batman #138 // batman #4

i think one of the reasons why i have so much faith in the gotham war writers is because they’ve done this storyline before

claire was hypnotized into being paralyzed by fear, just like jason is now, and they wrapped up her story pretty well! she was able to feel these emotions and allow herself to be afraid, and still fight through the fear to help people when they needed her. they eventually get the guy who created her fear to reverse it, and that’s how i see jason’s storyline going.

with catwoman #58, he’s already shown he can fight the fear just a little bit when someone needs his help, so he’s clearly going to keep fighting. they just need to either get bruce to snap out of it, or figure out exactly how he did it and reverse it themselves. or they can bring psycho pirate back and force him to fix jason lol

God I love Gotham Girl. The question of "what if Superman was still good, still american, but mentally ill" is so interesting. And the way writers have used American culture to really build her character. The way that she thinks just because she has kryptonian powers that she is unable to ask for help, how because of these powers she's able to hide from the world whenever she wants (much the same as how someone like me struggling with their mental health will stay in their room alone, even to their own detriment.) How aware she is of her problems (especially in detective comics 1059-1061) but so unable to get herself help... all coupled with her godlike powers. She's such an amazing character I wish DC would do more with because there's just so much to do with "Mentally Ill Superman" if the way Gotham Girl is.

Hot Girl Shit (The Feminine Urge to Die Young)

(a.k.a Live Fast Die Young Redux)

AO3

Fandom: Batman

Featured Characters/relationships: Cassandra Cain & Claire Clover (Gotham Girl)

Wordcount: 6100

Summary:

Cassandra and Claire are both living lives with an expiration date when they meet. Claire has powers that burn time off her life with every use. Cassandra has a death match with Lady Shiva scheduled, one that she knows she will not win. In the brief period their time overlaps, a friendship blooms.

I am back on my niche-fic posting shtick! I am getting so much writing done while procrastinating on Batman for Dummies Ch 3. I have inserted Claire Clover and the "I am Gotham" arc from Batman (2016) into the post-crisis continuity roughly post-Officer Down for purposes of throwing these girls together. Enjoy.

(Thank you to @creetchure for betaing this for me!)

Excerpt:

Gotham is sluggish in the late summer heat. Warm, even at night. Humid from the bay. It doesn’t bother Cass, though she misses the breeze on her face. She wears the mask; it clings to her face like a second skin: warm, soft, already slightly damp from sweat. A second skin, a better face.

The last time she went out, Cass didn’t wear a mask. A mistake, Batman said. She could have hurt Barbara. Might still hurt Barbara, if the people who saw her make the right connections. Cass doesn’t want to hurt Barbara. She has her own cave to go back to now. Far away. Alone. It’s safer that way.

She is out now, in Gotham, an itch under her skin. She trained earlier, but it didn’t help. She needs to be out, needs to help. Gotham is slow tonight. Quiet. Too quiet. It itches.

Batgirl runs from rooftop to rooftop, searching, but still: Gotham is too quiet. Too still. There’s no one out, no one to fight. Maybe it’s the heat.

She stops on a rooftop, listens to the city around her. Gotham is never completely quiet; something is always moving. It is the same tonight, but calm. Maybe she should go back, train some more. Maybe this will be a wasted night. 

But no. Sirens wail past. She sees flickering light on the horizon, smells smoke. A fire.

Batgirl runs.

The firemen beat her there. It’s an apartment building, burning quickly. Too quickly, the water not doing much to slow its devouring progress. All around are people: watchers and residents gathered around in their pajamas, smelling of smoke, some more than others. There are fire trucks, ambulances. Some people shout orders. Babies cry. Everyone is talking.

It’s too much. Dozens of voices blend together into one single mass of unknowable language. It reminds her of before, when everything was that unknowable mass.

The burning building gives an ominous creak. The shouting intensifies as firefighters begin to pull back. 

A single voice, screaming and crying rises over the cacophony. Cass listens. 

“—my daughter!” the woman is saying. “My daughter, she’s still in there. Please, someone! She needs help!”

There. There’s the woman. “Where?” Cass asks.

For a moment the woman is shocked. She looks at the bat emblazoned on Cass’s chest. Recognition sparks in her eyes. “The third floor,” she says. “Will you—”

Batgirl is already gone, running towards the fire. Everyone else is running away. They shout at her. She doesn’t listen.

She can feel the heat through her suit: burning fire. She is close, almost in and then—

A rush of air. She is… in the air. Someone is holding her. She strikes on instinct. She wants them off her. She wants them to let her go.

“Hey!” the person says. The voice is young, a girl. “I don’t want to drop you.”

Cass looks. They are high up. Flying. The drop is survivable, probably. She has her grapple, but: the girl didn’t drop her. She couldn’t break her grip. Cass stills.

“Good,” the girl says. “I’ll set you down in a second.”

They land on a rooftop. It’s away from the fire. Too far.

“I know you’re—” the girl starts to say.

“Bring me back,” Cass says.

“The building’s about to collapse! It’s dangerous.”

“No,” she says. “Inside, there’s a girl. I need to—”

The girl inhales, nervous. “Where?” she says, turning back to look. Then, before Cass can answer. “I see, I’ll get them, wait here.”

“Wait—” Cass starts to say, but the girl is gone, flown off. She’s not human— metahuman. Batman warned her about metahumans. The girl is wearing a blue and grey costume, a cape. Cass is curious. She waits.

The building collapses in a fiery blaze. A minute later, the girl returns.

“I got them both out in time,” she says. “They’re okay.”

Both. That means there were two. Cass only knew about one. “How?”

“Ultra vision to see them and then speed and flight to get them out.”

“You stopped me,” Cass accuses.

The girl looks apologetic. “I’m invulnerable. You would’ve died. You’re Batgirl, right?”

Cass nods.

“I’m Gotham Girl. At least, I was. I don’t know if I’m going to keep being her. I mean— I don’t know.”

She’s fidgeting: nervous, uncertain. Cass could surprise her; she sees the weakness in her form. It would be easy to exploit, except… speed, flight, maybe strength. Part of her still itches to try. Instead, Cass asks ���You know… Batman?”

She nods. “He’s helping me out.”

An ally then.

“Can… can I ask you something?” Gotham girl asks.

Cass shrugs. She waits.

“Were you scared— running into the fire?”

“No.”

“You could’ve died.”

Cass shrugs. “There was… someone to save. Nobody dies.”

“Oh,” Gotham Girls says. She looks like she has more questions. Cass doesn’t want to answer them. She turns to leave.

“Wait.”

Cass pauses on the edge of the roof. 

“Can I— I mean, see you around?”

Cass shrugs and jumps off the roof.

TikTok batfan: my favorite obscure batman character is Tim uwu

Me, trying to find one other person who gives a damn about Claire Clovers or Anita Jean:

[fandom-stealer]

Listen i know its been a month. I was struggling to find motivation, but let’s just get into it now.

When we last left off, the family consisted of:

Dick, Jasón, Tim, Damian, Steph, Cass, Duke, Harper, Cullen, and Carrie.

Things were settling into a rhythm. All the kids had their schoolwork and hobbies, Talía had her job a teacher, and the house was thriving. Everything was going great.

Then Talía read the news one day. The headliner of ‘Happily married couple Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle divorce after pregnancy announcement’ doesn’t surprise her. She just moves on with her life, or she attempts too.

After a house fire causes young Terry McGinnis and his younger brother Matt to lose their parents, their taken into foster care and given to Talía. Matt almost immediately warms up to her, running around like the excited child he is. Terry took a lot longer as he missed his biological parents, but after a while they molded into the routine of the house.

At this point Talía has 12 kids (including a baby and two toddlers) and she needs a bigger house. She starts trying to work overtime, but it isn’t needed. Alfred shows up at her door one day with a $1.000.000 check, saying “Master Bruce said you would need this.” Talía is suspicious but still uses the check to buy a good sized mansion (not as big as the Wayne’s, but good enough). Talia is impressed with the size, and jokes that she could adopt even more kids now.

That doesn’t stay a joke for long, because one Helena Bertinellie shows up in her life. A runaway after her parents were murdered, Helena ran into Talía after she had gotten in legal trouble for being an unaccompanied minor. Talia bailed her out and took her in so she wouldn’t have to go into foster care. Helena soon got into the grove of the home as she took up art to cope.

Talia thought that she would have a break afterwards, possibly not having to adopt a child in a while, but of course that doesn’t happen. Just a week or so later, two siblings popped into her life. Claire Clover and Henry Clover Jr. Their parents had left town and left them behind. Talia was again gifted these foster kids and took care of them. Once she found out about their powers, she decided to homeschool them for their own safety.

To her surprise, months later, Selena Kyle showed up at her door with a baby in hand. She said that with her life, she couldn’t take care of her. Talia sympathized with the woman and took the baby in. Selena told her the babies birthday and name, and the left. Helena Wayne was the newest addition to Talias family.

Now, its complicated for Luke Fox and Barbara Gordon. Both have living fathers, but Talía has babysat them enough times to where they feel like part of the family. Barbara likes coding and has made little games for the children, and Luke has gotten into Basketball and has matches with Jasón every time he comes over.

When Talía wakes up and see her kitchen full of children, she realizes she doesn’t regret a thing.
