Consider the Bat

It seems I'm on a Bat kick lately.

Anyway, it's been established that there is or was a timeline where Thomas Wayne becomes Batman after the murder of Bruce while Martha goes nuts and becomes the Joker. Ignoring the Martha being the Joker bit, concentrate on Batdad and consider that Thomas ending up in a world where his son is Batman. I have seen this done and done well but there was a missing element in my opinion.

So then consider this.

If there is a world where Thomas became Batman, then I must insist there is a world where Martha became Batwoman or even straight up called herself Batman. Thomas, to reflect the other one where he's Batman, would thus suffer being the Joker unfortunately. That too will be ignored thank you.

This Martha iteration of Batman also ends up in the world where Bruce is Batman and where this Thomas who is Batman has fallen, making it three Batmen in one world and they were family in their respective universes.

And Alfred in the background feeling relieved because his charge becoming Batman was not entirely his fault after all, it was genetic. Yes he may have influenced Bruce's drama a little but it was not all his fault that Bruce ran off to get trained by all these martial arts masters and have the educational equivalent of a dozen PhDs without the documentation to show for it in order to fight crime! Just look at his parents!

And now the Robins, which I use as a collective term for ALL of Bruce's children whether biological, legal or emotional, now have Batdad, Batgrandpa, Batgrandma, as well as Agent A aka Agent grandpa.

Thomas Wayne vs Ra's Al Ghul because those are HIS grandchildren you creep! Hands off! While Martha comes up from behind with a sword and an equal desire to protect her grandbabies. And they bond over being able to deal with a Joker who isn't and has never been a significant other to anyone in their family. Then bask in having grandbabies, grandbabies they can spar with and who are such good vigilantes and they're so proud! Their grandbabies are all so smart and so strong and they love them so much! I really want doting bat grandparents.

Possibly some awkward drama between Thomas and Martha as they try to determine if they want to make a relationship work with the other since that is Thomas/Martha but not their Thomas/Martha and they don't want anyone to feel like they're being used as a stand in. Similar awkwardness between them and Bruce because he's their baby but also not and they're his parents but also not. Also some glee for Martha and Thomas because they don't have to deal with gala drama since Thomas and Martha Wayne being publicly back from the dead after 20+ years would be a little much to believe even for Gotham. But it has been long enough and they've changed enough that they can go out in public as John and Jane Draper, grandparents of Alvin Draper (Tim made them fake identities before Bruce could finish) and no one looks at them twice. Thomas might assist Leslie in her clinic. Martha helps Tim and Bruce out with business things.

And Gotham criminals cry out in despair as more Bats pop out of the brickwork and this time without even a Robin stage to warn them!

How would Batman react if one of his former Robins dropped by for a visit, but they had a child along side them? (BatGrandpa?)

There will be a lot of family asks, especially for Batman.

Batman Meets His Grandchild

Let's be real, it would probably be Dick who would do that

Just greets him like every time until he sees a little girl clutching to his leg

"Hello, little one. Did you get lost?"

"Actually... this is my daughter. Adopted her last week. Meet Y/N."

"... You did what?"

Can't even find words out of disbelief

How could he not know he will be grandpa?! He should know it beforehand to meet her. Oh my, he is grandpa, he needs to sit

Alfred says Dick definitely took after him but Bruce silences him

Calls rest of group and invite them for dinner as a welcome to the family

Sits with his new granddaughter and listens to what she likes, how old she is anything

She was intimidated at first but soon she is having tea party with grandpa and uncle Jay

Dick, don't you dare take photos-

He might not have that big of a time but he wants to babysit her

Loves his little girl

Pls do batdad /w his batbabies and batgrandpa Alfred

[shitthebatfamprobablysaid]

Alfred: Miss Stephanie, would you please wake up? It's nearly two.

Steph: In the afternoon?

Alfred: Nearly.

Steph: New record!

[nymph-patt]

That words are all that Brucie wanted to hear his entire life... ; ( so sad his father is a psycho rigth now...

[incorrect-batfamily-quotes]

When Batgrandpa gets fed up (because you’re wrecking all the furniture in the Manor)…

Alfred: All of you be. Quiet.

Alfred: Master Timothy, Miss Stephanie’s mad because you said “awesome sauce” instead of “I love you, too”.

Alfred: Miss Stephanie, he loves you. Stop being a child.

Alfred: Master Richard, you’re clearly at fault here. Blaming Master Jason won’t save you.

Alfred: And, Master Jason, we both know you were hanging out with Bizarro instead of watching over Master Damian like you promised.

Alfred: So. *looks around at his stunned grandchildren, who are bruised and battered from trying to “resolve” things earlier*

Alfred: Everyone apologize to everyone else. Now.

What would this family do without him?

[batboyblog]

Super-grandad and bat-grandad exist somewhere I'm sure of it

Batgrandpa would be Thomas Wayne’s dad I assume? you know idk if he ever has come up, hm. 

[theamazingchickenman]

"Tada! It's Batgrandpa!"

What’s funny about this scene is that Alfred’s gotta be straight up lying here. Dick calls him Alfie. Jason has called him Alfie. He literally comes home after this to Tim hugging him and calling him Alfie.

But I guess “you’re the only one who gets away with calling me Alfie” is more romantic than “you and my kids/grandkids are the only ones who get away with calling me Alfie.” lol

Nightwing: Alfred’s Return

Image description: A cropped comic panel shows Alfred Pennyworth sitting at a round table across from a blond middle aged woman in a fancy restaurant. Alfred says, “And do you know, in all that time you’re still the only one who’s ever got away with calling me ‘Alfie’!” She responds, “It was to tease you at first, then it sort of stick. Did you really mind?” End ID.
