#cuz everyone gets kidnapped in gotham

[nerdpoe]

Danny is about to be kidnapped in Gotham This is not a good time.

He's studying for the SAT, he's already been kidnapped by Vlad like, four times that week and it was a fucking Tuesday, he forgot his wallet at his new apartment, locked himself out of said new apartment (he could phase through the door but that wasn't the point), he's just been informed that the grant he applied for was denied so he needs to ask his mom and dad for college funds when he'd already told them he had it covered, and just...it was shit.

It had been shit. The entire week had been awful and annoying and he was ready to either murder everyone on the planet or go find a corner to cry in for the next three days.

So when the band of wild goons working for whatever villain of the week pulled up and tried to kidnap him, he snapped.

He used them to vent.

Shouted about how terrible his day had been, how terrible his week had been, how he'd already been kidnapped by his creepy godfather who was way too into him, how college funding was shit and the grant system was rigged, and how he'd have to call a locksmith or break down the door to his own apartment if he wanted to go to bed-all of it. He unloaded all of his frustration.

The goons actually backed off.

One of them gave him an awkward side hug and told him it'd get better.

Danny wasn't paying attention to his surrounding. He doesn't realize that the whole thing was livestreamed.

So when he gets home to his apartment later that day, his door is opened for him by the vigilante Spoiler before he can even turn intangible.

She brought over BatBurger and kidnapped Bruce Wayne, Gotham's bumbling Prince, to talk about college grants.

[w0oin]

Danny has a habit that made him not moving when something came flying towards him, he knows it coming.. he can dodge it but he didn't from some reason. Usually it happened with blasters from his parents tech and ghost... Then his little half dead ass decided to join this trip to Gotham museum (suggested by Sam obvi) and lost his left arm in front of the whole class and Gotham vigilante. 'Really- REALLY IN FRONT OF THE COOLEST VIGILANTES' Everyone got out safely no fatal injuries except for Danny. Y'know when you were like the only one who couldn't answer the question and had to stand alone until the teacher make you sit? Yeah, that's how Danny is feeling. His classmates are concerned but not that much.. it's not because they don't care about Danny.. it's just that... it's Danny. They knew better to not asked anything if they see anything unusual about him. Meanwhile a vigilante(choose any of them) trying to comfort Danny but he isn't responding they thought it was because shock and trauma respond. It is mostly like to be Nightwing, Red Hood, Signal, Red Robin and Spoiler maybe Orphan/Black Bag who knows i literally can not see Robin comforting someone that loses their body part with no sugar coating like he'll be so straight forward and make u feel like shit but comfort sorta at the same time.

Then the next day when they visited Danny just to see his arm were magically reattached.

Gotham Vigilante: What the..

Casper high students and teacher: First time? Don't worry it happened more often then what you would like.

Gotham Vigilante: What is that supposed to mean??

While then bats and birds already conclude that Danny is meta that could reattached their own body or some shit. Now on the whole freaking trip Danny is being watched closely by the bats and birds like hawks watching their prey. Danny who accepted his fate just shit ten time worst when he got kidnapped by some the rogue cuz he look alike Wayne shenanigans. His finger accidentally got cut off. His legs magically disappear. His ear was bitten off. His neck was snapped. His eyeballs got scoped out. He somehow lost his freaking nose. Danny even get to enjoy the trip... Because it wasn't a trip anymore... The bats keep saving him tho so it's nice

At this point the bats just wants to locked this kid in room so he wouldn't get harm anymore because his injuries are getting ridiculous and only been a week.

Hey, it’s almost 1am and I’m riding the angst train I wanted to ask ur opinion on something.

How would the fam react to Y/n getting grievously I hired or dying by the hands of a villain or by Jeremiah and getting caught in the crossfire???

❤️❤️❤️

I'm so glad that people like reading my stuff. It's more self-indulgent, but what fanfic isn't self-indulgent?

Anyway, I'm so excited by seeing this ask because it sounds fun to write about. Let's start with the "less" angsty one. y/n getting gravely injured (I'm assuming that's a typo) by a villain.

TW: Mention of suicidal ideation once and gore.

Getting Gravely Injured by a Villain

It'd depend on the Villain. The family is going to act accordingly in their personas. Their punches are probably hitting harder than usual.

Jason might shoot the villain in the head, but ultimately can't. He's in Gotham following the Bat's rules slightly. So he'll just shoot their knee.

y/n isn't Batgirl anymore. So that means the villain must know the publicity they'll get by attacking, kidnapping, or holding a minor celebrity would give them. The fact that it's Bruce Wayne's daughter who's painted out to be a saint by the media would spread like wildfire. They'd have to be doing it to get attention or money.

How severely y/n was harmed doesn't matter too much. Bruised, broken bones, stabbed, etc are going to make the family more protective. Trying to persuade y/n into coming back to the manor, so that they can keep her close and prevent this from happening again.

Now the Valeska twins will differ in how y/n gets hurt and their reaction.

Jerome is like a child on a sugar high when with y/n. Wouldn't deliberately harm her in any way. Kidnaps y/n and go on a joy ride around the city even though she has no choice and isn't finding any joy from this. She'll probably get a scrape on her legs or arms from falling because Jerome is running too fast while he is holding her arm. Maybe have a bruised arm or wrist because of how tightly he holds her.

He doesn't think too much about things and will get into dangerous situations. Pick a fight or mock the wrong person leading to a shootout. He's having too much fun to care about anyone until y/n is hit.

One of the family members finally caught up to Jerome and was ready to— oh, my God y/n is bleeding from her side! Oh, fuck! AHHH! Jerome knows he can leave y/n in the hands of whatever bat family member showed up. She'll be in good hands while he hunts down the one who shot her.

"I know you're one of the 'good guys', but take care of her. If I hear that you did something that upsets her I'll— actually, I'll keep that a surprise." He looks at y/n who is just bleeding on the floor and in pain with a big ol’ smile. "I'll make sure to give you the head of that fucker who got you. Until then see ya later, toots!"

After that y/n is forced to stay in the manor. They made a deal that it would just be a few weeks, but her stay is indefinite.

Bruce

Opens the door one day to find a large box. It wasn't a delivery because it has no shipping information on it. Just an envelope with y/n's name on top of it. Bruce opens the envelope first and reads the letter which has poor handwriting.

Hey, doll!

Hope you're resting up and not in too much pain. I didn't think picking on a mob boss would get so messy. They just couldn't take a joke. I'll pick a more private place for our next date cuz I know how shy you are. Hope seeing them brightens your day. Made sure to get rid of the eyes since I know how you don't like too many eyes on you. Didn't know who shot you, so I just killed everyone who was there.

Love Jerome.

Bruce doesn't need a minute to take things in. He already knows what's in the box and sends it to the authorities. Does not mention a word of this to y/n. She is already going through a lot and best to not tell her.

He does increase the security around the manor. He ends up putting a tracker on y/n because knowing where she is the only way to keep him from worrying.

This further solidifies that she needs to be in their protection to keep this mentally disturbed boy away. The whole thing is twisted but the line "a more private place" bothers him the most. He's not letting his daughter be alone with Jerome longer than she already has.

Dick

It's early in the morning and Dick wanted to check up on how y/n doing. As he walks up to the manor there's a large box sitting in front of the door. A letter sits on top of it with y/n's name on it. Rips up the envelope and begins reading the letter.

Once Dick was done reading, he looked down at the box. Noticing dried blood around the box. This makes him nauseous and immediately goes to Bruce to inform him. They sent it to authorities so they could identify the heads in the box.

He doesn’t tell y/n or the others about this. Everyone is already in a frenzy from the events prior, so it seemed best to keep this between him, Bruce, and Alfred.

"Made sure to get rid of their eyes," Dick isn't sure why that sticks with him. Maybe it's because he wonders if Jerome beheaded them or took out their eyes first. It doesn't matter though because he needs to keep his little sister safe.

Barbara

Doesn't even want to go near it, checks that there isn't a bomb in there waiting to explode. She takes one peek in the box and immediately looks away. Does not read the letter because what was in the box said what needed to be said. Informs the whole family and that sets the mood for the day.

She checks up on y/n after telling everyone. The poor girl is so overwhelmed by everything that she doesn't want to be around anyone. Spends most of the day with y/n, trying to cheer her up. Get sweets since that's y/n weakness and sugar releases dopamine. She has Alfred cook y/n's comfort food.

The day is meant to help release all of the stress. Barb wasn't sure if it was working until y/n said thank you before going to bed. Barb makes a promise to herself that she'll become better at shielding y/n from this type of depravity.

Jason

Can tell who this is from just by the envelope. y/n's name with little hearts around it. Shoves it into his pocket, he'll give it to y/n when he sees her. Opens the box to be hit with a familiar disgusting odor. Looking inside there are 3 heads. Recognizes one of them being a mod boss he has on his list for a while now.

Jason wasn't sure what to expect, but it wasn't this. He pulls out the envelope and tears it open to get some sort of context. Reading the letter left him unsettled and a little…satisfied? Grateful maybe? For taking care of those who harmed y/n even though it was entirely Jerome's fault that this happened in the first place.

Closes the box and informs the whole family of what he found. Everyone is put more on edge. y/n isn't allowed out of the manor for a few days. y/n is upset by the news and she’s more quiet the following days.

Jason almost wants to laugh at, "They just couldn't take a joke." Bets that these" jokes" were just thinly veiled threats and pointing a gun at them. He probably would have snickered if this didn't involve y/n.

Tim

All he wanted to do was check the mail. Now he's reading a sort of love letter written by a psycho and looking down at the heads that could not look back at him. Their empty eye sockets had- ugh, God there was so much blood.

Debates on whether he should tell y/n about this, but ends up telling her. There was no point in hiding it because she'll probably find out one way or another. Sees the guilt and horror flash across her face. Wants to comfort her as much as he can, but all she does is detract from him. Of course, when Barb opens her arms y/n jumps into them. What happened to them always being there for each?

Doesn't like, "our next date", one bit. He doesn't like the insinuation or the thought of it. He starts keeping his eyes peeled for Jerome and ears open if anyone has information on where he is or going. The sooner he's in Arkham the safer y/n is from him and going on that next date.

Damian

Not impressed. The delivery was lazy and the writing was so sloppy that he almost couldn't read it. The heads must have been cut with a butter knife with how unclean and jagged the cut is. Every unprofessional. Nonchalantly brings this up at the table during breakfast. Not even when everyone is finished, just right in the middle of it.

Never really had respect for a villain or any, but the whole "Didn't know who shot you, so I just killed everyone" was almost respectable. Damian having a speck of respect doesn't mean he likes Jerome. Still thinks he's stupid and annoying.

He'd give him a 3/10 for the delivery and would not order again.

Per-Spray Jeremiah isn't going to do anything, but Post-Spray Jeremiah is a different story. Will break one of y/n's arms or legs just so that she can't get away from him too easily. Though that's going to the extreme, he's more likely to guilt trip her. Getting into her head isn't hard and more effective.

"I thought you loved me. You were the one who always said you loved me. y/n, who has been here for you the most and always will? Not your best friend, Norah, she's leaving you behind and you know it. Not your family because they never cared about you in the first place. No one will love you like I do. You need me, y/n."

By the time the family saves y/n and brings her back to the cave for medical attention. She's consumed by guilt and almost believes she deserved any harm done to her. Will cry to Barb about this and only Barb.

Concerned by this revelation Barb will tell the whole family. Bruce is worried as it's clear that y/n's mental state is worsening. He knew that it would be after bad being kidnapped by Jeremiah, he just didn't think it would be this bad. Bruce and Tim have the same idea to get y/n another therapist if she's still not seeing one.

Jason and Damian are mad that y/n would think that she deserves any pain. Jason is kinda, sort of, not really more understanding about the whole thing than Damian. He gets how she could feel that she failed Jeremiah. If she has revealed that they had been dating and she can't or won’t give up on him, everyone is conflicted and concerned.

Dick has had the most romantic relationships and will try to convince y/n that Jeremiah is a lost cause now. Leading her to a spiral into a depressive episode. Oops!

If y/n is on the verge of death the family freaking the fuck out. Slowly recovers at the manor and convinces her that staying with them is the best thing for her. Depending on if her injury is life-threatening or not will determine how cooperative she is.

Getting Killed by a Villain

Doesn't matter who it is Jason is shooting them on the spot. Though with how emotional and choked up he's getting, he'll probably miss. Damian would react the same way if his whole body didn't stop upon seeing y/n's lifeless eyes. He doesn't want to step near her to see if it was true that he lost his sister.

Bruce, Dick, and Tim will force themselves to act professionally. They're still in their hero personas and killing was a strict no. If the whole family is there then whoever killed y/n is getting a beating of their life.

It could also depend on who's at the scene. Bruce and Dick hold on to the moral code that killing is wrong. This will prevent any further killings from happening.

Damian and Jason would probably end up killing the villain after seeing y/n's corpse. They know it's not going to bring back y/n, but what else can they do except making the villain to pay their debt?

Tim teeters between the lines. If Bruce or Dick is there then he's on their side of not killing. If it's just Damian and/or Jason then he won't stop them. He won't participate just stands back to let them do their thing.

Depending how and when she died will weigh heavily on their mind. Quick and painless before they got there? At least she didn't have to suffer too much, but still keeps them up at night.

Tortured for hours before succumbing to her injuries? They already feel guilty that they couldn't save her on time, but her last hours of living was being in pain will only intensify it. Out of the whole family, Jason would probably be the most distraught by this. He reopens old wounds and memories. y/n meeting a similar end is horrifying to him.

Get there on time, but it’s too late to save her from her injuries. Then slowly dies in their arms. If they're all there then y/n is dying in Bruce's arms.

"Please tell Jeremiah, I'm sorry and- and that I love him. Tell Norah that I hope s-she achieves her dreams of becoming a doctor. Are- are you still there? I can't see or feel you." She can slightly hear Bruce's deep voice while what seems to be the others are screaming. It's getting harder to hear and her body is starting to feel heavier.

This is the end and everyone knows it. Jason, Tim, and Dick don't want to accept it and are trying to patch her wound(s). Trying to get help there as soon as possible. Bruce and Damian are quiet trying to listen to her soft voice get quieter.

y/n starts slightly laughing, it's a nervous tick. "I always fantasize about having enough courage to end it all. Bu-but I- fuck. I'm such a fuck up." She starts crying and any words of comfort are either not heard or ignored. Starts coughing blood, but that doesn't deter Bruce in the slightest. Damian squeezes her hand though he doubts she can feel it.

"I don't even feel the pain anymore…At least I…At least I'm not dying alone." It isn't long before she stops breathing.

Alternatively, I thought of y/n saying, "I wished I was surrounded by loved ones." But she wouldn't stay that no matter how angry she is at the family. Might think it though.

In both cases of the Valeska twins, y/n would be caught in the crossfire. Jerome isn't going to kill y/n because she's his one and only. Jeremiah isn't going to kill y/n because why would he kill his wife? He's already planned out most of their whole lives and she already signed the mentally fabricated marriage certificate.

Jerome gets into a frenzy seeing y/n drop dead. No one is spared from his wrath. He can't bring himself to look at her body and will just leave. Inactive for a short time before getting back into the swing of things.

She is buried next to Jason. The family will catch Jerome hanging around her grave "talking to her" or something. Who knows what the hell he's doing. They'll have to chase him off or turn on the sprinklers if they want him to leave.

He didn't kill her himself, but he's still responsible for the events leading up to it. Meaning the family isn't going to pull back any punches.

Post-Spray Jeremiah has a similar reaction to y/n's death. Honestly, y/n could have died by just jumping in front of him to take a bullet. Doesn't matter how much y/n should hate him, she can't bring herself to. Ultimately it doesn't matter how she died, Jeremiah will blame Batman or the others for their inability to save y/n. Deflecting any responsibility.

This reinforces that he has to destroy Gotham and make it into his perfect image. y/n always talked about wanting to make the world a better place and that's exactly what he's doing.

If she dies in his arms he'll make a quick escape with her body. Having Echo hold back everyone to buy him time. Buries y/n in an undisclosed location and the tombstone will stay y/n Valeska instead of l/n or Wayne.

If he knew of the family's identity, he'd make subtle jabs at them. Mocking them for their mishandling of y/n. When or if he takes over Gotham he'll make sure that they all have front-row seats of the destruction before killing them off.

If he's feeling ruthless he might just have one of his followers get plastic surgery to look like y/n. Even change the pitch of their voice to get close enough to y/n's. Then send the follower after them and make various claims about how they lied about caring about her. How they let her die on purpose. That she'll never forgive them.

Traumatizing the whole family. Will make his follower's death gruesome just fuck with them and have them relive that day.

Bruce regrets not having kept y/n closer. He has a lot of 'should haves’ and 'if only’ in his head. He knows that's not going to do anything, but it'll take a while to accept her death. Always visits her grave every week.

Dick wishes that he'd been a better brother to y/n. He'll often wonder if she's looking down at them from above. Any mention of her will upset him for a while. Tim feels the same as Dick but often finds himself reminiscing about those happy moments. When they're smiling and laughing, once the memory is over he's left feeling melancholy.

Barbara is heartbroken by this. y/n always talked about how she wanted a normal domestic lifestyle. How much she loves Jeremiah and believes that he's the one. Now she's in the dirt and never experienced that simple quiet life she wanted. Carries a photo of y/n and her smiling on her all the time. Believes that y/n is in a better place where she can live out her dreams. One day Barb will see her again and give her a bone-crushing hug.

Jason and Damian think of throwing her body into Lazarus Pit if they have access to her body. Jason seriously thinks of it for only a minute before throwing it out. The pit messed him up and he can't handle bringing y/n back only for her mental turmoil to worsen. Damian doesn't think about that. He wants to apologize for all he's said and done. He wants his sister back, but the family is quick to turn down the idea. Explaining how it could only lead to more pain.

Damian would most likely listen to the family since they're technically right. Although there is a small chance that he wouldn't listen and do it anyway. Right out of the pit, y/n's thinking of her only love. Tries to run back to Jeremiah, but Damian is not having any of that. 

When he returns to the manor with y/n tied up the whole family will have a verbal MMA fight. After that, they lock y/n in a nicely furnished room with hidden security cameras. y/n is like a zombie. Only has one thing, rather one person on her mind. She's a shell of who she once was.

At least they have a second chance, right?

y/n can not go ten minutes without talking or asking about Jeremiah. Will speak with herself if there isn't anyone else with her.

I think this turned out horrible, but hope you enjoyed this. Feel free to ask anything else as my inbox in always open. Also sorry for misspells or grammar mistakes, kinda rushed this.

jaime reyes bf headcanons (+yandere)

jaime reyes x gn!reader yandere headcanons under the cut warnings (under the cut): kidnapping, stealing, manipulation (from scarab), stalking when i talk abt scarab, i'm talking young justice scarab btw

jaime reyes is the type to spray all of your clothes with his cologne, so you (and everyone else) can smell him 24/7

he’s the type to carry your books or your bags if you mention in passing that you were kinda tired

if you’re out on a date with jaime and he sees your eyes linger on something, he immediately goes back to buy whatever you looked at

he knows what color matches your skin, so if he’s getting you guys matching jewelry (and he mostly def would) he would get the right color for your skin

and also going off of this, he knows if you were bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc like he knows your preferences and tastes so well bro im GONNA BE VIOLENTLY ILL

jaime would always offer to study with you, but would most def get distracted and try to make out with you

LIKE he starts off by making it so with every right answer, he gives you kiss and then things get heated ykkkkkkk ;)

his family absolutely adores you too like his mom constantly cooks for you and teaches you recipes, his grandma teaches you how to sew, his uncle and his dad are chill with you, and you’re best friends with his sister like ong you’re one of them.

scarab would most def by suspicious of you at first cuz why tf are you the only thing that jaime thinks about (it’s insufferable)

but once it realizes that you’re not a threat, he’s chill with you

if you know that jaime is blue beetle, you def mess around with scarab, but you guys team up to make fun of jaime (obviously jaime is telling you what scarab is saying until you guys team up then he refuses to talk)

jaime is such a cutie, he’s a total flirt when you guys meet, but once u guys start dating, he’s totally shy and like asks for permission to hold your hands and to kiss you until he gets more comfortable then hes literally all over you OIABGIEUWop

yall know that tiktok trend with that scene from ?100 days of summer? where one person goes “i love the smiths” and the other goes, “what?” “i love the smiths.” and then the other person like pulls you into a kiss and ot4ro;twf’gb’o its so you and jaime OPNF:OEJP if anyone wants a ref video lmk ill post it <3

yandere :)

jaime reyes was kinda totally normal abt u before the scarab

like yes, he knows ur entire schedule, where you live, and takes candid blurry pictures of you from across the hall or smth (very girl of him) (i knew a girl who did this exact thing for a guy she liked like honestly it was so insane i was really concerned abt her)

but he would never like act on it, he was very self-aware abt it like he knew he was lowkey acting insane

untillll scarab showed up, obviously he had forgotten abt his crush on you while he was in college (GOTHAM UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but now that you’re both graduated and back home. jaime gets to see you again every time he passes your workplace on his way to work. now that he gets to see you, his obsession with you is back and THREE THOUSAND times worse becuz of monsieur scarab

scarab feeds into jaime’s delusions that you’re both meant to be with each other, his sister tries to make him understand that his feelings are like super concerningly weird asf, but scarab knows that if jaime is obsessed with you to an extreme, it could make jaime easier to manipulate, so it tells jaime that his sister doesn’t understand, but you know who does? the alien attached to his back

jaime would break into your room/apartment (whether you’re staying with ur parents or nah) he would smell your clothes, your soaps and lotions, your bed cover

total underwear stealer imo like he saw the opportunity and is going for it honestly i respect it

he’d try to work up the courage to ask you out, and he’s so smooth with it and (obviously) you say yes

first things are calm yk, but as your relationship progresses (very fast), you see a lot of the red flags and try to exit stage left

but jaime’s not down for that like you’re the love of his life, however he lets you go cuz he’s got a plan

he preps the old blue beetle base and straight up kidnaps you

he’d have you tied up cuz you were putting up a fight and you’d watch as jaime fucking panics and paces back and forth yk

jaime’s not the type to hurt you, so he’s very sweet with you. even when you toss your food at his head, slap him, kick him, yell at him, it doesn’t matter. he’ll take it cuz he can’t bear the thought of hurting you

he still won’t let you go tho

scarab reassures him, now that you’re here, you can’t leave him. you won’t ever get hurt.

Yandere!Roman Sionis x reader

Notes: i hate him but i watched Birds of Prey and felt the need to write this, maybe a bit out of character cuz i prefer soft yanderes

Warnings: mentions of kidnapping and murder

He's just about as delusional as yanderes get

Honestly there's hardly any difference between regular Roman and yandere Roman

He genuinely believes that you two are soulmates, meaning, he immediately ditches all other women he's been talking to

His emotions switch up so fast, he can do from 1 to an 100 in a second, in fact, a lot of people know him for his dramatic and aggressive outbursts

But now that you're here, there's finally a way to calm him down, seriously, he could literally be in the middle of the biggest temper tantrum of his life but as soon as he sees you, with that scared look on your face, all the anger goes away

Blows damn near all this money on gifts for you, you'll get all of life's finest luxuries whether you like it or not

And naturally you're protected in Gotham, no one dares to even look at you, shit you may as well be the Joker's s/o

Anyone stupid enough to even dare say something even remotely negative about you better hope Roma. doesn't find out, otherwise they will be begging for the sweet release of death soon enough

Wants to wear matching jewelry

And matching outfits

If he has a meeting of any kind he wants you to be there 1. to make sure he doesn't go ballistic 2. cause he hates being away from you for long 3. you're the eyecandy ;)

He let's you have some freedom, like you can go shopping, clubbing and out with friends but he does insist on regular checkups to check on your well-being

But make so much as one attempt at escaping him and you'll be tied up and in his arms before you know it

Gets super dramatic with birthdays or anniversaries. Everyone in Gotham has to hear him talk their ear off about how he has the best s/o

As he says, you're just too cute, how could he not?

[j0kers-light]

An idea has been floating around in my head. How would J react to finding a child? Like they’ve either been abandoned or they’re lost or maybe even kidnapped and he happens to stumble across them. Would he do anything, purposefully scare the kid more cuz it’s amusiiiing (SHEESH Joker🤧) or just ignore them, orrrr? I can’t decide his thoughts about kids; at most he’s probably just indifferent, finds them annoying or MAYBE somewhere deep inside find them almost endearing?? Just to the extent of, “they’re easy to entertain and play around with” *Cue Joker acting like a child himself* Apologies Choas, this is a lot, I’m just trying to gather opinions!!

Joker with a child 😀 almost fell out of my office chair when I read this ask earlier! and anon it’s never too much! Don’t apologize! Send everything you have! I got carried away so here’s an unnecessarily long answer!!

If the child is kidnapped, guaranteed Joker is involved PURELY BY ACCIDENT! The poor kid was taking a nap in the getaway van (Kids am I right??? So weird.) How was J supposed to know!? Now Bats and the GCPD thinks he abducted someone’s demon offspring. He most certainly did NOT! He resents the title; Child Abducter. Like he’s actually gonna return it 🙄 pfft. Of course it being an adolescent roughly 7-16yr. Does letting the kid become an official gofer count as good parenting? Wait. He’s not considering becoming one!!!

Unrelated: The kid is surprisingly good at driving. J highkey wants to hire them for future jobs 🤣😭 “uh.. yeah you can drive on the uh sidewalk.. have at it.” Later on Frost explains what GTA is to Joker; they’re hired. 😂

If the child is lost Hoooo boy. I’m feral at the thought of a younger kiddo (like 1-6yr) crying for their parents in a panicked crowd (totally not Joker’s fault) and J is like “ew” before getting away but the child grabs the back of his jacket. Now there’s a child hanging from Joker and he could care less. Goes about his day as normal. I’m taking murdering sprees, at least two other robberies etc. Eventually he gets annoyed by the excessive amount of giggling, this kid having a ball swinging around! but they’re ruining Joker’s image. Cue J grabbing the child by their leg, “how do I turn this thing off” pokes their baby rolls (unknowingly makes the kid laugh more; all the goons are horrified). Y/n fainting when Joker comes home with a child dangling from his shoulder that’s chewing on his Swiss knife. Wayyyy too close to the blade. The child laughs at you falling down. “You think that’s funny brat? Wait til I hold ya ransom.” the child is later rescued/found after their parents make an undisclosed payment..

If the child is abandoned (rip to my ovaries) Joker sees a bit of himself watching the child cry in the dirty cardboard box, (or whatever they were left in) in the abandoned building everyone was hiding in. Frost tells him to kill it or something and receives a stab wound for his.. well, frostiness. There is something about this child that makes Joker feel… sigh, he hates it but the minute the child sees J’s clown face and their eyes connect? IT'S OVER! Joker cleans Carter’s out and he practically buys Gerber stock with the ridiculous amount of stuff he buys this child.

If Bats can have crime fighting orphans, why can’t J have a criminal one? This tiny human thing is coming with him. If it’s a boy, Gotham has a new generation to fear and if it’s a girl, that’s even worse. Gotham City is theirs forever!

robin era jason, dick, and babs headcanons because there’s too much comedic potential to ignore

- dick and babs were the ultimate gossip buddies. whenever dick was with the titans for long periods of time, babs always filled him in on everything

babs: dick you’ll never believe what hal said to bruce last night, i even have videos. dick, the look on his face please—

dick, immediately locking doors so his teammates don’t hear the mad shit about to be dropped on main: tell me everything

- vice versa too, dick filled babs in on everything going on with the titans and all they can say is thank god those lines are bat secured with no villains being able to listen in, imagine deathstroke hearing through bat gossip that joey’s dating who?!?! 😳

- batkids have been and always will be the holder of superhero gossip. it’s a business, you see, but we’re getting off topic 😡

- lmfao anyways this is literally how dick finds out about jason

babs: anyways, jason—

dick: who the fuck is jason

babs: ....

dick: barbara?!?!

babs: ok promise you won’t freak out

- babs and dick’s first reaction upon meeting jason being “why is he so small i wasnt that small” “dick you were literally nine when you were robin—“ “he’s tiny” it’s like those two share the same braincell

- i’m making it so that dick gave jason his number earlier because i feel like it 😡😡😡 (not that it changes much other than the fact that i want more gossip dropped in dm’s)

- when dick gave jason his number, he went to babs like “give me jason’s number” “didn’t you literally just give him your’s?” “ya but i’m gonna make sure he texts me” “ya ok that’s fair”

- whenever jason didn’t want to be in the manor (fight with bruce, boredom, etc) he went to wherever the fuck babs lived and they would facetime dick and talk mad shit. it was a thing.

- despite them all being able to drive, babs was the only one during this time with an actual, legitimate, legal license (jason was too young to have a license and dick is too lazy/busy/whatever-excuse-he-wants-to-use to take the permit and driving test) so babs drove them around everywhere and it was a mess™ consisting of a bunch of backseat drivers

- “dick omg look at this video i found from the batcave” “omg he said robin gives him magic” “robin gives him magic” they both cry about it for years to come

- babs sometimes kidnapped jason after school after telling the head of wayne manor (alfred) and took him to get ice cream, then to the library while she worked. jason was the greatest kid in the library, he even had his own throne special chair just for him whenever he came provided by library staff who adored this absolute angel.

- jason 🤝 babs 🤝 dick -> i believe in annoying yet endearing nicknames supremacy

- nicknames include (some used by some more than others or just one, or by both equally because they’re annoying pick and choose my good people)

little wing (iconic, we all know this one fellas and who uses it)

red (used for babs, absolutely fantastic, but in the future it gets confusing because some people with their goddamn hero names 😡)

boy wonder (classic, babs calls them both that)

barbie (for babs, jason uses this one and he’s the only one able to get away with it)

dickie (jason just really gets away with everything huh)

dickhead (jason’s lucky he’s cute)

baba black sheep (jeez i’m on a roll with babs’ nicknames she’s so nickname-able and that’s very cool and sexy of her)

jay z

jay allen

jay jay jay (shut up, dickhead—)

big bird

and a bunch more i’m too tired to look for them in canon or make new ones up, but you get the idea

- dick can totally bake, and babs and jason keep bugging him when he’s baking and add more chocolate chips while pretending to not notice that he can see them 😡😡😡

- headcanon that jason had hero worship for babs and dick because they’re so cool in and out of costume and it never really went away when he got older listen his older brother and pseudo sister are so cool and that’s not his fault but he’ll never admit it

- barbie movie marathons because barbie is an iconic legend and they all recognize it. they have the fucking “she’s the queen of the WA-A-A-AVES” song memorized along with all other barbie movie songs, they sing it on patrol.

- dick and jason’s sibling dynamic was and is basically “ur a little shit and i hate you but i will literally kill for you”

- dick had tension with bruce while jason was just a little shit who would totally cause drama for the sake of it, and people never take advantage of this absolute power duo for destroying bruce

- dick sending cryptid texts to jason through a burner phone because he’s dramatic jason totally knew it was him about things that drive bruce mad, like leaving the shower turned to the coldest setting before bruce got there, leaving the lights in the batcave on, etc. jason, a wise little child, totally took advantage of this. bruce came to accept his fate

- the gc names, guys the group chat names

- jason crashing into titans tower whenever he wants and dick doesn’t bat (hAH) an eye, occasionally he very sweetly asks babs to come with him and she agrees but only sometimes because some people have jobs, jason—wait dick is being flirted with by who?!?! i’ll leave it up to your imagination ;) and they totally crashed titans missions too

- one time bruce was busy with the league while alfred was on vacation and bruce absolutely could not dip (i’m imagining bruce getting a call from the headmaster during an honest to god fight and bruce just picking up while punching the daylights out of some asshole) (“mr wayne, what is that noise in the background?” “sorry, headmaster, the cat is having a seizure”), so when jason got into a “fight” (read: some jackass picking on jason before he snapped and yelled at him and the bitchass kid tried to punch him and jason’s no quitter) bruce called dick who was an adult and legally family (yes dick is adopted sometime after jason was, stay mad) like “son... son please” and dick was like “oh no need to plead with me, this is too good” but of course this bitchass doesn’t have an actual lisence yet and he was hanging out with babs anyways so he and babs rolled up to gotham academy and the kids stared at them like “holy shit they’re so cool” ya dick and babs are those power couple, whether romantic or not, that turn heads, they’re just that powerful strolled into the office, bailed jason out while intimidating the headmaster because the altercation was the result of school staff negligence of actual bullying like those cliche tropes, said “ayyy you got that brat good” and get him chili dogs or whatever the fandom made robin jason’s favorite food. omg i just made an entire fanfic in rough draft form someone please steal it and write it in full form and send me the link

- jason is very very tiny, you see. babs and dick pick him up and move him for any reason, whether because they want to sit on that chair or to just throw him out of harm’s way and take the bullet for themselves.

- jason and dick both get adorable blushes on their faces it’s genetic yes that’s how genetics work shut up meanwhile babs’ ears turn red when she’s embarrassed and all three of them clown each other for it

- i yelled about this to my mutual (cough cough @littlespaceboii) who also added to this absolute dogshit headcanon and then in the discord full of mutuals, but the basement of wayne manor is haunted. dick found it when he was a little gremlin (i stand by that dick was the original demon child) (“you see damian, before there was you there was me” the real reason he was good with damian lmfao) and was like “omg this is so cool” @littlespaceboii came up with that it was just alfred fucking with bruce and so when jason first came and dick was comfy around him he was like “so have you been in the basement” and jason was like “im literally robin i’ve been in the batcave?!?!” and dick goes “no the basement, the haunted one” and jason’s like “hAUNTED?!?!” cuz jason has at least some self preservations and knows not to fuck with the spookies until he too became a spooky and bruce was like “there’s no ghost it’s not haunted” because he’s a skeptic and a party pooper and babs is like “no go on let him finish” even though she knows full well there are no ghosts or does she? and uhhhh basically they becomes ghostbusters 2.0 but cooler and funnier

- this trio is basically baby pan/bisexual jason and two resident expert pan/bisexuals solidarity but that’s literally canon. they go to pride every year that jason’s alive what who said that?

- they all tease each other for their crushes like all siblings/family friends do, i don’t need to say it but it’s important that’s emphasized for my well being

- yelled about this in the discord to the mutuals who added onto this absolute train wreck too, but jason used to play baseball during his robin days, and dick never showed up to those games with being busy as an excuse, but babs always showed up with bruce and alfred and took pictures for dick so dick could be like “mlb players are jobless now that little wing is on the scene” babs (and sometimes bruce) always shouted loudest for jason whether he was in the field or in the dugout and jason would get this extremely adorable blush on his face (jason finds out in the future why dick never showed up (cough cough ptsd from two face’s massive baseball bat which led to everything that came after including being fired and veangance academy and nearly killing two face and omg that’s a ride) and is like oh my god my childhood is even more ruined—)

- remember when i said dick got adopted after jason did in this new absolutely fabulous canon i just created? bruce did that because “ahhh fuck that’s my kid and i want him to know i love him through every means possible since i have the ability to do so” i believe in good dad bruce supremacy and made a whole thing where he invited dick to dinner for like a week to work up the courage and bonding to ask him and show him the adoption papers and then everyone cried :) bruce decided to finally adopt dick after jason referred to dick as his brother and bruce was like “...oh” and alfred was like 👀

- dick, as the first child hero and one of the first heroes period like at least a year or two before babs, holds the “back in my day” card over literally everyone in the hero community in general and pulls it out to annoy babs and jason even tho babs literally joined the scene only a year or two after dick

jason, shaking in his panties: it’s so fucking cold

dick, standing strong in his tits out outfit, who had to wear the panties on his own decision: oh, you’re cold? back in my day—

babs, throwing her boot at his face: god shut the fuck up—

and then dick doesn’t give back her boot and it becomes a whole thing with lots of tackling and play fighting and someone nearly gets thrown off they rooftop for funsies but anyways

also on a side note, babs would take off her cape and wrap it around jason whenever she noticed his discomfort with the weather, or use the weather as an excuse whenever she saw him uneasy for whatever reason and they never mention it to each other

- yelled about this in the discord to the mutuals at some point too holy shit i have friends, but those three are team rocket. they went out as team rocket for halloween one year after bullying bruce to let jason out only jason because he can’t tell dick and babs what to do and jason is under his care and when they do convince him, dick and babs bully jason into being meowth. manifesting jason in a meowth onesie ARTISTS PLEASE—

- dick finally took his license seriously and took his driver’s test after babs became paralyzed.

- those were a rough few months for those three. and then another rough few months for those two

- yikes, sorry to throw angst at you (sorry (unfeeling)) anyways, in the future alfred finds those old photos and shows the rest of the fam, so dick and babs bully jason, 6’2 jason that towers way above both of them, and once again bullies him into being meowth “for tradition, little wing!” “shut up, dickhead” the rest of the batkids lose their shit over this, naturally. bruce and alfred stand in the back teary eyed reminiscing the old days when things were a little more simple.

- discowing walked so terrifying handsome squidward red hood helmet could run (even tho the ugly helmet tripped and fell and missed the mark because discowing wasn’t ugly and will always remain superior, i feel i have committed a terrible crime comparing the two)

dick: jason what the fuck is that

jason: it’s fashion

dick: it’s terrifying

jason: i’m only following in my older brother’s footsteps 😔

dick: listen here, you little shit strangles him haha just kidding that illegal wait theyre vigilantes they don’t follow the law—

- these three and cass refer to the rest of the batkids as “the kids” (if she’s older than jason, sometimes she is and sometimes she isn’t and i’m really confused but whatever)

- babs and dick’s relationship with jason pre death literally shaped how jason treats his siblings post pit madness like he literally goes “what would red and big bird do?!??” when he needs to go into big brother mode over the “little ones” (“little” because tim and steph are adults and duke is nearly an adult himself oh my god he’ll graduate from high school soon and jason never got to do that himself he’s totally going to the ceremony legally dead or not) 🥺

- holy trinity continue hanging out with each other, whether lunch or games or whatever, and just enjoy each other’s company after long, rough years

Today marks the beginning of a three day weekend for most people. For all Jason knew, Dick could have gotten caught up in the traffic between Blüdhaven and Gotham as everyone rushed to get the best camping spots in the pathetic excuses of hills and mountains surrounding New Jersey. 

So yeah, Jason wasn't worried. Nor was Bruce as he tried to scold Tim and Damian for predicting how angry Alfred the Human would get if they test if Alfred the Cat could walk on the ceiling. Duke and Cass didn't even look worried despite their commendable most-of-the-time accurate gut feelings. They were just debating if pineapple on pizza should be a capitol offence.

Jason personally agrees with Cass that pineapple on pizza is actually good and people who don't like it only don't like it because of the meme.

Not tagging cuz I don't know who's already been tagged <3

[coolmaycroft]

So I went ahead and Read “Gotham High”

And Imma just give my takes on why this comic is bad:

Dialogue: All the characters speak in one liners. Never does it feel like real people are talking. It seems the author wanted to make their speech hip and stylized but it just comes off as clumsy and cringy. Seriously, even Riverdale's dialogue is more believable.

Characters: This is by far the biggest offense. Far from the "they made everyone minorities" argument, the characters are bad because they're flat like planks and dull like cradboard cut-outs.

Bruce is a broody bad boy with no motivation in the plot. Why does he want to avenge Harvey? sure we're told because he wants justice but we're never explained where does the sense of justice come from. He never has a real struggle in the book. He's great at everything he does, everyone wants to be around him, we never see him boubt himself or struggle with adaptiing to a new place.

Jack also has no motivation in the entire story. We see that he wants to leave his house and have a better life with Selena but we never see him do anything to accomplish this, nor does his motivation conflict with any of the charaters. Also, he just seems too good for an Joker stand-in. The Joker always has an element of danger to him; he commits crimes, he takes pleasure in torturing people but here jack is just too SIMPathetic (pun totally intended). I'm not saying he should be a teenage psycopath but give him some edge, make him a cruel prankster, a drug dealer to get by, give him some resntment torward's Burce's lot in life. Anything to make us be wary of this kid.

Selina is the worst. Period. Now sure, this was her storiy and she's the most fleshed out character but that's as fleshed out as a dead animal carcass. Her actions don't make any sense seeing as how she could've just accomplished her goal without the entire kidnapping plot. Her concern for her father's well-being looks genuine but her relationship with Jack and Bruce doesn't. Sure maybe she never really cared about them but as readers we have to believe she might cere, in order to have a genuine emotional experience. In these case even the love triangle in Twilight felt better done, and that brings me to...

The love triangle: Now if there's one guilty pleasure of mine are trasy romance sub-plots and cheesy love triangles. this is not it.

To start with this doesn't feel like a Love Triangle. In a love triangle we have 3 characters in a tug-of-war to see who ends up with who. This Tug-of-war has to have suspense as to whom will the choosing party end up with. Here we can clearly see Selina has genuine feelings torwards Bruce while Jack is just a tool for her plans. Bruce and selina get some genuine heartfelt moments, while her chemistry with jack is more friendly and the only times it crosses into romance is to make burce jealous or get something from jack. At no point do we feel doubt that she might choose Jack over Bruce; thus there is no suspense, no thrill, no danger.

Next, the friendship between these 3 also doesn't feel believable. I feels like they rushed the development of their relatioship cuz they only had so much space to fit the kidnapping plot. We never know what does Bruce see in Jack to consider him a friend: all he does is impress Bruce with some card tricks and bam! friends. We never see them have an exchange of common interests or personal expereinces. Same goes for Selina: why is she friends with jack? maybe they bonded over broken households and that would be interesting to see. Why does she still want to talk to Bruce? He never anwsered any of her letters; I think anyone would be dipleased with that behavior from a friend. Maybe if he had answered a letter right before coming back there would be an element of mystery to this frienship.

As for the Romance, we never see why Selina might struggle to choose between Jack and Bruce. As previously stated neither of them develops enough of a personality to become a good match. Jack is her closer friend and he's cool but, why would Selina want to end up with him? maybe beacuse she's very comfortable with him and she's afraid a romance would ruin their friendship. Why would she want to end up with bruce? Maybe because on top of his looks and money her childood friend is now alluring and mysterious but also lets the burce she knew fom childhood show from time to time (I swear I am NOT projecting on this review). Why do Bruce and Jack are after Selina? sure she's attractive and a flirt but, where is the deep connection that draws both male protagonists?

The fact that all the characters speak in one liners also alienates the reader. Seriously tennagers don't talk like this, no one talks like this.

We could've explored all these possiblities if the pace had been slower, taking time to look at the characters' minds, their lives and their relation to one another but for some reason the kidnapping plot was necessary to be shoved in beacuse this is still a superhero-based story and we need high action stakes to make it resemble the source material. All in all, this garbage. not hot garbage but mediocre warm garbage that doesn't even stand out in the pile of crap. The only thing salvagable in this thing is Ivy's streetwear design.

Final score: 0/10

[thattimdrakeguy]

what did you think of the current gotham nights

I only read the latest issue and I assume that’s what you meant,

So I can tell ya that I thought it was really bad. It’s the type of things that panders to fans, but it’s really really flawed.

If this was a fan fiction, it would just be slightly below average. Characterization would suck, but when it’s a fan fic writer were this isn’t their job, and don’t have the knowledge of everything, it’s easier to forgive and not mind, because that’s pretty ridiculous to get angry over.

But this is an OFFICIAL DC Comics published comic. Their is higher standards to them. It just stunk fiercely, and I’m not even gonna give them an excuse, because they don’t deserve it. They’re making comics, they barely try, and getting money for it.

Everyone’s just rounded down to one trait, literally in the beginning in Tim’s case.

And one of the other traits he has, that made him important to the Batman legacy in the first place, which is understanding Batman and why Robins so important, is given to DICK.

I assume because this writer never did any research on Tim, and I don’t even think Steph, because she’s a non-character. She just says the generic lines anybody could, because they realized she wasn’t saying much, or at least that’s my guess, because I kept forgetting she was here. Maybe just cause she blends into the background more cuz the colorist dulled all the colors. Like Tim’s costume is just gray now.

Getting back on track though, when you can’t even be bothered to read a character’s origin when it’s your job to write them in official media, you’re a crappy writer, you are dog shit. This is just pathetic. They couldn’t have been bothered. Even editorial didn’t bother correcting that.

My guess for this is just because everyone makes Dick the motivational, inspiration Robin, which isn’t completely wrong. But don’t give him Tim’s spiel when he’s literally right next to you. It’s not like they’re bothering to give him any other traits besides smart and mildly pessimistic.

And it half-way acts as a character study too, so that makes it EXTRA EXTRA bad. You just can’t be cocky and assume you know the characters, when the only thing you make clear is that you don’t.

But I wouldn’t expect anything else from the writer that thought Damian, the kid that was abused and broken over and over again till he became a perfected warrior, who thinks of himself as an adult, and has only been shown having more sophisticated interests (besides a laptop and I think an iPhone? But to be an iPhone or iPod or what ever makes no sense. I don’t even understand the laptop, because that’s in his origin, and why the heck would Ra’s give their experiment kid that they abuse about every day access to the world wide web?), interests such as like painting, a freaking interest in video games, and specifically acting like his favorite would be called called “Cheese Viking”, when he hasn’t played with anyone his age (Super Sons wasn’t around yet, and if it was it was very very very early on. I think Super Sons sucked regardless cuz of bad characterization), he’s been shown in the Manor for three years without an interest that I can recall, like he lives with Batman and an elderly former secret service agent as a butler, and it doesn’t fit his personality. This writer couldn’t be bothered to put care into anything. Most thought is cheap fan service that doesn’t work from a character perspective.

Basically what I’m saying is, when I saw the name “Tim Seeley”, I knew it was going to suck, because he just never tries all that hard. He just does fan service to scrap by.

This is the guy who does so much fan service, he co-wrote “Grayson”, a series notorious for having scenes that are so weirdly sexualized for the fans, that it can come off as sleezy, and in a lot of cases, just writing Dick to be constantly sexually harassed. It’s not great the way he chooses to write.

He even writes Dick and Damian’s relationship to be like Dick and TIM’s. Dick and Tim was absolute big brother little brother. Dick was more serious with Damian, he was his mentor and father figure, he was stern, not Batman stern but he was still in-charge of him and wanted him to learn, he used to let Damian know what he did wrong (at least some of the time) and sometimes even taught him lessons the hard way. Dick and Damian love each other, but they always get misrepresented as a Dick and Tim relationship. Which I don’t understand, because even though I like Dick and Tim’s more, since I am a Tim fan, Dick and Damian’s is way more interesting from a writing perspective, and they always just write it so bad to be pandery.

When you take take one of Tim’s most iconic traits, and well-known relationship, and give it to others, you should not be writing these characters, or a character study on any scale.

Jason in this is just an angry, cynic. And I like when he’s angry and a cynic, but they just make him absolutely annoying. Jason has charm. Read Under the Red Hood, he does horrific stuff, but he’s a charming personality despite that. In this they just made him almost whiny. Like a bad parody of Jason rather than the actual spectacle the real character is.

Nothing about this was good.

It’s only getting by on fan service, but I’m not blinded by any fan service, because I just want good stories that do the characters justice. Which is ultimately what any critic would go off of if they care. “Does it tell a good story?” “Does it do the characters right?” “Was it ever bland anywhere?” “Does it not make sense?” “Are there any mistakes?”

Those are basic things that people do for actual critiques, not just saying your personal opinion as ya read without much thought, and an opinion is an opinion, but I review stuff so this is what I go off of in a lot of my posts.

The story is half attempting to be a character study, and it failed very quickly, so it doesn’t tell a good story.

How the story failed was because Tim Seeley is a lazy writer who doesn’t know the characters better than a superficial level. So it doesn’t do the characters right.

It’s bland because they’re in the same spot the whole issue. Which could be good, but they’d have to actually do the characters well, to make the story interesting, which they obviously didn’t, so it’s just bland and tasteless.

And it doesn’t even always make sense, because why is Steph there? I know she’s a Robin, I consider her a Robin, but not in this timeline. She literally sees for herself that she was Robin another timeline, and gets emotional because she wasn’t in this one. So why would Clayface kidnap her with the other Robins, if she’s not a Robin in this timeline? Clayface logically wouldn’t know that, because he wasn’t involved with the Bat-Family at the time that was found out. At least nowhere in a place to overhear it as far as I remember. I’m pretty sure only a few people ever knew it too.

And Tim is sadly ... “Drake” in this issue. But-- Damian calls him “Red Robin” in a scene, and I can’t tell if that’s him being snarky or rude by calling him by his old name, but to me I just think it was a mistake.

The issue was just garbage. Like I can’t say anything good, besides the concept could’ve been good, but that’s still saying they did a crap job with the concept.

Tim Seeley shouldn’t have been the one to write it. I don’t know who because I have yet to see a DC writer that can actually right the characters well, and not just write them superficially and make stuff up on their way.

DC isn’t in the place where I think they could actually make this work. They don’t have the talent or the range.

Still have Gotham feelings. Some are probably unpopular/nitpicky but they're how I feel. Spoilers for Gotham Series.

The evolution of Edward Nygma into the Riddler is the absolute best thing about Gotham and no, you can't change my mind.

The relationship between Alfred and Bruce is the Second best thing.

The costumes and make up of the villians are all fucking awesome.

I like how they gave Harvey more depth.

I really. Really. Really. Really. REALLY. Hate Jim Gordan. He's obnoxious. Judges everyone to his standards but never holds his own self accountable. He can make mistakes. But they can't.

They introduced the Joker way to early and gave way to much of his backstory.

Cameron does a fucking phenomenal job of both Jerome and Jeremiah. Perfect face. Perfect voice. Perfect mannerisms. Just a perfect cast.

I don't like that the Joker knows who Bruce Wayne is since a main part of his character is supposed to be that he doesn't care WHO Batman is, he only cares about the cat and mouse chase.

I think the 2nd to last episode should have been the finale. It would have been perfect. Everything set up and all of the characters looking to the future. Everyone knowing what's to come but uncertainty still there.

Having the last episode be 10 years later is stupid. Nygma and Oswald were jailed for 10 fucking years? Really? And then they reduce them to comical idiots. Like in the comics I get making them more humerous. But after proving for 5 seasons they're both smart. This shit is just demeaning. Gordon is trying to retire only to...not when Batman comes back. The only reason they even introduced the retirement thing was soley for him to have something to do. We see Selina all grown up but never see Bruce. Bruce becomes Batman, who cares it's not really a well earned reveal. Barbara gets completely absolved of her past because.....baby? How many people has she killed? But she got a pass.

Jeremiah gets hit in the face with a spray and gets the crazy forced on him. And I know, he says it didn't have an effect it just turned him grey, but that's not true. Because his motivation is still to be obsessed with Bruce. Just like Jerome. He states he's sane but then still goes along with Jerome's after death plan. Jerimiah wasn't doing crazy shit before and now all of a sudden he is. Just seems stupid. If you wanted him to be crazy just like Jerome maybe explain more how he was just as crazy as Jerome as kids. Or show him being crazy before he gets caught by Jerome.

The freaking league of shadows is killed so damn easy multiple times. How did any of them get into the league if they were gonna be so easy to kill?

Why did Bruce Wayne Billionaire not have a better security system? He gets kidnapped and broken into way to many times. And having characters, Selina, point it out doesn't change that it's stupid.

Jonothan Crane didn't get enough time. (I just love him and wanted more)

Bane kind of comes in and becomes the shows plot lord the last minute.

I hate Jim Gordon. Pretends to be such a damn boyscout.

The fact that most of the show is more about a gangster turf war is a different take on the story and I love it.

I'm torn between liking that they showed lesser known characters, like Jane Doe, and being upset that it was more as an easter egg since they're not very developed.

Why can Victor Zsas not hit a damn thing when he's shooting?

I like how they show all of the different kinds of mental illness that runs rampant in this city.

The science of many of the villians is well explained. Even if it's not realistic.

Hugo Strange is never given a real reason why he's such a sadistic fuck. I love that shit.

Lucius is smart as hell and comes in with fun toys whenever you see him.

Did I mention that I hate Jim Gordan?

Selina and Bruce's relationship is awesome.

Gotham was such a good show. I really enjoyed it as a character study show. Watching the characters grow and become what they've turned into and why is so good.

Having the show circle around Gordan makes sense but does not make it any easier to watch the parts that focus only on him.

There's alot I could say about this show. Probably could talk for hours about it honestly. Cuz I have lots of feelings. About wasted oppurtunities. Shit that was amazing. Shit that was complex. Too simplistic. My opinions about what I like or hate just because it doesn't suit me. No valid reasons at all, just because.

Really liked Gotham. And honestly. I'm going to pretend that the show ends with Ed and Oswald looking to the future of rebuilding their gangs, Bruce goes off to learn how to be Batman, Alfred is rebuilding the Manor, Gordan is working to make Gotham a safe place for his new baby, Barbara looks toward changing into being a mom toward Barbara, Joker is "Brain Dead" and Selina is left alone to figure out wherr her future is headed. Everyone is looking toward their respective futures. We don't have to be told what happens. You don't have to show us. People who read the comics already know what's coming. And people who haven't....well it doesn't explain anything anyway, just introduces new ideas and then leaves it. It's all tacked on for no reason.

Leave us looking toward the future. Our imaginations will take care of the rest.

"What Happened?" Part II (Batfam X Reader)

A/N: okay so I couldn’t handle it……I HAD to write the part ii of this asap. So, enjoy! (REQUESTS OPEN) xoxo.
Love, Sara.
Description: you get saved from a Kidnapping. But not after you face near death.

Warnings: cursing, blood and slight angst

______________

‘Why is it always so damn dark in Gotham?’ You thought to yourself as you were walking home one summer night. It was the usual. Nothing out of the ordinary. It was the same old 'up and coming neighborhood’ the same old same old. Except… why did you have this feeling of you being…eerily watched? You try not to look nervous or suspicious as you try and dial 9-1-1. Unfortunately, your phone was not on silent and the dial tone could be heard loud and clear.

'Well shit’ you said to yourself moments before you were on the floor bleeding… from your… somewhere from your abdomen. You didn’t feel anything for a few moments until you hit the pavement in slow motion. God you were warm In your own blood like that. You almost pitied yourself for thinking of letting yourself go. I mean, what did you have to live for? Your parents kicked you out ever since you dropped out of college and you’ve been working minimum wage at some crappy fast food joint. You barely have dinner sometimes just to pay rent. You sometimes sneak cold chicken nuggets with you home. Your supervisor knows, but doesn’t make a big deal about it, as his 'family business’ is going down hill anyway. You didn’t know why you had this life but you don’t care anymore. You were the happiest and calm you’ve been in months. Mind you, you were bleeding on the pavement, but you were peaceful , warm, your mind not racing with guilt, anxiety and failure for once. You start feeling yourself shift. Like you’re being dragged. You want to try and resist, you really do, but you go limp. You don’t want to fight anymore, because if we can be real here, what are you fighting for? “Ah, why’d you have to stab her like that, Monty. He said we need them alive.” Said one man who was in the drivers seat. “Well she is, aint she?” Said the man dragging you. He quickly propped you on a bed sheet before him and the another man lift you up on the sopping wet, bloody sheet they put you on, and in to a back of a semi. The rest is kind of a blur to you, you vaguely remember being cold afterwards and seeing…. batman? No. that can’t be right. You know. Blood loss causes hallucinations? But you could swear it felt so real.

________________

You hear faint whispers from outside the door. Wait. What. You live alone. Like alone alone. That can’t be right. Your eyes slowly open and you see yourself In a huge bedroom. It maybe even bigger than your studio apartment. You look around, and then under the covers at yourself. Whew, well you’re not naked. So it wasn’t a drunken mistake? Wait. Hold on. You don’t drink. You let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding. You weren’t naked, but you aren’t in your clothes?? You’re in a huge black v neck and what you assume are boxers?. Huh. Okay then. You try and get up to explore where you are and how you got there. But the moment you do, the moment you left up your torso you’re in complete and utter agony. You let out a loud yet unexpected yelp. “What the fuck” you scream, completely forgetting you were in someone else’s house. But you don’t care. WHY IS YOUR SIDE BANDAGED?? You try and touch the bandage to remove it to look under it, but as soon as you touch it you wince in pain. “Mother-” You were interrupted with 3 young men and a boy, all tall, dark and handsome, well almost. Filing inside one by one. You Freeze in the position in which you were in, you know, you with your shirt half up your abdomen and your hand across it. You let out a sigh and you fall backwards. “Please tell me I didn’t sleep with any of you” you say slightly whimpering. “WHat? nO!” Said the one with the extreme under eye bags and the coffee mug. “Well, atleast I didn’t” he said taking a sip of coffee. “Tt, even if someone did sleep with her, we all know it wouldn’t be you, drake” the boy said hastily. “Ooohh” said two other guys in unison. “Shut it, demon spawn” said coffee mug, face red and embarrassed. “Uh, okay, hi, I hate to interrupt whatever this is but can someone explain before I call the cops.” You said patting yourself for a phone. “Never mind” you quickly say as you realize you don’t actually have a phone. “Okay I’ll explain. I’m Jason, this is dick, Tim and Damian.” Wait, you know those names. And how could you not? They’re Bruce Wayne’s sons. “Oh my god. Uh ok” you try and get up, still in pain and agony, but you manage. You run your fingers through your hair and say “am I actually in the manor? Like the Wayne manor? Cuz if I am, why? "Uh, well..” Jason started, but before he could finish, you interrupted. “Wait, and why do I remember seeing Batman, Red hood and Robin? Also, why am I bandaged and in severe pain? Also who’s clothes am I wearing? And where are MY clothes? Also, what happened?” Boy, you sure had a lot of questions. The boys all looked at each other speechless. They all open their mouths and close them, looking over at you. Now is the great time you decide to see spots. You try and walk over to your bed but fall backwards. Jason holds you before you could hit the floor…..again. “This is going to be a long day” he mumbled. _______________

You wake up on a couch. Your head is still spinning and you’re still in someone’s boxers and shirt. You sit up to find, Bruce Wayne, THE Bruce Wayne sitting in front of you with dick, Jason, Tim and Damian standing behind him. “Okay, this is not absurd by any means.” You say to yourself, but everyone heard it. “Hello, I’m sorry but what is your name? I don’t believe any of us are aware of that yet”. Said Bruce with a small smile forming in his mouth. “Uh yeah, sorry about that, I kinda almost died, but I’m (Y/N). Nice to meet you all” you said with a nervous smile. “As you may be wondering what you are doing here, batman brought you here after rescuing you from an illegal organ trafficking circle and brought you here to recover.” Said Bruce with almost no expression. But it clicked. It clicked as you remember fragments of yesterday, it clicked as you remember walking home and being stabbed, it clicks, it all does. “Okay well, why not bring me to a hospital, seems though I would recover just fine there.” You said fully knowing you wouldn’t be. You wouldn’t be able to pay the bills, or pay for rent. “Also how do you know batman?it seems as though, and Please correct me is my calculations are wrong. You don’t have what it takes to stitch me up, perform surgery and deal with such excess amount of blood, in the manor, unless say, you have an underground facility? Say the bat cave? Which would also incidentally mean, that Jason, is obviously the red hood and dick is nightwing, now I’m not a hundred percent sure about this but tim would be Red Robin and Damian of course, Robin. Which would also mean that you already knew who I am and that you are of course batman. You pause for a second to watch everyone’s jaw drop to the floor, and then continue "close enough?” There is absolute silence. But you are enjoying it. Did they not know that you spend most of your time conspiring about the batfamily? Well you knew all of this for months now. And you took absolute pleasure in outsmarting the smartest man in Gotham. Tim breaks the silence by saying “boyyy, I did not see that coming”
