it’s a general consensus that batman’s cape is a bigger dimension in the inside where all the little batlings hide but: how do they all move?

do they:

• cling onto batman’s body like a koala?

• do a lil shuffle waltz and waddle with every step?

• wear heelies/ roller skates so they just slide as they cling onto batman’s body?

You know that Ada Limón poem where she’s like “i can’t help it i love the way men love”? my dad recently confessed to me that he became a shoemaker because they buried my grandma shoeless

there is something just so amazing about jason coming back to life, seeing how the world remembered and hating it. coming back to life and telling the people who loved him that they grieved him wrong. people worry if they’re doing the right thing x person would’ve wanted them to after they died, but no one has ever experienced something like that.

someone who you loved and mourned and who loved you back came back and was disgusted by what grief made of you. they didn’t want anything to do with you. how do you deal with the loss of someone you loved a second time around when they’re standing right in front of your eyes, breathing and alive again?

harley quinn knows who all the bats are but never says anything bc she just rlly likes them. like, batman can be a bit of a bore, he’s a bit too serious for harley’s taste, but his kids? gosh, harley loves his kids. 

sometimes she commits crimes just bc she’s bored and she knows the mini bats are on patrol. i mean, she will straight up rob a bank just so she can chat w red robin for a bit. she always asks about superboy. he always asks about ivy. sometimes he fills her in on the latest teen titans gossip. 

harley likes red hood too. he’s funny and more violent than the other bats, which makes things interesting. one time they beat up joker together just cuz. they broke a few bones. it was fun.

she has a soft spot for nightwing too. how can she not? she’s known him since he was a chubby cheeked crime fighting baby with no pants. he’s basically her child.

and it’s always fun when she runs into the girls. batgirl is a riot. she’s the one who told harley that batman doesn’t know how to cook and can barely do his own laundry. black bat doesn’t talk much, but she listens to harley and laughs at her jokes.

harley thinks robin is precious in a violent murder-y sort of way. she likes to pinch his cheeks, which usually results in robin reaching for his katana and harley darting away. one time she booped him on the nose and he threatened to maim her. it was adorable.

sometimes, when signal is out on patrol, he’ll stop by harley’s apartment to hang for a bit. they sit together and eat snacks and signal tells harley about the chaos that is wayne manor. he doesn’t use codenames. he knows she knows their identities – he and harley are pretty sure that he and maaayybe red robin are the only ones who know she knows. they have a betting pool on when batman will finally realize harley knows he’s bruce wayne.

Thinking about the time the entire batfamily accidentally came across the same body

Just them sharing one brain cell <3

i know it's just the nature of comics and the character shifting over time but i have always been fond of the idea that dick and jason just remember a version of bruce that doesn't exist anymore. and both of them carry this weird sinking guilt about it every once in a while because they both think they are to blame

Someone in Gotham probably learned that factoid about bats crashing into each other all the time, we just didn't have cameras fast enough to catch it before.

Pointed it out on the Gotham reddit page and in less than a week the page becomes flooded with meme pics, gifs and videos of the Batclan crashing into things.

Red Robin walking into a pole and spilling his Starbucks one night after being up a week straight. Stopping to mourn it for a minute before hanging his head low and walking away.

Nightwing and Red Hood cracking heads together during a particularly annoying fight with some assassins. They were already bickering over some tv show when they were jumped.

Robin crashing the Batmobile into Bane at 90 mph and Batman jumping face first into the side of a dumpster to avoid being run over by his own kid.

Nothing of Batgirl though. If she ever slams into anything then there hasn't yet been a camera fast enough to catch it.

ever since 2019 when the pjo show was rumored, people have been saying “the second i hear the percy actor say ‘look, i didn’t want to be a half blood’ i’m going to lose my mind”. that moment is now kids and i am doing exactly that
