Bart Allen’s Characterization, as per his CREATOR. | Dare I say, the Bart Allen post, to end all Bart Allen posts? |

Bart Allen is a character that is so often badly characterized that most people out there have no idea what he’s like. He’s constantly characterized as essentially a 7-year-old, and was even believed by some fans to be only 10-years-old to 12-years-old when his solo started. This is not the case, as while he arrived as a 12-year-old at the very beginning of his first appearance, his struggle was that he aged rapidly, meaning that by the end of that fiasco, his age settled at the age of 15-years-old.

This isn’t even close to the only misconception about Mister Bartholomew Henry Allen the second. As due to later writers consistently infantilizing this once magnificent representation of a teenager with ADHD, that had fun dynamics as a fish out of water, his original personality is something that many Bart Allen fans wish would come back from the war once again. It was what allowed Bart to be an initially popular character, that had a decently lasting solo series, that was eventually slowly killed by bad characterization and infantilization.

Heck, it’s hard to begin to know where to start since there’s so many misconceptions about what was intended by his creator. I’m going to do my best, though, as I am one of those many that wish for Bart’s original characterization to come back. He’s not a hyper little boy as people think (Again, he was never 10-years-old. They just didn’t care to draw him properly when he returned. And his return panel is so widely shared these days). He’s actually the most teenagery teenager that’s ever existed.

So I’m going to start with the first issue of his solo series and go from there. I’m using the first ten issues of his solo as my line of research, since by then his characterization is readily fleshed out, and you can understand a lot of his true depth.

Also, this is going to be super long, but if you want to know Bart’s character like a pro-Bart-Allen-Er (?) this is the post for you.

What makes Bart unique, and what’s Bart like at school?

There was a little interview with George Perez where he said he liked how Garth was sexy and Mediterranean looking, and showed off his muscular legs. This was an interview from the 80s I found, but lost 😩 like he PURPOSELY drew Garth sexy.... whew.

TitansTower used to have it, looks like the site is no longer up! It's an interview of George Perez by Andy Mangels in 1987

Lucky for YOU, I saved that part! He doesn't just say he's Mediterranean, he also says he based Garth's looks off of an ex-girlfriend.

Garth is the prettiest of the OGs confirmed.

I do like that he leaned into the curly hair (he's had that since the Silver Age tbh) because it really did make his character stand out when they aren't in costumes. I know pretty much every comic character lost their curly hair by the 90s, but I really miss Garth's

“I really like Riven as a character, because I kind of see myself in him a little. The difficulty making friends, troubles expressing feelings, not feeling accepted, making mistakes and regretting them. I thought he grew so much, so it made me even angrier that they took it all away. I really wanted him to succeed and prove everyone he is a good person - like he really is.” -Anon

love garth also being outraged. political marriage/shotgun wedding solidarity

Remember the scene/option where Andy gets to use hair spray and a lighter to fight off the spiders? Yeah :)

Let's count everything that happened to Damian on his life.

Being physically and emotionl abused by his own mother that forced him into fight her for years, just because he wanted to know of his father.

Having to see how one of his teachers got blind by others and gave him the option to save him but instead he would recieved the punishment.

Being groomed into make a cultural genocide.

Being brainwashed by his grandparent and mother.

Having to kill people since he was like 3-4 years old and being exposed to extreme violence.

Being constantly sick and having to replace his organs because how hurt he used to get in the league.

Being shot 5 times and almost get paralyzed, then his mother put him a metal spine and tried to control him to kill his special person.

His mother sent assasins and put a price on his head and then sent a older evil clone of himself to him.

He died.

He went to the hell.

He came back.

Then he died. Again. But just for a seconds this time.

Have a good time in this part, had his brother, grandpa, make new friends and meet his best friend.

His father neglect him a lot. But still, pretty peaceful, until his favorite older brother got shot and get amnesia and then something happend and see how his grandapa got killed in front of him.

All of this make him leave the mantle of robin, thinking that it didn't work since his favorite people in the world got hurt.

Ah. His best friend aged up and kinda become a different person that he used to know.

His father ignored and neglect him when he cried in front of him and blame himself.

He started having hallucinations.

He died again, twice.

He finally started healing with his other family and then he saw his other grandpa got killed in front of him x2

His father is an asshole to him.

He realize he has another brother, he started to getting along with his father again but still tense.

He wanted to help his new brother but then he found out that he got killed by his mother's assasins.

It's kinda concerning how long this list is tbh. And I know a lot of these things related with Talia and Bruce sre kinds controversy but I am not talking about if they are good or bad parents, I am talking about Damian's perception snd that's all.

I am not a Talia or Bruce stan, I focus on Damian manily but a lot of these people used Damian as a way to slaughter one of these two characters and it's stupid.
