#Spider-Man in the DC universe

[definitelynotindecisive]

Peter is teleported to Gotham after the events of NWH. A vague smooshing of Tom Holland Spider-Man and the Peter Parker from the most recent Spider-Man games.

So I've never really written a fic like this before, I've never really been a Marvel girly outside of like, being a Stucky shipper. But after stumbling across a few Peter Parker in Gotham fics, I thought I'd try my hand at it. I'd really appreciate it if I could get some feedback on it. It's going to have all the self-indulgent tropes, because that's what I enjoy writing, just to warn you straight off if that's not your cup of tea.

Small excerpt from the fic:

But instead of stepping through a portal normally, like Peter would have thought, he found himself suddenly submerged in water. Though, it might not have been water at all, considering it was glowing bright green, burned slightly against his skin and felt much heavier than regular water. Peter swam as hard as he could, trying to reach the top, as his chest burned at the sudden lack of oxygen. After some struggle, given the weight of his clothing and his go-bag, he finally made it, breaching the surface of the pool, gasping for breath. Normally, he could hold his breath for quite some time because of the spider bite. But it only worked if he knew to take a deep breath in the first place. 

Peter flopped onto the hard stone ground beside the pool of glowing water, the room or cave really, was illuminated by green light emanating from the pool. There looked to be torches around the cave that had long since burned out. They didn’t look like they’d been lit in hundreds of years. Groaning as he stumbled to his feet, dragging his now waterlogged gym bag with him, Peter tried to take stock of himself. He was dripping wet, obviously, but something else felt… odd. 

He wasn’t wearing his Iron Spider suit, and his under clothes seemed to be hanging off him, as if several sizes too big. He looked down and quickly examined his body. He was much smaller than he remembered being, that was for sure. He walked back to the pool, just to try and check out his reflection, and saw his thirteen-year-old self reflected back at him, sans the dorky glasses and haircut. The year he had been bitten by the spider that altered his DNA and gave him his enhanced abilities. He swallowed harshly, his gaze barely registering a weird white streak in his fringe, and stepped away from the pool.

Overheard someone at the comic store saying that baby Jason is just Tom Holland Spidey

[spidergrotto]

chapter one of every spider-man gotham fanfic has the obligatory library scene where peter finds out and realizes that

a) he’s stuck in gotham NEW JERSEY.

b) the avengers don’t exist

c) he’s stuck in a different universe

d) HES STUCK IN NEW JERSEY.

Anybody else think that the "superhero fatigue" people keep talking about has less to do with people not liking superheroes as a genre, and more to do with many superhero movies made in the past few years being bad faith adaptations?

I'm not tired of comic books or action movies, or the inherent optimism of a world that, despite its many flaws, deserves saving

I'm tired of movies that are mass produced with no respect to the source material, audience, or the people making it!

Gotta love how go with the flow 60's Spider-Man is.

POV: you are telling fanfics writers that they don't have to antagonize or kill off character's bio parents to validate their relationship with a mentor character/ writing a fic about a character and their parental figure doesn't invalidate the character's bio parents and everything their did while raising their child / people are allow to have more than one parental figure in their life and you can have a good relationship with your alive bio parents and still see other adults as parental figures because love doesn't have limits

Y'know, sometimes I think to myself, would it be better to be Batman's kid? Because bro, Mr. Stark is dead, and Batman isn't, and bro actually hugs his kids. I love Mr. Stark and all, but man, my love language is physical contact- anyways, have this meme about the Batfamily I found on Pintrest about Damian

Adorable, he is me but fiesty I love him

Growing up is going from “Peter Parker found family, fix it, SI field trip” fics, to “Tim Drake found family, bad parents, whump, hurt/comfort” fics or vice versa

[thosedamnedghouls]

and when i tell you all ive unfortunately fallen down the Dick Grayson parents Peter Parker rabbit hole

[magnoliasandarson]

peter parker and tim drake graduated from the same school of saying the wrong thing at the absolute worst times. your honor they were just feelin goofy.

“This is going to be--close. Ow. International incident, here we come.”

--Tim Drake (Red Robin #3 – The Grail: Part Three of Four)

"I think this is my super villain origin."

-- Peter Parker (Daredevil Vol 3 8: “The Devil and the Details, Part II”)

My favourite thing EVER is the little sub fandom that’s currently all of my tiktok fyp of Peter Parker in Gotham.

Like- I could go on for hours about how amazing theses fics are, but even on a sentimental level it’s so fucking cool to see.

Spider-Man (and the MCU in general) was literally my entire childhood. Ultimate Spider-Man? Avengers Assemble? Earth’s Mightiest Heroes? Little six year old me was drawing fanart before I even knew what fanart WAS. Andrew Garfield? #1 Celebrity crush growing up. The Marvel Cinematic Universe? I have my walls covered in posters, my laptop wallpaper is that one Cap vs Thanos’ army scene from endgame and I have an infinity gauntlet lamp on my bedside table.

Recently though, like October 2022, I’ve been obsessed with the batfam and DC in general. Learning as much as I can about the comics, watching all the CW tv shows (including titans) and all the movies. Hell- I’ve been watching shows like Young Justice (which was another childhood show), Teen Titans (03) + the tie-in comics for both, the Justice League animated series, and so many other that I’m blanking on.

It’s so fucking cool to see people who love Spider-Man and Marvel find these fics and start asking how to get into DC and vice versa. Like- humans are so fucking cute man idk T°T
