I'm sure one of the Batkids has tried that whole "I'm locking you in this room to go sacrifice myself" schtick with Bruce and assured themselves that the plan would work because Bruce was 1) already injured and 2) down to just his armor, no utility belt or weapons/devices.

but what they didn't account for was the fact that Bruce would absolutely, 100% bust down that door with his bare hands, splitting the knuckles open and fracturing his fingers and ruining his gloves and armor if needed. he would break that door and probably the wall if it meant getting to his Robin before he did something dumb like pull a last-minute self-sacrifice plan.

ok but like. (about trinity codependency post). they would absolutely Try but they would *not* be able to actually Stop. I can see them being really good too, respecting lois's boundaries and all that until one of them gets hurt and then its fuck no they need their emotional support/regulation intimacy

and it could totally turn into a situation where 'respecting lois's boundaries' turns into 'resenting lois for keeping Kal from us'

AND how it would affect team dynamics. the trinity is just a little too in tune with each other. a little too in sync.

i could totally see this as an outsider league perspective or even a lois perspective where she realizes she absolutely does not want to be involved in this dynamic in any way.

and how would Bruce's people feel about it? lowkey I feel like the batclan would support it just because it keeps Bruce functioning much better. like you take two/one of them from the others? you get absolutely feral trinity and no one wants that.

because to the others? Kal/Bruce/Diana is theirs and no body gets in between them.

Exactly! How do you upend that kind of relationship?

I wish I could write this from Lois’ POV but I am still ducking the character bashing accusations :/

SuperWonderBat + Clois: First time Lois meets Diana and Bruce being The Trinity, it's because she decided to drop by Clark's apartment with shitty Chinese food after a lead fell through and she suddenly had the night off. Stepping into Clark's apartment (engaged and finally in the know but still a recent development- they also still live separately) she finds Diana in one of his old college sweatshirts, a pair of oversized flannel pajama pants (also clearly stolen from Clark, her legs stretched across Bruce's lap, her head on Clark's shoulder. Bruce has his lounge wear, the clothing clearly his own (which. Lois wonders does Bruce actually has his very own drawer of clothing at Clark's place? (The answer is yes, and it's shared with Diana, not that she uses it as she just steals Bruce's and Clark's clothing always), his hand on Diana's feet, holding a glass of red wine, while the trio watch bad soap operas, eat Thai takeout and rest on the couch.

It's stuns Lois, the casual intimacy, the comfort between the trio. It leaves her uneasy even as Clark's welcomes her and Diana and Bruce visibly close themselves off, going from the most relaxed Lois had ever seen them to making their excuses, their faces giving smiles that seem fake only after having seen the real thing moments before. It's also the first time Lois feels like an unwelcome intruder in Clark's life, the one where he shares everything with Diana and Bruce, and never with her, never the hard things.

Later, she asks, hard-faced if Clark has ever slept with either of them, expecting an easy no. Of course, Clark goes sheepish, and explains the alien sex pollen incident and the andromeda moon dust accident that affected the whole founders group (aside from J'onn apparently) or the Poison Ivy incident or the- Lois cuts him off. He explains nothing has ever happened while they were dating or together, but it's a poor prize indeed for Lois, the memory the trios bodies pressed together in casual platonic (ha!) Intimacy.

(Otherwise known as I have brain worms about this and also pls write more superwonderbat being codependent pls??? 👀)

actually if I was doing a Trinity polycule/Superwonderbat fic, I’d be so fucking evil. I’d make it super casual, but also so subtly co-dependent, that the physical intimacy and emotional intimacy don’t even click to them until Clark starts getting serious with Lois and she finds out what they do and (rightfully) puts her foot down.

and then Clark tries to stay away from them Like That. just Superman, in meetings or briefings, and Clark when they’re shooting the shit, but never Kal in Diana’s lap again, when she runs her fingers through his curls. never pressed so tightly to Bruce’s chest he’s worried about his rib integrity. it’s all gone, all at once.

that’s how they find out how codependent/toxic/whatever they are. when they try to stop.

conversations overheard through the batkid com lines pt 6

Jason: hey, Nightwing, you still on this line?

Dick: *slightly strained* yeah hey, we're here, what's up? i thought you and Red Robin were on a stakeout?

Jason: yeah we just got a question, we're trying to settle a debate.

Dick: go for it.

Jason: Tim asked which terrorist attack i thought had the most 'aura', and now we're arguing over their different aesthetics.

Dick: oh for fucks sake.

Jason: now i said- what the fuck's that reaction for?

Dick: you guys have got to stop having those kinds of conversations on patrol, dude. last week Vicky Vale released an article about how Robin and Red Robin were recorded by civilians discussing which rogues were most likely to be transphobic.

Damian: i still believe Joker would be an ally.

Dick: -shut up Robin. one of these days you guys're gonna get us all cancelled on twitter.

*a few beats of silence*

Jason: ok so anyway, i said 9/11,

Dick, groaning: Hood.

Damian: what's 9/11?

Jason: ...sorry what?

Damian: 9/11. what is it.

Dick: *loud sigh* just a reminder, Robin, we're supposed to be tracking a drug cartel right now.

Jason: shut the fuck up Dick he doesn't know what 9/11 is- TIM FUCK OFF stop trying to use my com, join the call yourself!

Tim, very distantly: TELL HIM I HAVE A POWERPOINT ON ALL THE CONSPIRACIES, TELL HIM- *grunt*

Jason: -said fuck OFF. Damian we really need to have a conversation about what exactly the league's education for you entailed, because a lot of stuff got left out.

Damian: is this going to be like when you taught me about the omegaverse? because i didn't like that. Nightwing i found the truck by the way, pinging you my location.

Dick: hold on- fuck the drug cartel, Hood you told him about the omegaverse?!

*a beat*

Dick: did he just fucking disconnect from the line-?!

Jason wants to sit on the couch too!

A goblin and an elf have decided to defy tradition and get married. Their ceremony will be held in the magical forest in accordance with elven tradition.

I'm immediately reminded Baby Doll from Batman Animated series

Her whole gimmick was that she was an adult woman stuck in the body of a five year old because of a medical condition

Dickie who got turned into a talon when he was really young (because he was about to die or something) so he's just a tiny immortal child that will stay small. Now a tiny immortal adult calling his little siblings "little wing" and "little bat" and they're just like "uh huh"

This guts me bc like. Does he have the mentality of an adult? Or does he keep the mentality of a child?

Then what happens when everyone he loves gets older and dies?

I can’t think abt the logistics of talon dick too much bc it makes me sad 😭

[leo-forgot-to-create]

What if Dick was nonchalant about his death? Yeah, he died and he can't do pills now, but he was tortured for awhile beforehand and then attacked by his dad and then made to go on a mission and then Spryal and everything that happened there. So what if Dick's death is just a thing. That happened to him.

Side note, what if Dick went to Donna and was like we both died :D while Donna is horrified going what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck. Dick is just like twinsies!

I think that would be its own trauma response tbh. Like he’d just ignore that it happened.

Then he’d make jokes to try and cope with it. And that makes everyone around him So Concerned.

[leo-forgot-to-create]

Dick Grayson but every wound he gets and people worry about him, he just states that he has “had worse”

Beat hard in the head repeatedly?

“Had worse”

Stabbed in the abdomen?

“Had worse”

But the only thing he doesn’t say that for is when he has to peal a fake moustache off after a case

The idea of him being so dramatic abt peeling off a fake mustache, but just shrugging away a stab wound is cracking me up actually.

next gen stealth just dropped

[leo-forgot-to-create]

here's how I make dick being g 8 work for me (if my math's correct)

Grwyson fall

Dick=8

Bruce=24

Tim=2

Dick becomes ribin=6months later

Dicl stops being robin

Dick=16-(nearly 17)

Bruce=32

Jason becomes robin

Dick =17

Bruce=33

Jason=13

Jason dies

Dick 19

Bruce 35

Jason 15

Time becomes robin ( after like 5 is months)

Dick =19

Bruce =35

Jason=15

Tim 13

Damian shows up

Dick 22

Bruce 38

Jason 18

Tim 16

Damian 10

Overall age gap

Bruce and dick have a 16yr age gap

Bruce and Jason have a 20 yr age gap

Bruce and tim have a 22 Yr age gap

Dick and Jason have a 4/5 Yr age gap

Dick and tim have a 6/7yr age gap

Dick and damian have a 12 yr age gap

Jason and tim have 2 yr age gap

Jason and damian have a 8 yr age gap

Tim and damian have a 6 Yr age gap

This is my personal Timeline ( tbf I do fiddle with it especially when it comes to specific events)

As you can see dick being 8 is perfectly plausible, I meant here are definitely people who could remember being two, who's to say tim can't?? Also it was likely his first experience with death and mildly traumatising I feel its likely it would stick with him. Tbh the only iffy part is Jason's age if anything but oh well.

Literally my only gripe is that I personally like having a smaller age gap between Dick & Jason and then Tim & Damian, but literally everything else is so spot on with what I usually stick to as well. But I mean so long as it works for the story I feel like it’s whatever works best for the author.

I personally just don’t like when the boys have big age gaps between each other. But I also tend to make Dick become Nightwing fairly young so that tends to move up the timeline in general

[leo-forgot-to-create]

ohhh full league member twerp of a robin + villains and heroes mass team up event

dick gets out of school just in time to suit up and saunter on over where everyone's at each other's throats and start giving orders. the gotham and gotham-lite (re: green arrow lmao) folks seem to think this is normal. the justice league is resigned at this point, they just want to go home

the not-clinically-insane people are absolutely baffled by the colorful shortstack hanging off of the likes of bane like he's monkey bars

Not him using bane like monkey bars 😭

I want the general public to witness firsthand Robin giving orders to the rest of the JL, and he’s like a tiny 10 year old whose voice hasn’t even started cracking yet. Everyone in Gotham? Thinks it’s totally normal. The rest of the world? Thinks the JL is insane and participating in child endangerment.

“And Billy is in foster care? Hmm. Very tempting to adopt a brother for Dick. Very tempting indeed.”

Bruce googling “does my traumatized adoptee need a sibling” and sending Captain Marvel and Robin on missions together to make sure they really get along. like socializing dogs lol

Billy joins the family before Jason so when Jason comes along and Bruce gives him Robin there’s a double whammy of

Billy: I’m not worthy of Robin :(

Dick: I’m being fired :(

Not sending them on missions together to socialize them like dogs 😭 he would so do that

As for the Robin thing, I like to think in this scenario that it wouldn’t be Dick getting fired. Maybe he just wants to take on a new vigilante name once he’s a teenager so he can have his own identity outside of Batman and then passes on Robin to Jason.

Because if it is a firing situation, Jason is going to have both Billy and Dick hating his fucking guts and being passive aggressive to him. They’re both gonna be like 15 and Jason is gonna be 13 and Bruce isn’t going to be able to eloquently explain why his two older sons no longer live in the manor and also why they hate Jason so much.
