Yes I know that Batfleck's Dick Grayson canonically was the one to die, yes I know that the Titans TV show already has its own iteration of Bruce Wayne...
But if we suspended all of that for a second can we mayhaps consider Titans Dick in the same universe as Snyder's Batman because I think I'm getting somewhere-
"Why are you here, Bruce?" He asks, turning away and finally sitting down in an opposing chair. "What made you think I needed this pointed out to me?"
"It's affecting team dynamics." Clark actually scoffs at that.
"Team dynamics."
"Yes. As surprising as it may seem, a team struggles to function when one of its core components is not performing well." Bruce supposes he should've worded that better and cut down on the sarcasm when he was the one that was invited into Clark's home, but there's a reason that him and Clark argue so frequently in the League. They aren't particularly good at seeing eye to eye.
[ ... ]
"I'll find a way to fix it." Resolute, sure of himself. He can't give back to Clark in the weight of his own secrets, but he's the League tactician, he can figure out a solution. The alien's eyes peer up and meet his own, looking almost cloudy in their hopelessness.
"Unless billionaire Bruce Wayne can install an extra sun in the Earth's atmosphere, I don't think I'll be getting better anytime soon." The attempt at humour seems to at least alleviate Clark's mood, but it sours Bruce's. He finishes his coffee, getting up wordlessly as Clark watches him, a distant worry in his eyes. Before Bruce leaves, he places a hand on Clark's shoulder, not much differently to how they sometimes do in battle, and squeezes reassuringly.
"I'll figure something out, Kent." He leaves quickly after that, groaning when he walks out of the apartment block and finds he has to wait out in the freezing weather for Alfred.

I don't really post fics online, and I never actually finished this one, but I kind of liked Bruce and Clark's interaction in these passages, so I thought I'd do a quick share!
Context , if any is wanted : Clark is experiencing power fluctuation issues which are making him angry. Bruce and Clark know each other's identities but don't get along that well yet.
I find writing superbat to be difficult because the way I write them always feels...off? I feel like I always go OOC in some way. I also, like I said, never post any of my stuff online, so constructive criticism is appreciated for both my writing and the superbat-ness..
Me and my friend were chatting today and I came up with a crack ship because we were talking about artfight and the seafoam and stardust theme that was around last year...
Flins x Baizhu
The working ship name is sleeping pill. Sleeping. Pill.
We ride at dawn. You're either with this or against this.
(this friend is @chalk-08 ... they beat me to this post by a second but I came up with the name...)
Teen Bruce Wayne comes out as bisexual at a time where gay rights are still murky and bisexuality is something nobody famous has talked about. He's practically a pioneer for the bi movement, with how well known he is as a public figure. The LGBTQ+ community are raving at their win. Bruce has to deal with extremely annoying interviews that range from odd misconceptions to outright homophobic and biphobic rhetoric, but he handles them surprisingly well.
Meanwhile, teen Clark Kent is living in an extremely homophobic Kansas in small town Smallville. To say he feels alienated about his feelings towards both women and men is an understatement. That's until he sees billionaire Bruce Wayne on his TV, talking about his experience with bisexuality, discussing it with care and treating it as such a normality despite what he's being asked, and it suddenly all clicks for Clark. Bruce Wayne becomes an icon he both admires but also a literal bisexual awakening, both because he placed that word in Clark's vocabulary and also because...he's just really hot.
Years later Clark and Bruce meet each other as adults, when Clark gets the opportunity to interview the very man he'd been watching answering questions on TV since he was a confused teenager.
(Capes or no capes is up to you, I think they could both apply)
(Side note rather than being a pompous playboy I think Bruce in this should be a bit less ridiculous and more subdued, like he acts in for example BTAS. I like picturing him speaking in interviews in that particularly well articulate and slow way you see a lot of celebs and regular people talking like in old interviews)
(Inspired by some disrespectful Lady Gaga interviews I've seen because interviewers used to get away with the craziest topics like it's nothing)
I've seen quite a few superbat fanfics and prompts about Clark and Bruce going to an alternate universe and seeing the alternate Bruce and alternate Clark there married and living happily and mutual pining ensues
But can you guys picture them going to an alternate universe with an evil Clark and Bruce who are together? Can you imagine how horrific it would be coming across the worst version of yourself and seeing how much better they have it than you? They'd both hate those evil versions so much, and yet be so jealous of what they have, and they'd probably both be ashamed that they wish they could have that relationship because how could they be envying evil versions of themselves and–
(Bonus points if evil Clark and Bruce have genuinely the most healthy, wholesome relationship ever, even if they're both mass murderers or something)
I've heard people talk about experiences that made them realise they're queer, or looking back on them makes it clear they were queer...
As a kid I thought that people only experience "true love" (aka romantic attraction, in my child brain) after they turn 13 years old because they become a teenager and ✨ hormones ✨
I believed that anyone who was in a relationship before 13 was just faking their attraction for attention...
Then one night I ask my friends if they've ever kissed someone during truth or dare (my child brain thought kissing was equivalent to love, of course) and when I found out they had my mind was burned down and rearranged
Since we've got batfleck and cavillsupes(?), and the new Superman movie brought us battinson with corensupes, I think we should just start going crazy with it and pairing up random Batmen and Supermen together for the fun of the possible dynamics. I've already seen Bale's Batman with Corenswet's Superman. Can you picture someone like Cavill's depressed ahhh Clark Kent meeting the silly Clooney Bruce Wayne from Batman & Robin or something?
First time posting on Tumblr but my god, Superman was SUPER. Man Of Steel prioritised showing Superman as this god-like figure, but Gunn understood that the character is, at his core, defined by just how human he is. Clark Kent you will always be the best.
(Also Lex Luthor being so filled with pure hatred and unfiltered rage he CRIED at the very sight of Superman's victory)
Can't wait to see more of the DCU, remember to be kind cause it's punk rock.
