I have been reading a lot of headcanons of the justice league, my favorites are when batman reveals his identity but only to....Green arrow

It's so fun because imagine if for any reason Batman is forced to reveal his identity and everyone thinks he will choose Superman or/and Wonderwoman (because you know THE trinity, the dream team) BUT NO, he chooses green arrow

at this point the justice league already put aside whatever they were doing and start questioning batman, that is to say without hate towards Ollie but he is not the most secretive, nor the most competent, I mean HE IS NOT EVEN THE CLOSEST TO BATMAN, so yes, even Oliver is wondering why him?

and then without anything else Batman does or says some kind of code, at that moment everyone thinks that he must have already lost his mind when they hear the BIGGEST gasp from none other than Green Arrow, now he is running to hug Batman jumping and holding on like a koala while screaming

"WHY YOU NEVER SAID IT BEFORE SILLY"

"so you understand?"

"OF COURSE I UNDERSTAND IT'S OUR SUPER SECRET SUPER BEST FRIENDS CODE"

That's when J'onn leaves the room because he's not going to deal with the nonsense that these supposed heroes are thinking, the earth is doomed with these fools

Flash is screaming terrified that someone replaced Batman and brainwashed Ollie

Aquaman and Captain Marvel are pretending to know whatever is going on because they totally didn't sleep for half of the meeting

Black Canary's eyes are so wide and she looks like she had an epiphany from something Ollie said

Green Lantern still doesn't get over the fact that Batman is revealing his identity? (of course in such a weird way that only one of them understands, fuck him) but at the end of the day revealing his identity?

Wonder Woman and Superman are having a crisis and they are GREEN with envy, because not only did Batman reveal his identity to Green Arrow of all people, but he is also HUGGING him (also, they are the Bat's best friends, thank you very much)

Then Oliver, oblivious to everything, finishes by saying

"Wait, this means I kissed THE KNIGHT OF GOTHAM, THE BATMAN?, wow B you are killing me"

everyone explodes

totally based on this amazing post

The idea that superheroes would have opinions on which of their epithets they like best is really funny and I want to keep it in mind. Action Comics 635

Dick withstood torture to protect Barbara from Blockbuster.

Dinah pretended to be Oracle to protect Barbara from Blockbuster.

Dick calling her Barbara was used to symbolize emotional intimacy.

Dinah calling her Barbara was used to symbolize emotional intimacy.

Which could mean nothing.

Nobody wanted to see Oliver get back together with Laurel after how he treated her (I still feel Nyssa was a far better choice), and the BC on Smallville got pregnant and they never recast her or brought her back.

Meanwhile, there's a screenwriter still sitting on a script for Green Arrow that doesn't mention BC at all, and neither were on JL. Though that latter one might have been a blessing...

Black Canary with borderless panels 💙🖤😭

it’s not even really fanon tho is what i love the most about this

when they were created they were made to subvert the “long distance weapon expert” girlfriend and “brawler” boyfriend

like ollie is the one who does archery and dinah is the one knocking people’s lights out, the exact opposite of the stereotype during the time when they were created

also,

ollie staying at home cooking while dinah is out working call that the original male wife

Fanonization of the ArrowFam is so funny BC everyone thinks Dinah is Ollie and Ollie is Dinah. Like no, Dinah isn't a therapist type. But I could see Ollie doing that. No, Dinah isn't some house wife. She canonically tells Barbara in birds of prey that she doesn't know how. Ollie cooks.

reactions to Batman coming up to the Watchtower for a JL meeting without his cowl just wearing a domino mask, in order of hilarity:

oh no he’s hot (Clark)

he’s older than I thought he was (Diana)

he’s younger than I thought he was (Hal)

he has hair??? (Barry)

why do I recognize that scar above his left eyebrow? (both Dinah and Ollie, simultaneously)

good lord how is he so hot (still Clark)

In a context where Batman is known and seen through his public League appearances, the misogynistic, homophobic, "alpha male" guys start using his image to illustrate their discourse of going to the gym, and seeking submissive women. They admire and misinterpret his traits as endorsements of their toxic masculinity. Online, they share images of Batman with stuff like "Be the Alpha, Be the Batman". They even use the word Batmen as a synonym to Alpha Male. "Real Batmen don't show weakness".

When Bruce becomes aware of this, he hates it. He despises them for all their messed up views, knowing they completely misunderstand his principles. Batman's true strength lies in his commitment to justice, empathy, and respect for all individuals, values that are fundamentally opposed to the toxic masculinity they promote. Bruce is determined to distance his image from their rhetoric, seeing them as nothing more than sexist and homophobic idiots.

So he decides to be a tiny tiny bit more Brucie when they appear in public. Not in form, but in substance :

When he's asked a question, he tries to go "I have no clue, I'd have to ask Black Canary.", or "I'm not sure, I'd have to see what Wonder Woman thinks about that", or "This time, we really couldn't have done anything, anything at all, without Supergirl."

Also, Batman becomes more visibly affectionate with Superman. During public appearances, if he senses a camera on them, he makes sure to be seen clinging to Superman. He would rather face dating rumors every day than be associated with those idiotic discourses.

(It's also a good premise for a superbat fake-dating fic !!)

Bruce about to reveal his identity to the JL

Bruce: “I’m going to do something that may traumatize two of you. I am not sorry.”

Oliver: “oh come on Batman your identity isn’t that special.”

Bruce going full whiny play boy: “Dinah! Ollie is being mean to me!!!”

Oliver: blue screens

Dinah: “YOU BITCH!?”

Hal it is deeply not your decision what is or is not Dinah's fault and if you try to play protective again she'll knee you in the 'power battery' Action Comics 635

Bruce: Roy, let me ask you something. What was the first thing you did after the battle?

Roy: I called Ollie and Dinah to tell them I was okay.

Bruce: And what was the first thing Jason did?

Roy: He ate a banana.
