gonna make an mlp au cutie mark hcs for the batfam bc i saw one earlier akfhsksjs (no duke, sorry 😭 i havent read anything about him (at least in comics( and i refuse to use wfa as a source bc its amssacred his charactrr or so ive heard))
bruce - a bat . he got it when he was either training to become batman or when he went down to the cave the first time. it was one of the reasons he chose to become batman, aside from the whole symbol of fear thing or whatever. he covers it up using makeup or something usually when hes out as brucie wayne, so the general public thinks his cutie mark is like cash or whatever
i also hc he got his cutie mark later than most ponies lmao
dick - something related to acrobatics/gymnastics? the trapeze thingy. he got it pretty early when he was learning how to do circus shit as a filly
jason - a stack of books lmaoaoao my boy's special interest is literature hes literally me
itd be interesting if post-resurrection his cutie msrk changed, even ever so slightlt to signify that his destiny has now been changed or corrupted
tim - either a camera or a magnifying glass, but im more partial to the latter. maybe hes lite bruce and covers his cutie mark and pretends its a camera? something to signify his role asba detective
damian - a bloody sword or something? something related to his time at the league. or maybe just a katana. or just a drop of blood. he's grown incredibly ashamed of it and loathes his cutie mark
rither that or a paint brush or pencil and he'd also be a late bloomer like his father, he'd get his cutie mark when he first tries drawing or wtv,, imagine its the cover of a generic manga im sobbing
cass - similar to damian. either a drop of blood/something related to combat or ballet shoes
babs - a computer? something related to knowledge. maybe a book or something i think she's worked as a librarian but igot that from wfa and wfa isnt the most ... canon
either way i dont think she's understoof her cutie mark very well growing up until she got joker'd and became oracle ...
steph - im genuinely lost on this one, idk... i havent read spoiler (or if she had a run at all in the 90s actually) but maybe a grappling hook?? or a domino mask?? she's always been very connected to crime and vigilantism, not only as spoiler or batgirl but also as cluemaster's kid
hm: rowan (oc) - a sun/star, maybe a combination of both? like a half n half
if its a sun rowan would grow to fucking loathe it because he refuses to be connected with their father is any way shape or form
if its a star it would tie in nicely with the star motifs of the cutie marks of the other magic-centric characyers, plus they already have a lot connections with stars and shit or whatever
tbf im pretty sure sunset and sunburst have sun cutie marks and theyre both magic centric but whatecer, i think a half n hlaf would eork best
