duke: we are not that competitive

alfred: *arching an eyebrow* …most of the current rules for games are because of you and master timothy

tim: i don’t think so

alfred: *pulling up a notepad from seemingly nowhere* april of this past year we had to ban first person shooter games until you stopped hacking the game and glitching everyone’s skins

duke: hahaha, yeah damian was pissed he couldn’t change from peter griffin

alfred: don’t think you’re off the hook master duke, as of two months ago you all lost your privileges playing b.s

duke: we are all physically trained to tell when someone is lying, cass was born to do so, suddenly when i figure out a way to get around it, it’s ‘cheating’

tim: YOU WONT TELL US HOW YOU DO IT

duke: and i’m never going to tell

tim: …when we play mario party later i’m going to kick your ass

alfred: *sighing, pulling out a pen* no more mario party-

tim and duke: WHAT NO-

Familar Stranger

DP x DC au with a dash of dimensional travel where Danny, due to his ghostly nature, looks slightly different depending on how others perceive him.��

Warning: OP has no knowledge of space other than Google and is also a non-native English speaker; proceed with caution.

Same startup kits; Danny becomes the successor to the Infinity Realm (he's a baby by both ghost and human standards, so there's a temporary council for now). Anyway, he still has some power over the ghosts, so he asks them to lessen the amount of fighting to focus on schoolwork and "princely education." 

Now here's where my brainrot begins.

The Lazarus Pits, necromantic rituals, or portals of any kind that have "death" or "soul" in them tend to be connected to the Ghost Zone. However, the zone has its own defensive mechanism, so unless someone *Fentons* actively makes a gateway or has "experienced" death, it's nearly impossible to come upon the zone. A certain furry bridage in Gotham has unknowingly ticked all the checkboxes.

During a misson, one of the bats got caught in a magic situation and got transported to the Infinity Realms. They wandered around, dogding ghosts, slowly getting insane from all these damn corridors and living paintings, before they stumbled upon a seemingly random door (CW is involved; he's having a great time testing the poor bat).

Opening the door leads them to the universe. They closed the door, then opened it again. Yep, that's an entire universe complete with its own planetary systems and, oh, so pretty stars growing and dying in a blink of an eye. Another check around shows them that this is the only door so far in the endlessly long hallway. They look down (if there's even a down, for there's only infinity) and take an experimental step. The Milky Way lit up under their feet, with stars gathering around to form a twisting path to nowhere. 

For the next couple of hours, days, or minutes, they made their way through the galaxies. Just when they were about to spiral into a midlife crisis, they heard... humming? 

Did they finally lose it? They asked themselves before noticing a glowing figure sitting on an asteroid nearby.

"Hello?"

The figure flinched, and life paused. The blackhole by their left stopped spinning, the stars weren't twinkling, and the figure turned their head. Now it's their blood that runs cold.

"You're not supposed to be here."

Lazarus-colored orbs stared back at them with a familiar face but an unfamiliar voice. Damian tilted his head, looking at them in confusion (there's something wrong, wrong, wrong-). They blinked because, what the hell, seeing something other than a scowl on the boy's face is WeirdTM. Suddenly, that's a teenaged Jason staring at them, much closer than he(?) was before.

At this point, they realized— eyes moving over the entire regalia and the glowing crown that just appeared—they're probably in deep sh*t.

*a bat having to check on Duke cuz he did not come down to dinner*

Duke: in a makeshift nest on his bed, every light off and window blocked.

He's glowing but the light has a weird pattern to it and is radiating off of him like a Morse code

Batmember: Duke?

Duke: *sits up facing them looking like a sickly victorian child* yea?

Batmember: are-

Duke: *sneezes and the light radiating from him brightens so much like a blinding explosion*

Batmember:

[ headcanon when Duke is deep into a certain mood or is deeply effected by by something he radiates light and depending on the feeling of the mood he's in effects the color of the light and hiw the light presents itself and moves]

[stealingyourbones]

I lay before you this Deer head as an offering and an invitation to watch Hazbin Hotel in case you haven't yet.

Klarion is bored. Very bored.

Klarion is also a Fan of DnD.

Klarion gets a funny (for him) idea.

He puts the Justice League/Young Justice/Teen Titans into a fantasy World where they first have to figure out What they are. In both terms of Race and Class and then how to get out.

Meanwhile Klarion meets a certain Eternal Trio and think "This is gonna be a Riot".

"Where the Fuck are Danny?!"

"How am I supposed to know? I didn't- Is that Martian Manhunter?!"

I thought MM or Megan was gonna be a Changeling and changed into his usual look. Batmember is still just human lol

As someone who’s just recently finished the Bill and Ted Roll the Dice comic run, I’m gnawing on this idea as one would glass

[alittlesongbirdchirps]

I'M A REAL BOY AU IDEA

THAT YOU CAN USE IF YOU SO WISH OR WANNA USE IT FOR INSP

So, what if when Jason died Bruce just broke not just by beating up criminals to near death but to the point he developed another personality not like  Zur-En-Arrh?

Different subconsciously he knew he couldn't do what he was doing as Batman to criminals.

So, it's kind of similar to Fight Club when Tim comes into being.

It explains why he knows who Batman and Robin are, and also why Tim nearly grew up identical to Bruce before his parents died because it's closer to the truth but not too much to be suspicious, that his brain would question it.

thinking of making it more magical in the sense with Zur-En-Arrh made a deal as Batman with Constantine for some magical bullshit. That would make Tim a physical being because Batman can't be viewed as mentally compromised.

But he also needs a Robin and what's more perfect than a Robin that has his intellect.

When Tim encounters Ra Al-Ghoul, he calls him detective because he knows he's not a fool he knows his true ties to Batman that somehow he is Batman, whether magic is involved or not.

Tim knows obviously, and it's also the reason why he knows Bruce is still alive because if he isn't he would disappear, well he can't reveal shit now like he's not even real because damn they will think he's crazier.

Tim and Zur-En-Arrh (sort of Ra's.) are the only two who know not even the other bat members, maybe Alfred suspects Tim might be a result of one of Bruces one one-night stands. But no one could suspect this.

Because Tim is a Robin that never dies, that never grows old he can't outgrow Robin.

I think it might come to light in many different ways, here are some examples.

Like either he ends up fighting Zur-En-Arrh and it's revealed as a tactic to throw batmembers off briefly so he can get the upper hand.

Or maybe at some point after sorting things with Jason and after Bruce was stuck in the time stream, Tim suddenly goes from looking like a very baby-faced 17-year-old to identical to what Bruce looked like at 19-20, because Batman doesn't need a Robin anymore LOL.

Another alternative idea, he could have been shot point-in-blank in front of bat members except for Bruce, cause as long as Bruce doesn't see it, basically means Tim is semi-immortal, or just even gets himself run through a sword and should be dead a bunch of blood but nothing, no stain it's like it never happened.

(Also, no Steph or Cass in the universe btw sorry.)

Side Note Adding This: Tim stands for, Temporary/Task, Intervention, Mission/Management.

[quiivoid]

i love the batfam deaged fics but you cant tell me that none of them recognize that kid unless theyre explicitly told that its that batmember, Bruce probably has a contingency plan that shows photos (if available) of each batmember at each year of their life just in case age reversal ever happened.

Robin gives me magic

You guys voted for the "Robin gives me magic" au here

So here is a quick explanation:

Two things are very important for this, first of all:

Believing in something hard enough can make it real

Second of all, Gotham is an old city that’s drenched in magic and despair and yet hope prevails. 

When Bruce became Batman people knew he was just a man, despite what some might say it was clear he was human, like them.

When Batman took in Robin this got questioned.

People started to believe that there might be something more to them, not much just little things, but it was enough to be on everyone's mind.

When Robin died people prayed. They prayed for the light in the darkness that he was, their hope.

A new Robin took on the mantle and people prayed he would stay safe, that he wouldn’t have his fate cut short, this focused belief and hope ensured that Robin came out of situations more unscathed than he should have been, that he could dodge punches that he shouldn’t have managed.

This of course fueled the idea that maybe there was something more to the bats, that when Batman appeared from the shadows he literally appeared from the shadows

Over time these small changes become more and more, and every Batmember gets affected by this, not that they really notice, because it’s mostly small things with a gradual change.

Like you don’t really notice how much you’ve grown until someone points it out. But this time there isn’t really someone to point it out to them. 

Jason coming back to life is tied in with this magic, not that anyone knows that, not that he knows that himself. 

When he comes back as Red Hood he has an easier time than he should have establishing a Criminal Empire, sure he has skills and experience, but he doesn’t have the trust, or well he shouldn't have the trust, but this was the Robin from Crime Alley of course they trust him, even if they don’t know that, even if it’s the magic at work that makes people believe him when he says he is there to do good and that he won’t hurt kids

Everyone has different ways that the magic plays out with them,though like with every Robin that was, is and will be some basic things are shared among them, while also having things that make them unique to each other

Because in the end they are all different people

THIS ^ This is it oh my god ❤️

Sorry for the mention but thank you @ faeriekit and @ mkarchin713 for the ideas!

It was not a a good time for everyone at first

It starts off slow at first.

A small chill down his back as Red Hood begins his reign over the gangs of Gotham, watching over Crime Alley, controlling the drug trade, and planning his revenge on Batman and the Joker.

That's when it starts.

Slowly getting nightmares to chills constantly to the point that he would go into episodes with the Pit Madness— when he feels watched.

Meanwhile for the dead who haunt him, the Lieutenants: they almost aren't doing well too because—YEAH NO SHIT, they're headless and pretty much not in their right minds (HEHE >:]) almost ALL of them don't remember much of their names, blurred memories, what all new ghosts go through.

But they all share one thing: The Red Hood is their killer, and they want their own pound of flesh.

There's no pure ectoplasm around, nothing to really help them... the strongest they got is Red Hood's corrupted energy, the Pit Madness. Even though they know it's wrong, that there's something wrong with their killer. It just stresses everyone out, they've never seen before The Red Hood killed them.

It just amplifies the bitterness and hate they have towards each other, it makes them feel worse.

So they try to hurt him–to make him feel what it's like to have his head ripped off. Their killer will struggle to sleep. He feels something on his throat, a pressure on his head, the chills become more violent that he trembles.

They try to get him caught when he's on a stealth mission, make him angrier because they know he'll verbally attack or fight a batmember.

It's a bitter arrangement that despite the want for revenge, no one is happy with the situation.

Until one day, watching their killer as he enters an alley; the headless bodies freeze.

Jason for the first time since his return doesn't not feel the chill nor the lonesome pressure as he picks up a tiny bundle crying and whimpering.

The moment Jason checks to see the little baby's face, they are met with baby blue eyes and fluffy black hair, cuddling up to Jason for warmth with whimpers. Jason rocking the little baby before tucking the tiny thing close.

Their killer turns away to take the baby home; baby blue eyes look over their killer's large shoulders. The baby stops whimpering as he looks at them, curiosity in his eyes...

Making Heads Turn 🫨

Jason had become a father to a little baby boy, taking him in when he found the poor thing on the streets, in a cardboard box, wrapped in a space themed blanket.

While the obstacles a new parent goes through is tough. He knows it's worth it to have Danny, his baby, his son in his life. He doesn't regret adopting him.

Danny is now at the stage of his little life that he babbles and giggles, Jason always had fun having a conversation with his baby. Although Jason's sure that his hair is getting whiter with the chaos Danny brings now ever since his baby brain realizes that he can CRAWL to PLACES >:D

However this new development... is a little strange.

Whenever Jason puts Danny down in his crib to make dinner or any other important errand. Danny will begin to babble to the air, as if his little tyke is trying to talk to someone, making grabbing hands and scooching over to grab someone's attention.

Ever since he made his introduction to Gotham as Red Hood, for the first time to those gang leaders with the bang of the AK-47. Taking over the Gotham underworld by storm with anger and precision.

He always felt a chill down his spine... When he was alone, yet... the Pit Madness flared always making him feel enraged and paranoid. As if he was just waiting for a fight... for a confrontation...

Being alone in his apartment, having nightmares, more like repressed memories of what he had done... Lots of things, but for some reason—his mind... keeps going back to the moment he threw that duffel bag at the table infront of the gang leaders that night... the night he went after the lieutenants, taking their heads.

He doesn't know why.

But ever since the precious cargo that was his baby Danny, arrived in his life. That all went away as he took care, fed, and loved his baby boy.

Jason never had an episode with Danny; he couldn't bare the thought of hurting the child.

Jason was even having less episodes when he was with the Bats!

The chills; however, Jason still feels them occasionally... but they would always disappear the moment Danny would demand attention or to nap.

And instead he would feel something else hang over his baby everytime Danny slept peacefully...

———

Second ever DPxDC prompt that I've ALSO been getting brainrot over ❤️ I'm having fun 😄

Basically this prompt idea is Jason adopting a baby Danny, while seemingly unaware that he's being haunted/watched by the people's he's killed to become a crime lord. More specifically, being haunted by the heads/headless ghosts of the lieutenants Jason killed as Red Hood.

While Jason can't seem to see them, he can feel 'chills' from them. Danny, however, CAN see them mostly because I based this on that thing where babies/toddlers can see spirits in those typical YouTube videos that list ToP 5 ScArY gHOstZ VidEOz!1!1

Whatever happened though, this causes the ghosts to instead focus more on Danny than on Jason.

How much will Jason freak the fuck out when he finds out? Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Although Danny is absolutely having fun here ^^

Anyways, I might add extra stuff soon to this!

[ahfrickenfrick]

how many times have any of the batmembers had to come up to leslie and been like ‘hey got into a fight with a bat from the cave’

and she sighs and ask which family member only to realize they lost against a literal bat and need 12 different shots

[numberonedukethomasapologist]

Duke Thomas but he's literally just a glowing orb of light sometimes

Like instead of turning invisible bro just collapses onto a gold orb

Batmember: i wonder where Duke went?

Suspiciously Duke coded orb: ✨️

Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016) #15

[unlikelycupcaketrash]

I though he was gonna go straight to the bat cave and prank em for a few weeks but that’s perfect he would probably do that actually

Danny’s adhd ass info dumping about ghosts and ghost biology and culture while mentioning his fistfights with gods, not finishing 7 different side tangents, going on about how one thing perfectly lines up with how the joker’s a ghost (it really, really doesn’t) and generally just:

And commissioner Gordon takes one look at the black haired kid with the audacity to summon Batman just to info dump at him, takes a sip of coffee, turns around, and walks back inside. Hopefully the rest of the bat legón likes him.

Batmembers on comms though? They’re probably going to try to prolong this quippy, never-slept-a-day-in-his-life kid from meeting tim or dick for as long as possible. God knows the cave doesn’t need more workaholics or puns.

Also Danny says holy shit balls, Batman! Unironically.

The Joker is Dead (and always has been)

Danny is attending Gotham U and gets caught up in a Joker escapade and realizes the clown is, in fact, a ghost.

Suddenly everything makes an insane amount of sense: the fact that no one has killed a psycho with seemingly human-normal abilities yet, that Arkham can’t keep him for more than a week, the obsessive behavior, the appearance.

Honestly, Danny should have clocked this before he even met the spook.

And Danny doesn’t want to step on any toes, really. The Bat and the Joker have A Thing going on. But, the Batman just isn’t equipped to really put a ghost away. No wonder there’s a breakout from Arkham every couple of months. How many other Gotham rogues are obsessive ghosts haunting the city?

Joker doesn’t display any of the usual ghost powers he associates with his own “rogues”—who’ve really become more like unwanted relatives over the years what with their dropping in uninvited, making a mess, and then ditching before they had to help clean.

It strikes Danny, as he’s being tied up by the clown-costumed goons, that maybe the Joker doesn’t know.

Huh.

How does he broach the topic in a sensitive way?

“Hey, uh. Not to be rude but… You know you’re dead, right?”

Danny winces. Not like that, probably.

The Clown Prince of Crime stops in front of him, the crazed light in his eyes dimmed slightly by confusion. He glances back and forth between Danny and the students around him who are shying away from their insane classmate. (Which is. Fair.)

A menacing giggle warbles from the specter’s throat. He leans into Danny’s bubble, that eerie grin stretching somehow wider.

“Ohhhh really?” The clown draws it out and Danny can hear the crackle of static in the high notes. Honestly. How did no one figure this out before? “And are you gonna kill me, hmm? Have I got a widdle hero in my bait tank?”

“No, no, I mean, it’s not… you’re not… like? You’re not alive,” Danny rambles, trying to clarify and failing utterly. “You’re already dead.”

The Joker tilts his head, eyes dilating and glowing toxic green. He considers what Danny said, then throws his head back and cackles like a hyena.

The ghost doubles over, even, laughing so hard it sounds like he’s gonna bust something. He puts a white-gloved hand on Danny’s shoulder for support and squeezes, just shy of hurting.

After an uncomfortably long moment, the ghost wipes imaginary tears out of his eyes and pats Danny on the back so hard he stumbles and falls to his knee.

“You’re a riot, kid! If I didn’t have a date already planned…”

He trails off and ambles away, still chuckling and muttering to himself. “And they say I’m crazy! Wait til Bats hears about this!”

Danny watches him go, despondent.

It’s always harder when they don’t know.

This is gonna be a mess.

[whalehouse1]

Do you think Dick has taken the four batgrandkids to his childhood circus and introduced them to everyone? Do you think he calls the older performers the kids’ aunts and uncles and the younger ones their cousins? Or would it be too traumatic for him? I would hope not but batmembers live for being traumatized anymore. If he wouldn’t do it due to drama would Kori, Bruce, Jason or Tim? Any of the others? I only say those guys because of 1) Kori would be married or at least with him to have Mar'i and Jake and the other three are closer to his connection to the circus. Would Donna, Wally or Roy? Garth wouldn’t be able to, but I’m curious about this. It’d just be a nice, wholesome chapter.

[regonold]

Ok i love this imagine disarming someone and doing a whole monologue only for them to whip out a pocket knife

You mock them cuse whats a pocket knife gonna do and they unflinchingly without hesitation stab it full on in their hand

And your thrown of cuse what the fuck anyone would be thrown off after seeing whats probly a new batmember stab clean through his hand

And then just because he's extra the blood doesn't drip it slowly rises and swirls coalescing in a frickn sword

In writing this i have come to a conclusion

Danny is a fucked up green lantern

Think about it by his will alone he can transform the very air into anything (if you try hard enough anything is a Wepon kids)

And if that don't work he stabs himself to make wepons out of his consented will

I've been having a brian rot on a potential ability of Danny's I call it ecto-weapon.

Basically Danny takes ectoplasm out of the air and can mold it into any weapon of his choosing

Comedically enough, in it's true form when he summons it to his side before molding it , it takes the shape of a syth.

Which is REALLY annoying because when he trains with it in the batcave bruce, Jason and Damian are the only ones who take him seriously (of varying degrees)

HE CAN MAKE A GUN

It's just a whole lot harder because he has to focus on making the bullets as well, It also depends on his target. If they are human he has to focus on making the bullets non-lethal

ANOTHER THING

If he can't pull enough ectoplasm out of the air He can and will cut himself to use his own blood In fact he carries around a ghost-themed pocket knife that Sam found at a Spencer's and gave him to just shank himself with if he needs to and it horrifies everyone around him every time. (He enjoys the horror on their faces 😀)
