hear me out, danny speaking russian (dc x dp hc)
so i was just watching a video about space, right? allegedly, turns out if you (an american) wanna board the international space station you must speak russian fluently since the only way to get there is by a russian shuttle and pilot (nasa apparently ended their own shuttle program way back when??) (don’t quote me on this)
so picture danny learning russian at a relatively young age for the sole hope of going to space and such, and it coming out every once in a while when he’s mumbling or something like that (it’s basically second nature to him)
so danny ends up at gotham for whatever reason (demon twins, reveal gone wrong, idc, they’re all cool) and he wants to start anew, so he pretends to only speak russian?? ig?? it’d make for some funny/interesting BatFam interactions i suppose
i don’t know where i was going with this but i want to read prompts of danny speaking russian
#danny phantom#dpxdc#dcxdp#dp x dc#dc x dp#one of the bats walks up to him like#dude you’re not supposed to be at an abandoned warehouse why are you here#and he just says the russian equivalent of no habla ingles#what’s funnier is that they’ve seen him talking in english with literally everyone else#he only speaks in russian with the bats#and it drives them NUTS#and he’s having the time of his life#i think the first time a bat spoke to him he was a bit sleep deprived or something#but he isn’t danny COMMIT TO THE BIT fenton for nothing#dc x dp crossover#dp x dc crossover#story prompt#dp x dc prompt#dc x dp prompt#bat family#batman#bruce wayne#alfred pennyworth#dick grayson#jason todd#tim drake#stephanie brown#damian wayne#cassandra cain#duke thomas

So many depictions of the main DC Trinity have Clark be the tallest of the bunch. And while yes, he is a big ol' farm boy, I have to disagree and state why I think the opposite: Clark should appear to be the shortest.
Basically, Bruce and Clark are supposed to both be around the same height (6'3" or smth). However. Bruce also canonically pads his suit to look larger than he is for intimidation. You combine that with his cape which blankets around him and makes him look like a tall shadow, and he kinda just always looks like a hulking beast straight out of a fairy tale. He just feels much bigger than he is.
And Diana is like 7 feet tall. I'm not usually into the whole like "my opinion is the only correct one" but I am here. She's an Amazon AND the daughter of Zeus. She towers over everybody and I will not take criticisms on it.
Artistic depiction.
#IM KIDDING IM NOT ACTUALLY GONNA BE A PEDANTIC ASSHOLE ABOUT HER HEIGHT ALL OPINIONS ARE VALID#also can we talk about how genius Bats' cape thing is? make himself look bigger and stronger and then add the cape to appear as if he towers#over everybody when in reality hes not really much taller than like ivy#clarks outfit is supposed to make him look friendly and approachable. bruces makes him look like a demon straight from hell#and dianas just being fashionable with her armor#dc trinity#wonder woman#diana of themyscira#diana prince#the batman#the caped crusader#caped crusader#batman#bruce wayne#superman#clark kent#kal el#the justice league#justice league#dc comics#superwonderbat#dc

What do the bat's in the batcave do??
Like they never get startled or shit on anything important so they're probably trained. But does Bruce ever use them. Sort of like how the government used pigeons yk. Do they spy on bad guys? Has he ever called on them to finish a fight? Are there carrier bats that just send letters coz "batman's too mysterious to send emails Alfred!"?
There's no way Bruce "breathes in contingency plans" Wayne has a swarm of bat's at his disposal and doesn't use it ever. I'm sure there's a bunch of bat-centric contingency plans. Partly coz it's practical but mostly coz it's on brand.
#Who ever that contingency is for is either pissed or honored#Dick definitely name all of them and still refers to them by name#Bruce used a numbering and tracker system to tell them apart#He's unsure if dick actually knows their names or is just fucking with him#Unrelated but I'm so upset that bat's don't have a cool collective noun like a murder or something#The fuck am I supposed to do with “colony”#It sounds so boring#Okay now I'll get to actually tagging#just needed to vent#batman#bruce wayne#alfred pennyworth#Coz he probably cleans up after all the bats#Atleast until Damian#nightwing#dick grayson

A Batfam AU where instead of going to get Dick to be Robin again Tim uses necromancy to bring Jason back from the dead. He just leaves Jason on the Wayne doorstep with a 'do better this time' sticky note. Batman can't find out who did it and Tim stays his little latchkey self with semi ok but distant parents (cus canonical they weren't really abusive just not there which isn't good but they could be worse). His parents bring him along on trips but again they love him but they just leave him to do as he pleases. so in Paris he ends up still getting trained by Lady Shiva. This keeps going and Tim just keeps reviving batfam members, if they fake their deaths and Tim tracks them down to check on them. They still have no idea who their shadow is, they can't find him, Tim likes it this way. Bruce goes MIA and Red Robin happens just minus Tim actually being Red Robin. The JLA doorstep gets a passed-out Batman with a 'I can't believe I have to keep doing this shit' sticky note on his head.
#now you're probably going Batcaves i see those fics all the time? and my retort is those are babyified Tim Drake fics. he then gets adoped#the batfam and has a coffee addiction. i want a Tim Drake that treats the batfam like how wildlife rehab centers treat animals. they make#themselves knowable of the subject. they're striving to improve their quality of care. establish safe working habits. share skills. put car#of the subject over personal gain. be professional and humane. protect welfare of the subject. release the subject as soon as appropriate.#it's just his subject is batvigilantes not a racoon that was on the side of the road.#tim drake#batman#robin#dc comics#dc universe#detective comics#batman comics#batman and robin#batman au#and i think Jack and Janet being abusive is getting boring. have them be ok parents. they give tim a long leash but fail to see hes using i#for his own fun. they never told him he CANT learn necromancy and revive bat vigilantes how was HE supposed to know it's a bad thing??#maybe they should have looked at what he was doing while they were off. (like Phineus and Ferb. He asked if he could learn self-defense.#he learned from Lady Shiva not at the YMCA. He asked if he could read a book on necromancy! you didn't tell him he's not aloud to use what#he learned! he asked if he could go to the cemetery to see Jason! you didn't say he couldn't revive him! and so on)#Tim: mom can I learn self-defense while in Paris?#Janet: that's a good idea there are so many pickpockets here a little training would be nice for you. do you know a place?#Tim: Yes! her name is Sandra#Janet: cool. if you think she's the best choice. here some money.#Tim: Thanks Mom!#janet drake#jack drake#fanfic idea#fic idea#fanfic ideas#batfam

Damian Wayne stuck in a time loop.
It resets when someone dies, and since Damian is the youngest, it doesn’t matter how rocky his relationship is with the bat-siblings, each and everyone one of them sacrifices themselves for him.
And Damian is pissed off because he doesn’t understand why.
Grayson is obvious, he has made it clear that he feels affection for Damian and has made the most effort into integrating him into the family. Of course he would die for his little brother. And at first, Damian believes he finds this outcome to be the least acceptable.
There is also his Father, again, a logical expression of love. Damian can understand why his Father would die for him, even if he doesn’t want him to. Even if, in the first few loops, he wishes that anyone else would die instead. At least it’s a type of parental relationship he can understand in the abstract, even if it surprises him to see its true about himself. That even though he has several older brothers and is unsure of his place by his Father’s side, the man would do anything to protect him. It reminds him of his Mother, even though he’s sure if she were here she’d find a way for the both of them to live.
Brown is the first one to surprise him. They had worked together when Grayson was Batman and he recognized her competence, but he thought that’s all it was. A working relationship between professionals. A mutal, if grudging respect. He is shocked when she dies, how he had no clue she would go that far for him. How he refuses to let it happen again.
If Brown was a surprise, Cain was a shock. Damian thought of her as nigh invincible, unable to be touched. It was clear she was the best of all of them, that she had seen the hit miles ahead of him, had maybe even seen him brace for it. But she had chosen to let herself go down. He feels every bit his age as he begins to wonder if he’s even more powerless to stop this than he thought if his most competent sister chose to let herself fall.
Thomas was confusing. He was new, newer than Damian and not quite sure of himself. They rarely saw each other aside from school due to the mismatch in schedules. Thomas gave him a wide berth, respecting Damian’s space in a way his other siblings failed to do or intentionally disregarded. Damian didn’t think much of him. Couldn’t understand how Thomas hadn’t even paused, had taken the hit as if it was an unquestionable law of the universe. As if they were really brothers and not strangers. It was a sentiment Damian didn’t know how to return.
Todd was the worst. He had seen him, briefly, before he had come to Gotham from the league. His Mother spoke of him rarely, but with pride. He was skilled, if untamed. He avoided the manor and his brothers and their Father. The only one he usually sought was Pennyworth. That is why Todd was the worst. Because he avoided all of them. Because this family had already allowed him to die before and he had come back wrong. A painful reminder that their family has failed. And he fought so hard to remind them all of that failure, every way he chose to keep fighting to live, to prioritize his own life over their Father’s morality. Only to throw it away for Damian. To force him to watch how his brother’s second death shattered their Father and Pennyworth and Grayson in a way that Damian didn’t think they’d survive a second time.
Drake is incomprehensible. Antithetical. A cosmic error. Impossible. There is no love between them, no grudging respect, nothing. Damian can’t stand to look at the person who he feels is a disgrace to the costume Damian now wears. He is the one who dies for Damian the most. The one he can’t possibly understand. The brother he has the least time to question, who gives him the least answers as to his motivations. Who will both die for Damian and refuse to utter a word to him in the same loop. It is madness. Damian needs to prove himself above this embarrassment, and yet Drake chooses to be beneath him. To die for him. It is in spite of Damian’s skill that Drake dies, and Damian hates him for it.
#batman#bruce wayne#jason todd#dick grayson#redhood#alfred pennyworth#damian wayne#robin#stephanie brown#cassandra cain#duke thomas#signal dc#black bat#spoiler#batgirl#red robin#nightwing#dc comics#dcu#dc universe#i don’t know how to end this#i like the idea that damian comes out of this without a 180 degree personality change#but also it would be funny af if he suddenly hugged all his siblings one day#after the loop breaks#if he just declared that he loved them all or something#but at the same time i honestly think that tim is the one who gets them out of the loop#that damian is forced to work with him#to acknowledge him and his abilities and the fact that their brothers#also damian is a 10 year old child and idfk how he’s supposed to cope with watching his whole family die and then go about the next day#like nothing happened i think it would scare the hell out of the batfam

So do you guys actually think that Jason's entire story, relationship to the others, and philosophy amounts to him being a rebellious teen who wants his dad's attention? Like are you 100% serious? I thought you were joking about that but too many of you are saying it with your whole chest.
And what the fuck is this "Bruce antagonizing Jason is fanon!" Shit I've been seeing? You guys are aware that a parent can love their kid and still be a shit parent right? I know you guys don't want to fathom the thought that maybe your blorbo might also occasionally have to face responsibility for consistently endangering children but let's not start being delusional now.
Bruce does love his kids, that doesn't mean that he hasn't hurt them. And I'd also argue that for the most part he feels in the right for it, and he's said multiple times that he believes it's for their own good, so you can't even argue that he's sorry about it. It's okay for you guys to admit that your PERSONAL INTERPRETATION of the character wouldn't do that but don't sit here and pretend that it's not a facet of the source.
#you can argue meta until you're blue in the face#but I can't ignore the ingerent abuse of Batman and Robin because DC is always drawing attention to it#Stephanie and Jason directly died because of Robin#Stephanie wanted to impress Bruce to live up to his idea of a sidekick and prove her worth#Sheila only sold Jason out when she found out he was Robin#Damians life certainly got worse when he became Robin/moved with Bruce#if you bring up racist retcons I'll kill you btw#how are we supposed to read children dying and being tortured and traumatized constantly#and just ignore that these are children#I can ignore the reality of child sidekicks in campy light hearted early comics#but if DC wants to deal with serious topic they're going to have to deal with some serious implications too#Also that post that's going around about “Bruce loves Jason and it's Jason who's causing all the animosity” is such bullshit#what the fuck are you even talking about#and let's not act like Jason is the ONLY one at fault and Bruce is just a poor loving father#is Bruce spreading that utter bullshit about Jason's death and who he was not an act of violence?#was he not the one to cast the first stone by disgracing Jason's legacy and using a version of him that never existed as a cautionary tale#and I know some of you are going to argue that with most of the kids there's nothing Bruce could have done to stop them#and this is the one time in which I will ignore all the very real ways that he could have#but I still think that in universe the characters have a right to be angry about it#Jason always since his debut as red hood been a vehicle for calling out Bruce#he's so heavily steeped in meta narrative because his run is when they started dealing with the real BAD cases#The Cult Garzonas onscreen murders were getting more common#AND NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME THAT BEING ROBIN DIDN'T MAKE JASON'S LIFE WORSE#THERE WAS NO REASON TO MAKE HIM ROBIN HE COULD HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY AS JUST A NORMAL KID#But Bruce made having a place in his home synonymous with being Robin because the narrative dictated it had to be#what was homeless orphan Jason going to do? say no?#it was basically coercion and it doomed him and he has every right to blame the adult that put him in that position#dc#bruce wayne critical#bat family

one of my biggest complaints for dc is the lack of indian ppl in gotham. like if ur setting a city in new jersey, a state thats literally dubbed as “little india” from how many indians are there yet not a single 1 in gotham?! how am i supposed to take you seriously
#dc comics#dc#bruce wayne#gotham city#gotham#nightwing#robin#red hood#red robin#spoiler#black bat#batfamily#batgirl#oracle#catwoman#dc joker#NO cause make that make sense how are u supposed to be located in gotham but no indians?? that just doesn’t make sense!#i’ll take any rep even a fucking reoccurring civilian. anything. it does not matter#i’ll take someone that’s just south asian and not specifically indian (yes i’m that desperate)#A SOUTH ASIAN VILLAIN WOULD BE FUN! not like. ra al ghul brand of racism bc what dc does to him is. YIKES(tm) but like. he does pull shit#like poison ivey or even kiteman would be cool#otherwise if dc won’t make a dc indian character then i will#trust

Ideas of what clone^2 duo looks like! The full body photos are before they got their suits, then with their suit designs below in a more cartoony-look
I thought anout giving Danny a jacket with his pre-suit look but. I didn’t wanna risk ruining the pose with an attempt to make a jacket
#dpxdc#dp x dc#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc crossover#danny fenton is a clone#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dpdc#clone^2#honestly not bad. im really proud of how danny’s mask turned out#and bby dames looks great#danny’s supposed to be battinson bat and i think i did a pr good job capturing it#starry hates drawing the other eye so danny doesnt get one#his hair is usually pulled back when he goes out as phantom#i wasnt sure what to make damian’s mask so i kinda made it look like dannyms#danny’s#it didnt turn out as good as Danny’s but i still like it#it only covers half his face#so red huntress can see when he’s scowling at her#their torn capes are meant to kinda look like the torn edges of a stereotypical ghost#drawing superhero suits is HARD#danny looks exhausted. perfect. thats exactly the look i was going for#damian looks like a little angel and i love it. a cutiepie who is going to commit unimaginable war crimes /j#danny’s wearing elbow pads if anyone’s wondering#i used pose refs for both#danny’s suit symbol are two lightning bolts connecting at the tips#danny’s aesthetic is ‘disheveled teenage vigilante who has just been handed a murderous baby brother’

love thinking kipperlilly spends her afterlife looking for lucy in a familiar forest
#not art#fhjy#fhjy spoilers#like. does she have a mean of knowing lucy and yolanda got sent to cassandra's domain to hang out for a bit#kipperlilly's isolation means so much to me. she is punished for everything she's done she just doesn't pick up on it#until the moment she dies! one more funky thing that mirrors riz in which he's actively tried to cultivate a community and denied it#until the bad kids. while kipperlilly does not want or care about a community she just wants someone who validates her#but she does Need a community so she latches onto the person she lets closer to her to fulfill her emotional needs#she took the ritual willingly so this might genuinely be her first death. probably terrifying#probably not even enough bandwidth to feel mortified. maybe immediately seeking something comforting out of instinct alone#lmao honestly thinking too much abt fantasy high afterlifes gives me a headache And a visceral fear#Im not religious but I grew up in a culture with a dominantly buddhist/taoist cosmology its Scary that u just go to A Place after u die!!#and then ur still urself!!! thats scary to me what do u mean u stay like that forever. thats fucked#but yeah I think this influences how I see kipperlilly turn out a little bit. in a sense I think of her as being a ghost now#yknow. trying to solve something from life so she can move on and. stop living this life etc#man the reveal that lucy took being killed pretty seriously and is like yeah the others are decent and even sweet#and probably was just trying to hold her party together and do what she thinks is moral by hearing kipperlilly out#lol lmao etc. gods I gotta wonder how kipperlilly's mindset handled jawbones' help#it really is damn tragic tho. I stand by what I said folks like this will complain and be nasty to be around#but they dont have enough desire to inconvenience themselves to off the bat do something abt what they find unfair or whatever#its when theyre handed the seemingly very easy means to be right that they'll start being dangerous#its horribly tragic that the supposed metaplayer and the self-perceived mastermind turned out to ultimately be just an useful idiot#yknow what. I think personally in my heart kipperlilly moves on from her afterlife the moment she says sorry#doesnt even have to be to lucy but that's probably gonna be who received it#ah.... teenage rebellion. teenage gamejacking

More Possessed Doll Au (the au was created by @phoenixcatch7 so go check them out they do great stuff!)
Honestly this would be early-ish I am thinking into Bruce doing his vigilante work with the doll body. Or he just straight up has thick eyeliner/raccoon makeup lol.
#batman au#batman#dc#dcu#cryptid batman#possessed doll au#art#sketch#I like to think that the lil bat hoodie was made for him as a gift lol#Completely unrelated but I am just rotating like#Bruce's friends like Diana and Clark learning about the fact that he has two bodies#Also just Bruce finding each of his kids and doing his best not to scare them when his body and the bat itself is supposed to invoke fear#Just#Slowly coaxing the terrified child over to check them over for injuries and then they end up clinging because once he registers as safe#he is SAFE like wtf would try and attack this THING to get to a tiny child? Nothing in their opinion#Scary dog privilage but it's the 10'+ giant puppet and the dozen or so kids clinging to him#Gosh y'know what I am now rotating the league learning that the Bat isn't human the first time again and the aftermath of it#If you haven't checked out Phoenix's writing for that Go Do It Now#bruce wayne#ibispaintx#why does all my good art happen when I am sleep deprived or in the bath lol

Okay, I can’t be the only one who has a picture in my head of child Bruce being adopted by a fae, and almost stolen.
In my head, Bruce is like 9 or so at the time. I read somewhere that the fae tend to take kids sometimes to raise them or to have them as pets. So I’m imagining this super powerful fae who got attached to a child of like a witch or something, and is raising this kid in this weird in between place between the fae realm and human world.
So the kid probably explores and ends up finding Bruce and befriending him.(Maybe there’s an entrance to that dimension in the cave that becomes the Batcave, and Bruce is exploring.)
So Bruce is unceremoniously adopted by this sort of fae child and it takes a little while for either of their respective adults to notice. The fae notices and is debating whether or not they should take Bruce, but then Alfred notices.
Alfred is British, and the British have so many myths and stories about the fae, so there’s no way Alfred doesn’t become convinced they are about to doom his kid to a life as a slave.(Bonus points if this leads to Alfred having a tiny crisis about being Bruce’s father figure and not wanting to replace his parents)
I’m not 100% sure about the rest of the au, but I can clearly picture in my head the fae kid sitting with Bruce at a table, eating cookies, while Alfred and the Fae being have a ‘conversation’(I’m imagining that thing where character a is oblivious to character b and character c having a full out brawl.) Bruce and the Fae kid eat cookies while their respective guardians duke it out.
Years later, Bruce is asked by the kids about the iron brass knuckles in the cave, covered with something.
#bruce wayne#batfamily#alfred pennyworth#alfred pennyworth is the best#Bamf Alfred Pennyworth#child Bruce Wayne#I can think of three different endings#first is Bruce and fae kid are separated and the portal is destroyed#then years later they meet again#bonus points if Bruce is supposed to be a sacrifice#second ending is fae child and Bruce are raised by Alfred#and they grow up as siblings#it’s like the story where the woman takes both the changeling and her kid#Alfred gets a free slightly Eldritch child#the bat kids grow up with their magic aunt/uncle who teaches them about deals#the third option is Alfred and the fae raising the two like a bitterly divorced couple#this is my favorite#the fae kid doesn’t age very much#so the bat kids have an aunt/uncle who looks younger than them#who is very focused on their happiness and has a loose grasp on morals#what if Bruce promised never to kill a human being#and that is why he doesn’t kill#it would be so funny#especially if the justice league gets involved#this is better if it takes place in an assumed cryptid batfamily au

god i just realized that king isat is like pmd darkrai if darkrai was actually well written and interesting
#bwark#isat spoilers#in the tags because im gonna ramble jere#like i don't bat for king or anything but he really is just darkrai done right#he has an understandable and sympathetic reason to his actions but you are Not supposed to feel bad for him#he's still doing terrible things and obviously the player is put into siffrin's shoes for pretty much all of the game bit the bonnie scene#is one of the best examples of that#the game is so interesting in how it handles him as an antagonist. there's so much nuance but by the end there's no wishy-washy shit about#him being redeemable#meanwhile darkrai is evil for. reasons. because he's a scary looking pokemon?#darkrai is the one thing the anime has over the pmd games because darkrai is so interesting in the anime#for all the shit i give journeys it canonizing darkrai and cresselia having a symbiotic relationship was fantastic#hell pokepark darkrai is more interesting than pmd darkrai with his role as sort of an antihero#the most interesting thing about pmd darkrai is him suicide baiting children and tbh atp that's just funny to me in how messed up it is#like it's so over the top dark that's it's just hilarious#darkrai: you should kill yourselves NOW#my eevee hero and shinx partner in the middle of having a minecraft date:
