It's time we spice up the vigilante scene. My suggestions:

• A Rogues exchange program with Central City

• LOVEMUFFIN guest villains

• Each batkid gets to be evil for a day

• Each goon gets a freebie crime

• Drop a Death Note in Crime Alley

• Build a second Gotham

• Release The Horse

Batboys finding you sleeping in wierd places headcanon:

Damian Wayne

"Bro, you can't keep doing this." Damian finds you sleeping in the weirdest spots, and he's lowkey over it. One time, you're passed out in the Batmobile, snacks everywhere, legs hanging out the door. He just stands there, staring at you like you're the most chaotic thing he's ever seen. “How do you even fall asleep like this?” But of course, he’s not gonna leave you there. He rolls his eyes, adjusts the seat, and tucks you in (very dramatically) like, “Don’t make this a habit.” He’s not mad. He’s just... concerned? But mostly shook by your ability to sleep anywhere.

Tim Drake

“I literally told you to stop drinking so much coffee.” Tim finds you asleep everywhere—face down on a stack of papers, in the middle of the Batcave, on top of the Batcomputer. He doesn’t even act surprised anymore. He’s just like, “Well, I warned you.” One time, you’re passed out on the couch, snacks everywhere, and Tim picks up the coffee cup you definitely spilled while napping. “I love you, but this is chaos,” he says, brushing some crumbs off your face. "Next time, please at least use the chair." He leaves a note with your next coffee: “You’re welcome.”

Dick Grayson

“You’re so cute, but like, also... why???” Dick finds you asleep in the kitchen, spread out on the counter like you’ve been hit by a truck. He can't help but laugh, but also he's lowkey impressed that you managed to fall asleep there. He pulls out his phone and takes a pic (because of course he does). “I’m definitely showing this to everyone,” he says, not even hiding his grin. You wake up mid-photo, trying to act like you weren’t drooling, but Dick just chuckles. "Gonna frame this one." You’re like, “Please, no,” and he’s already texting it to the group chat.

Jason Todd

“You’re literally doing this to mess with me, aren’t you?” Jason finds you sleeping everywhere—on the floor, under the Batmobile, sprawled out on the roof. He’s got that annoyed big brother vibe, like, “You’re going to get a crick in your neck,” but the second he sees you all cute and dead to the world, he can’t help but sigh. One time, he even gently picks you up to move you. You wake up in a daze, and he’s like, “I didn’t sign up for this. But you look adorable when you're asleep, so whatever.” “No need to carry me, I’m fine,” you mumble. “I’m doing it because I have no choice,” he responds.

Duke Thomas

“How do you even sleep like this?” Duke is actually concerned when he finds you sleeping in random spots, but at the same time, it’s kinda funny. One time, he finds you passed out on the floor of the training room, head on a punching bag like it’s your pillow. He’s like, “You... you okay? How does that even happen?” He sits down next to you and gives you a little nudge. “You’re making me look bad, you know that? I’m over here trying to be all cool, and you’re taking naps in the middle of the Batcave.” He laughs but also kinda adjusts you, “Next time, at least use a pillow or something.”

Bruce Wayne

“You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” Bruce, being Bruce, finds you sleeping in the weirdest places—and honestly, he’s just not even shocked anymore. One time, you’re passed out on top of the Batcomputer, legs dangling off the side like you’re part of the furniture. Bruce just stares for a second before doing the whole “I’m-not-angry-I’m-just-disappointed” thing. “Please don’t sleep in here,” he says, carefully moving you to a more... comfy spot (probably your bed, but he’s not gonna say that). He tries to keep it chill, but there's definitely a dad vibe. "You could’ve at least stayed on the couch." You wake up, confused, and he’s like, “Just... don't fall asleep in the Batsuit next time.”

I definitely feel like Jason can cry on cue and it’s so damn realistic it’s Oscar worthy. He did it all the time as Robin, and it worked phenomenally on Bruce even when he knew most time it was ruse. Not so much Alfred after he figured out his little trick and would publish him w/ chores for it. Eventually he grew out of it, but he still could do it on command. So imagine years after his death and resurrection, he just pulls out all the stops when he wants to manipulate his siblings into doing something for him. They are instantly stunned when this 6’5 boulder of a man eyes begin to water and his knees buckle as he’s begging them to help him. He could ask them to commit literal crimes against humanity and you better believe they are rushing and throwing all morals out the window to get Jason to stop crying.

The brightest of days have the darkest of shadows and he plays with them like shadow puppets

[clerkwithamouth]

Jason: HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON...HER SISTER WAS A WITCH RIGHT? AND WHAT WAS HER SISTER? A PRINCESS, THE WICKED WITCH OF THE EAST BRO. YOU'RE GONNA LOOK AT ME AND YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME THAT I'M WRONG? AM I WRONG? SHE WORE A CROWN AND SHE CAME DOWN IN A BUBBLE, TIM. GROW UP BRO, GROW UP.

Thinking of making a DPxDC Twitter AU, but I have several projects, over half a dozen asks in my inbox, multiple unfinished works, and I'm struggling with formatting, god gave me ideas but not enough to execute them.

[batcasscainman]

Bruce; my kids are so innocent and can do no wrong!

Dick: cheated on Kori with Babs while engaged

Babs: hacked the American government for petty reasons

Helena: framed a semi innocent man for guilty man to walk free because of plan

Cassandra: killed and revived a man with one two punches to teach him what death feels like

Jason: is a crime lord

Tim: blew up LoA bases and prob killed thousands

Steph: stole a million dollars from Bruce

Damian: almost killed a zookeeper to free a tiger

Duke: blew up a warehouse because it would make his job easier

(This all happened that day)

When Batman is in one of his real bad moods and he says something to his kids that we both know Wonder Woman will make him regret.™️

Batman: Uncovered #1 (2024)

Things the kids have done that gave Bruce grey hair:

Robin!Dick jumped off the roof of a building first night of patrol

Dick threw Damian off the manor roof into the pool

Red Hood!Jason yelled “Fuck off Bruce” while bleeding out

Robin!Tim fell asleep on a mission and woke up just in time to get out of the line of fire

Robin!Damian fell through a window on patrol

Steph knocked Tim over the head with a pan to see if Tangled was realistic

Cas went a whole week not talking then full volume said “What the fuck Jason” in response to Jason getting stuck in his helmet

Duke crashed the Batmobile on a mission

[batfsm]

Okay but what about Duke?

Supportive parent Bruce Wayne

Damian showing him all his artwork because he knows that he will get the brightest smile and a “That looks beautiful sweetheart” every time

Dick being so excited to bring his dad to his gymnastics show because he knows that Bruce will start crying every time he lands a trick, without fail, and that means the women that come to watch will have someone else to fuss over

Someone at WE mentioning they don’t trust Tim because of his age and Bruce immediately scheduling a company wide meeting so he can express just how exceptional his son is. Tim’s face is the most red it has ever been the entire time

Cass doesn’t even have to do anything, he is just always looking at her with a fond little smile and on the verge of tears but sometimes, when she wants a little more then normal, she will take one of Jason’s books and read as much as she can aloud. That man absolutely loses it and hugs her as tight as he can while sobbing about how far his baby has come

Jason acts like he could care less about Bruce’s support, but the first time he overhears Bruce talking about him at a gala, telling some rich idiot who was questioning business decisions that Jason is the most competent man he has ever known and would trust him with not only the WE weapons department but his life, Jason pointedly does not look at Dick, who has a shit eating grin on his face, and walks as fast as he can to the bathroom

The best part is that Bruce doesnt even have to try he is just genuinely that proud of them

[morgangalaxy43]

I wish DC talked about the cultural differences and variety within the batfamily because stuff with Duke being black or Cassandra being Asian or even things that comics rarely touch on like Damian being partly Arab and Chinese or Dick having Romani heritage, should be talked about more

[gothamhappiness]

*Stephanie and Duke are planning to break in somewhere without Batman knowing because they want to prove a point*

Duke: We need to distract the guards.

Stephanie: Absolutely, yes.

Duke: What are we gonna do? Any idea?

Stephanie: We're gonna do things our way, for once. To show Batman we're smart kids too.

Duke: Fantastic! So, what's the plan?

Stephanie: I know! I'm gonna break their elbows while you poke their eyes!

Duke:

Stephanie: What???

Duke: You know what, fuck it, deal.

Stephanie: And if we fuck up, we can always blame it on Jason.

Duke: Who will blame Tim or Damian. Perfect plan, girl.

Stephanie: I know 💁‍♀️

Would a recording of jazz calling his name work or does it HAVE to be a live call over speaker

If recording works then all duke has to do is get jazz to record it once and he’s golden

I have a theory!

Duke groaned, his head tumping against his desk on his side of the room. He had heard these words often enough by now to know that his roommate was going to start ranting about something strange but weirdly fascinating again.

The last time his roommate started with that, he went on a rant how all rich people have a secret basement below their homes or some secretly identities with a bulletpoint list of what to look out for as a warning. Which Duke had a hard time not laughing about as he thought about Bruce, who ended up checking a lot of the bulletpoints.

"Danny what is it now?" Duke ended up asking after all. He knew he wouldn't be able to stop his roommate. No one aside from his sister apparently could, Danny even gave her number to Duke as an emergency number in case Danny ever gets so caught up in his own thoughts that even he himself couldn't stop himself anymore. Yeah that was weird to watch Danny trying to stop himself, but it was fascinating that his sister only needed to say his name twice over the speaker.

"Duke hear me out!" Okay of to a good start, so this meant Danny wasn't a hundred percent behind his own theory.

"Red Hood is a ghost or part ghost!"

If Duke had been drinking something, he would have taken a spit take here. For some reasons he had the image of Jason wearing a bed sheet saying the most deadpan 'Boo' in his head when Danny said that. He coughed, trying to hide that amusement. "What makes you say that?"

"You know how you 'saw' that I am a 'Meta'?" Danny ask him in return and Duke nodded still feeling a but weird with how Danny sounded when he refred to himself as Meta but also vividly remembering how his roommate pretty much blinded him on the day he moved into the dorms. "I can kind of see something similar. Like I explained how I have a ghost sense and all that, right?"

"Yea, you did." Duke nodded along, he new his roommate became a Meta through a lab accident. Once Duke had asked him and they had the cleared the air about both of them being Metas, Danny had somewhat opened up a bit on his whole weird family and Duke thought his family wasn't normal but compared to the Fentons the Batfamily might as well could be.

"Well last night I ran into him when I went scrap collecting for my engineering project!"

"DANNY!" Duke couldn't help but scowl. One the school was providing materials, Danny didn't need to do that and two, if he met Red Hood aka Jason that meant Danny wandered far enough to end up near or in Crime Alley! He would need to bug Jason later to find out more about that.

"I know, I know." His roommate waved him off. "Anyway, my ghost sense tingled. Soooo Red Hood got to be a ghost or part ghost, considering he hit a wall instead of phasing through it when he chased me..."

"Danny!" Duke scowled him again, hidding his amusement behind it. Now, he really had to get THAT story out of Jason later, plus he wanted to see if there maybe was possible video proof of Jason running into a wall chasing after Danny.

"Anyway! I got more than just that! Listen here, you know how I told you about some of my parents' inventions..." Danny instead continued finally starting his rant.

[thisiswhereikeepdcthings]

Duke would read Lovecraft's work and all the things he was afraid of and be like "weak. I see things no one else can see all the time and I'm fine. Get on my level scrub."

And he's so right for that

I picture Bruce rolling his eyes and wondering why his children are Like That™️ before proceeding to put on his Batman suit and put some Batarangs in his pocket or whatever and getting in his Batmobile so he can drive into the city and stalk criminals because that’s how he coped with his childhood trauma and he’s never stopped and he’s fine what are you talking about the horrors what horrors Gotham is a perfectly normal place that is definitely not cursed. More than once. Or more than like fifteen times. Whatever. He’s just going to go do his normal night job like the normal person he is.

It’s hard being a parent sometimes.
