Red Hood "is the 1st Robin" AU by Firefly026
Fandom Batman - All Media Types, Justice League - All Media Types, Nightwing (Comics)
04 Feb 2026
Summary
Basically, miscommunication happens (because its Batman and he doesn't communicate), and at some point, the majority of the superhero community assumes that Red Hood is Batman's 1st Robin and Nightwing is a completely different hero. Minus Donna, Roy, and Wally everyone else thinks Red Hood is the oldest. Somehow Bruce got the others to go along with the ruse. This is basically different (not connected) fics of what could happen if that were the case.

Summary
“Here’s my question. If the ghost wants nothing more than to be witnessed, why would it appear behind you, and not in front of you? The only answer I can think of is this: it appears behind you because it already knows, to an absolute certainty, that you will have no choice but look back.”
― David Ward, I am in EskewAfter a mission with the JLA, Dick is exhausted. So clearly, that means the things he's seeing are just stress hallucinations- right?
No! After a Justice League meeting gone wrong, Dick soon finds himself having to come to terms with the fact that some ghosts just don't leave and some things won't stay buried.

Summary
There was only one thing Scarecrow wanted to inflict. Fear.
In his head, Dick was grateful he was the one in the hot seat. He always had a harder time watching his loved ones be in pain than taking the pain himself. That face was one of the leading reasons behind almost everything he does. Furthermore, he and Bruce have been testing his level of resistance to Scarecrow's fear gas, and compared to the others- even Bruce- he was the best option for this. Right?
. .
OR: Scarecrow makes a fear toxin specifically for Nightwing, who seems to be immune to his normal batch. And maybe Dick could handle a newer version of the gas... if there wasn't also a device attached to his head that analyzed his thoughts to make him face his greatest fears...
What's worse is that his family, who have basically shut him out since his return from Spyral- from the dead- is there to witness his fall.
