hi all! the sign-up sheet for the batcat secret fic exchange is live! we decided to not go with a big bang, because too few artists expressed interest, but i hope folks are still excited to write something!

please complete the form at your best convenience, and you'll hear back from me in mid-april with your assigned prompt.

note: the only overarching guidelines are that the fic should be at least 3k in length, and is due on June 1st, so you'll have about 6 weeks to write it. you won't know who you are writing for until the end, when the prompt requests and fics are revealed. have fun! 💕

“[N]ot only does the music shift to a sultrier series of notes, courtesy of Giacchino’s composition, but Reeves makes the point to let his camera push in slowly on these two briefly trapped together in this shared embrace as their chests rise and fall, as twin respirations turn slower and slower and bodies start to become less primed to continue the fight. Although their clutching of one another starts from a place of necessity and vigilance, it morphs into them openly sensing one another for the first time, learning who the other one is in a span that seems to stretch on for much longer than it actually is—almost existing outside of time itself. Each half of this pair knows how to wear a different face in public, donning fake wigs or expensive suits in order to blend in less conspicuously, but it’s incredibly fitting that the Bat and the Cat manage to have their first, truest encounter with one another when they’re wrapped up together in the darkness”

in the next batman movie selina is back in town to con bruce wayne which he knows but he missed her so much and obviously he can afford it so he just lets her

[battinsonswife]

“look at me.”

[jazon-todd]

right so at the end when Selina and Bruce keep switching who’s in front when riding their motorcycles, that shit was so romantic

[alliecathayes]

somebody tell me why him holding his hand over her mouth three seconds after meeting her to keep quiet from the police and watching their breathing even out and match each other - the hold that bruce had on her and how it softened - the flutter of Selina's eyelashes for a moment even through the tenseness

and when the guy was gone and they broke about like they'd been singed because something's DIFFERENT you know and !!!! i FEEL THINGS

I want to talk about the scene where Bruce stops Selina from killing Falcone.

Selina has just listened to her friend's dying screams, again. Her father tried to kill her and admitted to killing her mother. She is raw and suffering in a way few people could understand, but Bruce does.

On the rooftop with Kenzie, he knocks the gun out of her hand. He could easily do the same here, but he realizes that ultimately, it's her choice and not his to take away. He is able to look past his rigid principles and empathize with her, to love her. He speaks to her as Bruce.

"You don't have to pay with him."

There is a dark knot of fear and guilt that has been with Bruce since he was a child. He carries his parents' death on his shoulders as if he pulled the trigger. For two years he has been feeding this knot through uncompromising violence, through an endless night of vengeance. He is paying over and over again.

It isn't working.

"You've paid enough."

Empathy is a powerful and beautiful thing. Through his empathy for Selina, Bruce has to also look his pain in the face. To speak those words to her, he has to acknowledge in the deep dark place within himself that he, too, has paid enough.

He holds the gun with her. He chooses to trust her. He chooses to love her and let her see it. Selina has slipped through the iron walls surrounding Bruce's heart, and in this moment, he knocks them all the way down to reach her.

If Selina and Bruce don't meet again in a fancy ass event and she decides to flirt with the hot mysterious and rich Mr. Wayne and Bruce is just shaking in the knees longing for this woman then they have a James Bond, Dark Knight-esque slow dancing scene while they just stare into each other's eyes and exchange witty quips then what's the fucking point

ok but the way that Bruce looks so devastated when he thinks it’s Selina getting out of the car at the funeral and going in with Falcone and how he basically runs after them to catch up to her (even tho, like, if it was her, she wouldn’t even know who he was beyond Bruce Wayne, because she doesn’t know he’s Batman) and when the woman turns around and it isn’t her and he can barely contain his relief before sheer embarrassment sets in, what kind of rom com shit is this?!!!😭

I noticed the coolest thing!!

Selina uses the pet names “honey” and “baby” throughout the movie.

When she talks to Penguin and Gil, the DA, she calls them “honey.” She’s emotionally closed off and undercover, so she doesn’t put her heart into flirting, which makes sense. She uses “honey” to gain info from people; she doesn’t mean anything by that name. The second time she bumps into Batman (when she’s burglarizing the mayor’s house), she even says, “listen honey, I didn’t kill nobody!” She doesn’t trust Batman yet; she doesn’t know if he has the same motivations as her.

But when she rides home in the taxi and phones Annika, she calls her friend “baby.” “I’m coming home, baby.” “We can leave the city tonight, baby.” Annika is her close friend, so it makes sense why she uses that sweet pet name. Selina deeply cares about Anni, and you can tell because baby is genuine compared to honey. 

Later on, when Selina talks to Batman by the signal and asks who he is under the mask, she calls him “baby,” and they share a kiss. Selina opened herself up to working with him now, and she’s willing to call him a genuine pet name because she genuinely kinda likes him. 

When things go south, and she asks Batman to help her kill the shady cop, and he refuses, Selina is hurt. She thought he was on her side, but he wasn’t. She puts her walls up again and closes him off. “Don’t worry, honey. I got 9 of ‘em.”

And finally, during the big fight scene in the Garden, she decides to stay and save Batman’s life. He’s hurt, and she consoles him by saying, “it’s ok, baby. It’s over now.”

Basically, you can see the filmmakers/Zoë Kravitz put SO MUCH care and love into every detail of Selina’s character. Selina is usually so closed off and elusive, but you can tell how much she cares about someone by the pet name she uses for them! It’s a fascinating aspect of her character! 

AND it’s helpful for fanfic writers: Selina is only genuine when she calls someone “baby!” “Honey” is only uses when she’s angry or undercover!

wishlist for the sequel includes bruce/selina scenes because the bruce/selina dynamic is totally different from the batman/selina dynamic and i think that it would be really interesting to see with these versions of the characters

[stonedvamp]

i know if batcat dated selina would have to remind him to drink water. idk why i just have a very vivid vision of battinson about to leave and then selina’s like “AH AH AH!” and makes him take a water bottle with him.

[saga-anderson-deactivated202402]

we literally got to see batman stop dead in his tracks at the sight of selina, got to see him watch selina over and over and over on a recording—unable to stop thinking about her, got to see him get so jealous that she might have been at a public event with falcone that he ran up on the number one crime boss in the city, they saw themselves reflected in one another on that rooftop when they kissed, he stopped her from killing falcone and told her she paid enough and that she didn’t need to pay anymore, he injected adrenaline directly into his body to save her life! literally tell me when ANY OTHER SHIP HAS EVER!

[pattinsonsupremacy]

bruce in the batcave now, replaying those short recordings of selina on loop, wiping his tears, alfred watching everything through the keyhole, shedding a tear also

[mestruazioni]

guillermo really said "I'm not only his bodyguard, I'm also his heart guard" and I'm supposed to be normal about it
