Headcanon of our favorite playboy Brucie Wayne :
Bruce took the mantle directly after his world trip when he was ~20, and Selina was one of his first encounter. She has seen every Brucie's antics live for the last 10-15 years.
But, when you get married to a billionaire, he can buy you everything so what wedding present could be more than special, something that mean something deep for them both ?
My girl calls every female who's not a batkid and somehow her bachelorette party and Bruce's bachelor party merged in the Iceberg Lounge where a wild Brucie like we didn't see him since he's a dad ride this polebar ! Eyes candy for those ladies and gentlemen !

what is the batfam’s roman empire?
Jason: The fact that Bruce's favorite is clearly Damian when he brought him back but wouldn't even avenge me.
Damian: The fact that Todd is obviously Father's favorite because he was the first to be legally adopted.
Kate: Women. And I know you are too.
Tim: How we all have a Sans Undertale inside us.
Selina: How the giant penny is worth many regular pennies.
Harper: Wayne Enterprises owning the Daily Planet like that's not the most corporate thing ever.
Cullen: The CW passing on filming Supernatural in Gotham because it was too scary for audiences.
Luke: My holographic blueprint for a holographic board game.
Steph: The time I saw the Riddler face-down in the Batburgers parking lot sobbing.
Bette: My burning hatred for AI art.
Carrie: The fact that Steve Aoki was born into the Benihana fortune.
Dick: The Batcomputer's password being Superman123.
Barbara: Why Dick was allowed to set the Batcomputer password.
Helena: The Byzantine Empire.
Cass: The way your tongue knows how something feels before you lick it.
Bruce: Grocery list for tomorrow: milk, eggs, batarangs, more children.
Alfred: The secret society of butlers living in the walls rotating shifts to deal with this family.
Duke: The fact that OP gave me the ability to break the fourth wall with no canon basis whatsoever.

If I were to make an Arkham style game.
Probably a dlc, because idk if there's enough to have a full game.
General
K so Bruce is dead, the mantle of the bat is sort of being filled by Cassandra, dealing with the rogues gallery, and Red Hood deals in the miscellaneous threats like the street gangs. The other bats are still there in support rolls of course, babs as Oracle, tim investigating, ect....
Specific
Main bad guy: Deathstroke
Very simplified plot - Slade tries taking over Gotham using his mind control serum and Jason calls on an expert to help. Unfortunately, his friend and his sister don't exactly get along.
Playable characters: Cassandra as the Bat, Jason as Red Hood, and Rose Wilson.
Cassandra has access to most of Bruce's stuff and plays the closest to him, but her 'detective vision' has her reading her opponents body language instead of a scanner. She also utilizes swords and knives over batarangs. She moves through Gotham with a grapple and gliding wings. (Movement similar to Arkham Batman moving around Gotham)
Jason has his guns, he has to use ladders on buildings and has climbing shoes to scale. He can jump from building to building, but he is slower and much heavier than Cass. His visor shows him tactical information and weak points, also connects him to databases with information on whoever he is scanning. (Movement is of a heavy strong character, like wolverine in the wolverine origins game)
Rose of course uses her swords, which she can use to climb up and slide down buildings. Rose utilizes a lot of parkour to move. Her form of 'detective vision' is her using her precognition to see where enemies will be ahead of time, with phantom versions of them moving ahead of them. ( Movement is similar to the assassins creed series)
Basic idea for looks
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
I think Rose would incorporate more red and white than this, but this is the vibe.
Tumblr media
But with this mask
Tumblr media
Specifically so that Rose can tease him about Red Hood not actually wearing a red hood.
Each playable character can call in one of three options of other members of the family/friends to help in fights.
Jason: Dick, Kate, Harper
Cass: Duke, Tim, Steph
Rose: Eddie, Jericho, Damian

So i am thinking about what i'd do if i could make a future Batfam AU after Bruce dies/retires. And I think my main focus would be Tim and Damian.
Firstly, Dick is still Nightwing, now the leader of JL whitch integrated Titans. Jason is Red Hood and leads a Red Hood gang in Gotham, leading it with his own rules that limit and control most of Gothams crime (not that it stops it because the city is cursed on multiple levels). Steph is either Spoiler or Batgirl, both work well for her as aliases, she works as a vigilante. Kate retired with her girlfriend and Selina is taking care of little Helena Wayne. Alfred has sadly died to Bane. Harper and Duke work as Blue Bird and Signal, the daytime heroes of Gotham (they're friends, not a couple dw). Jace Fox is the Batman for Justice League.
Now Tim, he's Gothams Batman, the detective of the city, he's grouped up with Cass, the new Batwoman and the muscle of the duo. Carrey Kelly is their Robin. They deal with the classic street level Gotham crime, they usualy team up with Steph and deal with Jasons bs.
Damian is a member of Justice Leauge Dark, focusing dark magic, ocultism and satanism. He is also Batman, with a more mystic look (black suit, green accents). His Robin is Jarro who decided to join his brother after Bruce died.
And if he still existed I'd have Lance be Red X and kinda like a Robin Hood-lile figure. Terry is still living a calm life before he stumbled into the Batfam buisness.
If i forgot somebody, please tell me and i'll give info on what i'd do with them in the AU.

Batfam reacting to Bruce taking in ANOTHER kid
Alfred: always happy to have another kid but wishes Bruce would at least talk with the rest of the family before just getting another kid.
Dick: his entire personality is big brother so he'll love them immediately. Is concerned with the amount of kids Bruce has picked up over the years
Barbara: kinda similar to Dick, she'll immediately take on a big sister role. She'll have a talk with Bruce about taking in more kids.
Damian: Damian is accepting of a new face around the manor. Hes still working on his people skills so new people hes kinda distance with.
Jason: disappointed but not surprised. Also takes up a big brother role.
Tim: Not even phased by Bruce bringing new kids around. Welcomes new kid with open arms.
Cass: Immediately excited to have a new sibling/friend
Duke: happy to have a new face around. Glad hes getting further away from being the new guy. Doesnt see Bruce bringing kids in as a big deal anymore
Steph: Shes the one that makes the joke about Bruce collecting troubled kids
Harper: similar to Duke, she's happy to not be the new kid anymore.
Kate: happy that Bruce a big family to turn to when he needs them. Annoyed that she has to add another name to the list to buy gifts for the holidays
Selina: Bruce got an earful from her about endangering more kids. He means well to gets kids out of bad situations but they inevitably end up fighting crime with him. She still gets along great with the new kid though.
Thanks @lakeofthesocknessmonster for the prompt idea

How do you think Christmas with the batfamily would be/look?
And to add to that: Would every member be there willingly or would there be threats from certain people that there were no other choice, other than attending?
In a word: Chaotic
So, if Bruce was in one of his "World's Okayist Father" storylines, I feel like most of the kids would come around with only minimal complaining.
However, if he is in his bitch boy phase I can only see them coming if Alfred requested it. Even then, I don't think Alfred would choose to put anyone through that. If he did, I doubt anyone besides maybe Damian and Cass would show up. That is a big maybe, though, because Dick and Steph would have concerns about that. So, they might step in. Dick would offer a meet up without Bruce at a nice restaurant. Nothing too fancy, but still nice. That way all the kids could see Alfred without having to deal with Bruce.
Honestly, though, I prefer decent father Bruce Wayne, so I would like to think it'd be more the latter. Also, given the batkids, it wouldn't be just them but any friends or lovers they have as well. Like the house would be loud. Bruce would pretend to dislike it at first, but he loves it.
I could see Bruce trying to give thoughtful gifts instead of just expensive ones. One year, he even tries his hand at crafting. It did not turn out well. He might have hot glue gunned his hand about 5 times. However, the kids appreciated the gifts. They are hung up in the older kids' homes, despite them telling everyone that they probably threw them out.
Also, because it's the batfam, everyone gets an "assignment" every year. Like Jason helps with cookies and Christmas dinner. (He and Cullen are the only ones granted kitchen privileges.) Selina, Dames, Duke, Cass, Tim, and Steph help decorate the house. Harper, Lucius, Luke, and Dick wrap presents. Barbara is Grand Central Station of sorts and sets up lists of everything needed. As well as best times to get things. Kate and Bruce get the tree. Cullen makes the best hot chocolate, so he helps in the kitchen. And everyone gets together to decorate the tree.
Also, they always hold a party at the house. Well technically two, one is a gala for Wayne Enterprise and all it's conglomerates.
The other is a huge party for the family and all their friends. It is the one time Bruce doesn't mind having other supers in his city. Also, most criminals aren't stupid enough to pull anything on that day. Someone did try once and was met with all of the Justice League, Teen Titans, Young Justice, The Outlaws, etc.

Batfam During Quarantine: First Patrol (Remastered)
Batfam During Quarantine: First Patrol
Hey, quick heads up, this is a slightly reworked version of the second post I made for this series. My continuity on this series got really messed up for a bit and I have so many drafts that I still yet to publish so I'm going through all of my old stuff to fix the chronology of the stories and also put a bit more pressure on me to finish this series. Please keep in mind that my writing skills kinda improve throughout the series, so this is not my best but just somewhat reworked, and there is a good chance this will be reworked again in the future.
Dick: Unfortunately there was a homicide down in crime ally a few hours ago...
Jason: Ooooooh! What are we talking about? Was he shot, strangled, mangled, stabbed?
Dick: He was cut open and the killer dug around in his organs. Only the lungs were missing.
Jason: So mangled, got it! I will give you $50 for the case!
Dick: It’s not a bid, I’m going to assign the
Damian: $100 for the case!
Stephanie: $125!
Duke: $200!
Jason: $210 and I won’t use any fire arms!
Dick: Interesting, who thinks they can top that?
Tim: $225 and I’ll give you my secret stash of Keurig coffee cups!
Cassandra: $250 and I’ll let you take my mini fridge!
Jason: $350 and I would exchange my lethal rounds for rubber bullets and I won’t cause property damage or kill anyone!
Dick: SOLD!
Cassandra: DAMMIT!!!
Dick: Okay, so cases will be assigned as normal with the exception of Jason’s. Now because we’re in the middle of a strict city wide lock down crime has reached a low meaning some of you will have shorter nights on patrol. Each sector has been divided between all of us so make sure to stay in your sector. There’s been a little bit of activity caused by Scarecrow in sector 1, Babs I’m putting you in charge of putting a stop to it. Kate you have 2. There isn’t much going on there but there has been a reports that bags of heroine and cocaine are being left against some windows. It could be nothing but just take a look to see if anything is going on. Tim and Steph you have 5....
Tim: Woah, I thought we weren’t partnering up!
Dick: You’ll partner up for an hour, but mostly on calm nights you and Steph will patrol for 3 hours by yourselves. You’ll get half of the shift and Steph will get the other half. Anyway, Selina you have 3. Cass, 4. Harper, 8. There’s not much going on in those sectors but just patrol for a little bit. Duke, last night there were some gun shots heard in sector 9, go investigate. Jason you’re in sector 6. Julia and Alfred, you’re going to be here updating us on anything that happens. And Damian you’re going with me in sector 7.
Damian: Because you don’t trust me!
Dick: No, because you’re Robin. It would be weird for Batman not to be with Robin while you’re in Gotham.
Damian: Oh, yeah that makes sense.
Dick: We’ll be dealing with Two-Face. There’s been chatter that he’s going to make a move on the Falcone crime family. I’ll take sanitation duty tonight. Keep your radios on and contact someone if you needs help. Now, move out!
Batgirl
Batgirl: *she flies over the civilians in sector 1 in the bat-jet and sprays an antidote for the fear toxin until noticing Scarecrow, then drops down beside him and kicks his side*
Scarecrow: *falls to the side* Ah! Batgirl! *he gets up and tries to run away*
Batgirl: Oh no you don't! *chases after Scarecrow*
Scarecrow: *turns a corner and hides along the side*
Batgirl: *turns the corner too and is immediately stabbed in the arm with a syringe, she is then standing in her apartment and hears a knock at her door* No, no, no, no, no! *she then moves forward towards the door and places her hands on the door knob*
Scarecrow: Oh yes Batgirl! Not even you, let alone Batman, could stand this new batch that I made specially for you lot. *moves closer to Batgirl and kicks her side*
Batgirl: *she opens the door and is shot in the stomach, then falls to her side, she sees the Joker standing in the door frame, staring at her limp body, as he begins to start kicking her* Ouch!
Scarecrow: *he keeps kicking Batgirl as she is lying on her side in the street*
Batgirl: NO!!! *she tries to fight the feeling of paralysis, she begins to bring her knees to her chest*
Scarecrow: *he kicks her again and this time Batgirl rolls to her knees with the last kick* Stop fighting Batgirl. There is no use in doing so! *he moves closer and winds up for another kick*
Batgirl: *she rolls backward and gets back to her knees and sees the Joker shoot the floor of her apartment but the recoil makes him stumble a little bit, which allows her enough time to stand back up and she squares up*
Scarecrow: I anticipated this much resistance, but I know that you are still seeing the boogeyman that lives in your head. *he walks closer to Batgirl*
Batgirl: Rent fucking free. *she throws her punch but the Joker dodges it*
Scarecrow: You're slow.
Batgirl: *kicks in the direction that the Joker was standing in but he dodges*
Scarecrow: Weak. *he begins to reach forward to inject Batgirl with more fear toxin*
Batgirl: *grabs Jokers arms as he tries to grab her, but he pushes her against a wall*
Scarecrow: Stop resisting, you can't fight me and the toxin at the same time.
Batgirl: *continues to try and push his arms away, then kicks up at his balls*
Scarecrow: Ah! *he hunches over only to get kneed in the face which causes him to fall back* Fucking Bat-bitch!
Batgirl: *she reaches for her utility belt and reaches for the antidote, and stabs it into the inside of her thigh and leans against the wall*
Scarecrow: *he gets up and lunges over*
Batgirl: *dodges Joker and kicks him again, she reaches for a sleeping agent*
Scarecrow: *stands back up*
Batgirl: *stabs Joker with the sleeping agent and continues to punch and kick him until Joker falls to the floor unconscious, she looks around and notices that her soundings have changed, she then sits down for a minute and collects her thoughts* Batgirl to Bat-cave.
Julia: Go ahead.
Batgirl: Scarecrow is down.
Julia: Copy, go ahead and tie him up then survey the area and continue to help spread the antidote.
Batgirl: Got it.
Red Hood
Red Hood: *looks at the the crime scene and finds a pair of bloody latex gloves from behind a trash bin* Penny-two.
Julia: Yes, Red Hood?
Red Hood: I’m going to stop by to run some finger prints and a blood sample. 
Julia: Alright, I’ll set it up.
Red Hood: *he rushes over to his motorcycle and rides off to the Bat-cave*
Batwoman
Batwoman: *spots a girl in a sky blue hoodie and a dude in a yellow hoodie, and drops down into the alley as they place drugs against the windows*
Girl and Dude: *turn and look at Batwoman* Run! *they begin to run*
Batwoman: *She kicks the boy into the wall, grabs the girl by the shit and pins her against the opposite wall* Why are you doing this?
Girl: You know exactly why! Not all of us could run around the city playing dress up, taking down criminals and claim to protect this city! Some of us need this just to get by!
Batwoman: Where’s your boss?
Girl: Don’t have one. We make it ourselves.
Batwoman: *she grabs her grappling hook and fires at the top of the of the building and reels her up, then lifts the girl over the edge* Where’s your boss?
Girl: I’m telling you, we don’t have one!!! Don’t drop me, please!!!!
Batwoman: Who's we?
Girl: Me and my boyfriend!!!
Batwoman: Leave, take your drugs! If I see you or your boyfriend again I won’t hesitate to drop you from a rooftop! *they lower down to the ally*
Girl: *grabs her boyfriend and they run*
Batwoman: *she reaches for her utility belt and places the card of a local rehab center in between the windows, then continues to patrol the area to make sure there is no more drug activity*
Red Hood and Julia
Julia: The blood definitively belongs to the victim.
Red Hood: Run the prints then.
Julia: Already done. They belong to a man named Doug McGrath. He’s a crook arrested several times for drug trafficking, drug possession, and suspected for robbery but was not convicted. He is also has 3 accounts on a HENCH.
Red Hood So this could be the work of one of Bruce’s rogues.
Julia: Indeed.
Red Hood: Can you send me his location?
Julia: I’ll get on that now. Done, his coordinates
Red Hood: Got it, if you could, hack into his HENCH account and see what offers he has recently received. *he begins walking back to his motorcycle*
Julia: It’s insulting that you even asked.
The Signal
Signal: *he drops to the street and walks around where the shooting occurred and notices the two bullet holes in the buildings, but witnesses have said they heard three. He walks down the ally and searches for anything but can’t find the bullet, but finds blood on a few trash bags. He opens the backs and looks inside and finds a pair of lungs and a few other organs*
Thug: Hey kid!
Signal: *turns and runs towards the thug, throwing a few punches*
Thug: *pulls out a gun and shoots far over Signal's shoulder*
Signal: Nice shot, I heard the Empire is hiring. *he sweeps the thugs legs from underneath him* Maybe you should get a job as a Stormtrooper. *he throws a few more punches knocking the thug out. then examines the body and notices on his phone that there was a notification from HENCH*
Red Robin and Spoiler
Red Robin: I don’t get it! I could patrol the entire time and still help Bruce. It’s called never going to sleep.
Spoiler: You realize you're the only person I know that has ever made me worry about their health, right? Why can’t you be normal?
Red Robin: Ask my parents.
Spoiler: Dick.
Red Robin: No, I’m Tim. You’re getting your Robin’s mixed up.
Spoiler: HA!. Don’t you think you’re spending too much time with Nightwing if you’re making jokes like that?
Red Robin:  Eh, maybe.
Red Hood: Hey, Red Robin, I need you to patrol 6 for a bit. I’m following a lead. I got the okay from Batman.
Red Robin: Got it. *he then takes off, jumping from roof to roof off to the other side of the city*
Batman and Robin
Batman: Got it Red Hood. Robin, Red Hood is on his way.
Robin: I hate Red Hood!
Batman: You realize you’re quite a bit like him, right?
Robin: NO I’M......
Batman: SHHHH! We don’t want to attract too much attention.
Robin: I am nothing like Red Hood.
Batman: *looks out at the site and sees Bane and Two-Face then grabs Robin's head and turns it towards the direction of where the two are standing, then watch as a black SUV drives in and Carmine Falcone steps out*
Falcone: I see you brought your muscle. Where’s my drugs?
Two-Face: I have it where it should be. 
Falcone: I'm not playing games, Dent! Give me my drugs or there will be consequences.
Two-Face: Hit me with your best shot!
Batman: Signal, Spoiler, Red Robin I’m sending you the coordinates to our location. Somethings about to go down. Red Hood, where are you?
Red Hood: Not too far.
Batman: Everyone else stand by, in case this goes south.
Falcone: Release the beast.
Batman and Robin: *jump in between the few crooks and start throwing punches and kicks, when they hear a gun click from the behind them*
KGBeast: I've been waiting for a while to put down "The man who killed Batman" on my list. *aims right for Batman*
Robin: *turns and looks at KGBeast* You ASSHOLE!!!! *rushes towards KGBeast*
Batman: ROBIN! NO! 
Bane: *rushes towards Batman*
Batman: *attempts to evade Bane’s each strike, eventually diving towards Two-Face, knocking him down*
Bane: *punches towards the two*
Batman: *rolls out of the way, causing Bane to punch Two-Face in the head*
KGBeast: *fires towards Robin*
Robin: *dodges each bullet then jumps on KGBeast's back, he then reaches for a batarang and slashes at KGBeast's back*
KGBeast: *tries to get Damian off of his back*
Red Hood: *shows up and starts shooting at KGBeast*
Robin: *jumps off of KGBeast's back, throwing a few explosive batarangs at KGBeast's feet*
KGBeast: *flys back a few feet*
Robin: *rolls forward landing next to Red Hood* You could have shot me!
Red Hood: I would have enjoyed that! *lifts up his arm and shoots Falcone a few times*
Falcone: *falls to the floor*
Bane: *throws Batman into a wall*
Signal: *arrives and runs right for Bane* Red Hood, boost me!
Red Hood: *squats down and gets ready to launch Signal towards Bane*
Batman: *throws a few batarangs at Bane's face causing Bane to look away*
Signal: *throws an uppercut to Bane's face*
Batman: *runs up at Bane and punches him in the face*
Red Hood: *jumps on Bane's back and puts him in a choke hold, hanging from his neck*
Bane: *tries to swing Red Hood off but falls to the floor*
Dick: *huff* Anyone else feeling the aster? *huff*
Jason: AHG!!!! NO MORE WORDS FROM YOU!!
Dick: Come on.............
Jason: NO!

Now we ring in the annual bat chess tournament.
Round 1 goes as such:
[Alfred v Damian] Three draws until Alfred took the W. Wisdom really does wonders.
[Bruce v Tim] Nerd on nerd defensive play until Tim gets ahead in material and narrowly closes the deal.
[Dick v Steph] Stephanie cramming four hours of chess theory a day off competitive adrenaline for the last week paid off and check mate.
[Harper v Comish Gordon] Gordon was not aware chess was this complicated. Harper leads.
[Luke v Harley] Luke loses on time because he’s not used to having to click the clock and forgets during Harley’s mid game rambling.
[Duke v Talia] Duke also did not prepare and he traded too much material without knowing how to checkmate on low stock. Talia slides the win.
[Cass v Selina] Quiet and slow game running the time low for both of them. Comes down to who can walk their pawns to promote faster and Cass stays one square ahead.
[Jason v Barbara] Tension is rising and Babs knows Jason’s nerdage has collected him too much chess knowledge for her to beat him on pure skill. However, emotional manipulation is a viable strategy. He throws the board and is disqualified. He then leaves to take Damian and Duke for ice cream.
Round two 🔔🔔🔔
[Alfred v Tim] Strong opening by Tim suggesting either the Catalan or Queen’s Gambit. Alfred keeps his dark square bishop safe and ready to counter. It’s a close match, but Tim misses the line and blunders a queen. Cut to a few moves later with a mate in three and Tim resigns.
[Steph v Harper] They mutually agree they’d rather do bullet instead. A nasty knight placement gives Steph the change to clear a helluva lot of material right before the clock clicks.
[Harley v Talia] While entertaining a nice conversation about their lovely sons, a rook/queen mate seals the deal and Talia continues. Harley then steals a quarter of all the boys ice cream.
[Cass v Barbara] Cass pulls a slick queen trap into a bait and switch. W Cass.
Final round 🔔🔔🔔!!!
You may be thinking, there’s 4 people left, how is this the final round. When the bats are good at chess so it’s time things take a turn. This year the final round is four way chess. Harley takes the mic to announce the game and the rest negotiate bughouse teams after the game is over.
Alfred pushes his pawns for a more aggressive approach with Steph taking him up on the quick trades. Talia slips into a bishop/queen/pawn line breaking into Steph castle while she was busy. Cass is going defensive on the knights with a nice fianchetto to prepare for action; she’s going material over mates to start. Alfred and Steph are weak from trading making them desperate and easy to beat out in the long run. Alfred and Cass take a combined attack on Talia and Steph jumps in. As the clock runs out Steph is mated and Talia in a rough check. Tick. Tick. Tick. And right before time Cass makes a sweep on the remainder of material to secure the win.
She smiles as if it was all natural talent knowing full well she’s been reviewing chess theory and their personalities and strategies to create the best plan of attack and secure this years trophy after last years out in the first round fiasco.
Good games all around and chess pieces on the floor.

AU where Bruce isn’t a billionaire but just you’re regular everyday history teacher. He still has all his martial arts training and stuff because he meets Selina and Talia in college and is like ‘hot women... must be able to keep up with her in a fight...’ and no parents (well Alfred exists but yk), but is otherwise normal. No Batman.
Then he meets small Dick Grayson, recently orphaned in a whole new country, and his adoption senses are like ‘hnggg’.
And small Jason Todd before his mom dies and he winds up on the streets so when Jason goes missing from class he gets worried and finds him and is like ‘hey Dick do you want a new brother’.
Given Tim went to boarding schools I can’t see him meeting him first, so maybe he meets Steph first?? And he notices how no one seems to care where she is etc and is like ‘can I adopt you??’
And THEN Tim’s parents die ig and then Steph’s like ‘yo can you adopt by bestie’.
And then he meets Cass I guess?? Not as a teacher. Maybe she saves him from being mugged or something and his child sense immediately tingles and he’s like ‘child?? With?? No home?? Would you like me to-’
Reiterating he’s a history teacher, so he probably has like a three bedroom apartment and already has five kids.
Then Talia is like ‘hehe soo remember when I said I miscarried well ACTUALLY-’ and Bruce is like ‘wtf this is a. child. Why does child have. Sword.’ And Talia’s like ‘oh I thought you’d use all your martial arts training to go out dressed up as a Bat and beat up bad guys so I could use the terrifying image you cast as a way to train our son more.’ And Bruce like ‘wtf no I have better coping mechanisms than that’ ‘oh - wait why are there so many rats here?’ ‘THOSE ARE MY CHILDREN TALIA-’
Dick still hates Talia because I find that hilarious. Damian is like five, already carting around a sword, and Bruce DOES NOT have exactly one (1) coping mechanism of cage fights in a fursuit so he’s like ‘Okay. Let’s try to work out your aggression is a less violent way’ ‘FATHER I WILL BE YOUR ONE TRUE HEIR’ ‘To what? My teaching job? Okay.’
Then Duke’s parents are Jokerized (bc the Rogues still exist) and he stops showing up to class and Bruce gets worried again and finds this child trying to take on the Joker by himself and is like ‘okay yeah no’.
And then one day he gets Cullen Row in class, and he’s a sweet kid, kind of jumpy, but then he sees some assholes picking on him for being gay and goes all teacher mode and is like ‘do you want me to talk to your parents??’ and Cullen’s like ‘lol my dad would probably give them a medal’ ‘Hmmm okay so can I adopt-’ Naturally Harper is a package deal.
Basically Bruce adopts all his kids but IS NOT a violent furry so he’s a good dad and doesn’t enlist them into his weird ass ‘war on crime’ or whatever he calls it.
Also the kids get to share rooms now and fight over bathrooms-

The one where Steph, Cass, Tim and Bernard get drunk and infiltrate Duke's high school winter prom by looking too much like teens.
Everything is fine - they don't cause trouble cause Bernard is there and also cause Duke will destroy them if they ruin his first relaxing moment in months - until a teacher finds them drinking in the football field and demands to call their parents. Tim is very drunk and gives Bruce's number.
Bruce is very worried because while is true that Duke is been dealing with a lot he is a good kid and not really one for underage drinking. He spends the whole car trip worring he isn't offering enough support for Duke and shouldn't be giving him space to process his mom condicion even if Duke asked him for. He also starts questioning if Duke's friends are somehow a bad influence.
The thing is when he enters the school and the teacher says he will take them to the detencion room he put the kids he pass over the ball room and Duke is there with a crown on his head cracking jokes over Gotham insanity with his usual group of teens (and Harper, since they were presented to each other they matched and Duke started trying to include her in his hang outs) and aparently having the time of his life.
So since they go to the same school, Bruce's only logical conclusion is that DAMIAN was the one who got caught underage drinking (he didn't conside it at first cause Damian is fourteen and will only start high school next year so he likely woudn't be on prom) and he spends the five minutes it take to get to the room with the fear of god (Talia) in his hearth.
Imagine his surprise when instead he finds a shit eating grim Steph ("What's up, B"), a confused looking Tim ("Guess I got detencion"), a guilty Bernard ("Sorry, Mr. Wayne") and an unimpressed Cass ("Hey, dad"). After convincing the teacher that "no, no, they are adults, Tim just likes to lie he is seventeen for no reason" and paying so the teacher don't call the police over the intruders a very tired Bruce goes home questioning why he has so many kids.
For some reason (because Bruce will end up telling Alfred and they don't want a disapointed stare) Tim and Cass choose to spend the night at Steph's. Bernard goes to, but is more because Tim is asking and also because if not he would have to spend sometime in the car alone with Bruce and he is terrified of the man.

DC Comics highschool AU where Bruce 18 and Harvey 18 are the golden twins (lovers) of the football team, but after an injury, Harvey is replaced with that nerd from smallville who's in the school's newspaper, and he's able to make Bruce cheer too !
Grrr
So Harvey's integrating the cheerleaders (and debate) team to stay close of the field and his mentor is the girl rumoured to be the great grandgirl of the last Chinese Emperor Talia Al-Ghul.
In this AU, there is an unofficial club of heavily mentally scarred gothamite kids, you know who i'm talking about, and they have been adopted by the Golden Twins (lovers), so better not mess with them.
Everybody knows Dick 17 , he has to settle down in Gotham when his parents died and social services were looking for a solution, Alfred Pennyworth took him in, he was there with Bruce that night. Captain of the gymnastic team, no enemy guy, the only one able to shine brighter than Harvey. Someone tried to mess with his girlfriend once, Kori Anders, apparently he also learnt muay thai on the road.
Jason Todd 16 , Stephanie Brown 15 , Duke Thomas 14, Harper 16 and Cullen Row 14 can't and won't deny coming from Park Row, sorry, crime alley, Duke is actually from Bristol, but you know, nuances are too complicated. They met each other in foster system and Dick too.
One day, when the orphanage was running very low on money, Jason appeared with multiple bags of food. The others thought he was joking when he said he stole the 4 wheels of the mayor's Bentley, when he, Jacob Kane, came with the police they weren't joking so much.
Long story short, they are Kane's wards now, it's was a package deal.
Jay and Duke are making the glorious hours of writing club, Jason would like theater and Duke chemical but Jacob made them pick a sport, Jason was kind of forced to go to the football defensive team, (Jake didn't digest the L against Metropolis in 86) and Duke for the running team. As fast as light.
Steph is Lois Lane's right hand for the school's newspaper, she's running their social medias with great sucess and is the head of gossip departement. Clark is the left hand for the investigation departement. She won against Jason, Harvey, Clark and others *wink wink* the biggest eater contest. She's now a subject for the quantum physics club.
Harper leads the electronics club, the school still remembers when her dog sized spider drone was unleashed. She's also in the kickboxing club.
Cullen is vibing in the theater and art club.
Kate Kane 18 can't stand all the dumbasses above but if she has a dream where you are glaring at them she will break your knees. Her father wanted her to do ballet, she's doing music and kickboxing. Bullying is her love langage.
Tim Drake 15 is a little genius coming in HS at 12, a unique feat until a certain someone from middle east came to school... He's driving Edward Nygma insane by solving all his riddles, photography and and electronic club. His parents are rich but always absent. 7 years ago, Alfred invited him for thanksgiving, never really left since.
Damian Al-Ghul 13 and Cassandra Wu-San 16 are cousins, they are not related but their family have known each other forever and Cass was there the day the demon spawned. Damian is Dusan's Al-Ghul son, who's 30 years older than his little sister Talia, the two are really too much well trained in martial field to be normal. Damian's is leading the escrima club.
Cass, despite being mute, is leading kickboxing club, noboby ever won a round against her. In the entire country. Except for her big sister Sandra Wu-San, also known in professional wrestling as Lady Shiva, who could give her a draw. Also she can't use technology to save her life.
The Wu-San are the adopted daughters of Dinah Drake (second cousin of Tim) and Ted Grant, a former world heavyweight boxing champion and a professional wrestler known as Wildcat. Together they have a bio daughter, Dinah Jr Laurel Drake-Grant.
A girl, Selina Kyle 18 claims she's not related to them but still has a permanent room in their house if she wants to come. Teddy met Jacob Kane in the army and were deployed in middle east together, he found his girls in some destroyed village in the Middle East and resigned right after.
Talia and Damian are from one of the oldest Asian family, and very old money. Some argues that was their family who created the first philosopher's stone. Their grandpa being the only person on Earth from the XIX century still alive is not helping. Ras wife's family helped the Americans in the Middle East that how he met Ted and Jacob.
Talia 18 is in the cheerleading club because of her HUUUUUUUGE crush on Bruce Wayne, best grades ever everywhere. Wants to become a vet.
Nyssa 17 Al-Ghul is in the kickboxing club and write her secret stuff just for her.
Barbara Gordon 17 is the daughter of the commissionner, someone shot her, she's paralysed. She's the captain of wheelchair basketball and in the electronics. She's a godess at armwrestling. For real she's an hydraulic press. She's really close of Dick Grayson and maybe she has adopted Steph, Cass, Harper as hers. Her own pose in school is with Dinah Laurel and Helena Bertinelli.
She's very competitive and will take very badly if Tim is just behind her again at the Olympics of hacking this year.
Diana 18 (who is at least as tall as Clark, i'm right on this) is leading the wrestling team and history club, she's a exchange student from Greece from a monastry where men are forbidden as a diplomatic move with her sisters. (in reality the opposite exists, for real). Her accent makes every boys and girls fall for her. She has a very strong sens of justice. One day she saw Bruce and Clark, not even talking together and..."Your mine now ! We're having tacos tonight !" They knew they couldn't negotiate.
Ollie Queen 18, everybody knows he will go to a board school one of the four (three) true childhood friends of Bruce Wayne. Captain of the archery team. Came with his own crew, all in the team. Desperatly in love with Dinah Jr.
Zatanna Zatara 18, her father was a close friend of Thomas Wayne, she's on a very good way to become a magician herself. One of the four (three) true childhood friends of Bruce Wayne. Leads theater club.
Hal Jordan 18, wants to become a jet fighter, obsessed with construction games. Mathematic club and running team.
Kendra Saunders 18, also known as Hawkgirl, because the week-end she's doing BASE Jump.
John Jones 18 and his half-sister Megan Morse 17, they are refugees from oversea after a coup. They love the special effects in movies and theaters so they are is this club. They came with
Kori Anders 17, princess in exile of Tamara, she's a really sweet girl so the school asked their sweetest student to guide her through her new life : Dick Grayson. Nobody knows how she mastered english in so little time. She had troubles with the differencies beetween the two countries. Everyone's favourite. Hurting, even a little Kori is declaring war to the whole school. She's also taller than anybody and very muscular. She kinda adopted Jason ?
Rachel Roth 14, is the daughter of the King of Azaroth, nobody really knows where it is. She's in the meditation and spiritual club. The only one allowed to hug, kiss, and touch her is Kori. The constant barking with Damian Al-Ghul can't only be hatred.
Donna Troy 17, Cassie Sandmarks 15 and Artemis Grace 16, they came with Diana. They all had a "Oh my god, he's so pathetic, I love him." With a Gotham Boy. They are all very tall and strong and in the weightlifting club.
Clark 18 and Jon 14 come from Smallville and are, 1) the sweetest guys ever, 2) fucking STRONG, there is a video on the differents groupchats of them, lifting the school gargoyle after a storm. Maybe farm strenght isn't the only explanation.
Kon 15 and Bizz 14 are from metropolis, Ma Kent's sister married Papa Luthor and they had Lex and then one rebelious and one albino with a speach impeachement, who is also the size of a polar bear. But, beware, Bizz is Jason Todd and Artemis love child. They haven't really figured yet what they want to do. Bizz is in special class with Cassandra Wu-San so you can regulary see her on his back giggling.
Linda 17 and Karen 18 kent, cousins of Clark by Pa Kent came back in town a few years ago after they lived their whole life in California. Linda is in the well-being club and liked by everyone. Karen is more on the amazonians side of the force and can't help herself but have homoerotic sparring with any strong woman on sight.
Dinah Jr Laurel Drake-Grant 18 embrassed her mom legacy and already took the mantle of Black Canary and can already put stages on fire. Her perfect figure must not makes you forget that she can beat your ass in seconds because she's in the kickboxing club too. Probably why Ollie is so in love. If you ask her if she's single, she would either tell you to fuck off if dhe doesn't like you or tell you she's already married with further explanation. (Could be either the stage, or Barbs and Helena).
Roy Harper 17 is in the archery team and music club with Dinah, nobody can sing the country and blues like him. He kinda adopted Jay with Kori too. Him and Jay made a pact to quit alcohol and drugs after they had a bad trip together on a joint in the toilet at a party together.
Lian Harper 14 is his little sister and will stay single until she's 30, at least. Well, everyone on the Arrow Team would like that. She loves hanging out with Dick and the others. Archery team too.
(I don't actually quite know a thing on the rest of the team, but they are there and well.)
The Allens all have their buddies too and are putting the race tracks on fire. Their father Jay Garrick holds multiple records of speed and gold medals. But not for long to his hapinness.
The Curry family comes from the islands in pacific ocean and are setting new records every years in swimming competition. They are all in bio courses to study marine life.
Harley Quinn 18 went in school with Bruce after his parent's murder, saw him sad, and never left him. One of the four (three) true childhood friend. She won't follow any rules but she's not a bad person. Wants to help everyone with their mental health, got a pretty big tik tok account and instagram on this topic. Her ex boyfriend, Jack, made her do bad things. But her (girl)friends Pamela, Selina and Bruce and a few others (all the people above) quickly talked to him. (Alfred signed a 100 000 dollars check for surgery)
Pamela Isley 18 leads the botanic club, she doesn't like people, like at all, would talk to grass but not you, she only started to like her figure when Harley couldn't stop ranting about her "water melon boobies" and "starship butt" in PE's locker room . Anybody else would be dead, but...It was Harley ? And Selina was laughing her ass off.
Selina Kyle 18, aka Catgirl because she's always wearing stuff with cat, her bagpack, cat ears, cat make up. She has a super model walk and won't accept shit from anyone. She wants to be a vet with Talia.
Jack Napier : still in the coma. AKA Joker, a nickname gained in jail for minors.
Thomas Eliott 18, the minus one true childhood friends of Bruce Wayne, wants him dead. Jealous that he had his inheritance before him.
(I spent 4 hours on this. Why ? BECAUSE I'M BATFAN)

Tumblr media
No, I didn't forget, I have time to at last talk about Batman #136 and my thoughts on the issue. Well pertaining to Cass as best I can (with the three panels we're given).
So this issue is Bruce recovering from the events of the last two arcs both mentally and physically. And... failing in all regards by hiding his trauma from everyone.
Will this be the crux of the next event (Batman vs. Catwoman War)? Who knows. I feel like it might be an element though, and that it'll shake up the status quo we currently have of a rather large Bat-Family.
Tumblr media
Just the whole Bruce is hiding losing his hand to the family and lying to Babs. You can see the alarm bells building on and visualize those who'd think Bruce should take time off and those who shouldn't.
Though I couldn't help when reading this issue and thinking of Detective Comics #790 where Bruce is having SERIOUS mental issues and a certain someone notices it and Bruce realizing he has to talk to someone.
Tumblr media
Though he can maybe fool everyone with subterfuge, Cass is kind of the exception to the rule.  She can read the body language of someone and even if that person is trying HARD, ticks like Bruce is giving off in #136 will give him away.
It almost makes me wish there was an issue in-between this and the next Bat event (after Knight Terrors) where Cass just pops up and knows Bruce is avoiding her for fear she'll catch on (and she does).
Tumblr media
I do miss that confessional that Cass can bring to Bruce because of all the people in the family, she'd be the open ear to him, and the most understanding.
It's the one part of their dynamic I do miss. It's one of the elements I feel is kind of missing in the mainline Batbooks these days. Where that was the added functionality of the family. They did look out after one another.
Not to mention I do enjoy Bruce/Cass working in Tec and him showing up in Batgirls. But... I do miss moments like these more. Where Bruce just opens to someone and Cass gets it. Gets it more than Babs, Dick, Jason, Steph, Duke, Damian, Kate, or Tim.
Again, it's an element of why her/Bruce are so alike mentally that again why she is Bruce's real heir. Because she understands the mission of the symbol brings.
Tumblr media
But I get "the why" she's distracted to Bruce's mental state. She's in the moment. After all the stuff that's gone on in the DCU time. You can tell by her posture in the issue she's enjoying the moment and the tranquility of it all.
Tumblr media
But again, I just wish writer Chip Zdarksky was given maybe one more issue before all the hijinks occur with whatever Selina and Bruce have against one another.
Just to have Cass address the elephant in the room.
That she knows, and Bruce confides with her of his fears, but maybe she's all, "I trust you'll find your way." type of thing. Just whatever to put the plot with where it's gonna go.
But you can tell this issue was the last "healthy" moment we'll be getting out of this Bat-Family as something bad is gonna happen with some old-fashioned status quo changes.
We already know Cass's will still be a bat and be joining the Birds of Prey.  We know Jason is gonna side with Selina over whatever issue is going on. But there's still Dick/Babs (who seem like a package deal now instead of a single opinion sadly), Tim, Steph, Duke, and Kate.
That's not even counting on the "wildcards" like "Um where is Jace, Luke, Harper, or Jean-Paul?" in regards to this mess that's about to blow?
I'll admit this is the first "main" story of Zdarsky's Batman I did enjoy in a long while. I've been enjoying more the side stories with Tim and really felt the last arc was like a Namek and went on waaaaay too long.
I'm still unsure of whatever is coming from this event, but eh it has Cass so my eyes will stay focused on her character throughout and what she does.
But anyway, I just feel some prime character work with Cass/Bruce is alluding us here.  Stuff that can make some fascinating contrasts later on with Selina and Jason.

What are your thoughts on the whole Tim Drake story so far?
I'm mixed honestly.
On the one hand, I'm fine with Tim being bi, nothing wrong with that and it can cover a lot of ground if you have the right writer to work with it. However, I feel like, on the other hand, the choice of writer right now for him in regard to YJ and for his Solo series might not be the best.
My issue mostly stems from the same problem I have with the break up of Peter and MJ. Steph and Tim have been connected so long that it's very hard to see him dating others. This holds true for when the two of them broke up before and he ended up engaged to another woman. While I'm okay with them splitting, same with Dick and Babs, I personally am not liking the way it's being handled due to how OOC Steph is. She's kind of jealous, and has shown that in the past with the situation where Tim was with another girl. So why she's excited and shit is beyond me.
I need to see more of what she's going to do to figure out where this is going. Tim has such a long history and connection to so many characters that it feels like DC made a huge goof when they didn't transition the YJ gen into more solid roles before bringing in Damian and co. Don't get me wrong I love my young teams, it's just that it feels like a lot of the issue with Tim's story needs to be expanded.
I'm happy so far with him in Batman and Detective, and the focus there on building back his past to define him more against Jason and Dick. Looks like they're giving Damian Magic to make him different as well, so I'm all for that. I just want Tim to be treated as fairly as Dick is and how Jason is being given a fair shake now.
Part of the issue too is that there were also WAY better male characters to hook Tim up with, and ones that made WAY more sense.
Danny Temple, for example, aka Kid Kobra, was his room mate and Tim went to hell and back to rescue him. There was more chemistry between them than him and Bernard, and Danny had a way more interesting back story that could have played more into Tim learning about himself.
There was also Harper's younger brother, who said he had a crush on Tim. I mean, right there. You can bring in Blue Jay more and Cullen could play a larger role than he is right now. Which is just dating a member of the Royal Flush Gang apparently? Maybe? I'm not sure what they're doing with him.
I would say even Duke, but I don't know if DC would let that happen. So then you look outside of the Batfamily and you have one hell of a list if the Editors will allow the use of them.
Airwave -Aka Hal Jordan Jr. Hal 'Green Lantern' Jordan's nephew who basically admitted to liking guys to his uncle. And Hal told him to go get help learning to be a hero from, of all people, Batman.
Hartley Rathway -Aka the Pied Piper. I'm not sure how old he is in earth Prime, but assuming early 20s, it could be a fun look at how Tim could deal with someone like that, if they let the cross over happen.
Francisco Gracia -Son of Stefano Gracia. He's a classmate of Steph and has ties to Roulette.
Hero Cruz -one of the Dial H for hero characters. He knows Conner and the titans.
Joel Weinberg -aka Huston, a young hero who was trying to keep his family together after his parents died.
Kid Apollo -Hey look it's from Gen 13 and could be a fun ride if someone wanted to take it.
Miguel Montez -current owner of the dial H for Hero device. Also friends with the Titans.
Miguel Barragan -aka Bunker. Of all the characters to not use for this, why not use Bunker! He and Tim already have a friendship, he's not doing anything recently outside of the Teen Titans thing, and if anyone can help Tim navigate all of this it would be Miguel because he's been through a lot.
Raymond Terrill  -aka The Ray. Ray worked with Tim when he was in YJ so I would say old friends could rekindle something.
Rich Foley -You want to bring the Dakotaverse more into DC, you have Tim date Virgil's best friend.
Terrence Berg -Bring back Terry from Green Lantern. He's the same age as Tim, and is blonde too. He's already an established character and again would connect the bats and the Lanterns.
There are so many characters out there. I mean, you really want to throw people for a loop, have him date Jon.
Like I said I feel mixed. I'm happy that Tim's moving forward with stories and that his character is being explored more. But I just wish that some of it would be with a writer that I feel more confident about, and with a partner that was more in line with what we know about Tim as a character.
Again no hate for Bernard, I just don't find him interesting.

and if you want to do the ask game: 17?
the ask game
each of the Batchildren's favorite sibling... I've done this before, but I do go back and forth on the answers, so this is what I think at this moment before I change my mind again. (this is long tho because I count as many batkids as possible.)
Cass's favorite is Steph, and Steph's favorite is Cass. there's something about being the only girls surrounded by boys - they love Babs, but she's older, and has different pressures in the public eye, so they're not quite in the same place - that really makes them turn to each other and be like. you. you get it. and their bond is a lot older than the other girls, so it's there even once there are more of them in the Manor. also they both love boba.
Damian's favorite is Cass, but he won't admit it. the bond he has with Dick is more father-son, so it doesn't feel like a sibling bond in the same way, so for a while he feels like he's doing all the sibling bonding stuff wrong. but he's jealous of Cass overcoming her training and knowing exactly what she wants out of fighting, and it slowly morphs into respect. he just thinks she's very cool.
Jason's favorite is Dick. it's awkward for him, because he really wants to reintegrate into the family and be more than just a peripheral hanger-on like he feels sometimes, but none of them feel like real siblings to him except for Dick, and sometimes Luke. there's a basis there for Dick, back when he was a kid, and he can't really figure out how to make the shift from 'technically siblings' to 'actually siblings' in his mind.
Lance's favorite is also Dick, by default, and not necessarily because he actually likes the guy, but he does appreciate how hard Dick is trying, even if he's never willing to admit it. he doesn't really know how to deal with having a brother, but he would've learned how, if he'd had the time.
Tim's favorite is Dick, too. that's his childhood hero and his original mentor, and possibly the coolest superhero to ever exist. and not only did Dick try so hard with him in order to make sure he felt loved in a way Jason didn't, but they were for a long time the only ones there, and so had a lot of time to bond one to one. Tim loves Cass, too, but he managed to bond with her as a peer in a way he never did with Dick (he still can't get over his hero-worship entirely), so it's less intimidating. and it's weird to him to think of Steph as a sibling so he tries not to put too much thought into it.
Babs's favorite sibling is Dick, because they were childhood best friends and made a pact to always be there for each other, so she feels it's important to her many friendship bracelets from him to honor that. she also tries not to play favorites with the younger siblings because it's not so good for training them, so it's easier for her to have a quick answer to the question.
Bette's favorite is Babs because she's absolutely a worthy successor, and Bette doesn't want to have to worry about who's in charge of the mantle. she also trusts Babs to hand it off when the time is right to someone else who can take it on.
Harper and Cullen's favorites are each other, even though it feels a little mean they think their relationship is realer than all the other siblings, but they do.
Claire's favorite sibling is Helena because she's simply so badass. even with superpowers, Claire just really wishes she could rise to that level, and occasionally gets Helena to train her, when possible. she's not as impressed by Cass because Cass is a lot closer to her in age, and she just never managed to be wowed by anyone else in the family right off the Bat.
Duke's favorite sibling is also Helena, because he feels a little bit the outcast with everyone at the Manor looking so similar, and so he latches onto Helena just to have another black face to look at. he trusts Luke's advice, but he doesn't think of the man as a sibling in the same way, since at least Helena really is Bruce's daughter instead of just his mentee. he doesn't get along with Damian at all because they're too similar in age, so his second favorite is Cass.
Helena's favorite sibling is Babs, for also being a peripheral member of the family, never living in the Manor, etc. because, yeah, Bruce is her dad in a very technical sense, but he's also sort of like Babs's dad, and that doesn't seem to phase her any, even though she already has a dad that she loves. due to this favoritism, Helena often gets Selena to mom Babs as well.
Turner's favorite is Tim, for managing to be so competent all the time, and confident even when he's not. he's massively impressed by the whole figuring it out thing when he. didn't. kind of jealous? but also his mind is just blown on the sheer scale of puzzle pieces it takes to do that. wishes he had a skateboard.
Luke's favorite is Tiff, because she's the baby. he always felt too responsible for what his other siblings were doing growing up, and struggled to help them with it when he was only a kid himself, but by the time Tiff comes along he's sort of got things figured out, and he can do a lot more to help her. she reminds him so much of himself at that age, with such a determined sense of justice, and the belief she can change the world. also she's so tiny???
Tam's favorite is also Tiff, because there's a unique sort of joy in being able to impart all of the things she's learned and warn Tiff away from all of her mistakes, because Luke doesn't have to deal with all the things she and Tiff do, and also he's sidestepped a lot of the issues both Tam and Jace have dealt with. Tiff looks up to her for life advice, fashion advice, school advice - all sorts of things that Luke never learned breezing through life. she takes great pains to teach Tiff how to do her hair in convenient ways, and have a great time giving each other makeovers. also. she's tiny
Jace's favorite is also Tiff. it's not just because she's the only one he's not fighting with. it's also the fact that she sees his vision and doesn't question him on it - well, he's worried about her, of course, but they have the same end goal, the same beliefs about the things that need to change, and the ability to work together to get it done. and that impresses him to see in her. also she's tiny
Tiff's favorite is Luke because he's always seemed so perfect to her, and she's put him on a little bit of a pedestal. he's her big brother and he's always so careful to be sweet to her and not yell at her, even when she's accidentally broken his things, even if he does baby her a little. and he just seems so cool all the time.
Terry's favorite is Mattie because that's his baby brother he would do anything for, and Mattie's favorite is Terry because that's his brother who always took care of him, and this would be true even if they had much closer relationships with the rest of their siblings.
Carrie's favorite is also Terry, because the rest of them feel like they're sort of distant so it makes sense they shine so brightly, but Terry's her age and he's managing to kick serious ass. she tells Mattie he's her favorite tho because it makes him feel special.
Maps's favorite is Steph, because she once talked some youtuber into eating an actual sock, or at least part of one, which is a life goal. anyway it's better than eggplant
Bao's favorite is Jason, because of all the murder. there's someone who really gets it, he thinks, and sometimes feels conflicted about all of that. but that's someone whose goals and ideals really seem to align with his.
Diego's favorite is Dick, for, um, obvious reasons. also he'll have you know they're not actually siblings, they're colleagues, and also obviously he's not going to make a move until he turns eighteen because that would just be rude. but yeah he has super huge respect for, uh, the first Robin and all that.
Merissa's favorite is Helena, because she loves to see a woman of color being in the spotlight and kicking ass. and also her mom is Catwoman and, possibly unethical life choices aside, because they were cool irresponsible decisions, well, Merissa loves cats.
Lucas's favorite is Luke because he seems like the only one in the entire constellation who's making sensible decisions. not always, obviously, but way more often than the other people. he even saw Batwing eat a vegetable on purpose once.
Dick's favorite isn't as obvious, and he'll often say Damian just because Damian is the baby and needs to hear it, or Tim if Dami's not there to complain, but his favorite sibling is his older brother. he's lionized the man to the point of unrecognizability, and he knows that, which is why he never talks about it, because he was just a person and people aren't perfect. he loved Dick, tho, and Dick loved him, and misses him every single day.

The Misadventures of One Tim Drake and His Trusty Hard Lemonade (Feat. Feelings)
by Elmers_glue
In a world where Bruce isn't completely fucking paranoid, he holds a Thanksgiving party of sorts for the Justice League. Tim invites Bernard. But while Bernard is assumed missing (he's getting his life threatened by Duke, Damian, Steph, Cass and Alfred), he creates a drinking game for himself. Oh, and watches Jason desperately try and work up the courage to tell a very drunk Bruce that he's dating Kyle Rayner. All while Dick passes out drunk on Superman himself!
