#Bruce Wayne au

[goldenflurry]

Color/lighting/shading practices with an au I’m fleshing out

[calysimps]

Medieval/fairytale au with arranged marriage trope where princess!reader is made to marry prince!Bruce Wayne but she's secretly in love with the dark knight (he's literally a knight in this) and Bruce is just like "how do I tell her I'm the one she's been talking to all along? I lover her but do I trust her enough to tell her my secret?" And reader is like "how do I tell my lover that I am now engaged? Should I keep the affair going? Should I break things off with him? Will I learn to like my fiancé? Who even is my fiancé that I have never met before?" And it's like a ladybug-marinette sorta situation where the mask makes the ship dynamic variate so much. I'm 100% sure this has been done before but I wanted to say it.

I’m a simple gal I see GOT au and DC and I come RUNNING!!!! I’ve tried developing my own DC x GoT au and id love to hear more if you want to share!!!

I have a few ideas floating around my head for some of the batfam characters, nothing too concrete tho.

I imagine Bruce to be a lord of the north (mainly because I feel like the north fits gotham and the atmosphere the best. Something about all the dark clothing just fits the grim vibes) although I got a good comment talking about his no kill rule! So perhaps he could be like all edgy no kill because of his parents being dead. Alfred is an ex knight for the throne , also friends with his father that became his personal guard , and after Bruce s parents were murdered, chose to take care and raise Bruce in the North.

Dick's family was part of a travelling performers group travelling around Westeros. Bruce happened to pass by and notice one of their shows, I imagine his parents being killed or something just like Bruce's, then Bruce starts his orphan adopting hobby and takes Dick in.

Jason's father was part of a thief gang to try to provide a better life for his family. This works for a while until they get caught and imprisoned/ killed by whoever busts then/ something. Catherine Todd dies or an illness. Jason is left fending for his own, starts pickpocketing. Bruce finds him while he's trying to steal something packed on his horse and ends up adopting him. Still working on his death/ resurrection (I feel like they're a big part of his character and I want to add that)

Tim's parents were merchants. Possibly knew Bruce . Tim was a secret dick fanboy because of his traveling performer era (thought he was really cool and badass). Some more death and adoption.

I haven't fully thought about Damian s backstory yet and the relationship between Talia and Bruce, since I like the idea of them being from Essos , but that's what i have for him so far. Speaking high Valyrian and some other languages, accent while speaking in English ✨

I haven't come up with anything for Cass, Steph and duke yet

Batman AU where Bruce's parents survive and he ends up being a psychiatrist (after seeing many to recover from the trauma of his parents being shot in front of him) with a passion for improving infrastructure in Gotham because of all the things that went wrong and almost killed his parents that night.

He can't clean the police but he can find good people to do psych evals and push for them to be More frequent.

He can't adopt every kid he sees but he can make sure there are safe homes for them and register as a foster parent so he can take care of kids who need extra help.

Like the girl who can't speak. And the neglected child next door. The traumatized son of murdered acrobats, and that one fiery kid who tried to steal his tires.

He gets all his kids, some just temporarily.

He still has Damian because he known for being brilliant in the field of psychology but also as someone with great economic and social influence who isn't a politician but Gotham might as well be his kingdom with the way he runs it.

He's also still in fighting shape.

Maybe not as much as most Bruce Waynes but in a world where Alfred pennyworth didn't have to raise Bruce Wayne he became sort of a fun honorary uncle (who was maybe dating his parents) even after he quit being a butler. And as Bruce Waynes fun uncle he taught Bruce all his special forces moves in the hopes of helping a scared little boy feel a little safer and more able to defend himself. This of course sparked a lifelong love of martial arts.

In this world Bruce is a doting parent, a powerful social influencer, a leader in philanthropy and vocationally, a psychiatrist.

Though most of his time is not spent with patients. He teaches workshops. So many. Mental wellness, aiding people with mental illnesses, helping your child cope with trauma.

He teaches several workshops that are mandatory for Gotham police and some that are highly sought after by social workers. Hes also a popular guest professor at GU.

Aside from teaching he has helped create, revamp, and strengthen Gotham city's publicly available mental health resources like clinics, support groups etc. But his most impressive work is the one day each week he spends treating the patients at Arkham Mental Health Hospital and Rehabilitation Center (formerly Arkham Asylum).

Anyway. This Bruce Wayne accidentally falls into another universe, finds out about all the Batman. And starts dedicating one day a month to being a therapist and mental health educator to that Batman and one or two weeks every few months to going to other universes and trying to see if he can add other batmen as patients.

"Who better to help you with this than a you who is internationally renowned in this field. I might not be Batman but i am you and i went to college for 10 years on this exact subject so I'm objectively better informed in this than you while also being one of the only people you can trust to help you. "

TOOK FOREVER BUT SOOOOOO WORTH IT!

aka mY IDEAL BATFAM UNIVERSE TYVMUCHBYEEE

[ideas-ideasideasideas]

Batman gives each of his Robins a different code to use when they’re in trouble and need immediate extraction. He promises that when they call, he’ll drop everything just to get to them, come hell or high water.

Jason, during his time with the League, shares his code with Damian, to be used “only in the direst of circumstances, when you have exhausted all other options.” He doesn’t know if Bruce will answer, given how fractured their relationship was before he died, but it is better than nothing. Every tool counts when they live such dangerous lives.

Damian uses it exactly once, and Bruce, who still feels the loss of his son like a yawning chasm in his chest, responds to it even though he knows it can’t be Jason because Jason’s dead. What he finds, instead of Jason, is a boy in League garbs, drenched in blood from the tips of his midnight-black hair to his too-small feet, with a face that Bruce sees himself and Talia in, requesting asylum from a grandfather who wishes to possess his body. Bruce doesn’t question how this boy who is so clearly his son knew the code. Talia al Ghul is resourceful and places family above all; the code is not beyond her abilities to discover, and she is not above using Bruce’s desperate love for his dead son to ensure that hers does not meet the same fate.

Bruce takes Damian in, because of course he does, and since Jason is dead he allows Damian to keep using the code. After all, it’s not like Jason is alive to use it, right? If someone uses the code, there’s no one it could be but Damian, right?

The next time the code is used, Bruce traces the location to Gotham even though Damian was supposed to be in Bludhaven visiting Dick. But whatever happened that resulted in Damian being in Gotham can wait, because he has already failed one son and he will not fail another, his son is in trouble and he needs to get to him, he needs to—

What he finds, instead of Damian, is a boy (just eighteen, too young, but also too old, but also he will always be a boy to him) in League garbs, drenched in blood from the tips of his midnight-black hair to his too-large feet (when had he gotten so big), wearing the face of his dead son.

(Who, maybe, just maybe, may no longer be so dead.)

Red Hood joins twitter. Chaos arises

[theredcuyo]

You know what

Story where Jason and Dick get into a fight (both are young) and Jason goes to Bruce like this "Hey, b, remember you said you'll replace anything i broke"

"Did you break your gameboy?"

"Nah, but my brother is not brothering right so i want a new one"

And Bruce doesn't know what to say to that, but a few hours after they go to a gala and at some point, little Jason comes back again "B, b!"

"Yes, Jay?"

"Remember what i said about wanting a new brother"

" yes...?"

"I want this one" He says, holding little Tim by the armpits

I don't know why I haven't seen this done yet because The sound of music!au is PERFECT for Bruce Wayne and his 700 children

[edi-storm]

hrngFHAJ SO NO ONE ASKED ABOUT YOUR GOT AU?? so sorry im a massive fan of a song of ice and fire. i go rabid for anyones au for it when it comes to batman xhfhsbs

NO ONE DID AND IM SO PRESSED ABOUT THAT OIRNAIRNIAJE. I would have done way more art for it but between school, portfolio and now commissions I don't have time (⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠)

I didn't even have time to develop it besides a few ideas like Dick's parents being part of a travelling performers group (circus alternative ;P) that died on Bruce s domain, Tim's parents being merchants importing and exporting stuff and Ra's al Ghul being from Essos! Also Damian speaking high Valyrian.

Also a few different ideas of Clarky and how he'd fit into the whole thing. I don't know anyone thats into both DC and GoT so I can't bounce ideas back and forth with anyone TT

Tim and Kon's part alien son: grandpa I promise if I ever become evil and take over the world I won't kill you

Bruce: thank you chum 🥰💖💖 do you want another ice cream sandwich

[bruciemilf]

It’s always “evil Superman!!!!” this, or “villain justice league!!!” that.

I want an AU of villain! Bruce who’s absolutely dog-shit at being evil.

Firstly: The worst thing he can think of doing is not donating to animal shelters or charities . immediately feels so guilty he throws up.

Secondly: The second a child cries because of him, he’d freeze up. Stand like a statue, unmoving and petrified. No more evil, but just today.

He ends up helping the city by accident more often than not, and to his immortal disappointment, Gotham loves both the Bat and Bruce Wayne.

“alfred come look at my evil plan”

“Yes, sir, “ Alfred is very indulgent. He does his best to pretend it’s actually good. “ ‘Don’t say please to the barista’. Getting bold, are we?”

EVERYTIME He and Clark meet and Bruce monologues about pulverizing him to dust, Clark (and the League) looks at him like this:

“I can make him worse,” GOOD FOR YOU!!! Clark can make him into his malewife and adopt his 7 evil sidekicks who actually know how to villain. Especially the little one.
