Rich pregnant socialite: So we went to this clinic and let them manipulate our genes so we're 100% sure our child won't have any disease, he will have my hair and his father eyes and so much things we did for him! And you Bruce ?

Brucie: Found em in the trash. Except Tim, he found me in the trash.

Because there's a brand new dragon type, I did the batfam as Dusthide dragons. [Order at the bottom lol] Honestly I just enjoy dragon AUs and also like the whole predict morphology bit. Might make this into a proper AU because I also enjoy that. I mean, feral cryptid vigilantes (especially winged batfam) is my weakness

Order of Batclan Members: Alfred Pennyworth | Thomas Wayne | Bruce Wayne Kate Kane | Lucas Fox | Barbara Gordon Dick Grayson | Helena Kyle | Cass Cain Jason Todd | Harper Row | Stephanie Brown Tim Drake | Duke Thomas | Cullen Row Damian Wayne | Athanasia Al Ghul | Jarro Terry McGinnis | Matt McGinnis

Now that I think about older DC comics and the messy relationships, there was one theme that always fascinated me.

Three different times there is a storyline about a parent who chooses to step out of the child's life to give them a chance at better future.

There's Stephanie Brown, who is far too young when she has her daughter and is a vigilante, so she gives her up for adoption. (It's implied baby has a good new family.)

Then there's Selina with Helena Kyle, who abandons Catwoman for her daughter but ultimately decides she might not be able to keep her safe from her past resurfacing, so she asks Bruce to find a nice family for her.

And Jim Gordon in Night Cries, who is struggling to not take out his frustration and stress on his family and realises he's not in right place to raise a child, so he and his wife have amicable divorce and the son stays with her.

If I had a nickel...

But it's also kind of makes a fun parallel with Bruce and his children, because generally he reluctantly chooses to keep a child, because this way he can protect them/teach them how to protect themselves. And it's also fun to think about how Alfred and Leslie might fit in his decision to do so.

So just so we're all on the same page, we all do acknowledge that Helena Wayne is canonically totally nonplussed about dropping bodies. Emphasis on the multiple. Like, if she feels she has to, she will, and she doesn't lose a wink of sleep about it either.

Selina agonised more over offing freaking Black Mask than Helena does over a random mook and I find that hilarious tbh. Is it a head empty typa thing - NO! She just does not care ❤️

And it's funny how this is something that carries to most incarnations of her.

Or how Adrien found out his bio!parents were American furries., And his mother was a famous cat girl.

MLB and DC Bat fam batcat, Adrienette and ladynoir,

" imagine as a subversion of the Marinette bio daughter of Bruce. We have Adrien being BATCATS biological child.

Born before Helena, and before Bruce and Selena were ready to tie the knot for realsies.

Selina was young, Bruce wasn't in the right mindset after Jason's death. Boundaries were drawn and lines were crossed.

She thought she was fine. Until she started puking in the morning during her Trip to France

It was positive

She was pregnant.

During her trip she stumbled across a loving family. At a swingers party (this was during the early stages before she decided)

At one point she wasn't going to keep the pregnancy but then while her trip around France found a lovely couple named Emile and Gabriel.

They were so loving and kind to her. Emilie even joked that they could be twins.

)she had decided to grow her hair out and stop dying her hair black. Nobody would recognize her and on the plus side Selina had absolutely ravishing blonde hair. )

She wasn't planning on keeping the pregnancy but then she heard the couples plight.

Emile was infertile. And Gabriel too. But they really wanted a child

they were so loving and kind and supportive that Selena felt it would be best she gave her child the life of a child that was wanted.

Both were deeplly loving. But they didn't want to be intrusive , They argued against the idea but Selina made up her mind.

she would keep the pregnancy, give the couple a chance to raise a bouncing baby child that they would love and adore.

Selina never felt like she was cut out to be a mother butShe still visits.

At least once a year for his birthday.

She even was Even labeled godmother of her son should both the parents be unfit for her sons. She was still a part of her child's life.

All was going well until the incident

------years later----

Now imagine, Selina Kyle finds out her son was in a worse position, his father is emotionally neglectful now and is in a downward spiral trying to find a way to save his wife at the cost of his own son's happiness.

and get the bat family to help , (save Adrien, fight Gabriel advocate for him to be taken to either home or emancipation. )

imagine him being the Only blonde in the family other then Steph and Bette. (Who I will keep in the family)And they all thinks he's the normal one."

Imagine what dick (who is fully grown and married to Starfire) would think about his mentor having a blonde bio child

And she only takes him away after he hires her to steal the miraculous.

I’m going to say it

2002 Birds of Prey show was a good show. And I’m tired of people not knowing it exists/shitting on it.

It did a good job with Barbara (minus one thing I hated in the finale) as Oracle and her talking about being Batgirl. It did a good job with Helena Kyle-Wayne as Huntress. I’m still up on the air with Dinah. I enjoy Dinah, but then remember who Dinah Lance is in the comics and go “…huh”. But Dinah as a new character, I enjoy her. Alfred? God I love him. Alfred deserves the world. Some of the villains, pretty decent, especially for the fact is was freaking 2002 and the superhero obsessed world hasn’t come to full fruition.

I rewatch this show a lot. It’s one of my comfort shows. “But it’s cringe” oh shut up. Without this show you wouldn’t have much of a CW superhero superhero-verse. “But this part doesn’t seem very realistic” Shut up. I don’t care. It’s okay. I don’t think it’s realistic either but it’s a show. It’s okay

Also while I’m at it. WTF dc. I’m still waiting for the ending of my 90s Birds of Prey arc. I have so many unanswered questions and characters who don’t exist anymore and never got an offical backstory on

[l-just-want-to-see]

thinking about Bruce and his orphans tn

[laufire]

on a whim, I decided to watch the pilot of birds of prey, the live-action show, and I have some thoughts lol.

the show is PAINFULLY early '00s, but that means it pushes my nostalgia buttons, so it works xD

the characters deviate from their comic counterparts (as far as I can tell), but I'm open to it. in a weird way, Barbara is the one whose changes should annoy me more, but... I like the actress and the character FEELS like Barbara. I don't care for how they framed the whole batgirl vs. oracle issue (Barbara's sort of dream self being Batgirl, saying she guesses she never let go of her past etc.), but I can accept it as the show doing its own thing as long as that feeling stays, iykwim. ETA: her being a school teacher feels off though, especially because I think of Oracle as something wholly incompatible with 9 to 5 jobs or similar responsibilities (like... Batgirl, as the comics are trying to pull off both lol).

this Helena is Helena Kyle, and one where the writers are doing their own thing (she was raised by Selina, she and Bruce didn't know about each other until after her mother's death). she's basically an OC. her relationship with Barbara is also a little like Cass's, a protégé Barbara takes in after Selina's death. here Helena says she knew Barbara since she was a kid so I'm kind of ??? about how that fits with the Bruce thing but? idek. she also has some meta/cat-like/fighting abilities, I'm guessing inherited from Selina. anyway, I like her. I think it's kinda ridiculous she doesn't put on a mask though. that cop (that you're clearly gonna have UST with, the one played by Criminal Minds' Derek Morgan's actor) saw your face perfectly Helena!!

Dinah, here a teenager called Dinah Redmond (foster parents' last name), is not much like comics!Dinah either. honestly, she reminds me of Steph a bit, powers aside. and the powers themselves are different: precognitive dreams and some telepathic abilities. definitely another character best approached as an OC, and that I liked so far.

Harley Quinn as a mastermind villain in the shadows while working as a therapist (specifically, Helena's court mandated therapist) is PERFECT. but the way the style Mia Sara is a crime.

the thing I disliked most was the double-fridging feature with Selina getting killed by someone sent by the Joker, and Barbara getting shot. in this case, Joker knew Barbara was Batgirl, so both of these were specifically to hurt Batman. oh, and Barbara is shot leaving the bathroom after a shower. with a bathrobe on, and it's not like TKJ doesn't sexualise the attack, but still...

I got some low-key brubabs vibes at one point (Bruce is absent, but she talks about him to Dinah). although maybe it's because I'm watching TNBA, which has that ~undercurrent of subtext lol. I wouldn't hate it in this version but a) it'd be extra ridiculous for Bruce not to know about Helena, and b) it'd make the fridging worse.

Batman: We do not kill !

Every batkid in history: So anyway I started blasting.

Batman: ....We do kill ! Murder is okay ! As a treat ! There is no second chance ! I'm sure being a criminal is in their DNA. I might signaled prostitutes to the IRS tonight because they are not declaring all this cash i'm sure.
