#Jarro the Starro

[batfambrainrotbeloved]

Okay but can you imagine Jarro actually was a Robin in this timeline and not the og one? Like Tim is stalking and is like “Is—Is that fucking starfish as Robin?” Then he messages the Bats like:

Cardinal: A starfish?

Oracle: Yep.

Cardinal: …Okay.

GOD- THE FUCKING CHAOS

Tim: I fixed everything

Jarro: :D

Tim: ....I may have made a mistake.

[gternbern]

I reckon jarro and damien would be freinds, and Damien would hide jarro from batman

Clark: So between the two of us, we have… a lot of kids together.

Bruce: A thousand and twenty-three kids, to be exact.

Clark: According to the last official count, anyway. And, umm, this is kind of embarrassing to admit…

Therapist: Whatever you say here stays within this room, Clark.

Clark: Sometimes, it gets confusing. Last weekend, I took the kids to the beach, but… I accidentally left one of them behind.

Bruce: Is that why there was an actual starfish lying on the couch instead of our alien starfish son?

Clark: I-I found him and brought him back! It was an honest mistake.

Therapist: ...I see. [jots down notes]

Clark: And yesterday, it was Jarro 101’s and Jarro 102’s birthday, so I bought two pairs of boots. But then I realized it was also Jarro 103’s and Jarro 104’s birthday, so… the four of them ended up with just one boot each! [sniffles] I messed up.

Bruce: I told you it wasn’t an issue, Clark.

Therapist: And how did the kids react?

Bruce: I told them that only an elite few would receive one Boot, and they’re thrilled. They haven’t stopped bragging about their “exclusive presents.” Although, in hindsight, it might not have been the best idea. I had to fend off a few calls from someone named Ronaldo. Those kids can be very competitive.

Clark: [wiping his eyes] I just wanted to get proper gifts for the kids, you know? It’s hard sometimes because they keep self-replicating, and my wallet’s taking a serious beating. But… I can’t even be upset when Bruce looks so happy about it. Am I… Am I a bad dad?

Halloween special!

The JL are hosting a Halloween party for some whatever reason, but who cares? It's fun! The Bats are, well the bats but they switched their costumes. Batman was forced into an early days robin suit by his kids (If you know you know) , Nightwing was Red hood, Spoiler and Black bat did a switcharoo, Red Hood was regrettably Red Robin (there was no one else to take ans he would rather DIE before wearing Batmans costume), Red Robin was regrettably Red hood (same situation with Red hood, but he just doesnt fit in the Batman costume right), Robin was Nightwing. Signal happily wore the Batman costume as Jarro wore signals.

The supes was a bit more creative Superman was kryptonite (no joke, he painted a diamond costume green and just wore that.), Super boy(Kon) was Santa Claus and no I will not elaborate on that, Super boy(Jon) is casper the friendly white ghost and I will also not elaborate on that it just is. Kara had a French fry costume and I will also refuse to elaborate on that.

Wonderwoman went as herself because, why not?

Shazam fam was a tad bit strange Captain Marvel had a big old baby onesie on(how did that man find his size), complete with a Bonnet. Mary Marvel had a grandma costume complete with a thrift store grandma sleeping gown, curly grey wig, and a rolling pin. Captain Marvel Junior could only be described as an overworked mom. When they were asked what they were they only replied with "Dysfunctional family."

The Kid count: 35

otherwise known as Bruce's coping method is "become father"

[littlefankingdom]

The best thing about Jarro is how it shows that if someone calls Bruce "dad"/"father"/any parent related terms, he accepts his new role immediately. No debate, the alien calls him "dad" so he is his dad. Random kid calls him "dad", he brings him home. That's his, now.

Jokingly calling Batman "dad" or "mom"? Jokes on you, you're his child now.

And we don't use that enough in this fandom.

The Batty Bunch!!

[junespriince]

if you orphan a batfam work you are literally orphaning orphans, unless it an orphan fic then it orphaning an orphaned orphan fic which is okay!

[jarro-stan-account]

Jarro (starfish son in a Robin costume) sitting on Bruce’s shoulder issuing a declaration of war is crackier than half of all fic and the best of all comics

DP x DC crossover

I was today years old when I discovered about Jarro, the Starro in a Jar.

A literal alien starfish belonging to a predator warmonger dangerous species, whose parent was a reformed supervillain.

A kid, who considers Batman his dad and aspires to become the bestest Robin ever.

Who has telepathy, can change size and mind control people with spores (to keep them safe from a supervillain).

Does any of these sound familiar? (⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)

So, what would happen if Danny and Jarro meet?

Would they bond over being different from everyone around them?

Over trying to fit in, even if they're Apex predators among lambs?

Over being feared because of what they are, not who they are?

Over having terrifying powers that could potentially end the most powerful being on Earth (see Dan and that time when Jarro mind-controlled the whole JL so that they wouldn't face a big bad villain that could kill them)?

Over being left alone/behind when everyone else would/could die (because of old age or enemies)?

There are so many possibilities!

This is Jarro, btw:

@stealingyourbones isn't he adorable? (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)
