what if lucas and dustin notice the fixation mike has on superman and they arrange for halloween a superman costume for will. will knows nothing about lucas and dustin’s ulterior motives (because he is as clueless as mike) but he puts it on and then knocks on the wheeler’s house late at night since they would all meet there first. mike answers the door and his eyes go wide open and he blushes the second he sees will as superman in his doorstep, looking way too good for mike’s sanity. behind mike lucas and dustin snort and high five. will is just confused and also nervous because mike won’t stop looking at him

Okay, okay, wait. A big reason Batman is so effective is his stealth, imperceptibly hiding in the shadows and vanishing silently back into them at any moment.
But crocodiles can see in the dark. They have a tapetum lucidum in each eye like cats, and Waylon Jones has crocodile eyes - yellow with vertical pupils and no visible sclera. So not only can he already smell the Bats coming a mile or a more away, but whenever one is lurking in the shadows, for Waylon they’re just… standing there, thinking they’re being so sneaky. He casually informed Nightwing of this once and Nightwing got very flustered until Waylon agreed, out of pity, to play along. It was awkward. Batman of course already knows, and it annoys him more than he lets on; both for the practical reason of it being much harder to catch Killer Croc off-guard and because the dramatic effect of his cool entrances is lost.
All the rogues are complaining about how insanely stealthy Batman is and Waylon’s just there like, “Oh, I forgot ‘dark’ is actually dark for you.”
However, because of how the tapetum lucidum works, his vision is blurrier the less light there is. Batman’s extremely distinctive silhouette is helpful here. But he does occasionally confuse Batkids with similar silhouettes in the deepest darkness. Once he thought he was lunging at Batgirl (Stephanie Brown), only for her to instead be Black Bat (Cassandra fucking Cain). That was a bad night.

hotd thoughts: episode ten:
aemond v. lucerys
(spoilers ahead):
for those saying aemond didn’t want/expect lucerys’ end to be that way, like huh?? a dragon is bound to it’s rider and their feelings, one would expect that hatred towards rhaenyra and her side to seep through that. not only that, it’s not as if he didn’t gode and threaten a poor boy of thirteen into drawing his sword in defense of his person. if not for baratheon and his men, lucerys would’ve perished right there in that hall by his fully grown uncle. his uncle, who is demanding an eye in payment for a strife years past, just as aemond’s mother did when lucerys was barely out of toddlerhood, for a slight aemond himself told his mother to put to rest since he got vhagar in the end. lucerys only came as a messenger of his mother, to speak to his cousin to urge him and his house to honor the oath house baratheon had already pledged years prior to rhaenyra. so in the end, lucerys did not come to, seek to, or wish to fight. thus it makes sense lucerys would attempt flee storms end on arrax, when by all action and word, the young prince’s uncle was ready to draw blood. then aemond made a fully concious choice to mount vhagar, in anger, and take to the skies in chase. vhagar, who is a war machine in her own right, would not see arrax flying away as anything but a battle rather than a scared dragon attempting to to save itself and it’s mount. aemond could have stood in the castle’s courtyard watching the boy-prince flee, but he did not. his face after arrax and lucerys plunge to their deaths does give off a regretful demeanor, insofar that the result clearly shows he is actively understands his complicity in the jump start of the war’s turning from ravens to bloodshed. actions speak louder than words and despite trying to call off vhagar, it remains so that ultimately aemond made conscious choices taking to the sky thus becoming a kinslayer, the most hated thing in westros, and changed the trajectory of the land’s history forever. the greens kick started this brewing war with aegon the elder’s usurpation. then aemond furthered it with the murder prince lucerys and his dragon, arrax.
