Concept: tommyinnit in Gotham like those Peter in Gotham fics (specifically C!Tommy)
Just think about it. First off, the way C!Tommy is written in fics is rly similar to Andrew Garfieldās spiderman if he was aloud to cuss a lot and be British. So already we know the dynamic would work.
Plus, if you go with C!Tommy and not content creator Tommyinnit, then this is someone who knows nothing about the modern world. In Peter in Gotham fics his culture shock is the diff between hero society mostly, and Danny is usually still in the same universe he just moves towns, but Tommy?
Bro doesnāt know what a vigilante is. He knows what a hero is, but would he know about vigilantes? Heās never lived in a world where that was a possibility, so heās probably never heard the word before, so the bats are just a new concept to him entirely.
And thatās not even touching him learning about modern technology. The technology in the dsmp is so fucked, thereās nukes, but they still use bows and arrows? Plus, their comms are the closest thing to a phone heās ever seen.
Iām just picturing him entering the library like Peter does at the beginning of every fic, but instead of hacking a computer and high tailing it out of there he lingers, because he has no idea what heās doing. He just nearly got ran over by a car, but he doesnāt know what a car is, so it seems like a good starting point. He avoids the computers bc āwtf r those block things?ā And ask Barbara where āthe redstone section isā. (Tommy assumes anything tech is redstone powered) and Barbara is confused bc redstone is a fictional made up thing by Minecraft. And thru this failed interaction Tommy is directed towards the computers, and fails to use one properly for the next hr. Barbara watches in shock, and immediately messages the GC about a āpotential clone/alien/escaped lab rat situationā.
He doesnāt think to get a form of ID bc heās never needed one, or get a job. Everyone always built their own places and lived there in Minecraft. So taxes and economy and working for money is something new heās learning.
Also his unique trauma just giving the bats a headache, like what do you mean you fought in a national war at 9??? You gen believed ur brother was gonna make u president at 14, then he blew up said nation in front of you??? Tf is a HYBRID? Tim also fucking loosing it at their cracked technology in the SMP.
If someone were to do this my one ask is you add Tommy being scared of ppl with masks on. It makes him tense when he canāt look at someoneās facial expressions to see if theyāre mad (thank you c!dream). So red hoodās helmet, and Batmanās clow just fucks with him. At least hood has a domino mask underneath that makes Tommy feel better (not great, but better) but Batman will forever be untrusted until way later in the fic.
Tommy: I donāt have a good track record with brothers, or family in general.
Literally any of the batkids: neither do I.
