#ROLE SWAP THEM and have CASS be the Robin who Goes Off and Jason is a Batkid who kicks ass idk!!!!

Maybeee...

Role swap au but instead of being like villains being heroes and heroes being villains is heroes and their respective rogues changing places with ANOTHER set of heroes and rogues (main example: Batfam & Superfam)

My main idea would be the batfam being avians instead of aliens, or maybe something with wings or bird/bat-like

I LOVE THIS, MASKEDANON.

Batfam being avian's amazing, and just to make sure Tim sticks out more, I'll make him a flightless avian compared to the others who can all fly.

So let's deep dive further into what type of species of winged creatures that might be.

Bruce: I went with Flying Fox due to them having one of the biggest wings, so instead of a cape, Robins hides under his wings, but the wings are purposefully designed to be mistaken for a cape, as well as in civilian life he has some magic item that hides their wings.

Dick: I didn't go with the typical Dick is a Robin but a cockatiel since these small, affectionate birds are easy to train and love interacting with people.  They are great for families with children.

Jason: Red-tailed black cockatoo Birds are known for representing strength and resilience, but I've also heard they are an omen of bad luck.

Tim: Junin flightless grebes are known for their transformation and survival yet somehow are a critically endangered species.

Steph: just a regular cockatoo whose symbolism represents happiness, success, and fulfilment

Cass: a blackbird, not just because I thought it would be funny since, you know, black bats Is her vigilante name, but because blackbirds can represent transformation, rebirth, and wisdom.

Duke: Rainbow lorikeets can represent freedom and fun.

Damien: The oilbird is probably one of the closest birds to being a bat that isn't. They spend their days in darkness, resting deep inside caves and sometimes thick trees.

Now Superfam I imagine they are all humans, which is tricky because they don't have the resources to do a lot.

However, Clark is known to be an amazing investigative journalist, though not on the same level as Bruce.

But being an investigative journalist allows him access to areas most can't, so he uses both civilian identity and vigilante to get what he wants. he still goes by Superman or maybe even Superhuman.

He's a farm boy. His body is still going to be rather buff and strong, and most of his stuff is off the grid because that's how he was raised, so he spent a lot of time either fixing or building stuff, so it's not a stretch that he's able to go to the local scrap yards or other farmers and build his vigilante gear, which may be similar to the fist thingy in Arcane that Vi has.

Also, with the whole rogues changing places, is that with other villains?

If so, having the Joker be Superman's villain, maybe instead of Jason dying, we go similar to the Injustice universe, where Lois's death is the result of the Joker, instead of Clark killing her. Maybe he's tricked into going to the wrong building that doesn't have her in it, and the building his wife is in is destroyed; he tries to kill the Joker but is stopped by Batman.

Batman VS Lex Luthor: You could have Bruce use his knowledge and money to constantly stop a lot of Lex's dangerous plans.

There's no Kryptonite because Bruce isn't a Kryptonian, but Lex Luthor tries, in his words, to clip their wings and is one of the few to realise the cape isn't a cape and that's how he's getting around so fast.

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK <3

Okay, to add to the Jason-Cass twin theory fire I just wanna propose the idea that the Reason why Shiva offered to train Tim in that Robin miniseries was bc she Instantly knew that (costume change aside) he wasn’t the Same Boy who confronted her months ago abt being her son. (If ur expanding this to an AU we can throw in something abt rumors she heard but didn’t want to believe abt Jason dying, connect the dots btwn that and her showing up to a motivation of having to find out for herself. Throw in some Humor™️ with her seeing that Tims style is COMPLETELY unrefined & taking Offense that this boy following after her son is Clearly Lacking lmao)

Idk, I just think it’s funny that the last time in Bat-continuity you see Shiva is when Bruce and Jay are asking if she’s Jay’s mom, and the very NEXT time is her crossing paths with Tim. And idk, I’m a Sucker for a good twin story too so aksjak
