Oh my god that Gotham tiktok trend is migrating to tumblr!!! Oh my god it’s happening!!!
Well to be fair it’s always existed here as only in Gotham, but it’s getting a resurgence!!!
Ok so this is hilarious, but the funniest thing to me is that Clark is so chill.
CLARK YOU NEARLY DIED?!
He’s just like meh, hot cocoa time. Also I’m gonna make joke about my friend. Love Clark! Just Clark is so fun!
Making a “people know” one for Clark.
Clark stopped a tree from falling on a kid during a field trip. The family sent flowers and pies to the Kent’s afterwards.
A woman saw Clark zip into his apartment when she was watering her plants late at night.
He helped a kid get their cat out of a tree as Clark, and the kid noticed that he floated down when he thought no one was looking.
Oh my goodness this looks so cute!!!
I'm going insane, does anyone remember the fancomic of clark kent becoming a comic artist and just draws cats for the daily planet? it has bruce wayne in it and he gives clark a peptalk???
I've been trying to find it for ages but I can't!! find!! it!!
I think it’d be funny to see Dick “Holy [Insert Situation-Relevant-Noun] Batman!” Grayson meet Billy “Holy Moley!” Batson, I think they would get along well
I’m accepting this as canon in my head. If I ever get around to actually writing the fan comics I have in mind, expect Brucie Wayne shenanigans.
The thought that Brucie Wayne and Batman being two completely separate entities that Bruce can code switch between has consumed me especially with the idea that he mixes the two together on occasion to fuck with people

*Batman and Superman searching a dressing room*
Superman: What about this thing, it looks suspicious?
Batman *full Batman voice*: That’s an eyelash curler darling
~~~~~~~~
*OG JLA revealing identities to newbies*
Green Arrow: Your turn Bats, who are you?
Batman having decided to fuck with him walking up to him cocking his hip putting one hand on his chest and in full Brucie Wayne mode: C’mon Ollie-Dollie you know who I am. We dated 💕
Green Arrow (internally): Modem noise
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Recently revealed identities with Clark and Brucie being at the same party
Brucie: oh howdy 🤠 cowboy, fancy meeting you at this shindig
Clark *flustered* (internally): he can’t be Batman he can’t be Batman he can’t be Batman…
~~~~~~~~~
*Bruce getting a call during a JLA meeting*
Brucie: Oh! hello dear, yes of course I’m coming to your party I’ll see you later 😘
Batman: Our security measures need to be increased due to the number of criminals currently attempting to follow heroes to their base of operations
JLA *experiencing whiplash*: what.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*undercover Brucie and members of the JLA at a party*
Bruce *pretending to be drunk wandering over to the flash*: excuse moi but can I get your attention for just a momento😊
Flash *completely disconnecting Bruce and bats*: yeah uh sure sir are you alright
Batman *quiet but deep Batman voice*: there’s an assassin in the rafters
There are a lot of fics about the Justice League finding out about Batman's children via a series of circumstances leading to Nightwing joining the League (usually against Batman's will)
and I LOVE this trope, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to imagine a situation where it doesn't happen like that. I want a situation where Nightwing joins the League, but he and Batman play it off well enough that the JL doesn't put them together. They notice that they work well together, sure, and Batman seems to trust Nightwing easier than the other new members, but no one questions it because Nightwing is good.
And the JL reaches a point where it's been months or even years and they still don't know.
Until Nightwing gets hurt. They've seen him hurt before, but he gets hurt. Bleeding out, affected by fear toxin, whatever, the point is, he's in bad shape. And Nightwing - strong, crooked grin, happy facade - screams. He screams for his dad - a word that he never uses, but that doesn't matter now, because he's scared, and he's hurt, and he just wants to go home.
And nobody knows what to do. Every single League member very quickly realizes that they know nothing about this guy. Everyone wonders about Batman because he seems so mysterious, but Nightwing always seemed so open, and it's only in that moment that they realize they have no actual information on him.
But that only last for a split second, because, of course Batman reacts first. He runs to his side and starts to stabilize his injuries while assuring him in a voice that they've never heard before, a voice that is distinctly not his Batman growl, that he's right there and it's all going to be okay.
And Nightwing... well, he stops calling out for his father. And he doesn't stay in the watchtower infirmary after that. When they ask Batman where he took him, he just tells them home.
Nightwing's back a few months later, and that's when they start asking him if he's really Batman's kid, and he just smiles the same crooked grin and says, Of course. You didn't know?
I imagine that Batman banned puns over the comms because they were once in the middle of sneaking into a gang hideout and every single thing Dick had said was some kind of mushroom/fungus pun, which was the last thing that Bruce heard before Duke burst into laughter and got pinned by gunfire.
I actually did a coughing laugh when I read Duke hitting kgbeast with a car. That man will never know peace again and I am here for it!
Thank you for the recommendations!! I’ve been on a bit of a comic slump (I’ve only been reading world’s finest) and I want to branch out some more.
I’m excited!!!
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 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
so Batman has the skill Functional Dissociation In Emergency that allows him to shut down all emotion when things get real bad which is why his coworkers think he's a sociopath and why his kids feel vaguely ashamed that they weren't born with this very impressive feat
yes there is a mini-little Bruce in his head that's having the panic attack and yes that Bruce comes screaming to the surface the second things are deemed safe and Batman has to go throw up in the corner in response
