Tbh That’s Not Too Dissimilar To How The Golden/silver Age Comics Worked. Clark Was Originally Superboy

I have a ffxiv jar. Any time I start talking to much about ffxiv I must a quarter in my discord chat and then I’m gonna add it all up by the end of summer. I will commit to this bit.

“XIV players are, as a genus, incapable of shutting the fuck up about it.”

— me, after yelling about XIV for the fifth time in a friend’s DMs

I respect Dick’s belief in Bruce so much, but that confidence is somewhat subverted when Bruce’s plan is this:

This was literally just a panel before. THIS IS HIS PLAN! His plan is his belief in Clark!!

Also the “remember the sound of my voice” made me laugh so hard!

Also Clark is hallucinating Bruce as Lex Luthor, just needed you to know this.

Also those other people are the Doom Patrol and I love them!!!

So I’m playing Fallout New Vegas for the first time and found out I can be a bisexual cowboy in post apocalyptic Nevada.

I’m having the time of my life.

ghost playthrough has been going well

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.

Ok so I’ve decided to get the picture from the dc app rather than bend my poor trade copy to kingdom come (eyyy)

Just… this entire page!!! I love it!!! Dear god just look at them!!

Also I love it that anytime Bruce and Clark are seen fight, Clark always grabs Bruce by the throat. Like why?! It’s so funny to me.

The “I have your back. Always!” My god!!

all their history reduced to nothing bc xbox decided that all their resources should go to the 36228th call of duty and a new fallout sequel bc now there is a show on and they need the hype to sell more. the future looks terrible. Thanks for nothing.

Ok so I’m working on something.

I might change up the formatting but we’ll see if this ever get finished.

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!?”

Dan Mora’s Superman in Batman/Superman: World’s Finest is gorgeous!

Really!! That’s so cool!! I love looking through the old comics and finding things that have probably inspired other things. Like I found a comic with a bunch of pills that gave people kryptonian powers.

Ok so in the new World’s Finest comics Clark gets a sidekick!!! His name is David or Boy Thunder

Ok so I noticed this a while ago but I think David’s costume might be based off of Nova

Am I crazy? Idk it looks similar!
