#is....is that...tHe MANBAT?!

[bbbbbbbbatman]

Gotham has so many rogues and most of them don’t actually cause that much trouble in the grand scheme of things, so other than the really big ones, like joker, news about Gotham rogues can get pretty muddled outside the city which leads the JL to believing that Batman and Manbat are the same person and that their colleague sometimes turns into a giant bat monster but they don’t bring it up bc they think it’s a sensitive topic

Which eventually leads to a scenario like this mid combat when they’re getting pretty desperate:

Green Lantern: I know we’re not supposed to talk about it or whatever, but it would be really helpful if you could turn into a giant bat right now, spooky

Batman, having zero context for this comment, pausing mid fight to look at Hal like he just grew a second head: What the fuck are you talking about, Jordan?

Green Lantern, suddenly much less confident: Um…you know how you…turn into a giant bat?

Batman, utterly bewildered, turning to the other members but finding that he is clearly the only one out of the loop: what is happening right now

Just having fun drawing Manbat Tim.

A few side effects of Tim's new 'Bat Spleen' is a pair of pointy ears and teeth. At first, Tim tires to convince himself it's not that noticeable, but soon enough he's forced to grow out his hair again and keep his smiles tipped lipped, especially during press events.

Ma'alefa'ak, the people would like to know your top 10 monsters from less to most boink worthy, you're allowed 3 honorific mentions and no Johnstantine monster forms

in the spirit of Ma'al ranking the Green Lanterns, here's Ma'al's random opinions on most characters that pop up in DC top 10 monsters lists:

for the three honorific mentions:

Ma'al doesn't have a "top 10" because "nobody tops me unless I tell them to" and his opinions on who's most boinkable are susceptible to change from his mood, the vibes, the weather, the seasons, the alignment of the stars, etc.

the conflict has ended after finding the common ground of eating bugs

Give me a fic where Bruce is depressed over his last breakup (God knows which one) and Catwoman tries to uplift him by...setting him up on blind dates.

And of course most of the dates are his nemesis, he has a type after all.

They have hints that Cat somehow managed to set them up with Batman, even though he has a different voice modifier on and a wall with a small hole separates them, mostly the fact that Cat made a couple of bat related jokes.

Harley noticed immediately and laughed her ass off as a very robotic voice was scandalized about her cheating on Ivy for the date (she came as a joke though), and she simply gave him dating tips, it ended as a relationship trauma dump for both of them.

Selina inserts herself into the second date, Bruce asks her wtf she's doing, and she responds with "oh, Bane ditched, so I'm filling in-" and Batman loses it, because what do you mean you tried to bring in Bane Selina stop laughing, he broke my back and not like that-

Twoface doesn't realize it's Batman, but Harvey does realize it's Bruce after they talk about values, he's delighted to be talking to his ex friend, and really so is Bruce, they set a second date (Bruce is happy they got to talk after being no contact for a long while and promises to visit him in Arkham more often- Harvey is looking for wedding rings)

Killer Croc is ridiculously alright as a date, he brings flowers which is a bonus, and Bruce can see through a small hole that he has a bowtie on. They end up settling on talking about animal facts (and Bruce has been dying to share Damian's). Catwoman tells them they should adopt Manbat and have an animal themed family, (Bruce rolls his eyes BC well, Batfamily, but Waylon seems enthusiastic about it. They set a second date, because why not, and Batman explains that Manbat is a full grown man so not adopting material)

He really wanted to hate the Riddler date, especially after how smug the other was about getting a date with Batman, but unfortunately, it was rather pleasant. Filled with riddles of course, most were of a romantic nature, but as they went on, they got corny, then cornier, and by the end Bruce found them amusing, and kinda cute. To the point where Ed gets a chuckle out of him, the riddler falls from his chair in shock, but makes it his life mission to hear it again.

They don't set a second date, but every time they fight after that day the Riddler interprets them as dates, Batman gets a big ol' judging Robin stare when the prize to one of the riddles the next week is a bouque of flowers and a "xx-xxx-xxx call me?" Note.

there's an extremely public batman is bruce wayne reveal but instead of actually acknowledging it, he just mansplains, manipulates, manwhores his way out of it

Interviewer: Wait! Mr. Wayne, if I could have a moment of your time. You and Batman--

Brucie: Manbat? Yeah, I think we fucked once, why?

ALRIGHT peeps, Here is the updated Manbat Tim design. Should I draw him with bangs/hair or without?

[the-fyre-flie]

Batman but he's a weird bat hybrid like Manbat, just luckier and a fruit bat rather than a vampire bat. A silly nonsense au where Bruce and Kirk were both infected with the bat DNA.

A little gross and body-horror ish at the end :3c

-

The first few months of being infected seemed... almost normal. Bruce has identified exactly what Kirk had jabbed him with, and while fruit bat DNA certainly wasn't supposed to be in a human, it didn't seem to have any negative effects. Kirk had been shipped off to Arkham, but again, no weird effects from the vampire bat DNA he injected in himself. Of course, Bruce was heavily monitoring both of them, asking for frequent updates and blood samples. But after 4 months of Dr Langstrom having no ill reactions or even weird bat induced break out attempts, Bruce assumed things were... fine.

Then it wasn't fine.

It started with a growing craving for fruits. Alfred had brought down at least 3 different fruit salads to the Batcave in the past 12 hours alone, and Bruce was still unsatisfied. As he bit into his 7th apple, he stared at the bite marks he left behind. Since when did he have such pronounced fangs?

As he prodded at his fangs, nearly pricking himself, an alert suddenly popped up on the Batcomputer. Langstrom escaped Arkham. But the beast in the video of his escape was monstrous and nothing like frail, meek Kirk Langstrom. A large bat like thing, huge leathery wings and fur bursting from a torn straight jacket, fangs bared at the camera as its ears pinned back. As the feed cut out, Bruce grasped the desk in front of him, and strange pain ripping through his body. Behind him, he could hear Alfred talking. Or was it above him? He could hear Alfred, who was currently multiple stories above him in the manor. That shouldn't be possible...

Pushing through the pain, Bruce pulled on his cowl, the batsuit far more uncomfortable than normal. The heavy Kevlar weave and tight body armor felt like it was smaller than normal, the back and spine feeling horribly painful. As the Batmobile started it, Bruce gritted his too-sharp teeth, the sound loud and sharp in his ears... ears that were poking through his cowl? Gripping the wheel tighter, he had to just keep going. Man-Bat escaped, and Batman has to stop him.

Just as Bruce located Man-Bat, he was practically indisposed. He couldn't move, couldn't even thing, the agony of *something* trying to rip through the skin of his back becoming far too much. As he stumbled out of the Batmobile, his suit had already sent a distress signal to his family of vigilantes, an alert that he was in an unnatural amount of pain and needed help.

Leaning heavily against the Batmobile, he could hear the flap of wings above him, Man-Bat circling above head like he was stalking prey. Letting out a gutual noise, Bruce could feel something tearing, bursting past his spine and unfurling with a bloody, sticky squelch. Bat wings. Sleek, stained red from his own blood, but just as horrific as Man-Bats. The bat DNA that had infected both of them has finally kicked in, turning poor Kirk into a monstrous vampire bat while Bruce was luckier enough to keep his sanity as a fruit bat.
