A Different Batman

I want a Batman story where he starts off as a cheerful and a bit socially daft guy. Where Bruce Wayne is a complete goof and hopelessly romantic fool. He tries to court Talia or Selina with the extravagance and thoughtfulness of a man with the means and mind to try to give his love the most fantastically romantic time ever. He’d be so proud and happy for Dick and his team of superheroes, and all he can imagine is the good they’ll do when they become the next Justice league. Even the criminals in Gotham aren’t too violent, just people looking out for their own.

Then Jason comes into his life, He loves this child so much. The kid adores Alfred and follows him around like a duckling and is quietly delighted with all the toys, books, schooling, ect. that Bruce can provide. He’s smart, studious, sassy, curious, and adorably enthralled with magic (magic!Jason) practically a prodigy but still playing little pranks here and there. He can imagine Jason fitting in very well with Justice league dark if he wants to follow his big brother’s footsteps. Though that plan doesn’t quite play out as he’d hoped.

(I’m just so done with Jason only ever being destined for death and nothing more, and the death of a child being treated like no biggie or a goddamn joke. That shit should be goddamn traumatic and serious.)

However Jason is mercilessly murdered by the Joker, then Barbara is paralyzed, Talia doesn’t want anything to do with him, and Harvey well…Harvey went insane chasing shadows before killing himself. Bruce then starts to spiral into his dark and broody, emotionless, cold and calculating Batman. Turning paranoid and controlling, because if he could have planned for everything then he would have prevented the worst from happening to the people he cared about.

I want Batman’s closed off and harsh personality be a result of his life getting to a point of falling apart instead of the insanity of “dead parents” because frankly I’m sick of those damn pearls. I get it as a motivation to start being a hero but the rest of why he’s a dick to his allies and so damn standoffish about being in control all the time shouldn’t be tied to that. I think it should be a process of him losing his hopefulness to the thoughtless acts of cruelty later down the line.

Give me a batman that starts with everything to lose, a hopeful man who believes that people can change for the better if they were given a proper chance. That goodness is inherent because superman who has all the power to do anything still decides to do good. A batman who thought people were only evil because of desperation, or needed/wanted something but is proven so wrong that it slowly breaks him, into the batman we’re familiar with.

(the kind of batman that lashes out at Dick, ignores or doesn’t care for Tim and Steph, beats & banishes Jason from Gotham, and makes contingencies & plans to be able to take out his JLA friends)

Maybe even have the parents be secretly not the best people. I’ve been thinking about Martha Wayne being a high ranking member of the court of owls, and his father sharing a hand with Hugo strange to make Arkham asylum a hell on earth.

Lemme know what you guys think because frankly I kinda hate how toxic Batfam is and I really don’t care for trying to pretend it’s a good time to be with the kind of batman we have. Straightup fanon gooddad!Bruce is so far away from what Batman is, I can’t imagine them being the same person at all. At least with this kind of timeline I feel like it could possibly work.

tim: is stabbing someone immoral?

steph: not if they consent to it.

jason: depends who you’re stabbing.

dick: YES?!?

batfam buttcheek ranking (top 8)

(is this what has my life come to?)

disclaimer: this post is not meant to sexualize any of the characters included in it! it is simply me judging and ranking the batfamily’s butts based on their physical appearances!

thank you and enjoy!

#8 (bruce)

- i know we can only see the very edge but i can just tell he’s flat as a pancake.

- y’all know how hard it was to find a picture where you could see any of his ass?

- way too fucking hard.

- so for that he gets put in last place.

-5/10

-

#7 (duke)

- i really expecting him to have more cake idk

- like atleast a 2 layer yknow?

- kind of disappointed but atleast you can see a bit of roundness.

- the shadows make it hard to properly see

2/10

-

#6 (steph)

- side angles are more difficult to judge

- like i can’t tell if it’s thicc or just looks like it cuz it’s at the perfect angle

- it’s not tiny but it’s not thiccc (with three c’s) so i’d say pretty standard ass we have here

- the suit was also not exactly flattering

4.5/10

-

#5 (tim)

- i will say it’s actually better than i expected

- also yes this is the highest quality picture i could find

- it’s got about average thiccness but it lacks a bit of roundness

- overall a decent ass

5/10

-

#4 (alfred)

- omg alfred the buttler

- not really thicc or round but appreciate the view regardless

- he’s not a try hard who shows off his ass all the time *cough* dick *cough* and i can respect that

- but he knows how to wear the ass he was given and for that he wins in my heart

7/10

-

#3 (jason)

- hoo boy

- if this were a thigh competition…let’s just say their would have been no competition.

- it’s not as much thicc as it is toned.

- i appreciate a muscled ass though

9/10

-

#2 (cass)

- now THAT is a fine ass

- perfect mix of thicc, toned, and round.

- i almost didn’t add her to the list because i didn’t think i’d be able to do her description justice

- i think i did okay though

#1 (dick)

- let’s all stop pretending we didn’t know he was going to win

- like cmon there is no one even close

it is finally happening!!! pre-orders are open and i’m so excited for y'all to see the sheer amount of talent and love for the batgirls that this zine contains

this is a small snippet of my work here to get the ball rolling, and if you’re not convinced yet just go @batgirlzine and check out the bundles offered and previews being shared

anurarana:

I have literally not been able to stop thinking about this postby@autisticredhood all week I’m obsessed

Someone: You two are teenagers?? But you both look so much older

Steph: Well, excuse you-

Tim:Thanks

Tim: It’s the trauma

Braids ✨

This close to writing a fanfiction about the friendship between Tim Drake and Steph Brown and literally my only reference is the batfam webcomic and the very small bit of Tim we see in Titans

I haven’t been active on here in a while but let me introduce you to my newest hyperfixation: the Batfam. Specifically Steph.

Ok I’ve been way too busy lately to read the latest comics, and I need confirmation on something if anyone can help,

Did they just announce a THIRD Batgirl in DC Pride? Because wtf

If this is true I’m getting the vibe that DC is trying to see if they can get rid of Steph and Cass if people like Alyssia

Someone please tell me ANYTHING

Because why do we have 2 Batgirls and when it should be Cass period and Steph as Spoiler, why the hell is DC adding a 3rd one? No… something smells fishy

Maybe I’m overreacting but like I’m scared for Steph and Cass rn, this is not a good sign

Edit: I didn’t know that Alyssia was a character that already existed. As you can tell by this post that I had no idea who she was since she was a minor(?) character in New 52 and hasn’t been around in a while. I don’t know much about her yet although she sounds interesting, and I guess my worries of Steph and Cass being replaced has slightly swayed, so there’s nothing to worry about.

Again to RE-EMPHASIZE, I just wanted to know context about the latest issue I couldn’t and didn’t read yet, thanks

bruce wayne being a meany-pants :(

i love “voice of reason” steph. and dramatic tim

i love steph a lot
