#The signal

The phrase “black cat and golden retriever bestie” or any variation has ruined Tumblr’s perception of the Batfamily and Superfamily

Duke and Damian being cute 🥰

This is from Wayne Family Adventures on Webtoon, it’s one of the latest episodes I think :)

Would the bat boys have kids

And what type of dads would they be

—————————————————————

Bruce Wayne: no-fucking-shit bros making the justice league 2.0

—————————————————————

Dick Grayson: He would marry the mother, love his family, and want to be a dad, but he’d be terrified of messing them up or not being good enough for them—mostly because of limited time. He’s especially afraid of becoming like Bruce, even though they’d be completely different. I could see him occasionally getting overwhelmed, and when that happens, he might snap a little. But he would apologize relentlessly, explain to his child that he was wrong, and try to do better—and he would. He’d be an amazing father, spending every spare second with his daughter child. He would also become much better at saying no to others when it came to prioritizing his kid. He would love his child with all his heart and do everything possible to help them with anything, ever.

There would be no vigilante work for them until they were much, much older—around 17—and even then, the kid would have to beg. He would much rather they never got involved at all. I could see him trying to quit being Nightwing unless he was absolutely needed. When his child reached a certain age, he would be honest with them about it. He would love them unconditionally. I could also see him wanting another child—or maybe even a few—after having one.

—————————————————————

Jason Todd: He doesn’t want kids—he’s scared to—not because of time but because he doesn’t want to pass on the desire to be a vigilante, as well as the mental illness and addiction that runs in his family. But he would absolutely end up adopting more than one kid—street kids with nobody, kids like him. And he would make damn sure that under no circumstances would they be doing any vigilante work. He would do everything humanly possible to protect them from that life and to be everything Bruce wasn’t or couldn’t be.

He tries his hardest, but showing affection isn’t his strong suit. Still, he gets there for his kids. They know they’re loved unconditionally. He would go to the ends of the earth for them—to the grave and back (again)—and they know it. He would also take better care of himself for them. He’s honest with his kids about his life, but he uses it as a warning, making sure they don’t follow in his footsteps.

Out of all the boys, he’s the most likely to inherit Bruce’s “adoption addiction” to some degree, though never to the point where he has too many to manage or so many that they don’t get enough quality time with him. He would also be a safe haven for his kids’ friends—anyone could stay anytime.

—————————————————————

Tim Drake: He doesn’t really want kids either, but I could see him getting someone pregnant. He probably wouldn’t stay for the sake of it. If he loved her, he would, but if it was casual or a hookup, he’d try—but if they weren’t compatible, he wouldn’t force it. Not because he wouldn’t care about the kid, but because he’s smart enough to know that staying together for the wrong reasons could lead to resentment, disagreements, and an unhealthy environment. But he’d make sure things were on good terms and that he was always present in his child’s life.

He would be a good dad, but the most like Bruce. He wouldn’t be as emotionally available as the others, but he would do unspeakable things for his kid, and they would know they were loved—he just shows it differently. Out of all of them, he’d be the most open to allowing his kid into vigilantism, though he still wouldn’t be thrilled about it. He’d also be the most likely to hide it from them—but he’d fail. Not because he’s bad at it, but because that kid would be a motherfucking genius just like their dad.

He would seem to prioritize being a vigilante over his kid, though that wouldn’t be the case in the slightest. Still, his child would sometimes feel that way, and Tim would have to reassure them otherwise. As much as he loves them, he wouldn’t want another.

—————————————————————

Damian Wayne: As much as people say he’d want to continue his family line and legacy, I feel like with his character development, that wouldn’t be the case. He would not want or have kids because he simply doesn’t want them, along with ending the cycle of generational trauma and abuse that he under no circumstances wants to even risk continuing. And having a child out of obligation is just wrong and unfair to the child. He is content without a child. Unlike some others, there would be no accidents, no whoopsie-daisy surprise you’ve got a baby shocks for him.

—————————————————————

Duke Thomas: He would want to be a dad and would quit being a vigilante to raise his child until they were at least 16. When (or if) he returns, he would be completely honest with them—unless they inherited his abilities, in which case, they’d know from the jump. He would be a very loving father and would be in a committed relationship with the mother before having a child. On the rare occasions he and his partner argue, the kid would be none the wiser.

He’d be second only to Tim in being okay with his child becoming a vigilante, but even then, there would be very specific rules. His kid would never go out alone, never go on dangerous missions—only stakeouts or quiet patrols—and their life outside of vigilantism would always come first. Again, he would only want one child.

When I was younger my mom was the boss at finding affordable extracurriculars for me and my siblings. And although they're like wildly different people to me I think Elaine & Doug would do the same for Duke.

They'd have him signed up for multiple sports at the rec center and have him singing choir with the other church kids (Doug's the christian between the two parents). He'd be in boy scouts and learning new instruments and what not.

Duke would pick and choose favorites out of each, I don't think he'd like choir all that much, but I do think he'd love the violin. He'd stick with boy scouts for a minute because he made friends and he'd go with whatever sport those friends like which would probably be baseball/softball & he liked that well enough.

He'd be the type of adult to rattle off a bunch of random clubs he was in as a kid honestly. Like yeah he did synchronized swimming for a summer, but that was cut short because of some infection in the pipes and he never really got back into it.

I think Elaine & Doug just want to see their son do well, to have all the possible options in the world and not spend all his day reading alone (no matter how much Duke may adore that he needs social interactions). This of course only lasted until he was like 12, but every second of it mattered and Duke appreciates it all to this day.

hi soooo duke thomas again

inspired by my face claim for duke (young Pharrell...) vvv

[gothamite-rambler]

Duke: How old is Ray Al Ghul?

Ra's: It's Ra's!

Duke (holding up spray bottle): Don't care. How old is he, Queen Talia?

Talia: He's- Queen? Why, thank you!

Duke: You’re welcome! I never hold back on complimenting gorgeous people.

Damian (threatening tone, squinting his eyes angrily): Sleep with one eye open.

Talia: Dami, relax. As for my father, he won’t tell me when he was born, but it would make him roughly five hundred years old.

Duke: Daaaaamn! And he uses the pit to look like... that? And I did mean that to insult him.

Talia: Yeah, I have no idea why he chose to look the way he does, but you're handsome, Father.

Ra's (raising a club above Duke's head): Thank you, sweetie.

Talia: As for me, I’m Bruce’s age. Ra's had me late in his life.

Duke: You... you're Bruce’s age? For real? I figured you used the pit to maintain this stunning appearance, but Bruce's age? Girl, you've always looked fabulous!

Talia giggled, covering her mouth flattered by the praise.

Talia: A woman has to maintain appearanc— Father, lower the club! And Damian, put your katana back in its sheath!

Duke glanced at the two men, both ready for a fight. Damian pouted but lowered his sword, and Ra's lowered his as well, giving Duke a light smack on the back of the head.

Ra's: Kids these days are getting more brazen.

Duke (rubbing his forehead): Rude. Talia, if you’re not okay with my compliments, I can—

Talia (hugging Duke): No, no, no, you're quite alright. I know you don’t have nefarious reasons for it. You’re just a... good man. Keep it up.

Duke: I was raised well.

Damian: Sleep with one eye open, Thomas!

Duke rolled his eyes unbothered by his little brother's threats, he had dealt with worse in the Narrows.

Here’s a little map of the world, on the left of the islands there can be whatever land from FromSoftware you want really, it’s just a small little island. Also, I whipped this up in seven minutes, I promise you that my other drawings do not look this hideous, 😭 I will update it at some point.

I drew the bat family

[kad3spad3]

I love how they simply can’t fathom their father doing that. “What the HELL did you just say?!” The shocked face Duke has. Jason and Dick looking disgusted. Love this page

Headcanon that since Jason can’t go out with his family publicly, what he does instead is show up in random disguises.

Bruce is chatting up some socialites at a gala, talking about the joys of fatherhood and how rewarding it is. Meanwhile he made eye contact with Jason disguised as a waiter twenty minutes ago, and is currently trying to stop his eye from twitching.

Dick is speaking to a third grade class as a part of the Bludhaven Police department outreach program, except when he walks in Jason is sitting behind the teachers desk, playing the role of substitute.

Babs can’t help but stare when Jason hands her a coffee from behind the counter of her favorite coffee shop. (His name tag reads Peter, and for a second she thinks she’s actually lost it).

Tim walks into Wayne Towers one day and on his way in, he waves to his secretary- lo and behold Marjorie has been replaced by Jason. It takes him three hours to notice.

Cass walks into ballet class to discover her teacher had to take a sick day- his replacement is Jason in a beret who talks in a terrible French accent the entire class, only to drop it at the very end to talk in a thick New Jersey accent. Her entire class talks about it for weeks.

Stephanie hails a cab on her way home one night, only to find Jason driving. She’s not sure how he pulled it off or how he got a cab, but her mind is effectively blown.

Duke is on a school trip to the natural history museum, and when the tour guide introduces himself, Duke can’t help but role his eyes. Jason gives a surprisingly good tour, even throwing in some tidbits about a robbery that went down just last week that the Signal stopped.

Damian’s encounter happens when he’s with Jon in metropolis. He’s watching Jon play baseball, and when Jon steps up to bat, he can’t help but notice a the umpire looks a little familiar.
