Although I do see how complex trauma is a neurodivergence in itself, I will never let go of my headcannon that Bruce Wayne is autistic.

His strong sense of justice, his very literal interpretation of morals. (No kill rule, pro-rogue rehabilitation and disregard for police opinions)

The relationship he has with perception. There are endless panels where he talks about lurking in the shadows, being the unseen symbol Gotham needs. He wears a mask, hides his identity. These aren’t necessarily things he has to do when he starts acting as Batman, it’s not like he’s protecting anyone but Alfred. (Not saying Alfred doesn’t mean a lot to Bruce, but rather it wasn’t like he had Dick or anyone working with him at the start.) But he feels like he can more easily be of service to Gotham as a faceless vigilante, what’s to say it isn’t for his own comfort? His own privacy?

His bluntness. Yes, he is the Dark Knight, but he’s also not depicted as being mean necessarily. He’s just honest. Big opinions and not a lot of pussyfooting around them.

He’s also not ever really made out as social. He’s friendly, generous, a socialite, but he’s not someone with a lot of close personal relationships. Which would make a lot of sense for an autistic mask.

He’s someone who wasn’t given the tools to cope in a way that made sense so he’s actively always trying to make sure no one goes through the same thing. Yes, he’s traumatized. But that trauma and coping would make a lot of sense in the lense of an autistic man. He doesn’t typically have many interests unrelated to being Batman, either. AKA being Batman is his special interest. (/halfjoke)

Tim Drake and Red Robin have exactly the opposite secret identity relationship that Batman and Brucie Wayne have.

Tim Drake? It’s a good thing Bruce adopted someone competent to run the company. The kid is a genius, very formal, very polite. He doesn’t make headlines often, because he’s honestly kind of boring compared to the rest of the family. You kind of forget he’s in a room until he’s giving suggestions on the project that makes everything better and more efficient.

Red Robin? Fucking menace. Cryptid. Runs around stealing peoples things, very outgoing and friendly. Unhinged.

Tim’s parents baked his socialite persona into him early. He’s not risking his public reputation, he knows how to act and what to say to make things work.

Red Robin started as mimicking Dick and early Jason, but ended up more insane over time as Tim grew up. Red Robin is scarier than Damian Robin. Red Robin has killed far more people than Red Hood, and hardly anyone knows this fact. Red Robin doesn’t kill because that would be boring.

you ever think bruce's inability to be the father his children need is a metaphor that he can't ever save himself from his grief. cause you know, the tough love he thinks his children is what he thinks he needed as a child but the fact that none of his children have been able to handle it means he still doesn't know how to save himself

Batfam Head-cannons No.6/??

The Batkids continuously bug Bruce until he agrees to do an impression of himself at a gala.

So Brucie Wayne does a Batman impression at a charity fundraiser. He then gets convinced to enter a cosplay contest [‘You already dress up as a bat to fight crime, Master Bruce, you may as well do this too,’] and loses.

Jason enters as Nightwing, never passing up the chance to mess with Dick, and somehow wins, ‘very realistic weapons’ say the judges. 

Bruce Cannot. Live. It. Down. but at least it doesn’t reach the news. 

You can bet Tim started a rumor that Bruce is a cosplayer though.

Can I get some of that uhhhhh Jason Todd loving on a plus size!reader? Can be nsfw or fluffy. Totally up to you.

gonna pull a wildcard and do fluff!

Rating: Fluff

Jason is super body positive so he is so open to dating someone plus size

He loves picking you up just to show you that he can 💪🏽

Unless you don't want him to pick you up then he doesn't bc he respekt

When you start feeling down about your weight he is so quick to cheer you up and remind you how much he loves you as you are

He's truly with you because he loves you, not just your body (even though it's a plus to him 🤪)

Jason, from 500 ft away, "YAAAAASSSSSS YOU WEAR THAT CROP TOP HUNNEY"

That being said, he is your HYPE MAN, he's going to remind you how good you look like twenty times a day

And by the gleam in his eyes and the quickening of his heart you can tell he's always completely genuine

Jason hugs are like a whole different category of hugs because he hugs you so tightly and his touch is so soft even though you know just how much destruction his hands could cause if need be

And on that note, if Jason hears anyone bad mouth your weight or looks he's straight up throwing hands no cap

You're his baby, his fuckin cinnamon apple, he's not going to let anyone bring you down!!!

Bruce Wayne whose S/O has a Daddy Kink

Unpopular opinion: I liked Ben Affleck as Batman because I thought he personified the older Bruce Wayne great, with his silver tips and charm

Bruce has seen a number of things when it came to bedroom play, after all he’s still considered a bachelor even if he’s made the public well aware of his relationship with you

He’s seen it all, he’s heard it all, personally or on the job (Bruce if Batman) or because of some stalker getting a little too creative

However, as common and as simple as the kink may be, whenever you call him daddy in the bedroom it’s something else

The first time always catches him off guard, because the way it comes from your lips, how sinful it sounds, it’s almost not like you

It can be innocent and playful, or seductive and wanton, but it’s always a shock at first

However, after he realizes that’s how you’re going to play that night, Bruce will either play into your game, or almost become feral…

He loves how sexy you sound when you call him that, it’s overwhelming after the initial shock, and the effect it has on him scares him

No one has ever had this type of effect on him, has had this type of control over his emotions, and it’s breathtaking for him

Bruce will purr in your ear, happily calling you his baby, touched feather light to get you to beg and call him daddy even more

Or he’ll pin you to the bed, grip tight on you as he dominates you and ask if this is what you wanted from daddy

That difference of how it effects him baffles him, but in reality, he’s perfectly okay with it

And heaven forbid you call him that outside of the bedroom

Maybe you’re trying to get under his skin, to get tour way or have him buy you something

Like if you’re at a gala of some sort and you get bored, of you call him daddy where only he can here and flash him those innocent eyes, he’ll make his donation before taking his leave

Your purr that word to him when he’s taken you to a jewelry store to treat you that evening, and he’ll buy the store for you if it pleases you

But you don’t do that

And that’s why he’s okay with your control over him

Because your daddy kink is just that, a kink that makes things more playful and fun between the two of you

And Bruce couldn’t love it more

Things that 100% were said / done during Wayne family interviews

Jason makes up increasingly bizarre stories when asked about his disappearance 

Tim, Dick and Cass all wear their hair parted directly down the middle

They act really offended when it’s pointed out

Jason had to be held back when an interviewer rudely told Cass to speak rather than sign

Bruce shut it down quickly then made a large donation to the Gotham School of the Deaf in that interviewer’s name

Steph accompanied Bruce to an interview despite not being his child

Bruce tells wild anecdotes about his kids every time he is on late night television

They are getting increasingly harder for the audience to believe

They’re all true

That time when a game of manhunt lasted for 46 hours

That time when he came home to every wall of the house painted a slightly different shade

That time when he woke up to a cow in his bedroom, but wait that’s not even the weirdest part-

Tim and Jason have a staring contest for the full twenty minutes because they are sitting in the back row of chairs and no one noticed at the time

(it obviously becomes a meme)

Damian straight up roasts the Gotham City Police and they had to cut to commercial

When Duke’s adoption is first announced to the public and he does his first interview with the fam, the internet goes nuts

“Breaking news: the Waynes continue to be the most good-looking family on the planet.”

The interviewer slides Dick her number after flirting with him the whole time

He laughs about it with Barbara later

People are always trying to ask Kate for an interview

She has thrown coffee on a paparazzi's camera before for touching her

She was not sorry at all

(I will fill any request for this type of post submitted today) (within reason) (I love to see the art created for these posts!! You guys are so talented :)

Being Batman or Superman rebellious daughter would include?

Being Bruce Wayne’s rebellious teenage child would involve..

Bruce really has no idea how to deal with you disobeying him

He feels so out of his depth as a parent

Like, he’s freaking Batman but he can’t control his own kid

He wants you to have the best childhood possible and be there for you as much as possible because it’s something he couldn’t have after his parents died

But you make it really difficult for him

He tried being strict

He’d set a curfew and you’d purposefully come home late

He even tried locking you in your room a few times but you just snuck out anyways

You get along fine with Alfred, which makes it all the more frustrating for Bruce

It gets to a point where if Bruce wants you to do something, he has to get Alfred to ask you to do it

If Bruce asks you to clean your room, you won’t do it

If Alfred asks you to clean your room, you’ll do it

It’s especially frustrating for Bruce because he literally has no idea why

He’ll never admit it, but he’d sometimes follow you as the Batman, just to make sure you’re alright

Also to make sure you’re not getting into too much trouble

He would definitely vet all of your friends too

Checking criminal records, school incident reports, whatever he can get his hands on

He doesn’t want you hanging out with bad influences

One time when he was shadowing you, a couple of thugs recognized you and decided to try and mug you

He obviously wasn’t going to let that happen

He beat the assholes to a bloody pulp

The hug you gave Batman as thanks was the first time you’d touched Bruce in what felt like months

Ever since then, you’d practically idolized Batman

You liked that he didn’t care about what everyone thought and just did what he thought was right

The fact that being a vigilante was essentially illegal didn’t seem the phase you at all

A part of him was happy that you seemed to idolize the Batman so much

Another part of him is a little concerned because Batman is a lawless vigilante

He wants you to look up to someone better than Gotham’s dark knight

The Batman is a symbol of what needs to be done

It’s not meant to serve as an excuse to do whatever you want

And he doesn’t want you following in his footsteps

He doesn’t want you to live the life of a vigilante like he has

Bruce wants you to make Gotham a better place the right way

He wants you to believe in Gotham as much as he does
