#Ra's al Ghul

[frankencanon]

AU where the real reason Ra's al Ghul has lived so long is because he's a vampire and they were just lying about the Lazarus Pits this whole time

Ra's is a vampire, Talia's a vampire, Damian's a vampire — Talia never actually dunked Jason in the Pit, she bit him.

They're all lying liars who lie and the League of Assassins is full of their thralls

Why lie? Because everyone knows about vampires and their weakenesses and this way no one will ever think to to use silver or garlic or wooden stakes against any of the al Ghuls

-

Also, please consider: Jason and Damian trying to hide the fact that they're vampires from the Bats (and being really bad at it)

Or, worse: Damian not bothering to hide it because he thinks "Batman" is a vampire, too (and accidentally causing a hilarious amount of misunderstandings in the process)

(Angstier alternative is the Bats unknowingly starving Damian who thinks they know when they most certainly don't, only for fellow vamp Jason to eventually come to the rescue)

"Damian, family is more than blood. We are all your family... -You are my son. My blood. My heir. But Barbara is my family just as you are. So are Dick and Jason... Cassandra and Stephanie... even Tim. -Hey! Why the "even"?"

Truth & Justice (2021). "Happy Birthday, Damian!"

What to do when you leave the League of Assassins?

You go to Red Robin.

So let's say that Ra's lost a significant portion of his organization not just because Tim blew up his bases, but also because quite a few of those survivors decided to defect and follow Tim instead.

Tim is initially unsure about what to do with several hundred escapees from a cult but eventually figures things out.

His first step? He sends his ninja to be recruited by Jason.

Does Jason know that a significant portion of his goons are defects from the LOA? No, not for sure. He's absolutely suspicious but he cannot confirm.

Does Jason know that Tim sent the ninja? Not at all. He suspects they're from Talia and the ninja do nothing to disabuse him of that belief. Their loyalty is towards Tim after all.

Does Jason send them away? No, he's not about to let a bunch of sketchy ninja run loose in Gotham. Plus, the more skilled help he has, the more of a pain in the side he can be towards the Black Mask and the more territory he can hold.

Is Tim going to tell Jason? No, no he is not.

Tim, in the meantime, is busy making them new IDs since all of them are undocumented, ensuring they have regular paychecks on top of what Jason pays them, PTO, and health insurance. The PTO earns Tim their undying loyalty. He also recommends that they look into more sedate hobbies when they have the time and continue or begin their schooling. A significant number of them take up knitting and crocheting.

As a result, Tim knows what's going on in Jason's organization at any given time. The ninja are getting appropriate exercise and being acclimated to a relatively normal life. And when they're ready for something slower than Jason's reinvention of the mafia/mob, Tim is ready to help them on their next stage in reclaiming their life.

Batman and Robin #38, 2015 Peter J. Tomasi, Patrick Gleason, Mick Gray, and John Kalisz

[christelightlavo]

The family still lives in the Wayne manor, but it has been renovated to become larger with Arabic style architecture.

The batcave is no longer there, replaced by an underground Al Gul base, with only one batsuit to display. Damian keeps it as a showcase. A trophy that Ra's once told him to win.

Surprisingly Damian buried Bruce next to Thomas and Martha Wayne. The Wayne graves are still where they were originally. Still intact. (Damian tells his servants to tend to it)

[thealexanderfiles]

Jason, to himself: If I can catch Tim off guard when he comes back from patrol he'll confess about breaking my favourite Wonder Woman's mug

Jason, as Tim wanders in: Got anything to confess??

Tim, very very high off Gotham Harbor fumes: Ra's pickled my spleen.

[vodrae]

AU where Jason, Cass and Damian meet in the League and cause so much chaos that a burnt out Ra's just dropped them with a note

"Two of them are yours the third one is free"

And Bruce rolls with it

[arrowheadedbitch]

Concept: Ra's al ghul and Tim see eachother but tim wants nothing to do with Ra's so he just ignores him, won't even fight him, until Ra's starts talking shit about his grandson and Tim almost kills that old ass whore.

_______

Ra's: Hello, Detective

Tim: Immediately turns around and leaves

Ra's: Oh, come on!

Tim: Nope.

Ra's: But you would be such a better heir than my stupid grandson!

Tim, stops walking:

Tim: What the fuck did you just say

And then he kills him.

[glow-in-the-dark-death]

Just a little idea

What if when Tim went off to look for Batman when he was lost in time he bumped into Phantom.

They made a Deal

Phantom knowing CW helped him find Bruce and how to get him back safely, Phantom in return for reasons (hurt badly & recovering, or evolving in power) needed someone very ecto-contaminated (Ra's fault) like Tim, to be contained in.

From a magic user point of view, knowing very little of the GZ and how they work, Tim made a very powerful Deal with a powerful death being (High Ghost King Phantom: Hello!) and is now somehow pregnant (not really but they don't know that)

Danny while inside Tim inside his core can still hear the world outside normally and can share his emotions with Tim to communicate. Which looks a lot like Tim is speaking to his belly just like expecting parents do.

This could be angst or crack

or

my personal favourite, different genres for different pov's

Tim's would be happy, just regular getting his life back together being a total BAMF, coming of age type of vibe

The rest of the Batfam and other heroes pov would be angst, paranormal, psychological horror.

Misunderstandings galore

Dick regretting heavily his decisions which caused Tim to run away because he did not believe him and he has many Regrets.

Bruce feeling guilty that Tim felt the need to make such a decision as to make a Deal and end up pregnant just to bring him back.

Meanwhile the magic users have told the other heroes about Tim's situation and now think that he's going to give birth to the child of a very powerful death being and if something happens to Tim to risk the baby it would cause all of their worlds destruction.

so pretty much-

Tim-Girl Boss, Gatekeep, Gaslight

Batfam- Much Angst

Others- *panicked chicken noises*

Just an Idea

[wonderwomanpleasesteponme]

Dick: so you're Damian's other cousin, Mara's older brother, right?

Danny Fenton: yup, that's me.

Tim: not to be rude or anything but how come Damian's the heir and you're not? You're like a whole five years older than him.

Danny: kinda the same reason my father, Dasun, isn't the heir. I was born with a defect.

Dick: may we ask what defect?

Danny: oh I'm trans, grandfather immediately accepted that I'm a guy now, but he called it a defect that I was born in the wrong body so I'm not the heir.

Jason: that is oddly supportive of him, but still awful of him to say that you're defective of it.

Danny: yeah Grandfather is weird like that, he once said that me being in one of friends' band was foolish but still showed up to one of our bigger concerts.

Dick: why is he a more supportive grandfather to you than he ever was to your sister and Damian?

Danny: oh that's because when Aunt Taila was pregnant with Damian I decided I didn't want to be an assassin and because I'm the child of his least favorite kid I was allowed to go as long as I sent letters every now and then to show that I'm still alive.

[momachan]

"How are you?" They ask. I hate that question. No one really wants to know. Or if they do, it's not because they care. How am I doing? I'm halfway across the world from Gotham. Almost beaten to death by what I can only guess are actual gods. Caught in a proxy war-- or family holiday, depending on how you look at it-- and it's my birthday."

Truth & Justice (2021). "Happy Birthday, Damian!"

Wayne and Al Ghul family interaction that DC **thinks** I want: fight until the dead; something something bullshit; something something evil arab propaganda

Wayne and Al Ghul family interaction I **really** want:

Damian decided to sell some of his paintings to help the orphanage in Gotham, Tim and Barbara voluntarily themselves to help him organize the event and all the other siblings went together into the process.

Now, on the big night, Bruce is ready to buy everything! Damian was never open about his paint and finally Bruce was an excuse to put it in the manor wall.

The problem? Damian also invited his mother, Talia, personally and sent an invitation to Ra's. And now those three "functional" adults are fighting to buy the boy art.

Tim: We should evacuate the place, these three together in the same room is not a good idea

Dick: I bet at the end of the night Bruce and Ra's will take off their shirts and start a sword fight, they do this every time they see each other

Jason: 20 bucks that they did this on the roof

the orphanage raised enough funds that night and Talia was able to buy most of Damian's paintings. "As your mother, I support you in your artistic field"

Also Duke won the bet because they fought in the parking lot

bonus: Selina and Damian

Selina: this one is what I found most beautiful

Damian: I appreciate the compliment, I just ask you to wait for my father to buy it, so the money goes to the orphanage and you are free to steal his painting later

[rayghosts]

underrated comedy that i dont think english only speakers get is when dc comics gives one of their characters a name in a foreign language that sounds cool when spoken in full (ra's al ghul = head of the demon) but then they treat it like it's the character's legal full name (first name ra's last name al ghul) and you end up with batman villains with the legal first name Head. like, oooh it's my feared enemy, fucking Cranium

[incorrectbatfam]

[after Jason returns from the League of Assassins]

Damian: Did you lose your job because of me?

Jason: Nah, the manager’s a vampire and he wanted me to join his legion of the undead.

Damian, quietly: I knew it.

Polycule Talia, Jack and Maddie

It all started when Damian chose Bruce over her, and Talia, while never admitting it, was massively depressed about it. Imagine her surprise as this tiny astronaut-dressed child tried to cheer her up, and that was how she met the rest of the Fenton's later.

+

Don't ask how.

But somehow that led to Talia joining a polycule with Jack and Maddie.

It had been a Maddie's idea, and that was how Danny and Jasmine got a new mother.

Jack was like how her EX-BELOVED always was before public; but he really was a loving Himbo.

+

Even Ra likes Jack much more than Bruce; this husband of his daughter didn't even once try to change her views.

Ra liked Maddie, Danny, and Jasmine too.

Maddie tried to kill him the moment she saw him the first moment, that alone shows she can protect each other and family.

Danny liked his sword mom, and Jazz liked to talk with her too.

+

For. Talia: This was life; she had a good relationship, and they let her help her father, not like Bruce was against it.

So she was having a second home stay in Amity Park with her Mad Scientist husband and wife and step children.

She was teaching Danny how to read the stars and Jazz how to use a sword.

[onlycleverinmyhead]

In a world where Ra's al ghul is a better grandfather, Damian visits his bases sometimes. And one day he posts a video of him hanging out in the pool.

Dami: hello followers, Grayson suggested to me I'd post about details from my personal life that do not partain to my pets, I am now relaxing in my grandfathers' pool as part of our 'bonding time' grandfather, say hello

*The camera moves to show Ra's lounging on a pool chair in swimtrunks*

Ra's: to who?

Damian, from off camera:my followers

Ra's: already ammassing a base of followers? I am impressed, grandson.

The internet goes NUTS

Ra's deep voice, his standoffish attitude, his salt and pepper hair, his physique

They immidiately brand him a GILF

The batkids make it their mission to not let Damian know (while still making fun of him ofc)
