"Yeah he's dressed like a fucking Bat. So what? Some guy in the Narrows just got melted into acid by a ray gun on Tuesday. And you know who has to show up and deal with that?" hacking cough, another long drag "Last night I drank eleven of those fancy little espresso shots from that new cart over on 5th and didn't feel a thing. Doctor told me it's bad for my heart. You know what's bad for my heart? Crazy psychos with ray guns melting people into acid. Back in my day, people fell into acid, sure. But now they've got acid guns too?" more coughing, some chest pounding "Bat says he wants to go deal with that, I say more power to him. Matter of fact, he can walk right into my house and kiss my wife if it means I don't gotta write more paperwork about people getting melted into acid. You know how hard it is to identify people when they're goo? It all just looks like puked up spaghetti in those bags. And the acid keeps eatin' at the bags when they're in the cooler so they break open, and boom, that's another form. I filled out three forms about that this week, believe it or not. So yeah, the Bat's doing me a favor, way I see it." lighting another cigarette "Hey, buddy. You want one of these?"
Bruce Wayne, staring at the only other non-corrupt officer in the GCPD he was surreptitiously vetting after his last meetup with Gordon fell through: "Um. No thanks."

Transfers
Jim Gordon decided to offer his home to the students transferring from Casper High to Gotham Prep for a few months. Barbara wasn't too happy about it but Jim preferred that to having those kids end up in a dangerous place or worse, with Bruce Wayne (he meant well but frankly Jim would rather not risk another young vigilante). Besides, one of the transfers practically demanded a restraining order against the millionaires, the poor kid.
Honestly Jim didn't understand why the transfer program existed. Casper didn't know how dangerous Gotham was? Or didn't they care?, all he hoped was that he could keep them safe and that they wouldn't come back to their home too traumatized.
Of course, he had no way of knowing that the Casper's trio was more than ready for Gotham, with weapons disguised in their suitcases and a ghost hero about to enjoy an extended vacation after negotiating a deal with the ghosts.
Gotham wouldn't know who hit it.
#dpxdc#transfer students#eternal trio#everlasting trio#technically this is Casper High deciding that the trio needs a vacation#Casper also need some time to rebuild the school#the trio is too connected to the ghosts for them to risk remodeling with them inside#and Gotham is dangerous but Amity has nothing to envy them#dp x dc#dc x dp#Sam is happy to meet his favorite eco-terrorist#Tucker plans to hack all of Gotham#And Danny is happy to have a vacation#Poor Jim Gordon#he is about to have many cardiac arrests#the trio can take care of themselves#And ghosts would probably visit Gotham#it will be an interesting couple of months

There have to be times when Gordon preemptively assumes that Batman's vanished. Like if there's a break in the conversation or a vital clue's been shared, without looking he says, "I guess we'll have to ask our questions next time," and Dent goes: "Or we could ask him now? He's right next to you."
#Gordon (double take): You're still here!?#Batman: I can... leave?#Dent: ?????#Or when Gordon tries lighting a cigarette after a meeting#and nearly jumps out of his skin because the vigilante reminds him he was supposed to quit.#how embarrassing for him#but I know I'd get conditioned too in expecting batman to vanish#politely turning to give the guy some room#Jim gordon#batman#bruce wayne#batposting#dc comics#harvey dent#EDITED: For numerous spelling and grammatical errors to keep me from launching myself into the sun

Any hot takes or opinions about Leslie, Alfred and Jim Grodon?
OH!!
Alfred listens to gangster rap in his free time, but, he listens to female artists exclusively. In all genres. “Men speak enough, don’t you think?”
He can mimic any accent under the sun. EXCEPT for the “Jersey girl buying energy drinks at a gas station” one.
He just can’t bring himself to. Tim has this theory that their beloved shotgun grandpa isn’t even British and he’s faking it. He’s willing to die on the cross for it.
Leslie used to write Jason’s gym passes when he had to skip. Either because some rogue got a little too rowdy (and by God, she feels just a minuscule bit worse for them after Bruce is done with them)
I don’t know if this is feasible at all, but she somehow convinced his gym teacher he can’t participate cause he’s on his period. “…Well, this is Gotham, I guess. “
I think Jim gets into fights with the moms from his Facebook group, — specifically, his PTA group. (It truly depends on what version of Barbara you prefer, — but I love her in The Batman 2004)
Alfred keeps Martha’s wedding ring on his left hand and Thomas’ on his right. He only takes them off when he patches Bruce up. And he has their last words tattooed on his back ^^
Jim is sick and tired of Bruce dipping in the middle of their conversations, so he handcuffs them together until they’re done.
Maybe even a bit after. They should get to spend time together. (Harley Quinn series I see you and I hear you
#asks#dc#dc comics#alfred pennyworth#batman#leslie thompkins#jim gordon#also it really depends on who I cast jim as that day. Jim from Batman 2022??? father. catches Bruce choking on his vape and throws a fit#PEDRO PASCAL JIM GORDON. DADDY. GROUCHY ASS MF WHO STEPS ON BRUCES CAPE AND WALKS HIM LIKE A DOG#YEAH!!!!!#text#text post#jason todd#also jason ran to leslie in his mob boss days bc he couldn’t go to any other hospital#batfamily#BC JIM IS A BATFAM MEMBER TOO GOD DAMN IT

When Steph and Cass get married they don’t take the last name Brown (Daddy Issues™️) or Cain (Daddy Issues Prime™️) or even Wayne (Steph absolutely REFUSES to become a Wayne nosirree), but a secret fourth thing (Gordan).
#BARBRA GORDON IS CASS’ MAMA AND TO AN EXTEND STEPH’S TOO OKAY#yes Steph still has Crystal but yall can NOT tell me she didnt lowkey look up to Babs as a secondary mom figure#the only one who is in on the jig is Kate bc shes officating the whole thing bc DUH and the way she fucken WHEEZZEEDDD when Steph explained#the way Kate would stand at the podium and anounce with such a smug grin#looking DIRECTLY at Bruce#‘I pronounce you…. MRS STEPHANIE AND MRS CASSANDRA GORDAN!’#the sheer fucken UPROARRRR#Steph LAUNCHES herself into Cass’ arms and kisses her senselessly as her now wife effortlessly carries her in a bridal carry#babs takes a second to process before instantly losing her NIND bc oh these crazy kids did NOT no no shes not crying#(she is. she so is. her date Dinah is handing her a hankerchief)#the batbros minus dami are hollering and cheering bc YEAHHHH STICK TO THE MANNNN#dami himself is dismissive and muttering about how could anyone throw away the wayne name like this#(on the inside he actually thinks this is pretty funny and must admit Barbra’s last name is a worthy rival to the Wayne name)#Bruce. Bruce is stunned. shell shocked. this girldad just lost his fav kid his princess#Jim is just having a damn good time bro is clapping Bruce on the back and having a good laugh over it all#also does this mean he has two honorary grandkids? no? well suck it bruce theyre my grandkids now#the other gothmanites who were invited like the birds of pret or the gotham city sirens are also all clowning on Brucie Boy#dc#stephcass#cassandra cain#stephanie brown#batfam

i think jim is characterized at his best when hes always a step away from a nervous breakdown and is in denial about being pussywhipped for batman
#he should be cringe he should always be in the state of having relationship problems/getting a divorce he should be stress smoking#he should be flirting with batman without realizing he should love his daughter he should have chest pain and smokes more to self soothe#ransom note#yeah sure ill put it in this tag too:#batgordon#jim gordon

A lot of people say “ at least he’s not lonely” about Harv having Two-Face but that’s just not the case . They are incredibly lonely . The way Harv sees it he lost everything; the chance to have a family , his job , close friends .
When Harvey says “he (Bruce) is my only friend” Two-Face bitterly says “ I’m your only friend” . That’s incredibly lonely all Harv has is himself essentially . And it makes him susceptible to forming quick and emotional relationships to anyone who shows him kindness hence in many comics he grows attached to his therapists crying at the foot of one of them when they die in one comic , Two-Face letting another therapist live because she was kind to Harvey and in the black and white comics he fell for his plastic surgeon .
#◖𝙳𝙸𝙲𝙷𝙾𝚃𝙾𝙼𝚈 𝙾𝙵 𝙾𝚁𝙳𝙴𝚁 & 𝙲𝙷𝙰𝙾𝚂 / 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙶𝚂 .#he’s a lonely sad man#he never got over Gilda . he always cries over Bruce . like . harv is lonely guys#I wish they’d give us more harv and Gordon content too since Jim and harv were like family once I know we got some stuff with them a while#back but it’s been too long since they interacted I know it hurts Jim to book harv after everything#aughhh#𝙲𝙰𝚂𝙴𝙵𝙸𝙻𝙴 / 𝙷𝙴𝙰𝙳𝙲𝙰𝙽𝙾𝙽 . ◗

"Darker, grittier, and more pessimistic, even before losing Robin." In what ways did this manifest? Was it towards people or just in general? I agree with this interpretation and also believe that Batfleck (compared to other interpretations) takes his company and employees very seriously�� he's clearly not here to play lol... but at the same time, he's very much still a huge womanizer (and in this universe, alcoholic)
It's an interesting question. Two possible "hardening" events are proposed in BVS -- the Black Zero event where Bruce lost all of his Metropolis staff, and Robin's death by the Joker. Multiple bystanders in the movie suggest that Batman didn't use to act like this -- that he was more patient or fair than the version we see on screen.
But yes, I think he was already "harder" than other Batman/Bruce Wayne iterations before either of those events. He's bigger, he's more scarred, and he's more willing to use violence. He knows how to use violence.
Similarly, the Bruce Wayne we see isn't really the dumb, affable playboy -- yes he plays dumb at points, but not pleasantly. I've always thought it was because you really couldn't play it that way at 6'4 with Affleck's bulk. He's an asshole, he drinks too much, and when he plays dumb, it's with the sharpness of a rich, rich man trying to inflict himself on the world around him.
And yet. He cares about his Metropolis staff. He poured millions, possibly billions, into the recovery efforts in Metropolis. He ran in shirtsleeves and loafers toward the Wayne building to (somehow?) save his staff from certain death. He obviously cares, even after Robin's loss.
But before losing Robin, before Black Zero, I think this showed up in similar ways. Womanizing like you mentioned, alcoholism. Maybe a rougher tangle with the League than we've seen this far. Maybe it's a darker Gotham he's just molded himself to, over the years -- his quote to Alfred about good men in Gotham sticks out to me. Maybe he started out hopeful, only to see what happened to "good" men.
I think the fact that Thomas tried to fight off the mugger in the alley really set the tone for Bruce in the whole movie. The rage, the clenched fist, the huge bulk of his dad lurching forward to protect his family -- it still wasn't enough. It wasn't an accidental shot that killed him, and Martha's killing a few moments later was deliberate and awful. It was an execution.
#asks#anon#batfleck#batman#ben affleck#anyway i know people hated this movie#but the bruce scenes are FASCINATING#because they veer away from the typical characterization#but not too far#bruce wayne#dc#thomas wayne#alfred pennyworth#martha wayne#jim gordon#robin#synderverse

Dream Gotham blunt rotation?
Harvey, every adult woman in Gotham (except Isabella bc weirdo :/), Harvey (again), Victor Fries (I think he really needs it tbh, or a wife but yk.)
Nightmare Gotham blunt rotation?
Oswald, Ed, Jim (I fucking hate him), Oswald ( again bc he would realistically be the worst to get high with), Jim (I want this man euthanized).
#i love making stupid headcanons#like oh my god it’s so silly dude#but yea I still think Oswald would be the worst to get high with#he’s too impatient for an edible and his ego would make him wanna out smoke everyone#fucking dumbass#I don’t trust this man to smoke responsibly.#Ed…he just talks to walls. he’s chill otherwise. I just hate Jim and wanna see him suffer#I would wring his fucking neck bc I know he doesn’t stop yapping abt the consequences of his actions#like grrr rhrrrr#but yeag#moo.txt#gotham#oswald cobblepot#edward nygma#gotham penguin#gotham riddler#ed nygma#the riddler#oswald my beloved <3#jim gordon#harvey bullock#victor fries#barbara kean#lee thompkins#tabitha galavan

When Legends of the Dark Knight #125 had Bruce say “[My secret identity] is the one thing I can give you” and Jim Gordon said “I don’t want it…If I wanted to know who you were I would have discovered it ten years ago. And for all you know, maybe I did. Maybe I do. But that’s not the point. Put [the mask] back on.”
And Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Two Jim Gordon said “It’s good to hear your voice, Batman” and Batman said “It’s Bruce” and Jim Gordon said “No, it isn’t. It was never Bruce.”
#the heart of their relationship…#gordon’s knowledge of a not so secret secret self#and the irrelevancy of it#when the self he’s know all too well has been the truest#bruce wayne#jim gordon#bruce x jim#batgordon#brucejim

okay, for my de-aged gotham!bruce au
what if there was a new rogue running around de-aging everyone who got in their way? the trigger to turn back is unknown and seemingly random. so after bruce is de-aged, some of his old rogues are de-aged too. since their MOs are a bit different because they're at a different point in their lives (it depends for each one when they're de-aged to) bruce is their main source of information on them, meaning that the batfam is basically forced to let bruce work with them to fight the de-aged rogues.
rogues i want to include (so far): the penguin, the riddler, (of course) the joker (i want to find a way to include jerome so so so bad but i don't know how exactly yet), not sure who else as to the rogues.
but i also want to de-age selina and alfred at some point. maybe someone hit the manor at a gala or something. they play that off as when bruce was hit so bruce can walk around gotham without the cops scrambling to find bruce wayne.
#i mean including too many rogues would make it repetitive right? so that might be a good amount#i really just want to write alfred saying “right what's all this then mate?” and the consequential chaos in the batfam#they are so not used to him talking informally#selina would be such a treat to write#the jason parallels!!!!!!#the riddler and penguin would so humanize them in the bats' eyes which is probably a good thing? maybe? i mean the riddler is severely#mentally ill but the penguin is kind of just. a total jerk#to put it lightly#hmm maybe bane?#oh! OOOH!! JIM GORDON#yes yes yes i wanna write a de-aged jim gordon to s5#i love taking characters from s5 cuz it's pulling someone from an active war zone to a time when they're all just. chilling?#the batkids seriously do not know what their dad went through like WOW#gotham tv#gotham tv show#gotham#gotham tv series#batman#gotham!bruce#bruce wayne#gotham!batman#gotham!bruce wayne#tv: gotham#gotham!alfred#gotham!jim gordon#alfred pennyworth#jim gordon#commissioner gordon#captain jim gordon#g!bruce meets batfam
