The Bats are ride or die for each other but really for the small things. I'm not talking covering up for each other for murder or anything like that, just the little things.

Bruce calls Dick from the Manor and asks whether he knows who took that bottle of the 1945 Chateau Mouton Rothschild he was saving for his date with Selina and Dick just glances over to where Jason is adding it to pot roast he's making for dinner in his apartment and he just goes "nope".

Bruce comes running because he hears a crash and the shattering glass but when he comes into the library, Steph and Duke are just sitting there. Reading, quietly at opposite ends of the coffee table. Not a thing out of place... "Where's the vase?" Steph just frowns and asks "what vase?". Bruce describes it, blue and green, bought by some great-aunt, not a favourite but expensive. Duke just shakes his head, "Never saw a vase there, B". Bruce interrogates every Bat but they all look at him like he's crazy. He even digs up all the photos taken in the library because the vase... Isn't there? The Bats had removed and replaced every image file and picture because if Bruce found out they had snuck one of Harley's hyenas in to babysit it for the weekend, they are all cooked.

Bruce opens the fridge and sees that sweet treat he was saving is gone and he lays into Tim because it was his reward for sitting through that board meeting and Tim is about to apologise when Damian just ambles through the kitchen, nose on his phone and goes "Father I saw you consume that cake" and Bruce is "I did not" and Damian just looks up, "You ate it over the sink, Father." And Bruce just bluescreens because did he? Damian and Tim just share a nod, they never speak of it.

Jason accidentally gets knocked out during an intense game of tag which they are not allowed play in the house. They know he's going to be OK but he's still out and Bruce's keys are literally in the door, angling as they turn and... Cass is on the doorstep waiting for him, wanting a hug from her dad and a chat. All the while the Bats have thrown Jason into a wheelbarrow and are extracting him from the house.

And this is Bruce too. Bruce actually gets drunk at a gala, and comes home at like 4am. And he vomits all over the front hall entrance and he's stood there, gasping for breath as he studies the floor that Alfred just had waxed. He looks up to see Dick on the stairs, visiting for the weekend, and he's like, "help me" and Dick just fucking nods, and bolts downstairs before Alfred can get there. Cue Bruce taking ahold of him and yelling, "Alfred, I got him. Oh Dick, how could you?" and Dick just pockets the $200 Bruce passed him.

I was wondering how Bruce explained Jason's death to the public because he's a public figure whose life is of interest to a lot of people and Bruce coming out and saying that Jason died in an overseas terrorist bombing probably wouldn't sit well with the general populace. They would of course ask why a 15yo kid was alone with a stranger (Sheila) abroad? Where was Bruce? Bruce can't go with an accident, it would be too suspicious and there would be an investigation. So they go with an illness.

Leslie forges the paperwork, lab results etc that any media outlet could access but Bruce never actually confirms it formally. The media put the pieces together. And so the story of brave little Jason Todd, "Gotham's Very Own Cinderella" as the Gazette dubs him, who had found a new family, a place in society then had died tragically of a long term illness just as he was "saved"? It's tragic. Bruce who in a effort to make amends for his lie and do some good funds charities and research into said illness, under the Jason Todd-Wayne Foundation.

Cue Jason who returns to Gotham and starts building a reasonable relationship with Bruce, finding out that Bruce lied about him having an incurable disease and asking the million dollar question? How do they explain he's alive? As if by fate, Jason's reintroduction to the public comes just after Leslie announces that they've done it. All the money, fundraising, memorial readathons etc funded the cure for the disease. And it's all due to Jason, who is miraculously alive??? Jason who appears at a press conference with Bruce, assuring the media that while his recovery was long, arduous and at times kept him from home being in hospital for so long, he has been alive this entire time and Wayne Enterprises has capped the price of the cure and it's readily available within weeks.

How do you think the batfams life’s would look like if they weren’t vigilantes?

Bruce doesn't have to do the whole Brucie Wayne performance any more so he focuses on WE, especially its humanitarian efforts but most of the time he's a stay at home dad.

Alfred retires officially cared for by Bruce and the kids, he still lives at the Manor except a few wild weekends away with the other grandparents.

Jason becomes a middle school teacher, who fiercely loves his kids and runs literacy programs for underprivileged youth.

Damian is torn between becoming a veterinarians surgeon or a paediatrician, he's studying hard to get into a good college rn.

Dick works with various charities around performers and safety with stunt people, he organises care for elderly actors or stunt doubles and medical care for permanently injured performers.

Cass trains to become a professional ballerina and works with a dance teacher who teaches children from all around Gotham.

Steph is training to become a nurse like her mom but wants to work in psychiatric medicine.

Duke uses his powers to help people still, helping those who can't or won't ask the GCPD for help and in his downtime, he mostly chills with his friends and volunteers after school with a community centre his mom used to help run where he can mentor kids.

Tim still lives in Gotham but he likes to travel the world too. He runs different branches of WE but went into his family business of archaeology, solving ancient mysteries just to scratch that itch.

Thoughts on a Kori & Babs friendship? I've found that in a few universes (though not many) Batgirl and Starfire actually seem to be pretty close and I could see them hanging out a lot doing things like shopping and sleepovers and gossiping about the boy heroes while doing their nails

I just find that both of them are oft in competition with each other because of Dick and while I definitely have my own side in that ship war I think outside of him they could be really good friends but you always have interesting headcanons so I'd love to know what you think

I think they both respect and like each other and most of the tension between them is caused by the sideways glances they get when they interact, like people going "oh it's about to go down". The thing is, that is isn't, it won't. Babs and Kori aren't just their relationship with Dick, they're both more than Dick's exes. They actually like spending time together alone, Kori showing Babs tech from Tamaran and Babs letting Kori access data bases to learn more about earth. They bond over their roles as heroes.

Had this idea of Bruce and his little dressing gowns. Bruce loves the short ones, in fact the shorter the better and a man his build? They suit his playboy, messy disguise to a tee, and every now and then he used to walk the estate in them just to give the paparazzi something to write about much to Alfred's dismay. He used to meet visitors at the door in his little dressing gowns, sit down with cops and anybody else bulling their way into the Manor 'unexpected'. Bruce who famously has his own line of slutty little dressing gowns, who's fashion spawned an era of men donning their girlfriend's robes in an effort to look effortlessly sexy (Lex's attempt became a laughing stock because he locked himself out of his high rise 'getting the paper' when Superman was flying past). Bruce who retired his little robes with honour once he became a family man, but Gotham remembers.

Process Gif of my Elliott piece! I had so much fun with this layout, trying to work out what means most to him as a character, and experiementing with pencil style backgrounds and my usual lining for the characters! Also hugely inspired by @caemidraws, how they take moments of interactions and themes and items and weave them together in such a clean and precise way? Incredible, please check them out!

WHA Quick Reacts: CH71

I'm sure no one forgot to evacuate the less idyllic part of town, ey?

It's a little too late for it, I fear......

Yeah, you kinda gotta wonder how you're supposed to, you know, END the horrors, instead of just running away from them.

ah. So, final death throws.

Thankfully SOME teachers are still worth their salt.

That does track, but didn't you create a roomba? How did that happen? Just straight vibes?

These two better make it out of the chapter alive................

Custas, I swear to fuck, if you're gonna be a little bitch about this--

My brother in Butthurt, YOU attacked HER on sight. The teacher didn't do anything except caution her.

"Tch" じゃねーよ

Technically she didn't even blame you. You're too lost in the victim sauce, my guy.

Okay. So.

Custas. Is finding victims. And taping them back together using ductape.

And then suggesting they were left for dead.

Which, they MAY have been. I'm not denying the possibility.

There's also the possibility that they simply..... could not be rescued immediately. Especially with the chaos.

But not ruling out either potential here.

Still. This is about to create...............a WILD hell of an aftershock.

Well, if you make them relive their death without giving them access to medical care eventually, it might stray into incidental torture category, but

This does not bode well for Coco and Qifrey. They are NOT priming Custas to be any more prone to listening than he already wasn't.

If You Give a Depressed Teen an Existential Crisis

Yoooo my first fanart for the wonderful 'If You Give a Bat a Burger' by @noir-renard

IYGABAB has been a pretty big inspiration to me and my attempts at writing so I am so happy to finally get one of my fan pieces done. This is actually one of the first works I finished to try and get outta an art block rut so it may look a little choppy in some places (always check the colors on a main monitor guys ✌️😔) I AM super happy with the background so yippee me.

I can't believe how close to done this story is now. It feels like just yesterday I was binge reading up to chapter six and ruining my sleep schedule for a few days afterword's just to get some more juicy lore.

[noir-renard]

I LOVE THIS!!!!

[hellofriendhawke]

It's not complete but it is DONE (for now), my fanimation of @noir-renard 's If You Give a Bat a Burger. The song is actually the author's own idea and it inspired me to make this.

[noir-renard]

😭💖😭💖😭💖😭 I LOVE THIS THANK YOU!!!!

[veggiesforpresident]

honestly one of my favorite things about fanfic is when you can see the canon influences come out in really subtle ways. like a canon line thats mentioned once as a throwaway is suddenly the entire premise for a fic or it influences the characterization or something. its just so cool to see how people weave their ideas around a source material, especially if its not a detail i'd thought about before
