everything reminds me of them

Bruce: your disguise is a pair of glasses?
Clark: yours is being stupid?
Superbat identity porn my beloved
ok but admitting that you hooked up with your ex to avoid thinking about your best friend is crazy work
i know ana isn't actually coming back but what i wouldn't give for her and eddie to run into each other, have some awkward ex small talk, and then for eddie to somehow let it slip that he and buck are living together now, cuing an "oh! oh that's... well, i always kind of suspected. i'm really happy for the both of you. i mean it" from ana that forcefully realigns all of eddie's chakras at once
Bruce picked up a bit of a British dialect from being raised by Alfred. It's not usually noticeable, but sometimes he slips up and uses Britishisms and phrases that Alfred used to.
More thoughts on Clark fantasizing about sweaty Bruce "in a friend way":
The reason this lasts so long is coz every time Clark considers that maybe this behaviour isn't normal, he looks over at Bruce who's doing the exact same thing and thinks "nah, this is how friends act, totally bros"
He's memorising his heartbeat and scent? Bruce has already studied every inch of his body in great detail multiple times
He's interested in learning more about Bruce's parents and childhood? Bruce has been learning to speak kryptonian and studying the culture for years now
He treats the bat kids like his own kids? Bruce literally buys the bank his parents owe money to so they can keep the farm
He stares at the man's scars for a bit too long in the changing rooms? Bruce just full on looks him in the eye while he strips down then continues on like nothing happened
This man has not only matched his freak, he's doubled it and put a batsymbol on it
After Bruce took Dick under his care, he actually stopped wasting time on any casual relationships - it seemed inconceivable when a little traumatized boy with unrestrained aggression and a desire to commit a capital murder was waiting for him at home. But after a few years, he thought, to hell with it, he deserved one night of good old fun. So he went to this gala concert in his best outfit, having previously arranged with Alfred to take Dick out for a short hike so that the mansion would be free during the night. And when he started looking for his "victim", he came across this charming reporter, all screaming Mr. Awkward with the broadest shoulders known to a man, and hands as warm as his smile, and Bruce, of course, takes him home. And everything goes great, only Dick returns earlier than Bruce expected, and enters his bedroom as usual without knocking.
Dick: hey B look i collected a whole basket of mushro— SUPERMAN??
Bruce, still half asleep, barely covering himself with a blanket: what
Dick: WHY IS THERE SUPERMAN IN YOUR BED.
Clark, without his glasses, his hair is combed back from the position of his head on the pillow: um
Bruce, already embarrassed and feeling like he'd failed as a guardian by letting Dick catch him the morning after: Dick what are you talking about, it's just some—
Bruce, turning to face Clark:
Bruce, paling:
Dick: THIS IS THE SUPERMAN YOU DICKHEAD WHAT IS HE DOING IN YOUR BED WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM—
Bruce: i... i don't know how to answer that
Dick, almost crying: DID YOU MAKE LOVE TO HIM WITHOUT TELLING ME—
Tim, after a long patrol, collapses onto the couch and ends up falling mostly on Dick
Jason, in a lightly mocking tone Awww, look at the sleepy baby
Dick humms and shifts, trying to get more comfortable with the extra weight
Jason grins, sees the opportunity to annoy Dick, and leans on Tim to put more pressure on Dick, stretching widely, I’m so tiiiired
Dick too tried to realize Jason is being a brat, starts patting Jason’s hair Me too man, me too
Jason who is also exhausted from patrol feels his eyelids start to droop, begins to doze on Tim unwittingly
Tim is completely unaware
Tim later wakes up trapped not only between Dick and Jason but all their other siblings have joined the pile in some way
Tim glances sideways and sees Bruce sitting in a chair
Bruce, not looking up, Alfred has already sent the photos to Barbara
Tim huffs then goes back to sleep, knowing attempting escape is futile
