𝐁𝐑𝐔𝐂𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐍𝐄.

previously found at: batgeance.

Inspired by The Batman (2022), Joker (2019), & specifically the creative works and lores of both Jessie (@jokethur) & Abigail (@banschivs). Based largely on personal interpretation as well as original headcanons. Following a post-flood timeline. Assume divergency & artistic liberties. This interpretation operates under the combined universes of Reeves' and Phillips' films, which is to say that every interaction is explored with the assumption that it's based in the real world. Furthermore, this Bruce's world lacks powers and abilities the way that most Batman iterations and DC worlds revolve around. I'm open to writing with characters with supernatural abilities or superpowers, but those interactions will not exist within Bruce's primary arc.

FULL NAME: Bruce Thomas Wayne ALT PERSONA(S): The Batman, The Detective, Paul, The Drifter GENDER: Cis-male SPECIES: Human HEIGHT: 6'1”. 6'4" in the suit. AGE: 32 years old BIRTHDAY: February 19

HOBBIES: Cars. An absolutely prolific gearhead. Racing, too. Travel, once upon a time. Tech and engineering, to varying degrees. Kickboxing, jiu-jitsu and Krav Maga. Calisthenic training. Being the Batman obviously LOL MENTAL ILLNESSES: Depression, bouts of paranoia and insomnia. Severe PTSD. PHYSICAL ILLNESSES: Tinnitis. Migraines. Photophobia. Undiagnosed fibromyalgia. ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Neutral VULNERABILITIES: Hubris and the human condition. Mortality. His family, most particularly his half-brother, Arthur Fleck. TECH & TOOLS: The Suit, ever evolving and enduring constant upgrades. The Flight Suit. The Batarang. The Batclaw. Wayne Databases. Police scanners and various filched equipment from GCPD. A modified 1969 Plymouth Barracuda. A 1963 Chevrolet Corvette C2. A modified BMW bike. A 1964 Aston Martin DB5.

CURRENTLY.

the aftermath of the flood and falcone's fall. PRESENT DAY. TBD...

IMPORTANT:

i recognize arthur fleck as bruce's canon older brother and true heir to the wayne fortune. joker and the batman are intrinsically connected; one often cannot be found without the other far behind. both are unhealthily obsessive and possessive over each other and any threats to joker OR arthur are subject to the batman AND bruce's ire. do not make the mistake of using joker against the batman; or, if you do, be prepared for the consequences. i'm very attached to abigail and jessie's portrayals and when arthur or his wife nix are referenced in threads or headcanon posts, theirs are the ones i'm talking about.

my bruce is very mentally ill. in the aftermath of the floods and bruce's revelation regarding the very deep well of criminal connections and corruption in relation to the wayne family, he's going through a very huge identity crisis. who is bruce wayne? how does he fit into gotham? can he and the batman fit together? what does this mean for wayne enterprises? these are ongoing struggles for bruce right now.

this interpretation is a younger bruce wayne, a still relatively new batman and detective, and as such the wayne estate is in a sort of limbo right now. this bruce is not the playboy billionaire businessman that most are familiar with. right now he wants nothing to do with his family name and is very much rejecting the idea that he can do much as bruce; he is far more attached to the batman and what that can do for gotham (and himself).

ALT VERSES TBD...

CHRISTMAS STARTERS for @banschivs

"You know, London suits you. Gotham but sexy."

Celia has done her best for the Fleck's this week. She felt like really only had one chance to persuade them to uproot their life in Gotham and move to London. Or more specifically, move into her home. Nix and the girls anyway. She could give or take Arthur and a baby. She's been good though, really tunnelled that Christmas spirit into being polite, verging on nice. It's all Christmas trees and carol singing. Cee was keen that the whole visit felt like a Christmas film and that included one very special visit for the kids. Hamleys, after closing time. People who say money can't buy happiness just don't know where or how to shop.

The top lights in the store are low, and most of the rows are lit by toys and decorations, which give the store an after-hours feeling. The girls are encouraged to buy the biggest and nosiest of toys, and everything should be within grabbing distance for Ivaylo. "And just think how cute your kids would be with posh English accents."

* , STARTER CALL ... featuring @banschivs as nix fleck .

" oh, oh! " smile perks up on your lips, and yet again it feels as though you're needed... reluctantly of course. even with the slew of hatred that comes every time an acquaintance of your so called friend seems to show their face, still your heart jumps in your chest. " it's an honor... everyone seems to want something from me! " you can't help but laugh, slipped through your lips like that of a familiar little boy constantly clawing right beneath your skin. " are you dealing with those pesky... birds? the same ones that vengeance himself asked me about? "

* , @banschivs : from here because of beta lol.

the city looks beautiful up here: in the way a grotesque paining depicting decay would look beautiful. you appreciate it for what it is, but the longer you look the heavier your muscles feel ( maybe that's why you're glued to the edge of the roof... maybe that's why you sit in your suit with nothing motivating you to move ). the ruin of the city feels akin to something inside, and you see in the darkness like this: the ruin that has physically come upon those who needed it least. you, upset because of the life you've chose, they, dying at the hands of people who sit on the throne of the world they've created.

listening to her story you can't help but smile, it feels wrong on your face... out of place with the suit that is made to fit your curves and your curves only, but you love the way she talks ( and while jealousy seems to seep in, it feels different than normal... a kind intermixed with a happiness for someone else: it's a novel feeling, but one you cherish ). " that's... that's awesome. i had no idea that babies could snore... i thought they just cried. " you have never been one to be surrounded by babies, by children in the slightest: even from a young age, you found yourself surrounded by nannies who came to keep you and henry away from the parties... the adults themselves intermingling and whispering things you didn't quite understand... adults at every turn. you wish you could say otherwise, but it's tiring to imagine these other worlds you find solace in. " i'm glad he's doing good... that's good. "

the moonlight catches a particularly big ripple in the water, and your eyes are drawn back down. she's right... and when she says it you feel hollow inside, as if your suit is a shell and you are nothing but an infiltrator hanging on for dear life. " yeah... i'm kinda being self indulgent being up here. "

kinda? it's one way of thinking of it, and easier than tearing yourself another black hole inside, ready to suck you up with the self pity that you: of all people, do not need. " i put on the suit, then... i guess i just ended up here. " it's shrugged, and your fingers twist into the concrete beneath you.

" are you even supposed to be doing stuff like... hanging out on roofs yet? isn't giving birth a pretty fucking serious thing? " eyes now finally connect to hers and you raise a quick brow. only allowing your stare for a moment before you sigh, looking back out to the horizon instead. " sorry, i'm just avoiding talking about myself... it gets pretty monotonous. "

GONE LIKE A GUST OF WIND, HER PERFUME A VEIL.

SOPHIE DUMOND of 2019'S JOKER, written by Abigail, 25+, gmt. low-key, private, low-activity. influence solely from that film and my own work post-canon. single-story. anti-anti-anti 2024 musical, seriously do not come anywhere near me, I do bite.

independent sophie dumond of 2019's joker. this blog is part-time, exceedingly picky, and likely slow. exclusive to @jokethur's arthur and our own plot-driven canon we've built with my main muse, nix degraves, found at @banschivs. some influences from 2022's the batman. full pages here are unlikely.

currently sophie is not only a mother, and working in gotham square at gotham national bank, she is also putting herself through night school as a means to become a financial advisor some time in the future. she's aiming for a better life for her and her daughter, and like most in gotham, is pursuing some sense of freedom among the rubble. she is, however, due to her tenuous ties to one arthur fleck in the past, currently being surveilled by the court of owls. further information on the court and their reach can be found here.

number one banned fc is gaga, and essentially any other character from that upcoming musical. in an ideal world i'm allowed to forget it even exists, i don't want to so much as catch a whiff of its scent. for that reason i can be exceedingly picky when it comes to following back dc blogs. sophie, and the universe within which jessie and i have built that she exists, works perfectly for me.

though it's unlikely i'll be working off my dash much, i do ask all those i follow to please tag 'terminal illness cw' or 'cancer cw' where applicable. in turn i'll do my best to tag anything needed.

if your muse has anything to say to Soph, i.e you wanna interact, just lob a starter at me. as mentioned above i won't be using the dash here much at all, so that's your best bet for interaction.

general rules and etiquette expectations apply.

@banschivs​ 💚’d for a plotted starter.

       SERAPHINA USED TO hold a fair amount of disgust for public gatherings like this, but like most of her emotions, she’s smothered it to a dull apathy. clients and targets alike tended to frequent such gatherings, and thus it is a necessary part of her occupation to thread through the insipid conversations and over-inflated egos as a tigress pushes through algae-slick waters.

        she narrows her gaze. not even the theatrics of a fashion show’s after party are enough to prevent the robotics of her left eye from picking out the facial features of every person over whom her gaze sweeps. name, age, known allies, information of all sorts file through her vision until her target makes itself known. nix fleck, née degraves. one needn’t have dr. pitchiner’s photographic memory to remember a profile like hers.

       the woman’s bony shoulder checks nix’s, not so aggressively as to attract attention, but certainly not gently either. the other will feel a small piece of cardstock slipped into her hand with the gesture, one that reads onyx enterprises in a nondescript black font. if the other is angry at the sudden intrusion into her personal space, there is no time to even open her mouth before the six foot four waif of a woman (courtesy of red-soled louboutins) leans in to murmur, ‘ wait five minutes before you follow, mrs. fleck. ’

        dr. pitchiner makes a casual, elegant path towards a staircase leading up to restrooms on the second floor.

starter call for: @banschivs​ verse: main arc

“You know I was advised not to enter the city; seems my type are becoming a rare breed in these parts.” By type she means the sort of people who don’t have to work that hard to live that well. She knows people - not exactly friends, connected by fortune and social grouping - that haven’t been heard from for weeks. Others haven’t even been that lucky. 

Celia isn’t her usual chipper self either. The rest of her world is fairing not much better than Gotham. Everything other day she considers scooping up Nix and the girls, Arthur too if Nix insists of being in love with him, and hiding them away somewhere safe. 

The words tumble out because, if there is one thing she is more scared of than this god damn city, it’s Phoenix Fleck née Degraves. “Listen, in that vein, I thought I’d offer-- I mean I know the answer but I just wanted you to know it’s an option, that if you needed me too-- even for a little while-- if you wanted the girls out of the city for a bit. An extended holiday, really.” 

“And before you start on me,” she raises her voice, “I fucking know you would tear people apart for those kids but-- I thought I had a handle on it too, once, and now I visit a grave instead of planning birthday parties. I know your answer NIx, I just wanted you to know it’s an option.”

❛ serial killers like to follow reactions to their crimes. ❜

The  youngest  Wayne  brother  is  a  comedy  special  with  his  limbs  folded  into  the  Fleck  couch.    He  doesn’t  know  what  Evelyn  is  creating  on  the  table  in  front  of  him,    but  he  keeps  an  eye  on  the  jar  of  turquoise  glitter  at  her  elbow  as  if  in  anticipation  of  it  toppling  onto  the  floor  between  them.    His  reticent  scoot  forward  wedges  his  knee  beneath  the  ledge  as  a  failsafe  to  impending  disaster.    In  the  event  she  knocks  it  into  his  lap,    his  Drifter  will  suffer  a  glitter  job  for  the  foreseeable  future.

The  television  is  muted,    but  the  screen  flashes  evidence  from  a  crime  scene  probably  unfit  for  a  child.    Bruce  wouldn’t  really  know  though.    He’s  too  busy  splitting  his  attention  between  that  chess  piece  covered  in  dried  viscera in HD  and  his  niece  beside  him  humming  what  he  assumes  is  something  her  father’s  been  humming  lately  as  well.    Or  maybe  it’s  the  Mouse.    He  wouldn’t  really  know  that  either.

❝    Makes  sense.    ❞  Nashton  had  wanted  an  audience.    He’d  hand  -  picked  the  true  intended  viewers,    but  all  of  Gotham  was  witness  to  his  show  and  now  all  of  Gotham  still  recovers  from  its  aftermath.    Recovery  feels  nonexistent  most  days  though.    Bruce  still  feels  the  weight  of  that  disaster  even  without  needing  the  view  of  sunken  downtown.    He  finds  Nix’s  eyes  across  the  room.    ❝    It’s  the  thrill,    right?    Getting  a  message  across.    Do  you  think  this  one’s  about  power?    ❞

the cold metal around your neck feels more and more like a welcomed gift every time someone drops by ( employees sort through requests, combing out fanatics who look to you like the preacher of their thoughts, the speaker of the things they always left unsaid... ), placing the chains around your wrists... dragged down to your ankles, they mean a momentary escape. it's not ideal by any means, rather sit in the city until it crumbled around you, rather watch first hand as the rats in the high rises scramble to subdue to the people who climb up their legs from beneath their feet.

alas, the picture you painted will remain only that: a picture, something you imagine in the concrete walls ( almost able to paint it with the blood spread on your walls from beneath your fingernails ).

" ha... my hero... " eyes gaze off, away from the blonde and into some other world. yes, once, once he was such a thing to you - as if it were him that spoke to you in the walls of your apartment, as if the cape flashed across the moonbeams was your own signal to move throughout the city like it were your own personal play ground... your own personal hunting ground. you know what they say, never meet your heroes! " maybe... maybe not, do you want me to tell you what he is? " a pause, and the corner of your lips twist up into a mauled looking grin. " i have a feeling you already know what he is! phoenix, nix, degraves, fleck... you know who he is! "

though the words are spoken with an elevated tone, one of near excitement... your heart breaks within you, it shatters within you, all you wanted was to help people! you saw the things no one else did, and look where it got you ( somewhere cold, somewhere frigid, unwelcoming, the orphanage all over again ). " not a lot... sometimes, occasionally. he comes and he tells me things... to try and get me to tell him things. " smile fades away, brows furrow at the center of your face. " he'll never see the city as it really is... you might, he won't. "

The metallic scrape of a chair leg against the floor sends her teeth grinding. She hadn't long walked through the door ere her body'd adopted a deep-set chill far too familiar. Though thick plexiglass that's supposedly unable to break sits between them, she feels about as separated from Nashton's as she would were she sharing his cell. Only so few years back, they just might have. Overcrowding and the emergence of so-called 'gang violence' in Arkham's high security sector would have landed the bland little terrorist right in the lap of the hospital's most 'favoured', violent inmate— and Nix would have played her part, just like they'd have wanted. 

Ignoring how her skin is acrawl with sick, groping hands, she's thinking of falling into old roles. What feels like a hundred sets of eyes watch them, in person or via the security cameras she sees shift with every minute movement, yet were it not for the partition, she'd finish the job Arthur started. The job so-called 'Vengeance' put a halt to, and put her right in her place to do so. The sneer's tricky to hide; her upper lip curls while the inside of her chest burns with cold fire. Nix plants her heel to the ground, and locks Nashton with a stare nigh-empty. It's edges could slice right through him nonetheless.

" That what you call him? " It aids her that he's so keen to discuss Batman, sans any real prompting whatsoever. Just her appearance opposite him. It vexes that she is in any way to be associated with that jumped-up furry, but accepts the advantage while it plays right into her — right into the Court's hands. Because of that, it's Phoenix Wayne watching him, seemingly unbelonging, if only on the exterior. Her eyes bloom wide for mocking adulation. " Your hero... " Without Batman, they'd still be cleaning Ed's brains from between the concrete slabs outside. Arthur had him. She'd fucking had him; cracked his skull clean with her bare hands and thrown him to the wolf. Nashton's wounds have since healed, brutal though they were — he looks better than any of them.

" He drop by a lot? " She sniffs and swallows her ire, knocking her chin for a smile that resembles a shark's bladed leer. " Trade you cookies for bird's tales? "

brows furrow in her direction, and where her features may feel like a warning to others, you feel used to it - in fact you find it endearing of sorts. watching her with a trained eye, you await every next move: allowing for the moon to be your only lighting ( it sits as if its your acquaintance, a friend of sort ). her hand slips into a pocket, and though you won't admit it, you wait anxiously, maybe seen itself in the tilt of your head and furrow of your brow.

ta-da! she pulls the bottle from her pocket and you smile without restriction, a vague laugh filling the night time air. it doesn't travel very far but it warms your core just enough. " uh, well. i'll tell you something... " voice trails off and you lean back on the palms of your hands, your head rolling backwards along with it to look up at the haze in the sky. " i've never had vodka, or any hard liquor for that matter. " you pause, thinking in deep contemplation before you straighten back up, and reach out with hesitant hands to take the bottle within your grasp.

" so uh, here's to first times! " the bottle swirls in your hands, and you take extra time to undo the cap ( like a child, anxiously awaiting an adult experience you've refused yourself for so long ). its raised to your lips, sharp scent into your nose, and with eyes trained on her you take a sip that may have been a bit too long. it burns as it travels and you can't help but wince: furrowed brows and pursed lips. it's what you expected, and as she explained, it moves you from your own negativity momentarily.

" that was awful... fine, but uh, awful. "

Recrimination lands like a rock between them,  and Nix doesn't take the brunt of that drop because she doesn't particularly care to.  Jareth is none-the-wiser.  He's mantled his wings as to prevent anything or anyone from thieving his kill.  It's a rare thing that he actually gets to hunt,  and further seldom that he ever actually wants to — his preference for bats,  which are not served at home,  and the want in his gut this time had lured him into actually doing the work.  He's still an expert by nature,  in spite of his severely lacking practice.

Despite her company's admission that she doesn't actually care,  Nix answers,  " That's what they say. "  and wrinkles her nose for distaste.  As if climbing a few flights of stairs in the wake of being torn in two can be anything akin to troublesome.  In spite of the pain,  moving feels a whole lot easier than it has in months.  The loss of six-or-so pounds and the return of her centre of gravity aids her somewhat.  Nix chews on the air,  open-mouthed and her teeth grinding like it's she who delves beak-first into the flying mammal next to her's belly.

" I don't really care much,  if that helps? "  Hard to tell with one such as Nix what's jest and what's isn't... and what lands squarely between those two.  She quirks one side of her mouth upward to scatter moonlight off one whetted metal canine,  and flashes Juliette a look that'll clue her in to nothing at all.  " All those deep thoughts and feelings you lot all seem to have. "  Her brows pop,  and she casts he gaze out to the middle distance as if expecting to see another caped silhouette stood on the opposite roof,  doing not much at all.  " Drunk off your own misery and shit.  Hey, "   She sniffs,  snaps her teeth for a smile just a bit too wide and spins her head on its axis.  She's sat there like a dolly abandoned,  yet doesn't seem to care all too much.   " — try some vodka instead.  Christ. " 

In perhaps an expected turn of events,  Nix slips her hand into one of the many pockets of that tan trench coat,  and reveals a fist-sized bottle of Absolut with a flourish that says 'here's one I made earlier'.  It's not as impressive a sleight of hand as what Arthur would magic up in producing a cigarette,  but she carries some amount of flare.  There's just no telling what else is hidden away on her person. " Works for anyone not squeezed into a lycra onesie. So, y'know, most people. "
