Imagine the league in the early days, they think they have a mole. Because of how secretive he is, they think its Batman, they know nothing about him & he's new. So it makes sense he's the mole. So they bug him. Instead of finding out he's the bad guy, they find out he's 23 year old business owner who can barely function as a real human being that likes to bitch about his new night time coworkers to his 8 year old son 🤣
Bro 😠early early days batman where he isn’t so quick to find out he’s bugged (but he learned after this) and they straight up hear this kid having a mental breakdown every 3 hours
Jason being protective over Bruce just feeds my soul. I don't even need dinner, just give me Jason scaring off suitors away from his dad and I'll be CONTENT
LISTEN. Bruce is literally always sending Jason messages, texts, tries calling him, even sends him memes at Steph's recommendations, but nothing! Nada!
He always sighs and tries again, but eventually scores Jason's gonna talk when he's gonna want to.
He also leaves him voice mails, detailing about doing arts and crafts with Damian, how he tried Jason's training routines, taking cooking classes, - and he always ends the message with, " Don't get into trouble, Jay. "
It passes as I love you,
What does it? What finally stirs Jason back into the Wayne Manor? This:
" Jason Peter Todd. This better be the last time you prank call Tim in a middle of a meeting. You're more than aware our investors are, -" cut " I'm calling you for a favour. Could you watch Damian for me Thursday night? Everyone else is busy, and Clark made some reservations at a ridiculously expensive establishment, I-"
Jason marching through the manor with this voice mail at full volume, while Bruce and the others are trying to get him ready for the date. Dick is the first one who spots him. " Oh, no-"
" HE IS A FUCKING DEAD MAN!"
" Jason," Bruce is very calm as he attaches his nicest broach on. " Watch your language. "
" Who's this Clark guy? How long have you known him? What does he do? Do we have a background check? What about romantic history Who's? Who's side was he on in the Heard vs Depp trial? "
" He posts golden retrievers on that blue bird app you like. He's even...Approved? I think? But Dick told me not to mention it around you. And take that off, you'll scare him. He should be here any minute now."
" OH THATS WHAT I'M COUNTING ON - "
grouchy city boy visits the kent farm
Another old shitpost
Kid batman: feral witch child
Teen batman: unhinged aggressive dork
bruce didn’t actually care if clark got to eat, he just chose violence for the sake of it
BATMAN: WAYNE FAMILY ADVENTURES — EP. 11
Do you have any fanfic recs? Cause I plowed through a lot but a lot I don’t really jive with. But your (correct) vision of the bats is what I’m looking for. You know Bruce is trying to be a dad and not ever hitting his kids. And everyone is like we hate each other for reasons but we also love each other.
Btw you literally make me grin. You’re truly funny and I just go on you blog and it makes my day better. Like the kind of smile you can’t smother and it just lasts for ages so thank you for every meme and joke and headcannon. They are so perfect
oh god you’re really putting a load on me here okay so good dad bruce wayne and overall good batfam stuff,,, also thanks so much! im really glad you like this stuff
Safe And Sound - watchingthestars13
this one is just,,, the cutest and i have read it like 20 times so far and it never fails to disappoint. it’s a 5+1 with times his kids called him dad and once he called himself dad. it has a hint of superbat, but that’s not the focus of the story.
Latchkey - goldkirk
okay this was one of the first tim drake centric works i read and it is the shit. (it also got me permanently imprinting on the first stupid nerd i saw) it’s about tim befriending jason and getting sucked into their family, while he’s trying not to get them to know he knows about their secret identities
Excelsior - jerseydevious
when i tell you you should read this im not kidding, it is one of my favourite batfam works and it’s just *chefs kiss* it’s incredibly well written and the characterisations are just beautiful and i love it so much. it’s about bruce buying damian a horse,,,, and then it all spirals from there.
Hummingbirds Under His Skin - jerseydevious
this,,, i just- dang this is a really good fic and i love it so very much. no explanation needed. bruce and dick have a little chit chat about being bisexual.
In For a Penny - cdelphiki
have you ever thought about how bruce must’ve been like 25 when damian was born? no? how damian was born when dick already lived with bruce? no? now have you ever thought about damian arriving at the manor as a baby? well now you do. it is,,, so cute and so angst, but so cute.
birds fly in every direction - distracted_dragon
is it obvious that i love tim drake yet? this is long, like 180.000-ish words but it is chockfull of shenanigans and angst and i love it so much. omg shit i just remembered @batfam-chaos is the author of this. i literally followed them bc of the fic and then i forgot they were the author omg. okay it’s about tim!! being very smart and researching vigilantes and then him befriending jason!
Emergency Contact - lurkinglurkerwholurks

Disaster Zone - engmaresh

Pot, Meet Kettle - borntobemild
*screaming* i love stephanie brown!!!!!! (and tim drake) and stephanie brown and tim drake besties dynamic!!! it’s about tim and steph being bffs with shitty dads :( but i love it,,, read it now.
My own batfam worksÂ
okay it’s probably weird to rec your own stuff, but i’m just putting out there that i am incapable of writing bad dad! bruce wayne so it definitely doesn’t have that.
Ok but pattinson!batman in the justice league would be hilarious. like he would be a stoic, confident, strong minded scary leader who would be quiet and smart and everyone would respect him but than if he had to take of the cowl he would be some young guy with make up, unable to make eye contact, stammering about and nearly bursting into tears immediately because people could see him
