4am Cryptid Batfam Idea

Just had a sleep deprived au idea of Constantine rambling about Gotham and mentioning how it's a cesspool of curses and magic races hidden and how there's three big monster Families who run everything.

The catch is that the three families are in fact the Waynes, the Bats, and the Malones. No one knows that they're the same people, and Constantine was not aware that Batman is in the same room- and he is about to have a great time with his kids fucking with the league.

I love fics that are like "oh... you know--" *glances side to side furtively* "the Malones?" *shudders* "they're the worst of the worst. some say they aren't even human. blah blah blah. if there's any crime family you don't want to cross, it's the Malones. their influence is unparalleled. You'd be dead before you could feel the satisfaction of betrayal." meanwhile Matches is just Bruce Wayne in a fake mustache and glasses. Peak comedy. kissing you on the lips

Thoughts on the Malones?

Plot wise I think it is SO interesting, because the outsider pov of the Malones as a crime family can take so many routes of good and evil and what have you.

Like, I remember reading a short fic about Dick’s alter Malone and the betrayal his partners/coworkers felt because it was HIS alter that they were trying to take down and he had been playing them all along. 🙊

THAT is so good. That uncertainty of who you are really dealing with and believing you know who you are facing — that is such a good twist and I love that.

But outside of plot.

I honestly think it is THE funniest thing ever.

Cause the batfam are a crime family.

They are a legal crime family and an illegal crime family. But you’ll never guess which one. 🫵🏼

When Jason starts building his crime lord career, people start inexplicably comparing him to Matches Malone. They have the same mannerisms, the same fighting styles and a similar build. Some rogues even have theories that they're the same guy.

So when ever Matches is mentioned, red hood mutters "fuck that guy" under his breath and since Bruce puts his whole batussy into his personas, he's starts reciprocating that energy. All the rogues are scrambling to find out what happened to cause this beef. The entire Gotham underground now has to pick a side between one of their own who they've worked with and gotten to know over the years versus the new up and coming crime lord that's offering jobs and improving their lives. While Jason is wondering what he can do to stop being compared to Bruce, Bruce is trying to be a supportive parent (which means making sure the rogues don't turn on J) while protecting his persona he's been curating for years.

That names not quite right anymore, is it?

This is like right after the end of oot,,, drew this a while back and never finished it but I saw a post today that reminded me of it so I decided to just post it,,, is not much but is something

[greystend]

Batman, panicked by how much the villain knows about him and Jason, decides to infiltrate the Red Hood's gang with his Matches Malone's identity

Jason *oh shit he found out* : wtf wtf wtf is this a joke ? Are you making fun of me ???

Matches!Bruce *oh fuck he's even more unhinged than planned* : ... I don't understand, boss ?

Jason, struggling to find his words in way his men won't understand : you really thought I wouldn't recognize my own fa- urgh I mean genito- wait that not- hum, the guy that raised me ???

Matches!Bruce *wait oh shit the OG Matches Malone had a kid ???* : wait... *I don't even know his name!!* chum, I had to make sure it's really you, I wasn't sure, you understand ?

And then their relationship get better

except Jason is "argh I hate you but also you kinda made the effort of meeting me in my turf and also you didn't say anything about the killing so perhaps..."

and Bruce is like,"Oh shit I accidentally adopted the Red Hood, and also it's my fault his real father is dead, except he doesn't know that and must think Matches just abandoned him one day without any explanation. Also I should really figure out his name at some point"

The Cast - the younger Malones

The Malones,

Are a large, happy little sort-of-tight knit magic family. They have a wealth of interesting history (courtesy of their matriarch), and much more to go before their story is told.

The family is, as of several offscreen (onscreen) incidental events, now run by the leading and founding matriarch,

Alexandria Malone, oldest of 14 siblings (and counting?) and powerful wizard-witch-spellcaster whatever ts4 calls them. After showing promise in the practice at a young age (and being the first and thus far only in her family line to show a proficiency at it), she went off to study the art at the... magical world in Glimmerbrook, where she met her then-spouse now urn Morgyn Ember, who promptly died of a entirely out-of-my-control car wreck on the front driveway of their wonderful shared home. Ironically enough, Alexandria began her journey as a spellcaster in a desperate bid to try to undo the tragic drownings of her twin sisters, but fell unable to help her beloved at the final hour. She is now concerned with continuing her studies, and looking after their five children.

Morgyn Malone Jr, usually not sporting chest hair, is the eldest of the young siblings, and is characterized by being a dastardly goofball, unconcerned with following his parent's magical lineage and fulfilling his destiny as some grand spellcaster. He is more concerned with the here-and-now, which is ironic because he is failing all of his classes.

Klaudia Malone differs from her older brother by being quite enthusiastic about her family line, at least up until the point where you get her talking about vampires, of which she's far more interested in than dusty old spellcasters. She's bubbly, likeable, and completely obsessed with romance, which doesn't aid her ongoing obsession with vampires, and, well, the desire to become one, even if it would mean giving up her capacity to become a spellcaster.

Klaude Malone is the black sheep of the family, introverted and moody, mostly because he is a werewolf, he may or may not be Klaudia's twin (I forgot). Though he has a tough (and ugly) exterior, he does care deeply for his pet hamster and isn't the most enthusiastic about his transformation into a werewolf (which he is hiding unsuccessfully from the rest of his family). His story is a mirror to his sister, though unlike her he has quickly come to regret his fascination and subsequent transformation into a werewolf. Perhaps he could find a cure? Assuming a fate not unlike his father's not befall the unwilling pooch.

Evan Malone is the smuggest of the Malone siblings, despite his unfortunate genetics. Fashionable and well-liked, he's the most popular of them by far, at least alongside his slightly-older sister Klaudia, probably owed to the fact he has an easier to get along with personality than his trickster brother, and broody werewolf... other brother. Of all the siblings, he is perhaps the most bound for success, unconcerned with any supernatural drama and focused on his own future career after school. But only time will tell.

Kari Malone is the youngest of all the siblings, and is... fairly unconcerned with any of the drama going on around her. She's focused more on her schooling and sporting events, having a small but comfortable group of friends she choses to rely on rather than bother with her messy family. She is unworried with her future for the time being, and, like with her slightly-older brother, only time will tell where she will choose to take her life.

TAYLOR SWIFT & POST MALONE Fortnight Music Video (2024)

[puppetmaster13u]

So I am rotating the batfamily, but not like, civilian or vigilante. I am slowly rotating them all having a Malone-sona of sorts that is their in to organized crime.

Like you can't tell me people wouldn't start noticing this family that the bats, the literal cryptids and monsters of Gotham, don't even touch and lets continue to operate despite taking the older crime families apart.

And to Gotham that screams power.

Alfred = Albert “Old Al” Malone I wanna say that he doesn't go out as 'Old Al' often, but gives off Godfather sort of vibes. Usually sitting there with an old cane (that definitely has a sword, they're all dramatic like that lol) half in the dark with a cup of tea or other drink. He gets to stretch his acting skills and honestly the kids definitely had a say in the persona. Old Al is something they all made together and they have fun implying so much fun shit.

Kate = Mary “Madam” Malone She definitely gives off 'snap your spine over her knee if not for the fact it would get your blood all over her clothes' vibes. Stylized nails, hair up in fishtail braids or ponytails or whatever, looks like she could tear out ones throat and they'd thank her. It's a running gag that she's in finances, even if no one in the underbelly believes it.

Bruce = “Matches” Malone I mean, it's classic Matches (though most probably assume that Matches isn't his real name) who seems rather chill until someone breaks the rules. Gives off vibes that he doesn't usually get his own hands dirty but will do so to make a point, and enjoy doing it. He sometimes uses Matches to check in on places he can't as a shadowy cryptid, and it's not like the lower income areas would fully trust Brucie Wayne.

Barbara = Madison “Maddie” Malone Now let's be honest, Barbara enjoys messing with people, she enjoys knowing every little thing as Oracle, and she definitely does that as Maddie. The thing is, no one knows how she learns about things, other criminals search for a traitor, for a leak, for anything, and get nothing. Which is utterly terrifying. Because there has to be some sort of information network, there has to be. And somehow they're so good that they're indistinguishable to any others.

Dick = Micheal “Mikey” Malone Honestly Dick uses this chance to get into a bunch of fights just for fun. Flirts a bit more freely but doesn't really have an interest in actually getting with someone. Just has funs and is known for throwing his own parties that usually end in free-for-all brawls. He absolutely loves being able to have parties that are the opposite of galas he's usually dragged into.

Cass = Molly Malone She's quiet and graceful, but she takes it to unnerving levels as Molly. Looks slim but carries guns on her at all time to better differentiate between Cassandra Wayne, Black Bat, and Molly Malone. Everyone knows if you need a weapon, guns, meelee, whatever, she's the one you go to. Gotham help you if you cross her though.

Jason = Peter “Petey” Malone Where Molly Malone goes, everyone knows Petey will be there as well. Jason absolutely adores the time he gets to do so, it's his turn to be silent and dramatic. Everyone can recognize the jagged scar over his neck, they can recognize it from corpses the Bats have gotten their talons on. Honestly he's delighted in being able to be Cass' enforcer of sorts and just have a good fight. Even if he complains about how making his Malone mute makes it where he can't quote Shakespeare like he wants to.

Steph = “Mia” Malone Ah yes, the explosive Malone. The one who has more arson charges than Firefly. Or at least she would if she was caught, but the entire Underbelly knows it was her. Steph is living her best life being able to pull all sorts of pranks and crazy shit and takes several ideas from Harley. Honestly she probably smells like gasoline or smoke all the time, and definitely put glitter in her hair. Maybe even has red hair as a Malone as well.

Tim = Alvin “Al” Malone He still goes by Alvin Draper too, which results in half the underbelly thinking that Draper is his middle name. Honestly he's having the best time, everyone knows to come to him for forgeries and less than legal identities, which he loves to create. I mean just look at how many new identities he creates for himself alone. He enjoys this type of thing, and hey, it's so easy to keep track of whose identity is fake when you're the one who made them. Plus it also lets him do good for those on the run for good reasons, a way to make sure people are safe.

Duke = Dennis “Denny” Malone Everyone knows Denny was adopted, but y'know what, I bet they don't care. And you know Duke is utterly insane, like jump off a bridge to escape the cops and create the We are Robin gang insane. And he gets to play that up as Denny. He will put forth the most batshit ideas and actually pull them off. I bet he uses his future-sight to cheat at different games and pool tables and all sorts of things, but no one can ever prove it. Because there is no proof, and the other people playing just has to deal with it.

Damian = “Mini M” Malone The little baby of the family, who everyone knows the older Malones absolutely dote over. This is his chance to act like an actual child, just with a hint of art theft. Hey, it wasn't like they got it legally either, so it's free game, especially if they weren't taking proper care of the art or a pet. He's just pleased to get to have even more pets, and that Goliath his demon dragon-bat gets to go on walkies.

Jarro = Jadan “Lil J” Malone Now Jarro is delighted to have a third mech, and is even more delighted for people to believe Damian (or technically M jr) and him are twins. Gives off someone is going to die- of fun with Mini M, and honestly enjoys being able to use his natural telepathy to be a small horror movie child that knows too much. Like will stare up at someone with wide eyes covered in blood and the others in Gotham's underbelly still aren't sure if the blood was his or someone elses. (it was neither)

================================================

Honestly I might write a oneshot or something for the Cryptid Batfam focusing on just them as the Malones family.
