Sleepy bat
Types of people I've encountered in the Batman/Batman-adjacent community:
How the fuck does one study for to two consecutive exams from completely different subjects when one is like 10% of your grade and the other one is 25% OTL
Cow, Bebe and papa
A Bat in the Shadow
au where superman comes to earth as an adult and everyone but bruce can see that he's a little.... weird
Batman fans need to stop virtue signalling about how much you feel sad that batman is the main point of focus of dc universe. stop pretending to be sorry the enemy will not like you more thanks to it.
thing that grew from a style study
it's okay! you're okay!
RUN RUN RUN
I wish you a happy life.🥲
I would love to hear any thoughts and comments abt this picture. I put lots of effort in this so that would mean a lot to me.

It's not every day Clark got to head back home for the summer, but his Ma and Pa were not getting any younger, and Perry seemed way too understanding when he put in his PTO. Clark wasn't one to look at the gift horse in the mouth either way.
"CLARK!" His Ma called from the kitchen, an early riser through and through, the scent of freshly cooked breakfast and bacon grease waking him up from his sleep. "It's time to get up!"
Contrary to popular belief (Bruce), Clark wasn't a morning person. He did wake up with the sun, just like his Ma and Pa, but he much preferred lounging in his bed, basking in the morning light until the rays got too hot to bear. He didn't get to do that very often back in the big city, so he grumbled at being disturbed in his sleep. He ultimately gave into the siren call of Ma's warm breakfast, and lumbered down the stairs in his sleep clothes like an unruly toddler dragging his feet. Lois would throw her back out laughing if she saw him like this.
"Oh you poor thing, have you been resting properly? You look drained!" Ma commented as he shuffled into his seat at the dining table. A hum left Clark's still half asleep figure as the front door opened and Pa walked in with the Saturday morning paper and dew staining his overalls. Ma yelled across the room to not track dirt into her clean home, and Pa's rumbling laughter woke him up just a little bit more. Right on time as well, as a steaming plate of fluffy pancakes, eggs and bacon was placed in front of him. The headlines on the first page of the paper had something about a three headed sheep being born on a farm across town, the same one that had just lost its patriarch to a mysterious illness, and Clark gave that a curious thought before greeting his Pa.
"Well look who finally woke up," a huff left Pa as he sat down across from Clark, "How's Metropolis treating you?"
They talked between bites of their food, Ma joining them with her own plate. His phone pinged occasionally with messages from his group chats. Lois sent him an update on a lead she was following, something about a multiple missing persons case in a few remote towns. Strange sightings have been happening in the areas for a while, animals with misshapen limbs and birds with no feathers, and Lois believed there was some correlation to the two. Diana has sent a meme in their Trinity group chat with Bruce, tagging the elusive man under a picture of a black cat prowling in the dark with a tiny orange cat following behind. Clark reacted to the image with a heart, and returned to his breakfast.
"You mind looking at Bessy for me, Clark? She's been acting up again, and I can't find what's wrong with her."
"You gotta let her go Pa, she's too old of a tractor to be running smooth now." The red tractor had been with the Kents for as long as Pa had lived, and the man refused to buy a new one, even if Clark offered to pay for it. At Pa's (predictable) refusal, Clark sighed and agreed to look at old Bessy once more. If he couldn't figure it out either, he'd call up Bruce for a favour. The man would probably fit the rusty thing with a turbo engine for fun.
Once he finished his breakfast and freshened up enough, he headed to the barn where the tractor sat. The few cows the Kents had in their name were grazing beside the barn, and Clark stopped to affectionately rub one of the cow's heads before carrying on with his duty. By the time he had made any progress with the tractor the sun made his bed at the highest point in the sky.
Bruce had called him at some point, and the two had been chatting about what was happening in their lives for a short while. It was good company while Clark tried his best to fix his Pa's old tractor, and Bruce even had some pointers for him to use. This was something they had taken to doing more often, keeping in touch with the other, because it 'built camaraderie and trust', in Diana's very wise words. He'd probably call her in the evening as well, just to see how the latest additions to the museum's repertoire were doing with the public.
The sounds of the outdoors blanketed Clark's surroundings, the rustling of animals grazing in the fields, wind blowing through the leaves of the trees that dotted the flat midwestern terrain. Bruce’s mute baritone carried through the speakers of his phone, the man talking about a recent case that sounded just a bit too similar to what Lois was investigating. He mentioned as much to Bruce, and heard him pause before typing something in the background. Seeing the lead, Clark proceeded to explain what Lois' case was, and the more he talked about it, the stranger it all sounded. Maybe there was some magic involved? Should they bring in Zatanna?
Clark stayed on the call as he finished up with the tractor, listening to Bruce’s theories as he wiped the grease off his hands on a rag and walked out of the barn into the afternoon sun. The cows had largely migrated in search of more grass to graze on, standing closer to the water trough than they did before. Some of the cows seemed to look up as Clark left the barn, but went right back to grazing and ruminating on their meals.
Except for one, that is. The cow seemed to stare at Clark for a bit, abnormally fixated on the man who stared right back at it. He felt a strange sense of unease the longer he stood under the sun, scrutinized by a weird looking cow of all things. It's eyes looked way too focused to dismiss. He tried pulling on his memories to place a name on this weird cow, but he couldn't recall it even with his eidetic memory. Did Ma and Pa buy a new one without telling him? Was she a calf that grew up while Clark was away? But Ma would tell him if a cow on their farm had a calf, wouldn't she?
In his momentary confusion, he had forgotten he was still on a call with Bruce. His friend's voice came over the phone, repeating his name again and again to get his attention and Clark shook his head to clear his thoughts before answering back. What a strange cow....
The interaction stayed in his mind for the entire day, even after his best efforts to not think about it. His parents denied purchasing or adopting a new cow when he asked, and that left a sour taste in his mouth. What was that, then?
Ma and Pa were supposed to leave for a family event out of town, and Clark stayed back to take care of the house for the few days they wouldn't be home. He bid them farewell in the evening, still thinking about the cow, when he realised just what was bugging him about the animal.
The call connected and Bruce’s voice came out rough and a bit annoyed, like Clark was interrupting the man. Seeing as it was the usual time Batman left for patrol, he guessed he did interrupt him.
"What-"
"Cows don't have front facing eyes."
"Clark, what?-"
"Cows have monocular vision, they have eyes on the side of their face-"
Bruce cut him off before he could ramble further. He realised the man probably already knew what lateral vision was. "Get to the point Clark, what's happening?" He sounded worried, the skid of wheels on granite and clicking of keyboard keys told Clark Batman was already on the batcomputer.
"There's a cow on my farm with front facing eyes."
A pause. Suddenly, all the weirdly formed animals popping up in Lois' investigations and Bruce's case made sense. Suddenly, he realised those places usually had people going missing in their homes.
Bruce didn't speak, the silence spoke enough for him. Clark felt a surge of relief at knowing his parents weren't at home.
"What the heck is on my farm?"
A sucked in breath, a tense moment. Clark knew the man on the phone had reached similar conclusions.
"Call Zatanna. Get to the Watchtower. We need to see if this is a worldwide phenomenon we failed to notice."
What in the world were they dealing with?
"Of course we can't stand him, our hero. But of course we’re depending on him— Come forth, hero!"
while a bunch of you are reblogging my posts about the blackout and taking about how some nonblack dc fans don’t care about black people and supporting black art etc etc, i feel really inclined to say that a LOT of this support just stops at reblogging art or talking about comics about black characters. like a lot of nb people here don’t really seek black art in other ways outside of these comics or specific characters. and, relateldy, it’s starting to feel like some of these nb people have chose to make the blackout/(now cancelled) boycott the hill to die on when it comes to talking about black art and how much they support it.
in this fanbase i see people make playlists for characters and on these playlists sometimes there isn’t a single song by black artists. or the playlists lack any rap or hip hop or even soul music which are generes where black artists are very prominent.
i see people make AUs or crossovers or talk about how a character would enjoy xyz movie/show/musical and i can’t think of a single time it’s been a movie or show or musical by/about black people or black characters.
and sometimes it makes me feel a little bit awkward as a black person. like there’s been times where i try to say i think a song fits a character or ship and people have just never heard of the artist or the song or “i don’t listen to that stuff” (usually rap or hip hop) or don’t seem interested in hearing it. or, to get to know people, i ask them if they’ve heard xyz artist, or seen xyz movie, or watched xyz show. they never have.
like i remember last year BEGGING people over and over to please go watch sinners because it was SO good, some people admitted they waited until it was out on streaming because they didn’t think it would be a theatre worthy watch, etc. but when movies like FNAF2 or thunderbolts came out some of them ran to see them and talked about them for weeks??? (iirc there was even a captain america movie with a black lead that came out in 2025?? and i saw marvel fans fawning over thunderbolts so much and v little talk about a black man being captain america!!!)
those are just a few examples but really i guess i just want to say that a lot of people are seizing this opportunity to attack each other and bully each other and turn the dcsowhite talk in to a competition over who supposedly cares about black people The Most but all of that support is rarely going beyond this conversation or even outside of the fanbase. some people are putting black characters above real people as a whole (which was something that was acknowledged as a point of concern amongst black people discussing the blackout and was one of the things that determined the cancellation) and w some people it feels like they’re narrowing “supporting black art” down to comic books and then berating others for not caring about black creations when there’s so much more beyond comics that they themselves do not engage with at all.
there are so many other forms of art made by black people that you should all seek out with and engage with beyond just talking about comic books and comic characters! especially if you’re looking to branch away from dc or the comic business.
let your support go beyond talking about/reblogging posts about needing more comics.
