Bruce's smirk. I love Dick. I love this family. Jason, don't smack your brother. (I think that's Jason and Dick.)
Harley, I adore you. Especially how Bruce hesitates and your grin.
Okay, Bruce removing his hood made me think of him as a girl for a second or so... Don't ask me why. Also the little ears that stay as he does so.

Extremely funny bit of Dark Knights of Steel I have not seen anyone mention is that by the timeline we are given, Bruce has to be 17 at the oldest for everything??
Dark Knights of Steel #12
Makes his relationship with the Robins even funnier, that is not Bruce and his gang of children, that is just a gang of children, full stop.
#in tales from the three kingdoms he supposedly meets the robins 5 years ago so it's clear no one was thinking about this#(bruce would be 12)#which tbh is not unexpected from a comic that couldnt keep supergirl's name straight (zara or zala??) & called deadshot wade#(ig they mixed him up with deathstroke and mixed *him* up with deadpool but come on guys)#(ironically there's a different story where he's *almost* 12 and it is funny to imagine they take place within a year of each other)#dark knights of steel#batman#bruce wayne#dc comics#mae reads comics

DARK KNIGHTS OF STEEL TALES FROM THE THREE KINGDOMS no.1 (one shot) • cover art • Neil Googe [Sept 2022]
The El Kingdom has been ruled with integrity and honesty for generations, by familes from the Waynes to the Els. The future of the kingdom lies with its three heirs and the challenges they will face…but what really prepared them for their tumultuous future? What stories defined Bruce, Zala, and Kal-El?

Baffled by the lack of Dark Knights of Steel fan fic about the Robins. Like, the story is sitting there for the taking!
Dick and Jason's stories can be adapted without really having to change anything. Duke and Steph are a little harder, but a few nudges here and there and you've got your story. Cass isn't in Tales of the Three Kingdoms so we can assume she comes later, but again you just need a few touches to adjust.
But Tim and Damian? How in the world did they get wrapped up with the Robins? Is Damian still Bruce's son in this universe? Does he have latent Kryptonian powers? Is he illegitimate or did Talia and Bruce get married? Was he raised by his grandfather to believe he is the rightful heir to the kingdom, only to run away when it got to be to much?
And how does Tim fit in? Are his parents nobles in this universe, and if so are they dead or did he run away? Does he sneak out at night to help the Robins but slip back into a mansion before morning?
And there are so many little details too! Jason has his white streak, where did it come from? How long have Tim and Cass been stationed in the other kingdoms? Where is Damian at the start of Dark Knights of Steel? What about Barbara, how does she fit into all of this? Are the other Robins a little annoyed that Bruce showed up with Cass and said 'she's one of you now' despite them all being a tight nit group, or did they accept her? What are Kal and Zala's relationships with the Robins like?

Dick and Tim in Dark Knights of Steel 6, 7, and Tales from the Three Kingdoms.
#tragically dick and tim do not appear together in this comic because it's not about them even a little#but bruce meets dick because dick is a robin hood-ish thief who heroically saves a kid and tim is working with him#and later when bruce is in trouble dick goes to help him and meanwhile tim is undercover spying for bruce in another kingdom#and both these things are perfect and i approve of them#my comic art but we are using the term ''art'' loosely#since it's just the copy-pasted pictures from the comics + color filters#plus the pokemon moon and sun background because i thought it was cool-looking#dick grayson#tim drake#dick & tim

A Kingdom of Lies Preview
Tales are told to the young so they may tell their children. When those children are old enough to sire their own little ones, they pass those stories on, no matter how many facts get skewed during centuries of retelling.
Bards sing of tales that have one word of truth within the whole hymn. Epic tales of monster slaying, of princesses fucking lords and knights that saved them from stone towers, and never a word of truth is spoken.
The only tales that are true are ones written in blood and ink. Ones that are retold word for word in books bound with leather, on paper so old that oil from fingers will disintegrate that which the word sits on to mere dust.
And sometimes people will go to great lengths to make sure the true word is destroyed.
The fire of Brakenlothridge burned for many days, it took many lives and it left the library, the continent's largest library in all but ashes.
When the embers died and the ruins were rummaged through there was one burnt, mangled page that managed to survive. One page that held the history of the continent that would be sung about in bard songs and tales passed on through generations.
In the year of Alder, fifteen thousand years since the meshing of dimes, the continent was vast and held aloft by kings and by men. Promethia, Lythantry, Idozerain, Drathania, Lorcathwyn, Undrella, and Rathynim were still cast aside under the banner of faerie filth.
Fae were not men, they did not understand the hearts and the blood of those that fought under banners and sigil. Fae did not burn with love or with yearning. They could never understand what men had to do, what they had to sacrifice.
The stigma, you see, was that the fae did not deserve the continent of Aer. They did not have to find their way after the meshing of dimes. They were not dropped into this world. They already owned it. They already had conquered all there was to conquer.
They had unnaturally long lives and so they could never appreciate that which was handed to them. So the humans, who did not covet the kindness of the fae king Althymer, rose up against him.
The fae were a war-less people. They did not know fighting or war. They knew peace and believed in the land and in the power they were given by the gods since the world was born from the Mother's tears.
But no power, no magic could stop thousands of men with steel and swords and love for bloodshed.
King Tryon rose from the ashes of battle and appointed his closest warriors and lords to titles no one had yet held and promised their lineage to carry on the spoils of a bloody war where one side did not fight back.
King Tryon with eyes of black and hair of fair blonde sired King Regia with eyes of black and hair of light brown. King Regia lived for almost a hundred years, sired seventy two known bastards and only one truly noble son who claimed his throne, King Alder.
King Alder was known as Alder the Terrible. He fought as much as he fucked, he drank as much as he ate, he spent coin as far and wide as he could see.
He fucked whores from brothels while a rebellion grew under his very nose.
Through three generations of kings, King Althymer of the fae never died. Some say the fae live as long as the world does, some say they live for thousands of years until they find a love so pure and so untainted that they give their soul back to the Mother in thanks.
King Althymer from behind his own barrier made of mist and darkness, one he created to keep the humans out, sired seven sons.
Some say he created them with dark magic from the goddess Detyr. Some say human women birthed them, hence the reason their ears did not have the delicately fine points. Some say they were born from the earth and once they fulfill their purpose they will crumble like dust and sand. Some say the seven riders were born of Alder, all bastards, and the king of the fae gave them a gift.
Those seven sons of Aer rode across the continent with fae, witches, magic filled vikings. They struck hard and true, never forgetting how the humans and kings slaughtered their fae brethren.
The battle, better known as the Battle of the Light and Dark, raged for many days. Some say ten nights passed, some say twenty. But the outcome was the same.
The seven sons stood upon Lyrican Rock, amidst all the gore and blood, the bodily fluids and they claimed the continent. They claimed it for the fae king and they claimed it for themselves.
Once the battle was won, King Althymer wanted nothing to do with the world. He wanted no part of this reign or the next after seeing what was taken from him. So he kept the Veil up, keeping his lands hidden from the outside.
The seven sons took their place upon Lyrican Rock, crafting the greatest castle ever seen by men and fae alike. They split their duty and their land into seven equal parts with the castle sitting dead center of the continent.
The seven kings of Light and Dark reign true with the gift of long life from King Althymer. They reign righteous and steadfast and hold peace in the land of Aer.
At least that is what the found text of Brakenlothridge had said.
But sometimes even paper printed in leather tomes lie.

I'm trying to figure it out. How the heck is Clark holding Damian up? Tim and Duke I can see because of their hoods/cloaks. Does Clark have Damian's also? It looks like it but it also looks like it's in Duke's crossed arms.
Yes, I skipped straight to the kids. I'll read the rest but I love these children.

I used photos I took from my copy of Dark Knights of Steel. They work.
Putting up two pictures I took this morning for now. Hopefully I'll figure out some good ones of the family to use.
