do you think ma and pa kent had to pretend to be antivaxxers so that they wouldn't have to explain why their son of steel keeps breaking the syringes. do you think they still flee in shame every time they run into smallville's only pediatrician at church or the farmers market so they dont have to explain why their boy still hasnt had a tetanus shot even though he regularly works around farm equipment. do you think the town vet wonders why the kents give their various farm animals shots when necessary but not their only son. do you think it keeps them up at night.

I really like the idea that Bruce keeps acquiring sidekicks that Jason already knows personally.

Tim? Yeah, Jason knows Tim. Nerdy neighbour kid who came over to play videogames. 

Oh Steph? You mean school-bus Steph? Steph from Jason’s school bus?

Wow Bruce you adopted Cass? Yeah, Jason knows her. Yeah, Talia dropped him off with her as part of his training tour. Yeah, they spent the weekend watching movies on Jason’s phone and got no work done.

Damian. As in, the kid Jason babysat whenever Talia was off doing league shit? That Damian?

Duke? From the same school bus?

Batman: I have 800 costumes because I must be prepared for any eventuality

Wonder Woman: I have 1200 costumes because I’m 6,000 years old, I like a little variety, it’s important to dress for diplomacy, and Hephaestus doesn’t get much commission from anywhere else these days

Superman: I have one costume because my moms made it. No I will not get a new one and fuck you for suggesting it

Bruce googling “Top Ten Clues Your Teammates Know Your Secret Identity” There was that post going around about members of the justice league playing “fuck, marry, kill” with Bruce Wayne in the mix, and, well.

"superman knows everyone's secret identity because he can see through masks and eavesdrop anywhere, batman knows everyone's secret identity because he's the world's greatest detective, and wonder woman knows everyone's secret identity because she has a magic lasso" is fine and all but i think it's funnier if clark makes an active effort not to look through masks because he thinks it's rude, bruce knows despite making no effort because they're all actually terrible at keeping secrets, and whenever diana wants to know someone's identity she just asks bruce and it never occurs to him not to tell her

for some reason middle aged comic fans coming on the internet to defend their decision as to why they thought a twelve year old should have died or lived is so funny 😭😭😭

You’re a regular office worker born with the ability to “see” how dangerous a person is with a number scale of 1-10 above their heads. A toddler would be a 1, while a skilled soldier with a firearm may score a 7. Today, you notice the reserved new guy at the office measures a 10.

[captain-acab]

You decide it’s best to find out what you can about this person. Cautiously, you approach his desk. He’s a handsome man, tall, but with a disarming smile. How could such a friendly guy with such cute, dorky glasses be dangerous?

You extend your hand. “I noticed you’re new here. What’s your name?”

He shakes your hand warmly. His gaze is piercing, as if he’s looking right through you. “The name’s Clark,” he says. “So, how long have you worked for the Daily Planet?”

[misscrazyfangirl321]

This one wins.

[janothar]

It’s been a few weeks, and one of Clark’s friends shows up.  She’s pretty and all, enough muscle that she must work out.  First thought would be that she should be maybe a 6.

Clark’s introducing her around.  “This is my good friend, Diana, she’s in from out of town.”

You blink, and take a step back in fear.  You’ve never seen an 11 before.

[aniseandspearmint]

The day Bruce Wayne shows up for his long promised interview with Lois Lane, you can’t help it, the mug your holding drops from your fingers and sends a shock of hot coffee and ceramic shards across the floor.

Clark stops a few feet away and squints at you worriedly from behind those ridiculous glasses you’re 99% sure he doesn’t actually need, and asks tentatively, “Everything all right?”

You ignore him in favor of staring at the inky dark numerals hovering over the beaming fool gesticulating some fantastic yacht story for a gaggle of secretaries and minor columnists.

That’s it. Your gift has officially gone haywire. There is no other explanation. Because there is absolutely no way that Brucie Wayne is a 10.

[petitstar]

At this point, you’ve seen it all. Miled manner reporters and billionaires at a 10 and a model-like woman at 11. You were really starting to doubt your power. The day you really stopped believeing in it was when Bruce Wayne came for another visit, and this time with a kid. The kid couldn’t be more than 10 years old, a bit on the short side.

He was an 8.

[lainathewitch]

The day you started believing in it again was when you saw on tv the formation of something called the justice league.

There were those same numbers over superman, batman, wonder woman and robin. That’s when you put two and two together. You wonder how nobody at the daily planet noticed that Clarke was Superman with glasses. You wonder why you didn’t notice. You wonder why nobody put two and two together that Diana Prince and Wonder Woman looked exactly the same. You look in the mirror as the realization hit you and you see your own number change from a 3 to a 9.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually reblogged this magnificent post and that’s shame.

[nat-20s]

Clark Kent finally goes to get therapy but the only person who knows both of his identities AND is in any way actually qualified is Harley Quinn

[nat-20s]

They're staring each other down in some bland ass room painted a soothing blue like

Clark: ... This HAS to be some sort of conflict of interest

Harley: aww not to worry Supes I'm totally profresh

Clark: that's not actually that reassuring

[nat-20s]

Clark starting to try and open up even though that usually requires an emotional crowbar: it's just... isolating, sometimes. There's not really any one person that is in the same position as me and it's... Hard

Harley: well that's why we have emotional support networks rather than just one person! I know I'm your position it's especially hard to build that up, but you've done a rather impressive job so far. I mean, you break it down, and Lolo may be your wife, but she's not gonna know everything you go through, nor should she have to. She understands your workplace stresses, the justice league is there for hero stuff, Diana gets being powerful enough to scare people, Kara and J'onn are both in the last survivors boat, and when it comes to the complications of balancing identities, Brucie will be there. The best part of all this is that you also don't have to be everything to any one person, which is something you seem ta struggle with.

Clark: oh. You're... good at this?

Harley: I fuckin told ya I was

Jason Todd, chilling out in his safehouse cleaning his guns or whatever, listening to a bunch of podcast episodes he downloaded earlier:

Podcast host: welcome back to Gnarliest Murders! now today we’re gonna be discussing a really gruesome case. it’s got everything: celebrity intrigue, supervillains - 

Jason: neat

Podcast host: - brutal beatings and explosions!

Jason: hey wait a second

Podcast host: that’s right folks, today we’re going to be digging into the murder of billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne’s adopted son, Jason Todd

Jason: okay what the fuck

Podcast host: but before we get into the gory details, let me tell you about today’s sponsor, Squarespace! With Squarespace you can-

Jason: what the fuck??

[penny-anna]

Jason, listening to the podcast hosts theorise about how his death could have been faked & he could still be alive: you know they’re making some good points
