i feel a little unhinged today so i wanna share a little something with y'all :)))
imagine this scenario, so Batman and the JL accidentally going to another earth, it looks exactly like their earth, but there's small details that change everything about this world
one of them is that there's no Batman, the Martha and Thomas Wayne never died in this earth and thus Bruce never became Batman
this earth's Bruce is cheerful, genuinely happy, he's in a relationship with Clark after they meet at a Wayne gala, they had good chemistry and when Clark asked this Bruce out he accepted it, he's now the Justice League's doctor
Batman has not revealed his identity to his league yet, but he has a crush on Clark to some degree and seeing how happy his counterpart is with their own Supes, leaves a sour taste on his mouth
Batman is not good with romantic relationships, but his heart still aches and he's kinda pissy about the whole situation, trying to go back home as soon as possible, the other JL members with him are a little weirded out about his insistence in coming back as soon as possible and they even send Diana to calm him down
Bruce from this earth notices their tension and decides to host a dinner so they can relax a little bit before going home, because when Batman is antsy everyone else becomes a little antsy too and when this affects his own Supes he sees the need to do something
everyone is eating and chatting away, when Bruce mentions he's turning 35 soon and Batman freezes, he's noticed that Bruce didn't mention Dick or Jason in any point of their conversation (Dick should he turning eighteen and Jason been recently adopted)
so he jumps from his seat and literally steals someone's cellphone and start to look for his children, Dick's parents died, but his boy is nowhere to be found, when he looks for Jason there's only one mention of his baby and it's alongside the news of Willis Todd imprisonment
when he starts to pack up the invisible jet for a trip to Hong Kong so he can kidnap his little girl, Bruce asks him to wait and keep calm, tries to reason with him, about how "You don't even know this children here, this is not your earth"
that's when the illusion falls
no matter how good of a life this bruce has, no matter who he's dating, no matter that he doesn't have the childhood trauma witnessing the death of his parents caused, because even if he's not from this earth, they're still his children. this Bruce might be happy, but Batman wouldn't ever be happy without his children, there's no romantic love that can compare to being utterly bullied by his kids everyday
when the league travels back to their earth, Bruce might be able to try and ask Superman out for a date, but he has to absolutely smother his kids in long and tight bear hugs first, because he can't even imagine life without them
bonus: Batman tracks down every single one of his kids (minus Damian because this earth's Bruce never meet Talia) on that earth and contacts his significant others/exes that are safe enough to raise a kid, but nuts enough to 100% believe that he's from another earth, each of them has their own little kid now

So basically, Bruce gets therapy after he loses his parents and thus is a mostly well-adjusted member of society. After a brief but passionate relationship with Talia al-Ghul, Damian is born, and is raised by Talia for a while before he goes off to meet his father. He and Bruce bond for a few years and one day, he meets Stephanie, who's in an unstable home environment, father is in-and-out of prison, that sort of thing, and takes her in with some joint custody with Crystal Brown. Then one day, Steph brings her boyfriend Tim along, and he's Tim, so you can imagine how that goes down. Damian and Tim have some friction initially but they eventually learn to get along with each other. Then we meet Jason in a similar manner to how Bruce found him in canon, but instead of the Batmobile, it was just his car. Then we find Dick, who similar to Jason, has pretty much the exact same backstory except he's 9 instead of 23 like he normally would be at this point in Bruce's life. Along the way, we get Babs, Cass, Harper and Duke, that happens however it happens.
Omg wait, Damian being big protective brother to Stephanie tho. He tries to give the shovel talk to Tim who is so amused. Little bitty Jason being thrown into this weird mishmash family and having to be basically tamed by Steph and Damian (Tim totally enables the kid). Jason stepping up as big brother for little Dickie. Except Dick totally still wants to murder Zucco, so now all the kids have to band together to help the kid out.

Why did it take me watching the 1966 Batman show to learn that Dick has an aunt?
Actually, no, objectively I knew he had other relatives, but that fact never really registered?
And now I've fallen into a rabbit hole...
Did you know that her comic counterpart, introduced in 1964, was introduced after Alfred died when he saved Batman and Robin from a falling boulder and essentially took his role?
And when she found the Batcave, she smeared pitch onto all the exit routes of the Batcave, because Bruce and Dick tried to trick her into thinking that they aren't Batman and Robin.
They used a hydrofoil attachment to get over it.
So they go out for partrol to catch the latest villain.
You'll never guess who it is.
It's Cluemaster. Fucking Cluemaster.
He painted a special chemical onto the BatTires so he could locate them but the tracks just stopped at some point.
Bruce and Dick thought they outplayed Dick's Aunt Harriet.

Hi, hello, good time of the day to you! Does Damian exist in Jason's time travel fix it AU?
Putting these together to save a bit of time bc yes to both steph shows up like she does in canon to try and stop cluemaster, cass shows up during no man's land bc obviously Jason's not about to stop an earthquake from happening even if he was aware of it which he wasn't and nothing is stopping Bruce from being horny
