#cass and duke just vibing in the background

[sarahreadstoomanycomics]

Okay this panel is really fun.

[brucewaynehater101]

Fake Uncle is brilliant! Love it!

Bruce: so the uncle was real?

Tim: yup

Bruce: but he's an evil uncle???

Tim: yup

Bruce: why did you never tell me??

Tim *blinks: it never came up. Duh.

Well, for the Drakes. I was thinking they'd be aliens as well. But even within their culture they were aloof. Like maybe as strategists but not someone with a family circle. They had no clue what to do with a child. But, their king handed them a baby with his final breath. Earth looked safe, so that's where they went.

I'm sure they were baffled by earth human customs. I imagine raising children is different on earth. They were, however, good at negotiations, so they worked their way up the social ladder, hoping to give Tim a better life (not quite princely, but close).

I really like the idea about them searching for artifacts to teach Tim about their home!!! Good idea!! I'll have to use that!

The Drakes tried, but I think they mostly threw money at Tim. New bike? Sure. Want to learn Mandarin? Why not? Want a new nanny cause the last one was rude? Of course, your highness! Immediately!

New nannies happened all the time because timbo was a brat and fired them for petty stuff as a little kid.

Kori would be a fun add-on! Maybe she offers Tim slightly wrong advice culturally.

K: -and do this! It's very important!

T: does it.

Staff: Noooooo! This is WRONG!

T and K: confused.

Tim was trained that he was a prince, but he also was taught that it was very, very unlikely that he would take the throne. (The Drakes died later)

EXACTLY! That's along the lines I was thinking, but I'm not super great at making up funny traditions yet. Lol.

You are CORRECT about Tim "not being able to change rules" and "unstable position". It makes sense for the AU.

Ridiculous subjects are in the plan!

Subject: I have brought you this gift Your Highness. *bows with jar of slime.

Tim*is concerned: it's moving?!

Subject *shocked: Of course, Highness! I would only bring you alive Grummk!

Tim: .....ok....thank you?

Damian would be fascinated and JEALOUS me thinks.

I am so vibing with the Drakes trying their best and being so clueless as well. I'd love to see a scene or two of Janet and Jack just arguing with each other as toddler Tim causes chaos in the background.

Janet: "Is he climbing the tree in the backyard?"

Jack: "Yeah. I saw an article about human kids and trees or something."

Janet: "Is he climbing the tree that the gardener sectioned off for safety?"

Jack: "Yes?"

Janet: ".... I'm sure it'll be fine."

Tim ended up with a broken arm.

I liked the court scene you had! Stuff like that would be hilarious to read ^^

Are there any differences between Tim/the Drakes and humans? It would be funny if it's something small, especially that all humans have (like the ability to taste cinnamon or something). Just traits that Tim is able to get away with by leaning into his "I was neglected by my 'parents' and thus have no clue how to do normal human things like the human I totally am." Any physical traits (like a blue birthmark) could be cool as well.

Tim, if you wanted, could also bond with Kara and Clark about being an alien raised on Earth.

I think Damian could become an advisor for Tim. That would be kind of cute to see. They could also bond about being heirs of empires that they thought they would never actually inherit.

Dick could charm/be a court performer if he wanted to do that. Alfred would definitely get his hands on the kitchen staff to ensure Tim is properly being fed. Barbara would beef up Tim's security.

Cass would probably play pranks on Tim's "army" while Steph gathered blackmail on the planet's high society (and pull pranks on the ones that pissed her off).

I don't know enough about Helena Bertinelli, but maybe she would treat it as a fun vacation to intimidate rich people?

Duke might be interested in learning more about Tim's home world and what it's like to space travel. He would also be the one to accidentally set half the castle on fire.

I don't know if you'd like your AU to have all the Bats, but there's some stuff they could do.

[kens-ramblings]

okay so for background i work in first responder land, not as a first responder but my job deals with them on a regular basis. so basically here is my opinion on what kinda of first responder each of the batfam would be with little to no explanation :D

Alfred- maybe retired EMS? i know he does medical stuff with the bats so it just makes sense to me

Bruce- he’s a cop. idk what else to say he’s just such a cop and you can take that however you’d like🤨😐

Dick- 911 operator. i think he canonically was one at some point(please correct me if im wrong tho i am very slowly getting through comics) and its also one of the ones that just makes sense to me. like he wants to help but he does not want to do it on the same way B does and has always been good with people. so i feel like he’d probably enjoy it

Jason- maybe this is controversial but i’d say firefighter. like yes he died due to smoke inhalation but i also feel like he’d want to work through that trauma(bc bats can’t just go to therapy like normal people nooooo) by helping others to yk,,, not die in fires?? also it’s just another one of the ones idk how else to explain it the vibes are just there yk

Tim- I think he’d work in emergency management somewhere. like yes they are not exactly first responders and his character is a front lines guy, but we’ve also seen that he is a PLANNER. emergency management’s whole job is planning for what to do when things go to shit. plus they still go on scene as needed so he wouldn’t have to deal with JUST being a guy in a chair

Babs- i originally wasn’t gonna do her because i don’t really know her character all that well. but,,,, as i was writing tim’s i was like “oh this is also probably babs a bit ecspecially after her accident. like she was probably some sort of first responder,,, maybe cop to follow in her dads footsteps?? but also maybe not? like i said not exactly one of the characters know best,,,, but anyways after no longer being able to help on the front lines she joins gothams emergency management agency because they also help coordinate when big things happen so it makes sense to me

steph- another one i’m not super sure i know her characterization all that well outside of fandom, but im giving it my best go. i feel like she went into EMS. she spent some time with leslie and in a lot of normal capes aus i’ve read it seems like she’s always a med student so it makes sense to me

Cass- i’m actually kinda stumped on her. like realistically she could do any of the jobs she wanted because yk she’s highly skilled in damn near everything. like idk i just can’t picture her as anything other than kick ass vigilante. but if i had to choose,,,, maybe 911 operator, she could help with other languages and dispatchers really run this shit from the shadows. so final answer dispatcher i guess? but i feel like it is kinda a waste of her fighting talents but yk it is what it is

duke- he is another one i’m not 1000% on characterization, i don’t think he’s been in any of the comics i’ve read other than wayne family adventures. but anyways, my gut instinct was cop, but like in the way that he’s trying to change the system from the inside out. but then actually the whole gang thing came to mind and duke is def an ACAB kinda guy. like couldn’t stand to wear the uniform probs, so im actually gonna go with fire fighter. i also can’t really explain this one it’s just what my heart says.

Dami- he’s another one i think is a cop, but he is because he wants to be like Bruce. he starts out doing basically whatever B says but he eventually finds his own way. honestly i feel like after a stint he quits and joins like an EMS service for animals(i actually do not know if that’s a thing, but it is now) bc i think he would genuinely enjoy that and still feel like he’s helping yk?

Giving the Batfam Chappell Roan Songs

₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿︵‿︵ ˚₊

Jason - Pink Pony Club Honestly I think Jason would be a huge Chappell fan, he'd here one of her older songs early on & not really pay attention until Pink Pony Club drops & her whole style changes, then he'd be completely about her everything. PPC is his fave b/c of the sense of community it fosters, along with the fact he heard it in a gay clib surrounded by others & has never felt so joyous. California is a close second fav though.

Steph - Naked in Manhattan Have you ever heard a more Steph like song? Probably but Naked in Manhattan feels like she's happy & it's been a minute since. She was probably introduced to Chappell through Picture You in a depressive playlist & went through all the sad songs before landing on this bop & just never turning back.

Tim - Guilty Pleasure Tim was definitely introduced to Chappell through Steph & she only ever brought him her fun songs & Guilty Pleasure just really struck a cord with him. He'll be screaming it in the car or his boat house dancing with Bernard.

Dick - Kaleidoscope Okay imagine Dick, just broken up with Kori feeling like absolute shit, but knowing they both need this break. Going on spotify looking for some happy songs & gets to Chappell. Unfortunately he's not aware of her sad songs like so many other unfortunate unprepared souls. Now Kaleidoscope is one of those songs that you give a nostalgic cry to but for some reason it still makes you smile.

₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿︵‿︵ ˚₊

Cass - HOT TO GO! Cass like Tim was introduce to Chappell through Steph, & was immediately charmed by HOT TO GO! The cheerleader vibe is her absolute favorite with her second favorite being Red Wine Supernova. She's not a super-fan but she keeps an eye out if Chappell releases any songs like it.

Damian - Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl Unironically Damian fucking loves the begging of Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl, he found Chappell pretty early on when looking for edit music [I will die on the hill that Damian makes anime edits in his spare time]. He quickly introduced her to Nika, & now the two of them are insufferable about Chappell ["hello have you heard of our lord & savior Chappell Roan?"].

Duke - After Midnight Duke is a huge music nerd & while hanging out with Riko & Dax [also two music buffs] they stumbled across Chappell in the background of Olivia Rodrigo's song. And neither of them have looked back, she is one of consistent additions to his pop playlist now with After Midnight as his fave mainly because it was his first & the funnest to him.

Babs - My Kink is Karma Similar to Dick & Steph, Babs really got into Chappell during a depressive funk, Steph & Cass had already made her aware of Chappell. She loves to sing her heart out to My Kink is Karma, and honestly tears up a little bit sometimes. Casual is her second fave & is always playing the back ground in the Clock Tower.

Kate - Casual Kate didn't have a favorite Chappell song, in fact she didn't even really know Chappell besides the whole rising lesbian artist in the back of her head. She ended up going to a concert with Renee & Casual clicked with her souls so quick. Memories of when she was more drifting than living, when she was the siren in someone else's story. It's her favorite song in the sad sort of ironic way.

Bruce - Subway Bruce ended up chaperoning a trip to see Chappell in the Boston Globe & he damn near started sobbing during Subway. It struck a cord with younger him, just having left Talia, making his way back to Gotham & feeling haunted by the years he spent so far away only to comeback to the place of his birth & sou-do death at 8. California is his second favorite song

ps: sorry to all the people I just tagged in this goofy fandom post, hope ya'll don't mind

[ijustthinkhesneat]

Ha nerds I rise again like mold from an apple! But this time I will be truly unhinged, I’ve embraced chaos and am ready to give it to everyone by mashing together my three brain rotting hyperfixations!

Today I will illuminate the hat ffxiv Job the Batfamily have as well as what Magnus Archives Entity they would be aligned with me! No one wants this, no one needs this, but everyone will suffer with me!

Bruce: Dark Knight, come on this man is too edgy and sad to not be the spooky shadow tank, but also he’s truly driven to protect his family and will use anything at his disposal to keep them safe. Like wise I think Bruce would be aligned with the Lonely. Bruce seems to so desperately want to foster a close and loving relationship with so many people but many times can’t help but push them away and wallow in his self inflicted solitude.

Dick: This was hard but ultimately I settled on Dancer, put the pitchforks down! Dancer is a flexible and spritely class that supports its Allies and helps them to rise up to their true potential, similarly Dick’s true strength shines when he is supporting and guiding his friends and loved ones through difficult situations. I think Dick would be associated with the Stranger. Aside from Dicks background as a circus kid and flexibility that borders of contortionist horror, Dick struggles with his mailable sense of self and even a bit of imposter syndrome, this is expanded by him spending half his life behind a literal mask.

Jason: Reaper, this bitch is dramatic as hell and everyone loves him for it. I think Jason’s closeness with death, and the fact he’s way more chill about cutting a bitch, makes reaper feel like a good fit, additionally jason can get a serious power boost from the Lazarus pit at the cost of his self control, similar to the reaper class. Again staying on theme Jason would obviously be associated with the End. He’s died and come back to life and has had an unstable grasp on reality and mortality ever since.

Tim: Machinist, boy loves his gadgets what else is there to say. Tim to me gives big Spiral vibes, this boy is a sleep deprived little liar. I mean seriously he can lie to Batman on 49 hrs of no sleep and no one suspects a thing. Also again with that imposter syndrome except instead of feeling like he isn’t who he is he feels like he’s tricked everyone into thinking he’s better than he is and is just waiting for the shoe to drop. Little does he know everyone loves him!

Damian: Samurai, nothing else to say it is what it is. I think Damian fits really well with the Slaughter, he is prone to acts of violence by very little and while I think deep down he wants to be less bristled to his brothers he struggles a lot with overcoming what he’s been taught.

Duke: This one is hard for me but I ultimately settled on Astrologian. I think it works with Dukes ability to manipulate light and even glimpse the future a little so the space fortune teller class seemed to fit. I feel like it is so hard to fit a fear with Duke sense the fandom interpretation of him is that he is the most hinged, not true by the way, but he just hasn’t been as deeply explored when it comes to trauma. I think Duke is also a bit of the odd one out, he works with light and operates in the day, he has powers, etc. For this reason I think Duke should be aligned with the Web. I don’t think it’s necessarily because he is perceived as normal but it is also that. Duke comes across as the most open and normal of the batfam but he’s arguably the least conventionally normal, he just passes the best, I also think dukes future sight could be connected with the webs complex plans and long term foresight.

Cass: Ninja, obviously. I think Cass fits with the Dark really well, not just because she’s quiet and spooky but also because she was raised in cult environment! Cass is more in tune with stealth and darkness than even Bruce and she has dedicated herself to not just navigating darkness but weaponizing it.

Alternatives:

Dick: The Spiral, Web or Vast. Dick has a complex relationship with long falls and also has experienced mind control and amnesia the most viciously out of many of the batfam.

Bruce: The Dark and the Hunt. Bruce struggles with not letting his person as Batman consume him, giving up everything for the mission, his kids are honestly what keeps him from crossing that line.

Jason: The Corruption, Slaughter and Flesh: Feeling like the Lazarus Pit has changed him so fundamentally that he isn’t who he was before also the murder. Also the Buried but we don’t talk about that.

Tim: The Eye, Slaughter and Lonely. Tim has HUGE Jonathan Archivist Sims vibes he also maybe likes killing people a little to much, also sad boi.

Damian: The Hunt and The End. He’s died before and it’s kinda the same thing as Bruce where he really refers on the edge of going full serial killer.

Cass: The stranger. Spooky dancing lady go brrrrrrrr.

Duke: The stranger and the vast: Fuke standing out so much from his family gives big stranger vibes bb. Also he can fly so he’s the vast automatically.

[evilwickedme]

What ships do you like with all the Bats?

All of the bats???? Damn

So starting with Bruce, my fav ship for him is probably batcat. I just think they're cute and she's a great character. But superbat and superwonderbat do have their appeal - again I'll say my main problem with this is I literally cannot picture a Clark who isn't in love with Lois, but polyamory fixes this for the most part in theory. In practice anytime I've read anything superbat either Clark has been gay or clois aren't together for some reason and it always low-key throws me off

As for Dick there aren't many people I don't ship him with it honestly? Certainly I can work with any ship that's even sort of mainstream. So birdflash, dickbabs, dickory, dickroy, etc. As long as it's not incest or Slade Wilson, I could conceivably go for it

For Jason I'm basically strictly JayRoy and joyfire, with the occasional jaytemis thrown in there. Idk I don't vibe with most of his canon love interests

Tim's a canon bicycle honestly but uh timkon obviously, timber, timsteph, timberkon, timpulse, timbartkon, core four as a ship, I can and have vibed with all of them in fic

We've already covered timsteph but obviously I also like stephcass!! Beyond that I honestly don't know enough about Cass or Steph to ship them with anybody else tho. I know Cass has gone on a couple of dates with Kon and that's a no from me but beyond that I have nothing. If they have insane chemistry with other characters please send the relevant panels my way!

Damian's still a bby for real he's 14 but damijon is literally so obvious and it helps that poisonivory has written some really good fic for them

Again I don't know enough about Duke's supporting cast to ship him with anyone, let me know if there's anyone notable

Kate deserves better than dating a cop but I have no opinion on her girlfriends beyond that

Like I said I like dickbabs just fine but dinahbabs seems like a great ship, I've only seen them in the background of backgrounds of fics but I should look into them more

Idk anything about the Rows or the Foxes or Terry

Did I miss any of the Bats? I feel like that was literally everyone but this family is so big

Oh actually, as a bonus: Thomas Wayne/Martha Wayne/Alfred Pennyworth throuple, thank you and good night

[solipop]

My time to mix fixations!

Batfam as musicals:

Bruce - his taste would be like that God awful production of American psycho/Les miserables and no in between, gets caught enjoying Finding neverland and everyone makes fun of him

Dick - Water for elephants (silver stars specially it's very early Nightwing coded) but for a more mainstream one he'd say Greatest showman or something, I hc he complains of the movie's lack of accuracy portraying the circus

Jason - I have this bias that he would watch The outsiders musical exactly once and then colapse! But also given his character was introduced in the 80s prime musical era he was an avid fan of Little shop of horrors back in his Robin days, many fics draw parallels of his background to some characters and songs! (I also see him arguing about how Tony's are rigged if any of the batsiblings so much as tried to enjoy dear Evan Hansen because literature nerd + musical nerd makes for a Great comet fan)

Tim - he's a The lightning thief kid through and through, the ansty comedy of the show is just like his best Robin comics Fr, he's the type of guy to know what Bad Cinderella is only to fake he likes it to enrage theater fans (Jason)

Damian - either he enjoys some movie soundtracks and albums (Joe Hisaishi works or things like Where the sky ends) and a couple shows (Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hadestown) or does not like musicals at all because his disbelief is never suspended enough to like them over regular theater (current Damian runs would I cline me to say in the heights but idk)

Steph - Amelie and Mamma Mia, vibes with some heart wrenching lyrics in between. Also things like 36 questions or Next to normal

Cass - The ATLA musical and Anastasia, I think she'd enjoy some of the EPIC demos too but is more of an instrumental type of girl, she has the vibe to study musical books to search for a piece for a dance routine

Duke - Newsies enjoyer, (maybe he'd like more niche stuff like the Good omens or Frog and toad musicals and it catches everyone (Jason) by surprise), WFA Duke looks like he enjoys the West end's &Juliet in the best way possible

Alfred - golden🗣️age🗣️musicals🗣️ don't tell me this man doesn't enjoy Singin' in the rain, someone had to introduce the family's theater kid to musicals and one of my favorite headcanons is Alfred took Jason to musicals because they were more child friendly than full on plays (butler logic doesn't consider movies)

What musical would be wach batfam member

(OR what musical embodys the batfam as a whole)

*reblog or comment🌼*

[abyssal-ali]

Batfamily as Swifties: Headcanons

Jason is a huge Swiftie-- he loves the lyricism; it really appeals to his classic lit snob side. He especially vibes with Reputation era (LWYMMD anyone??)

His voice-mail is 100% "I'm sorry, the old Jason can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, 'cause he's dead."

(Bruce hates it but everyone else thinks it's funny)

Dick and Steph are Swifties thru and thru and proud of it.

The rest of the family are swifties too but in the closet and make fun of Dick and Steph for their obsession.

...Until one day they find Jason vibing to I Did Something Bad in his safe house, singing at the top of his lungs as he cooks.

He swears them to secrecy.

One day during a road trip Dick and Steph have control of the aux (Steph won a bet) and they only play Taylor Swift.

Bruce breaks first and belts out Love Story

Jason laughs at him

Until No Body, No Crime plays. He has it completely memorized.

Duke joined the Swiftie squad when he joined the family.

Damian was caught secretly grooving to I'm Only Me When I'm With You while he painted.

Cass just loves music and sings along to anything, but one of her favorite songs to freestyle ballet to is Enchanted.

Babs is a BLINK but a secret Swiftie. She is caught when she's helping with a case. Babs instantly recognizes the background audio.

"Hey, isn't that mad woman?"

Tim:...how do you know that?

Babs: ...I heard Dick play it??

Tim: You recognized it that fast?

He's skeptical but glad someone else said it before HE did. He's teased enough about his ___ obsession as it is.

Tim is outed by Jason, who unplugs his headphones when he falls asleep, trying to pull a prank. What happens is better than Jason hoped. Tim's phone connects to the Batcave bluetooth speakers. Red blares, startling Tim awake and he falls off his chair.

He tries to cover it up by saying it's for a case. Jason uses his superior height and weight to scroll thru Tim's music files while Tim tries to retrieve his phone. The largest folder is labeled "rachmanoff" so the family wont be suspicious but it's every single Taylor Swift song (Taylor's Version) in existence. His attempt at getting out of teasing is unsuccessful.

Now they all blast their favorite songs throughout the manor...luckily Alfred likes her music too!

#BatsInQuarantine

I am going insane. So I poured my restlessness into one long and very detailed post and got super into it. Please enjoy this hot mess.

The Justice League, being the well-meaning virus-proof Super Friends that they are, took one good look at the news, one good look at their non-powered friends Ollie, Bruce, and their families, and collectively decided that these normal humans must be Protected At All Costs.

Now, keep in mind, Bruce is never one to roll over when it comes to being benched. 

However, he understands the importance of social distancing. He knows he needs to set a good example for his kids, and keep up appearances as Gotham’s Most Responsible Multi-Billionaire. 

So. Quarantine it is. 

But how are his kids handling it?

Dick - 

100% on board in the beginning. Gotta do the Responsible Thing. Gotta set a Good Example. Besides, guys, this is gonna be Fun. Quality Family Time is always a Must.

He lasted 2 days. 

Then he started to get twitchy. 

And as everyone knows? A Trapped Dick Grayson is a Feral Dick Grayson.

He bounces off the walls.

Literally.

“I have to climb.” 

“Dick, no.”  

“I have to climb everything.”

Has scaled the manor 16 times already. Has climbed the chandelier. The banister. Bruce. The roof. The Cave. Anything in the house that’s been bolted down and especially anything that hasn’t. 

Duke found him clinging to the wall 10 ft off the ground like Spiderman and screamed so loud it shattered glass. 

Desperate for news of the outside. 

He thrives off of it like a starving man. 

Was the one to suggest he and Barbara take a break to Social Distance from each other (”Sorry, babe, kissing spreads germs”) and experienced Instant Regret(TM) approximately 5 minutes after. 

The Family has labelled him a Flight Risk Level 1 (Most likely to say f**k it and make a break for the outside world)

Jason - 

Accidentally got trapped inside the manor with the others when Bruce called Shutdown. If he had his way, he’d be chilling in his favorite safe-house right now, binging The Witcher with Roy and Artemis, and not worrying about finding a stray brother in his sock drawer.

But he’s nothing if not an opportunist. 

The way he sees it, Jason has 3 options:

Self Improvement

Self Isolation (See Duke, Cass, and Damian)

Descension Into Madness (See Dick and Steph)

And, well, he always wanted to try a few things. Now he’s got the free time to do it.

So he settles on baking. 

Alfred’s got enough food and raw ingredients stored up to feed an army. (Not because he’s a Panic-Buying-Hoarder in times like these. But because he’s a Panic-Buying-Hoarder all the time. Just try feeding 11+ teenagers sometime.)

Uses recipes he finds off Google.

His first few attempts are, in a word, ‘tragic’.

Alfred slips him a few of his recipe cards, and Jason suddenly starts seeing Results. 

Turns out he’s pretty good at this baking thing once he gets the hang of it. 

Hope everyone’s okay eating nothing but pie, macaroons, biscuits, and whatever else Jason whips up. 

Cause that’s gonna be the only food left by the time he’s done. 

Barbara - 

Self-quarantined with her dad. 

They’ve been binge-watching classic black and white movies together.

It’s a fun time, but she’s started to get a little antsy. Loving her dad and wanting to be around him 24/7 are, understandably, mutually exclusive. 

Calls the manor to video-chat every day.

For her sanity just as much as theirs. 

Gives everyone little challenges to film on their phones and send in. She makes compilations of everyone’s submissions so they can all watch and laugh together. 

Bonus points for Creativity

One comp shows the family trying to drop Mentos into coke bottles. 

Dick did a handstand, and dropped his Mento from the second story balcony. 

Tim did it wearing the Batman cowl. The soda exploded into his face, and the rest of the video is just Bruce’s Shrieking.

Stephanie tried it, but the bottle tipped. Everyone on camera screamed as the bottle rocketed through the front window. 

She spends most of her calls having one-on-one convos with Dick.

They’ve come up with little code phrases so they can be Cheesy even with family members lurking in the background. 

She thinks the way he clings to the monitor is cute. 

Almost like he’s giving her a hug through the screen. 

(It’s easier than letting herself worry about his mental state, at least)

Tim -

Oh this boy.

Freaked out for the first five minutes before he decided ‘hey wait, Bruce is letting me stay in my pajamas all day? Noice.’ 

Now he’s just vibing.

The rest of his family is Low-Key shielding him.

He Has No Spleen, you see.

Steph: “Someone could cough on him and he could die!”

He just goes about his day, playing Animal Crossing like there’s no tomorrow, tinkering on projects, taking naps, etc. Living his best life.

Meanwhile there’s always someone lurking behind him, keeping watch, keeping him safe. 

Dick sneezed within 5 feet of Tim once (the fact that he was on top of the dusty bookshelf Tim was perusing is irrelevant)

Jason still full-body tackled him the second Tim’s back was turned. 

No one with any symptoms--

Like, any symptoms. They don’t even have to be Corona-related.

--is allowed within 10 feet of Tim. 

Tim has been wandering the manor for weeks, now, without seeing another human being. 

(He sees Dick on the ceiling sometimes, but that doesn’t really count)

He’s been trying increasingly drastic pranks and shenanigans to draw someone, anyone, out. 

But it doesn’t matter how many times he steals Damian’s sword, or sets fire to Jason’s brownie bites.

Nobody wants to risk it. 

Cass - 

No one has seen her since quarantine started.

Everyone is approximately 87% sure she’s somewhere in the manor though

Because she does eat the meals Alfred leaves out for her.

Or at least someone does, at any rate. 

(Jason and Santa top the running suspects list)

Santa was Steph’s suggestion. For some reason it snowballed. 

It’s assumed that Cass misunderstood the meaning of ‘social distancing’ and took it too far. 

But no one knows for sure. 

She is Tim’s Guardian Angel. 

People who so much as clear their throats a little too loudly anywhere near him suddenly wake up on a different floor of the house four hours later. 

Duke came closest to spotting her while he was up in the attic. 

Either that, or there’s another Creepy Sister everyone forgot to tell him about living up there.

She is silent, and watchful, sticking to the shadows, but she does leave the occasional note out to brighten her siblings’ day. 

Things like ‘helo i love u’ and ‘hop u ar ok’  mostly. 

She is bound and determined to protect her family from this invisible threat, no matter the cost. 

Steph - 

Like Dick, she was Super Pumped at first. 

(Just kind of showed up at Wayne Manor before quarantine was enacted. The original purpose of her visit is unclear, but regardless, she’s Trapped.)

Also Like Dick, her descent into madness was swift.

She is impossible to pin down. 

Not like Cass or Damian, who’ve stayed off the grid, and are therefore Untraceable. 

No. She’s impossible to pin down, because she never stops moving. 

Switches seamlessly between Zumba on top of the Giant Dinosaur in the Batcave, and furiously knitting Alfred (the Cat) a sweater with a pair of Tim’s used chopsticks. 

Braided everyone’s hair while they were asleep.

Even Bruce’s. 

She tried to do Tim’s, but somehow blacked out and regained consciousness in the attic. 

When she woke up with a scream and a furiously twitching eye, she startled Duke out of his Makeshift Fort he built out of old cardboard boxes and antique furniture. He’s had to resort to finding a new hiding place. 

Sometimes, on the rare occasions she does sit still, staring off into the distance, she’ll suddenly start laughing hysterically. This may last between thirty seconds and thirty minutes, depending entirely on how long it’s been since she’s knitted a cat sweater or done cartwheels through every room in the house.

Blew up the greenhouse out back, somehow.

Everyone has agreed not to talk about it.

Some people were built to handle prolonged time inside their homes.

Stephanie Brown is not that way.

Damian - 

Damian Wayne Cannot Be Contained.

At least not inside the house. 

He took off thirty-six hours into quarantine. 

Thanks to the security equipment around the borders of the Wayne Estate, he can’t escape the grounds. 

(He’s tried and failed multiple times. Jason and Bruce have a running bet on how many times the perimeter alarms will go off per day.)

(Jason is winning.)

He wanders the grounds with Titus as his only companion. 

The two of them run laps, practice drills, and find ways to occupy their time. 

No one’s entirely sure what those ways are. 

In fact, nobody knows exactly where Damian is at any given time. 

Only that he is Out There. 

And he’s the best security system Wayne Manor’s ever had. 

So far, he’s stopped five groups of civilians scaling the perimeter walls before the lasers and electric nets even have a chance to deploy.

They were trying to break in and steal supplies. 

(Even ones they already had in surplus. Like Toilet Paper.)

He’s also stopped Dick from escaping twelve (12) times.

Drags him back by his shirt collar and deposits him on the welcome mat. 

Usually with a note for Alfred/Jason, requesting more fruit tarts. 

Duke - 

Did not leave the attic for two weeks. 

Then Steph discovered his hiding spot (read: was dumped there by Cassandra) which forced him to relocate to the basement. 

Yes, it turns out Wayne Manor does have a basement. 

This was a surprise to Duke, who always thought that the Batcave was Bruce Wayne’s basement. 

Alfred keeps him supplied with all the necessities:

i.e. food, magazines, assorted pastries from Jason’s latest batch, usually straight out of the oven.

Duke also snagged the Manor’s Alexa. 

She has become a sort of ‘Wilson’ to Duke’s ‘Chuck Noland’.

She is his only comfort. His only ally. 

He’s determined to wait out this quarantine, doing his best to avoid the others. 

Duke has seen these people under pressure. 

He knows exactly what he’s dealing with. 

Duke: “Alexa is the only motherf****r in this madhouse I ever respected.”

*offended butler noises from the other room*

Duke: “And also Alfred.”

What music genres do you think the batfam members listen to?I ask this because of how little Alternative music fan headcannons there are. I personally think Tim enjoys grunge and or nu metal(Specifically bands like limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Korn, and System of a Down)

I'm not too familiar with genres, so I'll be giving this my best shot. I typically listen to music by the vibe it gives. My playlists include music that makes my brain go brr (the nice dissociation), songs for muses, ones to scandalize my mother, music a garage band would play, songs that make God fear me, and a long playlist for pleasant company.

Anyways, I've seen a few fics where people say that Bruce and Tim share a love of those genres. I could definitely see Tim listening to the ones you mentioned. He probably plays it through his preferred headphones as he fixes electronics, codes, or plots destruction. He also, because he suppresses his anger a lot, probably listens to music like Ghostemane, Kim Dracula, and Freddie Dredd.

Jason definitely enjoys musicals. Dick as well, but Jason isn't as vocal about it. Instead, Jason will listen to 80's rock and 2000's girl bands if others around (he ofc listens to TLC).

I like to think that they all enjoy music in different languages. For Dick and Damian, they especially like music they grew up listening to in their respective cultures. The others, because the batfam is multilingual, just enjoy all kinds of different tunes in multiple languages. The batfam playlist, especially for hanging out in the cave, is chaotic. Bruce nearly had an aneurysm the first time he heard Touch You (Yarichin Bitch Club) over the speakers. The only reason the kids didn't get in trouble was because Damian was out with Colin at the time.

I hc that Cass likes lofi hip hop music. She typically enjoys all songs but prefers those without words (because understanding words still requires energy from her and can prevent her from fully relaxing). She does listen to a lot of classical music, a passion she shares with Alfred.

Alfred, the man the myth the legend, enjoys swing music the most. He'll put on a variety of music in the kitchen (different classical eras, opera music, the occasional musical, jazz, some more modern instrumental music, and some movie background tracks), but the whole fam knowns he's in a really good mood if swing music is playing.

Bruce is the type of person to just listen to what's on. Unless he dislikes the music, he will be fine with whatever his kids or Alfred have playing. He particularly enjoys alternative rock and old country music (like Garth Brooks), but he doesn't usually fight for the aux cord.

Barbara has playlists depending on her mood. Birds of Prey mission prep? Bruce being a dick? Dick being a dick? Batfam drama she has to once again intervene in? Coding nights? Can't get out of bed days? She also has a few playlists for each person she regularly interacts with. For calm or bad nights, she'll put the playlist in that person's comm. She also likes to hack speakers around Bruce and play her revenge music when he's being a petty asshole. Some of her revenge music includes "They're Coming to Take Me Away" by Sloppy Jane, "OoOo1" by galen tipton, "All I see is Poop" by Hobo Johnson, "I Swallowed Shampoo" by Soupy Garage Juice, "I am now going to bark at you" by thquib, and "I hope You Die in a Fire" by Grand Commander.

Duke is most definitely a Mitski, Hozier, Crane Wives enjoyer, and you can pry that hc from my cold, dead hands. He probably also likes songs similar to "Ancapistan" by Jreg or "The Fine Print" by The Stupendium.

Dick's music is either super high in energy or sad as fuck. He loves the songs "Has Anbody Seen My Will to Live" by The Tin Knees and "Copacabana (At the Copa)" by Barry Manilow because they are both sad and happy :) I hc that he likes songs by TV Girl, Yot Club, Joji, and Cosmo Sheldrake. He also has a few playlists he follows of Zumba music. The song "The Masochism Tango" by Tom Lehrer is one of his favorites.

This is already a pretty long post, so feel free to reblog with more ideas! I didn't get to Steph or more in depth with Damian :(

[journalofmoonlight]

Omg okay. I haven’t thought of this before but NOW I have thoughts!

First, I would stick to the martial classes rather than magic classes from the start. Saying that, I do like the idea of certain bat fam members dabbling in multiclassing (like someone mentioned in the comments- Babs being divination wizard after retired from batgirl, it fits Oracle, okay..)

Now for specifics:

Fighter: “combatants capable of effectively wielding any type of weapon or armor”

This might be controversial, but I’m a diehard believer in Fighter!Bruce. Bruce is skilled in a variety of weapons and tech, it soothes my brain.

Monk: “skilled martial artists that uniquely blend the use of dexterity and wisdom in combat”

The vibes fit Cass and Batgirl!Babs. My first classic D&D character was a monk so, I hold a special place in my heart for the class. The use of dexterity and wisdom just got their personalities so well.

Paladin: “holy warriors sworn to oaths”

Okay, so this might fit Bruce to a T, at least this description. But I decided five minutes ago to be a diehard Fighter!Bruce. And that’s because Bruce decided to learn to fight before knowing how he was going to use it. If he had chosen to become Batman and then learned how to be Batman, it would be Paladin. But he travelled and learned and then made his oath.

So, I stand by Stephany and Damian as Paladins. I think both of them had a cause from the beginning to fight for and that’s what makes a Paladin for me.

I would even fight for Paladin!Jason. Jason has a heart for the people Crime Alley and cleaning up Gotham. He always has. It fits.

Ranger: “experienced in traversing the wilderness”

I could stand behind Tim or even Damian, but I don’t feel it strongly. Rangers are a slightly hard class to pinpoint for me. Tim definitely works not only in close range, but also multi step plans that are like dominos. So I can see him working as a Ranger.

Damian fits more of the wilderness part, but I feel he’s unlikely to stay at a distance. He likes stabbing too much.

Rogue: “specialize in stealth and are mobile characters capable of dealing serious damage from afar or with a finesse weapon”

As someone previously stated, all Robins are Rouges. It’s just facts. The question is if they stay that way. Dick, who made the Robin mantle what it is, is a rogue by nature. Nightwing is still a rogue. Dick Grayson is a rogue, albeit one who dazzles and disappears. Tim also heavily resembles a rogue. Slipping in and out and is gone.

Jason and Damian fit here too, but I live for them as paladins instead.

Barbarian: “utilize their brute strength to overcome their problems, Barbarians are resilient heavy-hitters that can draw power through their rage in combat”

I don’t think our BatFam has many, if any, Barbarians. Barbarians tend to just smash their way through things and aren’t known for their intelligence (in general, I love a smart barbarian tho). That being said, Lazarus Pit Mad Jason Todd would be a barbarian. So this feels like a multi-class, 2 levels in Barbarian for Jaybird if we’re going that in depth for these NPCs.

For flavor, and no I will not be elaborating on this:

• Druid!Damian

• Artificer!Bruce

• Bard!Dick

•Ranger!Alfred

• Wizard!Babs

• Cleric!Duke

• Wizard!Tim

Now onto backgrounds and I will also not be elaborating on this (unless you ask me to):

• Celebrity Adventurer’s Scion!Bruce or Courtier!Bruce

• Entertainer!Dick

• Knight!Babs

• Urchin!Jason or Folk Hero!Jason

• Charlatan!Cass

• Inheritor!Tim

• Faceless!Steph

• Haunted One!Damian

• Athlete!Duke or Knight!Duke

• Criminal/Spy!Alfred

I'll be starting a D&D campaign soon, and I'm thinking it might be fun to sprinkle in some of the BatFam as D&D characters, so let me know what you think each of them would be like in the D&D world, either in asks, reblogs, comments, or DMs! (Though this is a sideblog so if it's a comment I can't reply and idk if it's rude to screenshot and reblog to comment)

Also if anyone wants to help with worldbuilding I am Strugglin lmao

[rredboard]

i know y’all don’t like my led zeppelin posts but i don’t care anyways here are characters that i think listen to them based on vibes (+ some extra music hcs bc i got carried away)

i feel like roy really likes them and i feel like he and jade bonded over led zeppelin songs. i feel like roy’s favorite song is good times bad times and jade’s favorite is going to california. it reminds her of roy and lian.

i feel like zeppelin is lowkey too sexy for tim but i like to project so he does listen to them sometimes and he has gotten cass into them as well. overall tho i feel like he listens to them the most when he hangs out with cissie, who i feel like could have introduced him to them. cissie also got cassie (sandsmark) into them bc they’re girlfriends.

tim’s favorite song is immigrant song bc he’s basic. like it’s good but it’s basic. he also likes dazed and confused but that is me projecting. cissie’s favorite is when the levee breaks. cassie’s favorite is the rain song bc it was playing the first time cissie kissed her. cass’s favorite is… okay actually this one is kind of hard! idk i feel like tim and cass listen to zeppelin as like. a bonding thing. like they will sit in the same room and do their own thing and zeppelin is one of the things that will play in the background so i feel like cass likes more vibe-y type stuff like going to california or bluesy like you shook me bc i feel like she’s into stuff like mild high club which is very vibe-y. also i feel like whenever cissie and tim hang out whenever they drive somewhere they will be doing the screaming from immigrant song. like they’ll fully try to sing along.

i feel like kon tried to get into led zeppelin to impress cassie before she started dating cissie but he just couldn’t get into it. bart is indifferent it’s just not his favorite rock band. he gives me deep purple vibes for some reason?? i feel like jesus christ superstar is a guilty pleasure for him. i feel like for anita she listens to full on country music. like she likes contemporary country music like sierra ferrell, but i think she also likes pharcyde/90s rap from her parents and fleetwood mac. i feel like she also got cissie into dusty springfield.

yes logically jason probably likes rock music (and his zeppelin songs are kashmir and ramble on) but i feel like he came to the manor an impressionable young teen who was swayed by his new cool older brother and his new cool butler so actually jason has a soft spot for joni mitchell (dick) and billie holiday/ big band stuff like vera lynn (alfred). then i feel like he got into the eagles/ neil young/ creedence clearwater revival/ jefferson airplane

not zeppelin but i feel like duke also likes really vibey stuff like mild high club, cuco, kali uchis. i feel like he would really like trouble on central by buddy. i also feel like he listens to like. live recordings of concerts?? also for some reason i always feel like he would listen to like the mamas and the papas or sonny and cher. imo he would also like lauryn hill/ the fugees bc i feel like his mom would get him into it, but that’s me projecting. i feel like he would get cass into lauryn hill too bc idk man when our family shapes our music taste that shit hits for me

Batkids Rooms

Dick Grayson

Dick really wanted his room to reflect his life and childhood. In his room, I imagine that the ceiling is painted blue and grey as a circus tent. All over his room there are vintage Disney (black, white, blue, and grey) posters and Flying Grayson posters. He’s got a telescope just like in the comics and to top it all off, the lights on the ceiling that are also a reflection of the lights at the circus. His room is dark but can also be lit up by the various light sources all around it. I imagine his room smells of clean laundry and different other smells from around places he’s been in the world from the traveling circus.

Jason Todd 

The theme of Jason’s room is red, black, and beige in some areas. He has this really cool bed with the book shelves and also has book shelves on the wall opposite his bed’s wall. The red curtains are in there like they are in the comics and he also has rock band posters along with his guitar wall. His room backs into the library in one area which means he has a secret door into back of the library. Alfred chose this room for him for a reason 😉. The room is well lit but also has some darker corners due to the color scheme. His room probably smells faintly of leather and old books but it isn’t musty in any way since there’s also tinge of nice cologne.

Tim Drake

Tim’s room is a vibe and no one can convince me otherwise. He had the TikTok LED lights before TikTok. Around his bed and desk plus the perimeter of the bedroom is where you can find them. Typically they are either blue or purple or a mix. He’s got a really cool sitting area with a snack bar in his room and his desk is a corner desk with two massive hutches. The one hutch on the wall has a cork board inside of it filled with notes and pictures from cases. Dividing his work and chill area is an LED light wall. Eventually his obsession with LED lights became a running joke and so every year for Christmas and his birthday he always gets more. Some of them are really funny or ridiculous like the Jesus Saves, Live Laugh Love, and a Hello Gorgeous that Conner has gotten for him. Imma say it here, Tim’s room actually smells really nice because of the candles in it to clear the coffee smell and his computer set up is amazing.

Damian Wayne 

Damian likes to keep things darker and traditional. Think Dark Academia if you will. He’s got a few more quirky touches like having one massive dark wooden executive desk for work and show and then at his window, an art desk that is somehow always messy but in a clean way at the same time. On his art desk is the David head cup holder and open watercolor palettes. He’s got a massive leather chair for reading over at his bookshelf corner. The thing that makes Damian’s room very special however, is that he has put stars on the ceiling to mimic the ones he would see on the roof tops of the compound at the League. He also has the hanging stars and moons in his room and much like Tim’s room, his smells amazing because he always has a few candles going. They are mostly coffee, leather, and pine scented and all natural since he hates the artificial stuff.

Stephanie Brown

Steph’s room is a VIBE. She’s got a few retro elements from the 80′s and spices them up with colors and LED lights. She almost always has music softly playing in the background no matter how chaotic the music is. Her main LED signs are the two ghosts and she also has an album cover wall. Around the bed are colorful tapestries. She likes to leave her room either pink or rainbow if it’s not purple. I imagine she’s also got some really cool artwork on her walls and mirrors. To top it all off, there’s disco balls on the ceiling. Her room smells of lavender.

Cassandra Cain

Cass didn’t really know what she wanted but for something colorfully simple and filled with things she loves. She has a bed with a low frame and over it a canopy of lights and tulle. Her desk is also simple with a few pictures on it and some small plants. Her bed wall has the neutral colored map and to top everything off, she has maps of her favorite cities and a massive fluffy grey rug that almost covers the entire room. Her room probably smells like vanilla and Alfred’s cookies. She likes to also keep black minimal since it reminds her of fighting and her time in the League and she wants this to be relaxing. On a smaller side table, I bet she has a record player. 

Duke Thomas

Duke’s room is modern. It makes you feel as if you’re in a city in a partly cloudy but very bright day. He likes to incorporate yellow along with dark grey. This would be in pops of yellow like a lamp or pillow. This was commented on by Damian who didn’t think it was very manly. It turns out Damian actually really likes Duke’s room and gifted him some fake sunflowers so that they’d last forever. Duke has a massive mural of the city with yellow all around it just for some extra stuff. Duke’s room also smells like clean bedding and overall just feels modern and open.

[autisticcassandracain]

OK I read Batman Secret Files: The Signal #1 and there’s the pros and cons list:

Pros:

Duke’s characterization is solid. Nothing terribly special so far imo (though his fighting scene in the villain black market was cool) but nothing awful either. Perfectly solid.

Cass and Duke are friends!!! Cass and Duke are friends!!!!!

Bruce describing Duke as having ‘unparalleled detective skills’... superb.

Jay is back!! IDK I actually like Duke living with Jay. I have a soft spot for superhero/civilian interactions I guess. 

Cons: 

God there’s so much.

Ok so first of all, writing wise? The dialogue is awful. I physically cringed at “But you could say - I was triggered.” The gen z business guy Bruce met up with was especially bad. They’re trying WAY too hard to make him sound young and end up with a ‘how you do fellow kids’ vibe instead. 

Specific dialogue problem: Bruce going “I failed Jason yada yada” before actually getting to the point about Duke like. What did that have to do with what you were trying to tell Duke. Bruce were you just trauma dumping or??????

Pacing is equally atrocious. Long infodumps in lieu of actually showing the plot. Everything seems to happen at once. I don’t know how long this series is supposed to be so maybe they’re just trying to cram everything in as fast as they could, but if you need to cram this much to fit your story into your allotted time maybe. change your story.

I’m withholding judgement on the actual plot so far but that’s mostly bc I couldn’t follow wtf was going on. Maybe that’s just bc it’s 3:15 AM for me right now but I also have the feeling the huge infodumps, combined with them being delivered in awful dialogue, sure didn’t help lmao. I kept glossing over text balloons and having to force myself to re-read them.

I wish they would just actually develop Duke’s current powers instead of constantly chucking new ones and new developments at him. It feels like we’ve barely scratched the surface of his light manipulation, and then we gave him shadow manipulation on top of that, and now he apparently has super healing AND can already use both at once?? What???? Please do something with the currently existing powers and show us Duke slowly learning how to use and understand them instead of constantly trying to push explosive new developments on us.

Abled Babs is in this one. Mostly in the background but it counts.

What they did to the We Are Robin gang is a CRIME and I will personally prosecute them for it. This deserves a whole entire separate rant bc I couldn’t possibly fit all my thoughts on it into a bullet point list but tl;dr the We Are Robin gang has been done dirty ever since their original comic ended and Riko ESPECIALLY has been consistently OOC since and this is by FAR the worst offender so far.

I do not like how much Bruce is leading the charge here, despite this supposedly being Duke’s investigation. It made sense when Duke was still training with Bruce, and in the initial stages of Batman & The Signal, but even in B&tS, Bruce was more hands-off than this. It feels like Duke is more along for the ride in this plot than a driving force in it so far.

Also Riko’s costume is fucking ugly. If you give her shit characterization at least give her a good character design damn. 

EDIT: wait I forgot to mention this. ‘crime bible’ what the HELL. I literally had to stop and repeat that out loud when it appeared. I can’t believe they unironically used the phrase ‘crime bible’. hell is empty and all the devils are here.

[batfam-all-the-way]

A list of thing in Tim’s camera roll

A screenshot of a snapchat from Duke: Duke’s half face is a blur laughing, the camera is angled to show Dick hanging from one leg from the chandelier, Damian is behind him mid sipping from a teacup, completely uncaring while Stephanie’s phone camera is pointed at Dick. Behind all of them Alfred is looking directly at the camera, completely fed up.

A photo of Alfred holding a tray of cookies high above his head as Damian and Steph reach for the tray, Jason hanging upside down from the top of the frame holding 3 cookies

A screenshot of an internet search image: The search bar reads Red Robin. The photo is of Spoiler effortless wielding her staff, taking up most of the screen, with Red Robin’s face a blur, screaming, just visible over her shoulder in the background.

A photo of Kon wearing a Red Robin shirt, flipping off an anti-vigilante reporter

A photo of Damian, whole face taking up the frame, with a hand from someone off camera (Dick’s) smooshing his cheeks as he glares

A video of Red Hood swinging onto a roof top, yelling “Vibe check!” And full body slamming into a big villain

A snapchat screen recording from Dick of Jason dancing in the bathroom mirror to Ariana Grande, seeing Dick and screaming

A selfie of Bart, Kon and Tim 

A screenshot from Cass’ snapchat story of Tim pouring red bull into a coffee pot, timestamped 3am, a blurred Steph lurching to stop him

A video of Kon as Superboy yelling at the camera “I may not be able to fly, but can superman do this?” Then leaping at a building and slamming face first into the brick wall and denting the building

A snapchat photo he sent to Kon of Jon smiling, face squished as Damian pushes him away  with Damian pulling his signature grumpy face, captioned “Superbrat and Batbrat at it again”

A photo of Jason in long sleeve robin pyjamas wearing his red hood helmet and holding a spatula 

A screenshot from youtube of Duke physically holding Cass back as she tries to fight a very alarmed reporter with a Wayne Enterprises Interview logo in the corner

A video of the group playing scrabble. The camera zooms in on Tim’s letters which are V,W,V,X,Y,P,R, then zooms in on the scrabble board and the word F*CK, then zooms out. Cass is sitting face down on the table, across from her Steph is eating Ramen noodles. Behind the board Jason and Dick are yelling at one another. The audio is an argument about whether or not swear words are allowed

A photo of Kon in the Red Robin suit and Tim wearing his Superboy shirt

A series of group photos including:

A snapchat photo with a Happy Halloween sticker in the corner of the kids dressed up, Jason as Green Lantern, Steph as The Flash, Cass as Aquaman, Duke as Cyborg, Damian as Batman, Tim as Superman and Dick as Wonder Woman

A selfie Steph took of them all in Santa hats, Damian being held in place by Dick

A photo Bruce took of a group hug with Alfred in the middle

2 framed family portraits from the manor, One with Bruce, Dick, Jason, Tim, Damian and Cass all being series and one with them plus Steph, Barbara, Alfred and Duke all pulling funny faces

About 100 batfamily memes

A photo he found of a very tiny, 10 year old, recently adopted Dick Grayson

A series of photos from a pool party ranging from a group photo with all the Waynes and friends to a photo of Dick floating on a pool bed with Jason mid-jump above him

I WANT A BATFAMSHOW SO HARD FAM OMG why dc isn't blasting this concept to all the media in the world. Like. It would work so well. It would WORK AMAZING. I personally thought of it as the Ducktales show, with that kinda of humor, but with (of course) a more serious tone

Lmao @ DC come hire me I’ll do it for free. But I’m happy to hear you like it!!! I’ve been thinking about this for a couple weeks now and I wish I could draw or animate - I’d freaking make shorts for it then. Sadly I’m just a writer (for now let’s see how desperate I get hahaha). AND YEAH LIKE THE DUCKTALES VIBE IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN!!!

I’ve got a few more ideas too:

The “Jason officially revealed as alive” episode is done in a ‘character wants to get to point B but keeps running into obstacles’ style. First it’s the stake out he’s been on way too long, then he has to help Steph out with something, then he sees Duke running into trouble, Damian asks for help smuggling another pet into the manor past Alfred’s keen eyes etc. And it ends with Jason wearing his normal every day clothes storming into his own press conference, barely making it.

Bab’s first POV episode is one of the later ones in which you see her go through her regular day at first, but she keeps getting messages from the other and directs them towards their goals. And Bab’s is oracle.

In general, I’d keep Cass as Batgirl, Steph as Spoiler and Babs as Oracle. Age wise I’d go with something like:

Bruce: 40; Barbara: 28; Dick: 26; Jason: 21; Cass: 21, Steph: 19; Tim: 18; Duke: 15; Damian: 12 and Alfred is of course immortal

Also No Joker. I don’t want to see even a hint of him in this show idc how Great™️ he is supposed to be.

We don’t get the whole family together in one episode until I’d say roughly episode 13, assuming one season would have 20 episodes. I don’t want to overwhelm the viewer with too many characters at once and give all of them at least an episode to actually show off their characterization. Which in turn means that I also don’t really want any outside characters/Teams in this show

Like I’m begging you DC make Tim’s YJ and Titans and Outlaws shows but I don’t want them here

I want a Clayface and Riddler team up cause I think they could create a rather interesting mystery together

And Harley & Ivy!!! Causing terror together! And Two-face.

Oh yeah I also definitely want this to be mystery/detective focused. Let them be detectives!!! Not just Batarang blazing heroes but them utilizing all they have, even their civilian identities.

And yes civilian identities is something utilized here. One episode being done in a sorta spy movie style expect their cover identities at what the civilian personas. And a Damian focused episode of him solving a case in his school which is not treated as a comedic filler or anything

I’m borrowing from Fullmetal Alchemist here but “Be thou for the people. Yes, I want some conflict tying everything together in the background, but I also want to show the little things. That they are heroes for their city and it’s people first and take it seriously, even if it’s just saving kittens

Once I’ve got a solid plan - or even a proper pilot episode, I’ll come back to this
