Bat Family is Multilingual

While that seems like an obvious observation, not enough people talk about it, either on this site on anywhere else. But yeah, the Bats are a polyglot household. And for those that grew up speaking more than one language, we all know the mayhem that brings.

You know the "spanglish" and "portenglish" that we create? It's on another level at the Wayne residence. Conversations switch languages every sentence, for their dialect of gibberish to anyone outside of it.

For example, the conversation goes: English -> Spanish -> Swahili -> Aramaic -> Mandarin -> Portuguese -> Patuá (Macanese Patois) -> Romani -> Navajo -> Kryptonian -> Coptic -> Arabic -> Doric Greek (Greek from Sparta) -> Griko (Greek dialect in Italy) -> Cherokee -> Vietnamese -> Nahuatl -> Hebrew -> Back to English

Also, they switch languages depending on what they're cooking and proceed to shout it across the kitchen. The loudest The Latin ones and Arabic.

Even sign language is multilingual. The family has their version of it (created by Cass, which uses more body language and movements that show things and feelings instead of words), but they switch between American, British, French, New Zealand, Irish, Brazilian, Maritime, Hong Kong, Inuit, Ka'apor, and even Plains Indian SL on the daily basis. It's so varied that for an outsider, it just looks like their gesturing half the time.

And honestly, I think it all started with an angry Bruce learning French and German from Alfred.

Time travel trouble Pt. 1

He'd been Robin for four years, and in that time Batman had "died" at least six times, most of which had been in the past two years. Supervillains were getting to be more of a problem than ever before. So there Dick was, chatting to Alfred over the comms and strolling down the street in search of Batman, when he found him.

"Oh, there you are, Bruce, where's the batmo-" he stopped. Something was off about this "Batman." An imposter? No, he looked too similar to him to be that. A clone? No, he didn't look that much like him. He was skinnier, and he looked vaguely lost... Dick facepalmed.

Time travel, he thought to himself. Great day for it.

"Call you back later, Alfred."

The who-knew-how-much younger version of Batman was on the roof of a nearby building, looking around. Trying to figure out what was going on, maybe? Time to clear that up for him. Dick grappled up onto the building and trapped him on the shoulder.

"Bruce?" He said.

Batman spun around. "Dick, there you are- hang on..."

"Batman, you time traveled. To the future. I think. Which is annoying, because current you is MIA. Anyways, we need to get back to the batcave to figure this out."

"Time travel, that one's new. And why should I believe you, "Dick"? You don't look that much like him at all. How are you so calm about this? ... And why isn't the batmobile where we left it ten minutes ago?"

"Because we left it there several years ago, and it's called aging. And this stuff happens more often now. But seriously, we need to get back to the batcave and figure this out. Alfred's gonna have a field day of sass."

Since only the real Dick could know Alfred, and by extension, predict his reaction, that's exactly what they did. Alfred was already in the batcave dusting when they arrived. As the dynamic duo charged down the stairs (Well, one charged, the other trotted confusedly) Dick shouted, "Alfred! You'll never guess what happened!"

Justice League Headcanons: Comfort Food

Clark: Freshly baked apple pie with whipped cream and cinnamon on top. He has a huge sweet tooth and it reminds him of home.

Bruce: A "Cheesemeister Deluxe" from Big Belly Burger. It was Jason's go-to any time they got food on patrol, and despite their laundry list of differences having it makes Bruce feel a little closer to him. Especially when he's alone.

Diana: Pistachio and coffee ice cream mixed together. Sometimes she'll bring extra to share during Justice League meetings. Mostly for Bruce, since he's the only one who will it eat it with her.

Barry: Two deep dish pizzas with grilled chicken, philly steak, mushrooms, and jalapenos. Iris nags him about how greasy it is, but he still gets it every once in a while because he needs the extra calories.

GL Hal: Hot wings from the bar he and Carol went to the first time they got drinks together. They're always too crispy for his taste, but the homemade hot sauce is to die for.

J'onn: A vanilla milkshake with tons of crushed Chocos in and on it. But if that's not an option, chocolate mousse cake works in a pinch.

Arthur: Spam musubi with heaps of fried breadfruit and 'otai on the side. Unfortunately, it's rare that he can get all three at once.

Kara: Everyone thinks it's pizza and potstickers and she doesn't correct them. But really it's dragon fruit frozen yogurt. It's the closest thing Earth has to what used to be her favorite snack on Krypton, and the only thing that works when she's lonely.

Mari: Goat vindaloo for a meal, as spicy as anyone can make it. If she can speak while eating it, it's not hot enough. For dessert, a double-wrapped crepe with strawberries, bananas, walnuts, and chocolate sauce.

Tatsu: Cold soba in the spring and summer and hot soba in autumn and winter. She only gets it a few times a year to make sure she never gets tired of it.

GL John: Dry-rub smoked ribs from his favorite mom-and-pop joint back in Detroit. Then a slice of sweet potato pie for dessert.

Oliver: His League-famous chili, if he has the time to make it. But if not, Paula's dumplings are second to none and he makes sure to thank her for giving him the recipe every time he and Artemis visit her.

Dinah: Garlic cheese fries, made from scratch. She makes it for special occasions celebrated at home, or when Ollie's gone on a mission without her and she needs the pick-me-up.

Zatanna: Stuffed chicken breast with gnocchi in alfredo sauce. She used to help her father make it when she was little. It seems selfish, but after he died she refuses to make it for anyone else, and so only ever cooks it when she's alone.

It's fun when we do that one

IT IS TIME

Hey everyone, House just passed H.R 9495 as of 11/21, which is a bill that prevents non-profits for helping with causes such as Palestine and other acts the government deems "terrorism."

The guardian explains why it's a massive problem here.

This could seriously hurt non-profits that are trying to help multiple good causes with the vague terminology they are using to give themselves power to dictate what that means.

They are trying to fast track it while everyone is panicking about the results of the election. CALL YOUR SENATORS AND SAY NO TO H.R. 9495.

If you can't call for any reason, absolutely spread the word and reblog this post.

This is extremely serious and a dangerous bill. We should do what we can to stop it.

Not where you grew up. Not where you’ll be living soon. Where you’re living right now.

POV: the whole justice league is revealing their secret identities to each other and it's Shazam's turn, and he's been hiding that he's a kid.

S = Shazam

Green Lantern: Ok your turn Shazam, who are you?

S: Umm before I take off my costume, there's something you should know. If you're Shazam, then when you're Shazam you're the same age, no matter what. Whatever age you usually are. And- um. So- oh, I'll just show you. Shazam!

Wonder Woman: You are a child!

S: Debatable.

Superman: How old are you?

S: Shazam! Now I'm like 24.

Green Lantern: Doesn't even know how old he is as Shazam...

S: Shazam!

Flash, walking in: Wait are we revealing identities? Why was I not invited? Who's the kid?
