Nightwing, lecturing the Titans after a failed mission: I’m extremely disappointed in you. Frankly, I expected a higher level of team efficiency and coordination, but evidently, I was wrong.
Red Robin: Nightwing, please, we can talk about this.
Nightwing: yeah, later, but I don’t have the time or the words right now to express myself adequately without saying something I’ll regret sooo—
—I hired this 12 year old to do it for me!
Robin, kicking down the door, yelling with his whole chest: What the actual FUCK was that!?!
Nightwing: I’ll leave you in his very capable hands. Good luck.
Red Robin, softly, with feeling: shit.
Wonder Girl: LMAO, wait a little kid?
Robin, pointing at her: Perfect! A volunteer!
#I’d so prefer them introducing Damian to the Titans like this instead of whatever the fuck DC keeps tryin to do#Tim makes any move and Damian’s in the corner clicking his tongue taking notes for Dick#if fans are committed to the batfam really being a family#then Damian has to be a snitch#that’s his birthright as the youngest#not the cowl#Damian accepts bribes and his services can be bought for the right price#he’s an assassin after all lol#yelling at Tim and Tim’s friends tho? 100% free of charge it’s his honor#it’s his esteemed privilege#he’s not the little brother Tim deserves but the little brother he needs 😤🫡🦇#dick: I never said thank you#damian: and you’ll never have to#damian wayne#lol plz don’t take this seriously

Prompt:
Instead of Dick or Tim, Red Hood straight up goes for kidnapping Bruce Wayne and keeping him hostage just to see how desperate the birds get in trying to find him.
It’s a foolproof plan. Batman won’t blow his cover unless absolutely necessary, and “Brucie” would never know how to slip away from a crime lord of Red Hood’s caliber. It’s foolproof. It’s perfect. Jason can keep dropping hints and make threats towards the birds and watch Bruce squirm without consequences if he plays this right.
But then “Brucie” keeps begging him not to hurt his kids…
#Jason miscalculated#seeing Batman frightened is one thing#but without the cowl he’s just Bruce#and Bruce was Jason’s DAD#it’s pretty hard to see him plead like that#and ffs Jason was just suggesting MILD torture with Tim#now stop CRYING Brucie omG#Jason is totally NOT close to tears himself no fucking way#meanwhile dick and Tim:#SCREAMING IN DISTRESS#jason todd#batfamily#batfam#dick grayson#robin#tim drake#bruce wayne#red hood#Nightwing#batdad#prompts#fic#titans tower au does this count?#enemy to caretaker for certain tho#or more like#enemy to son#or enemies to family?#huh#Batman#fanfiction

DpxDc fic where Danny is just haunting the Bats and providing memes to the internet whilst being invisible
Because I read a fic ('the curious case of who lives in the walls' by RaccoonRobyn over on ao3) that has Danny chilling in the Wayne Manor's walls and commenting on the Wayne's habits and goings on and i just
Tl;dr danny has a twitter page where he invisibly follows the bats and documents their funny mistakes like a nature documentary.
One day a Gothamite spots a new twitter page on their feed. Its not got a lot of posts, but they're all pictures. And the first one is... Nightwing. Lying on the concrete, face-down, with another bat or bird very obviously laughing at him.
They think nothing of it. They compliment the photoshop for its realism, and move on. Except there's more pictures. All of them, every last one of them, has the Bats and Birds suffering from a trip, fall, a gaffe, a misstep, anything and everything.
And then they find a video
Its clearly a handheld or phone camera, pointed at Robin in an alleyway. Someone starts talking, in a very poor attempt at sounding like David Attenborough, narrating like a wildlife documentary. "Here we see the youngest of the Bat-brood partaking in one of its more private behaviors, unseen and unknown by its kin."
And Robin just. Steps further into the alleyway and gets swarmed by stray cats, all begging for food. He grins and starts feeding them, all whilst narration continues, talking about this like its an animal's behavior.
And they have more. So many more.
A video of Red Hood. He does a fancy gun twirl when nobody's around, bobbles it, and accidentally fires into the ground. He picks it up and acts like nothing happened. But the video sees all.
A video of Batman on a gargoyle on a skyscraper, with shaky footage from clearly around a corner, but on the same level. "Commentary on this specimen has been added in post, for reasons you will soon see. Batman, the patriarch of the Bat-Brood, is incredibly elusive to research, and for good reason." In the video, the camera jolts a little and Batman turns suddenly to the sound of rocks moving. The camera goes still, and Batman scans the area, seemingly seeing nothing. Then, his white eyes turn blue, and he looks directly into the camera. Footage ends.
The acc posts a screenshot of a dm that is very clearly an Oracle sockpuppet. She has sent something along the lines of 'how have you obtained this footage, this is dangerous,' etc etc. His response is 'i am in ur walls lol'
He is not aware of the level of Bat Paranoia this brings out.
#dpxdc#dcxdp#dc x dp prompt#dc x dp#dp x dc#writing prompt#he's just bein a little silly!#its not his fault the bats become paranoid of invisible drone cameras or stalkers!#for clarification#bat's eyes turned blue bc he switched his cowl to thermal vision#and then he saw a human shaped cold spot and went '!!!'

If Bruce is covering as Nightwing right now, who's acting as Batman in Gotham?
Tim: ok so any takers for the cowl?
*everyone looks at Jason as he is the second oldest*
Jason: oh no way. Absolutely not. Tim?
Tim: after evil gun Batman? ha. Nope. Plus DC doesn't pay much attention to me to make a good story about that.
Damian: may I-
Everyone: no.
Stephanie: OH I COULD BE PURPLE BATMAN!
Cassandra: I want to be Batman if Steph is my Robin
*everyone considers it*
Tim: that... isn't a bad idea actually. I like it.
#They end up having “Batman shifts” for fun#they all get a turn of the cowl every week#criminals are absolutely terrified because they don't know if they'll get the gun batman who quotes shakespeare#or the small batman with a sword#duke feels left out so he got himself a yellow batman suit#that's the scariest one of all#because that batman has powers#technically the batfamily doesn't need to do this since there's more than enough of them to protect gotham#but it was for the plot#batman#bruce wayne#nightwing#dick grayson#jason todd#red hood#tim drake#red robin#stephanie brown#spoiler#cassandra cain#orphan#black bat#batgirl#barbra gordon#oracle#damian wayne#robin#duke thomas#signal#batfamily

I'm not sure what else I can do for the apparently VORACIOUS Spies In Dresses fandom, but might I offer you the original sketches in this trying time
#valve#steam#tf2#team fortress 2#tf2 spy#the spy#drawn feverishly at like 11PM as I was rushing to get all of this out the door last week#this idea was sitting on my reference board for like a week and I kept thinking “well no way I'm gonna get to do this one”#but the team was entirely on board god bless 'em#glad the fandom appreciates the details like that little sliver of flesh between the dress and the cowl#the sweetheart neckline#the ✨mesh✨#y'all get it

i've been thinking about Bruce and how he designed his suit. ive never read a DC comic ever but i saw someone post a panel from an issue where bruce melts the gun that killed his parents into a chest plate to protect his heart and thats justice or something On That Note im not sure if this is canon but i know i've read about how when Martha and Thomas got shot Thomas' jaw was shot off and the thought of Bruce using the gun that killed his parents to protect him while he avenges their memory while also leaving his jaw to be the most vulnerable part of his batsuit makes me feel things i cant articulate
#i think frownyalfred and/or bruciemilf have written Thomas' the jaw getting shot off#its just crazy that he goes through all this effort to protect his city and bring his parents to justice#but he can still die exactly how his father did everytime he puts puts the cowl on#im not sure if this makes any sense but i have Feelings#the hc of this is still cool in my brain#bruce wayne#batman#the waynes

DP x DC prompt [16]
Danny has been with the Wayne’s for a while now and his status as a halfa is starting to affect some things he comes in contact with a little bit.
At first he thought this only happened back in his old home in Amity Park because the ectoplasm samples were kept in the fridge, and though that does speed up the process, it turns out Danny causes the same things to happen just fine on his own. It just takes a lot longer.
This means he now occasionally has to replace or decontaminate some of his things every once in a while. and with the electronics the same applies but usually the protections that Tucker has made do the trick too.
Danny has been very careful, he never borrows anything that’s highly susceptible to ecto-contamination from the others and whenever he needs something from the kitchen he just goes to Alfred (he really doesn’t want to see how the old man might react to the coffee machine starting to act weird because of Danny). Just, the last thing Danny wants to do is inconvenience the Wayne’s by ecto-contaminating something of theirs.
It’s really only when Danny slips back into vigilante-ism that things go sideways.
And Danny really tried. His obsession is space, not heroism, so he figured he’d be fine just focussing on his education. But he kinda forgot about the fact that he just really really loves being a hero.
He loves the thrill, the danger. He loves giving a smackdown and just in general having a good fight, he loves helping people, he loves being a force of good. And yeah, he kinda also likes the praise, but nothing weird and overbearing (some people go way too far in their hero worship, but that’s a story for another day)
So after some back and forth and arguments with Bruce who, contrary to popular belief, was absolutely not thrilled that his latest traumatized kid who was being kept safe in the mansion so far now decided that no, he wants to be part of the family business too please.
Danny eventually threatens to just go out anyway without any of his help and that just gives Bruce flashbacks to the time when he had just taken Dick as his ward. Not to mention some of his other kids and… dammit.
Well then… Danny can go explain things to Jason himself once he finds out and is probably going to be mad about it, Bruce is not taking the blame this time.
So Danny (name pending, he could just go with Phantom again, but he also wouldn’t mind using something bird or bat related) gets back into the game once again! And that’s fine that’s cool. But back to the original point.
Danny figured that he would just do what he’s been doing so far with any bat gadgets as well, and maybe it would be even less of a problem cause he’s pretty sure that these things break a lot more often because of all the fights and stuff.
What Danny had not really thought about though is potential intense high emotion situations. Like for very specific example; Scarecrow taking an obsessive interest in him because of Danny’s ghostly ability to feed on fear (somewhat) and the situation getting out of hand, him getting very hurt, Batman having to carry him out of there while Danny was kinda bleeding a bit (a lot). Bruce being worried and Danny wanting to be anywhere but there anymore and-
Well, you get the point.
So, take all that and add high tech bat armor and what you get is suddenly sentient batsuit.
It actually took a bit for anyone to catch on that something was going on, but it was eventually figured out. and once that was the case Danny couldn’t really help his seemingly endless stream of apologies.
But how can anyone ever blame him for bleeding out on Bruce and the weird reanimative properties of said blood making it so Bruce’s suit can now “talk”
Bruce described it more as like a martian mind link, which would explain why only he could hear things. it’s probably only for the wearer.
It can’t move on it’s own, it needs someone to wear it. But it can sense things and react for the wearer and honestly all that alone is more than enough reason to find a way to exorcise it… if not for the whole,
“but if it’s a sentient ecto entity now we can’t just ‘kill’ it, we literally abolished the anti ecto acts just so that can’t be done anymore”
it’s probably a good thing the suit has grabbed all the ‘Batman’ and made that what it is. All the core values are there, so there isn’t going to be any risk of it killing someone at least.
Still though… what to do now?
#dpxdc#dcxdp#danny phantom#danny fenton#dc x dp#dp x dc#batman#bruce wayne#dp x dc prompt#dp x dc crossover#I love living armor situations in fics#maybe they can move BAT from the suit and just put him in the computer instead#Jason probably had a internal screaming moment when he saw the white eyes of Batman's cowl glow Lazarus green instead#maybe way later he figures out that the reason why it's always such a relief to put on a new Red Hood helmet after he breaks the last one#is cause he keeps ecto contaminating his own stuff

Just so you're aware, when everyone thinks Batman is dead they absolutely do know that Nightwing is the head of the Bats in Gotham.

Thinking about Bruce when Tim became Robin.
He always had anger in him, but this one is different. This anger has grief in it. This anger, his heart made for Tim alone.
‘Why do you want to be here,’ he thinks, biting down on his teeth so hard he can hear the bone crack. ‘Go away. Go away go away go away.’
The Polaroids in Tim’s tiny hands don’t mean anything; Not to him. They’re like a physical challenge from Gotham herself.
A reminder he’s just Bruce Wayne, and that nothing to her. She killed his name before, and she can do it again.
But, most of all, Bruce wants to bury himself in Batman. He can’t lose that. Even if the symbol doesn’t mean justice anymore. It meant nothing the moment he put Jason in the ground.
“I’m not your father,” his words are knives and hisses and Tim forces himself not to flinch, “ I don’t like you, I don’t care about you, I won’t wait for you.”
Bruce leaned forward, his face reflecting in Tim’s big eyes, not full of the admiration he had for Batman all these years. But fear for the man behind him.
“I’m your Batman. I bite.”
Maybe he can’t stop Tim from beating him. But he can make him regret he won.
#god I’m just thinking of the raw grief in bruce the first time Tim dressed as Robin#and the resentment for tim because he wants to be here for BATMAN but batman can be anybody. Jason loved HIM.#but BULLSHIT!!! bullshit. bruce could put anyone in the cowl and Tim would know that’s not him and he’d demand bruce work with him#anyway. bruce refusing to get close and allow himself to get attached to Tim at the start#bruce wayne#tim drake#dc#dc comics#text#batman#text post#batfamily
