Honestly, though I am not above making multiple versions if people vibe with the idea enough…
(also I have a redbubble but I’m game for more suggestions of places to make stickers!)
They all look great!!! How can I pick only one?
Also, kinda wanna draw Batman wearing this symbol on his suit now
You absolutely MUST know that my headcanon for Bruce is he’s autistic.
the city draws in a collective breath, dripping with the sweet, stark smell of rot and week-old blood. the sun slips down the sky, painting streaks of sweat on bitter tasting cement. glass crackles underfoot, barbed wire snaking over your feet. as the sun slides farther and farther down, dipping below the harbor, tendrils of oil creep up, painting the skyline with dark bruises. you could reach up towards those dark heavens, your fingertips brushing against smog and ash hanging in the air, your hand coming back coated in black. when the shadows have truly fallen over the entirety of the city, a dull ache comes back, running under the cracked streets, twisting underfoot and beneath curbs and empty warehouses, dull office buildings, chipped paint apartments. the ache spins through the city, tripping over bent lampposts and bodies, filling every pothole and splinter with red rimmed pain. the spine of gotham heaves under the weight, trying desperately to keep the rust and steel and concrete welded together. to keep the charcoal stained buildings upright, scraping at the sky. the great city releases its breath, coated in frothing molten grey and soft whispers of the weak.
everything I post has been flopping so atp I’m posting whatever I want
can we talk about the joker and his past for a second? bc I have cemented myself as someone who Does Not like it when the joker is given a backstory bc an important aspect about his villainy is that batman is his motivation. not a dead wife or child, not an illegitimate father, not a failed bussiness, just batman. whatever happened in his past does not matter. he could’ve (and probably did) have a very shitty life before, but n o n e of that bears meaning bc his only motive, his only means for doing anything that he does, his solely because of batman. bc as many have stated, they are two sides of the same coin. batman is fueled by tragedy, he has a reason, he’s not doing this only bc of the joker, and the joker himself, being his counterpart, has no tragedy that weighs him down enough to be doing what he’s doing. that’s why christopher nolan’s joker worked so well. the changing stories, the apathetic manner, the joker doesn’t care who he was before he was the joker. the joker is the only one who exists now. batman is still (figuratively) two people: bruce and batman. the joker is just,, the joker. that’s why he has nothing holding him back.
the joker can’t have a name beyond “joker”. he can’t have a face and a history beyond the bleached skin and stringy green hair. and as for batman, he can’t let go of his past, of his parents’ murder. bc if he did, if he became only the mask, only the suit, only batman, I think he would lose himself to the darkness he’s been keeping at bay since he was a child. I think he wouldn’t be any better than the joker.
Bruce Wayne was flustered by reporters outside Wayne Enterprises after rumors about the billionaire being a masked superhero surfaced. After an anonymous tip sent to the GCPD early Friday morning was leaked, people everywhere are speculating whether or not the theory is true. More will come on the situation later, but until then, we’re all left to wonder: is Bruce Wayne… Green Lantern?
*cut to Bruce staring at the TV, face red, knuckles white, trying to figure out how the fuck people are thinking he’s fucking Hal Jordan. Is Hal the one behind this? If he is Bruce is gonna fucking kill him*
I think it’s funny how whenever we picture teen superheroes, they’re always so hot and perfect when they’re not in disguise. like, come on. they’re teenagers sweating under a mask for hours and hours at a time. they’re gonna have acne. and if they wear any type of helmet, you bet ur ass they have hat-hair most of the time. they’re missing some teeth, some never get them fixed, some get crowns. most of the time their noses are slightly crooked from having it broken. they have chronic eye bags and tangled hair and probably don’t find much time to shave. they’re always sore, and they’re always tired. nothing pretty or glamorous about it. nothing to show for their sacrifices apart from week old bruises and vertigo when they stand up too fast.
the main reason the Bruce Wayne Is Batman theory was debunked is bc batman is one tall motherfucker and all of gotham knows it, and on bruce’s wikipedia page it says he 5’11, which is wrong but no ones corrected it. and someone put two and two together and said “you know what? do we really think this short rich white man is batman?” and everyone else was like “you right”
also bc bruce once went out in a shirt that said “I’m not saying I’m batman, but have you ever seen us together at the same time?” and all of gotham sucked in a collective breath bc god rich ppl are stupid and have no taste
shamelessly reblogging my own post bc i’m fucking funny
I’m glad we’re all shifting from “Bruce is so cool and swavy..god look at him go getting all the ladies such a gentleman ”
to
“Nah this man is fucking weird but gosh do we love him…”
Justice League out here thinking Batman is so cool and some double 0 7 shit but hates their asses…Nah man Bruce is that kid who got paired with a of people group who are very social by the teacher and he thinks if he finishes the project for them he can go home early.
Now I kind of want a Batman who’s like 16-18 years old and an awkward anti-social teenager, but the rest of the JLA doesn’t realize because he’s V tall and wearing a mask and all his brooding, and being snippy and sarcastic with them is just teenage moodiness not because he’s the creature of the night
Bruce:Raises his hand during a JL meeting
Hal: Look he’s mocking us he thinks we’re kids and treating us like some…
Billy:Also raises his hand during a JL meeting
Bruce is able to drop seemingly random tidbits of information, not because he’s a human search engine, but because he just finished a presentation on the blood buffering system for his AP Bio class. This is all just fresh in his head, and somehow necessary at the perfect time.
Bruce being so adamant about no one touching his notes not because he’s picky and doesn’t want anyone to know what he’s doing but that’s his Homework fam don’t ruin it. You’re lucky he even brought it on the case to help.
Makes this all better if Bruce never claimed to be their age he just thought it was obvious
It’s great because it doesn’t even need to be ‘somehow relevant’; Bruce is a rich kid and thus goes to a rich kid school where they do projects and reports instead of tests and exams and also they get to pick the subject. Bruce just takes cases and then makes up a way for it to be relevant to the curriculum so that he can solve crimes in class.
Bruce: For my essay I choose to do the psychological and physical damage of kryptonite through a time period of 10 seconds,1 minute, and 5 minutes on-
Kid in the back of the class: Yo Mrs. G He can’t do Kryptonite I was gonna do something about Superman????
Bruce: It’s not about “Superman” it’s about Kryptonite and it’s effect on Kryptons.There’s a difference.
17 year old Bruce showing up to his fancy ass school with mask acne and poorly hidden bruises, trying to explain to his teacher why he needs more time in the library to read about the speed an object must travel to create its own sound barrier and why, hypothetically, that would be a bad idea to attempt
jason todd, with his clepto tendencies and hatredof men expressing anger with violence, probably taught bruce a lot about discipline. I mean I’m not saying young dick was a poster child, but come on. he was sweet, he wanted to be a good person, he didn’t have nearly as much drive to explore the dark possibilities as young jason did. I’m also not saying bruce used violence to express his anger towards his kids (maybe towards villains but NOT EVER his kids) but jason was just so different. the kid pissed him off. he stole from him, he defied him, he was wreckless and impulsive on missions. so bruce had his true first encounter with raising a difficult kid. he yelled, as almost all parents do, but upon seeing then the way it affected jason he wondered if maybe that wasn’t the right thing to do. he was confused, dick had never reacted to him yelling like that. but here jason was, pale and shaking, trying to hold back tears, not looking him in the eye. bruce learned to quiet his voice. he learned yelling signaled to jason that he was going to get hurt. and bruce being the person he is, decided he simply would not yell at jason. and still do this day, if he’s angry with him he doesn’t yell, sometimes he even softens his voice a bit. but every now and then he messes up. sometimes jason will stumble to the manor, shit faced, bloody, pockets full of cash, and bruce will care for him, but seethe on the inside. sometimes he raises his voice a little louder than he meant to, and even adult jason will flinch. but that’s another thing bruce has learned when it comes to raising some verytroubled kids. he knows when and how to apologize. sometimes he doesn’t want to. but he does. sometimes the kid should be the one apologizing but bruce still does it. jason, as full of anger and pain as he is, knows that despite bruce’s fuck ups. despite the past, his death, and their current rocky relationship, jason knows his dad wouldn’t hurt him. and he gets hurt. a lot. so it’s good for him to have someone to turn to. someone he knows won’t raise a finger against him.
Battinson somehow finds his way into the Prime universe and meets comics!Batman
Batgod takes one look at this traumatized, anxiety-ridden mess with all the social skills of an agoraphobic lobster and is like “I don’t care if he’s me, I’m already filling out the adoption paperwork”
It’s obvious Batman created mental illness for Bruce Wayne- but the body they both inhabit refuses to take any prescription medicine.
No tattoos at all- specifically goes out of his way not to get one.
This is canon I’m sure, but Batman is one of the only- if not the only- person in the universe who can handle the heat of Oliver Queen’s chili.
Bruce Wayne’s favorite color is purple or blue, Batman has no favorite color.
Now I’ll have to watch the upcoming Batman movie to decide how I feel on Robert Pattinson’s take or not. I will say I like how he looks as a live action Bruce Wayne though, and that the suit makes sense. I enjoy that.
Bruce Wayne had issues balancing the Batman persona for the first two and a half years. The public thought he was ill and reclusive.
There were multiple times where as Bruce Wayne removed the Batman attire, the makeup on his eyes would burn into them and make his eyes water. He had to train them to stop doing that.
Bruce/Batman hates the taste of alcohol.
There are some Mbti tests that claim Batman is an INTP. I disagree. I think he’s either ISTJ or INTJ. I don’t know- I just know that I’m an intp and that man is not. Probably.
Dislikes very strong weather. For example, hot and cold. Warm and cool are fine however. He does, however, like to use the lightning and storms to his advantage and build fear. It really gives the supernatural, street legend vibe to him.
Batman knows about the existence of Vigilante.
Although Batman is in fact outdone by the agility of Nightwing and Dick Grayson, he is one of the few people who can do a perfect split. This includes while using the gymnast rings.
Is (apparently) friends with Spawn. In mortal combat 11, there’s a dialogue where Spawn mentions it and refers to him as a friend. I find that interesting personally. Spawn whoops his ass in a fight by the way.
Batman will often eat crackers for sustenance because the lack of flavor and availability saves him from distractions.
Often thinks about Jason Todd during the holidays. Most notably Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Speaking of Jason Todd, he looks at his old suit a lot. He really does have a lot of regrets.
Batman, not as often as Todd, will think about Harley Quinn. When with Joker, he feels bad. When without, he wishes he could help her. In the Injustice universe, he accomplished this, and she was technically part of the Bat Family.
Amanda Waller knows Batman is Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne and Batman don’t know this.
Bruce Wayne had to learn how to play golf in order to blend in.
Catwoman is his soulmate i don’t care.
Not really about Batman but those Christopher Nolan movies are overrated and Rachel was just the worst. So was that catwoman tbh.
The original bat mobile was a big scary suv. This obviously changed over time.
He DOES sleep upside down like a bat. I love seeing that.
Keeps candy and lollipops on his belt in case he comes across children that need help or need to calm down. Also tissues.
Batman with spikey gloves >
Has mastered German. He speaks many languages, but German was the first that popped into my mind. Next up is probably Chinese.
Kyberverse Batman will function similar to the Arkham game series Batman. That is, I feel, one of the most comic accurate depictions of him.

When Bruce adopted Dick, everyone who knew of him through business or some fancy event would probably tell Dick when they first meet him “how lucky you are!” and “Bruce has such a good heart!” but to a freshly orphaned 9 year old who still very much misses the circus it sounded like he was being told to be fortunate of the circumstances that took him away from his home. Bruce understands this but he doesn’t want to directly confront Dick so the next time some mayor says “you’re so lucky to be living with him” without missing a beat Bruce goes “oh ABSOLUTELY, “ and goes on and on about how lucky he is that he shares the same roof as the WORLD-CLASS CHILD ACROBAT FROM HALY’S CIRCUS and how just last week Dick did a perfect double backflip and how he’s NEVER seen something like it and the mayor just awkwardly sidles out of the conversation and Dick is too dumbfounded by the whole exchange to remind Bruce that “it was just a single backflip actually” and “you’re the BATMAN you’ve done so much cooler stuff!” but Bruce does this for the rest of the evening and Dick finally asks him if he really meant all that and putting a hand on his ward’s shoulder, Bruce tells him “every word.” And Dick’s tiny smile was an indicator that maybe, just maybe, Alfred was right and that he wasn’t all that bad at the whole foster parent thing.
