Everything I post about Batman is 99.9%, not canon, and is for entertainment 🤍 I'm not responsible if you believe it is canon‼️

The batkids doing that thing where they start to panic when they don't see Bruce in one of his designated spots in the manor. They check his bedroom, his office, the living room, and the batcave and realize they have no idea where he is. You can just hear the escalation in their voices when it goes from "B!" To "Bruce!" To "Dad!"

Clark: So, busy tomorrow? I was thinking we could do something..

Bruce: Sorry, I can't. Promised Alfred I'll try and rest, at least till noon.

And some did rest, but it was not Bruce.

It's so long since I draw them like that.

Thinking about Bruce accepting that having children means there's no such thing as privacy and personal space. It doesn't matter where he is or what he's doing because his kids are somehow always nearby.

Just imagine Bruce desperately wanting to go to bed after patrol except a stretched out Dick Grayson is already there because "Your bed is way more comfortable, Bruce." He doesn't even live at the manor anymore. Bruce is trying to do a quick workout? Cass appears right by his side, ready to start. Going to the store to get a late night treat? Jason is already there because he apparently needed groceries at 10 P.M. and it just couldn't wait. Working peacefully in his office at work? Tim is walking through the door with files in one hand and a tablet in the other. Bruce decides to browse around a bookstore? Duke comes around the aisle with his arms full of books. Call him naive, but he really thought the bathroom would be an exception, except all his kids are trained vigilantes who know how to pick any lock. Now, he's sitting in a cold bath while listening to Damian complain about his recent mission.

Bruce and Cass feat Damian and Alfred The Cat

Brothers that hate each other they said

And they were right

I drew Tim totally wrong so ignore his face this time

I really love picturing the batkids having an "I need my dad" moment. Like yes, they all desperately fought for their independence and may have told Bruce they don't need him hovering over them, but they still have those days. Doesn't matter if it's one of those times where it's one bad thing after another, or they forget their wallet. All they know is that they need comfort. Of course, the bats being the bats, there's a system to this.

An interaction with a rude person? A text. Broke their favorite mug? A phone call. Woke up feeling a little off? FaceTime. Bad day at work, school, extracurricular activities? A visit to Bruce at the office. Really bad patrol? They'll stay a few days at the manor and hover around their dad. Although they'll never admit they need comfort, Bruce always has a hunch that something is wrong. Call it his parental instincts or whatever, but he's already preparing himself for the most random conversation he's about to have for the day.

I had the idea of Duke not quite feeling connected to the Bats as siblings. Friends, yes. Family, sort of. But brothers, brother and sister? Yeah, he's not really there yet.

That is until he and Damian are out on patrol and they save a bunch of kids. There's a kid that reminds him a little of Dick, a big brother type, looking after his younger siblings and Duke's not sure why but he says it to Damian. Damian agrees, yes the kid is acting very much like mother hen Dick, a little Jason-y in his teasing and very Tim-like with the high-handedness. Duke chuckles and he says he would have hated being a big brother and that he "always wanted a little brother or sister." And Damian just stiffens next to him, and looks at him so hurt, so upset that Duke thinks the kid is after getting shot.

"Am I not a sufficiently adequate little brother, Duke?"

And Duke's entire body takes a screenshot. Because he suddenly realises that yes, these Bats are his siblings. Dick, Tim and Jason are very much like older brothers. They act as mentors, tormentors, they would fight for him. Cass acts like an older sister, she's fiercely protective but not above fighting with him. And Damian? Damian is a little brother. His little brother. Damian gets on his nerves, is in his space but Damian looks to him, admires him and sometimes Duke has seen Damian copying his style or taking note of how he does things. That's his little brother.

Duke just pushes his shoulder against Damian, rolling his eyes. "I meant before, Demon."

Something I was looking up earlier, but eye injury’s can cause a change in eye colour

I keep thinking about duke getting injured in one of his eyes and when Leslie reconstructs it the pigment doesn’t quite come back to his eye fully, leaving a patch of blue

The batkids take it as a sign he’s never leaving since he fits the criteria of black hair blue eyes, Bruce is kinda offended that they think he ever wanted duke to leave

[nyandarin]

Dick: look dami, think of tim like... remember how a few months ago you rescued this injured opossum? try to think of tim like that opossum

Damian: you mean the one that we found in the garbage bin that had rabies, was malnourished and had to get his left hind leg amputated?

Jason: and was fucking ugly and stank

Dick: shut up jason yes! it was super cute, remember?

Damian: if you're trying to use my weakness for small abandoned ungainly animals against me—which is not a weakness—then you're wrong, for nothing about drake even remotely resembles a—

Tim: (digging through the kitchen's trash) has anyone seen my leftover muffins? they were only 2 weeks old, they were perfectly fine

Damian: stares at him in silence

Damian: starts to very subtly tear up

Jason: wheezes

[pall-athena]

Bruce: I just overheard my twelve year old son Jason saying 'Are you sure this is a good idea?' and my sixteen year old son Dick replying 'Trust me.', and I have never moved from one room to another so quickly in my life.

You all love the JLA interacting with the Bat Family so how about the Bat Kids meeting the JLA for the first time?

Hal: Jeez, what the hell? did you knock up some one nightstand, Bats? The hell is that thing? Where's it's mom?

Dick: She fell-

Hal: I bet that's what she said.

Dick: -from a trapeze... She died

Hal:

Clark: *hugging Dick tighter, eyes glowing at Hal*

Diana, squishing Jason's face: This one has the squishiest face.

Jason, almost in tears: I love you Wonder Woman

Diana, whispering: I would die for you.

Clark: *scuffing his shoes because this Robin hasn't even looked over at him*

Tim: Hi I'm... Robin?

Oliver: You don't sound sure.

Tim, deepening his voice: I'm Robin.

Clark: Now, wait a minute, Robin-

Damian: *opening his pocket where there is an eerie green glow*

Clark:

Arthur, arriving with a jar: Sorry I'm late, I just-

Damian: is that... Is that a seahorse?

Arthur: um, yes, buddy. He's just feeling under the weather.

Damian: Is it environmental? Perhaps he has a virus? Can I help?

Arthur: Environmental, poor guy got some oil on him. He will he fine. I'm taking him home later. Do you want to hold the jar while I sit in on this meeting?

Damian: *grabby hands*

Arthur: He's a nice boy.

JLA:

Damian, whispering to the jar: I will avenge you, Bucephelus.

Bruce, holding Cass's hand: This is my daughter. Yes, she was an assassin and yes, she is rehabilitated. You will treat her with respect.

Cass: *tugging Bruce's hand*

Bruce: *leaning down*

Barbara, seated at the JLA meeting table: I'm covering for Batman. He's busy with Gotham business. He would like to-

Guy Gardener: Sorry but who the fuck gives you the right to-

Babs, not even looking up: You're talking a lot of shit for somebody who doesn't know where Iowa was.

Guy: How did you-?

Babs: I'm Oracle. Now, unless you have something worthy to contribute I would exercise that willpower and shut the fuck up.

Wally: Get his ass, Babs.

Babs: Wally, I know what you searched on your phone last night. You're in no position to laugh. Or judge. Frankly, I was disturbed.

Wally:

Babs: Now, as I was saying-

Barry: You're not a Robin?

Duke: No, I'm The Signal.

Bruce's baby forever and always 🤍 I yearn for more domestic moments between the batfam 💔

[shozawayo]

Thinking of an au where the Justice League doesn't know the bats are actually a family and not just heroes that work together. This causes them to become jealous when one of them bothers Batman without getting in trouble.

The JL sees Nightwing tackle Batman from behind, and he doesn't even get shrugged off. He just let's Nightwing hang there.

One day, Red Hood comes in and starts yelling at him, then shoves food in his hands and leaves. Batman proceeds to sit down and eat his meal with no complaints.

Red Robin enters the watchtower, pushes Batman out of the way, and starts going through different files. He doesn't even get scolded for it.

Batgirl appears out of nowhere and drags Batman with her. He just lets himself get pulled along.

Signal walks in and demands that he helps him with a case on day patrol. Batman doesn't even object and goes with him.

Robin comes in and loudly complains about not being allowed to go on a mission. Batman, in a firm but GENTLE voice, tells him that he needs to rest after the last one.

[shozawayo]

Kid Bruce telling his parents and Alfred that one day he'll have a big family, so they'll never be lonely and always have each other.

Teenage Bruce who tells Alfred that he'll never bring children into this world and that he doesn't want or need a family of his own.

Young adult Bruce, who secretly longs for someone special to come home to but chooses to focus solely on Batman.

Mid twenties Bruce suddenly deciding to take in a child because he doesn't want anyone else to end up like him.

Middle-aged Bruce, who sits back and admires the family he tried so hard to not let himself have.
