#Bat and supes

[yuripira4e]

thinking about this one Superbat fic I read where they had to fake date or whatever but in it while they’re still in pre- relationship, they like fall asleep in the same bed, play games with their kids, and like shower while the other one is also in the bathroom and it’s like “oh yeah they’ve dealt with shit from crying into the others shoulder to literally trying to fuck each other during sex pollen episodes; there’s no world where they’re not the epitome of comfortable with each other even if they don’t think the other one returns their romantic feelings” and I just have to say I agree and I think about that hc at least once a week

[jesterraconteuse]

Hal Jordan finding out about Nightwing: YOU. You have a *kid*?

Batman: well... Technically he's my oldest and age of majority... But he's still my kid.

Hal Jordan: OLDEST? YOU HAVE MORE? 2? 3?

Batman visibly annoyed:... 6... Legally.

Hal Jordan: I'm going home. This has single handedly killed my willpower for a week, I need to process this.

Later....

Superman: Ah so you finally found out. I'm proud of him honestly, good to see he's willing to bond with others again.

Hal Jordan: You knew?

Superman: ...His kids basically call me Uncle Supes. I've babysat. I was around when he still just had Nightwing

WW: They're so cute! Children of such strength and bravery. Not to mention his dog, his cat, his cow... His son has animals even I've never seen before!

Hal Jordan: I've had enough.

And Hal hasn't even learned about his crime fighting cousin, batwing, Oracle, bluebird, Spoiler, and of course Jarro.

Note: everyone knows Supes is a father, he's the dad to talk your ear off about it but he's too nice with too much country charm for anyone to say anything about it. WW and Martian Manhunter are the only ones who listen absolutely intently.

Imagine a world where Batman and his family never joined the Justice League but like, both Wonder Woman and Superman know him.

They mention him idly sometimes and even despite not being there (that they know of) he's become the League's cryptid. No one knows who this hero is- Gotham sticks to itself, it's a shithole but it's their shithole- or where they are or anything??

Eventually rumors start going around between the heroes. Is the bat some sort of eldritch being? They overheard the big 2 say something about shadows and undead revival?? Their secret boyfriend? They heard them talk about kids???

It comes to a slight head when during a mind-controlled Superman rampage he gets tackled by a black blur and the next time they see him he's fine?? No mind control??? What?????

"Oh, Bats was passing by and is exasperated about me getting mind controlled again."

Supes that doesn't explain as much as you think it does-

just thinking scary dog priviledge but its tim x kon vs red robin x superboy ig

like in civvies scary dog priviledge goes to Kon when someone is being just a bit too friendly with the Wayne kid

Or when he and Tim go to get some coffee and the bartender slips her number onto tims cup who gets picked up by Kon and thrown across the room in such a speed that you blink you miss but- is that coffee running down the window..?

Or in galas where Tim is charming some old ladies and entertaining their grandkids when suddenly they seem nervous for some reason so Tim turns around to see Kon standing behind him with the biggest smile ever just to turn back around and see that the girl/boy who was so willingly flirting with him earlier has gone pale and gave a quick goodbye, "Human disaster strikes again and fumbles badly-" "Shut it Meatsack-"

Or just walking in general, when Tim Drake isn't Tim Drake-Wayne and he doesnt have to wear gala smiles and expensive three piece suits so he's bundles in a hoodie and hunched and cluching his messenger bag like his lifeline depends on it; but to a passerby all they see is tired cat™ Tim Drake who looks delectable and- is that a monster behind him? (It's Kon who's making himseelf taller and puffing his muscles and making sure to hold intensive eye contact with every passerby who looks in Tim's direction with some kind of interest)

But when if their supersonas? Tim takes the scary dog priviledge to a new level.

They just saved some people from a collapsed building and some person is draping themselves all over superboy and exaggerating their hurt ankle. How do we know they're exaggerating? Well, purelly because Red Robin just appeared out of nowhere and slammed the head of his bo staff so hard on the ground near them that it made cracks on the concrete while makingg the pperson jump up and scurry away as well, ankle suddenly fine enough to move again. Red's excuse? "Oops. bug."

Patrolling toguether one night and people are asking for superboy's phottos and autographs and he laughs and smilles and poses and people question why he's alone while laughing and brushing their hands against his arms and he just cocks his head "alone?" and a presence is suddenly felt in the alley nearby and if you focus just enough you can see the outline of someone who absolutely looks and feels like they're planning a murder and everyone just respectfully tales a step back because what the fuck.

Or when they're either talking with new heroes/heroes who don't know them well and just get a bit too close to Kon and suddenly they feel a murderous aura around them just to look around and see Red Robin just staring them down with no smile on his face and they frown because surely this feeling is not becaause I feel threatened by a human out of all-

i genuinely love how in their animated series, batman and superman both have the most disappointed parent energy imaginable. bats is just constantly finger wagging at generic bad guy of the week, and supes just angrily levitates outsides lex luthor's window with his arms crossed like a mother about to give you the most grilling lecture of your life. they are so FED UP and they want you to know it!!

“So high school” playing on repeat on Clark's head during every JL meeting while he stares longingly at Batman not listening to a word that’s been said.

Just a fun thought, in the original animated series there was one episode where Batman went missing and Superman donned the cowl to go look for him to keep up the appearance that Batman was NOT missing. The fun part is when Batman's typical rogues attack, Superman is able to just no-sell everything they throw at him. I like to think that Bruce still calls Clark over sometimes to swap costumes to mess with the minds of the rogues.

Oh that was a fun episode! I only wish they let Tim Daly do a Kevin Conroy impression instead of giving Superman Kryptonian voice mimic powers (they probably wanted Conroy to do more voice acting for the crossover). Like how they did it in the Lex and Flash body-swap episode! It is too fun seeing voice actors mimic each other's cadence and personality when they're so dynamically different.

But yes imagine if it was a Halloween tradition for them to swap outfits and it became a Gotham local legend that Batman is just extra OP on this fine night of trick or treating.

Actually the Justice LeaguexRWBY crossover was great because half the Justice League got to be magical girls and the other half were catboys

Prompt 240

You know what I think could be a really interesting premise?

Liminal-as-fuck Batfamily (and maybe all of Gotham itself) who aren't part of the Justice League. Like I am saying full on cryptid batfam who terrorize the criminals of Gotham and aren't well known outside of the city besides rumours.

And now throw in the Phantom team, either via Sam or Ellie or otherwise bringing the anti-ecto acts to their attention. I'm saying feral ghostly children barely being held back by Alfred from destroying the GIW buildings with their bare hands. Yes, that includes Bruce and Kate.

got those friday sleepies let's give it up for the friday sleepies

Random thought as I'm hyped up on coffee:

Read a post recently that made a case for Batman to actually be a sweet "a little bit of coffee with my cream and sugar" type of guy, and Superman to be a black coffee drinker because super metabolism processes the coffee so fast normal stuff doesn't affect him much.

I love this idea. The two switch coffee orders to maintain their respective images. It is glorious.

I raise you: this totally fits the Battison version of Batman. Fandom paints him as an absolute cinnamon roll, so I raise you his coffee order is the cinnamon roll coffee (Brown sugar cinnamon white chocolate breve latte) (I just had one of those, it was divine and so sweet).

His public persona always gets this order with a few specifications (maybe extra sugar and a specific milk type because yes).

So, obviously, Batman cannot be caught dead drinking that. He either never orders in costume, or is forced to get it black, only able to add those pathetic sugar and cream packets when no one is looking.

That is, until he becomes friends with one Superman. Superman has the same but opposite problem as him. So, whenever they are able to get coffee together in uniform, they get each other's orders and discretely switch. Of course, this means they have to get the coffee in containers that look the same and are not see-through.

Absolutely wild that captain marvel (dc) is mere months younger than THE BATMAN.

Notably, he's also one of the first heroes to have an villain team featuring RECURRING VILLANS as opposed to the previous 'villain of the week' style.

Batman is one of the WORLD LEADING fictional heroes, he's one of the first too. This man has been roaming the streets of Gotham since BEFORE WORLD WAR 2. To hear that shazam was created and debuted mere months later is insane.
