have u read any of Duke's comics? if so what's your favorite arc? I Really love the cursed wheel which I know is not everyone's fav but I just love the way that duke and Bruce have their mentor/mentee relationship they're so sassy to each other and they really enable each other's dumbass impulses XD
I still gotta read that one, that sounds so fun!!! I think the last one I read was the one where Duke was getting into a fight with some we are Robin people and trying to steal some joker serum. I don’t actually remember which comic that was.
I’m still sort of new to his character (I’ve been read ing We Are Robin and been learning through fan osmosis) so if you have any recommendations please give 🙏
Oh I’ve also been reading Batman and The Signal
May I sample this cake when it is finished baking?
Bruce about to reveal his identity to the JL
Bruce: “I’m going to do something that may traumatize two of you. I am not sorry.”
Oliver: “oh come on Batman you identity isn’t that special.”
Bruce going full whiny play boy: “Dinah! Ollie is being mean to me!!!”
Oliver: blue screens
Dinah: “YOU BITCH!?”
flinging your friends over your shoulder like potato sack. dangling them by the scruff stacking them up in your arms like laundry shoving them into your purse etc etc i love it

Ok so adding to this, Bruce might be a bit out of character but I’m letting him have fun.
So Bruce double and even triple checked that no one was gonna try and attack the museum during a charity event. So he genuinely thought ok this might be safe, I might let my hair down a bit. Beside Diana and Clark will be there this should be fine.
So Bruce decided to actually have a few drinks and since Clark was there Bruce pulled a Brucie I’m important so I’m gonna take this guy with me cause he looks fun move. So Clark could actually have fun rather than just work the whole night.
They go find Diana who is desperately trying to escape the rich folk talk with the other attendees and Bruce decided to go hey Miss Prince what’s this and steal Diana away from the other guests. She pretty grateful tbh.
So they’re sitting in their corner of the museum, just hanging out and talking. When suddenly several incredible armed individuals crash through the skylight. It turns out there was a plan to attack this event but it was incredibly well hidden so these are some heavy hitters. At least some serious mercenary types. They are threatening the guests and saying they’re holding them for ransom but there’s something else going on.
Unfortunately the Trinity are still too much in the open to change and these guys are like hawks.
I want this scene to go:
The Trinity whispering to one another.
Diana: ok we need a plan.
Clark: yeah
Both look at Bruce. Bruce looks to them flushed with alcohol.
Bruce: I know you two are smart people you can come up with a plan.
Clark: yeah we can but we need more than a smart plan right now.
Diana: these are obviously very competent soldiers who know not to let anyone out of their sight, we need a paranoid Batman plan right now.
Bruce: unfortunately Batman is too drunk to process half the things in this room, I swear this is why I don’t relax often.
Clark: ok I know this is bad but I still think you should relax more
Diana: that’s what you’re- ok I don’t disagree but we have bigger things to worry about than our friend’s lack of self care.
Bruce: wait I think I do have an idea
Diana and Clark: really
Bruce stands up walks over to the table with all the food and drinks and starts pouring himself another glass of wine. This obviously pisses off the mercenaries.
Bruce proceeds to just start talking about random and inane bs that is 100 percent brucie wayne and that distracts them enough to let Diana and Clark go change really quick. Though they do watch for a sec cause it was admittedly hilarious.
Everything ends up going well, and Bruce gets carried home drunk by Diana and Clark.
The Trinity find themselves stuck in a hold up situation (at maybe the museum that Diana works at) and the three of them find themselves stuck in their civilian clothes.
They are surrounded so Clark can’t change quickly without people noticing.
Diana is getting increasingly more upset because they keep messing with her exhibits.
Bruce is frustrated because of course this happens he just wanted to hang out with Diana and Clark damn it.
So it’s just them sitting there are the first moment they get they’re changing.
This is just me getting the idea in my head cause I’m gonna draw this.
Ok so one more thing before I go.
Do you remember when I said Bruce’s plan was his faith in Clark?
GUESS WHAT CLARK’S PLAN WAS?!
My god these two are just so much. I never even noticed this parallel until I was doing this happy rang series my god. I love studying writing stuff.
I am probably never going to do competitive pokemon however that knowledge is not stopping my brain from breeding perfect iv Pokémon for some reason. Someone please help me.
I don’t want to breed perfect iv pokemon but THE DEMONS-
Green Lantern: You know, most Superheroes are cornered into the job by moral obligations because of how powerful they are, but... aren't you just like, a normal guy? Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if you gave up the vigilante life to just take it easy?
Batman: Well--
Nightwing, suddenly vaulting into the conversation from across the room: No, no, NO, the last time we pretended to be a normal family for an hour, we played Trivial Pursuit and it ended with an arrow through the living room TV. None of us even fight with arrows. We're freaks that need to fight crime, don't take that away from us.
This is done by this person:
I loved it!

I need Bruce doing things he believes is completely out of character for Batman just to scare people. Like full on just putting Brucie into Batman as revenge against the annoyances he’s received.
Hal walks into the meeting room early for once and sees Batman kicking his feet a doodling in his lead lined notebook with a sparkly gel pen.
Hal: “uhhh”
Batman: “Hi GL~”
Hal: flees
By the time the meeting comes around Batman is once again the stoic scary man he always is. Hal is half convinced that it was a hallucination of some kind, maybe lack of sleep or that bagel that Barry dared him to eat.
The meeting ends and everyone is just hanging out. Hal goes over to talk to Barry when he swears he hears Batman’s voice say “no one will ever believe you” in his ear. Hal doesn’t sleep well for a week.
(Batman is very smug about it, that’s what he deserves for eating his bagel. Alfred made the spread for it.)
