• In the older comics (back from the time when Jason had red hair), he read Pride and Prejudice

• Zitka the elephant wasn't just a fandom thing, Dick actually had a very close bond with her
• Jason has referred to Bruce as "Dad" both seriously and sarcastically
• Tim listens to rock/punk/alternative music
• Dick took Jason skiing while Jay was Robin
• Tim's favourite pizza combo is Canadian Bacon, onions, and artichoke hearts

*These span all the different comic ages (Rebirth, New 52, etc) and do not include the DCAU or DCU movies/shows, and the non-canon (as in side series that was never considered canon at any point) comics.
Thank you for this. I didn’t know about Jason’s white streak and the green eyes wasn’t canon. (I think I might still incorporate it in fics tho.) Thank you I love to learn more!! This was really helpful!
