Watching the caped crusader,

Without spoilers it is a 10/10 however (spoilers)

I feel for Alfred and Montoya

Montoya constantly get herself shut down by people like bullock and flask and after all the suffering she goes through at her job, she gets a girlfriend who seems to love and cherish her…

but it’s fucking Harley Quinn

This girl just can’t catch a break

And Alfred oh dear God Alfred

I kind of hate his dynamic with Bruce right now. I’m not that far into the series, but there seems to be less reciprocated affection from Bruce, especially with the whole standing outside his door and saying “you’re going to help me.”

This bruce definitely feels more cynical than other interpretations (more of his trauma peaks through as with the flash backs) so the change dynamic kind of makes sense. It’s not a bad one just getting used to if you’re a fan of older series like me.

Still everything works well and it really is a fun time. Like maws its a fun new take on both Heroes and Villains (even gives the spotlight to people animated fans may not have seen before).

I know the feeling. A majority of people out there still don't have proper surround receivers. I've had 7.0 with HDMI 4K passthrough since 2017 (My current one being a Yamaha RX-V685), and it's safe to say that it usually works better than TV speakers.

As to why I have 7.0 instead of 7.1? I've felt that sound fans underestimate the signal power in modern regular speakers, and blasting a subwoofer is just for bragging rights and will turn the entire neighbourhood against the bragger. Trust me, I've got a neighbour who is obsessed with afterski fake music. He's turned 397 people against him within an area of 400 residents.

(For anyone who wonder what afterski is, it's fake alpine skiers who know nothing about skiing whatsoever, so they just head up to mountain cabins to get extremely drunk and to dance to nonsensical ripoff song versions with extremely ultra-heavy bass.)

You're Grounded Mister

Summary:

A mission gone wrong leaves the Batkids bickering—until Batman grounds them and Danny Fenton, a confused civilian caught in the chaos. This one-shot is based on this post by Shower-Phantom-Ideas

It had all gone downhill fast.

The plan had been Dick’s idea—though Tim and Jason definitely could have pointed out the glaring holes in it, and Damian hadn’t exactly offered his usual dose of cynicism. It was supposed to be a quick, in-and-out operation. Minimal risk, maximum payoff.

But things got complicated when that guy showed up. Just some kid, and not even a vigilante or a rogue. It was supposed to be a straightforward job in Gotham’s shadier district—stop the exchange of a highly dangerous chemical, break up the bad guys, be home in time for breakfast. But, no, some civilian had gotten in the way and distracted the gangsters long enough to mess with their timing.

As Jason would tell it later, “It was just bad luck.” As Bruce would say, “It was complete negligence.”

And as for Danny? Well, he didn’t have much of a say in it. Not that he was about to back down from a bunch of armed gangsters, especially with the Batkids swooping in around him, leaving chaos and knocked-out criminals in their wake. Danny had handled a few of them before they even showed up, quietly taking out the last of them when Bruce finally stepped in.

And now they were here, a tense, heated argument in a dark Gotham alley.

“You should have waited for backup!” Bruce snapped, his voice slicing through their squabbles. “I told you it was a risk to go in alone—especially when we didn’t have all the intel! This is about safety, and clearly—”

“Right, clearly we were fine until you stepped in,” Jason shot back, scowling.

“It would have gone smoothly if someone didn’t just happen to be there,” Dick muttered, clearly feeling defensive.

“It was your idea, Grayson!” Tim hissed, his voice laden with frustration. “Don’t turn this around.”

“Maybe if you’d listened—”

Damian scoffed. “I could have handled them on my own.”

Bruce’s frown deepened, and he turned to Danny, who was awkwardly inching his way toward the exit.

“And don’t think you’re getting out of this,” Bruce said, turning his Batglare on him. “You’re grounded too.”

Danny froze, one foot halfway lifted in a tippy-toe pose. “I… I’m sorry, what?”

The Batkids stopped mid-argument and looked at Danny, then back at Bruce, then at each other, as if piecing something together. Dick’s face morphed from irritation to confusion; Jason’s went slack.

“Uh… Mr. Batman, sir, with all due respect, I’m just some guy,” Danny said slowly, staring at Bruce. “Can… Can Batman even do that?”

“Everyone in the Batmobile,” Bruce said firmly, ignoring Danny’s question. “We’ll discuss this further in the morning.”

Danny, still too stunned to process much beyond “Batman grounded me,” felt himself nodding along. Guess we’re going with it.

The ride was silent and tense. Jason looked broody, arms crossed, staring out the window. Tim rubbed his temples, probably rethinking every tactical choice. Dick was sulking, and Damian, surprisingly, just looked mad at being lumped in with the others. Danny, meanwhile, stayed very still, wedged between Tim and Jason, trying not to breathe too loudly. It was a surreal experience—he was tired, his limbs ached, and his brain was reeling from the absurdity of it all, but it was Batman. The Batmobile wasn’t exactly the place to make his objections.

By the time they reached the Batcave, Danny figured he’d try for some clarity.

“Uh,” he started, looking around at the cavernous space, vast and impressive, filled with tech and lights. “So, do you mind if I, uh, call my family to tell them I won’t be home tonight?”

The entire cave fell silent. Jason froze mid-complaint, Dick and Tim stopped sulking, and Damian’s scowl melted into shock. All four of them stared at Danny, and then slowly, like someone had hit pause, their heads turned to look at Bruce.

He seemed unbothered, glancing at Danny as if this were just standard procedure. But for everyone else, the realization was dawning. Dick was the first to speak, his voice wavering.

“Uh… Bruce?” Dick asked slowly, eyebrows raised. “Did… Did you kidnap a civilian?”

Bruce frowned. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Jason burst out laughing, doubling over, his hands clutching his sides. “Oh, this is gold. He’s not even a rogue, B. He’s just some random guy you told to get in the car!”

Danny held up his hands. “In my defense, it was Batman, okay? Who’s going to not get in the Batmobile when Batman tells you you’re grounded?”

Tim covered his face with both hands, muffling his laugh. Damian scowled, crossing his arms.

“This is embarrassing,” he muttered. “Father, you’re losing credibility by the second.”

Bruce’s expression tightened, clearly irked by the fact that his kids’ attention had wandered from the initial issue. They had disobeyed him, endangered a civilian, and now they were laughing because, okay, maybe he had unintentionally forced said civilian to join them in the Batcave.

He sighed, rubbing his temples, clearly rethinking several recent decisions.

“Alright,” Bruce finally said. “My apologies. You were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and you don’t need to be here. We’ll get you a ride back home.”

Danny blinked, a little surprised. “So, wait, I’m not grounded?”

“No, you’re not grounded,” Bruce replied, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Jason snickered. “Damn, you got off easy. We’re grounded for sure.”

Bruce cleared his throat, and the smiles faded from the other Batkids’ faces. “Yes, you’re grounded,” he said, looking at each of them in turn. “All of you.”

They groaned in unison, but Danny, relieved beyond measure, was already edging toward the door. He nodded a quick thank you to Batman and managed a small, awkward wave to the others.

As he left, he could hear Dick muttering, “Grounded… from what? We’re grown men!”

Jason groaned. “Grounded as in, no solo missions, genius.”

Danny paused, letting the sounds of the Batfamily’s complaints echo behind him as he took the lift back to ground level. He shook his head, chuckling. Only in Gotham. Only with Batman would you end up “grounded” for just existing in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But hey—at least he got a free ride in the Batmobile out of it.

"Tech's sacrifice in "Plan 99" proved he was willing to risk his life for the squad."

... 🤨

You mean, like when he:

Risked his life to jump after Omega into a dark abyss the instant he had (very rapidly) ascertained there was no other way to try saving her (noting he did this when, at that moment, there was not even a guarantee she could be saved)?

Risked his life by entering a death race to save his squad from the impossible situation of being caught between a blackmailer (Cid) and a gangster (Millegi)?

Risked his life by following Echo and Omega to make sure they were safe while at the cargo container crash site on Serreno, despite his crushed femur?

Risked his life by ensuring Echo and Omega, rather than he himself, were the first to be secured in the (relatively) safest area of the cargo hold when the container was released?

Risked his life every single time they were on a mission, by following orders and seeing his role through in order to ensure the squad's success and survival?

Just saying, Tech's sacrifice didn't "prove" anything we didn't already know about him and every other member of the Bad Batch. He and his siblings were willing to give their lives for each other from the very beginning.

A funny fic prompt or idea I'd love to see is the GCPD requesting Bruce Wayne's help gathering insider information from a gangster they can't get to. Bruce Wayne has access and agrees to wear a wire, but he also asks if he's allowed a gun, winks at the tech attaching the bodypack and generally does many things that make them sincerely wonder if he's going to survive this.

warnings: the way of the househusband au, marriage au, crack, domesticity, yoongi unintentionally adopts an apprentice :O

masterlist + disclaimers.

note: in case u didn't know, i'm still currently on my aug-oct vacation (see details in pinned post!) and this post was scheduled in advance :> i has fun with this one 😂 hope u enjoy it and leave ur thoughts about it <3

Yoongi hates Wednesdays.

Wednesdays are usually when his favorite grocery store gets deliveries for fresh produce, and since they're freshly restocked, they tend to price them incredibly high. He usually counters this by using a gift card but then he remembers how he gave away his last remaining gift card to the two policemen from before.

So, yeah, Yoongi hates this particular Wednesday. But he carries on because your fridge is running low on food and he needs to do his weekly grocery run.

He's strolling down the sidewalk, signature 'poodle' apron on and mesh tote bag on his shoulder. He's about a block away from the store when he sees a familiar face.

A face from his past. With blonde hair and a boxy smile.

"Taehyung?"

"Hyung-nim?!"

Taehyung looks at him in shock, his face roughed up and bruised, before practically bursting with tears in relief. He runs up to Yoongi and wraps him in a hug.

"Hyung-nim! It's really you!"

"Don't hug me."

Taehyung pulls away. "Where are you going?"

"On an assignment."

Yoongi pats him on the back before moving to continue his walk to the grocery store. Curious and excited, Taehyung follows him, chatting his ear off.

"Where've you been, hyung? Since you disappeared, the gang's practically in shambles. I've tried looking for you everywhere. Oh, and what's this assignment you're talking about? Is it important—"

Yoongi cuts him off when they arrive at the store's entrance.

"It's very important. And I'm gonna need your expertise."

Taehyung gulps.

"Of course, hyung-nim. Let me help."

Yoongi smiles manically.

"Good. Now let's get to work."

Taehyung fully expected to do some dirty work. In the past, Yoongi always used to ask for his expertise with the computer and other tech stuff. What he didn't expect was for Yoongi to ask him for his expertise on fruit.

"Choose the freshest ones, Taehyung. I trust your judgment."

They stand before the strawberries section, and after a quick discussion about how a strawberry's leaves help tell whether they're ripe or not, Yoongi tells him to choose the best strawberries that can be made into homemade jam.

Taehyung rubs his eyes, looks at his former gangmate, then rubs his eyes again. He stares at the grocery cart full of fresh produce, toilet paper, scented candles, fabric conditioner, and dog food, among others. His eyes then move to his former gangmate's 'poodle' apron and the mesh tote bag on his shoulder.

"What the fuck is this?" he asks, his blood boiling.

"What are you talking about?"

"What the fuck are you doing, hyung-nim?" Taehyung's voice starts to rise. "What's all this? What are you doing playing house?"

He grabs Yoongi by the collar and tries to shake him but his former gangmate remains sturdy.

"The Agust D we know would never be caught dead doing all this, so what the fuck are you doing?!"

And the Agust D that Taehyung knows would've blown up and retaliated by now with how the younger man is treating him. But this Yoongi just grabs Taehyung's hands and pulls them away from his collar.

"Taehyung," Yoongi says calmly, "I'm done with all that."

"W-What?"

Yoongi fixes his top and straightens his apron out.

"I'm a househusband now."

Taehyung gapes at him.

"I'm protecting my turf in my own way," he continues. "You can't protect what's sacred to you through violence."

What?!

Then Taehyung still doesn't understand even when Yoongi makes him help put everything away in the different cupboards. And Taehyung still doesn't understand even when Yoongi makes him help cook up some homemade strawberry jam.

Taehyung doesn't understand.

But Yoongi doesn't give him time to understand before he's finishing up the grocery run and making the younger man help him carry the grocery bags back to the apartment.

But Taehyung finally understands everything when you arrive.

"Yoonie! I'm home!"

Taehyung sees you walk through the front door, greeting your husband hello and asking him where your poodle is. He sees you, all pretty and charming, being doted on by your ex-gangster husband. He sees you, a goddess with ethereal beauty, make someone like Yoongi, who he thinks of as a god, cater to you and respond to your every whim.

Taehyung understands now.

Agust D never really disappeared. He just found a new master to serve.

Bidwell Headcanon:

Grew up in a family full of gangsters, Bidwell actually knows how to combat, if he had to get a 'field work' done for Saxton, he can switch to a active fighter. Although he was mostly hired for handling the company's paperwork as if he's a vulnerable office clerk, but he is not. That's why Saxton once ordered him to do a tech heist in order to make new weapons for the mercs.

Y'know, it’s almost a shame we didn’t get some more episodes about what the individual Bad Batch members are like when captured.

Love and kisses to the fic authors who have filled that gap, but here are some headcanons:

Hunter: he was mostly a stressy baby when caught in canon. When the whole team was there he seemed more confident. Bit depressed when Crosshair got him at the end of season 1, but he didn’t really get a chance to show off. On his own with some reassurance that the others are fine he might have done better

Omega: literally captured the most. The first time she was scared but damn does her confidence go up after that. She befriends/practices psychological warfare on a gangster and gets into Hemlocks walls almost immediately. She's not sorry and it will absolutely happen again. She’s living her best life.

Wrecker: largely unbothered when it was the Zygerrians and Kaminoans but pretty upset at the end of s2 cause he was injured and couldn’t do anything. However his delightful essay on rotational force in the s3 finale was more him. In better circumstances he’d probably just speedrun most defenses having the time of his life. Did someone time him?

Crosshair: bit complicated cause we didn’t spend much time with him pre order 66 and when he was finally in jail he was pretty determined to just stay there. He’s meant to be patient and also snarky, so probably just sit there til he got bored, critique any attempts at torture and then take whatever opportunity presented itself to get a weapon. He also feels like a “get in the walls” kind of guy

Now we’re on to the guys I wish we’d had an episode of.

Tech: leave him alone for five seconds and he’s gonna be in your shit. He literally cannot help himself. You could strip him naked and he’s gonna find a way to get in the walls, the computers, the plumbing. You are screwed. Don’t capture Tech. Probably primary instigator of Omega

Echo: he’s not locked in with you, you’re locked in with him. I was a bit on the fence about whether Tech or Echo would be more unhinged when captured, but Echo is the one with PTSD and three combat-ready metal limbs. And he appears to be very comfortable using them for all the purposes. If you can catch him at all, and the show suggests that’s quite difficult, he’s gonna use what his mama the Techno Union gave him and make you regret it. And then he’s gonna steal all your intel and make everyone you know regret it too.
