Bad DC writers: idk just that way i guess
tim drake pulls home alone style pranks on ra's al ghul in his spare time send post
remember when i said Bruce would forget his kids arre adopted?
imagine the same thing but opposite w damian for some reason.
Damian starts showing interest in medical stuff and Alfred lightly comments, "just like his grandfather," and Bruce hums with a finger on his chin, "Ra's?" and Alfred gives him a look and THEN Bruce realises, oh his father. his side of the family. because he's the dad. for real this time. ohhhhh.
batman comic arcs are so mindlessly dark all the time. âthe killing jokeâ âdeath in the familyâ âbatmanâs graveâ how about âbatman has a nice fucking day for onceâ huh? âbatman chills the fuck out and spends some time with his kidsâ âbatman and the relaxing picnicâ âbatman has a really good cup of tea and its not poisoned or drugged because heâs been stressed latelyâ huh???? what about that, assholes.
Boy has horrific bloody gruesome nightmare and wakes up in a cold sweat, begrudgingly seeks comfort in father. What happens next is shocking!!!!
Usual stuff first, maybe it was a Gotham rogue with science, perhaps somebody external with magic; doesn't matter much. Except this wasn't an attack on Batman, it was meant for Bruce Wayne...meaning the manor was attacked.
First, the JL get rid of the threat, and then find the rest of the family. Diana finds Dick, he's a very small baby, maybe even months old, and he hangs from a chandelier.
While everyone freaks out about how he got there, Oliver, who remembers seeing Dick's first gala stunt, deduces he probably shrunk down until he was that age, and either an eight or seven old Dick was the one to climb there.
The ones who don't stay babying baby Dick and taking pics, look for Bruce. This has happened before, so they are betting on two options: a recently traumatized eight-year-old, or younger and looking for his parents. Hal bets on an angry teenager Bruce because it would be hilarious.
What they don't expect to find, is a twenty-something Alfred Pennyworth with Bruce on his hips and in a state of absolute panic. Because he is the youngest intelligence agent Britain has seen in a while, he can tell something is very wrong, and will not reason with these weird people in Wayne Manor for the life of him.
Hal tries to approach him, having apparently not learned his lesson of not judging someone's capabilities just because they don't have magic, powers or a ring, from Batman. Agent A has him immobilized on the ground in three seconds flat, Bruce on his hip and all.
Hal then understands this young man raised Batman after all.
Superman is ready for when he inevitably asks where the Waynes are, he's had this conversation with little Bruce before, and it was actually Alfred himself who advised him how to. Clark is not ready for Alfred to ask for his father, the previous butler who would indeed know what's going on, because what do you say to that? It doesn't help that Bruce is absolutely not letting go of Alfred, the only person he recognizes there.
It's not Batman's business, it's Bruce Wayne's business, so the GCPD does get there. The JL don't know what to do when instead of being understanding and helping out, Jim Gordon *pales*. "You're telling me...a young Alfred Pennyworth-an on edge young Alfred Pennyworth, is in there...nope, not in a million years, I remember the Martha incident" no one asks what he means.
It takes a retired Harvey Bullock to come down grunting to calm the Brit down a bit, he tells him to let them help out rather harshly, and the JL thinks Gordon fucked up by calling this man: But Alfred does back down then, the issue getting resolved after that.
Just, de-aged Alfred, an intelligence Agent, ready to take down the freaks (Justice League, heroes of the world) to make sure they don't get close to Thomas and Martha's kid (Batman, founder of the league)
Tired college student Danny and the cafe he's at gets held up and something in him has just snaps. Like he's crying in a why? Why does the universe hate me? and then in comes the anger like I'M JUST TRYING TO GET COFFEE. I HAVE A TEST IN 30 MINUTES. SHUT UP. LET ME FUCKING LIVE MAN. beating the teeth outta some guy, no powers just pure hands and then the bats get on the scene and are like Oh Okay.
Red Hood compliments his form. It's a maybe good day. Minus being burgled but like that's fine. This is Gotham.
An eight year old Bruce Wayne summons Danny (who is 14 at the time, mind you) in the Wayne family manors attic.
Danny: please don't be a cultist please don't be a cultist please don't be a-
Danny:
Danny: That's a child. Why is there a child?
Bruce who honestly didn't expect his great great great great nth grandparents weird ass spellbook bullshit to work: [squinting at Danny in scrutiny] I thought the King of the Dead would beâŚtaller.
Danny: Oh great and now I'm being insulted by a six year old. It's like Young Blood all over again, just more posh. And alive.
Jason, tapping his chin in thought: Right, so, Plasmius, super rich guy who wants to adopt you.
Danny: No, no, he also wants to fuck my mom. That'sâŚEUGH DUDE. Like- that's my mom. No I don't care about how he wanted her since college that's still super gross.
Jason: How has he not moved on? Your mom has a whole kid.
Danny: A whole two kids. And a husband of over ten years.
Jason: Oh yikes.Â
Danny, nodding emphatically: Big Yikes. And he has this whole one sided beef with my dad cause he has everything Plasmius has ever wanted and like honestly I dont give a fuck because in the timeline he does get with my mom - which Ew - he's a lying bastard and my ma isn't completely happy with him.Â
Jason:...Other timeline?
Danny, waving his hand in a nonchalant manner: Vlad - who's Plasmius by the way - gave my friends fatal ecto-acne because he was having a ghostly acne flare up and basically said âfind a cure or they'll die tooâ and so I went back in time to figure some shit out and I kinda shifted things to the left and in the lab accident that gave Vlad ecto-acne it gave my dad ecto-acne instead of Vlad and then my dads life went to ruin but I fixed it by fixing the timeline so I mean everythings fine. Mostly.
Jason: what, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck.
Damian, bursting into the living room, tears streaming down his face and rage in his eyes: TODD YOU UTTER BASTARD!
Jason, looking up from his book, confusion from being yelled at shifting to unbridled glee: whoa there brat, what did I do?
Damian, screaming wordlessly as he throws a pillow at Jason: WHY! WHY DID NAGISA HAVE TO DIE! WHY DID YOU SAY I MUST WATCH SUCH...SUCH HORRID THINGS!
Dick, rushing in as he heard yelling: Dami? Jay? What happened? Who died?
Jason, cackling and fallingnoff his chair: Oh my god...oh sweet baby Jesus...
Damian, running to Dick and clinging onto him: Todd told me to watch a show called Clannad...He is evil and must be exterminated.
Dick, hugging Damian back out of instinct but blinks confused: Wait...that old anime from like...07? Wait no...oh Dami...Jason why?
Jason, picking himself up from the floor: The brat spoiled One Piece for me, he deserved it.
Damian, muffled as he had his face squished into Dicks side: ALL I SAID WAS THAT ACE DIED HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IT HAPPENED WHEN YOU WERE DEAD!
Jason, pointing at the boy: HE WAS ACTUALLY SO COOL! WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE!
Dick, stricken with "my brothers are weebs" face: I should have just stayed with Wally this week
On Christmas Eve Cass Steph and Dick all break into Timâs apartment to bring (kidnap) him to the manor for Christmas and see the usual stuff the ungodly amount of coffee and paper work for WE minimal decorations which they expect what they didnât expect was the mountain of presents which isnât a total shock Tim is a rather prominent socialite but at closer inspection half the gifts are from different villains/rouges some of the names include
:Raâs Al ghul
:Edward nigma
:Harley Quinn
:Lady shiva
And MANY more names for obvious reasons they are concerned and when Tim is opening his front door and Steph starts demanding answers from him and dick starts begging him not to turn into a supervillain (cass is drinking tea on the couch ready to enjoy the show) he is confused and and then the rest of the bats show up and start trying to talk him out of becoming evil (except Jason who thought this was hilarious and just a little terrifying) and now he is just trying to figure out what the fuck is going on until dick letâs it slip and they ask why Tim has presents from supervillains laying around and Tim just doesnât know how to explain that he and said supervillains have exchanged gifts since his YJ days and pretends he doesnât know why the gifts were there
So the bats start saying that they are gonna confront the supervillains cause this means that they might know secret identities until Bruce seeâs an open card on the kitchen counter from Harley that is actually a invitation to a villain Christmas party which appears to be a few weeks old and a photo with Tim in his Red Robin suit hanging out at the party with all the rouges and Tim has to figure out a way to get out of this but he is Tim fucking drake so he canât just admit it so somehow now everyone thinks there is a clone of Tim running around with the rouges which is why they send him cards gift etc and Tim goes along with it but so do the rouges (Tim to this day doesnât know why but just thanks the gods they did) so Batman looks but canât find any evidence anywhere eventually it goes to the back burner when joker escapes and they didnât pick it up again and nobody figures out the truth until Harley invited Steph and cass to the same villain party and they see Tim discussing science stuff with ivy and now cass and Steph know but they donât tell the rest of the bats and this doesnât come up again until YEARS have passed and Tim is on really strong pain meds and felt so bad he admits it half of the bats think itâs the funniest thing ever the other half are concerned/upset Tim didnt tell them
(Tim still goes to the Christmas partyâs ever year without fail)ďżź
( i wrote this at one in the morning it might not make any sense soâŚ. Sorry?)
My absolute favorite baby brothers ugh
Ah.... yeah that's ummmm yeah
The gasp I just gusped upon remembering that Dick was not mentally in a good place right before Damian died, and Damian knew it. So then for Damian to come back to life and to be told that Dick is dead... I can only imagine what his initial assumption must have been.
Yknow how lions will sometimes pretend that their cubs' biting hurts and stuff as a form of encouragement
Imagine that but like
Robin!Dick: *bap*
Bruce: *dramatically throws himself into a shelf*
It's actually funny how humans decided "fuck living in caves with all these creepy crawlies", got out of caves, built houses that have all the nice parts of a cave without any of the yucky parts, and then all the little bugs and spiders and other creepy crawly creatures that used to also live in caves thought "sweet, new and improved caves" and moved right back in with us.

I have an obsession with Batfam meets the Justice League fics and headcanons in general, and my favorite situation is when the JL fully knows Nightwing, he's on the team, they all like him quite a bit, and he's so charming and open seeming that they all collectively forget that they don't know anything about him.
I want that, then on a mission, fighting a magic user of some sort, Nightwing gets zapped back to young Robin age. So everyone else on said mission is left confronted with 9 year old Dick Grayson in full Robin gear, who is fully ready to fight every single one of them, and they generally have no idea what's happening or who this child is, other than the fact that he's probably young Nightwing, except he won't answer to that name.
And Dick, extremely confused and suspicious because he doesn't know half of the people there, and the ones that he is aware of are wearing different costumes or are just straight up different people than they're supposed to be, proceeds to try and fight them, then actively try to run away.
Then they finally manage to wrangle him back to the Watchtower, trying to grapple with the implications that Nightwing has been a highly trained, costume vigilante since childhood, and managed to break a bone in Green Arrow's hand before they subdued him, and is still thrashing around and trying to bite various League members.
They call Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman in to see if they have any idea what to do with him, and when Robin sees Batman, he squirms out of Flash's grasp, runs to Batman, and climbs up his side until he's wrapped himself around his shoulders like he does it every day.
The Bat lets this happen, sighs in exasperation, then calls Zatanna to help.
The League is then left to piece together why tiny child Nightwing ran to Batman for safety, and why Batman seems a whole lot less confused than everyone else.
âFatherless behaviorâ stop giving my DAD credit for all the work my MOM put into making me a terrible person!! Stop erasing women in history!!

Tim, making chicken and dumpling soup, dropping a dumpling on the floor: This is sadder than the time I lost my spleen.
Bruce, choking on his coffee: Excuse me?

This was pretty fun â°(ËľăĎăâż)âŻ
Batman being aggressively secretive towards the Justice League is one of my favorite tropes, but it gets INFINITELY funnier when you take the younger generations of heroes into consideration.
Barry Allen? He doesn't know shit about Batman, still partially convinced he's not human, still a little bit scared to talk to him. But Wally West? That's Nightwing's best friend. He's been around Dick since both of them were kids. He's had sleepovers at the manor since he was thirteen.
I just think it would be hilarious if all of the younger generations 100% know that Batman is Bruce Wayne. They've slept at the manor, some of them have taken various Batkids to school dances, they've been offered Alfred's cooking. And all because they've gotten close to at least one Batkid and said Batkid wore Bruce down until he let them reveal their identity. But all of them manage to keep this information from their mentors. Either purposefully or completely on accident.
Then you end up with a situation where the younger generations grow up and join the League and the older members Very Quickly realize that they seem a lot more comfortable with Batman than they should be.
Nick Furyâs FlashbackÂ
I think we as a fandom really forget that Dick, and Tim are like super fucking Badass and scary.
Jason a bit too but overall everyone seems to get that the Red Hood the Overlord of Crime Alley makes people piss themselves.
Same with Damian people talk shit but overall the agreement is that Damian and Jason are scary as fuck.
But Dick has Broken bane beat the ever loving shit out of Slade Wilson he killed the fucking Joker. I do think he is doting Big brother but not in the I'll roll over and play dead type but in the you touch a hair on his fucking head and I will rip your throat out with my teeth.
Same with Tim we all love discussing the Red Robin 2009 comics but we make it like he's some sad idiot he was running missions calculating he took out the league of spiders he wasn't playing some Oh whoa is me bullshit he was kicking ass. He has contingencies that Batman is proud of.
If you think Bruce Wayne is scary well hold on meet the sons that are just fucking like him.
Like I need everyone to realize Tim and Dick are badasses and of characters didn't get nerfed so fucking hard it would be way more apparent.
If you take a step back and just look at their Training Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian are some of the best fighters in the DC universe it's not crazy to say they kick this villains ass or they can do this.
I see a whole lot of arrguments like oh they can't do this or whatever these are Batman's heirs trained to be the very best by him and others. They are standing on par with some of the scariest motherfuckers in the world.
Like put some respect on the Robin name it's certainly earned it.
*Also do you know the balls it takes to punch Batman in the face and then sit at his kitchen table and eat his food or spend his money after telling him to essentially go fuck himself. Like that is their Dad they are his kids.
Like my Dad's Batman but Also my Kid is the fucking Nightwing.
âDaddy, up!â
Clark doesnât miss a beat. He continues telling Bruce about his investigation into chemical waste shipments out of Metropolis Harbor and a possible connection to LexCorp as he bends down to pick up his toddler.
Bruce smiles as the sixteen-month-old boy waves at him. He waves back and silently wishes heâd seen at least one of his boys this small. This is criminally adorable.
âDaddy,â Jon interrupts again. He pats Clarkâs cheek with a tiny hand, trying to get his father to stop talking and look at him. âDaddy, ânack?â
Again, Clark doesnât even pause his story. He reaches into one of the pockets of his jeans and pulls out a pack of animal crackers, then opens it and hands his son a bear-shaped cracker. He hasnât even broken eye contact with Bruce, who figures out very quickly what ânackâ means.
âDa-kit?â Jonâs gnawing on the animal crackers half-heartedly. Bruce guesses that heâs pleased with it, but would prefer something else.
This gets Clark to pause his story. âNo, my love, no chocolate crackers today.â Ah, okayââda-kit.â Thatâs cute. âWe have to get more at the store later. Can you be patient?â
Bruce fully expects the baby to throw a tantrum. He has no firsthand experience with toddlers, but general knowledge of children tells him that ânoâ isnât a word they like to hear.
To his amazement, Jon smiles sweetly. âPay-tay,â he says quietly, still chewing on his cracker. âTow.â
Clark smiles and pokes Jonâs nose, earning him a little giggle. âThatâs right, baby boy. Patient, then we go to the store.â
âYou know,â Bruce interjects, âI keep some chocolate in my utility belt. Just in case one of the boys wants a snack.â
Jon wastes no time reaching his chubby arms toward Bruce at the word âchocolate.â
âI could watch him for a bit,â Bruce continues, accepting the baby happily when Clark relinquishes his hold on the squirming boy. âIâm sure grocery shopping is quicker without a baby, right?â
Clark levels a flat, yet amused look at his friend. âGroceries. Right. Totally not your baby fever acting up.â
Jonâs happy as can be in Bruceâs arms. Heâs got a snack, the promise of chocolatey snacks, and heâs being held. What more could a baby want?
âBye bye, Daddy!â
Bruce barely suppresses a grin. âYou heard him, Clark. Youâre dismissed.â
Bruce not experiencing Damianâs baby and toddler years was probably for the best, because can you imagine how sickeningly sweet and positively over-the-top he wouldâve been?
Damian wouldâve been dressed in those adorable animal, character, and theme onesies. Halloween? Pumpkin that baby. Christmas? Lil baby angel outfit. Hanukkah? Youâre a latke now, sweet boy. Itâs Tuesday? Guess youâre a starfish today, baby. A limitless amount of adorable, ridiculous outfits.
And donât let the facade of high-society sophistication and propriety fool youâBruce wouldâve been calling that baby everything but his name. Stinky man, my lil boo boo, baby boy, sweetheart, goober. When Damian sees a cow for the first time and goes âmooâ? Guess your nameâs Moo Moo now. What? I could just call him Dami? No, thank you. His name is Squish today. He will be Chubby Bunny tomorrow. No, I am not taking notes or suggestions.
Randos trying to touch or hold Damian? Be prepared to catch a whole Batfamilyâs worth of hands. No, donât look at my babyâbitch, I said donât look at my baby. See, you looked at him, and now I have to buy your whole life on a discount. Look at what you made me do.
