When the reclusive billionaire finally enters the spotlight you bet journalists Clark Kent wants to know what pushed him.

This is loosely inspired from the battinson and corenswet’s superman, a possible scene in the batman 2 perhaps? 👀

Damian had a realization the first time he was handed an infant during a Robin involved emergency, where the rest of the bats were getting civilians out of a burning building, and they had a spare baby that they couldn’t find the parent of. 

What was the realization? Well in Damian’s opinion, babies are very very similar to his foster kittens. The ear piercing whaling of the little girl made Damian cringe while desperately trying his best to comfort the thing *cough* baby. If there’s anything Damian knows best it’s how to take care of animals. And at this age babies are pretty much the same thing. So he treats the baby girl as if she was a terrified kitten, with slight adjustments. Damian stays back to get away from the smoke, holding the little girl closer to his chest, and speaking in soft comforting voices, rocking her slowly as he had seen mothers do before. 

And while the rest of his family pulled civilians out of the building, Damian sang a sad lullaby that Damian had heard in a movie that he had watched with Grayson. Something weird about an elephant with large ears, but it involved a traveling circus and it was Grayson’s favorite, so Damian endured it all of the many times Grayson played it.

When the rest of the bats (Bruce, Nightwing and Red Robin) came back to where they had left Robin, they found Damian singing a lullaby to a sleeping baby in his arms. And if they recorded the scene before Damian realized they were there, he didn’t need to know that. (He also didn’t need to know how Dick cried at the footage later in the cave, and how Bruce sulked about not getting to hold Damian when he was a baby.)

I think anyone that studies medicine with Damian would lowkey hate his ass.

Not in a mean way, but in a petty why-aren't-you-struggling-like-me type of way. I mean, thanks to Robin and the league Damian is light years ahead of everyone on terms of experience and it would show.

Half the class is puking their guts out the first time they see a patient with an open fracture. Damian has been there, done that, seen that and worse. He's eating m&m's in the back.

They're all practicing making sutures until late. Damian is like "No, I don't need to join you. I could suture with my eyes closed" and then when someone is like "prove it, rich-boy" that mf actually blindfolds his eyes and sutures perfectly using four different techniques.

He also passes everything with flying colors! Because of course, the guy can't just be rich, good looking and famous, he has to be smart too.

And it just gets worse when he starts his actual residency.

Nothing shakes him! Thirty hour shifts? He doesn't even yawn. Extreme stress during a surgery gone awry? Damian is the one telling the other members of the surgical team to stay calm. Violent patient? They don't even get to call security, Damian has the guy pinned already.

And it would be easier to not get jealous of him if he somehow was a souless blood sucking asshole. But Damian is a good person, awkward and standoffish but always willing to help. He's there for whatever people need. He aids nurses, listens to patients, conforts victims. He sits with people for the bad news and when someone dies he gets this sad faraway look that shows he cares.

And it's just so unfair.

There is one fact in Oliver Queens' life that has never changed, from children to middle school to high school and beyond, Oliver has always had the strength to lift Bruce Wayne.

It's not an uncommon sight for Oliver to pick Bruce by the waist during parties and just... walk away with him. It's happened less and less with the more kids Bruce has gotten, B being the responsible adult and the way out for the kids in that situation. But that doesn't mean that it's stopped by any degree of the word.

On the other side of the coin is the fact that the Green Arrow has never tried to lift Batman before. He's a hero with decades under his belt and, most importantly, he's Ollie's coworker. Oliver might act like a dick to his friends at times, but he knows when and how to respect someone's boundaries. Plus a situation has never come up where he's had to bodily pick up Batman before.

All bets are off the table when he finds out the Bruce and Batman are the same person.

Batman about to give his mission brief when he hasn't slept in days and is injured? Nope, he's coming home with Ollie actually.

The kids have been talking about a surprise movie night for weeks and B is now making plans with Clark and Diana for that night? Good like going through with them from Oliver shoulder as he hauls ass to the zeta tubes!

I’ve always found the modern interpretation of Green Lanterns being space cops a bit weird. Personally I’ve always seen them more as being space paladins rather than police. A noble order of knights given authority and “divine” power to help others and do good for its own sake.

It’s also a better justification for why there are so few Green Lanterns in each sector. As space cops, it makes no sense for one or two Lanterns to police hundreds of star systems. Space paladins on the other hand, who simply travel and offer aid when and where they can, makes a lot more sense. Just saying. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤓💚

So I had a funny green lantern Hal thought. How often he probably spreads existential dread unintentionally or obliviously!

I mean, the man’s entire job model involves traveling the far reaches of the galaxy and meeting everyone and anything. Sure, the bat family has seen some shit and the league has aliens, but nobody travels as often or as far as Hal. Have you ever thought of writing something funny where Hal is just living life obliviously and other people are processing in the wake of whatever knowledge he dropped? Or something where people SEE hal on duty with aliens and realize that he’s super knowledgeable and talking about stuff they might not even know about because it’s so irrelevant to earth? Could be shippy or not, but I’m sure the wreckage would he hilariously either way!

I do actually really like this idea and I might hold onto it if you don't mind 🤔🤔

This works perfectly, 'cause it’s so easy to forget that Hal is actually a really clever guy, especially when the fandom likes to paint him as a dumbass who gets dunked on by the Batfam. (Barry gets this treatment too and that hurts me emotionally I love them)

I like the idea of Hal just telling everyone about his wild weekend in space, but he’s like dropping some of the most insane, existential, completely unhinged shit. All of it’s said with the same energy as a man telling you about his fishing trip with the boys. And the boys are the other Lanterns who are nodding along because they’ve seen his shit in real time.

the only way to escape batman is to confuse the hell out of him

(i couldn't stop thinking about this bit from psych - under the cut!)

Dick: wait- does this mean that the og JL is just one big family at this point?

Bruce: ... what?

Dick: I mean- I married Wally, who's now leaglly Barry's and Hal's, which makes them your in-law. Jason married Roy, which makes Oliver your in-law, and the rest of you are dating a Super, I feel like that does make the JL a family business

Bruce: ...

Bruce: nO-

Hey so I did NOT need this today, someone give Jason a hug :(

i feel like a lot of Jason and Bruce's relationship can only be explained if you understand the depth of Jason's isolation while living with Bruce and the depths of codependency the dynamic fostered.

Unlike Jason's predecessor and his successors, Jason never had a superhero team. He wasn't deeply connected to the superhero community. He didn't really even have friends. His world was school, the manor, and Batman and Robin. Robin, being a piece of his identity and his first sense of belonging. Batman and Robin as a dynamic requires synchronicity and a lack of questioning. It's about doing what Batman says. Jason, who lived in constant fear of being abandoned again, or kicked out, did his damnedest to not step a toe out of line. Jason was looking for safety and a parent who loved him, and Bruce stepped into that role in a way Jason had never experienced before. (mind you, Bruce himself was dealing with the conflicts regarding his relationship with Dick and no longer have Dick's presence.)

When Bruce and Jason started to have tensions themselves over 'excessive force' and the Garzona's situation, that read to Jason like rejection. And rejection, in a codependent relationship is cause for severe alienation and isolation. Jason had zero people to turn to; and the single person he loved most in the world didn't trust him anymore. Bruce had ripped the little bit of emotional safety that Jason felt away. So Jason went to find a mother who might want him.

point is: Jason Todd can never leave Bruce Wayne. Not in the way his other siblings can. Bruce Wayne is the center of his universe, and the only person Jason ever fully trusted. Jason wrapped his identity into being loved by Bruce, into being the son of Bruce. Into being Batman's Robin. Which is why being replaced felt like confirmation of all of his worst fears. It's why nobody else seems to understand the depths of this betrayal the way Jason does. Jason thinks his relationship with Bruce is normal. He thinks that Tim has replaced Jason in this codependent bond. That Tim has somehow played the part better than Jason did.

It's why Red Hood can't ever move on without Bruce proving to him that he is worth killing the Joker for. It's why Jason keeps crawling back to the batfamily despite the constant cycle of abuse and conflict. Bruce is gravity, Bruce is the sun, and Jason's world revolves around him and what Bruce says about him. If Bruce says Jason isn't worth it, then he's not. If Bruce says Jason is, then he is. They're soOOoO "Love me like a god and I'll betray you like a man" "I bet on losing dogs" "i'm going to die in the universe you loved me in (before you decided you didn't)" "I was fifteen when you left and I have been fifteen ever since" "losing your faith in your parents feels like losing faith in your religion"

@prlssprfctn <- bless you for this panel <3

Tim, frustrated because he can’t find something important: I don’t know how I keep losing all my stuff

Jason: ikr, first your spleen, now this

Tim: okay I didn’t lose my spleen I know exactly where it is. Ra’s has it.

Dick: has… as in… present tense?

Tim: yeah he keeps it in a jar.

Jason: oh. That’s what that was.

Dick: WHY ARE YOU BOTH SO CALM ABOUT THIS?

Tim: it’s not like they can put it back. So… like he can keep it cause it’s not like I can use it.

Dick, completely baffled and horrified: *unidentifiable noises of concern*

[grasshoppersoup]

the closest Bruce and Dick ever came to their identities being revealed was when somebody made a side-by-side comparison of an interview that Dick and Bruce did together and one that Nightwing and Batman did together. in each, Dick is asked if he finds Batman hot, and vice versa Nightwing is asked about Brucie Wayne. synced up, it is eerily identical the way Dick/Nightwing gives a shit eating grin before responding ‘oh i would PAY to sleep with that man’ followed by Bruce/Batman giving the exact same flash-look of horror and delivering a lightning fast smack upside Dick/Nightwing’s head. the clip goes viral online and Dick laughs for months

[grasshoppersoup]

Headcannon, I think it would be really funny if the batkids get bruce childish Batman merch as a joke and Bruce uses it unironically. Like he will just have those Batman bed sheets because Jason and dick thought it would be a funny Christmas present and like what’s he going to do, not use it?

He has Batman socks and neither the JL or random criminals can figure if it’s a part of his costume or if he’s just that self absorbed. Turns out it’s just the only pair of socks Bruce could find and he just has to roll with it.
