By the light of a single candle, my quarters become a steeple. I kneel, after many arduous hours of duty, and polish my blade. This is my prayer. As my fingers caress the cold, sleek metal, I am unable to stop myself from thinking, instead, of your skin. I tremble at the thought—to touch you, my prince, my God… But these hands have done terrible things, and I must not sully you with them. It is my duty to bleed so you do not have to, my lord. I am dirty so that you may remain clean. I dare not wish to know your touch, for I am not worthy of such grace and gentleness.

Instead, I will polish this blade—that which has killed for you—and I will sit by this candlelight, and I will whisper your name.

This is my prayer. My communion.

Batman becomes Deified

Based on This Post about Batman being accidentally turned into a God by the people of Gotham’s belief

So, if this was the case, I feel like some of his fellow godly teammates would notice and/or comment on it. But since they assume he already knows, they never really directly state that Batman is a God.

Diana would just say something like “It is a good idea for Batman to take care of the hostages on this mission, all things considered”, and Batman thinks it’s just a dig at his so called “adoption addiction” sinc emost of the hostages are kids.

Or Captain Marvel says “It’s an honor to meet you Mr Batman sir! Never really get to meet other people like me!” and Batman thinks it’s because he’s the only Hero from Faucett City, and he’s excited to meet another Hero

Or even Constantine making jokes like, “Would you let me off the hook if I sold you my soul” and Batman thinks it’s a joke but Constantine is being entirely serious about this, since Batman is a God and he could definitely take a persons soul.

And also, the day he joins the League the amount of people who think he’s a God skyrockets. There’s no way a normal guy would be on the same team with the likes of Wonder Woman and Superman without being a God himself. That point is proven even further when Captain Marvel, another God, joins the team.

Then one day, Clockwork drops in and tells Batman that he wants him to take care of Danny, because he needs somebody who can take care of both of his sides. Since Batman used to be a Human, he would be able to relate to Danny in that regard.

And Batman is just like “What the hell do you mean ‘Used to be Human’, what happened to me!?”

And after he finds out that he is a Minor God of Protection and Children, his full powers come to light.

He rushes to the League, and tells them that he has somehow attained Godhood. And Diana  and Shazam are confused, saying “What, did you not know? You’ve been a Minor God since I met you”

And Constantine is laughing his ass off that Batman legitimately did not know he was a God.

And the chaos that would ensue from that would be hilarious.

I want to worship someone. To treat them like my personal God. To serve obediently and do their bidding. To take rapturous joy in their approval and to be absolved of my sins in their blessing. To endure whatever punishments they see fit to mete out because I know they are infinitely wiser than me. To be utterly, hopelessly devoted as their loyal pet.

We all got weird religious trauma that manifests itself through our sexuality right??

That’s not just a me thing.

Baptism...

Kneel obediently before the font and accept the final sacrament. Look up to me in all my awesome and terrible darkness as I lord over you. Feel my strong hand on your head as my fingers lace through your hair, stroking you gently before you are pushed into the font. The holy water rushes into your eyes, nose, mouth, and ears as a soundless scream escapes you. The black water twists its way, tentacle-like into all your holes as the bottomless abyss rushes up towards you with the rushing of a mighty river pounding in your ears. What was once a font now felt like a sea, and what was once your hair now feels like a jacket of lead. My hand tears at you as you struggle, gripping you tighter as all your animal instincts push you to try and escape. A human cannot accept the sacrament. Your humanity must be killed. You must surrender and become an object to me. Only then can you be baptized. When you arise there is only me. I am your air, I am your salvation. Breath deep and choke on my presence.
