TALIA HAD ANOTHER SON
I really like brothers' relationships, I believe that they are special, strong, and not easily broken. And Damian has three older brothers.. well not anymore...
Talia was not honest when she said that Damian was her only (firstborn) son, because (Elias) breaks her saying about it, Elias is Talia's first son and she gave birth to him about six years before Damian, the reason why the latter is not in Damian's life is his exposure Exile from Damian's grandfather on the accusation that Elias is too weak to be his heir
Elias lived the rest of his life in exile from his only family, following the news of this family intermittently until it was completely cut off after he knew that (his blood) had moved to Gotham, where his father...
Gotham is Elias' next destination...
why want a batman when you can have cass cain instead? **questioning whether i wanna be her or be with her**
(no offence to bruce but there's no way i'm gonna go one-on-one with selina or joker to take him)
Damian: Who the fuck added me to a fucking group chat?
Cass: >:O
Dick: language
Jason: Yeah watch your fucking language
Tim: Okay, who taught demon spawn the fuck word?!
Stephanie: 'The fuck word'.
Duke: Are you stupid? You guys use the f word all the time
Tim: Oh my god they censored it
Stephanie: Say fuck, Duke.
Jason: Do it, Duke. Say fuck.
Dick: Time for plan G.
Stephanie : Don’t you mean plan B?
Dick: No, we tried plan B a long time ago. I had to skip over plan C due to technical difficulties.
Tim: What about plan D?
Dick: Plan D was that desperate disguise attempt half an hour ago.
Cass : What about plan E?
Dick: I’m hoping not to use it. Jason dies again in plan E.
Damian : I like plan E.
Best girls in Gotham
Stephanie 'will kill for waffles' Brown and Cassandra 'will give her a weapon to do it' Cain. That's their trope, I don't make the rules.
'Stephanie Brown was the Robin, Batman deserved but didn't need'
I do stand by the notion. Unlike Jason, Tim and Damian, she WANTED to be Robin, it wasn't handed to her, for Damian it was basically his birth right.
Her relationship with Batman is just really complex. What he did to her was wrong, but you should punch yourself if you think he doesn't care about his Robins, CAUSE HE DOES, HE'LL DIE FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM. No, he isn't her father and she isn't his daughter.
Stephanie was the Robin Batman needed because she was his reflection in many ways. Her stubbornness matched his, her sense of justice reminds me of Batman, her anger towards criminals and her sympathy towards victims all represent what the Batman Mantle stands for. However, she is her own character.
Stephanie Brown is a mirror but she is herself. Her stubbornness that of Bruce, she's hardworking just like Cassandra, her strong sense of justice matches that of Jason Todd and her energy to make everyone around her comfortable matches that of Dick Grayson.
What makes Stephanie herself is her flaws. Her stubbornness, anger, people pleasing-ness, her such strong sense of justice, how she loves so hard that it ruins her but it still doesn't stop her from loving, her emotional behavior but that's what Stephanie is!!
She does a golden retriever energy and I do believe that, she's my comfort character <3 and I think that aura contrasts that of Batman. I'm not justifying Bruce for what he did and her death could have been avoided but she was meant to be a vigilante. In another universe where she gets the Batman Mantle, I will assure you that she would be the Batman, Bruce couldn't be.
I am so sick and tired of people revolving her character around being a golden retriever or a love interest of Tim Drake and/or Cassendra Cain!
In short,
Stephanie Brown was the Robin Batman deserved was because she was his own reflection, no one could've made him see his flaws that way she could have because she's his flaws personified (this isn't an insult), sure he didn't need her, but the timeline of Stephanie being Robin is very special to me. I know what he did was wrong, but I do know her death was something that had a major effect on him because he failed another child, another Robin, another person who looked upto him. I do believe that Bruce cared, but that care didn't overshadow his harshness on her. I do believe Bruce regretted how he behaved when she was Robin, and I do believe he went to her grave every week to give flowers not out of guilt but out of care.
Should Stephanie Brown forgive him? No. However, will she? Yes. Stephanie Brown is nothing if not someone who believes in second chances.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, I'm NOT normal about Stephanie Brown :D
I hope this was enough to answer your question on my previous post @a-bad-case-of-the-stephs
i get bruce is emotionly unavailable as fuck but if he can do a big personality shift into Brucie, why cant he love his kids that way? sure, Bruce struggles to show his affection and Batman is a brick wall, but Brucie? Let Brucie be how he shows love when his other mindsets cant. Let Brucie be known for kissing Dick's cheek at parties before he walks off, for calling Tim 'sweetheart', for always having an arm around Cass or Babs, for always having a hand on Steph or Duke or Damian's shoulder. When he later cannot use Brucie to initiate affection with Jason, he tries his best to make the step as Bruce.
(despite this, all his children know that when they receive affection from Brucie, it is also from Bruce. it looks like a performance but at the end of the day these are two parts of the same man and Brucie is just as real, just as much their father, as Bruce is)
I just thought of a au where all the Batkids are kind of like mob bosses but more in a “Red hood/kill the bad people in the city but leave the not so horrible ones to reform” way. But Bruce is good dad Bruce that love his kids and is a normal civilian that still has training form ether Alfred or still when on the travel the world training thing. But did not become Batman and is like the Batfamily webtoon Bruce. In which he is sweet and calls his kids nicknames just being a good dad/person.
Wether Bruce knows what his kids are doing is up to anyone to interpret but I think it is funny either way because the Batkids are in the living room talking about some plan then Bruce comes in and is like: Hello Jason, Dick, Damian, Tim, Cass, Steph, Duke (did I forget any base kids?) while giving them a kiss on their head. Goes and gets something and while he is leaving he hears “Thank goodness we switch to a different topic before he can in” and Bruce just smiles because he knows but does not want to put them out there.
(Babs is in the “secret” Batcave)
I love when Bruce calls his kids sweetheart. Because Bruce in all his English influenced life would go to his sad kid and say, “ How are you doing sweetheart?” Then the bat kid would most likely not want to talk so he would say something like, “Ok, sweetheart how about we go get you a choccy?”
Because Bruce is not good at talking about feeling or thoughts but he will try for his kids and he is a good father dang it. Plus Alfred has raised that man like an old English baby and you can tell.
So the fix is that Bruce got hit with a truth serum that kind of just makes Bruce say the first thing that come to mind. So Jason still convinced that Bruce hates him asks Bruce what he thinks of him. Bruce answers like this: (be warned I do not remember how it went exactly)
Jason: What do you think of me?!
Bruce: Baby
Jason convinced that Bruce that some how found a way around the serum: What about Dick?!?!
Bruce: Acrobat Baby
Jason: Tim
Bruce: Tech Baby ( or smart baby)
Jason: Steph
Bruce: Purple Baby
Jason ,getting annoyed: How about Duke
Bruce: Light Baby
Jason: Damian!
Bruce: Staby baby
Jason: Cass?
Bruce: Ballerina baby
And I find it funny and love that in Bruce’s mind they are all baby just baby (thought I do think that Jason is “Book baby” not just baby). It is adorable and I there are other fluff fic like this I want them please. Thank you and have a lovely rest of your night/morning/evening.
Friendly reminder that I was so rudely reminded of: In the comics (some versions) the Joker is related to Bruce. That put a whole new definition of family problems. *Cough *Cough. Jason, Joker Junior, literally any of the Vigilantes.
Have a good day!!
As a non-diagnosed Autistic person with friends that are diagnosed I feel I have some ground to say that Bruce is autistic and has a hard time communicating like me on some days. So when he talks about emotions they are private moments between him and his kid that he is talking to. Maybe it is not his kids is his co-worker (friend) from the JLA, Jim Gorden (friend), Babs (pseudo daughter),Lucios Fox (friend), Alfred (the man he thinks of as a father).
Please remember that no one person is the same and this is only partly my opinion and that you can agree or disagree with me but there is no reason to comment hate.
"I work alone," he says
No one is straight and no one is monogamous.
Coming out in the Wayne family would be:
Guys, I have something to say
What _______?
I-I am straight!
Say it an't so!?!
AND and monogamous!!!
OH my god no not from my ____
Damian, to Tim: I feel it is only right to tell you I am pursuing the kent boy.
Damian, nervously: ...and the batson boy.
Tim: Cool, I'm glad they make you happy.
Damian: what? why aren't you shocked!?
Tim: why would I be?
Damian: I'm courting two people at once!
Tim: so? They know about each other, right?
Damian: well, yes, but-
Tim: then that'd be kinda hypocritical, don't you think? With me dating Kon and Bernard and all-
Damian: you are.
Damian: what.
Tim: yes??? You knew this??
Damian, alarmed: I most certainly did not!
Tim: Damian, everyone in this family is poly, It'd be weirder if you were monogamous.
Damian: that can't be right, what about Todd?
Tim: Roy and Starfire.
Damian: Brown and Cain are monogamous-
Tim: with the way they keep chatting up the new intern at Wayne Tech? Please.
Damian: Thomas isn't in a relationship.
Tim: still poly.
Damian: Richard??
Tim: literally married to Wally and Babs, you were at the weddings, Damian? what the fuck??
Damian: Father-
Tim: is dating half the justice league, three villains and your mother, Damian!
Damian:
Damian, realising why that photo of the Wayne's and Alfred looked so romantic: my god.

What if Bruce went on the whole training thing but decided that he would not be Batman maybe because he adopted Dick or thought it would be a bad idea and then got all his kids. But they do not know that their dad has this kind of training and they become vigilanties on their own. He could know or he could not know. Maybe he finds out after and decided not to tell them he knows. Maybe he do or does not know and sometimes goes out as Batman on rare occasions and he is more of a myth then anything. Maybe he becomes the Mayor stopping the crimes and criminals while also using Wayne interprises to fund building projects and funding the prison so criminals STAY in prison.
Picture this Tim finds out Dick is Robin like originally and thinks that Bruce is Batman. But Tim confronts Dick and Dick tells him that Bruce is not Batman and that he is only a civilian and has no idea of what Dick is doing.
Damian coming on to the scene and the Batkids find out about Bruce's training from Talia telling them why/how Damian was made because that is their loving father who would not hurt a fly and is scared of bats. What do you mean he's a brilliant detective of course he's smart but he's not a detective and he certainly has not been trained?
Or maybe Damian is confused but after seeing how Bruce treats his adopted "siblings" maybe mother ment he has a strong heart and he desideds that he will protect his father with his life because he has too soft of a heart to be able to survive Gotham of all places..right?
Jason coming back to life but instead of hating Bruce he misses him because it's his dad. He could not do anything he is a civilian he was in Gotham sleeping when Jason died and did not know what happand till later.
He is their dad that while he is a bit emotionally constipated sure.But was always there for them he read them Bedtime Stories, he held them when they had nightmares,never pushing them to tell him what they were about, he was always there for their compatitions, games, gymnastic lessons,art shows,writing,school plays and the first to be at the photograghy award ceramonys, always apologizing if he missed any or even if he was a little late.
I hc that Bruce randomly drops lore about his life before he became Batman.
The Justice League, The Titians, young Justice and all other superhero groups are at the watch tower no one knows that Batfamily even execets even Wally only knows Dick is Nightwing and Bruce is Batman ONLY. But Bruce is under the assumtion that they know his identaity becuase it has been over a century they have to know right?
Training in separate groups and there is a break with everyone on couches talking
Batman starts speaking and everyone stops what they are doing: This remindes me of Nick.
Superman: Who is Nick, Batman
Oh I never did mention him did I? By Nick I mean Saint Nikolus or Santa
EVreyone: SANTA?!?!?!
Yes? How else was I supposed to learn how to sneak around Superman?
Wait! I thoungh you said that you trained under *List of assassion supervillians that get worse with every name*?!?!?
WHAT?
I did but Saint Nickolus was the best at stealth
The people of the younger side (-Tim): I thought Santa was make beleive?
Batman confused:N-
Red Hood & all the other batkids (-Tim): SANTA IS REAL??! WHY DID YOU NOT TELL US DAD?!?!
Everyone:DAD?!?!
Wally: I DID NOT KNOW YOU HAD A CRIME LORD AND HERO SIBLINGS?!?!
Nightwing: Did you think they did nothing when we went out ?
Wally: YES
Everyone: You knew!
Wally: I knew that Batman was Nightwings dad nothing more.
Barry: You did not think to let me know?!?!
Wally: Oh sure and get killed by Batman!
Superboy 1: Why are you not surprised by any of this Red Robin?
Red Robin: I killed Santa
What!
Red Robin: BUT he is ok now!
( I'm pretty sure he doesn't get revived but for this he's revived)
I would finnish but it is Mid-night and I want to go to bed
Here is a fic: (I do not have a AO3 Account but I hear it is good but PLEASE read the tags)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/55115956/chapters/139750738
A video like the fic:
Kal: Bruce, there you are — what in the world?
Bruce: Hey Kal.
Kal: Who are all these kids?!
Bruce: My Bat Family. I’m a dad now.
Kal: Since when?!
Bruce: Since 1940. Try to keep up.
Kal: I thought it was just the one! Hi, Nightwing.
Dick: Hi Superman! Yeah, I have siblings now.
Kal: And how’s that working out?
Dick: Most of us have died at least once.
Kal: …What?
Bruce: Hey Kal, check it out. This one’s super smart, and we have matching coffee mugs.
Tim: :)
Bruce: This one…
Cass: …
Bruce: Actually, this one scares me. And this one glows in the dark! Heheh!
Duke: :D
Kal: I can see that…
Damian: Father, I’m hungry. When are we having dinner?
Bruce: How many criminals have you caught today?
Damian: *holds up three villains* Is this sufficient?
Bruce: Eh, it’s good enough. Here. *tosses him a tofu hotdog, like just the dog part* Keep working on it. Three more and you get the bun.
Kal: *horrified silence*
Dick: Hmph! When I was Robin, I could catch at least five criminals before dinner.
Tim: Oh my gosh, Dick, no one cares!
Jason: No one cares about anything in this stinkin’ family. Where were you all when I died, huh?!
Everyone: *groan*
Damian: Quit being such a drama queen, Todd! It’s not like losing your life is the end of the world!
Tim: Yeah!
Damian: You shut up. The only thing you’ve ever lost is your spleen.
Duke: And his parents.
Everyone except Damian: *parental trauma* AH!
Bruce: I told you never to mention that!
Kal: I can’t believe what I’m watching… Does Alfred know about this?!
Bruce: Yeah, totally, he’s cool with it.
Kal: *narrowing his eyes* I have a very hard time believing that.
Bruce: Well, he works for me, so shut up.
Kal: What about Catwoman?! Does Catwoman know about this?!
Bruce: *nervous* Um… well…
Damian: *suspicious* Who’s Catwoman?
Bruce: *very nervous* No one.
Dick: Oh, he is so dating Catwoman!
Tim: Why didn’t you tell us?!
Jason: What if we don’t want a step-mom, huh?!
Bruce: Woah, hold on now —
Duke: Look, you’re upsetting Batgirl!
Cass: …
Bruce: Alright, that’s enough! We’re not gonna talk about this anymore! Because —
Everyone: *annoyed* — you’re Batman!
Bruce: No! Because I said so! …And also, yes, because I’m Batman! Cause Batman says so!
Kal: *smirking* More like because you’re Bat-Dad.
Bruce: >:(
Kal: And hey, where’s Barbara? I thought she was Batgirl?
Bruce: *nervous* She was…
Kal: …Bruce, what did you do?
Dick: Oh, don’t worry, Superman, Barbara’s fine.
Kal: Oh, thank goodness.
Jason: She’s just paralysed from the waste down.
Kal: Bruce!
Bruce: It wasn’t my fault! She’s not even technicially my kid!
Kal: Bruce…
Bruce: Oh, don’t you “Bruce” me. I’ll “Bruce” you… “Bruce” you in the face.
Kal: Okay, that’s it, you are not allowed to find any more sidekicks starting right now!
Bruce: *holding up Harper* What about this one?
Kal: No!
Bruce: *holding up Spoiler* This one still has a parent — I can just be a mentor.
Kal: No!
Bruce: Well, gee, Kal, what am I supposed to do with all the orphans in Gotham, then, huh?!
Kal: Do you hear yourself right now?
Bruce: I have a system, Kal!
Kal: That’s it! There’s only way to solve this!
*Superman grabs Batman, and they fly off*
*Batman then appears on the couch in Therapist Spider-Man’s office from Across the Spider-Verse*
Therapist Spider-Man: Would you say you carry any trauma from your childhood?
Batman: *leans over* Do I have a story for you.

Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered June 29th; their son Bruce, 8 years old at the time was never seen again. This was only the beginning of the strange disappearances of orphaned children in Gotham city.

Damian will never admit this but when ever Bruce gets injured he sneaks into his room and cuddles him. Bruce knows oviosly but he knows that Damian needs to be reashured that Bruce is ok so he never mentions it. Like how he never mentions if any of his other kids join or if Dick and Jason hang around the manor more. He does not agnoleage that Cass follows him around. Or Steph needing to "find something" she convenianty forgot in the room Bruce's in and that ever time she asks if he needs something or if he feels pain anywhere. Or when Duke goes to "study" in the room Bruce's in because it "has good lighting' or "is his faveriote spot to study in."
Because if there is one thing that they got from Bruce it is their emotional constipation when it comes to talking about their feeling and worries.

The news lady puts a hand over her ear
We just got confirmation that one of our Videographer where able to patch us through.
(A video pops up zooming in it shows the fallowing):
The Joker,on the left, with the gun pointed at Damian and on the right you can clearly see Bruce Wayne. With each of the other official and non-official Wayne kids being held by two henchmen each.
Joker:--Oh look where is your knight in shining armor now?
Bruce *yelling*: What do you want? (As the Joker puts the gun closer to Damian's head)
Joker: I herd from a little birdy that you and my batsy where together. Now I can't have that now can I? So I decided that for every five minutes it takes for Batsy to show I will kill one of your kides and the Grand Finale? Yo-
He was cut of by a sharp punch to the face by non other then Bruce Wayne,Gotham's Prince.
Bruce Wayne: Not my kids you, Bitch
It was silent for a second before all hell went lose
All the Wayne kids suddenly started to attack the henchman that where holding them, while Bruce looked Damian over and then pulled him behind him.
When everything cleared on the screen you could clearly see and hear Bruce fussing over his children and then he breathed a sign of relief. It the now totaly silent room the only thing that was herd was,"Thank God I listened to Alfred when he said to take those Taekwondo lessons when I was in Korea last month."
I am bored so what are some headcanons you have about the Batfamily?
I am crying and going to politely ignore that this is true.
Batfamily nicknames (Because I will remain willingly ignorant):
Bruce Wayne: "B" (or occasionally "Dad" sometimes "Bruce") الخفافيش (by Damian and yes it is the exact name of "bat" I am multi-bilingual) Detective ( f u Ra )
Alfred Pennyworth (the immortal man): "Alfe"
Richard "Dick" Grayson: ("Dick" is more like his name soo) Big bird "Wing" "Dickie"
Cassandra "Cass" Wayne (not Cain): (like Dick but with Cass) "BB" "Mini-Bat" works to I guess
Jason Todd-Wayne: Jay, Jaylad, Jaybird, Blue Jay, Baby bird Dead man walking
Tim Drake-Wayne: Timmy ,Timabella, Timderly, Tim-tam (Yes I am aware that the 2 & 3 are supposed to be insults but I like them and I feel like a first they would be but then they would start not to be)
Damian Wayne: Dami, Baby bat, Demon brat (same idea as Tim with his nicknames) al-witwat (that bat flaping sounds((love that idea)) )
Steph Brown: Steph (Ov) "S" (by Cass when she Signs) Bruce's future child
Barbra Gordan: "Babs", "O" "Babe" (as a joke from Dick and only he says it)
Jim Gordan: Detective "hn" ( guess how says this) Jim-Jim ( no idea who would call him this but oh well)
Fun fact: Canonically, nobody in the batfam has been called 'baby bird' or 'baby bat'. Apart from Duke. They have always been Duke's nicknames.

Here it is:
The Bats were dead and Dick was the only one left alive. He had nothing left for him so why shouldn’t he join them? Waking up back in time was not the plan but Dick wasn’t complaining. He finally has his family back and he will not lose them again. Robin has always been able to do what Batman couldn’t. It was okay that Bruce won’t kill. Dick wouldn’t ask him to compromise his morals. But he had no such restrictions. He doesn’t mind killing, getting his hands dirty, and being a monster if it means his family is alive. . Or a Dark Dick Grayson who is just a tad overprotective of his family. Just a tad.
