Comparing Dick and Jasonâs early days with Bruce is so funny, itâs just the opposite of what youâd expect.Â
Jason: âwow, I get to live in a mansion!â âand now I get to be Robin?!â âthis is awesome!â âlet me get to work on that homework now Bruce so we can patrol laterâ âbeing Robin gives me magicâ :D
Dick: âmy parents are deadâ âMr. Wayne is never aroundâ âeverything is terribleâ âiâm going to sneak out of the houseâ âBatman, let me kill a manâ
Do you have any fanfic recs? Cause I plowed through a lot but a lot I donât really jive with. But your (correct) vision of the bats is what Iâm looking for. You know Bruce is trying to be a dad and not ever hitting his kids. And everyone is like we hate each other for reasons but we also love each other.
Btw you literally make me grin. Youâre truly funny and I just go on you blog and it makes my day better. Like the kind of smile you canât smother and it just lasts for ages so thank you for every meme and joke and headcannon. They are so perfect
oh god youâre really putting a load on me here okay so good dad bruce wayne and overall good batfam stuff,,, also thanks so much! im really glad you like this stuff
Safe And Sound - watchingthestars13
this one is just,,, the cutest and i have read it like 20 times so far and it never fails to disappoint. itâs a 5+1 with times his kids called him dad and once he called himself dad. it has a hint of superbat, but thatâs not the focus of the story.
Latchkey - goldkirk
okay this was one of the first tim drake centric works i read and it is the shit. (it also got me permanently imprinting on the first stupid nerd i saw) itâs about tim befriending jason and getting sucked into their family, while heâs trying not to get them to know he knows about their secret identities
Excelsior - jerseydevious
when i tell you you should read this im not kidding, it is one of my favourite batfam works and itâs just *chefs kiss* itâs incredibly well written and the characterisations are just beautiful and i love it so much. itâs about bruce buying damian a horse,,,, and then it all spirals from there.
Hummingbirds Under His Skin - jerseydevious
this,,, i just- dang this is a really good fic and i love it so very much. no explanation needed. bruce and dick have a little chit chat about being bisexual.
In For a Penny - cdelphiki
have you ever thought about how bruce mustâve been like 25 when damian was born? no? how damian was born when dick already lived with bruce? no? now have you ever thought about damian arriving at the manor as a baby? well now you do. it is,,, so cute and so angst, but so cute.
birds fly in every direction - distracted_dragon

My own batfam worksÂ
okay itâs probably weird to rec your own stuff, but iâm just putting out there that i am incapable of writing bad dad! bruce wayne so it definitely doesnât have that.
Imagine the league in the early days, they think they have a mole. Because of how secretive he is, they think its Batman, they know nothing about him & he's new. So it makes sense he's the mole. So they bug him. Instead of finding out he's the bad guy, they find out he's 23 year old business owner who can barely function as a real human being that likes to bitch about his new night time coworkers to his 8 year old son đ€Ł
Bro đ early early days batman where he isnât so quick to find out heâs bugged (but he learned after this) and they straight up hear this kid having a mental breakdown every 3 hours
Damian: [trying to stab tim]
Tim: [yelling] where did he get a knife?!
Jason: [reading a book] from the kitchen đ
We made you a warrior. You made yourself a hero.
Happy birthday Cassandra Cain!

Dick Grayson, age 10, self proclaimed master gymnast, but heâs more well known as Robin, Batmanâs first sidekick. Right now he had managed to get ahold of his fatherâs cowl and cape. It was far too big for him of course, but that didnât stop him messily putting it on. Speaking in the most deep and gravely voice the small boy could muster he said to himself, âIâm the night.â
He giggled, until he felt a tap to his shoulder. He turned around and saw the Batman himself giving him an unamused look.
âI am the night. You however-â he lightly tapped his forehead â-are my star.â

Once when he was 16 he texted Kate that she needed to come over quickly and she thought it was an emergency but it turns out that Bruce's boyfriend at the time broke up with him and he wanted to dye his hair and diss the guy with his older cousin
She still cries about this night when she misses him
After he adopted Dick he stopped locking his bedroom door so the kid could climb in bed with bruce and cuddle after a nightmare (it helped them both a lot more than either knows)
About a week before Dick's first gala the kid had a breakdown bc he wanted to wear a dress instead of a tux but thought bruce wouldn't approve or love him anymore if he found out, but when he did tell bruce all he did was hug him and ask "which dress do you want? No budget"
They made front cover the next day with their sparkly blue gowns
Bruce doesn't like Starbucks, and will often run into small family owned cafes as batman
Tim, Jason, and Cass took on this tradition
If a random kid comes up to the manor doors he will let them come in for dinner, sleep in a nice bed, take a shower whatever they need
He pays for free health care for all of Gotham
Stephanie asked him for advice on 'which piercing would look best on me' as a joke and he proceeded to answer her seriously
She didn't know that he had a septum piercing
He gets upset when people touch his neck and shoulders (specific the back)
He gives himself haircuts
He had a mullet at one point and doesn't regret it
Dick found pictures of it and that's why he grew his hair out into one, as a tribute
Young Bruce content? Young Bruce content đ
Bruce absolutely adored babysitting Barbara. He loved every second he spent with her and before he had the courage to ask Jim if Barbara could stay the weekend. . .
young bruce wayne has the same energy as natasha romanoff but especially when she makes pop culture references in her jokes and then awkwardly explains it bc he does that with gen-z and the justice league

Based on a conversation I had with my friends today
Dick: Why are you crying?
Tim, crying: I just rewatched TASM 2 and Gwen didn't deserve that
Jason: [on his phone walking by] and you have a chemistry test tomorrow
Tim: [wailing harder] and I have a chemistry test tomorrow
Honestly we really need more Bruce and Zatanna being childhood friends fics
Ok ok ok: So when Cass first came to the family their where some problems, like when before going to a gala or anything Cass struggled to make herself presentable she was new to do this and it was stressful, yeah Alfred could help with the dresses and sometimes Barbara could come by but not often. Bruce noticed this and decided to do something, he talked to Diana, to Dinah, to Mari McCabe, to anyone who could help and learned how to do Cassâs make-up and hair. At first it was kinda awkward as Bruce is not a professional stylist and it was weird for Cass to have her dad do her hair, but with time they got used to it. After a couple times it became almost routine not just for Galaâs and fancy events but just for whenever, Bruce sitting on a chair in the bathroom as Cass sits on a little stool, Bruce with bobby pins in his mouth and scrunchies around his wrist, he is actually pretty good at it and sometimes people even asked Cass who did her hair and she never knows what to say. Its not commonly known but its also not a well kept secret, Hal didnât believe it when Barry told him until Bruce confirmed it. At this point its a tradition and Cass and Bruce almost feel weird when they go to a gala without doing it.
good superbat fics to spare? pls?
What if Bruce actually gives the best hugs but barely anyone (except Cass, Alfred and Dick) knows this. Bruce thinks he sucks at hugs because no one ever asks for them.
YOOO WHAT, dude you're not gonna fucking believe it but that's literally the first headcanons I ever wrote in my headcanon list, wait let me get the actual thing I wrote
Here it is, anyway Bruce is a great hugger and his family wishes he would hug them more
This is another one of those rare times I post marvel stuff
Ok so I had this thought that in the ending scene where Tom's Peter put a rose on May's grave he also saw two other graves.
One said Benjamin Parker and the other said Gwen Stacy and I thought that would be rlly cool but anyways
bruceâs 2022 resolutions
DC comics will be like âBruce Wayne was a playboy billionaire, the sexiest man in the room, alluringâ and then draw him like a fucking potato
tim drakeâs snapchat is 90% him making bruce wayne do normal middle-class american things and filming the results. popular youtube compilations include the one where theyâre at dennyâs at two in the morning and tim keeps trying to get bruce to order a moon over my hammy just so heâll have to say it, the one where theyâre at disneyworld and bruce gets increasingly frazzled culminating in him actually physically picking up gaston for reasons no one can entirely recall, and everyoneâs favorite series âbruce wayne doesnât understand walmartâ
