Can you draw Talia and Ivy together? I think they should kiss. Like fr Talia is too good for Bruce, and Ivy and her can literally work together and save the planet while murdering people. Y’know, just girl things.☺️😉💕

So let me double that ask. I’ve been meaning to draw the Gotham city sirens for so long and this gave me an excuse 🤭 oh plus Talia of course

Also ignore how they literally (ivy and Harley) look somewhat different in each one I was figuring out a style for them…

This is the only alteration I accept.

Also I fully agree that the batkids would just saunter on in and add their own weird rules that everyone else has to suffer through.

I’m like 99% sure the Gotham Elite’s social customs are fucked up because Autism-in-Human-Form Bruce Wayne was just so fucking tired of high society’s weird and incomprehensible (and frankly ableist) social etiquette that he went full Virgin Mary About-to-Invent-a-Major-World-Religion, said “oh haven’t you heard?” and just started making his own random social rules. Like who’s going to stop him? The other elites? The dinosaur CEO’s? He’s richer. He hosts the better parties. He could tank your business in a weekend. So when he says “Weird passive aggressive fork language is out. Having a different utensil for every different food texture is in,” you use a different utensil for every food texture. Now when foreign elites visit Gotham, they have to learn a completely new set of social customs to fit in. It’s like a cult, but the cult is run by the most influential man in the world and Gotham’s personal Jesus. The followers are more likely than not mafia bosses named after a bird. You will be judged. There’s a test. Yes, you do get brownie points for being nice to the servers. For the love of god, stop making so much eye contact. The cloth napkins are folded into little ducks. Welcome to Gotham.

“It’s a humble concoction, a tincture that acts on the primordial soup sloshing about the synapses…

The lofty work, anything worthwhile, should start any moment now.

So let’s begin: racing thoughts or elevated pulse?

Take your time.

Though I must admit you seem a bit unsettled. In some the oratory is the first to go.

Silent screaming.

It’s in the eyes. The subtlety. But we can expand upon that notion later. After all we’ve only entered the first phase of this particular exploratory process.”

BATMAN BEGINS (2005) dir. Christopher Nolan

“Blessed bat again, sir. They nest somewhere in the grounds.”

The actual reason

I think it is extremely funny how New Jersey, the state Gotham is located in, is the only state where it's illegal to pump your own gas.

Apparently it's "Because of the fire hazards directly associated with dispensing fuel[...]"

Any Gothamite would be shaking their head at this.

They are used to attacks on Gotham by rogues on a daily basis. Just living in that city puts them at risk for dying in a gruesome way. Fear toxin, Joker Gas, getting frozen in ice, you name it.

But they aren't trusted to pump their own gas?

And the poor gas station attendants.

I bet they judge the supervillains based on how they treat service workers.

You stand at the gas station and Red Hood rolls up?

Yeah, they know him. He's nice. Yeah, they know how he opperates, so what? He bitched with Freya about her ex when they'd just broken up. He gave Alex a good tip when he'd mentioned how he had to work on his birthday.

I did some Robin outfit re/designs for fun! I haven't drawn the batboys much, so this was a lot of fun to do! Should I do Stephanie as Robin and Carrie Kelley next?

While I'm sure bad guys in Gotham have learned over time that the Bats don't kill, that even after bashing your teeth in they'll flag down an ambulance or dump you unceremoniously at the ER, it's still a shaky trust.

One that is easily shaken seeing a child wielding a sword in the dead of night; nobody wants to learn how that is handled nonlethally. Or bad guys just surrendering one late night after running into an alley and Nightwing's standing over their unconscious buddy, holding the gun he wrestled away. They watch Red Hood break into the place they're robbing with a crowbar in hand and just decide they'd rather not chance it. They see a shadow that could be Black Bat and-- you get it.

idk if someone has already made this post but. imagine gotham upholding bruce wayne as an example of "you can have a tragic backstory and not start doing weird superhero/villain crap" and he just has to Deal with it

bruce forces the batkids to go to his charity balls and he gives them suits and dresses for it- but he accidentally switches tim and Stephanie's outfits.

*Jason, Dick, and Duke huddled together looking at Tim and Stephanie walk into the ballroom*

Jason: They didn't.

Dick: They wouldn't

Duke: They did.

Stephanie: *wearing a black and red tux*

Tim: *holding her arm while wearing a bright purple dress, with heels*

Bruce: *sighs in tired dad*

Ghosts Talk, Danny Listens

Dpxdc Prompt #48

One thing that becomes really obvious about ghosts the moment you meet one is that they are terrible gossips. Especially when it comes to the living. There's a reason that every ghost and their mother knew about the ghost portal only a couple weeks after it was created.

There are less ghost in Gotham than Amity Park, none powerful enough to stir up trouble. But that doesn't mean they didn't like their fair share of gossip.

What's the best place for ghosts to get the juiciest gossip in town, you ask? Well it's the rooftops of course!

And what's the best way to haunt the rooftops, you may wonder? Possessing the gargoyles obviously!

Danny knows this and knows that if he wants any chance of surviving the Gotham streets he needs as much info as possible.

He starts speaking to the gargoyles and all is well. That is until a certain vigilante sees a teenager on the roof of a very tall building, talking to what seems like no one.

At a charity ball:

Socialite: So Bruce, how has Damian been warming up to the household?

Bruce: He’s been great. Damian is such a caring kid–

Damian, appearing out of nowhere: Father. Three decomposing hags had the audacity to caress my face.
