Here’s a little map of the world, on the left of the islands there can be whatever land from FromSoftware you want really, it’s just a small little island. Also, I whipped this up in seven minutes, I promise you that my other drawings do not look this hideous, 😭 I will update it at some point.
The Lands of whatever the fuck I’ve gotten myself into. Honestly i just wanted to do a drawing now I’m writing a whole ass back story to a small idea of an AU I had.
The Great City of Gotham.
Backstory-
Gotham, the Great Capital City of the Deathstone Isle, was once a source of riches and landmass. The king, Thomas Wayne, and his Queen Consort, Martha Wayne, were just and fair rulers of the Islands that house Gotham and its few daughter cities. Martha and Thomas had a son, Bruce. However, one day they were found assassinated in their bed chambers, which left Bruce building up anger and resentment to people outside of his personal life over the years.
Eventually, these feelings show, along with everyone else’s as The Plague sweeps across the lands, transforming all life, waiting for you, dear Ronin Soldier, to vanquish them and stop The Plague from spreading any more.
List of Locations in ‘Greater Gotham’-
•Wayne Family Manor
•Crime Alley
•The Reapers Harbour
•Church of the Bat
•Church of the Flame
•The Crawling Cathedral
•Arkham Asylum
List of locations in ‘Outer Gotham’
•Old Gotham
•Lower Gotham
•Wastelands
•Blackgate
•Iceberg Tavern
•Academy of Gotham
•Ace Potions and Magic
Total numbers of ‘Bosses’ within the Great City of Gotham:
23
UPDATE about the Batfam x Fromsoft ware designs I’m currently planning. There will be two of each character, one before ‘The Plague’ and one after. After each one I’ll post about the lore behind these characters and why they ‘changed’ during The Plague.
Also, at some point today or tomorrow I’ll post about the actual land around them, what it’s like, The Plague that happened, a bit of backstory.
I will probably at some point expand outside the Batfam to the rest of DC.
Here is a list of characters that I’ve got planned out so far-
•Bruce Wayne
•Dick Grayson
•Jason Todd
•Cassandra Cain
•Tim Drake
•Stephanie Brown
•Duke Thomas
•Damian Wayne
•Alfred
•Harper Row
•Barbra Gordon
•Kate Kane
Finally, I’ll tell you now, please don’t expect regular updates for photos, I’m not good at time management, I’m already ten hours into the first drawing of Bruce, and I’m no where near done yet.
Thanks all! x
Hi, I’m pretty new here.
Would anybody be interested at all if I posted my Batfam x pretty much any FromSoftware designs over time? Like, genuinely, if this gets any attention, I’ll post them when they’re finished, or I might just post them anyway.
Me drawing tim drake 😘🥰❤️🖤:
Me drawing Bruke 🥸🤷♂️:
whenever i read batfam fics where tim’s parents are horribly abusive i get so confused?? cuz like i read his og origins and then the new 52 and i don’t remember his parents being like that?
like they were def neglectful and that is a form of abuse but like they didn’t hit him and they def never did some of the HORRIBLE stuff i see people write. i mean his parents weren’t necessarily good but they loved him fs! so where did that come from?? 🤔
That moment when you realize Bruce Wayne’s canon “favorites” aren’t his favorites… their his ideal selfs.
Bruce isn’t a ‘girl dad’ or ‘loves Dick because he’s his eldest’ no. That’s not it. He likes Cassandra because she’s has his exact moral code with little to no differences, she follows it to a tee. He likes Dick because Dick is his perfect version, his ‘success’ the best version of his exact situation. He loves them sure, but he doesn’t favor them because of love. It’s to further his own ego.
This is proved with Jay, to take care of Jay he had to push his own feelings onto Jay. To ‘fix’ him. Jay didn’t need ‘fixing’ or an outlet, he needed compassion, GENUINE compassion. Not self imposed compassion or understanding by grafting his experiences over Jason’s and making it more about himself then Jay.
He needs to keep making others ‘better’, that’s why he keeps Jay around. But shuns him too. Bruce needs to fix Jay, but Jay is imperfect, a stain on his legacy. So he can’t.
If you think about it from this perspective, Gotham War starts to actually sound completely in character. He succeeded, he ‘fixed’ Jay in his mind.
Same with Damian, not exactly, but close. He just couldn’t be the one to ‘fix’ him. Yeah he values Damian because he’s his son, but paying attention to him regularly? Nope. Damian’s been ‘fixed’.
Tim doesn’t need to be fixed, he fixed Bruce so Bruce ignores him. Any attempt at fixing would be met with a wall.
As for Stephanie he couldn’t twist her story to fit his narrative, so he just completely rejects her. 
Cass and Dick are his legacy. They were ‘fixed’. That’s why he values them.
Some food for thought, I personally don’t like this, I like good dad Bruce Wayne that values all his kids equally and tries to reach out to Jay because he genuinely wants to help his son but won’t put Gotham in danger because of himself. He pays attention to Damian, praises Tim, wants the best for Steph even if she isn’t his daughter.
But, when you think of the wider scale of Bruce’s actions in the comics (without thinking of the hand of the author) this pattern is a thing. I REALLY want to be wrong.
PLEASE COMICS LET BRUCE BE A OKAY DAD! NOT EVEN GOOD JUST OKAY IS FINE! JUST LET HIM LOVE HIS KIDS EQUALLY AND WITHOUT ANY STRINGS ATTACHED!
One day, for shits and giggles, Bruce asks the JL which of his kids they think has the highest kill count. Naturally everyone assumes it’s Bruces estranged Crime Lord son. Other’s assume it’s his literal ex-assassin child.
Bruce, whips out a PowerPoint with statistics and next to Tim’s name is just a question mark.
“I know it’s Tim,” Bruce finally says, “I just don’t have enough evidence to back it up.”
The JL is ready to defend this kid, because he doesn’t seem the type, but Red tornado, who was a den mother for the young Justice team, and flash, who has a great relationship with his family both nod along with bruce. Which is a relief, because Bruce swears he’s being gaslit by his third youngest. Bruce still loves him, but Tim is crazy(affectionate) and no one else seems to see it.
How DC felt turning Tim Drake from a justice-driven genius with a deep respect for Batman and an overwhelming desire to succeed despite his parents negligence to a psychotic teenager from the suburbs who takes his parents love for granted in favor of his obsession with Batman that eventually leads to him ruining their lives and still getting his way.
Every time someone says that Tim Drake discovered the identities of both Batman and Nightwing and became the third Robin because he was BORED an angel dies
So people really liked this one so I added abit more detail and tried to make some things stand out more and actually blended Damians one, only issue is that I still can’t figure out time colouring because for some reason I can’t work with lighter ish colours. And Damians still looking at the sky xxxx❤️❤️.
Okay so this is about the extent of my ability to draw, but I couldn’t help myself I like eyes.... especially the batboys eyes ❤️❤️❤️ (they don’t actually completely look like this in canon just little ideas I have on their appearance(also limited eye shapes cause I can literally just draw one .. ))
YES! YES! MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!
Duke Thomas looks after Tim Drake
Logically he doesn’t need to. Tim is Red Robin after all. A hero. And just like all heroes, they go through things. But the things Tim has been through?
Let’s just say they hit close to home.
Joker Junior—JJ—is a bit of an open secret in the Wayne household. Nobody talks about it, but everyone knows. Duke, a more recent addition, learns about it when he walks by Tim’s room one night, only to freeze as he catches the muffled sound of laughter. He knows that kind of laughter. It’s practically carved into his brain.
No warning is given before Duke busts into Tim room, expecting the worst. He finds Tim sitting on the floor, knees pulled up to his chest, laughing that terrible laugh.
“Tim!” Duke yells, panic spiking as he runs to his side. Had Joker broken in? Was Tim okay? He takes his shoulders and shakes him. Not again, please not again—
That seemed to be enough to snap Tim out of it, startling him lucid. “Duke?”
“Tim! You alright man? What happened—did Joker—”
Mortification dawns on Tim’s face, the detective immediately putting the pieces together. “Oh fuck. Sorry Duke I must’ve had a laughing fit. Sorry—someone should have warned you. God I’m so sorry.”
“You’re… you’re good? No Joker?” Duke moved away a bit, suddenly embarrassed by his reaction.
“No Joker. Sorry, this happens sometimes. Holdover from… well a bad run in with Joker when I was Robin. It um… was pretty messy.”
The explanation given after is… condensed, Duke suspects. Tim apologizes, knowing Duke’s own history with the joker. Duke tries to insist that’s bull, that he shouldn’t have to apologize for not telling him, but Tim gives a tight smile that says he doesn’t believe that.
Duke doesn’t push it. He’s not Dick, he doesn’t know how to make things like that better. After that night though, their dynamic seems to shift a bit.
Duke knows Tim is older than him, but that doesn’t matter. Whenever something Joker related comes up, Duke immediately volunteers himself to deal with it, no matter if it’s during the day or not. Duke is always happy to give a second pair of eyes to a case,
And secretly, while he likes making Tim (and everyone else) laugh, there’s something relieving when the laughter fades out and it stops. The pained smile on his mother’s face nowhere to be found.
For Tim’s credit, JJ hardly ever makes an appearance. Years on consistent therapy have helped. But healing is not a cure.
It’s after an all-hands-on-deck type mission that it happens. A laughing fit so hard the entire family wasn’t sure what to do. Tim JJ couldn’t stop. He couldn’t stop.
He laughs, stumbling through the manor, a concerned Wayne family following after. He smiles so hard, so painfully, clutching his stomach for air.
He wouldn’t stop, and eventually the hysterics laughter turned to choking as he laughed so hard he couldn’t breathe.
Duke holds him down while Dick runs and grabs a sedative.
Later, Dick would remark how bad it was. The worst he’d seen in years. But the episode ends, and the sedatives wear off, and Tim manages to slip out of the medbay without anyone realizing. Anyone except Duke, who immediately looks for him, and finds him on the roof.
“Hey man.”
“Hey Duke.” Tim responds, voice raspy from overuse.
“Doing alright?”
They talk for a bit. Voices hushed. Duke tries not to joke, knowing there’s been enough laughter for one night.
Eventually, Tim’s worries come out.
“I don’t want to be a pity case. I’m know I’m not delicate, that I’m not going to break. I just…” Tim pauses, “slip sometimes. And sometimes it scares me.”
And Duke turns his head to look out at the city. “You know, Tim, you give me hope.”
Tim lifts his head to give Duke a confused look.
“Hope for my parents. That maybe they might… get better. Even if some of it’s still there. I know I probably won’t ever get to see them normal again, but… it’s nice to have hope.”
Attempted an RR sketch. Turns out I can't keep all of his suits straight (lol), so it ended up being a weird amalgamation of his different looks.
I really like the hc of Bruce giving star stickers for those who behaved well (as well as they can be) and taking them if they misbehave, the kids make a competition out of it and make fun of those who lost a star.
Bruce: this week's stars goes to...
Batkids: *all looking at Bruce*
Bruce: Dick, Tim and Cass.
Damian: Father! I do not approve of such thing!
Bruce: you don't have to approve anything damian. Dick did a great work in Blüdhaven and didn't threaten more than 3 people, Tim completed his homework and helped me Crack two cases without any stalker tactics, and Cass helped Alfred bake which was very sweet.
Jason: I don't understand the rules to receive a star, but I'm with demon brat.
Duke: *raising his hand along with stephs* we didn't do anything wrong!
Bruce: you skipped patrol the whole week.
Steph: I was busy!
Bruce: *adding the stars to their cards* no you weren't, you were just lazy. *turns towards Jason and damian* you two do get one star taken away.
Damian: unbelievable! Father I will not allow it!
Jason: I behaved pretty well this week in my opinion.
Bruce: you threaten every villain we saw, waved your gun around like a maniac and had to be stopped twice from using the crowbar.
Jason: like I said pretty well behaved.
But this also extents to Sups. Clark has little stars that he gives batman when the man passed a whole JL meeting without insulting, indirect insulting and looking condescendingly or glaring at someone. He also has them taken away when he did those things.
Bruce: that wasn't a glare, I was merely looking.
Clark: B u scared Bart for the third time this week, and yes that was a glare.
Bruce: *crossing his arms* I think you are being unfair about this thing.
Clark: I'm sorry Bruce, but I have to take a star from you today.
Bruce: no.
Clark: *raising a brow* no?
Bruce: *starting to lightly jog away from clark* no! It's my star!
Clark: Bruce come back here!
I feel like Dick, Jason (or Tim) ans Duke would pretend to be power Rangers bc of their colors.
They would land next to Batman and perform a series of poses and say "I command the power of everything blue, Power Ranger Blue!" One by one just to be annoying.
Yeah batfam shenanigans
