These four idiots (they're not idiots, they're smarter than I'll ever be)

Diana Prince (Wonder Woman) with all the batkids when they were kids

Dick Grayson

Diana (rubbing young Dick Grayson's cheek with her hand): Baby, tiny, precious! You're so cute!

Dick giggled with a smile.

Diana: Do you want a candy?

Dick: Mm, yes! Yes! Please!

Diana: Aww, so precious.

Batman: He's not supposed to eat a lot of—

Diana (a sweet smile on her face): Bruce, you and I both know I can break every bone in your body at once.

Batman (hiding his fear): I do remember that. Robin, what happened to not wanting to be treated like a baby?

Dick: When I'm fighting bad guys yes. When it's another superhero like Wonder Woman or Superman and they have candy I'm a baby. Candy please.

Diana (giving the young boy a candy bar): I'm not sure where he found you, but stay around Batman. He needs a little brightness in his life.

Dick: He's cranky without it. I know.

Batman: I wasn't told I'd be getting insulted today. I'll be talking to Superman.

Batman turned away and left, his cape lightly smacking Wonder Woman in the face, but she remained unphased, her winning smile still in place, while Dick enjoyed his candy bar.

Jason Todd

Diana: Oh, you're so cute and precious! I just want to hug you for hours and hours. I love how tiny you are!

Young Jason's feet dangled as Diana scooped him up and hugged him. He couldn't breathe well, but he wasn't trying to break free.

Batman: Wonder Woman... you're smothering him. Let him go.

Jason (awestruck): Hold up, Batman! I'm not complaining. My mom used to give me hugs like this... then she got addicted to crack. I miss her hugs though. You know, Wonder Woman, I wish you were my mom.

Diana (simpering): Oh sweet Gaia! Is this motherly love I'm feeling? It is! I may not be a mother, but I will gladly be your surrogate mama.

Jason: Awesome. Batman, don't pull me away yet.

Diana: Oh sweetie, he knows if he tries, I will break his legs like pretzel sticks.

Batman (checking his fake watch): I actually have to go to another part of the building and talk to anyone else. Robin, meet me there. I'm not afraid of you, Diana.

Diana waved with a smirk as Batman left in a hurry.

Young Jason: This is the greatest day ever. I... I'm… not going to cry, 'cause I'm not a wimp, but like, this is a dream of mine.

Diana: Glad I could make your dream come true.

Tim Drake

Diana: Hi, are you the new Robin?

Tim nodded while eating a Pop-Tart. Diana smiled softly seeing the new Robin, glancing at Nightwing for a second. Her smile dropped, Jason had passed on what felt like just yesterday.

Nightwing wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone at the JLA headquarters so she left him alone until he was ready to talk. It was either handling him then it was Batman, but seeing Tim full of life made her hopeful.

Diana (bowing her head): Nice to meet you, young warrior.

Tim (chewing Pop-Tart): Young warrior? Cool! Diana, I mean Wonder Woman, sorry- I read your case file that Batman has on you. You're like the real deal as a superhero. It's great meeting you. Sorry I'm getting crumbs everywhere; I missed breakfast.

Diana: You're fine. This place is meant for heroes like you.

Tim smiled, finishing off his mid-day snack, then held out his hand, trying to form words while chewing.

Diana: No handshakes needed here, small warrior. Is it alright if I hug you?

Tim (after swallowing his snack): Really? You... you want to hug me?

Diana: Yes.

Tim: Huh, didn't think this would actually happen. Sure!

Tim hugged the woman, closing his eyes happily. Batman tried to pull him off, but Tim wouldn't let go.

Diana: I heard you're a fan of Nightwing. How has he been treating you?

Tim: It's been a mixed bag. When I fell into the job as Robin, I had to babysit Bruce for months. Not a fun time, but worth it.

Diana slowly glared at Batman; he looked away sheepishly.

Batman: In my defense, my other son died and I wasn't on good terms with the eldest one. He's still avoiding me, look, he's over there! All angry at me for nothing!

Diana glanced behind her, continuing to hug Tim. The new Robin wasn't complaining as he stayed enveloped in the hug.

Tim: You give good hugs. They remind me of my mom.

Diana: That's the compliment I needed to hear, honestly. Nightwing, come here!

Dick walked over, his arms crossed. He was angry, his brows furrowed. He had been mad about a lot of things lately, Jason still being gone, Tim working with Batman, breaking up with Barbara, Koriand'r was avoiding him, Tarantula... just Tarantula. Diana squinted, reading the boy's body language, and while she didn't know about his issues, she held out her arm and brought him into a hug as well.

Diana: It's not your fault. Whatever is angering you is not your fault, and you're going to be okay.

Batman: There's nothi— Nightwing, are you crying?!

Dick (covering his sobbing eyes): I... It's hard, you know? I can't focus half the time, and I'm hurt, and Papa doesn't give hugs like this!

Batman: Rude. I'm just going to leave you two blubbering babies.

Batman left as Diana comforted Dick and Tim hugged her.

Tim: This is the best day of my hero life. Like, I have no idea what's fully going on, but I don't mind being here.

Diana (simpering): I can't hold myself back any longer, you boys give me happiness daily. New Robin, you are just as precious as the rest!

Tim: Thanks. Nightwing, you gonna be okay?

Dick (keeping his eyes covered): Yeah, I just got allergies at the moment, and the hug helps.

Diana: That's another plus for the Amazons.

Stephanie Brown (for the short time she was Robin)

Stephanie: Oh my goddess, you're Wonder Woman! Total girl boss! Oh my goodness, you actually are slaying that look! I've been wanting to meet you forever! I—Oh my goodness, I'm embarrassing myself. You want me to leave, right?

Diana (elated): If I could, I'd adopt you, but for now you're an honorary Amazon warrior! Want a hug?

Stephanie: OH MY GOODNESS! YES!

Diana and Stephanie hugged. Any attempt Batman made to break the two apart was met with Diana shoving him away.

Stephanie (dramatic fake sobs): I needed this. Batman is, like, so mean to me. Doesn't braid my hair when I showed him the best tutorials, and he doesn't appreciate me! I swear he's like my dad.

Batman (placing a hand on his chest, offended): Oh, you little brat.

Diana glared at Bruce, whose face turned red with anger.

Batman: She's... Don't give me that look. I'm leaving, and not because I'm afraid you'll hit me!

He stormed off while Diana took Stephanie's hand and led her away to chat and braid her hair.

Damian Wayne

Batman: Okay, so Wonder Woman is a bit... obsessed with cute kids. Just be ready.

Damian: Oh, Father, please. I've dealt with way worse.

The doors to the meeting slid open where Diana was already in the room. She sat at the Justice League meeting table. Once she spotted Damian, she gasped.

Damian tensed, surprised. He backed away slowly as he began to get flashbacks to Talia.

Diana (eager): You got the itty-bitty ones again?! Come here, young warrior!

Damian: Noooo!

Damian ran away as Diana chased him with her arms open wide.

Diana: Let me give you cheek rubs!

Damian (screaming): Get away from me!

Diana: Talia made such a precious baby.

Damian: I am a threat! Stay away from me! Father, call her off!

Clark Kent walked over to Batman, snacking on a granola bar.

Clark: Ever think about not having a kid sidekick?

Batman: You’ve got one more time to ask me that, and I’ll tell Lois who actually dropped the gender reveal cake.

Clark (sarcastic): Glad to see you’re practicing kindness like I told you. No physical threats this time, you’re getting softer, old man.

Batman: Why do you keep pushing my buttons?

Clark: Diana and I like to take turns.

I'll make a part 2 soon, I really need to get a comic artist to draw these... somday lol

[theblueof-ur-eyes]

you know how it's hc (more like a universally accepted but never outright said fact) that the batsons all look like bruce

jason looks most like bruce, drown to the gruff exterior. that bitch is built like a tank and! larger than bruce

dick also looks like bruce. just a happier, more extroverted version of him. and more pretty boy-esque rather than dark and brooding

damian, of course, is a given, but you can tell there's always a balance of talia's features on him. but the scowl, the attitude, the eyebrows and eye shape?? that's all bruce

and then there's tim- oh tim

i've always viewed tim as the effeminate version of bruce (like the equivalant of people saying 'you have your mom's features', if that makes sense; while dick, jason and damian all get it from their dad)

i mean, compared to his brothers, he's smaller. built more compact. and maybe if he didn't become a vigilante, he would be more lean rather than muscled. he was drawn with long hair at some point, and out of all the iterations of batsons i've seen, he has the puppiest dog eyes ever. and! he's always drawn with softer features (or maybe that comes from the fact that dc refuses to age him past 17)

anyways- tim is the type of pretty that you won't notice he'd be a guy if he dressed up as a girl (i.e. caroline hill) but also the type of handsome that you wouldn't guess would be capable of being pretty unless you actually looked at him or saw him dress up as a girl. (which checks out btw, cause tim drake is every bisexuals dream) like yes you don't know if i could be a girl or a boy?? that's the plan

[siriusly-dc]

You know what kills me what actually KILLS ME

Is that the Batfam’s biggest problem is that at their core the Batkids are all trying their hardest to be Bruce, be Batman the best the smartest the strongest the kindest the man who took them in

They grave that validation of clawing their way up to his level

And all Bruce does, what his every action aims to do is to try and prevent his children from ever becoming him in the slightest way possible

And that just makes me want to cry

spooky themed merch wip hehe. much planned

[redrosebug]

Imagine if timey wimey shenanigans happened and Bruce got de-aged to before he lost Jason. He takes one look at his giant of a second child and goes "my🥰son🥰".

Damian is flabbergasted and also very jealous. Not only has he never met a version of his father that is so openly affectionate, but also, he can't believe Bruce is giving Jason so much attention. Damian is FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE.

Dick and Tim take one look at Bruce and go on vacation to TT. That is a Bruce that a) has been fighting with Dick and b) does not know Tim. They do not have the emotional range to deal with him.

Jason is both soaking up the attention and running away from it. He has no idea how his brothers convinced him to stay at the Manor with Bruce, but now he can't leave. The one good thing about the whole situation is that he can brag to Damian that Bruce loves him more.

(Jason has been trying to contact Dick and Tim for a week. None of them have picked up their phones. They are playing air hockey in the Tower. Jason hates them.

Dick asks Tim whether they should return home. Tim gives him a look and Dick's all "You are right.")
