Slides My Crack Ship Across The Table For Your Approval

Ok so I’ve bought a Brandon Sanderson book.

It’s called The Way of Kings and it’s thicker than a text book.

I am so ready!

A Stupid Batfam AU

Jason’s and Bruce’s rocky relationship is actually a pr move to make sure the rest of the batfam doesn’t get attacked by reporters and gcpd.

Essentially Red Hood, while liked by the Crime Alley citizens and other citizens as well, has a pretty bad reputation with a lot of the rest of the city. The GCPD hate him for his overt violence and the head incident. The Media hates him cause he’s what they all feared Batman would become and are constantly creating news stories on him. A lot of the other citizens are just scared of him cause sometimes his temper gets out of control. It’s not the best reputation.

Bruce and Jason have long since talked and settled their differences. Well, it’s more of a “I don’t approve of your methods but I will acknowledge you as a person who wants to help, but I will still dislike the guns. Also I missed you” from Bruce and “I’m not happy with a lot of your decisions but I also understand why you came to those decisions. I’m still mad but I now know that you missed me and I missed you too” from Jason. They’re better than they were originally and honestly that’s all they could hope for. Jason visits the manor more and is having fun being brothers to Dick and Tim.

Here’s the thing though… his reputation as Red Hood may have accidentally spread to the other Bats. A few team ups here and there (and the red bat on his chest) have made everyone assume that Batman is now working with Red Hood, a known crime lord. The media and GCPD were on them like flies on shit. Jim tries to calm down the gcpd with mixed results, but he can’t stop the media from blowing this out of proportion. It’s like the news channels from Dark Knight Returns, but worse.

Jason, who just got his family back, is fucking pissed. Jason is also dramatic as hell. Bruce was willing to just deal with this, but Tim is too new at this to be caught in the crossfire. Bruce was just gonna bench him out of fear until things calm down (he’s dealt with this before) but Jason brings up his plan to Bruce. Bruce isn’t as dramatic as Jason, however he is still absolutely dramatic. He agrees. So begins an epic fight between two ideals that ends two vigilantes at each other’s throats constantly.

Red Hood and Batman fight any time they are together, Red Hood is arrested by Batman on multiple occasions, and Red Hood always escapes leaving terrifying threats spray painted where the bat can see. (Jason and Bruce give each others shit for the pot shots they take and Bruce compliments Jason’s form when he gets a good hit in, Bruce gives Jason a heads up to the easier ways to get out of a police car and Jason ignores him going for the most dramatic ways, Bruce complains that the code Jason uses for his threats are obvious and he can just ask Alfred himself for cookies, why does Bruce have to be the middle man.)

The super hero community doesn’t really know this (cause they can be pretty bad actors at times, says Bruce) tis can cause problems. Superman and Green Arrow capturing Red Hood. Batman had to pull the “he’s Gotham’s problem give him to me,” which led to a hour of arguing to get Jason back. Tim’s friend have Red Hood on their hit list for what Hood did to Robin (Tim is over it but he does use this as a way to get back at his brother when he pisses him off) and Red Hood has to be on the Villain List to sell the act, so every hero ever knows the Red Hood is a villain. This leads to chaos.

There are still rough moments where Bruce and Jason still fight, but it’s better. Jason gets to hang out and play games with Tim. He plans overly dramatic fights with Dick (with full plot cause these two are so extra.) He helps Alfred in the kitchen again talking about books they’ve both read. He and Bruce talk again, they talk about their fears and what they’ve missed. It’s better, and that’s all that really matters.

Genuinely debating whether to give up or not cause I do not want to get between these two. We all know what happens when you choose between these two.

A Superman short story by Scott Kurtz and Karl Kerschl (September 2, 2021)

In 2013, Scott Kurtz tweeted randomly that he had written a short Superman story. He asked if anyone wanted to take a crack at illustrating it. I said yes. Scott sent me his short script and it was great. It captured the simplicity and positivity that I always long for in a Superman story, and it was only five pages long! I started drawing it in my spare time and finally got around to finishing it eight years later. ~ Karl Kerschl

Does anyone know of any psychological horror fanfics about Bruce sort of fight against Batman almost. I have no real good way to describe this.

Maybe like when Bruce was trying to reject becoming Batman again in Dark Knight Returns or like when Bruce try’s to fight for a regular-ish life like in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

I’m in an angsty Bruce mood. Also bonus points if Gotham itself is almost alive.

If these don’t exist I might write it myself, it won’t be good but I gotta practice writing and fanfic is the way to go for that.

Oh he thinks he's so funny

Yes this is what I want. I want to force Hal, Barry, Dinah, and Oliver to babysit the Trinity so badly. Like Bruce and Diana (and Clark who they’re dragging around) is giving them the complete runaround.

He’s gotten into the Grey Ghost by now so he’s learned trick from it, like getting into ventilation systems and such. He’s gone full adventure mode and helps the group evade the adults.

Diana is having the time of her life! Look at all these things, she’s among the stars themselves. Sure she’s a bit worried how she got here but this is the most she’s seen outside of themescyra ever, she wants to explore!

Clark wants his parents, but this boy and girl are dragging him around and they seem nice. He’s a bit scared. He feels like they should ask an adult for help but the boy said that they probably kidnapped them. He also hear’s a voice in his head saying everything is ok which is weird. It’s all just a lot.

Hal’s freaking out cause they’re in the walls?! Barry is still overwhelmed by the fact that his friends/colleagues are freaking kids?! What?! Dinah is finding this hilarious and Oliver is freaking out cause he definitely recognized one of those kids wtf?!

Also Zatanna left almost immediately after her diagnosis cause she’s busy. (Not without taking pictures to tease Bruce with later.) J’onn is also here but he’s mostly just observing cause he’s entertained by all this. He is sending calming messages to Clark for what it’s worth.

Crazy Time Shenanigans

The Trinity get de aged by a rogue wizard and now the rest of the JL have to deal with it. The Trinity doesn’t remember being superheroes. I’m gonna put them all at like 7. They gotta deal with Diana and Bruce just wanting to explore the space station cause this is Diana’s first time away from Themyscira and yeah she’s a bit scared but there’s so many things and she wants to explore. And Bruce is amazed cause holy crap he’s in space!! And Clark is the only one actually scared cause he wants his mom and dad. Basically they act way different than what the JL was expecting.

Zatanna says that the spell should go away on its own eventually so it’s the JL being babysitters till then.

I swear this spawned from exhaustion and a sadness that super-sons is gone forever. Idk again probably needs more building but I think it could be funny.

Oh my god I love it

Bruce about to reveal his identity to the JL

Bruce: “I’m going to do something that may traumatize two of you. I am not sorry.”

Oliver: “oh come on Batman you identity isn’t that special.”

Bruce going full whiny play boy: “Dinah! Ollie is being mean to me!!!”

Oliver: blue screens

Dinah: “YOU BITCH!?”

Belt of holding.

the only magic tool Bruce has ever or will ever willingly use is his belt, he had Zatanna charm it with endless space in the pockets and swore her to secrecy. he refuses to admit this to anyone no matter what absurdity he pulls out of his belt, his kids are convinced something is up with it but they never caught him in the act or have managed to stick their hands in there yet, Bruce will stare people straight in the eye and pull an entire parachute out of a 3 square inch pocket and claim with outmost seriousness it was just folded up really tight,

when Dick takes over the cowl when Bruce is in the time stream and first gets his hands on the belt the sheer vindication overpowers the grief for a solid hour
