We don’t appreciate the fact that Bruce Wayne is a Kardasian level celebrity enough. Everyone knows him. I want more one shots and crack fic moments where the League (Pre identity reveals) just openly talk about Bruce Wayne in front of Batman.

Just imagine them playing fuck, marry, kill with famous actors and such and throwing Bruce into the mix. And Batman just sits there, silently suffering as he listens to the reasons why Flash and Lantern would marry, fuck, or kill him. He prays they choose kill. They don’t.

[batfamfucker]

Barry: Eat the rich!

Bruce: Oh thank Go-

Clark: Oh, I intend to 🥴🥵

[batfamfucker]

[whispering-imp]

It’s Batman’s turn. Bruce needs to decide whether to marry himself for the money or throw himself off the cliff.

[primeemeraldheiress]

Okay but can you imagine what kind of identity reveal situation that would be?

“I would fuck —-, I would marry —-, and then I would commit suicide.”

“Batman, that’s not how the game is played. You have to choose for Bruce Wayne.”

“I did.”

“…WHAT?!”

[lynati]

“I would kill Bruce Wayne just to get him out of this conversation.”

[aqueerkettleofish]

This works best if the reveal comes after literally everyone else has played, and half of the people have said “I’d marry Bruce Wayne for the money” and the other half have not only said that they’d fuck him, but been reasonably graphic as to how.

[althor42]

Flash: So, tall, dark, and scary, what’ll it be? Are you going to marry Bruce Wayne so he can fund all of your sick gadgets? Maybe you’ll be a gentle lover to him like Aquaman here, work him over like a hunk of meat like Supes? Or maybe Brucie is the one person in the world you break your code for. Come on, what’ve you got for us?

Batman: -pauses- Honestly, I don’t think there will ever be a better time for this. -pulls off his cowl-

Justice League: -horrified screeching-

pLEASE- 😭🤚

Excuse me, he would be thinking “bruce wayne is already dead” and not participate at all or reveal his identity.

don’t get me wrong i enjoy clark & bruce’s friendship a lot but early relationship stuff where they’re just hissing at each other like stray cats. love that.

[penny-anna]

bruce is like ‘this guy CLAIMS to be benevolent but he’s a frighteningly powerful alien visitor who is obviously not being honest about who he is and where he comes from so i do NOT trust him and clark is like ‘this guy dresses like a bat and punches people. what the heck.’

[penny-anna]

‘i pulled 4 all nighters in a row and i have successfully linked ‘Superman’ to his civilian identity ‘‘‘Clark Kent’‘‘ and he’s definitely not being honest about his lifestory, his birth documents are all careful forgeries but his school and college records all seem to be real? its all extremely shady, ALSO he keeps showing up at events I’m attending in his reporter identity so he’s clearly trying to psych me out. why is he doing this. what game is he playing.’

*looking through the cowl w x-ray vision* ‘oh you’re bruce wayne lmao.’

[penny-anna]

#clark is chill but is extremely confused as to why billionaire philanthropist bruce wayne is running around dressed as a bat #bruce is genuinely unable to fathom the idea of superman actually having a day job and a real life and *actually* being a journalist #“why are your educational records so intricately forged?” #“uhhhhh… they’re not? i actually went to school bruce.’ ’#’‘why do you keep showing up to my events in disguise?’ ’#’'i’m not in disguise??? it’s my job????’ ’#’'who is your accomplice?” #“you mean lois?????? she’s my wife???????” #“suspicious…”

Bruce, cornering Clark at an event: I know what you are and I know you know who I am. why are you everywhere I go? are you following me? why are you doing this to me?

Clark, who keeps covering events in Gotham bcos no-one else wants to do it and he’s the new guy so he’s gotta: *deep sigh* ok-

[penny-anna]

Bruce: who is your accomplice? what does he know?

Clark, very tired: that’s Jimmy, he’s my photographer, and he literally doesn’t know anything

“We still have the occasional fan reaction of ‘I don’t like Harley and Ivy together. She should get back with the Joker,’ which we’re never going to do,” Schumacker said. “Harley and Ivy will never break up in the series as long as we have a say. That’s something that we never want to touch again.”

"Why don't the people of Gotham just move?"

Because it's a massive East Coast city but the property values are probably like $200 a month for a three bedroom apartment, and most Gothamites are like, "Hey, Bane never swore to break my back."

And here's the thing: you're not just moving out of Gotham City. You're moving into the rest of the DC universe. And it has hero-based power scaling.

Oh, Metropolis looks fucking great. But it gets invaded by aliens and robots and demigods, because Superman is there.

Wonder Woman's tangling with gods.

You go to Central City, and some Reverse-Flash motherfucker runs backwards from an alternate future and kicks your balls off at the speed of light.

You could move to the West Coast, and oh, an entire city just gets exploded by Cyborg Superman or some shit.

How about you move to Indianapolis, or Cleveland? Haha, no. They have no protector during the alien invasions, and you're in Cleveland

So stay in Gotham. Sure, you have lunatics, but you know that if you had a gun, you at least have a chance against the Joker or Riddler. Mongo of War-World would crush you. But Gotham just has creeps, and you know you have a chance. Even Bane, R'as Al-Ghul, Killer Croc, and Mr. Freeze are just slightly altered dudes. Oh no, Poison Ivy is going to kiss me to death! Who gives a shit, you kinda wanted to go out that way anyway.

There are super-intelligent telepathic gorilla warlords in Africa and the Greek titans are real and chained in the abyss
