One of the things I really liked about The Batman (2022) is that it's the first live action film I've seen to really nail how WEIRD Batman is.

I don't mean Bruce Wayne, as a weird sad guy trying to repress childhood trauma with vigilante justice and a bat costume (although the movie also nails that).

I mean that Batman, as an entity, as a concept... is fucking weird. Like, for everyone.

We (the audience) all know Batman as a character. And we all like Batman. We watched his cartoons and read his comics and keep going to his movies because we like Batman. He's cool! He's the world's greatest detective. He's figgin' Batman.

But to the people of Gotham? The Gotham PD? Random crime scene techs doing a sweep for finger prints or whatever? This dude sweeps in dressed as a freaking bat?? And one of the officers is just like "oh hey man, glad you're here. What's your take on all this?"

And the Guy Dressed as a Bat just growls "vengeance hides in the shadows, and beneath the darkness... So do I" before sweeping dramatically out again.

And you're just like ??? did everyone see that? Was that... Is that just something that's gonna happen now?

Apparently that's just what Tuesday is like now. Maybe the Metropolis PD is hiring.

Scary boyfriend privilege? No. Scary sons privilege.

Bruce who can’t go anywhere without his newly adopted ward. He follows Bruce like a sunny shadow, grin always in place.

“Dick, can I hold your hand when we cross the street?”

Dick, very sweetly, “No.”

Bruce sighs, but accepts easily. Some guy scoffs at that and asks Bruce if he’ll let his kid just talk to him like that. His kid. His heart hurts in a very good way.

He’s about to say something, but Dick interrupts him, his teeth bared full, “Weren’t you on the news for hitting an old lady with your car?”

Bruce freezing. Dick goes back to his gameboy. They hold hands when they cross the street.

It’s both scary and comforting how little he changes when he’s an adult.

Jason, on the other hand.

Although he refuses to admit it, he does follow Bruce around, too, when his dad actually has to leave the manor. It’s when Alfred says he needs sun.

“You signed a contract, sir.”

Bruce sighing, “I signed it when I was 4. In black crayon. Those don’t count.”

Damian gasped, as if discovering a vile fact, sending an accusing glare Bruce’s way. “They don’t?”

Bruce needs an excuse to haul ass fast and that’s how Jason ends up chaperoning his socially awkward, disaster of a father in his quest to pick up food.

He’s a titanic presence next to Bruce, glaring off whoever stares a little too long or too appreciatively, strong arms crossed and his eyes hard and sharp.

Bruce gently taps his bicep and he hates the way he melts. “Do you want the chicken nuggets with or without apple slices?”

“Without.”

“Jay.”

“FINE.”

Give Jason his “he asked for No pickles” moment. It has to embarrass Bruce enough to jump in traffic, thought.

Damian has his own league and none of them can really compete with it. I think, during parent’s night, he drags Bruce off to proudly showcase his gallery of portraits.

Bruce is very moved when he realizes they’re almost all him.

There’s portraits of Dick, too, and Alfred, and a comically bad one of Tim. “Damian, they’re very beautiful. Thank you.”

“I painted them with the blood of your enemies.”

“…Thank you.”

Giving battinson the big birb hug he so desperately needs 🫂

[sreppub]

battinson befriends the tiny child playing with his ipad in a corner at this gala. it’s timmy :)

[allineedisonedream]

He has no idea where the kid came from...

AU Where Battinson is Adopted By a 10-Year-Old Dick Grayson >:)

[puppetmaster13u]

Bruce, new to parenting: How long does your ideal hug last?

Dick: 30 to 40 minutes.

Bruce, already carrying him: That's a bit impractical-

Dick: You said ideal, not realistic

Walk with me (proceeds to be delusional)

I rewatched MAWS and The Batman right after the other and instantly got brainworms

It makes no sense but I am master of my own universe and can draw whatever inane thought I have so this exists now

REFERENCE PRACTICE W MY NEW BRUSHESSS (and battinson)

[bbbbbbbbatman]

Here’s how I want robin in the next battinson movie:

The very first scene is Bruce and tiny Dick Grayson sitting across from each other at the dining table, staring each other down in silence, both clearly grumpy about it. Alfred is in the background watching them with concern. The silence lasts about 20 seconds before Dick speaks.

“Let me fight crime.” (said with all the petulance of a pouty 10 year old)

Bruce replies immediately. “No.” (this is clearly an ongoing argument)

Immediately cut to the next scene where Dick, wearing the iconic Robin suit, is having the time of his life swinging across the city while Bruce frantically tries to keep up with him while yelling at him to be careful like an anxious mother

[homarcide-aest]

pov you adopted a kid but you forgot hes not usamerican

[dragonpyre]

Reverse Robin au but the ages aren't changed. Just adoption order.

[bruciemilf]

I think it’d be so funny if Bruce just refuses to disclose the existence of Robin to the league. He knows it’d take less than a minute for them to form a wicked mock club against him.

Except he just? Carries Robin around. Under that endless void that is his cape. Clark pinches the stress point between his brows. “Batman, is that a child under your cape?”

“No.”

“Bruce I can HEAR his heartbeat.”

“I think the long exposure to kryptonite partially damaged your brain. There is no child here, Clark.”

“He’s literally drinking Barry’s coffee right now.”

“He’s WHAT-“

Damian locks himself in his room for the rest of the day. Continuation to this!
