Okay so these three (1 2 3)posts gave me a fix idea that hopefully I’ll write (my wip list is long okay).

Okay so what if when Thomas and Martha Wayne were killed the trauma it caused Bruce created a darkness in his soul and it broke off almost and it turned into his shadow, maybe it stayed dormant for a while maybe it didn’t. But it’s a dark part of him (although it does have it’s own light/kindness, dark doesn’t mean evil). It can take it’s own form rather than being just his shadow, and it can let him turn into a part of it which is what happens when he’s Batman, that’s what batblob really is. People from other cities like Metropolis and Central etc don’t understand why Gothamites call Batman a creature or a cryptid. I mean he’s just a vigilante. But gothamite know that there’s something not entirely human about him.

I drew on so many posts I’ve read with this

#same thing happened to dick when he lost his parents #and to Jason probably from living on the streets and childhood trauma but could be it didn’t actually happen to him until he died #Tim probably had the darkness slowly growing inside of him growing up because of the neglect but I doubt it was fully formed until his mom #died or somewhere around that timeframe but I do think that it would have come out in small ways while he was robin before that ways that #he didn’t even notice #steph it probably happened when she died but if you know her better or have a better idea feel free to add #Damian it happened as he grew up with the league #could also be hereditary idk play with it how you want #cass is obviously from how she was raised and that huge and long lasting trauma #unfortunately I don’t know enough about duke to add so someone please help 😭#Alfred probably also has the shadow ngl #ex sas or whatever backstory you choose from and all that but also I just like the idea #also to clarify I absolutely do not consider dark to be a synonym for evil no matter how much it’s used that way #batfam #batfamily #bruce wayne #alfred pennyworth #batman #jason todd #damian wayne #cassandra cain #cassandra wayne #dick grayson #oh yeah babs probably has the shadow too idk much about her though so feel free to add #barbara gordon #duke thomas #stephanie brown #steph brown #batblob #new wip i guess
