#bat and the robins just gaslighting everyone :)

[dzasta15]

In the spy au

Does batman still get robins?

ABSOLUTELY

I feel like it’d be more parent relationship vs a mentor, the boys just being professional meddlers and bruce has to clip leashes onto their baby harnesses

Dpx Dc AU: Ectoplasm is required for Ghosts to be visible to the human eye- And Danny creates his own ectoplasm.

Danny is visiting Jazz in Gotham and its weird how friendly everyone is. Like, the city gets a really bad rapport, everywhere he goes there is someone trying to strike up a conversation or answer his questions about getting around to the tourist spots. A few people even pointed out restaurants and ways to find off the beaten path gems! Jazz seems to role her eyes at him, but when he brings up her 'roommate' being kind of cute she flat out laughs.

Danny then comes to understand the Jazz doesn't have a roommate and that Ghosts in Gotham don't move far from their haunts- He's just been inadvertently turning these undead folks visible by accident of generating abnormal amounts of ectoplasm.

Which, is comforting in a way, he's never walking this dangerous city alone and really, most of the ghosts have been really friendly! They disappear once he's a few blocks away from them anyway.

Tim Drake is having a horrible day.

He'd been given intel that one of Black Mask's guys was going to snitch but that he'd died before given the opportunity to reach out to the GCPD. He tracks down the guy's last know whereabouts and yikes. Its next to the Theater. Tim was often grateful for his childhood obsessions, this time it backfired.

Tim and Bruce get into an argument about trust and respect and, worst of all, mental health. And even though Tim was vehemently against Batman accompanying Red Robin to the alleyway - that's exactly what happens.

They arrive and Bruce is closing up faster than a clam in the contaminated Gotham Bay- Clearly being in the Alley bothers him. No fucking shit. RR gets started on collecting evidence, there are a few extra blood splatters and a single left shoe... When a kid walks into the Alley.

"Uh, sorry to intrude-" The kid looks scared shitless, and runs away. And then, all of a sudden, Batman and Robin aren't alone in the Alley.

Tim can hardly believe his eyes as the dead man appears and quickly blabs Black Mask's bank passwords and what the plan had been- and While he's over joyed to have that closure, he turns around to Batman weeping in the arms of his parents.

The ghosts fade, and the emotions are certainly charged as this was never something Bruce or Tim would have ever dreamed of happening. Ghosts in Gotham. Talking, floating, granting closure.

"RR, Bats, come in." Oracle calls into their ears.

"Reporting in, but, uh, we need a minute."

"A minute? We have a case on 4th and-"

"O, we just saw the ghosts of the Waynes. It's going to be a minute."

"...Lots of Ghost reports lately then. Any chance you saw a kid looking like he could be adopted?"

"Yeah, actually, black hair and blue eyes. He was super polite before he ran away."

"We have work to do. Oracle, lets prioritize finding our person of interest and divert Nightwing and Robin to the case on 4th." Batman cut between them on the comms and he sounded... calmer than either of them anticipated.

---

Jazz is no longer laughing when Batman appears at her door explaining that he's looking for Danny (Who already flew away from town to get a good night's sleep before class on Monday). Turns out Danny reunited the man with his dead parents just briefly- and then the second guy appears and mentions how Danny had also given a guy who'd been murdered by a Mob enough time to explain the ongoing threats the city faced.

Jazz just rolls her eyes and says that it's not like the ghosts are going anywhere anytime soon and Danny will visit in another month. When pressed, she just explains that her brother is a weirdo. No of course he doesn't have powers. Gaslight and Girlbosses her way out.

And Jazz thinks that the game is up for at least another month, obviously when Danny visits more shit will stir up, but then this new guy appears.

Unlike the other Bats who are keen on watching her from a distance, the Red Hood knocks on her door. Are her eyebrows all the way into her hairline when Red Hood asks her to send his thanks along to Danny because somehow this whole situation led to his Dad expressing remorse for his actions and apologizing? Yes, yes they are.

But Jazz can smell Dissertation Data off of these vigilantes- Who is she to send them away? Jazz welcomes Red Hood into her place for a cup of tea and a small chat.

The story then devolves into Jazz getting shit done, Danny being cute by proximity and also bringing ghosts to the party, and the Bats having trauma resolve between them.

[snakeredbirdbatkatana]

You know what I need everytime Tim or Dick lie no one catches them. Not Kon not Bruce no one.

They could say the sky is fucking purple and immediately they assume it is and god forbid they check, Oh my eyes are deceiving me.

I need Tim to walk up to Bruce say some out of pocket bullshit and across the room Dick just looks up.

The only ones who can clock each others shit is each other.

Sometimes they make a game of it they gaslight Jason so hard he thinks there's another Robin named Nibor.

Brotherly bonding by making everyone else confused and slightly terrified.

The thing is no one will ever find out no one understands their tells. They both have there own ways of making everything sound like the gods honest truth.

Nevermind the brotherly comfort or angst where someone ask if they are ok and when the I'm fine is said They know to do a bat sucide watch.

Just think big bird and baby bird gaslight gatekeep girlbossing their way to victory.

How To Balance Your Daytime and Nighttime Activities So That You Don't Burn Yourself Out More Than You Already Have

Batman has an insane patrol schedule. Danny knew this, somewhere in the back of his mind, but it was only just settling in for him.

"You're gonna be dead tired tomorrow," he warns Dick, "You were tired for only being out for two hours longer than your new normal, going from sunset to sunrise is gonna knock you out. I can't drive, Dick, so we'll be stuck in Gotham for another day if you pass out."

Dick patted his head with a smile. "I'll be fine. I'll vene bring ya back some Bat Burger, okay?"

Danny blinked. "Bat Burger?"

"You've- You've never had Bat Burger?" Louder, he called to Barbra and Tim who'd just come back from wherever the Cave entrance is with a comm for Danny, "Danny's never had Bat Burger!"

Barbra gasped dramatically. Tim clutched ay imaginary pearls. "You've never had Bat Burger?!"

"That sounds like an exclusively Gotham thing, and I am decidedly not from Gotham."

It was quiet for another moment as the three stared at him. Finally, Dick blinked. "Have you always been Midwestern?"

"As far as I know, why?"

His head tilted slightly to the left. "Your accent just seems..."

"Much more prevalent." Tim finished.

"Yeah, that."

“I don’t know what you guys are talking about. I’ve always talked like this.” A lie. He was hiding his accent from everyone so that tracking him down would be ever so slightly harder. Danny shrugged, “Right, Barbra?”

She shook her head. "No, you leave me outta this. As far as I know, you've sounded like this the whole time and these two are only just picking up on the accent."

Good job, Danny. Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss your way into their hearts.

"Anyway," Barbra continued, holding her hand to Danny, "This is a comm. It'll keep you patched in until we come back up to the manor after patrol. If you get tired of us or when you sleep, just take it out and put it on your nightstand; we'll take it back down in the morning for you."

"Are you sure you don't wanna come to the Cave?" Tim asked.

Danny shook his head, the comm now sitting in his left ear. "Mister Wayne already hates me, I'm not gonna go into his space. Besides, I'm already intruding as it is."

"I just don't want you to be bored."

"It's alright, I'm sure I'll find something to occupy myself with while you guys are out. And, isn't the whole point of me being on comms so that you guys can talk to me?"

"You're right," Dick agreed, "We'll see ya when we get back."

"Alright."

Occupy himself with? Yeah, he's going back to Bludhaven. Another problem he just realized, though: How is Bat Tech going to react to/around Phantom? Danny figures he has about two minutes to figure it out or he's gonna have to bench himself for the night.

There was no one around, so he ducked into the nearest room to transform. It was a quick lightshow, as always, but not enough to draw attention of anyone passing by.

Except Alfred. Alfred probably knows.

Alfred won't tell Bruce, right?

Right?

Probably not.

Hopefully.

Focusing on the comm revealed no static, though there was no sound either. Was someone trying to talk to him already? Hopefully not. That'd be upsetting.

There was a soft crackle before: "Danny, can you hear us?"

Phantom allowed a small smile of victory. "Yeah, loud and clear, Barbra."

"Call me Batgirl right now, okay? Tim's Robin, and, as you know, Dick's Nightwing. And, if you really need him, Bruce is Batman."

"Got it."

"We don't use real names on comms," Robin said, "Do you have something we could call you?"

That's probably a fish for what his hero name used to be. All three of them - Tim, at the very least - were hung up on the 'not anymore' of his denial and it really showed. He could make it easy and tell them to call him Phantom, but he really does not want them finding out his childhood right now. So, "Tutelary."

"'Tutelary'?" Nightwing asked.

"It's Greek," Batgirl said, "Tutelaries are deities or patrons of protection."

"Aw, that's cute," Robin cooed teasingly, "But you aren't doing much protecting from the Manor."

Phantom - is he really ready to give up that name? - blushed green, "Shut up. Protection Spirits are a big deal where I'm from!" Yeah, meaning most people don't actually think they're protecting them, but who really cares about technicalities?

"And that would be..?" Batman spoke up, his voice coming out much more 'gargle glass' over the comms than was probably intended.

Phantom smirked. "The Midwest." Limits options, but not specifically but he figured he could throw them a bone. Though, that's the only one he's giving Mister Wayne.

Speaking of, "I'll try not to be a distraction, Mister Batman sir, but I won't make any promises."

Nightwing, Batgirl and Robin were all sniggering. Batman was quiet for no more than a few seconds. "Stop getting distracted; We're leaving."

"Yes, sir!"

Phantom listened closely, focusing on the Cave below the Manor. Batman and Robin had gotten into some kind of assault vehicle-race car mix and were driving out into Gotham Proper quickly. Nightwing and Batgirl were both on motorcycles, leaving out a different way but just as quickly.

"Have fun out there, you guys."

Nightwing laughed, "We'll bring ya back some Bat Burger."

Part 15 Part 17

Real quick, before you move on, a quick Thank You to @bianca-hooks123 for the idea for Danny's name Tutelary. I hadn't even thought of using that until it was suggested, so thanks <3

[a-bad-case-of-the-stephs]

Stephanie isn't a potential suspect that Tim investigates or even considers at all for even a single second during Tim Drakes Birthday Gaslighting Saga.

It don't think its because she's not "sanctioned" right now, because Tim already knows and saw that she's still acting as Spoiler despite being fired by Batman, making her fulfill the two things we know about the Traitor, they are a vigilante and someone Tim considers a friend at this point in time.

Additionally, she seems kind of like an ideal suspect. Future-Alfred claims that around Tim's birthday is roughly the moment this mysterious Traitor is diverging along their own path, and who has just been unceremoniously fired for no goddamn reason and whose father has just died? Spoiler.

Who appears during the Tim Drake Birthday Gaslighting Saga but is never at any point is under any type of suspicion whatsoever? Stephanie.

Tim is considering all the options here, it's an exercise in pure paranoia. No one is safe from suspicion. (Additionally, even thought Huntress is about as "family" to the rest of the main bat-team as Stephanie is (not really at all), Tim still tracks and suspects her.) So what gives??

Curious to what the people think. I certainly have my opinions.

5 Tim Drake-centric Must Reads

I like Tim Drake-centric fanfictions for two main reasons, although Dick Grayson is actually my favourite Robin. Firstly, Tim reminds me a lot of Peter Parker (a genius, photographer, teenage superhero with a billionaire superhero mentor who is also a father-figure to them), who is probably my favourite superhero of all time. Secondly, the big thing I love about the Batman fandom is the Bat Family (aka BatFam). I adore the sibling relationship between the characters, always just want to them be close brothers/sisters. That is why my Batman fic recommendations are Tim Drake-centric. Because during and after Tim's time as Robin we have a larger BatFam. It's the family element.

Bad Parent Jack Drake, Child Abuse, Trains, Implied/Referenced Homophobia, Crying, Gaslighting, Coming Out, Hurt/Comfort, Family

Summary:

When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.

Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

Language: English Words: 24,696 Chapters: 5/5

Yuki Note:

If you only ever read two Batman fanfictions, then let this be the second one (The Long Way Home being the first). This is an excellent representation of gaslighting, manipulation and mental and emotional child abuse (by Jack Drake to Tim Drake) and how it can effect an adolescent child. This is such a brilliant fanfiction – highly recommended!

Summary:

With Jason tentatively back in the Batfamily, things are going pretty well for him--except for the whole thing with Tim. But who gives a shit about Tim Drake?

But when Jason and Tim are pulled into a frightening race for their lives inside a labyrinth that's out to kill them, they may have to look past their differences just to stay alive. Maybe along the way, they'll discover they aren't as different as they thought, and family comes in many different forms.

Language: English Words: 111,685 Chapters: 13/13

Yuki Note:

This is one of the best fanfictions I have ever read. This is written so well that it could be a published novel. However, before reading this please be aware of the horror elements throughout the story as well as the canon typical injuries, near death experiences and past mentioned child abuse in here (not by Bruce). If you only ever read one Batman fanfiction, then let it be this one.

A really fun read! Ever wanted a brilliantly clever and magical Tim Drake who is also able to see the future? Well, then this one is for you! This story covers Tim’s first and second year (he skips a year so if I recall correctly he skips to third year after his first year) and is a Fix It Fic for A Death In The Family. There is also a sequel fic in the works. Recommended!

Tim's parents faked their deaths and fled the country years ago, but neglected to take him with them. He spent some time on the streets, and now at 16, he makes a living as a fortune teller, stalking and hustling the shit out of Gotham's elite by telling them eerily accurate fortunes based on the information he gathers about them.

His life is peculiar but he wouldn't change a thing. When he gets booked for the big Wayne Halloween party, however, he finds himself getting all tangled up with the Waynes, and the more fortunes he tells, the tighter the snare becomes.

or: Tim just wanted to scam Gotham's elite, not end up on the Batfamily's watchlist. But it seems they just won't leave him alone..

Language: English Words: 69,788 Chapters: 30/30

Yuki Note:

This has been on a lot of BatFam rec lists lately and for good reason! This is a fantastic read, a very fun and smart idea of how Tim could join the BatFam late. I really like that this Tim is a bit more down and out whilst still remaining quintessentially him (I just think it’s great that he and Jason and Steph have more to relate to one another to). I am here for all the sibling content so I love this! Highly recommended!

OK. I am disabled and am becoming very fatigued so I’m only going to recommend one more in this post, however I have a full list of 72 Batman fandom recommendations on my AO3 account here. (Please note that three of these are JayTim, however that is under the caveat that they are set in AUs where they were never adopted brothers and are great fanfictions.)

Bookmarker's Tags: Minor Character Death, Suicide

Yuki Note (from original bookmark):

I was hesitant when I went into this story, mostly because of the gender change for Tim/Timi. I am not against gender changes in stories but I find they need a point, a purpose, a reason for the change. But there is a point to Timi being a woman in this story, as it deals with the challenges, discrimination and sexism that she has to deal with in the corporate and hero world.

I really enjoyed the corporate storyline since few stories actually deal with Timi's work and the challenges therein. The family storyline is great too and I love how everything comes to a head and forces Bruce and Dick to face their failures and finally, finally do something about them. Highly recommended!

P.S. Don't worry about the Pre-Jason/Tim tag on this story. There is literally no Jason/Tim at all, in fact they don't even interact any more than Tim interacts with Cass, Steph or Dick. This is 100% Jason&Tim, a close sibling bond.

Trigger Warning: This is presently not tagged on the story but should be. It is mentioned that a minor recurring character commits suicide in the story. You don't see it, it is only mentioned. To those who find suicide triggering, be aware of this.

Enjoy! And feel free to explore my full AO3 rec list here.

A idea- Jason and Damian

I feel like Jason would have a soft spot for Damian like after Damian is scolded Jason cuddles and comforts him and they both try to hide it from everyone so only they know.

Before galas Jason would fix Damians suit and start listing put advice on how to avoid annoying people, sneak off and to mess with people or sometimes during patrol Jason would slide Damian more food (at this point he has a snack pocket that Damian is constantly checking whenever their alone. People just see Robin digging in RedHoods pocket like a child trying to steal candy) Damian would watch out for Jason by checking on him after patrol using his own bugs he left on Jason (Jason definitely knows about them) or Damian buys him better items like weapons, medical supplies or clothes and Jason would read Damian books almost every night (or when he's free)

They both would rather die then let any of the other bats know about it. (They do it in front of Tim just to mess with him)

---

Jason: I love you little brother give me a hug

Damian: Jason...Big brother!

*hugs*

Tim: ...OKAY WHAT THE FUC-

*later*

Tim: Dick I'm telling the truth they were cuddling, cuddling!

Dick: sshh, shh it's okay your big brother is here, let's go get you to bed-

Tim: God damnit I'm not sleep deprived I saw it!

----

I love the idea of Jason and Damian just gaslighting Tim. (Both learned how to gaslight people by Talia)

[necrotic-nephilim]

For the ask game, Jason/Tim where the Pit makes Jason possessive rather than mad and so he imprints on Tim as being his and needing to take him and make him fully his, turn Tim into Jason's own creature? I think that could be a cool idea, since the Pit has different effects on different people.

for the ask game!

oooh, i love explorations of what the Pit does to the psyche, especially if it falls outside of the typical Pit Madness schtick. here's how i would try and write that

so what i think is fun about Jason and the Pit is, he wasn't *dead* when he got dunked, he was just mentally catatonic. dunking him in the Pit was a gamble on Talia's part and Ra's even points out in Red Hood: Lost Days it may not work. so to have it work but just... wire Jason *differently* is a lot of fun to me. i like the idea of Jason being a bit aimless after the Pit. he's got his wits to him but it's still the "came back wrong" vibes. and when Talia shows him the pictures of Tim as Robin, trying to show him that Bruce replaced him, it has the opposite effect. Jason's wires are crossed in all sorts of directions and all he can think of is he won't let what happened to him happen to another kid. so he spirals, looking into Tim and getting more and more obsessed. what starts as a genuine concern for Tim's safety becomes a possessive imprinting. Tim becoming Jason's purpose.

one of the defining things about Jason's feelings on Tim, in canon, is feeling like Tim is being held back by his loyalty to Bruce. so, i don't know how literal you meant creature, but i'm taking it balls to the walls bc i like fucked up monster vibes. the *how* is the fun part of it. it's easy for Jason to corner Tim, kidnap him. but how does Jason decide to corrupt Tim? i know the Court of Owls is a New-52 thing and i'm going off of pre-Flashpointt, but, i think it'd be fun to steal it. just because well. i really fucking like Talons. and Jason making Tim a Talon would be a twofold thing- for one, it protects Tim. it's a lot harder to kill a Talon than a person. and for two, it makes Tim easier to control. i think Tim would fight it hard, but the Talon programming combined with Jason's fierce protectiveness would snap him pretty easily.

Jason would be smart about it. he'd keep Tim locked up for at least a few months. because if Robin goes missing, then the calvary is going to start looking for him. Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl, Oracle, Huntress, the Titans, everyone. and Jason knows even if he puts a mask on Tim, he needs to wait. needs to let the smoke blow over. so for months, it's just Jason and Tim somewhere underground where no one can find them. that's where the bulk of their bonding comes in. because i do think Jason would want Tim to *genuinely* like him outside of just monsterous programming. Jason would work to earn that trust, even if it's through manipulation. tbh i think he'd lie to Tim, either gaslighting Tim about his loved ones not looking for him, or straight up tell Tim he's imagining having been Robin. anything that deconstructs Tim's idea of a support system outside of Jason. Jason is Tim's savior, in his eyes, and he'd want Tim to believe that too. that Jason had to protect Tim, from the Bat. very fucked up vibes.

once Jason's sure it's safe, he'd slowly start making his presence known as Red Hood, with Tim by his side. Jason would still want to do the whole Red Hood thing, but now, he has the ability to taunt Bruce about Tim. it'd be a fun mind game for Jason, telling Bruce that he lost *another* Robin. (three, if you count Steph) meanwhile, Jason gets to go home to Tim the whole time. it's a fun game to him, while also making him preen that he's protecting what he believes belongs to him.

eventually, the truth would come out. but by then, Tim's too deep in Jason's pocket to listen to anyone, even Dick. he'd lash out at anyone claiming Jason is manipulating him, and he'd be Jason's perfect little partner. very fucked up ending where Jason and Tim are "happy" together, but in the most fucked up way. i'd give Tim a new codename, something like Shrike because that sounds fun and pointy. they'd almost be a Batman and Robin parallel/foil, in a way.

also, just as a bonus alternative: another route i think you could take this idea is playing with Joker Junior. like, Jason imprinting on Tim *just* as Joker kidnaps Tim. so that's what sets Jason's plans into action, he was going to wait for the perfect moment but now, Tim is missing and Jason will be *damned* if someone gets to Tim first. and since Jason has well. firsthand experience with the Joker, he's able to find Tim first and since Tim is so mentally shattered at this point, it makes him easy to manipulate. easy to get him to traumabond onto the person who saved him and even once he's mentally recovered, he's so attached to Jason he wouldn't want to leave Jason. and maybe Jason would use Lazarus Resin or something similar to make Tim more creature-like, and even get Tim to agree to it, under the guise of it helping protect Tim. this route could be fun bc it plays more with just how "consensual" it is for Tim and how much he really has his wits about him, choosing Jason after being brainwashed.

Asking the Batfam "How would you describe yourself?"

Batman: I am vengance- I am the night- I am Batman!

Bruce: A very tired father of I can’t even count how many

Brucie: I’m all your’s for the evening

Nightwing: Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss

Oracle: Better than you

Black Bat: *vague look that leaves you both confused and terrified* Red Hood: I make jokes about my own death. Take that as you will. Red Robin: A narcissist with depression. I have a God complex, think I'm better then everyone, and am just a tad bit power hungry, but I also severly hate myself and despise my own existance.

Spoiler: Indescribable *finger guns* Signal: I now live in a permanent state of confusion

Robin: Why are you asking me these imbecilic questions when we should be discussing the rates at which many species are going extinct

[atrenabr]

The people in the coment section are going crazy!

Nightwing_1fan: IS THAT RED ROBIN?!

GunsAndRoses4ever: WAT DO YOU MEAN NEW LESSON PLAN!

Oracle is just in the back not saying anything, to anyone, because she knows that Danny won't reveal there ID

After Red Robin is treated and well, Danny just ends the stream and ignore everyone's panic, he sits on his bed with RR and stares in to distance as if reminiscing of the past.

>----------------------------------------------------<

See this particular Vigilante is not uncommon to find in his bed or crashing through his window

The first time it happened Danny was not panicking, but he WAS surprised, it was a normal night, no rogue attacks, no gas atacs, just the normal every day Gotham weirdness

Back then Danny "yes I am retired! stop gaslightin yourself Danny" Phantom got in to the medical cabinet and treated RR wounds with the practice that came from 4 years of hero work and several hours of a big sister nagging you to treat yourself better

Wen Red Robin woke up most would think he would go in fight or flight mode, but he pretended to still be asleep, assessed his advantages points and then he moved, because Danny sad he knew RR was awake, and seeing that he still had his mask he trusted assessed the threat level as low, for the time being

Wen he made the motions to get up and go, Danny looked at him as if he grown a second head, and proceeded to refuse to give hom back his gear, he would not get out in the field until he was COMPLETELY healed, but with a promise that RR would rest he reluctantly let him go back "I should have insisted on seeing another vigilante picking him up"

Danny didn't want the BBB(big bad bat) attention, and with this stunt he thought he was done for, all of his and his parents hard work to hide him from the GIW until the anti ecto acts are removed! So instead of going through the safe option of healing RR and letting him go? He holds his gear in hostage and makes RR promise to not go on patrol for at least a week, then he could have his super fancy gear back

And RR goes along with it, to the BBB Red was in the nest getting some 1⁰ aid, to Alfred and Oracle he was in safe-ish hands, and nothing more (there is no hiding a thing from Oracle, and the stitches couldn't be done by himself)

To Tim's credit he did stay away from patrol, but he had some cases and reports he needed to finish, and some CEO things he had to decide, and in the end slept 5 hours in the spam of that week, so wen he got back to Danny's house, and Danny saw his state of being, well let's say that Danny had his growth spur and is as tall as his Dad, and with his ghost strength, he put the already exhausted RR to sleep

This tipe of situation became a normal for them, wen RR got hurt he would go to Danny(every time he claimed it was closers than the famous BatCave or the nest)

RR ccaught some feelings, and denied his hart of the truth (He gaslighted himself that Danny "I have a BI flag on my wall" Fenton didn't like him because he is a boy) the truth being Danny was completely in love, talk about being the best detective in the world

>----------------------------------------------------<

Red Robin starts to stir, and slowly wakes up

"Hey Danny" throat a little dry

Danny just looks disappointed "don't you 'hi Deanny' me!! Yesterday I told you to stay at the manor or at the nest, and now mister you will stay here, Dady bat's has no control over you, so I have to take this position"

RR pouts

"Oh don't try to look at me with this face! You know that now my stream is going to go viral and unless Oracle does something, and even then, The BBB is going to find everything that we put some effort to hide"

*signs* "Yeee I know, and stop calling B that"

"Wat? Daddy Bats? So wat? He is the Dad of a bunch of birds ho don't listen to him unless it's a life or death situation"

"You may not be wrong, but no-one is going ever admit that"

"Ye Ye, go back to sleep, we can deal with the aftermath of your family wen the time comes pretty bird"

"Come cuddle with me Boo?"

"I should say switch your gear to something more comfy but u are in no condition to move"

The World Contains…

Crack prompt (Inspiered by a screenshot I saw on Pinterest)

Streamer!Danny AU where Danny is giving some form of scientific lesson in a video.

Danny: The world contains protons, neutrons, electrons-

A severely sleep deprived Red Robin crashes through Danny’s window in the background, landing on the floor and immediately passing out.

Danny, looking back to the camera with a deadpan expression: …and morons.

[thekitsunesiren]

I just want madness for the Batpham. Like picture Danny just being a friend of one of the Bats (Tim, Damien, Jason, etc.) and being invited to their house. When he's invited to his house, he was just in time for a meal. And it was a full house, so Danny was able to meet all of the family and was surprised by the amount of black haired and blue eyed people at the table. Dinner goes on and Bruce is the last one to join the family for dinner. (Whether it was because of Bat business or Wayne business is unseen.)

So he sits down and enjoys dinner with his family, talking to everyone and asking how all of their days were.

It wasn't until a few minutes after that he notices an extra head at the table and, seeing as Danny fits the description of his robins, just panics that he might of forgotten about a child. EXTRA: The robins going along with it and gaslighting Bruce into thinking Danny was their brother and Bruce had forgotten about him.

MASTERLIST

You don't try to get up when the door opens, focusing on the pain in your ribs instead to try and quell the sense of uncontrollable panic.

In the beginning, you would rush the door every time it opened, trying to escape. It didn't matter how badly you were injured already; you'd fight your way out and make it through as many of Joker's men as you could. One time you'd even gotten out into the next corridor. It was always only a matter of time though. You were beaten. Every single time.

Now? You were pretty sure he left the door unlocked sometimes. Another test. There was always another test. You did your best to pass them these days. It wasn't worth the consequences if you didn't. You'd learned that the hard way. There was no escaping the consequences.

There's a pause. He's waiting for you to look up. He doesn't need to tell you anymore, his conditioning setting your nerves on edge. Look up.

You meet the bright green eyes of the Joker, and he smiles wide. A chuckle rumbles deep in his chest setting off tremors in yours. You didn't know what he was going to do, but you knew you weren't going to wait long to find out. There was no predicting the mad clown's moves. You'd learned that the hard way too.

A henchmen's clomping footsteps grow louder against the stone floor, only one. Unperturbed, Joker keeps his eyes on you. A reaction then; He wants to see your reaction. It must be something big, or he would just watch the monitor from the camera in the corner of your cell.

You would think after all this time, that surely, he must have elicited every response possible from you by now. But time after time he proved you wrong. Each time worse than the one before.

He moves slightly to allow the goon into the doorway which is when you realise that it’s Big Paulie. He is carrying something. You can only catch a glimpse of it in your peripheral vision at first, unable to be the first to look away - he didn't like it when you did that. A short nod of his approval sends relief shooting through your spine and he glances pointedly to his lackey.

Paulie throws it - a body, you quickly realise - into your cell with a thud. It's been years, but you would recognise the green and red of the unconscious lump anywhere. It's a Robin.

Panic. Panic and fear and anger rip through your mind making you flinch violently. You whimper, recoiling away from the body to push yourself tight against the wall, raw emotion taking over.

The sight of the suit alone made you want to be sick, an unwelcome reminder of everything that had landed you in your current predicament. The nausea boiling over into rage at the thought of the man responsible for ruining your life. Batman.

The fucking Bat had let another Robin get taken, like cannon fodder for his sick and twisted game with the Joker. This poor bastard kid didn't stand a chance.

And the Joker dumping his prize at your feet like it meant something - of course it meant something, everything he did meant something - a test. Another test. Oh God. What was he going to make you do?

Nausea curdled in the pit of your stomach. He had put you through some unspeakable, unimaginable things in the past, but something told you this was going to be the worst ordeal yet. Were you meant to kill him? No, Joker would want to do that for himself. It would probably be a kindness if you did kill him, but did he deserve kindness? He worked with the Bat. He was your replacement. He didn’t deserve shit. But why did he put him in with you? There were other cells, you’d seen them before. Mr J must be expecting something to happen. But what?

Joker began to cackle, no doubt amused by your turmoil. It takes another moment before you can tear your eyes away from the Kevlar. You look up at him and there must be something in your expression that amuses him because he laughs even harder at you. He turns away from you to leave, having had his fill.

"Mr J - Sir?" The honorific slips out. A nervous tick. You hate how pathetic your voice sounds but you needed some kind of hint; a clue or instruction so you knew how to pass this impossible test. Mr J – Sir, why is he here? What do I do?”

Joker doesn't turn back, ignoring your pleading as he walks away. His laughter ringing in your ears as they exit, leaving you alone with an unconscious body and your swirling thoughts.

[mattzerella-sticks]

hi! i’m new to reading dc, because i hear new 52 and rebirth kinda suck, do you have any batfamily recommendations?

Welcome aboard! I’m gonna say something controversial - new 52 and Rebirth aren’t totally bad. Don’t get me wrong, before Flashpoint Batfamily was GOING PLACES. But I think they started strong with Batman in new 52 (like the Court of Owls wer fantastic and Julia Pennyworth is amazing) but then the aftermath of this Batman v. Joker fight during Scott Snyder’s run kinda fizzled the Batman run. And don’t get me STARTED on the bullshit Tom King has done. Not even James Tynion can save the Rebirth Batman title (but that’s because the powers that be probably had a vision that’s most likely been canned given how a lot of the brass was let go). I digress...

For New 52, I highly recommend: Batman (up until the Batman mantle gets passed, which is 50 or so issues in), Grayson (I enjoyed the spy atmosphere, plus the introduction of Helena Bertinelli, Tiger, and Midnighter - officially), Red Hood and the Outlaws (although the early issues and how they treated Kori are iffy), DEFINITELY Batgirl (especially the Gail Simone run and then the Babs Starr run, Batgirl of Burnside ftw) and - I’m including her into the Batfamily - the Harley Quinn series, because that’s good no matter WHAT. Things I’ve heard good things about but haven’t fully in-depth read were We Are Robin and Catwoman, although the former ends kind of unsatisfyingly. And, again, not Batfamily but adjacent - Gotham Academy. I was SO MAD when it ended because it was one of the best comics DC was producing. Oh and there was a Robin series where he has a giant bat!!! That was really good, too. 

Rebirth they really fucked themselves over for the Batfam. Don’t even look at Batman, the first few issues are okay but then it gets muddled in this Bane plot and ‘War of Jokes and Riddles’ which was the WORST Batman storyline ever. Went on too long imo because you kind of forget this is all Bruce telling Selena about his ‘worst sin’ even though she’d be DTF no matter what. Plus there’s so much emphasis on Kite Man (i think even an issue is dedicated to his POV which makes no sense given the context the story’s being told but again Tom King SUCKS). It’ll make you feel like you read a comic book of How I Met Your Mother. Only Batman issues I recommend are the ones that are Flash crossovers because those are my favs for obvi reasons. What you want to do is get into first year of Rebirth Detective Comics because 1) Cassandra Cain 2) Stephanie Brown 3) Kate Kane 4) Clayface!?!?! 5) Tim Drake 6) Dr. Oktober; Honestly it was such a good ensemble piece (James Tynion is an awesome writer, he’s not a miracle worker unfortunately). That was a good run, although it does change plot at a certain point - which was sad - but it still feels like a Batman book even after the ensemble leaves, better than the actual Batman title. So sticking with that over the Batman main series is good. I think Rebirth Outsiders was trying to capture that magic except the writing isn’t that good plus there were a bunch of creative differences that delayed the first issue and I lost any excitement for it (which was sad because I love all the characters in it - Duke, Black Lightning, and Katana). Batgirl, again, although you’ll come to a point where it stops being amazing - and that is when she ditches her Babs Starr costume for something AWFUL. #BringBackBurnsideBatgirl Once you see the costume change either lower your expectations or move on because it doesn’t recover. I’ve heard good things about the Catwoman series but I haven’t read it. What I have read is Harley Quinn (again unofficial Bat family member) and that has been consistently amazing (even if the last few issues gave Harley questional/straightwashed tastes). DEFINITE reads though that shouldn’t be too long (because DC likes ending good things) are Batwoman and Batgirl & the Birds of Prey. The Batwoman comic was too good for this world, we need more Kate Kane in our lives. And the Birds of Prey series felt like the movie a bit. They definitely seemed like friends (unlike the new 52 version, which was AWFUL) and there’s one story where the men of Gotham get sick that is so good I’m waiting on DC to turn it into an animated feature. Those titles are both like twenty or so issues. There’s a Midnigther and Apollo miniseries that was so great (also unofficial member). Red Hood and the Outlaws I liked, but after Roy leaves it lost the magic. Rebirth Nightwing was good at first, but Tom King ruined it even though he doesn’t write for that title. Best storyline was when he gets involved with this group for reformed criminals while in Bludhaven. The most recent storyline wasn’t bad, in a sense. The characters brought on were interesting. It was just apbrupt and clearly not what the actual writer had in mind, but they had to write around Tom King. And overall the character of Nightwing suffered. Young Justice doesn’t feel too canonical (and Drake is a stupid name); Teen Titans is okay but Damian is an edgelord. 

Moving on from that, outside of Rebirth and New 52, some other titles that I’ve enjoyed featuring the Batfamily were: Cassandra Cain’s Batgirl, Stephanie Brown’s Batgirl, Gotham City Sirens, Batman, Inc., Batman & Robin (with Dick as Batman, Damian as Robin), the Outsiders (the spin-off from Titans, probably in the mid-2000s with Dick Grayson leading)...

There was an interesting Detective Comics arc I read about the GCPD starring Renee Montoya that dealt with her ‘coming out’ (in the loosest of terms given how it happened).

A Batman/Superman arc I love revisiting is when they re-introduce Supergirl (and speaking of Batman/Superman, find the issue(s) where Superman gets affected by silver kryptonite and turns into a stoner because THAT was funny)

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention No Man’s Land or Batman Year One because those two kind of establish Gotham and the Batman character... You could read the Killing Joke but you can easily sum the entire story up with one panel (probably one of the first images that pops up when you google The Killing Joke). A better, edgier Batman story - imo - is when he gets addicted to Venom. Or the Death of Jason Todd - which reminds me Under the Red Hood is a good story! (I didn’t read the comic lol but I did watch the movie - Jensen Ackles ftw).

If you’re looking for kooky, anything from the 40s up to before Crisis on Infinite Earths where ANYTHING went. From World’s Finest to the Batman title, they got to some pretty insane shit. Very campy. Although the nineties-early 2000′s were campy in their own way, like so on the other end of the spectrum from ‘camp’ that it became camp again. There’s two different Batman storylines that were VERY anti-drugs (Shadow of the Bat was the running title, I think; one story against weed and the other against LSD) that were so ridiculous and trying to push kids away from doing drugs that you couldn’t help but realize how ridiculous and over-the-top this was.

Finally there are Elseworlds titles. Everyone always raves for Batman: Gotham by Gaslight but I think two very interesting takes on a Batman of a different world are: Batman - Holy Terror, and Batman: Nosferatu. There’s also an Elseworlds with Barbara as Batwoman and a female Joker (Batgirl: Thrillkiller I believe) and one that has Catwoman as the hero of Gotham and Bruce Wayne as a sadistic killer.

Hope at least one of these suggestions helps 😀

[qupids]

 plotting call / character re-intro .    ( because sometimes you go on month long hiatus and emotionally. die.)     +   like  4 a starter.

re-introducing. manon gwynn. professional liar, stealer of hearts, and the basis for tinkerbell from peter pan (1953).

25 / biggest fucking gemini / mutant fairy / 5′10 / magenta eyes & plum hair  big fan of tarot & dancing -- great at blowing bubblegums former x-man turned  white collar thief turned borderline x-men again & also bartender @ karma klub more insecurity complexes than friends; wants to be the best like no one ever was.

kin list: gina linetti. tinkerbell. sailor mars. coolgirl. carmen sandiego. olive from easy a.

tv tropes: 10 minute retirement. /    action fashionista. /    adaptational jerkass. /    allergic to routine. /    beauty, brains, brawn. /    believing their own lies. /    big sister instinct. /  career ending injury. /    cool big sis. /    kid hero all grown up. /    know when to fold them. /    lovable alpha bitch. /    proud beauty. /    secretly selfish. /    silly rabbit, idealism is for kids. /    stealth insulter. /    what you are in the dark. /    will not be a victim.

tl;dr bio: grew up at xaviers / alpha bitch, made everyone like her because she demanded it. much like most x-kids became borderline x-men due to the need to survive. but compared to other students she wasn’t that powerful, and began a habit to lie, compulsively, to make her seem better than she actually was. when she was 18 she was picked for an actual roster // which she was on for 3 years before she had her pixie wings torn from her back.    so embarrassed she lowkey ran away for 4 years,  solo training, developing skills, signing part of her soul away to get her wings back, and also joining a chaotic good robin hood style crime ring. she came back to paragon after their little sibling, aeron, got pregnant, to come be the big sibling and also     wine aunt.

points: lies constantly, has deffinitely been in like 7 ponzy schemes, linked to 27 unsolved crime sprees and murders, always dodging absolutely any question to her, elusive, loves disappearing in crowds whilst making direct eye contact with someone across the way, her coffee order is a half caf cold brew with no fat almond milk and one pump lavender syrup. demi girl, also bi but leaning towards girls. swings both ways, however, violently. with a bat. sets things on fire just for the banter. speaks in fake accents becaus she can.

powers: manon is 3/4 fae, 1/4 mutant and her powers just ... hybrid from both:  - fae physiology ( pointed ears / wings / black and magenta eyes / purple hair ) - lie detection ( the ability to know when someone is lying - ? probably her mutant power. ) - pheromone control ( the ability to produce spores from her wings that alter the moods of those around her.) - illusions & basic magic ( fae power / limited magical ability and also basic illusions enough to disguise herself & slight of hand but nothing as crazy as like . ..  her grandfather, but probably stronger than a standard far because of this. )

 connection ideas. ( some will be made wc. for the wc page i’m just lazy n the wc page is ... . . .  busy. )

- gaslighted: someone who’s a victim to manon’s chronic lying - a toxic friendship in which manon takes advantage of the other :/ please call her out and end it. - girlsquad: those untouchable bitches, the plastics, all very horrible people that are friends by being mean to each other  - toxic romances: current and past. any gender.  - someone who is genuinely just a better person than manon trying to stop her from being such a fucking bitch. - the one relliable bitch/or male version of a bitch, who’s an absolute ride or die but never rides and is probably the most taurus person and manon just crashes on their couch, shows up w/out warning and leaves the next day - could prob lead from an ex relationship. - someone   .. she is soft 2.        the one cowboy she is honest 2. from a childhood friend, someone who saw through one of her lies one day and was like dam . . . i respect u bitch.. - be very cute if a small nb or gay had like an idolisation crush on her tbh  .. . very hot n sexy . . . ..

in conclusion: please give me antagonistic relations & also ones who help her 2 grow thank u
