Fictional Characters on DofE (should I make a second part???)

In honour of my disastrous DofE Practice Expedition, here are my head canons of fictional DC characters on DofE:

Bruce: Snuck a phone onto the trip just to call his mom (Alfred) Dick: Acts like a mother hen and comes over-equipped Jason: Gets so angry from squelching in wet shoes that he has to distance himself from the rest of the group Tim: Only brings the necessary items and fills the rest of his bag with flasks of coffee Damian: Gets so fed up that he gives everyone the silent treatment Steph: Survives of jelly babies and dried mango Cass: Manages get everyone back on track, but remains completely silent Duke: Has a mini tantrum every time they get lost  Barry: Manages to get everyone lost in the first place Wally: Slips in every puddle Bart: Rushes back and just waits outside the gates of the campsite for five hours Diana: She’s watched the Hunger Games and is ready to go hunting for lunch Kon: Manages to break the tent poles (they find him and Tim in the morning shivering because half the tent flew into a tree) Jon: Relentlessly happy no matter what Billy: No one knew how vulgar he was until the trip

Bonus: Babs: Stays at home and makes fun of everyone else’s pain

Artist: Alfred G Buckham (1879 - 1956) English / Title: Aerial View of Edinburgh / Date: c.1920 / Info: Buckham had crashed nine times before he was discharged from the Royal Naval Air Service as a hundred per cent disabled. Continuing to indulge his passion for aerial photography, he wrote that 'If one's right leg is tied to the seat with a scarf or a piece of rope, it is possible to work in perfect security'. Presumably these were the perilous conditions in which the photographer took this dazzling picture of Edinburgh.

He looks like a spitting image of his sisters!

And some royal drags? : Alfred , hereditary prince of Saxe coburg and gotha (middle) with some mates, all in ladies costumes. Early 1890s

I wonder if his grandma (Queen Victoria) , saw this image…

BORN ON THIS DAY:

Alfred (Alfred Ernest Albert; 6 August 1844 – 30 July 1900) was sovereign Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha from 1893 to 1900.

He was the second son and fourth child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

He was known as the Duke of Edinburgh from 1866 until he succeeded his paternal uncle Ernest II as the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in the German Empire.

Pennyworth: Gainful Employment

Three years after the bomb dropped on London and it’s all starting to come together for Alfred.

MI5 have offered him a promotion, he’s got his mum set up in a nice flat in Edinburgh and Dave Boy is even paying his bar tabs. So, of course, Alfred is going out of his mind with boredom.

How convenient, then, that a strangely worded letter arrives from Gotham, thanking Alfred for his application for the position of Head Butler to Wayne Manor, urging him to come as soon as possible.

There’s just one small problem—Alfred didn’t apply for any job. Which can only mean one thing: Martha and Thomas are in danger and they need Alfred to get them out of it.

It’s probably a trap.

Alfred’s almost hoping it is.

Guess he’ll find out.

I’m trying a new thing where I post fics I’m not entirely happy with but instead of letting them languish and rot in my drafts, ultimately killing my desire to do anything, I bludgeon my fatalistic perfectionism to death with a hammer and post them anyway.

Hopefully it’s all right.

Also don’t worry if you’re waiting on Richard’s story updating. I’m just sorting through WIPs in the hopes it’ll clear up some mental bandwidth :)
