Bruce: It's pride month Tim
Tim: What? So you want me to solve crimes gayly??11/1/1!?!?!
Bruce: ... Tim: ... Bruce: ... Tim: Ok.
Bruce: ?????
Tim:

I like to imagine that Matt Fraction's Batman #9 happened in june cause why not.
This pride, Former Wayne Enterprises CEO Tim Drake and his partner Bernard Dowd sit down for an exclusive interview on their own journeys of self-discovery. Read now!
The Debt Has Been Paid
If Danny had been paying even an ounce more of attention to his surroundings he would have noticed a figure poking out of the alley way in front of him. He wasn’t though, so Danny was completely caught off guard when said figure pulled him into the alley, knife being pressed against his skin with demands that he hand over his wallet.
This honestly wasn’t that big of a deal to Danny; more of an annoyance if anything as the only thing he wants to do right now is go home and eat his takeout. Before he can make that known though with a snarky comment another person, Red Robin he notes, is dropping from the sky and pulling the mugger away from him.
The altercation is over before it even begins, saving Danny his energy, time, and having to reheat his food.
The whole event was put behind him by the time he woke up the next morning. Danny probably wouldn't have even thought more about it if it hadn’t been for the fact that a week later he found himself in the JL space station due to a summoning for the Ghost King.
At first Danny thinks that maybe his run in with Red Robin somehow led to them connecting his human side to his ghost side. Luckily, that wasn’t the case though and they were only needing some help with a ghost that was causing problems in one of their cities. Which he was gladly and easily able to help them with.
The only point of conflict is when the JL refuses to accept a “free favor” from him, and demands that he ask something from them. Danny really doesn’t want anything from them though, and so in a moment of genius locks eyes with Batman and tells him.
“The debt has already been paid; send Red Robin my thanks.”
This is funny. It would be even funnier if this kept on happening.
Batfam + probably the rest of the league: Ah shit here we go again.
Bruce @ Tim: Just tell me what you did.
Tim, who has no idea what Bruce found this time but has a few ideas: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Bruce: Tim.
Tim, who still doesn't know: You'll never prove it.
And then it happens again.
Bruce: Tim please.
For the WCT "Wings" prompt on the Haunting Heroes discord - was a super fun event (and the first piece of art I made for the fandom)
DC x DP Prompt
Superman held the ghost boy by the back of his suit. He looked young, so he didn’t want to hurt him. Batman walked over and took the ghost boy from him, who promptly calmed down from his fit when he saw him.”This one’s mine.” He said. The ghost shot him a glare, which didn’t faze him one bit as he set him down.”Pout all you want, you agreed to the adoption and I’ve got the papers to prove it.”
Clark sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.
Clark: Could you, just for once, warm us when you've adopted another one? So we don't get surprised by children who we think shouldn't be up here?
Bruce raised an eyebrow at Danny in question as he pouted to one side.
Bruce: Hmm. Danny wasn't supposed to be here yet.
Clark: How did he get here then?
Danny: Oh you know. I flew in.
Bruce: Please tell me you didn't fly here from Gotham?
Danny: I could, but I'd be lying.
Bruce: I'm telling Alfred.
Danny: So... No dessert. Dammit.
Clark: Why are all your children like this?
Danny: I mean. I died, I think that's a pretty good excuse as they go.
Clark: You know what. Good luck Bruce!
Danny changed back into his human form sulking next to Bruce.
"How did you know I wasn't Red anyway?"
Clark laughed a little at the kid now he knew who he was.
" Your heartbeat is too slow. "
Danny growled at the floor. Of course. Damn super hearing!
Bruce looked at his latest son and sighed.
"Phantom, why are you even wearing Red's suit?"
Danny grinned, wicked sharp and laughed a little.
" Agent A says he hasn't slept in 3 days. If he doesn't have his suit, he has to stay home. Also, I replaced all the coffee with decafe. But switched the containers. I gave it all to Agent A. don't worry. You just have to ask him to proper coffee now. "
Bruce just slumped a little as Clark laughed at them. And then Flash turned up. Great. Danny slumped into Tim's typical posture and gave his typical greeting. Hmm. Since when has he been practising that? He looked at Clark who nodded. Looked like they were testing the rest of the league then.
Clark smirked a little and ruffled Danny's hair, who acted exactly as Red would have. Hmm. This should be fun then.
"Hey Flash. Need anything?"
Flash grinned at them and pointed at Danny.
" Yeah! I could use a hand from Red. Have an engineering issue. "
Danny looked up, mimicking Tim's dead state and sighed deeply.
"Fine. What is it? Show me!"
Flash happily went of with Danny in tow as Bruce and Clark sighed.
" one down huh? "
"Not everyone has your senses Kal."
Clark laughed again and shook his head.
" Did you know he was that good at acting? "
Bruce shook his head. Thinking it over there had been hints. But...
"Nothing concrete. Hints of talents. I thought I'd have to train it more. This should be. Informative."
Clark shoved his friend lightly in the shoulder .
"You can say amusing you know. It can be both!"
Bruce just shot him a withering look.
" we should tell Diana. She will know either way. This way she won't be as mad. "
Clark grinned and listened out for her.
" Yeah, she's in the second meeting room. "
When they got there Diana was frowning at something in her hands.
Bruce tapped on the table and raised an eyebrow at her in question. Diana set the tablet aside and looked at them.
"Bruce, Clark. Do either of you want to tell me why Red Robin is not the person in his suit?"
They shared a look and both coughed to hide a grin.
" My latest addition to the family. He confiscated his brothers suit to stop him getting killed due to sleep deprivation. And decided to see what the watch tower was like. And how long he could go without getting caught. "
Clark grinned at Diana as her face morphed from worried to amused.
"He forgot to factor in our sense apparently. I could hear him cursing under his breath. Well... Lack of breath."
Diana rolled her eyes. It was such a typical stunt. She looked at Bruce again and raised an eyebrow.
" I take it you two decided to let him have his fun with everyone else then? Ah, and you came to me so I wouldn't ruin the game. Boys honestly. "
Bruce smirked a little.
"It's a good training opportunity for him."
Diana huffed at him and nodded. She couldn't deny it.,
"We may as well watch on the screen then. As this is supposed to be a training opportunity hmm? He is doing quite well actually. Anyone without sensitivity to magic or enhanced sense should be fooled."
In Gotham, Tim was extremely unhappy to find even his secret stashed had been raised of suits leaving him no choice. He couldn't go out without something so either he stayed home and slept or he borrowed a suit from someone else. He could always repurpose someone's old suit but that would take too long especially with the suit and armour upgrades necessary. He's just debating what to do when Jason grabs him and drags him over to Alfred. Tim pouts at being caught.
Meanwhile? Danny is getting updates from the batchat. Tim has finally been out to sleep. And Danny? Has managed to fool everyone who doesn't have super senses so far. Thank fuck for the bat standard 'hm'. If something comes up he doesn't know about? He just used that. It's great!
But! He just got a message from B. Time to end this now Tim is asleep huh? B is absolutely going to use this as an objective lesson of some sort. Ah, that's the meeting now please beep B is going to be brutal.
Batman: Phantom. Come here please.
Danny straightened from Tim's posture and grinned a bit too wide. Watching the rest visibly freak out? So much fun. He let himself hover slightly and floated to B.
YES YES!! love the banshee explanation here!! ive been aching on how to get around that i love it!!
I want all animals to become sapient enough to produce art specifically because I want to see what sort of sex homunculus caricature each species would create if given the ability to draw
Like we've already got the anime waifu with the needle-waist and watermelon-bazonkas and borzoi-legs and bug-eyes. Now show me a fucked-up stupid beetle as drawn by a horny beetle. I want to see what a cartoonishly sexy lion looks like according to lions. I want to see the most ridiculous drawing of a peahen that would have the peacocks squaring up by the fountain.
We give this power to ostriches and they just start drawing people
DP X DC Prompt #49
When Batman dies he comes back as a ghost nearly immediately. He soon finds a stable portal to cross through, intending to find Gotham as soon as possible.
What he finds is a teen hero in desperate need of help. He can help.
Ah, Danny now has a hero mentor. This would be better if his main antagonists weren't ghost hunters. Danny is trying to keep Batman in the Realms... It isn't going too well.
It's the escape artist training, Dad Shaping, and unethical use of Logic(tm). Which is a crime against him, Danny, specifically. This dad shaped man is bullying him! With earnest concern and offers to help and support him!
Is clearly terrified for his family and city but REFUSES to "abandon" Danny! D:> Stop being everything Danny's been praying for! This feels like a TRAAAAAP! He's gonna get attached then something BAD WILL HAPPEN!
*awkward BatHug deployed* its going to be Okay, Danny.
Nooooooooo T^T *is imprinting so hard you can see it from space*
Bruce probably starts guarding the inside of the portal. Sets up traps using Fenton tech. Makes sure no ghosts cause trouble during school. Well, for the ones he can stop any way. Danny hasn't had this much rest since he died! Batman is so nice. 10/10. Teaches him stuff, without being creepy!
Consider, the Ghost Baby Off-limits headcanon is at play, so even though this is a veteran Batman, he's seen as a baby. And when he explains why he's guarding the portal? It's seen as a baby being taken care of by a even babier baby.
Imagine Danny's rogues having their meltdown about being beaten by a baby. In front of Bruce. Who is like... How did you not understand that he was freshly dead? Power levels are not always indicative of age people!!
"HE WAS IN THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS, I THOUGHT HE WAS OLDER THAN US"
"HE WAS WHAT" -a ghost, probably
Bruce drops his head thinking for a moment. Ok, understandable. But! Natural portals can do that! You have a time ghost! You could have asked! Phantom isn't even two years dead! Now go say sorry! Says the two month dead ghost. At least he died an adult, and therefore will be respected. More so than still a teen, baby ghost.
Jason gets a call one day from a random number and theres a kid on the other end saying Jasons Dad told him to call.
Obviously Bruce has been dead for a bit so Jason is sus until the kid says one of the batcodes
The whole family is wondering if Bruce is actually dead or if this is more of a lost in time thing again (hes very dead but he does not care. Hes Batman.)
Given that the code is about a new family member needing training? Jason might just laugh himself sick. Look, B is dead, and somehow still adopted. What the fuck B!? He is absolutely tying off loose ends and getting himself to Amity Park. He can't wait to see what the fuck is happening. If he is taking a camera along? Well that's between him and Babs.
Batman of corse returns to Gotham and crime fighting. No one knows batman was/is dead.
Cue the justice league having to summon or fight someone from the GZ/Infinte realms. They take one look at Batman and just start parenting/baby talking/treating him like a child.
And Batman doesn’t do anything about it! His core is humming happily because he is a baby ghost despite being a adult human.
The justice league is going nuts.
Funny if it's a child, funnier if it's an adult. But consider, they summon an eldtriitch being who won't stop cooing about babies
Batman has to have not known this was the magic users plans. Or he would have just called Danny. Which, let's be real? As soon as he knew this was the plan? Danny got a text off his ghost bestie/hero mentor. Promptly dives through the phone and pops up just behind him.
Danny: Why is Lady Pandora here?
Batman: Realms issue came up. As Earth's resident Realms wrangler? I thought it time to introduce you to JLD. As they didn't even explain that it was a Realms issue until they summoned Lady Pandora.
Zatanna: How do you even know about the Infinite Realms?!
Danny: Cause he's Batman. Duh.
Batman: This is Phantom. The hero of Amity Park. He babysits a permanent portal between the Realms and Earth.
Danny: Urgh. Babysits is right. So! Who are we fighting this time!
Zatanna: Batman? Are you sure? The being running around isn't an everyday spirit! The Ancient of Dreams isn't something for a teen to fight!
Danny: Wait! Nocturn got out again!?! Urgh! What's he doing this time?!
Batman: Phantom has previously fought Nocturn, Undergrowth, Fright Knight, Pariah Dark and Plasmius.
Danny: I've fought more than that! But they were the most powerful yeah.
Constantine in the corner, paling with every name added to the list and hugging his flask like its a lifeline
I’m still imagining an eldritch being cooing over The Batman.
Eldritch being: *gasp* A BABY!! Coochie coo! Coochie Coochie coo! Hello little one!! 😍
The Batman, slightly tilting his head back so the eldritch being can gently tickle his chin with their huge fuckin claws: *deadpan* Hello. It is very nice to meet you. I know that I am a very cute baby, but my associates have summoned you for assistance. Please focus.
Eldritch being: You. Are. ADORABLE!! 🥰
As soon as Danny arrives they gasp again. Another Baby! You have friends! Aww! Ouch! Bitey baby! Aww. Lookit his lil fangies!
Meanwhile Batman just taps Danny. We have an actual issue! Danny stops biting and listens. Oh sure! He can do that easy!
Love that the League summoned an (probably known to be extremely powerful) eldritch entity for help, only for said entity to do absolutely nothing helpful and this "random" Midwestern teen to show up and upstage them all.
The Ancient would absolutely help once the babies went to battle. Just in case. They would do that thing. You enter the fight as well, just in case. Watch every move. So you can jump in if needed, but let the kids figure it out. If not needed? You can then coo and praise them. If needed to help? You coo and reassure.
Ancient: It’s like watching their first steps once they stop holding your hand. You stay close enough to catch, but really you are just there to be a cheer section.

You’re doing amazing sweeties!!
😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹
You know after Diana and Clark at the very least are going to demand answers. Bruce just sighs. And clicks a button on his wrist. The magic users/sensitive in the league all turn to him in shock. What the fuck! Batman! Since when!
Bruce: I died six months ago. As is protocol it wasn't announced. Since many of us return, one way of another. This time I came back as a ghost. Phantom is the protector of Amity Park's permanent portal. I stayed for a while to mentor him. But had him contact my children. They turned up to help. And likely to ensure I was still myself.
Marvel: Uh, question Mr Batman. How did you damper your aura like that?!?
Bruce: Phantom created the device. It users electromagnetic fields manipulation to scramble and hide Ecto signatures.
Zatanna: Wait! The kid?!?! How?!
Bruce: He is incredibly intelligent. And the son of mad scientists. He used their work on reading Ecto signatures to work it out.
Clark: Why did you hide it from us?
Bruce: Why would I mention it? I am still here. Changed yes. But not gone. It would have caused unnecessary distress.
Fsssssffffffx ‘unnecessary distress’. That is so in-character.
On the other hand, you know who would have been in real distress? His kids, for those two months or so between his death and Danny’s phone call.
Bruce died as Batman, from an injury in the field. He was still alive when he was brought back to the Cave and died in the presence of his family. Though he didn’t regain consciousness and they didn’t get to say goodbye, there was no chance for the body to be swapped; there is no doubt that Bruce is dead.
They all get very drunk for a night or two. Even Jarro, who, as a telepath, is basically getting drunk by proxy.
They had a drawn-out knock-down fight over what to do about Bruce. Tim and Damian were in favour of attempting a resurrection (Pit or Apokalips). Dick and Jason and Cass were very much not. They’ve reached a compromise; they are not actively working on it but the body is in frozen storage with a lot of alarms on it.
Jason, who’s doing a lot better these days, took the cowl. Cass will take over eventually, but for the moment Jason is the best at maintaining the illusion of continuity. They have a cover story ready to go for Bruce Wayne’s death.
And then Jason receives the phone call, to his Oracle-secured batphone from an unknown number.
That usually means one of the other Bats on a burner, which usually means trouble, so he answers.
“Um, hi?” Not a voice he recognises, at all. “Is this Jason?”
Young. Male. Midwestern. Asking for Jason on the Batphone. Could be real trouble. “No, this is Mark,” he says. “You’ve got the wrong number.”
“He said you’d say that. Um, Jason? I have a message from your dad.”
Jason gets angry and breaks code. “My dad is dead.”
“I know,” says the voice. “He says, recognition code bee zero one, whisky delta india hotel mike… no, sorry, hotel sierra mike kilo, circumference, um… flange, uh… requirement? Requirement.”
Jason can’t say a word. Can’t breathe. It’s B’s code all right, no coercion, not compromised, and he felt the need to specify no time travel. But what he really can’t get over is the way it sounds like the kid is listening to someone prompting and correcting him, someone who’s standing there with him.
“And he says, contingency four two seven gee and… three one five? Yeah, three one five bee.”
Jason doesn’t know these from the top of his head. He rouses enough to drop Tim a quick text. Tim knows all the contingencies, the little freak.
Jason: contingencies 427g and 315b
Tim: !!!!!!!!!
Jason: what are they?
Tim: holy shit
Tim: moving to group chat
Jason swipes over to the batchat group.
Tim: jason just texted
Tim: b’s come back as a ghost
Tim: and he’s adopted again
“Jason?” says his phone. “Jason? …are you still there?”
Jason is, of course, somewhat overwhelmed by this new knowledge. Relief and grief mixing together. because his Dad is back! But.. His Dad is a ghost. Still dead, changed forever. But, has adopted again? So still the same man they all know and love. His newest baby brother sounds so young and unsure. Clearly B's only just found him. Not had enough time to train him properly. He needs a minute, but his new baby (probably a ghost, oh fuck, B's ghost has adopted a dead teen.) brother is still on the line. So he has to push it to the side and get his shot together.
Jason: Yeah, yeah I'm still here. So, B's a ghost huh? How'd you meet him?
Danny: Oh, um, there's a portal? To the Infinite Realms in my city. It's um, it's in my basement? My, my parents built it. I accidentally turned it on. So, so it's my job to keep everyone safe. Batman heard about it. He wanted to get back to Gotham. Um, but he um, he felt I needed help. But, I'm not, not always there. So...
Jason: Its ok kid. Take your time. Sounds like B has his hands full over there. He asking for Justice League backup?
Jason heard the muttering start again. Why wasn't B using the phone? Maybe it was a ghost thing? Something to ask the kid.
Danny: No. Batman wants you to come visit. And help train me? Batman can't leave until we figure out a way for him to have a believable human form. And figure out how to get him enough Ecto to feed off.
A believable human form...
"What if I brought his preserved corpse with me? Think that would be of any help?"
I can't help but imagine the sigh the leaves Frostbite when he sees; the Great One, the Batman, the Red Hood and Batman's corpse being brought to him. And when he asks why? Gets told they want to know if Batman can use it as a way to pass as a human. If his old corpse will be able to sustain such.
(Also, side note, but do colour inversion rules work here? Because B? Probably not best pleased if he is bright white.)
Okay, I see your white Batman suit, and raise you he's Eyesearingly Neon Pink. You know the color, the one that seems to dlow in the dark.
And let's say for angst, that no. He cannot use the preserved body BECAUSE it is preserved. The preservatives have filled in enough of the body so it no longer counts as "Bruce" to his ectoplasm
Look, we all know Tim would hear that and cackle gleefully. He gets to use his cloning knowledge for good you say? It'll take a few months for the best to be ready. Just you wait. *gleeful evil laughter*
The reason I was going with white? Was mainly the pun-tential. He's no longer the Dark Knight. But the Light Knight. (Because nite lite).
How about mostly white with eye-searingly pink Bat symbol/belt.
Or maybe a neon green suit with the eye-searingly pink symbol/belt. Which would obviously be irritating for him in the human world. Neon green and pink are very attention grabbing. But then in the realms he would retain his nature and ability to slip into the "shadows". The shadows here more or less just being the ambient environment which Ghost Batman still blends in to.
In a way, it would be like the Universe itself telling Batman, "No, you don't belong to this world any more. Batman belongs to the Infinite Realms now. Go back to the new shadows you fit into." Not that Bruce is going to heed that message.
As for the body, it's at least still good for a dna sample. From there, Tim can work with the Yetis to grow Bruce a ghost compatible, empty human body. Although I don't think it should be quite that simple or easy. There needs to be some kind of counter-balance. A price to pay for the luxury of returning to and passing freely in the human world.
Ecto green with neon pink belt and symbol is perfect. Yeah, the universe can say what it wants. It allowed him to continue his existence. The universe should have known better than to think he wouldn't go home.
Oh absolutely. I'm thinking corpse au shenanigans? If Bruce wants to use his ghost powers he has to drop his body off at the cave. Whoch, let's be real, would cause some serious psychic damage to his family the first few times.
Especially if the bodies dies without Bruce to pilot it. Like pulling the keys out if a cars ignition
Maybe there's a grace period. That can be extended by putting the body on life support/in suspension. Not at all further traumatizing his kids. Right up till they are numb to it and begin making jokes. Bruce coming back to find them play acting "sad about Dad in a coma". Or his face being covered in doodles.
There’s a grace period where the body will keep breathing on its own, AND of course, sometimes there’s ghost emergencies where he doesn’t have time to get it back to the batcave. So he has to drop it off somewhere and call someone to pick it up.
Which generally leads to Bruce’s body getting “weekend at Bernie’s”-ed by his children.
They get a whole scrapbook’s worth of embarrassing pics they posed him for, a few of which have his ghost in the background smirking. This technically counts as family bonding time right?
Of course, now the rest of the Justice League know about this? He can traumatise them as well! Just, leave his body to stretch out properly and then get back in. In full view of the team. Who are now included in the emergency body pick up plans. They also get to see him in all his green and pink glory. Danny of course is not at all fazed when Batman drops his body. Ever. As far as he is concerned? The body is essentially a coat. This only re-inforces the fact that this is a dead teen. The fact he also has his living form? Doesn't matter here. He's dead enough for that to be nothing important.
Imagine that for his Brucie persona, he says that he has suddenly and spontaneously developed narcolepsy to explain why his body just suddenly ‘faints’ for long periods of time out of nowhere. Bruce just turns invisible before exiting the body so he can be in a hotel, meeting, gala, or car and the body looks like it just goes slack (but is still breathing). So while Bruce is often unconscious during villain attacks he can also do this to respond to SOS messages from the other bats. (does he use this ‘fainting’ to get out of meetings? Oh yes he does.)
(Or even better. He hires a blob to ‘take the wheels’ for a bit whenever he has to go Batman. This shall be Alfred the Blob).
Maybe he offers Deadman the chance. since he is a colleague he can trust. Like, I have a two week mission. where ghost powers would be best. If you could over shadow my corpse and make a few public appearances? Give you a chance to eat something for a change.
Guess who forgot to post the one thing they drew for Dick and Dami Week? Me!!! :)
Anyway, this is Day 4: Reunion / Recovery.
This is set after their post-Spyral reunion; I'd imagine they'd need a big nap after all the emotions and crying and whatnot.
...Yes, I know Dick's hair should be shorter but I didn't remember until 3 quarters in and by then I liked what I drew too much to redo it.
Ok so it's about 6 months late, but my contribution to the 'Vampires' prompt for Dickanddamian week 2025
