Hey thank you for making my two hyperfixations interact.
Also you are absolutely right let him rest.
what is the best poly ship in your opinion
Bruce Wayne/horse tranquilizers/12 hours of uninterrupted sleep
AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.

WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON'T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.
I'M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.

my apologies Tumblr is a Webbed Site and ate my first message. please read this article in regards to we are robin, it's really common and problematic, but I want people to be aware so we can make fandom safer thanks!
https://ejusa.org/why-we-dont-say-gang/
Ok so first of all thank you for telling me about this. Iāve changed it cause I feel like I should, though I do want to mention I meant no malice gang is just part of my vocabulary when I talk about people in a group.
I do want to mention, and Iām sorry if this comes off as rude, that maybe you shouldnāt use the word problematic. Itās often used as a buzzword by people who want to cause problems rather than educate. Example is I like villain characters cause theyāre characters and I like to study how they operate for my own stories. But often on other websites (and even this one) people will call that problematic when itās doesnāt actually affect real people.
Sorry for the rant I just felt like that was important to tell people. But genuinely thank you so much for telling me about this and I really appreciate you going out of your way to tell me about this. And you were incredibly polite about it which I appreciate so much.
Ok so adding to this, Bruce might be a bit out of character but Iām letting him have fun.
So Bruce double and even triple checked that no one was gonna try and attack the museum during a charity event. So he genuinely thought ok this might be safe, I might let my hair down a bit. Beside Diana and Clark will be there this should be fine.
So Bruce decided to actually have a few drinks and since Clark was there Bruce pulled a Brucie Iām important so Iām gonna take this guy with me cause he looks fun move. So Clark could actually have fun rather than just work the whole night.
They go find Diana who is desperately trying to escape the rich folk talk with the other attendees and Bruce decided to go hey Miss Prince whatās this and steal Diana away from the other guests. She pretty grateful tbh.
So theyāre sitting in their corner of the museum, just hanging out and talking. When suddenly several incredible armed individuals crash through the skylight. It turns out there was a plan to attack this event but it was incredibly well hidden so these are some heavy hitters. At least some serious mercenary types. They are threatening the guests and saying theyāre holding them for ransom but thereās something else going on.
Unfortunately the Trinity are still too much in the open to change and these guys are like hawks.
I want this scene to go:
The Trinity whispering to one another.
Diana: ok we need a plan.
Clark: yeah
Both look at Bruce. Bruce looks to them flushed with alcohol.
Bruce: I know you two are smart people you can come up with a plan.
Clark: yeah we can but we need more than a smart plan right now.
Diana: these are obviously very competent soldiers who know not to let anyone out of their sight, we need a paranoid Batman plan right now.
Bruce: unfortunately Batman is too drunk to process half the things in this room, I swear this is why I donāt relax often.
Clark: ok I know this is bad but I still think you should relax more
Diana: thatās what youāre- ok I donāt disagree but we have bigger things to worry about than our friendās lack of self care.
Bruce: wait I think I do have an idea
Diana and Clark: really
Bruce stands up walks over to the table with all the food and drinks and starts pouring himself another glass of wine. This obviously pisses off the mercenaries.
Bruce proceeds to just start talking about random and inane bs that is 100 percent brucie wayne and that distracts them enough to let Diana and Clark go change really quick. Though they do watch for a sec cause it was admittedly hilarious.
Everything ends up going well, and Bruce gets carried home drunk by Diana and Clark.
The Trinity find themselves stuck in a hold up situation (at maybe the museum that Diana works at) and the three of them find themselves stuck in their civilian clothes.
They are surrounded so Clark canāt change quickly without people noticing.
Diana is getting increasingly more upset because they keep messing with her exhibits.
Bruce is frustrated because of course this happens he just wanted to hang out with Diana and Clark damn it.
So itās just them sitting there are the first moment they get theyāre changing.
This is just me getting the idea in my head cause Iām gonna draw this.
I love how Duke is equally as chaotic as the rest of the batfam he just doesnāt bring attention to it so it goes under the radar.
Like this kid jumped out of a cop car, off a bridge, and survived!
He joined and became one of the leaders of the We Are Robin guys!
He kicked Hal Jordan in the face without questioning him.
Duke is so Chaotic and heās great.
#Logical leap? more like logical free fall #the knowledge was beamed into his little freak head
These tag have been living in my head rent free. The first one will now be a part of my vocabulary. Thank you.
I need people to understand how crazy it was that Tim just knew about Bruce not being dead. He had like no concrete evidence he just saw a picture and did some basic background checking and decided ah yes Bruce is alive. Like what?! It took Alfred and Dick so much more search before getting concrete evidence and allowing themselves even a sliver of hope and Tim was like āI have little evidence of this but I know this is a cosmic truth.ā Like what the hell?! Thatās so funny?! Idk I just love this.

Cassandra Cain would love the classic era of Barbie. I will not elaborate.
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 doesnāt remember being superheroes. Iām gonna put them all at like 7. They gotta deal with Diana and Bruce just wanting to explore the space station cause this is Dianaās first time away from Themyscira and yeah sheās a bit scared but thereās so many things and she wants to explore. And Bruce is amazed cause holy crap heās 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 itās 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.

Here is some Kryptonite that I drew a while ago. Itās a bit dull looking cause of printing stuff but I like it.
Incorrect Batfam Quotes
After finding out Bruce is alive.
Dick: āListen, if Tim say something to me I 100 percent believe that he believes it. So I believe it too.ā
Tim: āI blew up several league of assassin bases.ā
Dick: āI have no way to know if that is true but Tim said it so I believe it.ā
Listen I have my own world for all the dc stuff. Itās 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. Thereās a comic about medical fantasy dc characters. Future State was a cyberpunk hell. Like there are so many comics.
āthatās not accurate to the comics!!ā I couldnāt care less, these r my dolls and I will do whatever I want to them, iām playing house goddamnit!! lemme live in my delusions!! Itās called feeding ur inner child!!!
Listen, Iām convinced you could put Barryās name and a copy pasta down afterwards and it would sound like a Reverse Flash monologue. Or just any meme.
Thawne: āBarry! What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? Iāll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and Iāve been involved in secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and Iām the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Youāre fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and thatās just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little ācleverā comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. You didnāt, and now youāre paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit all over you and you will drown in it. Youāre fucking dead, kiddo.ā
Barry: āā¦ā
dick grayson, used to fight killer clowns in pixie boots, not afraid to kill a man but never has: lmao
leon s kennedy, first day on the job, cried when he stepped on his dogās paw, forced to kill many people: D,:
Did harley go back to joker before/after Jason died?
Was she with joker (romantically or physically) when Jason was killed?
he was the ex she never got over, at least until jasonās death
I had a Terryās Chocolate Orange once in an airport 10 years ago (theyāre very hard to come by in the US, Iāve never seen them sold anywhere else) and I think about it everyday.
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 heās still Bruce and he just doesnāt 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 itās 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 Batmanās 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 Gothamās 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 canāt really do anything. Hell sometimes Leslyās 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 heās trapped. He doesnāt 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 arenāt 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 shouldnāt happen! But theyāve heard of this doctor in Gotham thatās 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 doesnāt know whatās going on or how freaking Superman is bleeding out in front of him but he doesnāt care. Bruce realizes quickly that the bullet is cause Clark more pain so it canāt 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! Itās polluted and over cast all the time, he wonāt 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 itās 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 canāt 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. Heās also still Bruce and canāt 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.
I love them
idk what to say
Plot armor but itās Bruce Wayneās wealth.
Bruce is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce does not want to be one of the richest men in world.
He starts by implementing high starting salaries and full health care coverages for all levels at Wayne Enterprises. This in vastly improves retention and worker productivity, and WE profits soar. He increases PTO, grants generous parental and family leave, funds diversity initiatives, boosts salaries again. WE is ranked ā#1 worker-friendly corporationā, and productively and profits soar again.
Ok, so clearly investing his workers isnāt the profit-destroying doomed strategy his peers claim it is. Bruce is going to keep doing it obviously (his next initiative is to ensure all part-time and contractors get the same benefits and pay as full time employees), but he is going to have to find a different way to dump his money.
But you know what else is supposed to be prohibitively expensive? Green and ethical initiatives. Yes, Bruce can do that. He creates and fund a 10 year plan to covert all Wayne facilities to renewable energy. He overhauls all factories to employ the best environmentally friendly practices and technologies. He cuts contracts with all suppliers that engage in unethical employment practices and pays for other to upgrade their equipment and facilities to meet WEās new environmental and safety requirements. He spares no expense.
Yeah, Wayne Enterprises is so successful that they spin off an entire new business arm focused on helping other companies convert to environmentally friendly and safe practices like they did in an efficient, cost effective, successful way.
Admittedly, investing in his own company was probably never going to be the best way to get rid of his wealth. He slashes his own salary to a pittance (god knows he has more money than he could possibly know what to do with already) and keeps investing the profits back into the workers, and WE keeps responding with nearly terrifying success.
So WE is a no-go, and Bruce now has numerous angry billionaires on his back because theyāve been claiming all these measures heās implementing are too expensive to justify for decades and theyāre finding it a little hard to keep the wool over everyoneās eyes when Idiot Softheart Bruice Wayne has money spilling out his ears. BUT Bruce can invest in Gotham. Thatāll go well, right?
Gothamās infrastructure is the OSHA anti-Christ and even what little is up to code is constantly getting destroyed by Rogue attacks. Surely THAT will be a money sink.
Except the only non-corrupt employer in Gotham city isā¦.Wayne Enterprises. Or contractors or companies or businesses that somehow, in some way or other, feed back to WE. Paying wholesale for improvement to Gothamās infrastructure somehow increases WEās profits.
Bruce funds a full system overhaul of Gotham hospital (itās not his fault the best administrative system software is WEāhe looked), he sets up foundations and trusts for shelters, free clinics, schools, meal plans, day care, literally anything he can think of.
Gotham continues to be a shithole. Bruce Wayne continues to be richer than god against his Batman-ingrained will.
Oh, and Bruice Wayne is no longer viewed as solely a spoiled idiot nepo baby. The public responds by investing in WE and anything else he owns, and stop doing this, please.
Bruce sets up a foundation to pay the college tuition of every Gotham citizen who applies. Itās so successful that within 10 years, donations from previous recipients more than cover incoming need, and Bruce canāt even donate to his own charity.
But by this time, Bruce has children. If he canāt get rid of his wealth, he can at least distribute it, right?
Except Dick Grayson absolutely refuses to receive any of his money, wonāt touch his trust fund, and in fact has never been so successful and creative with his hacking skills as he is in dumping the money BACK on Bruce. Jason died and wonāt legally resurrect to take his trust fund. Tim has his own inherited wealth, refuses to inherit more, and in fact happily joins forces with Dick to hack accounts and return whatever money he tries to give them. Cass has no concept of monetary wealth and gives him panicked, overwhelmed eyes whenever he so much as implies offering more than $100 at once. Damian is showing worrying signs of following in his precious Richardās footsteps, and Babs barely allows him to fund tech for the Clocktower. At least Steph lets him pay for her tuition and uses his credit card to buy unholy amounts of Batburger. But that is hardly a drop in the ocean of Bruceās wealth. And she wonāt even accept a trust fund of only one million.
Jason wins for best-worst child though because he currently runs a very lucrative crime empire. And although he pours the vast, vast majority of his profits back into Crime Alley, whenever he gets a little too rich for his tastes, he dumps the money on Bruce. At this point, Bruce almost wishes he was being used for money laundering because then heās at least not have the money.
So childrenāgenerous, kindhearted, stubborn till the day they die the little shits, childrenāare also out.
Bruce was funding the Justice League. But then finances were leaked, and the public had an outcry over one man holding so much sway over the worldās superheroes (nevermind Bruce is one of those superheroesābut the public canāt know that). So Bruce had to do some fancy PR trickery, concede to a policy of not receiving a majority of funds from one individual, and significantly decrease his contributions because no one could match his donations.
At his wits end, Bruce hires a team of accounts to search through every crinkle and crevice of tax law to find what loopholes or shortcuts can be avoided in order to pay his damn taxes to the MAX.
The results are horrifying. According to the strictest definition of the law, the government owes him money.
Bruce burns the report, buries any evidence as deeply as he can, and organizes a foundation to lobby for FAR higher taxation of the upper class.
All this, and Wayne Enterprises is happily chugging along, churning profit, expanding into new markets, growing in the stock market, and trying to force the credit and proportionate compensation on their increasingly horrified CEO.
Bruce Wayne is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce Wayne will never not be one of the richest men in the world.
But by GOD is he trying.
I love how Bruce tells Duke to guard the Cave & Duke goes "Yes, sir. You got it. Not a single goddamm person is getting into this Cave." Like he takes it so seriously that when the GREEN LANTERN shows up, Duke doesn't think "Hm. He probably has a good reason for being here. Maybe I should ask him?"
No.
He DROPKICKS HIS ASS.
Something that Tim Drake āsuperfansā 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 didnāt threaten to send Tim to Arkham.
No, Jason didnāt 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 donāt butcher other characters just to put him on a pedestal.
I need Bruce doing things he believes is completely out of character for Batman just to scare people. Like full on just putting Brucie into Batman as revenge against the annoyances heās received.
Hal walks into the meeting room early for once and sees Batman kicking his feet a doodling in his lead lined notebook with a sparkly gel pen.
Hal: āuhhhā
Batman: āHi GL~ā
Hal: flees
By the time the meeting comes around Batman is once again the stoic scary man he always is. Hal is half convinced that it was a hallucination of some kind, maybe lack of sleep or that bagel that Barry dared him to eat.
The meeting ends and everyone is just hanging out. Hal goes over to talk to Barry when he swears he hears Batmanās voice say āno one will ever believe youā in his ear. Hal doesnāt sleep well for a week.
(Batman is very smug about it, thatās what he deserves for eating his bagel. Alfred made the spread for it.)
Iām adding on to this cause I havenāt slept. These take place in various moments on the time line.
Dick āI grew up in two circuses, a real one and this one, the world is my stageā Grayson and Jason āIām literally the most dramatic person in this familyā Todd have the most fun with the pr move. They literally write scripts and choreograph fights in order to make the most dramatic scenes that would bring a tear to any bystander watching.
Roy and Kori are Dickās friends. Roy and Kori are Jasonās friends. Roy and Kori are concerned about their fighting and the batfamās relationship. Dick and Jason are trying to convince Bruce that they can trust Roy and Kori with the secret. Bruce allows them, only to get them to stop pestering him about it. Dick and Jason decide to do one last overly dramatic fight that would make it seem like they would never want to even look at each other again. Roy and Kori are horrified, shocked that either one could say such things to one another and are trying to figure out how they could continue their friendships with both brothers. Jason then invites them over to his place where they find him and Dick playing Mario Party. They tell them everything. Kori ends up laughing to tears. Roy ends up screaming.
Jason nearly killing Tim does happen (Jason now feels terrible, Tim is mostly annoyed rather than upset). Because is this the Titans HATE Red Hood. Conner wants to punch him to the moon. This may or may not cause issues for them when they try to do the pr move. Jason nearly did get punched to the moon. Itās gotten to the point where Tim tells them what is actually going on so he can finally enact his epic battle plans for his fight with Red Hood. The team doesnāt give a crap cause theyāre still mad at Red Hood. Jason just wants to do his dramatic job.
Jasonās and Bruceās rocky relationship is actually a pr move to make sure the rest of the batfam doesnāt 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 heās 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. Itās not the best reputation.
Bruce and Jason have long since talked and settled their differences. Well, itās more of a āI donāt 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 youā from Bruce and āIām not happy with a lot of your decisions but I also understand why you came to those decisions. Iām still mad but I now know that you missed me and I missed you tooā from Jason. Theyāre better than they were originally and honestly thatās all they could hope for. Jason visits the manor more and is having fun being brothers to Dick and Tim.
Hereās 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 canāt stop the media from blowing this out of proportion. Itās 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 (heās dealt with this before) but Jason brings up his plan to Bruce. Bruce isnāt 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 otherās 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 Jasonās 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 doesnāt 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 āheās Gothamās problem give him to me,ā which led to a hour of arguing to get Jason back. Timās 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 itās 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 theyāve both read. He and Bruce talk again, they talk about their fears and what theyāve missed. Itās better, and thatās all that really matters.
Iām accepting this as canon in my head. If I ever get around to actually writing the fan comics I have in mind, expect Brucie Wayne shenanigans.
The thought that Brucie Wayne and Batman being two completely separate entities that Bruce can code switch between has consumed me especially with the idea that he mixes the two together on occasion to fuck with people

Also I missed youā from Bruce and āIām not happy with a lot of your decisions but I also understand why you came to those decisions. Iām still mad but I now know that you missed me and I missed you tooā from Jason. Theyāre better than they were originally and honestly thatās all they could hope for. Jason visits the manor more and is having fun being brothers to Dick and Tim.
Hereās 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 canāt stop the media from blowing this out of proportion. Itās 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 (heās dealt with this before) but Jason brings up his plan to Bruce. Bruce isnāt 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 otherās 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 Jasonās 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 doesnāt 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 āheās Gothamās problem give him to me,ā which led to a hour of arguing to get Jason back. Timās 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 itās 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 theyāve both read. He and Bruce talk again, they talk about their fears and what theyāve missed. Itās better, and thatās all that really matters.
