if we look at the original timeline (aka annabeth and percy being born in 1993) then 2009 was a big year for annabeth bcus not only did the battle of manhattan take place and she finally started dating percy, but also minecraft came out and i think that would be a big deal to her

honestly fave batcat moment might be the end of the movie when she's like 'i'm leaving' and he's like 'ok' and then does that little lean in like 'well, let's kiss again' and she def swerves him for being obsessed with Gotham and not her and i love it.

finally saw The Batman, thinking about sequel possibilities and wanted to scribble out some boards *now with music!

Batman disappearing randomly on everyone vs appearing constantly for Selina…the math is mathing

[asaliveasyouneedmetobemp3]

just thinking about how sad and pathetic and like sopping wet bruce looks when he’s looking at the cam feed and goes “yeah, i can see you…” how soft his voice is…….. how soft his eyes look………….

from now on, anytime I see a thirst post about Bruce Wayne, I’m just gonna assume it was ghostwritten by Selina Kyle

[highly-flammable]

No don’t think about how Bruce was having such a hard time letting Selina go that even though they had said their goodbyes and she had left the cemetery, he had to hop on his bike and catch up with her in order to stay by her side till the last possible second.

[agir1ukn0w]

concept: Selina awake in Blüdhaven at 3am, unable to sleep because she can’t stop thinking about Bruce that mysterious(ly hot) Bat Man she crossed paths with in Gotham. After tossing and turning in her bed for another half hour she gets up, flips on her computer (absentmindedly stroking one of her cats that sleeps on the desk beside her bed), and types into the search engine: ‘bat man gotham.’ As images and headlines appear, we see Selina’s eyes move rapidly back and forth over the screen, absorbing everything she can about the “Caped Crusader,” “Gotham PD’s mysterious, unknown consultant.” She pulls up several blurry photos, lucky shots of him quickly escaping from the limelight, or darting into a shadowed alleyway. There’s one where he’s almost looking straight at the camera, the light in his dark eyes barely discernible, something only she might recognize at a glance. Selina rubs her temple as her eyes narrow; but we see her pupils dilate slightly as the memory of his eyes and his lips flares suddenly in her mind. Frustrated, she enters into the search engine: ‘bruce wayne,’ and is shocked to see articles about his unexpected emergence as a philanthropist much like his father, his charity work and quiet advocacy for an end to rampant crime and poverty throughout Gotham being praised and speculated about. She pulls up a photo of him, taken in the past month or so, much clearer that the blurred, black-and-white pictures of the Bat Man. He is looking directly into the camera, his cold eyes determined and piercing. Selina’s breath catches as something like familiarity creeps up the back of her neck; the eyes, the lips, the jawline. She thinks it’s because she still has the Bat Man on her mind, but still the feeling nags and refuses to leave.

THE BAT AND THE CAT. IT'S GOT A NICE RING. COME ON VENGENCE, LET'S GET INTO SOME TROUBLE.

[jazon-todd]

dizzy at the thought of batcat reuniting and we're still years out from the sequel I CAN'T

I just know it’s gonna be when they’re in plainclothes and he’ll just be staring at her and his face will soften because she’s back and it’ll be all in slow motion, and she’ll be confused but intrigued because she feels like something’s familiar about him but she doesn’t know why because she certainly doesn’t know bruce wayne and she won’t be able to look away and their stupid little theme that was in the background when he tilted her head up with his hand on her chin and stared into her soul for 12 seconds will play again and GOD

Their dynamic <3

I noticed the coolest thing!!

Selina uses the pet names “honey” and “baby” throughout the movie.

When she talks to Penguin and Gil, the DA, she calls them “honey.” She’s emotionally closed off and undercover, so she doesn’t put her heart into flirting, which makes sense. She uses “honey” to gain info from people; she doesn’t mean anything by that name. The second time she bumps into Batman (when she’s burglarizing the mayor’s house), she even says, “listen honey, I didn’t kill nobody!” She doesn’t trust Batman yet; she doesn’t know if he has the same motivations as her.

But when she rides home in the taxi and phones Annika, she calls her friend “baby.” “I’m coming home, baby.” “We can leave the city tonight, baby.” Annika is her close friend, so it makes sense why she uses that sweet pet name. Selina deeply cares about Anni, and you can tell because baby is genuine compared to honey. 

Later on, when Selina talks to Batman by the signal and asks who he is under the mask, she calls him “baby,” and they share a kiss. Selina opened herself up to working with him now, and she’s willing to call him a genuine pet name because she genuinely kinda likes him. 

When things go south, and she asks Batman to help her kill the shady cop, and he refuses, Selina is hurt. She thought he was on her side, but he wasn’t. She puts her walls up again and closes him off. “Don’t worry, honey. I got 9 of ‘em.”

And finally, during the big fight scene in the Garden, she decides to stay and save Batman’s life. He’s hurt, and she consoles him by saying, “it’s ok, baby. It’s over now.”

Basically, you can see the filmmakers/Zoë Kravitz put SO MUCH care and love into every detail of Selina’s character. Selina is usually so closed off and elusive, but you can tell how much she cares about someone by the pet name she uses for them! It’s a fascinating aspect of her character! 

AND it’s helpful for fanfic writers: Selina is only genuine when she calls someone “baby!” “Honey” is only uses when she’s angry or undercover!

when selina saw bruce dangling from that catwalk...the absolute terror in her eyes that he was going to fall. even knowing how strong and capable he is - he's one of her strays, she couldn't stop the compulsion to rescue him 😭

and how sweetly and gently she cradled his face, after. telling him it was done, it was over. that he could rest. her fear that he was fading when his eyes started to close and the way she kissed him back awake. she's in love, your honor!!
