20 chapter 150,000 words of just this.

Dick who is fighting with Bruce loses his shit hits Bruce way to hard. Bruce falls down dead.

(He's not really dead just unconscious Dick doesn't check)

Damian and Tim witness this as Dick falls to his knees crying because he just killed his dad in a fit of anger and omg I'm a murderer whole thing. (They believe Dick saying he's dead and somehow miss him not checking)

Damian and Tim in this very moment deciding you are no longer my enemy but my partner in crime.

They kidnap Dick and just start running.

Leading to cartoon level shenanigans. All the while Dick is sobbing his poor little heart out while hog tied in the back seat.

They are running not just from the remaining bats but everyone else who might think to arrest Dick especially since he is willing to go to prison for this.

They are dodging the league of assassins who Damian believes is his mother hunting them down for killing for her beloved. (Its cause Bruce called saying three of his sons ran away for some reason, one of which is Damian)

Talia who is just trying to figure of why her kid ran away from both his parents and is getting smoke bombs flung at her.

Jason who catches up to them in Mexico can't even get a word out before Replacment and the demon brat knock him out and throw him off a relatively high cliff.

Stephanie sent by Barbra gets punted in the Pacific Ocean and has to be fished out by Superman.

Cut in flashes of Cass who is in the shadow realm with no idea the shenighans happening.

Dick having a full on mental breakdown in a rat infested hotel room letting out cartoonist level sobs while Damain pats his head listening to Tim is standing in front of a murder board discussing where they go next.

Dick: I'm the worst person in the world, I ruin everything I touch. This is why everyone should leave me to die.

Damian:

Tim:

Damain: Yes Richard very traumatic. What about Moscow?

Tim: Perfect

World trotting, knocking out, bombs are exploding everywhere.

Tim is feeding Dick ice cream drying his tears while Damian fights a hellhound in the background.

Bruce is just sobbing in the Batcave because his son hit him and decided to run away with his brothers.

Everyone think Dick decided to hide the other two and is the mastermind.

Cut to Dick on an island wrapped in a weighted blanket talking to a blackmailed therapist.

Other side of the house Damian and Tim have grown out hair, Tim sporting a full on beard and are armed to the teeth willing to fight god, with the powers of Anime and their need to guard their brother.

Finally Bruce tracks them down Dick stops sobbing coming out of his emotional meltdown and Bruce realizes his youngest are the greatest threat imaginable and his eldest is a fucking moron.

"You're so silly!" Dick would say, this wide eyed, cute little kid doing backflips on top of The Riddler's tied up body. "So funky, sooo goofy!"

And Bruce would nod very solemnly. "Yes. We are so so silly. Now please help me defuse this active bomb, thank you, sweetheart."

And to this day, 'silly' has been embedded into Batman's vocabulary. Flash wants to stop an alien invasion by running circles around the space ship like a hedgehog? What a silly plan that absolutely won't work. Damian almost falls off a building trying to catch and domesticate a pigeon? Stop being so silly, Dami, before you hurt yourself. Jason literally dies? It's okay. It's okay. He was just being silly. Accidents happen. He'll come home soon, right as rain. He's always been silly like that.

You know those posts about one of Bruce’s kids getting kidnapped and him having no idea which kid they have based on the vague descriptions he’s given? Well now I can’t only imagine Bruce getting the dreaded call and immediately pulling out a guess who board filled entirely with his kids. Like

kidnapper: we have one of your children

Bruce: I have so many of those you need to be more specific

kidnapper: the loud and annoying one

Bruce, flipping down Cass and Duke: that does not help as much as you think it does

kidnapper: well he has black hair?

Bruce, flips down Steph: keep going

kidnapper: uhhhh? He’s short?

Bruce, flips down Dick and Jason leaving Tim and Damian: more specific

kidnapper: he’s been condescending and judgmental since we got him

Bruce: yeah they both tend to do that

kidnapper: he keeps throwing around words I don’t understand

Bruce, realizing that Damian and Tim are significantly more similar than he thought: uhh more specific?

kidnapper: more?? look just wore us the mon— WHERE’D HE HIDE A KATANA???

Bruce: ah you have Damian

[catsandwitches]

Jason: *texts dick* theres this dumbass fucking fly in the throes of death ON MY BED dick: ….judt kill it Jason: what kind of heartless bastard would I hve to be to kill a dying fruit fly dick: … dick: the kind that regularly kills real people?????? Jason: but they’re bad people. This thing’s only sin is being a fucking dumbass who made it to where I can’t lay down in bed dick: it’s two am. I’m going to bed. Next time you text me, it better be a real emergency two hours later: Jason: the bitch dead dick: I hate you

the way Martha and Johnathan Kent in Superman 2025 are just two ordinary farmers from the midwest

they're older, they struggle with their phones, their home is run down and their farm humble, they're not Hollywood looking, they have accents and kind smiles

the way Clark calls them Ma and Pa

these two found Clark as a baby in a field, they looked past their fear and saw a baby that needed love and they gave him that love, they did everything they could for Clark

they gave him love

and the Clark we see? he's a reflection of them, of hope and love and what it means to be human

they dont have a lot of screen time but they left an impact that you feel through the film

they're not Kal-El's parents, but they are Clark Kent's parents

everybody say "thank you superman 2025 for bringing truly irredeemable villains back with lex luther!"

he is a cold blooded killer. he has pathetic tantrums and throws pens on the floor. he only wears black. he delivers a fantasically evil villain monologue. he cries pathetically when beaten. his motivation is not related to some tragic backstory, but is simply jealousy twisted into something so deplorably evil. he is bald.

this movie really is All That™️ and then some.

some Superman (2025) letterboxd reviews I wanted to share.

[catsandwitches]

When Clark said “he’s not even a very good dog but he’s all alone and he’s probably scared so i have to go get him” I was so happy because someone in that writers room truly understands superman better than we’ve seen in a long time. This is the essence of superman - that every living being deserves kindness and empathy and love simply because they are alive. Clark is the kind of guy who’d cry when he got stung by a bee not because it hurt but because the bee died when it stung him and someone in the writers room knew that and made sure it came through.

Been thinking about how the new Superman movie did a really good job of giving Clark interests beyond “Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow.” He likes pop punk rock. His favorite meal is breakfast for dinner. Clark does a little dance when he gets the front cover byline. He likes to doom-scroll. Unclear if he’s a dog guy. His girlfriend makes him hot cocoa when he’s sad. So often Superman in film has zero personality beyond tortured alien that must guide humanity. Giving him these small details made the character feel so much more real. He really is just a guy doing his best.

i am head over heels in love with lois lane

Mad props to James Gunn for giving Lois agency. She saves Superman! She figures out what’s happening with Lex. At no point in the movie does Clark have to save Lois. It’s so nice getting to watch a woman just be a brilliant badass. I also think this is the first time I’ve seen Lois interact with the Kents. When she tells Clark she loves him too it’s because she’s seen him as Superman hero of Metropolis and Clark Kent from Smallville.
