im obsessed with the idea that gothamites 100% know who all the batkids are, like “ for sure Dick Grayson is nightwing #thebuttsmatch” and they figured out all their identities and who it correlates to, “ofc the newest robin with all the swords is Damian Wayne!!” but they refuse to even consider Bruce and The Batman being the same guy. it just doesn’t make sense?? Brucie Wayne, dressing up as a bat and calling himself vengeance???? as if???? also he’s from bristol???? can’t possibly be Brucie. Like they genuinely believe that Bruce is the father to a whole gaggle of themed vigilantes and just doesn’t know it. Anytime his kids disappear during a gala, he gets a bunch of pitiful looks and he can’t leave bc everyone’s looking at him now??
This actually works into a lot of ppls theories that Brucie is The Batman’s sugar daddy, bc clearly they’re together and co parenting the batkids??

Bruce (over the phone): How's your first week at college been?
Tim: Awful. I had to say a fun fact about myself at the floor meeting and the only thing I could think of was I went to the same high school as Nightwing. No one fucking knows who that is out here.
Dick (in the background of Bruce's call): Rude.

Ok but Bruce’s “batglare” except it has specific stages that mean you’re in varying degrees of trouble. Allow me to elaborate:
Level 1: isn’t even really considered a glare in Bruce-speak, more of a suspicious squinting
Level 2: standard Disappointed Dad look, the most you’re gonna get is a reprimand
Level 3: resting Bitch face. Less of a glare and more of a sharp look that WILL follow you around and creep you out
Level 4: worried batglare, features aren’t as sharp as with the standard batglare. Usually smooths out when his kids/teammates stop being idiots and putting themselves in danger
Level 5: standard batglare, regular criminals are usually at the end of it, most of the kids have gotten pretty used to it
Level 6: You’ve Fucked Up. Expect a screaming match or a lecture of at least 30 minutes. Also you’re grounded
Level 7: full batglare on steroids, makes grown men piss their pants, usually reserved for the joker. Most of the kids have received it only once and that was MORE than enough for them to never want to receive it again
Level 8: Alfred.

dp x dc prompt or smth
Danny was lost. Yes, lost.
“Hey, can you point me in the direction of the bathroom?” He asked a random dude.
“HOW DID YOU GET IN THE BATCAVE?!”
“Jeez no need to yell, I just want to find the bathroom man.”
Danny was lost again, damn he has bad luck.
“Hey man, do you know how to get to Crime Alley (or really any other street)?”
“HOW DID YOU GET HERE?! WE’RE 3,000 METERS UNDER THE OCEAN?!”
“My phone won’t work :(“ He says as he looks at his phone, which was not working.

What Happened to GIW Site-13
So! One day, in the middle of a random field in Illinois, there is a Spacial Anomaly that is picked up by the Watchtower's Sensors.
They send a team to investigate, and find a strange facility having suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The Terrain around the Facility seems displaced, like it was dragged along by whatever dropped the Facility there, but the Flora around the Facility matched its surroundings so it couldn't have come from too far away? Where did it come from?
The Justice League doesn't pay too much mind to it at first, busy dealing with their usual mess of problems to do more than contact the local government and send a few Heroes to help with the investigation. It didn't seem to be an active threat at the moment, so sending a few superpowered Heroes are a precaution was seen as a good enough response for the time.
When the first Expedition Team went missing, they took a bigger interest.
They made contact with the Agency that was leading the investigation, a smaller agency known as the GIW that was focused on studying Supernatural Anomalies. They usually wouldn't have been the first choice, given their niche focus, but this was a special circumstance.
The Facility that had been discovered both markings stating that it was "GIW Research Site 13", however the Records they had stated that this Facility was never actually built. There were Plans to build it, but the Agency was hit with Budget Cuts after they failed to provide adequate evidence of the Supernatural, and it was scrapped. They had no explanation for how a Facility that never existed suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
They decided to send in another Team as Investigation and Rescue, this time equipped with the latest technology they GIW had developed called "Ecto-Tech", as well as a Magic User from Justice League Dark for insurance. They managed to maintain Video Contact with the Team thanks to the Ecto-Tech Cameras they had, and what they saw did not sit right with any of them.
The entire Facility was built like a Prison.
Prison Cells, or to be more accurate, Cages, lined the Walls of the section they had entered. Evidence of previous inhabitants Littered the Cells, scratches on the metal and green glowing blood staining the floors were just some of the things they found in those Cages. One of the Technicians on the Team identified the Cages as having been built with Ecto-Tech, despite the fact that the Ecto-Tech they had spent years developing was nowhere near as advanced as this.
As they continued they found Walls covered in more Glowing Green Blood, spelling out haunting messages. "They never wanted to Investigate", "Guys In White", and the most common "What F̷E̴N̸T̴O̸N̷ happened to Site 13"
Delving deeper into the Facility, they eventually found a working Computer Terminal and downloaded as much information as they could, sending it back up to the surface wirelessly, before turning around to begin searching for the other Expedition Team. But when they tried to follow they path back to their starting location, they found that it had changed. The Hallways they had just passed were missing, there were new branches in the path that never existed, and their equipment suddenly told them that they halls they were standing in didn't exist according to the Blueprints they had.
The Camera's didn't last long after that, and the last images sent through the feed were of a glowing green figure slowly approaching the Team from down a dark hallway. It seemed to be dripping with blood. Non-Green Blood.
Of course some of the League wanted to immediately rush in to save them, but it would be too dangerous without knowing more about the situation. They looked at the files they had received from the Team before they disappeared.
From there, they formed a timeline of events.
It seemed that the Facility came from an Alternate History, or another Dimension, similar to their own but with a few changes.
By all accounts it seemed like the timeline of its Original Dimension followed their very closely, until one day in the 80's when the first major discrepancy appeared. On Febuary 12th, 1989 that Universes version of the GIW reported "A True Emergence of multiple Ectoplasmic Entities reported in Amity Park, Illinois, 2:31 PM".
Apparently in that universe, the GIW had been successful in locating evidence of the Supernatural. It seemed like this event allowed them to avoid the budget cuts they had experienced in their own Universe, which was the first major change from their own Timeline. Without the Budget Cut, the GIW managed to build their Facility near where they first spotted the Entity, and from there the timeline continued to diverge.
In that same small town, multiple more sightings of Ectoplasmic Entities were reported, all witnessed to be attacking the civilian population using their abilities. It was also reported that a single Ectoplasmic Entity, thereafter known as "Designation Phantom", was defending the civilain population for unknown reasons.
Eventually the source of these Sightings was tracked down to a pair of Scientists living in Amity Park, who were decades ahead in terms of the study of Ectoplasm and Ecto-Tech, who had managed to open a Portal into another Dimension they called the "Ghost Zone". The GIW Approached them for their research, and eventually hired them on as Scientists. Their names were Dr's Jack and Madeline Fenton.
A quick investigation revealed that Jack Fenton and Maddie Walker did exist in their universe, but Jack Fenton went into Mechanical Engineering while Maddie Walker went into Theoritical Physics. They had never met in the current universe.
According to the Doctors, Ectoplasmic Entities lack the ability to have Sentience, and held a malicious rage to all living beings. They stated that "Ghosts" were simply imprinted memories on Ectoplasm that acted as if it was a thinking entity, and that "Ghosts" should be eradicated at all costs.
Unfortunately, the GIW believed them to be Geniuses ahead of their time and accepted every word that came out of their mouths as absolute fact. Any researchers that protested their claims were quickly fired as to not upset their new Golden geese, and the GIW began to follow their new Mission of eradicating all "Ghosts".
From there was a series of files detailing multiple raids into the Ghost Zone, the capture and detainment of hundreds of Ghosts and "Ecto-Infected Humans", and the gruesomely detailed Experimentation logs of the Dr's Fenton as they studied their Captured specimens.
Many of the people being debriefed later on had to leave the room when they got to that point.
It seemed like the Dr's Fenton were the most proud of the Noteworthy Specimens they had managed to capture and dissect, those which evidence showed were much older and more powerful than the typical ghosts rhey captured. These were collectively designated as the "Ancients" by the Logs.
A Yeti-Entity with Ice Powers. A Shadow-Like Humanoid with Phobokinesis. A Female Humanoid with Draconification abilities. A Four Armed Female Humanoid with Extreme Strength. A Strange Entity with Chronokineses.
But what they were most proud of was one of the first Ghosts ever reported. Designation Phantom.
They particular File was completely corrupted beyond saving, but from the notes surrounding it, it had been a very exciting time for the Doctors.
But now, better informed on the situation and what they may encounter, the Justice League decided on a new plan of action. They still didn't know how the Facility had been ripped out of its Original Universe and into theirs, but for now their objective was simply a rescue mission for both expedition teams while Justice League Dark worked with the GIW on countermeasure for Ghosts. From the Files their Universes GIW had on Ghosts, they were certainly still dangerous, and allowing them to escape the facility would be a problem. So they needed containment measures.
The Justice League prepared for their Rescue Operation, unknowing of the eyes watching their every move.
He had dragged that accursed Facility into this world in an attempt to get help, and now all he could hope for was that this version of the Justice League would act better than their own. And if they didn't, he could always try a different universe.
All would be as it should be. Eventually.

I’ve seen quite a few things that are like ‘oooo Crime Alley hated the new Robin (Tim) after Jason dies mememe’
And I just- cannot imagine that that’s true.
Like yeah, they’d definitely be upset that Jason (one of their own, a lucky one, one that got away) ended up dead and ‘replaced’ but also, Tim was a kid?
Crime Alley isn’t full of savages, it’s full of kind people in really shitty circumstances who had just watched Batman nearly kill a lot of people for months. Surely they would be terrified for the poor boy?
Yes, crime alley wants Robin gone. Not because he is a ‘Prissy little rich kid’ or something pretentious like that, but because he’s a little kid.
I want a fic where it’s common knowledge that the Red Hood hates Robin and the people of crime alley start shitting on him for it

Part 1
Danny woke up with the sun. Vlad would still be in bed for a few hours yet, so he had more than enough time to deck out the entire house and garden, with help from the ghosts, of course.
He planned to meet the others in the back gardens with some food to make sure nothing would go wrong.
Pandora, Dora, and Dani were the first three there, waiting for him already. And, as he set out the food none of them needed but would eat anyway, Johnny and Kitty showed up. Ember, Box Lunch, Youngblood, Poindexter, and Skulker came together. Walker, Desiree, Fright Knight, The Vultures, Blob Ghosts, and Spectra showed up separately, though in near quick succession. Frostbite, Undergroth, and Ghost Writer had wanted to come along, too, but would only be able to be there for the party itself.
All week, the guests had been arriving and staying in Madison, Wisconsin. They hadn't been able to house anyone because Vlad was going to be the very last to know, so they'd used his money to rent out a hotel for the week of the gala, including another day afterwards.
"Plasmius still doesn't know, right?" Ember asked as soon as everyone had gathered.
Dani started cackling. "Nope!"
"He's suspicious, though," Vulture One said.
"We think he probably noticed the money for the hotel." Vulture Three added.
"He hasn't done anything more than passing glares, though," Danny pointed out.
"He's not said anything?"
"Nope."
"Perfect!" Spectra smiled, "How're you going to break it to him tonight?"
"Well," he started, "I was thinking I play it off as if he was the one to plan it."
"Oh?" Pandora raised her eyebrow, "That won't be easy."
"Sure it will!" Poindexter shouted, "Plasmius is so old, that his memory's going!"
Youngblood was nodding enthusiastically. "We can even have his suit set out for him and everything!"
"What have you done with the acceptance letters?" Dora wondered.
"They're hidden in my closet," Dani said.
Skulker hummed. "And I've taken care of any emails or messages sent to his phone and computer. All went straight to the kid."
Danny snickered. "This is gonna be so much fun!
"Hell yeah!" Johnny cheered.
Fright Knight cleared his throat. "Any last minute arrangements that need taken care of?"
The group paused for a minute, all of them thinking. Finally, Danny said, "Well, other than finally decorating the place, we'll need to get food- We forgot caterers!"
"I can handle that," Desiree said, "Just this once, though," She snapped her fingers and a paper contract appeared in Walker's hand. "Since you're head of security, you should probably hold onto the contracts."
Walker nodded, tucking the papers into his coat. "We'll have some of the Blob Ghosts with us at the gates. Fright will watch the front and I'll take the back. Skulker will be in the security room, and the Vultures will take the rest of the Blobs and watch the skies."
"Why're we even goin' so far f'r dese peoples' 'afety?" Box Lunch, who had only been able to speak for just over a year and was doing fantastically, asked. "They're just rich. Do dey have and re-rede- good tings 'bout 'em?"
Dora chuckled, quieting the others with a glare. "Everyone has redeeming qualities, sweetheart."
"Kitty?" Dani dragged out the word as she asked.
"Almost everyone," Dora corrected swiftly, "Besides, it'll look bad if anyone gets hurt while we're hosting them."
"Speaking of," Pandora spoke up, "Is everyone here going to be attending tonight?"
Youngblood tilted his head to the side. "What'd'ya mean?"
Spectra flipped her hair, which was straight down her back today, over her shoulder. "Only so many of us have human disguises. It's not like we blend in well with the living."
"Well, can't everyone just stay invisible the whole night?" Vulture Two suggested.
"And miss out on all the fun?" Dani almost yelled, "No way!"
Danny hummed. "Our security team has to be here, and may even need to make an appearance. At least Walker and Frighty will have to be disguised."
"Manageable," Fright Knight nodded.
"Got it," Walker agreed.
"Great. Anyone wanting to be guests will have to be disguised as well," Dora pointed out.
"Writer, Frostbite, Undergrowth, and I all have that covered," Pandora said, "Dora, Spectra, Ember, Johnny, and Kitty will all be able to pass as living."
"What about us?" Poindexter glared. He didn't want to be left out of all the fun, and was pretty sure Box Lunch and Youngblood didn't, either.
Dani leaned on his shoulder. "You three will just get to come hang out with me and Wulf in the Keep."
Youngblood's eyes had stars in them as he whipped around and stared at her. "We get to play in the keep?!"
"That'll go well," Spectra laughed.
"I'll stay with them," Dora said.
"You sure?" Danny asked.
"Of course," she nodded, "While being here would be fun, I don't think Wulf is quite ready to handle four trickster spirits."
"And you being there will somehow be better? Neither of you are protectors."
No, but I am a caretaker spirit. And, as long as they don't go anywhere near the catacombs," she shot a serious look at the four children, "I'm sure we'll be fine."
"Alright," Danny accepted, "but Jazz, Tuck, and Sam will probably be ready to help if you need it, okay?"
"Much appreciated."
"What do we still need to do?" Kitty asked.
"Skulker, Walker, Fright Knight, the Vultures, and the Blobs are all on security, so you should all probably start setting that up," Pandora said. They agreed and disappeared. "Ember will handle music, right?"
She waved her hand will a nod, "You got it. Boring, old people classics coming right up."
"Johnny, are you okay with taking over valet?"
"I get to drive other people's cars, right?"
"As long as you don't crash them," Danny added.
"Sure," he smirked, "But I can still prank them, right?"
Danny sighed, but nodded.
"Yes!"
"Kitty-"
"I'll watch over the kitchen," she said.
Pandora nodded once. "Spectra? Desiree?"
"I'll go in as an actual guest," Spectra's smile spelled mischief.
Desiree matched her with a grin of her own, "I'll go with as your date."
Again, Pandora nodded at the two. "I'll come as a guest as well with Ghost Writer, Undergrowth, and Frostbite."
"Settled?" Danny asked. After agreements, he turned to Dani and the kids. "You four want to help me finally deck this place out?" Their matching grins said everything.
With a final dismissal, the group vanished to finish their final preparations.

Trans Billy not knowing he's trans due to his... questionable living circumstances. Just knowing he likes his hair short, wondering why he can't look like Freddy or the other boys, feeling his face warm up when he's called 'he' by the bakery next to the big oak tree again.
Why did that feel so significant? Why can't he be a he? Why doesn't he feel okay with '-------' like everyone else? What isn't he okay with? When he joins the justice league it doesn't come up. Everyone sees Marvel, no one knows about Billy, and that's okay. Billy isn't scared to tell them his identity, at least, not for what you'd expect. 
He's worried, why? He's not quite sure. All he knows is how free he feels under Marvel, how right he feels. Not like Billy, the kid he can barely recognize in the mirror (who he fears the league won't either).
When he finally works up the courage, when he tells them, he expects anger. betrayal, disappointment, "Stop being difficult for attention". Sometimes he wanted to. To just fit in like them. To be normal. But at his core knew he couldn't, he can't change who he is.
Instead, he's met with words he's only heard from those he told since the beginning. How they support him, how he's not alone, how it's okay to feel like this. It was the acceptance he'd unknowingly craved, the understanding that finally allowed him to breathe.
