Bats on the road
Clark: Bruce that's illegal!
Bruce: there's no one else on the road, what do you want?
Hal: how is it that he doesn't have powers and yet drive like a suicidal maniac!
Oliver: Well bold of you to assume he's not a suicidal maniac.
Diana: that was reassuring.
Donna: oh for the love of gods, Grayson, stop that!
Dick *sprawled over 3 different titans eating the batburger and making a mess*: stop what?
Titans: Ughhhh...
Dinah: i'm gonna puke. If you don't stop this,i'm gonna puke right on your lap and i won't even apologise because it'll be your fault.
Barbara:
Barbara: you know what? Fuck you too. And i can puke on call, so don't think i won't get back.
Barbara: *speeds up on a switchback*
Jason: you stupid bitch, don't you see we have right of way?!?!

Jason: we're on a fucking highway! Stop driving like you're next to a kindergarden, you fucker!

Jason: what a dick! We should just hit him. This baby can take that!
Artemis: SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Ghost Train
It was no secret that the trains in Gotham were damaged, whether it was from all the explosions that flooded the city on a daily basis or the fact that the rails were broken wasn't completely clear. At that point, what was once a train station was nothing more than an empty place used by some homeless people to sleep.
Or that's what it was supposed to be, because while the station was damaged and underneath the city, it was actually active. It just had another kind of train, a slightly more interesting one.
In Danny's defense, he was extremely bored and there was an abandoned train station he could use to play with. All it took was calling in a favor from Technus and a fully functional ghost train connected the Infinite Realms to Gotham.
The ghosts, of course, used this for fun. Fighting each other, chasing each other, celebrating, having concerts. It was a way to go to the human world without anyone causing trouble for them, not that anyone was paying attention anyway.
Or at least, no one was supposed to be paying attention, because Waylon was dumbfounded at the sight. He had escaped to the old rails when he had no other choice, his sewers were compromised and he needed a way out. He didn't expect to walk right into a party, or be offered a sandwich with a smile instead of a shout.
He could also observe a clearly glowing train and the fact that everyone there was glowing. They could be metas, or another completely new creature, but Waylon didn't care, they gave him food and he wasn't a snitch.

Self-fulfilling Prophecy by chaosphere ( @the-name-of-the-rose )
“Why did you do it, Jason? Why did you pretend to kill him—why didn’t you fight me back?”
“Fuck you, Bruce! Are you seriously trying to blame me for beating me to death?”
Roy isn't close to come to Jason’s rescue, and by the time Batman stops beating Red Hood for shooting Cobblepot, it’s too late.
Batman kills Red Hood, and a month later, Bruce Wayne starts to hallucinate and see Jason Todd everywhere.That’s how the end starts. Ongoing, 8k words.
*** ** * ** ***
Chap 4:
Jason gestured at the plank. “Are you goddamn insane? Alfred is right! You can’t let one bad night destroy you—destroy Batman. You’ve been beating guys harder now—who fucking cares?”
“You were telling me to be careful—”
“Because I didn’t know that would make you give up. You can control yourself, Bruce. What you did to me won’t happen again.”
Neither of them said anything for some time.
“And sure, I screwed up a lot, but I wasn’t worse than many of the people you beat up.” He looked away for a second, and then turned to Bruce again, his eyes wide, almost shining, “or do you think that of me? Do you think I’m like those—those people who murder for fun and giggles, who rape or who fucking act like other people are things, property?”
“No!” For all their fundamental disagreements, Bruce had never thought that of Jason. He knew Jason was dangerous, that he’d had a hand in honing that danger, but he also knew that his son was never cruel.
“Then what was so wrong with me that I’m the one you killed? The only one.”
Bruce didn’t have an answer for that, and neither did he want to follow that line of questioning.
After that, Jason disappeared for a few days.

6/2/24.
I'm guessing Black Country, New Road and Dry Cleaning have listened to their fair share of Porridge Radio (Brighton, England) over the years. There's an intensity and song structure that recalls the fine work of both bands.
But this is way poppier than BCNR or Dry Cleaning. In fact, to me it sounds like The Bats crossed with either of those bands. But before I get too far out over my skis - "Rice, Pasta And Other Fillers" is the only Porridge Radio I've heard.
This album was originally released by Memorials of Distinction back in 2016. They've since repressed the LP and it's still available on Bandcamp.

Bats on the road 2
Cass: mamma mia, here we go again, my my~
Whoever's riding with her: *scared shitless, because she do not care about the law, and anytime she sees someone on the road or even close to it, she'll brake so rapid the car is going to flip*
Steph: oh my god, Tim, you're sooooo boring. Put on some music! Speed up!
But also:
Steph: shut the fuck up! Don't tell me what to do! You literally doesn't have a license, Tim!
Duke: yeah, no. I actually could make a license, I'm old enough now, but I was driving without it already for like 3 years. It's not like police could even catch me if they tried.
Duke don't know what the road signs means. He knows the stop sign and like three others. The rest he interprets as he rides.
Damian: *can't reach the pedals*
Alfred *driving perfectly*: oh yeah. I taught Master Bruce how to drive. If he's Batman, he needs to be fast.
They don't know he's got a loooong criminal record back in UK
