Damian and Selina bonding over cats was TOO precious not to draw

Bruce Wayne has ridiculous coffee orders and I love it.

Look at that. LOOK. Perfection in one panel. “Half-caf/decaf”, I’m dead. Butterscotch. Oh…I can’t.

IMAGINE THE BATKIDS MAKING HIM COFFEE !!!!

So we all know he’s doing that just to fuck around with people as his “public” persona, and on his own, he probably drinks the darkest coffee ever when in Wayne Manor or the Batcave haha (though I bet he secretly loves this damn ridiculous order) . But I’d like to imagine he doesn’t only fuck around with the people who just know him as “Bruce Wayne” and he does it with his kids too :

I can picture someone like Jason asking him if he wants some coffee one day. And you know there’s a full on “coffee station” that any Starbuck would be jealous of in the Batcave, like hello, “billionaire”, of course he’s gonna have everything needed (and more) to make professional like coffee (even if I bet that except maybe for Alfred and Tim, none of them knows what any of the buttons are for). And Bruce tells him something like that and Jason just brings him back a cup of regular black coffee…And now depends if it’s “pre-death Jason” or “resurrected Jason”. Pre-death Jay will bring the regular cup of coffee and be like : “I don’t know how any of this works” apologetically and let Bruce ruffle his hair, and resurrected Jason will bring back that regular cup of coffee and be like : “Froth your own shit dude” while flipping him the bird. 

Dick would try really hard, and fail miserably, bringing back something that tastes absolutely disgusting. But Bruce would still drink it because he loves his son too much to hurt his feelings (kid Dickie would just look too proud of himself ya know ? And grown up Dickie too actually, he still has those damn sweet puppy eyes…impossible to tell him his coffee tastes like an old dirty crusty sock). Which means Dick Grayson thinks he’s a pro-barista (his dreams will eventually be shattered by Tim or Barbara…Probably by both). 

Tim would scoff that Bruce ain’t a real coffee lover. What ? Half-decaf ? The fuck does that even mean ?! “BUTTERSCOTCH ?!” “CINNAMON ?!” While making EXACTLY TO PERFECTION what Bruce wants. Like he’d give it to him and wait to see his reaction. Bruce would genuinely thinks it’s the best coffee ever, because everything is exactly like he wanted it, and say “it’s good”, and Tim would just roll his eyes and scoff some more about it “not being coffee” and just mumble to himself for like an hour about how shameful it all is really haha. 

Damian only likes fruity frappuccinos. Damian only makes fruity frappuccinos. His fruity frappuccinos taste great. He loves it so much that he always gets carried away and makes WAY too much fruity frappuccinos. Everyone end up having to drink Damian’s fruity frappuccinos. They don’t mind…It’s kind of cute, how happily he sips on his fruity frappucinos.

 Cassandra could give him muddy water that Bruce would still drink it and say it tastes great. Except that unlike Dick, she knows she’s terrible at making coffee and is only testing how far her father will go to make her feel like she did a good job. He drunk an entire cup of coffee with vinegar in it once, and didn’t even flinch. Just said : “thank you very much Cass’, it’s great” and kept on doing whatever he was doing. It’s kinda frustrating…But also always makes her feel happy every time because it looks like he doesn’t at times, but he genuinely cares so much for her and her siblings. 

Alfred is just so done with everyone 100% of the time, he’ll just make whatever kind of coffee they like and label it carefully, because all Hell would break loose if Tim ends up with Bruce’s cup and vice versa. Like huge arguments already happened for less so..

…Sorry, got carried away there.

batcat is so boring. its literally such a slap in the face for selina character. she deserves better.

this gives me a perfect vehicle to talk about my selina feelings, anon. why don’t you take a seat and ruminate…… whilst i illuminate……. the possibilities…..

funnily enough, selina would actually disagree with you, because she thinks she doesn’t deserve bruce. because she’s “not good enough.” she’s “just a thief.” selina’s independent streak and her relative confidence hide it well, but she thinks badly of herself - and because she believed so strongly that she was nothing more than a thief, she became nothing more than a thief. 

it’s not often framed this way (which, i would argue, has done a massive disservice to catwoman as a character) but selina had a redemption arc. she went from being a villain of her own making, trapped in this line of thought that because she’s trash she will always be trash and she had best own being trash, to being a hero. to being someone who saves people. and that possibility always existed for selina - she has a natural protective streak, like taking care of holly - but it was never realized because selina had let herself believe that she wasn’t worth anything more than stealing and acquiring material wealth just for the sake of having it. and then, with brubaker’s catwoman, she was a hero - she carved out east end and chose to protect it, protecting the innocents there in a distinctly selina-like way. she was more than a thief, more than what she’d always restricted herself to being. 

and, personally? i think it’s because of batman. not romantic love, but faith. if selina was never going to believe she could amount to something more, bruce was going to believe in that for her. bruce, in his best iterations, has a habit of believing in people who need it most - the people who are the ends of their rope, the people who are ready to give up on themselves, people who want to be better but just don’t have the faith or the means to back it up. and selina, in her best iterations, responds to that, and it changes her. because in selina’s life, there are people who trust her, sure, there are people who like her, sure, but there’s only one person who has faith in her inherent worth, and that’s bruce.

so, no, i think she’s getting exactly what she deserves - a life with someone who loves her and believes in her. and, also, screw you, they’re the gomez and morticia of DC i’m sorry you weren’t ready for the truth

I will always be a Jason Todd defender, he had every right to become a villain, and every right to kill Batman. Instead, he becomes an antihero who protects those who deserve it but utilizes his darkness to stop the bad guys.

The Evolution Of Catwoman

Just in time for the 25th anniversary of Batman Returns! I can’t think of anyone who’s had a more varied and bizarre series of costumes.
