Lucius Fox must be having SUCH a bad time if he knows Bruce Wayne’s secret identity because now he has to sit through board meetings next to a man who he knows broke sixteen bones between two henchmen last night because they didn’t give Batman the hideout address fast enough but is somehow patient and self-controlled enough to let Lisa from WE Accounting rip into him without even twitching.

Lucius: Just sent you the contract. I need you to sign it again.

Bruce: Didn't I already sign it?

Lucius: Yes. You signed it "I'm Batman." We've been over this. You cannot sign documents as "Batman," "The Dark Knight," or "Protector of Gotham." Only your full legal name will suffice.

Bruce: Show me a shred of legal evidence proving I'm not Batman.

Lucius: Are we seriously having this conversation again?

This idea just hit me after doomscrolling the “danny fenton is thomas wayne reincarnated” tag, plus those posts where he’s just straight-up an AU Thomas Wayne. and I was like… wait. this could actually work.

what if Amity Park is basically an alternate Gotham from Thomas Wayne’s era. same people, different universe and era . Thomas doesn’t get powers, Danny does. that + the HUGE difference in upbringing: Gotham elite vs. whatever category the Fentons fall into (middle-class? working parents? mad scientist vibes? debatable).

ANYWAY—

universe collapse happens. portals start opening between Amity and Gotham.

picture this: Lucius Fox, minding his business, having a perfectly nice afternoon,

and then—

a teenager drops into his living room.

the kid looks EXACTLY like him in his youth

EXACTLY.

same face, same eyes, same everything—except:

he’s wearing aggressively 2000s clothes

he’s holding some kind of half-broken tech gadget

and he looks like he just got shoved through reality without consent

imagine how insane that is already, but then the kid starts asking where he is, says he’s from Amity Park (a town that Lucius’s computer confirms does NOT exist), and introduces himself as Tucker Foley.

logically? obviously this must be the long-lost son of some woman Lucius doesn’t remember. obviously. definitely not a multiverse thing. definitely not an alternate version of himself.

and THEN—

another portal opens. a young Thomas Wayne shows up, grabs his friend, drags him back through the portal. no explanations. none. just gone.

Lucius Fox is about to make several phone calls

Tim, doomscrolling on his Twitter and reposting all the memes about him surviving being Kirk-ed before the Kirk-ed himself got Kirk-ed: ha ha, that’s hilarious

Tim, waking up in the middle of his sleep with a cold sweat: that was my offical account…

Tim, thinking about how much of a HR and public image nightmare this is going to be and how Tam and Lucius are tear him a new one and Bruce will probably give him those sad dad eyebrows or the scary bat-glare because Tim’s technically celebrating murder: oh no…

Tim, not even two minutes later: eh, he shoud’na died from something so easy to survive then.

Adam, Wayne Enterprises PA: Mr Wayne, I'm going on a coffee run, can I get you anything?

Bruce: That would be great. But here, let me get this one.

Lucius Fox: Actually Mr Wayne, there's a coffee fund already-

Bruce, rooting in his pocket: *drops a batarang onto the floor*

Lucius:

Adam:

Cheryl from Billing:

Paul from Acquisitions:

Bruce:

Lucius : Are you kidding me?

Bruce:

Lucius: I told you to break it off with Batman, Mr Wayne. It isn't healthy.

Bruce, desperate for a way out: But we're making it work this time, Lucius. He's promised to try harder.

Lucius: He said that the last time, now, didn't he? Do what you wish, Mr Wayne but don't come crying to me when he breaks your heart again.

Man, TimKon has to have craziest in-laws. Imagine what headache the After marriage dinners get.

Duke: hey um… can you pass the salt *eyeing Lex Luthor*

Lex: *takes the salt but moves it away from Duke*

Selina: God why are you even in here?!

Lex: Because I am Conner’s BIOLOGICAL father unlike you, you stealing broad—

Lois: *tiredly sighs* Oh my God, here we go again…

Bruce: Blood relation means nothing, Lex.

Dick: to quote Maya Angelou: "Family isn’t always blood, it’s the people in your life who want you in theirs”

*Lex proceeds to stand up and points at the person at the end of the table*

Kate: now, this is gonna be interesting

Clark: Lex can you sit down?

Lex: for all my Intellect and prowess what I don’t understand is…WHY ARE THEY HERE!! *points at the Al Ghuls*

Talia: quit embarrassing yourself, Luthor. Timothy is my beloved’s son and brother to two of my sons—

Selina: *looks at Talia tiredly* would you please move on?

Talia: No! *slams the table* you are only his Girlfriend. While I am the Mother of his sons.

Selina: No sane mother trains her children to be weapons of war *pulls out her nails*

Talia: you haven’t seen this mother. *pulls out a sword*

Damian: Mothers, can you all stop? It’s embarrassing.

Minkhoa: as far as I’m concerned, I’m the spouse.

Bruce: Please I beg of you don’t do this Minkhoa

Jim whispers to Barbara: is it always like this?

Barbara whispers back: only during holidays

Jim: remind me not to attend during it

Stephanie: I could get why Talia is here but why is he here *sideeyes Ra’s Al Ghul* Didn’t you steal Tim’s spleen?

Ra’s: I am Talia’s father which makes me the detective’s father-in-law, by extension Timothy’s Grandfather.

*Alfred audibly cocks his shotgun under the table*

Jason: Crazy mental gymnastics there, geezer.

Ra’s: It is a shame that the detective’s choice to spend eternity is with that abomination…

Lex: you take that back, he’s genetically perfect! He’s half of my crush I meant rival and half of me! Me! you ancient terroris—

*a chorus of outrage erupts*

Jon: WOAH WOAH!

Dick: HEY!!

Luke: neglecting the part where Lex just admitted to—

*cuts short by Lucius Fox*

Lucius whispers: I strongly advise, you don’t add fuel to whatever this is, Luke.

Minkhoa: I mean he’s not wrong…

Tim leans on Conner: Welp, that checks my ‘racism at the table’ bingo card

Jean Paul: You are all sinners! I condemn this unholy matrimony! No man can marry a man much less born out of unnatural means!

Conner: There goes the homophobia one *checks the bingo card*

If you've ever wondered how Bruce Wayne manages to change into costume or grab more gear on the go without going to the Batcave again, one of the explanations canon offers is that there are about 250 cache boxes scattered around Gotham's rooftops.

Batman: The Brave and The Bold Vol.2 #10 Part 1

The idea comes after Lucius Fox is brought into the fold, and Bruce and Lucius begin coordinating these so-called "Bat-caches": containing a suit, gadgets, and sometimes even make-up for disguises.

This is how I think the different Batfamily supporting cast would react to Batlantern, or just Hal, in general, when Bruce introduces him as his boyfriend

Based on those posts by I forgot who hshshshs I'm writing this on the road

Alfred: *stares*

this man does not like Hal

looked at his credit score and everything, and was simply not impressed

was only mildly placated by the fact that Hal knows how to cook and clean and take care of kids and is decidedly well-intentioned

but still is severely unimpressed; thinks Bruce can do better

Hal, unfortunately, also dislikes Alfred... gets iffy with the way he treats Bruce sometimes, but respects him ultimately... barely...

Hal has been daring Alfred to do something about it, but unfortunately everyone in the family and the League do not want Alfred to ruin this for either of them

Hal: "Your son calls me daddy too-" [dodges a stone frying pan]

Leslie: "...yeah no, you're definitely Thomas' son /neg"

Bruce introduces Leslie to his coconut-scented flyboy with fluffy brown hair and eyes like a baby cow, who says dumb idealist shit in a charming Hollywood voice, smiles all the damn time even while pissed off and picks fights with things/people that shouldn't be fought

and she just sighs and opens the damn vodka bottle

"Yeah no, I went through this already with your dad. I'm not doing this again.... sober"

"Just to be safe because your man is an alien-tech freak, do not wake me up at 2AM over a pregnancy scare. My natal-related working hours are between 8 to 8 for you Waynes"

"Before I drew this boundary, I ended up learning about you being a bun in the oven"

she warms up to Hal enough but seeing Bruce rolling over and making moon eyes at Hal makes her sick with nostalgia

At least Bruce is happy

Lucius: "So this is the mf who's been flying my ships"

Lucius has his ear on the ground about all JL and Batclan operations, so he knows about the resident pilot who commands all the aircrafts he designs for the JL and runs an isolated aircraft island on the JL's behalf

when I tell you that man is IN LOVE with meeting another engineer

Tim, Bruce, and Barbara are getting kicked out of the workshop, he's replacing them with someone who has a degree in aeronautics engineering specifically

Lucius is handing Hal keys to all the WE RND specs on future aircraft projects and swears up and down that he's having Ferris test it with Hal specifically on the docket

Hal becomes a frequent in WE, the rnd interns love him

Kate: "Ain't no fucking way"

girl is doubled over wheezing and laughing when she learns about it

was told on facetime with Bruce, Renee is holding the phone while Kate is on the ground crying-laughing about it

"THIS IS THE THIRD TIME YOU FELL FOR THE SAME PERSON IN A DIFFERENT FONT"

"THIS IS THE THIRD PSYCHOPATHIC BRUNET, BRUCE. TALIA, KHOA.... FUCK THERE WAS HARVEY TOO HAHAHAHAAHAH"

"Did Aunt Leslie say you- Yeah? She made fun of you? HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH"

Anyways cut to the meeting of the families, Kate is actually cornering Hal in a corner and speaking in military lingo about how she's a Bat that can and will fuck him up

Hal is enjoying it and returning the energy. She is impressed. She's like a nicer Alfred in his eyes, who is down to curse and gag like a sailor

Hal and Kate end up like bros actually

Gordon: "Please don't do this to me"

saw the Green Lantern and Batman kissing at some random rooftop and was horrified, initially

not for homophobic reasons but because "Please Do Not tell me that we are consorting with alien police now. I can't even deal with the paperwork of workinging with human police"

is very protective of Batman, raised this little runt from wanna-be vigilante to living legend

"I can't threaten him as Green Lantern but I can threaten him plenty as a man"

Hal respects him; doesn't interact with him much, but genuinely does respect him
