hide. Like Tommy Elliot being his father.
