May I sample this cake when it is finished baking?
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!?”
Listen I have my own world for all the dc stuff. It’s an entirely different earth. This comic series has literally multiple multiverses. Let us have fun!
Also as someone who reads the comics, my guy there are so many comics. There is 80+ years of comics here. They have done literally everything, let people have fun. This is how new stories are created for these characters. There’s a comic about medical fantasy dc characters. Future State was a cyberpunk hell. Like there are so many comics.
“that’s not accurate to the comics!!” I couldn’t care less, these r my dolls and I will do whatever I want to them, i’m playing house goddamnit!! lemme live in my delusions!! It’s called feeding ur inner child!!!
Green arrow, getting into a fight with batman because he insulted bruce
“No, I want to hear you say it again,” Ollie said, leaning over the conference table and past Dinah to jab a finger in Batman’s face. “Insult him again, I dare you.”
Batman, for his part, looked entirely unperturbed by Ollie’s chest puffing. “I said, Bruce Wayne isn’t exactly known for being intelligent. That’s common knowledge, Green—”
“Do you know what he’s been through?” Ollie exploded, “Do you know how fucked up his childhood was? It’s a miracle he’s functioning as an adult. I knew him in school — do you know what he was? Sad. And you have the nerve to sit in your stupid little angst suit and lecture me about Bruce Wayne?”
Dinah swallowed, giving up on holding Ollie back. She glanced at Batman out of the corner of her eye, prepared to size up an opponent, but the other man’s posture was still relaxed.
He seemed…taken aback, if such a thing was possible for the Batman.
“I…apologize,” Batman said quietly. “I hadn’t realized the extent of your feelings toward him.”
“Pick on someone your own size next time,” Ollie grumbled, as close to an apology as he would get. “Bruce does so much for Gotham. More than you’ll ever do. So yeah, if he’s a little air-headed sometimes — that’s fine with me.”
With that, Ollie turned on his heel, exiting the conference room with a huff. Batman stared after him for a long moment, steeped in stillness.
“He cares about his friends,” Dinah offered, breaking the awkward silence. Batman gave her an odd look, jaw tensing.
“I know.”
“Now you do,” Dinah said, putting enough emphasis on the first word for him to look up at her, acknowledging the hint. “I’d better go check on him.”
Random Thoughts:
Ok so to be honest I did have a thought but as I was typing it went away so now I have nothing and I’m just typing.
The thought is still there but like to buried for me to get at and type about so it’s gone.
Hope everyone has a good night
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.
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!!
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
Something that Tim Drake “superfans” need to learn how to accept is that the batfam doesnt revolve around Tim and Tim can and has done wrong. Coming from a Tim fan myself, this has been a huge issue in the batfam fandom and it plays a lot into other characters mischaracterization.
Yes, Bruce trained Tim a little harsher than the others, but that was after his son was brutally murdered. Bruce was trying to keep Tim safe.
Yes, Damian attacked Tim, but before that, Tim made fun of Damian and borderline insulted him before they even knew each other.
Yes, Jason did attack Tim in Titans Tower, but Jason had also believed that he had been replaced and discarded the moment he died.
Yes, Dick gave Robin to Damian, but in Dicks eyes, Tim was spiraling and cracking under his grief and couldnt be Robin anymore for his own mental health.
No, Dick didn’t threaten to send Tim to Arkham.
No, Jason didn’t ever call Tim Replacement (it was pretender, which is arguably worse but okay).
No, Damian is not a heartless creature who only wants to remove Tim.
Call Tim a sad coffee obsessed boy or whatever you want, but don’t butcher other characters just to put him on a pedestal.
Bruce has a scar on his left eyebrow from when he was just starting out as batman and a Baterang ricocheted into his face.
