Jason: So.
Jason: How many murders did you refrain from committing today?
Damian: Thirty two.
Jason: Good for you.
Jason: Here, have a cookie.
Damian, expectantly: I also refrained from fourteen severe maimings.
Jason: *hands him a second cookie*
Bruce:
Jason: positive reinforcement
Okay I so very much want criminals thinking Red Hood is not killing then because Batman offered him cookies. And what if they think Red Hood started working with the bats because of cookies in the first place?
I now want this
as some criminal trying to explain how red hood ended up working with the bats
And then I want my beloved thug named Jeff to, as Dan is putting together the PowerPoint, go recruiting and find a baker to bring into the fold because they need all the enticements they can get their hands on if they’re going to get their boss back
Or just one of Red Hood’s goons to straight up go to culinary school or whatever because apparently boss likes cookies enough to work with Batman so surely if they can do better…
Bruce appeases Murder Child for the first time
Murder Child devours appeasing offerings on the streets of Gotham
Batman gives Murder Child a GINGERSNAP COOKIE???
Criminal reaction - the Murder Child has rejected the appeasing offering!
Our main thug Jeff luring the Red Hood into their old headquarters just for Hood to walk into the main meeting area that had a table absolutely loaded with different baked goods.
Jeff: listen boss—I can still call you boss right?— anyways boss, so a bunch of us got together and put our man Bill—(say hi to Hood Bill!)—through patisserie school. It’s always been a dream of his. But anyways, this way you don’t have to go to the bat for cookies. Bill here learned to make 34 different types! Along with a boatload of other stuff. That way you can come back. Batman has nothing to hold over you now.
Jason, touched (he’s not crying you’re crying): yeah man
Later:
Jason: Sorry B, they made too good of an argument.
As Jason turns and walks out you can see Damian clinging to the back of his jacket like a baby koala (he heard about the baked offerings).
Thug named Jeff my beloved
Yes this is perfect
I was smiling till the end, and the image of gremlin Damian absolutely latched on and clutching to the back of Jason’s jacket just fricking SENT ME!😂
@fleur-des-lore I love these tags haha
Dick, holding one hand out towards Bats while holding a criminal in an armbar: APPEASE ME BAT AND YOUR REHABILITATION WILL BE POSSIBLE
Tim, facepalming behind Batman: it didn’t have to be that dramatic. Also that’s a nonlethal hold idiot.
Bruce, figuring the cookies in his belt are gonna get stale, handing them over despite knowing Dick isn’t going to kill: very well, Chum.
You know this sort of thing is definitely what would make people go from “I can’t believe Batman has sidekicks those poor kids” to “I can’t believe Batman is single-handedly keeping these feral children on the side of the heroes”
Oh the visuals are strong with this one [*proceeds to churn out art of it immediately*]
I love this so much
This is why I love Tumblr, things always spiral on Tumblr
Bruce sad and rejected dejected goes home to the cave. Babs, goddess that she is, let Alfred know that Bruce was having a shit night so there Agent A is with a container full of cookies. Like the best kinds too, ginger snaps, white chocolate macadamia, maple almond oatmeal bars, the works. And Bruce eats one and his little himbo, under fed and under rested brain says “wait, Alfred makes cookies! Why was I giving the kids store bought ones?”
So while holding the container he rushes back into the night to remind his kids that HE can grant them access to Alfred grade cookies! He gets to try Jeff’s cookies and though not as good he can see why Jason would like them. “Hey, Jeffrey, how would you like to further your confectionery education?”
@jasontoddmicrowavedrobin
IM CRTYING my face was literally buzzing from lack of oxygen i was laughing so much ofmg
okay how has no one put this yet: the villains of gotham start carrying around cookies. like, damian pulls out his sword and the thug just drops to his knees and holds out a cookie on both hands, his head bowed.
theres also bound to be a villain that would try to poison him, but damian can read body language so he just
Robin, crossing his arms: Take a bite of it
Thug, sweating: W-What?
Robin: Take. A. Bite.
and like. this dude KNOWS hes going to the hospital either way so hes gotta choose whether he wants to have his stomach pumped or get a cast for his broken arms.
And then there is Cass who takes it upon herself to see how many cookies she cane liberate from Batman's utility belt before he notices.
She shares the spoils with Steph after a gane of rooftop tag.
Steph taking far away pictures of Cass sneaking cookies while Batman is busy scolding a villain for trying to poison his own cookies-
