#there is a hamato loose in metropolis. she is armed with a mystic bat and a crane license and is about to make it everyone's problem

[void-writing]

I've dreamed of Danny Phantom, Batman, and TMNT in a weird mash-up. Now I'm remembering the Batman and TMNT crossover and the moment where Batman tells Mickey to press all the buttons of the Batmobile.

This is Tucker. Bruce giving the go and Tucker unleashing havoc as he presses all of the Batmobile's buttons.

God yes.

Tucker would be in hog heaven if he got to sit in the passenger's seat of the Batmobile, especially since my version of it has like...actual buttons and dials and switches that make very pleasant sounds when you interact with them. The Primal Need to Push Every Button would be so hard to resist.

And it's funny that you mention the Teetles because I've got a RiseTMNT/Superman crossover in the works (part because I physically need to get it on paper or I will explode, part as a way of getting the writing juices flowing properly again for CiM). It's still very young but it involves college junior April scoring an internship at the Daily Planet and the chaos that follows.

I have plans to include a tease at the end where Clark gets a video call from Bruce because some weird reptilian meta-humans(?) are running around Gotham for some reason and have just broken into his Cave. You know that scene from Batman vs. TMNT where the Turtles are running around the Cave (well, mostly Mikey and Donnie) like kids in a candy store? This. This is exactly what it looks like. Except all of them are losing their goddamn minds.

April gets on the call because Donnie is physically vibrating with glee about how he correctly deduced Batman's identity (because you can't tell me he wouldn't in an instance where DC and ROTTMNT exist in the same universe. He doesn't go to school. He has to occupy his time growing up somehow) and he absolutely needs to call April to gloat. So he does and April calls Clark, awkwardly confessing that her little brothers are up to some Shenanigans in the Bat Cave--and yes, the little brothers in all but blood she mentioned are actually humanoid mutant turtle ninjas, they're harmless, she promises--and gets looped into the call. Cue indignant questioning from April as to why the boys are in New Jersey of all places and April demanding Leo make a portal so that they can all have the conversation in person rather than in a janky four-way video call XD

I'm just having a lot of fun imagining what Rise!April and Clark's dynamic would be like and have come to the conclusion that it would look something like this:

--from Clark's end, and this:

--from April's (mainly regarding Superman but same difference).

And I just find that incredibly entertaining to think about.
