Bruce posts three types of posts on his social media (which includes Facebook, and Instagram because Tim said he had to have them or he’d be fired from WE)
The first is posts about where he’s working out. He likes to challenge himself in more places than just the cave so he goes to a bunch of different weird places.
Some of his top workout photos include:
Bruce doing pullups off the side of the WE building
His cliff diving off of some of Gotham’s most famous cliffs
The one time he was spotted chasing Damian up a children’s jungle gym (this was more of a Damian get down incident, but it was also tagged MY SON and Workout)
The short video of him literally swinging through the trees in one of Gotham’s parks
Him swimming out to one of the bouys in Gotham’s pier
The second is where he eats:
When Bruce isn’t eating at the manor he’s usually on a date or at some charity thing so he posts about these often. Most of the time he’ll talk about the charity, discuss his food, or talk about the person he’s with.
The Batkids get very interested if he’s posting a lot about a woman. They’ve learned how to tell how serious Bruce is about his current date by how much he says about their date on FB. They also keep close tabs on his relationship with Selena this way, because it’s easily more reliable than either Bruce himself or the Tabloids.
The third is his kids. Some favorites are:
The time Bruce posted on his FB: “Just went shopping with Tim and learned the ingredients in a Red Bull, needless to say they are off the shopping list forever”
The infamous Steph winning the Waffle Eating competition Facebook and Instagram cross post. During this event Bruce gave a moment by moment break down of the contest, right up to the point where Steph won then proceeded to ask for ‘another plate of waffles.”
Multiple shots of Damian looking put out at a meeting or a charity event, even more shots of Damian beaming while accompanied by animals. A favorite on Instagram is him with Batcow.
A lot of selfies with Dick, mostly of them doing mundane things like eating ice cream or arm wresting, there is also the rare photo of them working out together.
The famous shot of Bruce and a ‘mystery son’ (aka Jason) washing a motorcycle together. It looks like it belongs in a magazine and is captioned: Bonding Time. A lot of the comments for this read like: They look so happy.
The FB post where: “Cassandra and I just finished watching Inside Out, and we’re both still sobbing”
And the follow up post including a picture with Cass surrounded by plush figures of each of the characters, an ear-to-ear grin on her face captioned: Got her these because she loved the movie so much #Best idea ever
The Facebook post announcing that Bruce and Barbra started a team for the annual GCPD charity run and anyone is invited. A ton of people signed up and they raised a record amount of money that year. Plus Bruce got a great photo of him and Barbra together at the finish line.
The short video he posted of Duke trying to teach him how to skateboard cross posted on both Facebook and Instagram. This sparked a Meme of Famous People on Skateboards where people Photoshopped faces over Bruce’s in the video. (His favorite is the one someone did of Superman. He sent it to the League the moment he found it)
Hands down, everyone’s favorite posts are the ones that include the entire family, most of these come in the form of Instagram posts, but the Facebook conversations that happen in the comments are not to be ignored either.
As if on cue, Andrew appeared in the doorway with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and Kevin at his back. “Success.”
That scene in the first book at Wymack’s apartment
(pt 1/pt 2)
If you were offered a chance to write a single issue batman story, what would you write?
Okay, presuming this is in a main book like Detective Comics itself, rather than any particular character’s solo?
I mean, obviously the instinct is to say a story about Steph, or about Cass, but honestly? What I’d really love to write?
I’d love to write a down-to-Earth ordinary people of Gotham story. Some ordinary person; I’d probably go with a single mom, poor, working some menial job, living in some crappy apartment, constantly stressed out.
I’d follow her around and show Gotham from her perspective. Look at how, despite the money being poured into it by Bruce Wayne and other wealthy individuals, the system itself isn’t working, she can’t trust the police, and things are hard. See the rough situation she’s finding herself in.
She gets mugged, or something similar, and she’s angry and bitter, and she ends up breaking down. And then her daughter comes out. Wearing some sort of shirt with a Robin logo on it, and she tells her mom that it’s going to be okay.
And then there’s a knock at the window, and it’s one of the Batkids. I’d probably make it Spoiler!Steph because I’m me, but it could easily be Cass or Duke or any of the others. They’re bringing back her wallet because they caught the mugger who robbed her, and ask if she’s hurt. She’s not, and they’re gone before she can say thank you.
She checks the wallet.
That money wasn’t there when she got robbed. It’s stuffed full of cash.
And we see her next day. And we see things are just a little better. We see her help out someone who’s in a pinch. We see her smile, just a little more. We see her get the mail and her building is being bought by Wayne Enterprises, who’re going to be remodeling, but they promise her rent won’t go up.
We see, bit by bit, how the Bats are making things better. Because I think we lose that a lot, in superhero stories. We joke about how Bruce Wayne should be able to solve all of Gotham’s problems just by paying his taxes, and superheroes themselves question if they help a lot.
And I’d want to show a story where the answer is a clear and definitive yes. I’d want to tell a story where we see the good that Bruce and all of the Bats are doing, both in and out of costume, and how that positive effect is spreading, even though it’s not fixing everything right away.
And at the end of the story, we see her reading a book to her daughter, and through the window, we can see the Bat Symbol, and the hint of a cape, as if someone’s checking in on them.
Also I’d love it to be illustrated by Mitch Gerads, because I really liked his style on Mister Miracle. Or like, David Aja from Fraction’s Hawkeye. Something like that.
The Reluctant Victor, inspired by The Reluctant Bride by Auguste Toulmouche - I just thought that this painting was SO perfect for Katniss and I had to draw it!
Someone in my anatomy class: *complains about not understanding the work they were given even though it was explained on what to do twice*
Girl: That’s why you need to get off that dang phone
Guy in back of class: ok boomer
I just think Shang Qinghua should get so angry one time that he unconsciously overrides the System and unlocks Admin privileges and just deletes entire clans out of existance in the blink of an eye while going "writing you in was a mistake".
And I also think everyone who saw that refuses to ever talk about it, but they're all scared shitless of the tiny human by Mobei-jun's side now because they realize he's not just really smart and an amazing strategist, he's also a god and can kill them all in 0.5 seconds. And now they all think that Shang Qinghua is actually the one running the show and Mobei-jun is just, like, the face of the Northern kingdom only.
Shang Qinghua is utterly horrified when he snaps out of it and realizes what he's done (somehow??? He doesn't know wtf just happened) and how now everyone is terrified of him except for Mobei-jun who is just looking at him with heart in his eyes lmao
