I keep thinking about this AU where Bruce just stays in college and becomes a doctor but still gets dragged into the superhero world.
Ok so Bruce is a doctor and is known for never turning down a patient because he’s still Bruce and he just doesn’t want anyone to die. He still lives in Gotham which is still a horrible place. He still tries to help Gotham by donating and creating his Wayne foundation but it’s hard because the inherent corruption in Gotham hinders anything he does this way.
The mob is still super active in Gotham and a lot of Batman’s rogues still happen because a lot of his rogues just happen with or without Batman. Poison Ivy still becomes an ecoterrorist. Penguin still becomes a powerful mob boss. Mad Hatter is still just the worst. Tommy probably still tries to kill Bruce. Just so many of Gotham’s rogues still exist, except there is no hero to stop them in Gotham. People try, but Gotham is never kind to any hero. Bruce is immensely frustrated by all this but he can’t really do anything. Hell sometimes Lesly’s clinic (cause I feel like he would work there) gets harassed and extorted to help heal mob members and crime wars. He hates this a lot but he’s trapped. He doesn’t have Batman training or gear, the best he can do is help where he can.
However there are still other heroes in this world and Superman is literally just a quick flight away. The JL forms without a Batman and they see Gotham as a powder keg. So they try to help when they can and sometimes they get injured. It comes to a head when a Metropolis (Lex Luthor specifically) and some Gotham rogues team up to get rid of the main hero pain in their necks. Lex creates kryptonite bullets and disperses them to the Gotham rogues to use. Lex sees this as a win because he can get Superman killed without doing much and the Gotham rogues see this as a win cause they have a big weapon against Superman.
So Superman gets shot at with kryptonite bullets. They aren’t the best so they hurt him but only one really makes it through and hits his skin. He has to call in back up and the JL comes to help. I can image Wonder Woman or Flash getting there first. They have no idea what to do because holy shit Superman was shot. That shouldn’t happen! But they’ve heard of this doctor in Gotham that’s supposed to be really good. Maybe Oliver or Dinah suggest Bruce idk. So they take Superman to Dr. Bruce Wayne.
Dr. Bruce Wayne is at his manor with Alfred and a young Dick Grayson (because I firmly believe Bruce would still adopt the kids) and then there is a knock on the door. Alfred goes to answer and in barges the Justice League with a bleeding Superman. Bruce is immediately on his feet barking orders to the JL to get equipment he can use and telling Dick and Alfred to stay back. He doesn’t know what’s going on or how freaking Superman is bleeding out in front of him but he doesn’t care. Bruce realizes quickly that the bullet is cause Clark more pain so it can’t be a leave the bullet in there scenario. He gets the bullet out and asks the JL how to help Clark heal. They say sunlight helps but this is Gotham! It’s polluted and over cast all the time, he won’t be able to get enough sunlight. Bruce remembers a sunlamp they have from a science experiment for Dick. He tells Dick to go get it and they pray that it works. It does by some miracle, though it’s no substitute for actual sunlight.
The League is grateful for Bruce and Clark is also immensely grateful cause holy shit he got shot. The Justice League has to now figure out how these bullets got out in the first place and well Bruce can’t help but be nosy so he mentions that a few of his patients, the mob ones, let it slip that the higher ups got into contact with someone in metropolis and Bruce knows Lex hates Superman. So he helps them out a bit too.
And after that any time they need help with some medical issue they go to super doctor Bruce. He’s also still Bruce and can’t ignore his detective brain so he helps them with mysteries too from time to time. Idk I feel like this still needs more fleshing out but I think it could be funny. Or sad. Or both.
On that cowboy shit again (pls click for better resolution probably ♡)
Help my default way of drawing Bruce is the wet cat version of him from fear state and future state.
I’ve tried to draw cleaned up versions of Bruce but they just never look right. What do I do?! Literally if I try to draw Bruce this is what comes to mind.
Hey this is probably one of my favorite examples of this trope thank you so much.
Bruce Wayne meets Clark Kent at the end of a gala, when Clark lands after having to make an emergency rescue.
Cue Bruce running up to Clark(Superman[his best friend]), staring him down, and then stating very clearing that 'this makes so much more sense. what a relief. You probably know who i am then.'
and ah, yeah, reporter clark kent is slightly familiar with bruce wayne, by reputation at least.
And now he suddenly has bruce popping up in his life, along with his child, seemingly certain that they're best friends??? and there's no sign of the brucie he's familiar with from the tabloids, instead there's this very intense serious man who keeps bringing him random inventions to help, including surgical equipment laced with kryptonite in case he needs stitches? How is he going to explain this to batman.
Meanwhile Batman is the most at ease he's been in forever, of course superman is just like that if he was raised by the kent's. and of course superman would've already known his identity even if he's too polite to bring it up.
Every once in a while, when I’m feeling really sad, I go read a fanfic that just destroys me. Hurt no comfort, frickin main character death, just anything that will have me bawling my eyes out.
I can only assume this is what the Ancient Greeks felt when they would watch 5 tragedies in a row. I need that catharsis.
This is everything I want and more.
Bruce: Batman will be a cryptid. An urban legend, designed to strike fear in the hearts of criminals.
Bumper stickers in Gotham City:
"Batman ate my entire ass at a Big Belly Burger"
"Half man. Half bat. All friend."
"Batman is real. We made out. He is a gentle and caring lover."
Bruce: ... Alfred, I think I made a mistake.
The internet is like if someone stuck a note on a board and then people will write down what they think the note says and also stick it to the same board.
Then as time goes on the notes cover the board and people are still adding to it. Eventually the original meaning of the note is lost and oversimplified but the original note is still there.
All you have to do is look for it and then you’d get what the note actually means but no one ever does.
I have to say, the hero with the biggest wake-up call due to having kids/sidekicks has to be the Flash. All those times he just jumped into action before the team, because he'd thought his own plan out before them? He must be kicking himself, finally getting their irritation as he holds back his own speedsters by the collar and tells them to just wait a damn minute.
