Staar-fire - Bat Wayne 🦇

[wip] hmmm i should probably stop drawing bruce only as his dandy dilettante persona……. oh well.

[ID: A sketch profile of Bruce Wayne, holding an old-fashioned cigarette holder between two fingers close to his lips. His hair is neatly coiffed back, and he’s wearing a tuxedo with a flower pinned to the lapel. END ID.]

finished version here

i saw your thoughts on harley quinn and bruce wayne/batman becoming besties because they attended med school together. give us more.

okay bruce wayne & harley quinn headcanons:

they were in the same classes at med school and they sat together everywhere for like 3 weeks before they ever talked to each other, because bruce was an edgy bitch and harley was like 'you interrupt me while i'm studying you'll lose a finger'

when bruce adopted dick harley showed up at his doorstep completely unannounced with a t-shirt for dick that said 'my dad dropped out of med school and all i got was this stupid t-shirt'

even after she did a swandive into a pool of hot bleach she still tried to hang out with bruce, but kept getting arrested every time. so she settled for the next best thing: his furry alter ego batman

(yes she knows he's batman, what like it's hard?)

every single time she and the joker get up to some shit, she has a chat with batman, so she can annoy him by psychoanalysing him and calling him a furry, only when he starts psychoanalysing her it's really not fun anymore

when bruce took jason in she sends him a shirt that says 'ask me why my dad dropped out of medschool'

she and the joker are broken up by the time he kills jason and she ties him to the 56th floor of the wayne enterprises building in his underwear

when robin number three rolls around she hand delivers him a t-shirt that says 'inside every strong man is a tinier man that didn't finish med school'

after robbing the gotham zoo of their hyenas she names one bruce and the other ivy, while bruce is flattered, ivy doesn't talk to her for 3 weeks

robin four, also known as girl robin gets a shirt that says 'the reason my boss acts like that is because he didn't finish med school and wants to make it everyone's problem'

robin five doesn't want to accept her gift and tries to arrest her, so she shows up at their door the next day with her 'my father is a 6'0 Gothamite born in February who didn't finish med school' t-shirt. seeing as bruce wasn't home, that gets her arrested.

ivy breaks her out of arkham and harley vows to be her trophy wife. she lasts 3 days before breaking into bruce's house in the middle of the night to steal a cool painting.

bruce just looks at her while she's trying to escape like 'you could've just asked if you wanted that' and they get a drink together.

damian wakes up to find his dad and harley quinn black out drunk talking about that time bruce fell off a roof when they were in med school and let a first year student set his arm.

he wakes up tim and just goes "there is a- jester in our home,"

tim's like "oh you mean harley? yeah i'd been wondering when she'd come around" and just goes back to sleep

(cass gets a 'the only thing worse than a father is a father who didn't finish med school' t-shirt)

(duke gets a 'i aspire to work harder than my father who didn't finish med school' t-shirt)

Imagine Gotham just pities Bruce’s pathetic wet cat dontlookatme ass so much that his identity as Batman accidentally slips out once and even the press is like “we’re just gonna pretend we didn’t hear that” because the man has clearly been through enough and nobody has the heart to tell him that they know and send him into an episode

There are two D's in Jason's name because he comes with two times the drama

List of Bruce Wayne concepts that may or may not be me projecting

Once when he was 16 he texted Kate that she needed to come over quickly and she thought it was an emergency but it turns out that Bruce's boyfriend at the time broke up with him and he wanted to dye his hair and diss the guy with his older cousin

She still cries about this night when she misses him

After he adopted Dick he stopped locking his bedroom door so the kid could climb in bed with bruce and cuddle after a nightmare (it helped them both a lot more than either knows)

About a week before Dick's first gala the kid had a breakdown bc he wanted to wear a dress instead of a tux but thought bruce wouldn't approve or love him anymore if he found out, but when he did tell bruce all he did was hug him and ask "which dress do you want? No budget"

They made front cover the next day with their sparkly blue gowns

Bruce doesn't like Starbucks, and will often run into small family owned cafes as batman

Tim, Jason, and Cass took on this tradition

If a random kid comes up to the manor doors he will let them come in for dinner, sleep in a nice bed, take a shower whatever they need

He pays for free health care for all of Gotham

Stephanie asked him for advice on 'which piercing would look best on me' as a joke and he proceeded to answer her seriously

She didn't know that he had a septum piercing

He gets upset when people touch his neck and shoulders (specific the back)

He gives himself haircuts

He had a mullet at one point and doesn't regret it

Dick found pictures of it and that's why he grew his hair out into one, as a tribute

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

Kid batman: feral witch child

Teen batman: unhinged aggressive dork

damian, in a high voice, holding barbie: hey ken! I was thinking about going back to school and starting a career!

helana, in a deep voice, holding ken: nonsense, barbie. you’re staying home and having my kids

jason: what the fuck are you guys doing?

baby bat helana: playing systemic oppression

Young Bruce content? Young Bruce content 😌

Bruce absolutely adored babysitting Barbara. He loved every second he spent with her and before he had the courage to ask Jim if Barbara could stay the weekend. . .

Jim: Hey Bruce, I'm here to pick up Barbara.

Bruce, who is currently holding Barbara in his hands: Who?

Jim: . . . Barbara. . . My child-

Bruce: Never heard of her-

Jim: Bruce you're holding her right now-

Bruce: . . .

Jim: . . .

Bruce: *Casually walks over to a lamp and puts the lamp shade over Barbara's head* This is a lamp, Jim-

THIS outfit *and* the white streak peeking out? Carmine Di Giandomenico (artist) and Arif Prianto (colorist) I owe you my life

Look how visually effective this is, I LOVE it
