#sometimes you’re a genius billionaire about to ruin the world in 5-10 years

[frownyalfred]

i have no idea what the setup for it would be, but the idea of a fic in which gotham simultaneously learns that BATMAN and NIGHTWING, widely considered two of the most capable people in the world, are college dropouts AND that HARLEY QUINN was batman's classmate (and also that harley knows his identity, apparently? she insists she doesn't but no one is buying that he turned up to classes in the cowl) refused to leave my brain, and seemed like the kind of premise you'd get a kick out of.

This reminds me of the Facebook spam “Mark Zuckerberg was a college drop out!!” Because yeah, technically he was. But there’s a big difference between your buddy dropping out of community college because he didn’t like getting up early and Bruce Wayne, who dropped out of medical school to become a ninja and work through his trauma on a mountain somewhere.

I’m sure there’s a lot of Gothamites who play the “but Batman is a college dropout too!” card with their buddies 😅
