Okay who cares if someone’s clingy???? They fucking love and adore you??? You don’t like being adored? Loser

[weirdheadcanons]

Say this to anyone who ended up 'encouraging' a Nice Guy.

Like, sorry, buddy, I've got absolutely no interest in standing on the pedestal for you, and I need my personal space. If you actually knew how adults handle love, you would understand why your adoration creeps people out.

“Why are you bullying Hal Jordan so much in this fic?” Because it’s funny. Because it’s funny and he’s not a real person.

[weirdheadcanons]

Also Hal 100% knows what is going on. The guy has worked with these two for years, he knows how this works.

This way he gives Clark an out AND gets to make Bats look petty in front of the others. That's definitely worth being the target

[frownyalfred]

Fic idea: Batman is getting a formal reprimand from the Justice League for something ridiculous and every single active duty Bat (and some non active duty) show up to the Watchtower for the “hearing” the League insists on having.

(imagine them running through the “incident” and someone coughs bullshit every time Clark speaks, Alfred is so obviously perched defensively near Bruce and furious, Red Hood somehow showed up? Dick is in full gaslight gatekeep girlboss mode even though Bruce wishes he Would Not, Damian is stuck in the elevator trying to get Batcow up to “witness this miscarriage of justice” and Cass keeps flashing increasingly concerning hand signs at Bruce up on the “stand” and every time someone mentions the complainant - Booster Gold - Tim says “who?” just loud enough for the entire room to hear)

(the “hearing” is over just as Damian gets Batcow in and magically Batman never receives his reprimand. because his kids are Awful. not Alfred though. never Alfred)

[weirdheadcanons]

The same set-up, except with the Lanterns.

I think the target should be Kyle, because he fulfills both the requirement of 'definitely going to end up with some bullshit reprimand because he did something that shouldn't have worked but did and freaked Batman out' and the requirement of 'radiates wet kitten energy that makes everyone want to wrap him in a blanket'

Bruce trying desperately to make the case and trying to make the hearing look somewhat professional while Hal is making tiny construct jets buzz him every time he tries to talk.

Guy loudly chewing bubblegum (which bubble has somehow become a construct, the other Lanterns are not sure how either) and booing whenever someone is trying to make a point.

Jessica showing up with a hand crafted sign board detailing in a flowchart exactly why this charge is BS - she's also added stick figure sketches of the event, with a stick figure Batman nearly pulling off his cowl in frustration.

Simon with the recipes detailing every time one of the other Leaguers or one of the Bats broke the same regulation Bruce is trying to charge Kyle with (it is the Bats, the Lawful Good thing is just the selling point, they're all Chaos Gremlins, and yes, I'm counting Bruce)

Stewart trying to look professional and above the chaos his team is creating, but ready with a sixty seven page defense of the incident to be used if and when Bruce finally manages to present his case.

i stepped on the scale today and it said “bat”

it took me a few seconds to realize it meant the battery was out, but before i realized that i just said “i am not a bat” out loud

[weirdheadcanons]

[dirbenaffleck]

i think the marvel vs dc conversation is bad because they're very different animals and i think its very obvious in how they approach the avengers and the justice league, even if you compare it between dceu and mcu, because at the end of the day superheroes in marvel seem to be allied with the governemtn regardless of their cause, like shield and avengers seem to be deeply connected in both fucntion and system because they're lead by a military guy and then the league in itself is funny because literally no one gets paid, they consider it volunteer work, that they operate outside of the planet so they would not be beholden to one state

[frownyalfred]

the Avengers: you don't understand, we HAVE to work with the government. to protect people.

the JL, in their satellite floating just outside of Earth's jurisdiction: lmao ok

[weirdheadcanons]

Another factor would be the level of power difference. Governments are (well, usually, supposed to be) pragmatic about who they pick a fight with.

The Avengers have had a few heavyhitters depending on the run, but on the whole, the power level is considerably lower than justice league - on the average. The especially powerful ones like the omega level mutants only turn up in later years.

In the beginning of the appearance of superpowers in Marvel, they are low enough in power that they can be countered by, say, a good army - costly, disastrous, but there is the possibility of bringing them down without too much damage if it comes to that. They can be controlled, at least hypothetically.

Justice League on the other hand, or Justice Society, the power levels are so high that to have even one of them turn against your country and you having only conventional weapons...that's not going to end well. At all. Most of them can take on a regular army and win no diff.

And multiple of them have their own diplomatic standing you don't want to tamper with. Diana is the princess of an entire nation. Aquaman is the king of yet another. Green Lantern is member of an intergalactic force that has the authority to operate anywhere in the galaxy due to agreements formed before earth had sentient life.

No government would want to kick that hornet's nest.

Sure, they will quietly make contingency plans, but on the surface they would be very willing and eager to keep on the good side of these guys.

[januariat]

saw a tweet that made me consider the fact that there must be thousands of gothamites every night who ask their SOs to roleplay as batman, in any position. and clark would just have to overhear it

[lanternsjordan]

oh you are going to LOVE what i'm about to show you!!

from batman, legends of the dark knight #168

so there's actually a story from 2003 that starts off with batman falling several stories and onto the concrete– and on the way down he hits his head, giving him amnesia.

the entire issue is narrated by batman himself– and it's clear that although he doesn't remember anything prior to falling, he does remember batman, although he at first refers to himself in third person rather that remembering that he himself is batman, and he even questions why he doesn't use guns– he also doesn't remember the batmobile or the batcave. throughout the entire issue he attempts to fight crime despite his injuries and the fact that he doesn't remember how to actually fight.

and at the very end of the story, it's revealed that the batman we've been reading about isn't actually bruce wayne– he's a man named kyle nash, who fell several stories while roleplaying as batman with his wife during sex, and then believed himself to be the real batman when he woke up. when he meets the batman, bruce gives him a piece of advice: "the next time you want to spice up your married life, dress like superman."

in conclusion: does clark hear people roleplay as batman? maybe, maybe not– but since it's canon that clark has a tendency to listen in on bruce from far away (even if it's usually just his heartbeat) there is no doubt in my mind that clark probably heard this interaction from metropolis. LMFAO

[weirdheadcanons]

Now I am picturing some kind of roleplayer convention the team has to infiltrate...

Barry and Hal goes as a couple - roleplaying Batman and Superman.

The going undercover thing was planned. Who they were going undercover as was not planned, with Bruce only giving them a 'don't go dressed as yourselves'. He is rapidly rethinking all of it.

[vintagerobin]

There does seem to be a lack of understanding of what actually like... happened in the transfusion in Bloodborne. Dick didn't just give half his blood supply to Bruce, if that was the case they wouldn't have been talking about him being exposed to the virus and would instead be talking about how that's losing too much blood. What he did was circulate both of their blood between them, so that for a minute there they were essentially just one giant circulatory system between two bodies.

And this is why if Dick is type O-, Bruce would also have to be O-. While any type can receive O-, O- can only receive O-. If Bruce was any type other than O-, receiving Bruce's blood could just as easily have killed Dick.

[frownyalfred]

^^^^^ my feelings exactly about this

[weirdheadcanons]

I am going to try and do a Fanedit comic of Bloodborne with Dan Mora's Bruce.

The character figures - I can draw, but not well enough fast enough - are cut-and-pasted from the comics. Background mine, with krita

Going to try and do it from Bruce POV. These are the first four panels. Anyone interested?

Can't really find many images of Dan Mora's Nightwing, though - afraid I will have to take him from the Tom Taylor Nightwing run - the stories were disappointing, but Dick looked soooo pretty in those.

[frownyalfred]

you know those fights in sports where a player is getting an attitude with the ref and starts stepping up like they're about to start swinging and their coach shitting bricks runs up and yanks them away in a headlock before they fight the ref?

I like to imagine that's how the Batkids are with their various teams/teammates and someone tries to start shit with Batman when he's giving orders. yes you are being put in the tightest headlock of your life and dragged bodily away and yes it is better than the alternative.

[dcfansstuff]

There is a reason you only see people fighting him when they’re clinically insane drugged or are being mind controlled. And unless he loves or cares about you and you aren’t the fucking joker who just won’t die cause of dc you ain’t coming out in one piece.

And he won’t even lay a finger on you

[weirdheadcanons]

The one exception to this is Green Lantern - any Green Lantern. Even the ones who have worked with him for decades or just met him ten minutes ago. That is practically reflex.

[frownyalfred]

things that are not easily separated: a Green Lantern and their Ring

things that are unfortunately easily separated: a Green Lantern and the extremity their Ring is attached to

[weirdheadcanons]

I don't know if this is still canon, but in Silver Age at least Hal could control the ring even if it is off his finger if it is within a certain radius. He just has to concentrate much harder to make it work.

Imagine the potential of that scene... Hal (because he bleeds so pretty, sorry Hal) having his hand torn off...and using his last moments to make the ring act for him one last time...

CHAPTER 2: FANCOMIC

IN THE WATCHES OF THE NIGHT

[weirdheadcanons]

CHAPTER I

FANCOMIC - IN THE WATCHES OF THE NIGHT

There are some constants even in the chaotic lives of World's Finest heroes. The Watchtower is their safe haven. The Phantom Stranger stays out of most people's business and everyone's company.

With both constants proven false, and one of their best in peril, the League is led into unfamiliar territory.

Fan-Edit. Character figures generally cut-and-pasted from silver age comics.

I intend to post three panels per day

Comments very welcome and appreciated :)

@frownyalfred @januariat you guys might like this one :)

"the batkids all lay on Bruce he's the best pillow for--" no, lying on that man is like trying to sleep on a metal locker. he's down to 9% bodyfat and every single muscle is rock hard and impossible to compress. and if you do try to muscle it out (heh) you're greeted by the feeling of those muscles twitching every 20 or so seconds because if Bruce isn't moving, his body sure is reminding him to. even when he's asleep. even if he's only been sitting down for ten minutes. his muscle spasms have muscle spasms and you're not going to get your head anywhere near his chest before he pec-slams you off the couch because he breathed in a little too deeply.
