Decided to make this Saturday a Caturday!! Bad puns aside, felt like dumping all my cat-themed drawings in one post. There sure are a lot of them, tho most of these star the kitten vigilantes that the batkids might interact with in this au. First drawing showcases Kitrina Falcone aka Catgirl, who I already explained in this post. Looks like she's going through a string of bad luck with the batkids, they have no tolerance for her antics lol. Bottom right is Catgirl hanging out with the other young cat vigilantes, Kitten and Tom Bronson. If your wondering why Tom is dressed like that, well...

Looks like Catman aka Thomas Blake has decided to take on his own apprentice, and has picked Tom for the job. Say hello to Catboy, Tom is very confused about all this, Ted (Wildcat) looks pissed lmao. I liked Catman btw, he was pretty great in Secret Six, the very definition of a glow-up. I should re-read Secret Six honestly, I did enjoy it but I was mostly focusing on Black Alice tbh. Also was anyone else shocked that Catman was an actual DC character?? I genuinely thought that the Fairly Odd Parents show make him up to parody Adam West's Batman. There's also another Catman from the 1940s but it seems unrelated to the DC version. The more you know I guess.

Here's a Catwoman vs Catman standoff! The cats with their kitten sidekicks, Tom is so done with this. Down below we see Catgirl playfully (and remorselessly) steal poor Tom's cash. She's a goofball sometimes. It kinda seems she might have a bit of a crush on Tom but he doesn't seem interested, also there might be a bit of an age gap too, now that I think about it? She might be 16-18 to his 21-22 I think? I guess the age gap is lower in this au so it's not relevant anyways.

Decided to expand (head-canon lets be real) on this random obscure character, Kitten. I made up a name for her, Felicity Fauve, I wanted to give her a cat-like name for her but not make it too obvious or on the nose, hope it sounds natural enough. You can see her bothering all the Cat-themed heroes and villains she can find. She's been shown to be a sidekick to Cheetah and Catwoman, hope she finds the role model she's looking for. Her being a sidekick to Catman feels like it could be a gag towards the 1940s version now that I think about it.

Bottom left doodle shows her 'hanging out' with Catwoman and her sidekicks. Catgirl seems very territorial concerning Kitten, Holly seems very concern about it, Selina doesn't care in the least. Not her problem!

More Cats! Here's Catwoman showing the ropes to Tom, who's taking on the name Catlad. This is honestly me being inspired by all the fanart of the batboys taking on fanon Catlad mantle. Mostly its Tim I think, thought it would be fun to put Tom in the role. I think he would prefer this over Catboy no doubt. Ted still wouldn't be happy about all this, don't teach kids to steal Selina!! Btw did you know Ted mentored Selina in fighting? There was a 4 issue mini with her 'working' with Wildcat that revealed that, short but fun read.

There's also bonus doodles of Pantha and Artemis Crock. Artemis is very different from the tv show version, like shockingly so. Reading through the JSA comics, I was really taken aback from how she differed, like she was an actual villain here (also Jade isn't related to her, tho I knew that early on reading the tt comics). I still liked her but I think I like the show version more tbh. Also I wanted to put her mother, the Tigress on here but there wasn't enough room here. Maybe another time, I enjoyed her in Young All-Stars btw.

Here's some Yolanda and Tom shenanigans down below!

Yolanda thinks Tom's werecat form is adorable, I agree!

Final doodle, here's Tom drawn with some watercolor pens. Didn't really enjoy using them, but I should try to expand my skill anyways right? Doodle under that is Yolanda and Tom as actual cats, how cute.

Well I hoped you like all these cats, pet a cat for me today!

Juan likes to joke that he fathered Ted’s mini-me I think. This joke predates her becoming Wildcat

JSA All-Stars #2

Girl your name is Tigress not panther and more importantly if anyone is a panther it's him not you since a panther is just a big cat that's all black.

JSA Member Tournament: Round One, Part Ten

[leoruby-draws]

Having something a little different here, not really introducing a new team member per say, but a friend and ally of sorts. Here's Tom Bronson aka Tomcat, son of Ted Grant aka Wildcat! I love cats, look how many are in this pic, everyone's having a fun time (except Grant lol).

Tom debuted in Justice Society of America 2007, which I enjoyed tho it lacked the space for all those characters (a common problem I noticed in a lot of earth 2/jsa stuff), Since he was introduced in the first issue, you would think that he'd be a pretty important character onwards. But alas, he rarely got any focus past the early few issues, even in JSA All-Stars he wasn't given a lot of page time. Then new52 hit and he got erased, not sure if he's been re-introduced back yet.

He and Ted had a pretty good relationship in the book, Tom never blamed Ted for not being in his life and even actively keep up the distance as an adult. Up until Vandal Savage tries to attack them at least. Here in the TrWh au, it can be assumed Tom was discovered at an earlier age (he's 11 to Jason's 10 btw).

Also I said up there that Tom isn't a new team member, but I did wanted to do that originality. That's because in the comics, Tom really didn't like fighting at all when Ted meet him. And that's because Tom has a secret ability to transform into a werecat, something he inherited from his mother. Ironically he keep it secret from her, maybe that'll change in this au.

Ted seemed to help Tom get over his hang-up over fighting somehow, it's not really explained how exactly (like I said, Tom didn't get much focus past tho early issues).I wished that he kinda keep up his reluctant pacifism, it's a unique outlook in a world full of heroes and villains fighting each other.

So at the moment he's a non-combatant ally of the Outlaws, maybe that'll change later who knows.

Since I'm introducing him at at an earlier age, he's still in that anti-fighting mindset, and prefers to stay out of trouble. So he can't really help the team in combat issues, but they can still hang out and have fun in other ways.

Tom's tries to come off as cool and standoffish, but that seems to be a way to hide his skittish and kind-hearted nature. He's been feeling stressed and lonely, esp with how his mother is currently sick and bedridden. Perhaps some friends will do him good!

Here's Tom hanging out with the other Wildcats, his father and Yolanda Montez. Tom is fun to draw, esp in his werecat form. I might be making him more like a cat than a panther, but cats are so fun to draw. I'm basing some this of my mom's own cat, a black cat like Tom.

I really liked Yolanda, she had a real aura of confidence and was really outspoken about what she wanted. I admit I might be a bit biased, since I'm also a Latina as well (¯\_(ツ)_/¯). You can see her trying to 'help' Tom with training to fight, he doesn't seem to enthused with the idea. There's also Ted showing affection with his son, look at the mini cat suit, Tom is so done lol.

More of Tom spending time with Yolanda, they have fun together. Btw Yolanda might already be Wildcat at this point or at least just about to, a bit earlier than in canon but why not?

Jason messes with Tom, he can't help himself. Tom doesn't seem to know how to react with Jason sometimes, esp when Jason jokes around with him. But the jokes never feel too mean-spirited so it's not too much of a bother.

If you ever read Fruits Basket, then you know there's this character with the ability to call forth cats to him. Tom doesn't quite have that power but cats seem to gravitate to him anyways. Looks like Jason called in a favor for his little brother Damian.

Here's a comic that I'd meant to go on a little longer but couldn't think up of what to come next. It's meant to show how Tom meets the team and decides to become friends. Tom seems unsure and almost insecure about why he's being 'recruited' to be friends. Rose seems surprised at Tom's stance but Eddie seems happy to make another friend. But why does Jason want to be friends?

You know there's been some meta about how Jason probably wouldn't have mind not being Robin and just be the civilian son of Bruce Wayne. YMMV on whether you can agree with that or not, I can see reasoning for it tho it should be noted Jason was really ecstatic to be Robin. I'll keep it ambiguous on whether or not Jason would want to hang up the cape, but I keep this reasoning in mind for his interactions with Tom. Tom not wanting to fight at all is a viewpoint Jason has not really come across in his interactions with heroes. As said in the comic, he finds it 'interesting'. Perhaps he was also drawn to Tom's conviction in his ideals as well, maybe Jason finds it kinda admirable in a way.

The team Jason, Rose and Eddie made is in some ways a place to have fun and hang out, to escape from lonely and unhappy lives. It the same reason why other members of the team joined in, to just do things their own way and on their own time. Members come and go at their leisure (the team have multiple places to hang but no official headquarters) so it's a fairly casual and unrestricted type of team. Having a member who doesn't even fight is not really a problem. Though Tom sometimes feels lonely when team members go out on combat missions, and he gets left behind.

There's also the little detail of the team being 'unofficial', I don't think I ever shown that info before. Though I'll probably talk about that for another time.

Well, hope you liked that!
