5 Times the JL Learned Batman was Married and the 1 Time They Met the Spouse.

One. Two. Three. Four.

Four.

Clark stood up and positioned himself between the door and his injured teammate before it even opened, though not much before. His own delayed reaction made sense when it opened to show one of Batman’s teammates. While for the longest the League had thought Batman ‘worked alone’, they were now aware of there being a variety of heroes in Gotham, even if they were far from sure how many there might be or who those heroes were.

Nightingale was a notable exception what with his influence on the newest generation of heroes.

The young man flashed Clark a cheery smile and a little two finger wave. The motion almost distracting with the bright blue that marked the fingers.

“Hey Supes, I got notified that B was laid up.”

Clark paused. “You did?”

“Yep, I’m down as B’s emergency contact for Justice League matters. Feel free to confirm it if you want,” Nightingale said and leaned against the door frame with an easy shrug. “That’s exactly the sort of paranoia that B would approve of.”

It really was was, Clark thought. He grabbed the tablet that he had been using and pulled up Batman’s personnel file. It was a sparse file, of course, but clear as day Nightingale listed was next to ‘emergency contact’. Under his name as an alternative was ‘Condor’.

“Who’s Condor?”

“Me,” rumbled the man who stepped up behind Nightingale. He wasn’t as tall as the other hero, but he was broad. His lower face was covered in some sort of sleek gas mask, though Clark’s focus was pulled to the red lenses of the domino mask.

He certainly made for an intimidating figure.

Nightingale rolled his eyes. “Dramatic.”

Condor just shrugged. “I’m here to be the muscle.”

Clark’s brow furrowed. “For… what?”

“Oh, we’re taking B home!” Nightingale, well, chirped and pushed himself off the doorway.

Clark stepped in the way. “Batman needs to stay under medical supervision.”

“We know. We’re taking him to the Batcave. There’s a full medical set up there and we already have Batman’s personal doctor on hand to look him over,” Nightingale said as he smoothly edged his way around Clark. “Not that we don’t think you all have done your best! Just that way we’ll have his status for our files and he can recover at home.”

“Besides, you don’t want you-know-who to get wind that B is laid up like this and come storming the castle,” Condor said and came to take the other end of the medical bed.

Nightingale gave an over-the-top shudder. “Yeah, best to avoid that, he’s not having a good week already.”

“I, no, I don’t know who,” Clark said with a frown, though he did finally step out of their way. He couldn’t really tell them no, they did have control over Batman’s care. Still, he carefully watched them undo the clasps that would let them take off the top of the bed like a stretcher.

Condor lifted his end of the bed. “B’s husband, of course. Guy’s a little protective.”

“A little?” Nightingale asked as he pivoted with his end of the bed so they could start walking. “Calling him ‘a little’ protective is like calling what happened on Monday a ‘little’ multidimensional incident.”

Condor shrugged, the bed shifting a little with the motion, though it barely rocked Batman. “Okay, so maybe he’d rewrite the world for B if it came to it. That’s exactly why we’re getting B back to the Cave where he can be safe and settled before his paramour gets back from dealing with that ‘little’ multidimensional incident.”

“Right,” agreed Nightingale. “Thanks for looking after him, Supes!”

“You’re welcome?” Clark replied as the two heroes left the room, Batman carried between them.

Jason who everyone believed would be great and Percy who knew that everyone except his mom believed he wouldn't amount to anything unless he proved himself. Percy who chose to make the Great Prophecy be about him so Nico wouldn't have to carry that burden after losing his sister. Jason who chose to confront Caligula alone so Piper would live after the oracle told him he or Piper would die.

Percy who believed he would die at 16. Jason actually dying at 16.

Imagine if Percy and Jason actually had the chance to have a genuine conversation about how being sons of The Big 3 hurt them in different but similar ways bc of what was expected of them and bc of how they were treated by people. Percy and Jason knowing that they can't really show weakness or insecurity or ever say that they were scared bc everyone at their respective camps were counting on their leadership.

Percy and Jason who had their own distinct journeys to be the heroes they became and both journeys were valid and important but did Jason and Percy ever believe for a second that they were important not for their parentage and achievements but because of who they are and actively chose to be

I recently read a fic that unlocked a previously undiscovered interest of mine, and i cant seem to find any other fics like it, so you guys get to watch me spiral (again)

This came from the Talia al-Ghul is Jason Todd's adopted mom pipeline, and the fic was a very short blurb where someone offered Jason the Joker's death as a courting gift, as according to the League of Assassin's tradition had to ask for Ra's blessing as the head of his family, and Damian tranqued Batman to let this happen, because 'this has nothing to do with you, Father, this is al-Ghul family business' and aaaaaa

Just, the League having its own culture, traditions.

I know its Ra's assassins club, but he is old as fuck. There have probably been families that are part of the League for generations. This amounts to not inly courting traditions, but customs, manners, holidays, all with a different twist that came with time in this isolated society, and i just want to see more fics that explore this.

Damian being cut out of his culture completely, no idea why no one responds the way he expects, not because of trauma and 'why is no one punishing or praising me', but genuine 'i told Drake i could demonstrate my skills with a blade for him, and why didnt he offer to show me how he fights with his staff??? He didnt even say he already knew how to use blades, is he implying that i am not sufficiently trained to be capable of teaching him? Does he think i am not worthy of being in this family, and thats why he refuses to train with me??'

(Meanwhile Tim firmly believes he just got threatened to be shish-kebabed by a 10 yo and is shook. Of course, Damian just wanted to spend quality time with his new family member the way he knows how to, but tim doesnt know that, and Damian doesn't know thats how tim understood it either)

And Jason being a part of the al-Ghul household, too, is very interesting. I love the concept of Talia sending him on his way to Gotham as Red Hood partialy to make the city safer for when Damian went over, Hood putting the fear of god into criminals so that the Demon Prince could walk through the city of his father with less fear and apprehension. Jason and Damian celebrating League holidays and traditions together (of course, jason only does it so the little guy can have this confor of home and family, he did promise T that he would take care of him, its not like he enjoys quality time with a family member he never tried to kill, or that he misses the conforts of the league and dinners with the al-Ghuls, of couse not).

Anyways, thank you for listening to my ted talk

Something about forest fires and destructive forces ft jason

[seleneprince]

My brain is truly my biggest ally and enemy at the same time. It doesn't stfu, even when I want it to

For the Neglected Family! Darlings au, originally Daughter and Jason's relationship was that they never met in person until he came back to the manor after his debut as Red Hood. That Wife! Darling did the whole blackmailing thing after Jason's death, which made sense because it caught Bruce in a vulnerable phase of his life that allowed her to catch him by surprise. Originally, Jason had only seen the family from afar when he stalked them for information about the Batfamily, and seeing them being just a normal happy family, with a loving mother, made his chest squeeze. His relationship with N! Daughter was leaning to hostile after he came back because he was low-key jealous of her and the life she got to experience, obviously not knowing better, while also deep down wanting to bond with her.

I intentionally made this because not only it explained how Bruce would be so careless to take off his cowl in a rooftop without checking his surroundings first (the grief affected his perception), but also because in all Neglected! Readers works I've read Jason and her had a great sibling relationship where he was this reliable, beloved older brother of hers, until he died and then distanced from her. Also, he and the Wife darling usually get along too because she adopts him and all. I wanted to change it a bit

But know I've been thinking, because I love drama, how cute of a detail it would be that Jason was still alive as Robin where the family moved in, and despite knowing something was off with the marriage, he couldn't bring himself to dislike the kids. How ironic it would be that while Dick was always everyone's reliable older brother figure, Jason was Daughter's and the only one she considered her big bro? How sweet it would be that Jason, who already felt insecure about keeping up with Dick and proving his worth as Robin, suddenly has people who look up to him and trust him wholeheartedly?

I even imagine a scene between the two of them, shortly before he dies, where he goes "I'm not as good as Dick is" and she replies "You're right. You're better than him" and his heart is about to burst. He also promised her he would always be there for her, no matter that. That whenever she had a problem, let her big bro handle it for her. He would always help her.

And suddenly he's dead. Gone. Her big brother doesn't come back from the mission and no one tells her what happened. Either to spare her the pain or because they can't be bothered to. It's a huge event for her, scarring her emotionally forever and hardening her. But then, when she's finally moving on and accepting his death, turns out he's alive. He's back, but not really. Everyone says he's not the same person, but she's too ecstatic to care about his new appearance. She can only think that her big brother Jason is back, the only brother who cared about her, and sure it might take time to get used to this, but she's willing to go through it. To wait until he's ready. Surely he won't forget his promises, surely he still loves her, surely he won't break her heart like everyone else

But it doesn't happen. He doesn't look at her, outright ignores her and sometimes he almost feels hostile on purpose. He's distant and cold. No matter how hard she tries, she can't reach him. He won't let her reach him. He goes on missions with the family and then disappears, never contacting her, only showing up at the manor to talk with the others.

Now I don't know if keep the original plot, or add this one....again I hate my brain

New ghost!jason story coming up…👀👀

[xx-knife-xx]

AUs where Jason didn't die (but DID stay Robin) are a really interesting concept to me.

Mainly because Jason's death changed Bruce and affected how Bruce treated people a lot. I would love to see people's takes on a Bruce who didn't loose Jason and his relationships with other batfam members. But ALSO because what would Jason's life been like? God...

I just think it's funny how "Being Different" was used as a metaphor for being queer, and El and Max have both been described in the narrative as "different."

What if Danny ended up in the DC universe but in a way similar to Imps, like Nite-Mite or Bat-Mite?

Danny was aware of DC comics and a huge fan so when he was unceremoniously chucked into the DC universe (probably the work of Clockwork but maybe some random ghost he was fighting) he fanboyed. Hard.

Just Danny realizing where he is and causing chaos, maybe its intentional maybe not, but chaos is happening. Probably not actually putting people in danger, I think he’d be more like Nite-Mite than Bat-Mite but maybe his is a nuisance.

Jason Isaacs Q&A for Broadsheet

[gimmethegoddamncoffee]

Why does it look like being a teenager emo is like a batfam rite of passage?? Bruce i get it, Dick was angry, again understandable, but Tim? (dont tell me he isnt, look at his fucking hair style, if its not emo, at least is a boyband shit) And like, im not even putting my finger on Damian or Jason they are just emo emo if you know what i mean, just... why? Couldn’t they be the football team leader for once?? But then they need to be able to stand in the sun tho

[fireheartwraith]

I think Shadow and Jason should meet. I want to know what they would talk about

“Stop excusing Jason killing just because he died!!1!111!!1”

We don’t excuse his killings, you ignorant fool. We actively encourage it.
