#Batman's flock

[capnko]

I like to think whenever Two-Face kidnaps Gotham's beloved prince Bruce Wayne, Brucie would use the time he was with his former friend to catch up on sleep, because even though Harvey's a villain and all, he still associates him with warmth and safety, and he knows that Two-Face/Harvey would never actually harm him.

Two-Face would just let him. Maybe he'll start reading a book, with Bruce leaning on him with Harvey's arm wrapped around him, until either Batman's flock or the GCPD show up, or Alfred just pays up the small sum (because 5 million bucks is a small sum for the Waynes) demanded and then Two-Face would just, let Bruce go. When it's Alfred paying, Bruce will even give the villain a hug and/or a kiss on the cheek before leaving.

:) I just really like BruHarvey/TwoBats

Hi, Hello, Yes

If I were to hypothetically make the batfamily into harpies. Hypothetically what would you all think would fit each of them?

This does include Bruce. Because I just think it'd be hilarious if people mistook him for a bat and the kids are just wheezing on the floor while laughing.

Batfamily members I am talking about:

Bruce Wayne

Dick Grayson

Barbara Gordon

Jason Todd

Cassandra Cain

Stephanie Brown

Tim Drake

Duke Thomas

Damian Wayne

Alfred Pennyworth

Gotham citizens would crowdfund an assassination to kill the joker i just know it

I know it’s a little late, but I learned this year that May is both Asian American/Pacific Islander Heritage Month and Jewish Heritage Month, so here’s the Bats.

From left to right-

Bruce Wayne/Batman (Ashkenazi Jewish), Kate Kane/Batwoman (Ashkenazi Jewish), Minkhoa Khan/Ghost-Maker (Singaporean), Cassandra Wayne/Batgirl (Chinese), Damian Wayne/Robin (Chinese & Ashkenazi Jewish) and Bao Pham/Clownhunter (Vietnamese).

i love to imagine bruce's internal monologue every time he looks at talia bc in my head it's just him going like this

but outwardly he just pretends his ex isn't the hottest, deadliest woman on the planet

[askthelovenest]

His big nose, bird aesthetic, and intelligence has bewitched me.

I'll finish this thought properly later but Batman AU where Bruce sees ghosts

He's always been able to since he was a kid, even used to talk to them until he stopped being so little and imaginary friends were a less acceptable reason to be talking to the air. He thinks it might be an inherited trait, but his memories with his parents are so fuzzy by now and he never did work up the nerve to ask Alfred, so.

He just lives his life like this. Solves crimes 90% of the time with his own skills and intellect, and occasionally gets help from an aggrieved ghost.

And then he goes to Haly's Circus. The Graysons die, all three, in the middle of their act, but only one sticks around. Little nine-year-old Dick hovers over his parents' bodies, shoving fruitlessly at people he can no longer touch when the cops come to process the scene.

Bruce lets himself be herded out with the crowds, but can't help staring at the too-small ghost from the corners of his eyes when he returns as batman not too much later. Nor can he ignore when the kid starts popping up all over Gotham, fury sparking off his blurry edges and well on his way to becoming something much more malevolent.

It's always been his rule not to get involved beyond an occasional errand or solving a murder - supernatural problems are better left to experts, and no matter how much Bruce can see ghosts, magic's never been in the cards for him. He'd tried when he was younger, the grief of his loss burning under his skin, and convinced he could bring his parents back if he could just manage one little spell. Needless to say he'd given up and focused on much more practical pursuits, swearing off magic and the supernatural as much as his inherent ability allowed. But there's just something about this one kid.

In the end, he just can't help himself. He gets involved.

Gotham's night is especially damp and dreary when he finds the child on a rooftop. He watches from behind his cowl's lenses as the kid shoots him furtive glances every so often, seemingly debating with himself before steeling his resolve.

"The others say you can see us."

It's not a question, but Bruce answers anyway. The kid -- Dick, he introduces himself later -- talks his way into staying at Bruce's side while he investigates the Graysons' murder (and maybe, this once, Bruce doesn't fight him too hard. There's no where and no one to return this child to, and maybe Bruce can see some of himself in those not-quite-opaque blue eyes).

When they find and apprehend Zucco, Dick disappears. Bruce is almost sure the kid's faded away like most of the ghosts he helps (and if he has to ignore the tightness in his chest at that thought then so what?). At least, he thinks so until he comes back to the Cave (the Batcave, Dick had called it at one point and Bruce hadn't found it in himself to argue the silly name) and finds Dick perched on the Computer's console, kicking his feet like it's just another Tuesday to be spent running down leads.

"You're still here," he says, dumbstruck. Dick rolls his eyes and flashes one of those big performer's grins that Bruce has come to learn mean mischief is afoot.

"'Course I am! I knew you'd be lonely without me, B."

Bruce doesn't respond. Dick doesn't leave. And if Batman gets a little more involved in supernatural matters than he had previously, well that's no one's business but his and the odd little bird at his side.

   . . .    @lightnlasso​​    🞂   "Hey so uhm I brought some takeout, I know this whole not being Batgirl is hard for you. I'm sure your Dad...uhm Bruce?...Batman? Whatever, I'm sure he will come around about this or...if he doesn't maybe you can pursue something new?" 

        the facts of the situation:  cassandra excelled in her career as batgirl,  she was the best fighter in the entire bat network,  her investigation skills were among the best of her peers,  and batman wanted nothing to do with her anymore.  the most important fact of all was that she failed.  she failed and she didn't know until it was too late.  batman pulled her aside,  her weathered costume clutched in fist,  and told her that she could have anything in the world besides that uniform.  he told her she was too reckless and impulsive to perform her duties.

        she heard it from the likes of barbara and alfred that he did not mean the harsh words he said that night.  somehow, she was supposed to believe that when a man spits out about how inadequate she was and how her recklessness was the reason for this punishment,  he really meant that he was trying to help her.  it got harder to believe when every man in her life seemed to do this to her when she started questioning things.  bruce didn't even give her a choice to run away on her own.  at least david did.

        at least he pretended to care through his butler.  alfred briefed her in his overly formal way on the situation once they arrived at her wayne industries owned studio apartment.  through her seething she hardly heard his reassurances, but what she did pick up is that she would want for nothing besides her batsuit.  the problem was that she'd rather starve than give up the mantle that gave her life purpose.  with everything that mattered ripped out from under her, cassandra didn't know how she was feeling at all.  one minute she was angry,  the next on the verge of tears,  and sometimes she felt nothing.  all she knew was that she was lost.

        she had more visitors  than she'd ever had at her batcave.  how they got her address was beyond her considering the fact that she went radio silent on all comms.   barbara was the least surprising  —  she wouldn't be surprised if she still had a tracker on her phone.  some of the robins paid their dues by stopping by with gifts or words of encouragement;  this proved that her location was leaked by somebody already.  the only person she actually told her location to was cassie,  and she was the one who visited the most often.  her company was among the most tolerated out of the guests she had.  at least she tried to cheer her up instead of make excuses for batman.

        today,  she arrived with an absurd amount of chinese takeout hung from both arms.  "  hey. so, uhm  ...  i brought some takeout.  i know this whole not being batgirl is hard for you.  i'm sure your dad  ...  uhm, bruce? ...  batman? whatever.  i'm sure he will come around about this or  ...  if he doesn't,  maybe you can pursue something new?  "  cassie's ramblings came to a close with a raise of the arm that presumably had cass's share of the food.  her smile was unsure and sheepish.

        the bubbling frustrations in the pit of her stomach began to boil into something red hot.  she didn't know why her girlfriend's words pulled such violent feelings out of her,  but something about what she said made her angrier than ever before.  pursue something new?  what did anybody expect her to do?  barbara's preaching came to mind at that moment:  haven't you ever wanted to live a normal life,  like a normal girl?  a cacaphony of comments and conversations she shouldn't have heard hit her all at once,  all about the idea of forcing together the concepts of her and an ordinary civilian life.  the issue was that nobody,  in her entire life,  ever thought to ask her what she wanted to do.  now even cassie thought that she should move on from everything her life ever was and start anew.  was she the only one who realized how insane this was?

        "  you  ...  want me to stop.   don't you?  "  despite the anger rising up through her chest,  cass's voice came out wobbly.  it was getting harder to get words out despite everything she wanted to say.  whatever cassie tried to respond with was thoroughly ignored by her racing mind.  the only thing that mattered was getting out of this apartment.  she rose to her feet and marched up to the door,  avoiding her guest all together and grabbing her boots with a huff.

        she kicked the seat by her kitchen island out and sat to lace up her shoes without a word.  cass's breaths were shaky and uneven as she reached to grab her coat from the counter.  in her panic,  she opted to throw it over her shoulder rather than properly put it on.  she looked up to see cassie still blocking the front door,  caging her in from yet another thing she wanted to do.  her eyes shifted to the wide window by the flatscreen tv.  they were a few stories off the ground,  but that never stopped her before.

        cassie also never stopped her before until now.  the grip on her arm only encouraged the rage that finally reached her throat.  her movements were more animated than ever as she thrashed her arm against her grip.  it only seemed to get tighter the more she struggled against her.  instead of the words she wanted to spit at her,  what came out was grunts and whines.  tears welled in the corners of her eyes as her retaliation fizzled out into weak squirming.  this was all so unfair.

        she gave a final yank for good measure before giving up.  this time,  cass wasn't fighting to leave.  she just wanted to be let go.

Just had the random idea of griffon Batfamily. Or manticore. Or a mixture.

Either straight up mythological creature-people or that's what they base their vigilante outfits off of when becoming cryptids of Gotham.

[jessilynallendilla]

DPXDC AU idea

Danny is the ghost king

one problem he is a minor

so all summonings get redirected to his parent

Cut to Gotham Batman and his flock have finally tracked down a cult trying to summon the ghost king to bring about the end of the world

They're too late as the cult finishes the summoning...only for Batman to disappear and pop up in the summoning circle

Criminal Underworld: sees it as proof the Batman is some kind of eldritch being

Batman: frantically researching why he was summoned in place of the ghost king

Danny: oblivious to the chaos

Fentons family's guide Section on being an evil assistant to a supervillain

_________________________________________

Fentons family's guide to being an evil assistant to a supervillain

Guide by Jazmin Fenton in case of employment with a supervillain.

Being an evil assistant or henchmen is surprisingly a very stable source of an income stream all things considered.

You just need to find a boss. A as in singular it's very important, who is pathetic and or stupid enough to constantly have their large scale plan failing even without the hero's Involvement.

And while their large scale plan for taking over the world with a weapon of mass destruction could be feasible if only they didn't think to actually use it. Using it to threaten the world leaders for sway is the correct way. It is the most unused method the one being used most is the method of actually using the weapon of mass destruction for mass destruction.

You as the evil assistant then have the responsibility to make sure that the villain doesn't/ can't use said device to destroy the world. The heroes can help. Later then take the blame for the failure absolving you of involvement.

Being a good evil assistant is babysitting the evil boss.

_________________________________pg 9___

"Oh man never thought I'd actually need to use the 'Fenton guide' Jazz made me." Danny mumbled quietly and heaved a sigh of relief when he had found it among his hastily packed together bag.

Jazz had been the one making both of their emergency bags when she had told him about the guide. He hadn't appreciated it then now he truly did now with everything going on.

God he missed Jazz so much. He wanted to see her so badly he wanted to hold her hand like when they were kids. He really wanted her hand to squeeze his back in reassurance that everything was going to be fine.

Danny tried holding back his sobs at the thought. He couldn't stop the mist in his eyes or his hands shaking holding the little booklet.

But he wanted her safe and far away from everything even more. He wanted his friends to be safe with his sister. It didn't matter if he had to be far away working getting those crystals every way he could think of. His friends and sister needed money to keep them safe, hidden and taken care of. They needed that money and crystals and if Danny had to choose between his morals and fright he would always choose his true family. Morals be damned.

• • •

He hadn't expected the costume to be so good in quality. That had surprised him the most the second being how easy it would be getting a job with villains. Turns out working as an "meta" henchmen who knew everything from fighting to logistics and machinery was a rarity in this dimension. Who would have guessed it with all the metas and enhanced humans going about? And omg they even have aliens in this dimension!

Getting the money for the crystals had been going surprisingly smoothly. Everything had been going so smoothly that of course it had to be ruined! The villain Danny was working for had gotten noticed and promptly got beat. Which meant he didn't have an employer anymore at least until a breakout was orchestrated. So no more job until then.

And Danny had finally managed his way to the middle hierarchy in that organization! Now he would need to go looking for evil henchmen positions again! It wasn't even a good season to go looking for openings in other organizations.

Damn it that bat furry in Gotham and his flock of birds. Don't they get how hard it is for a henchmen to find descant work!?

Maybe he should go with the duo villain and assistant type next time.

Thank you so much for reading I hope it was enjoyed!

Danny in the lair after having saved his villain boss from Batman after said villain had their scheme blown up in their face. Danny knew the plan would fail miserably but at this point he didn't care. He stopped trying to help when it came to schemes ages ago.

Idk if I've posted this idea before but I've had this thing bouncing around in my head for a while.

[mikami1992]

Crazy Idea No. 9

There is something that the Bat clan ignores… It's been something since long before Batman… Something that happened in the first years after Bruce was orphaned.

Alfred died… Yes, the only guardian for the young heir of the Wayne family was murdered in the mansion where he lived with his ward… And how did a former MI6 agent, a former Kingsman, die?

Simple, overwhelmed by a flock of Talons;…what? Did they believe that the court of owls did not want control of the young and traumatized heir to the Wayne fortune?

or not, they tried, of course they tried and the only way to mold the suggestible child? take custody of the Butler… But there was a problem, the deceased Mr. and Mrs. Wayne left an unbreakable will where custody could not be contested… (there were always rumors regarding the patriarchs of the family and their faithful butler…), so they preceded the murder… but it didn't matter who It will be sent, they never returned… and the only time one returned (the lone survivor of the dozen talons on that occasion) confirming the completion of the mission…

the butler was seen the next day dropping young Bruce off at school…

The Talons were never able to re-enter… they never found the mansion alone, and when guided around they were hypnotized contemplating the Wayne grounds…

so the attacks moved to the outside of the place… but they never came closer to that one occasion… so after dozens (if not hundreds) of soldiers lost, the court stopped trying.

and do you know what happened that night?

Alfred Peniword was killed by the 12th heel, after killing the other 11… but he did not stay dead, that night he rose from the grave, burned the bodies of his attackers and buried his body in the depths of the caves under the mansion… and continued as if nothing ever happened that night….

And for years it was like that, no member of his family realized that he was no longer among the living… no visitor noticed and the secret was taken to the grave…

…Until a boy saw him with surprise and dismay in the reception area of Wayne Enterprises…somehow that boy knew what he was.

[ongoing-catastrophe]

i've seen some people in the batman fandom look (very reasonably) at this rich mans "crusade" against crime and be like he's selfish and self important and it would be much better if he invested in infrastructure. but

have you considered the funnier and more ridiculous option that he has? imagine that all of gothams schools are funded by the wayne foundation to ensure a certain quality of life and education even for the poorest kids. they have free daycares and free clinics and free pantries....but all the craziest villains in the country still flock to Gotham because of...vibes?

Bruce is trying everything and he's so confused why everything that works everywhere else just WON'T work here. Gotham becomes a global statistical anomaly, baffling social scientists everywhere.

[askthelovenest]

You know what makes me so soft?

The idea of Oswald getting his partner their favorite birds. He has a special and safe place just for them that only he and his partner knows about. He even teaches them how to properly take care of the animals. This just seems like the perfect bonding experience and I’m HERE FOR IT.
