Thomas Wayne from Flashpoint (aka Gun Toting Batman) getting transported to Main timeline Gotham would be so disappointed. Remember, this man is a medical doctor as well as a businessman. His family is made of a bunch of dropouts.

Bruce dropped out of college

Dick dropped out of college

Jason dropped dead

Tim dropped out of college

Cass still in school

Damian still in school

Duke still in school

He'll probably try to make sure the last three would finish school and get respectable day jobs.

I feel like a lot of times the batkids might joke that bruce babies damian bc he's his biological kid or others might thinns so but ist just bc they've forgotten their own childhood and how much bruce used to baby them

But then when martha and Thomas actually put a difference between damian and the other kids, they are very confused then shocked and then realize that bruce loves them all equally the way that no body else can love them

I love the idea of them thinking Bruce was like that and then his parents come back and go “you broke (etiquette rule/custom) for THEM?” and Bruce just goes postal. YES, mother, I let the non bio kids into the will and they have the right to be here just as much as I do!

When it comes down to it, Bruce is the head of this family. Even if his parents come back. And they quickly realize that, even if they don’t like it.

Do you think in a world where Owlman exists, it's because Tommy's scared of owls like how Bruce is scared of bats??? (I have no idea where I got this info I just remembered it somehow)

I think Thomas wayne had personal beef with owls for unexplainable, yet inherently hilarious motives

I think Bruce was a chip off the ol block

Imagine Thomas and Martha Wayne getting resurrected via whatever the bullcrap of the week is, and it NOT getting undone once the conflict is over. Bruce and the kids are experiencing All The Emotions but Thomas and Martha are just happy to be there and are wholeheartedly rolling with it.

"The Waynes are a superhero family now? That's amazing! Martha, isn't it amazing?"

"Yes, dear. So much better than the organized crime we used to do. Oh, don't worry Bruce, we really only did it out of obligation, we would have jumped to vigilantism long ago had we known it was an option."

"Martha, we have grandchildren! They're adorable!"

"Thomas you've already met most of them."

"Yes but now I can appreciate them! And spoil them!"

"Thomas, honey, if you actually act as an enabler for our grandbabies I think you'll end up giving our poor Bruce a heart attack."

"Damian has a sword Martha! A sword! We have swords in the family! This is wonderful!"

"I know, Thomas."

Thomas has to be physically restrained from learning how to be a vigilante. He's too old, and Bruce and the rest don't want him to die *again*. He can help Alfred. Doesn't stop him from badgering his grandchildren about their hobbies. Ostensibly it's because he wants to get to know them better, but they all know he just really wants to learn how to do the cool things they all do. He's banned from using the Batcomputer at least thrice.

Martha at first seems content to just sit in the house and play the role of old-fashioned housewife but one day she inexplicably appears in Jason's apartment, supposedly to return one of his guns after he dropped it. He could have sworn it was fully loaded when he lost it, and now it's empty. Martha's fingerprints are the only ones on the gun. He decides to not ask questions.

They both neglect to inform the high society of Gotham that they're alive, and it takes a while for them to realize this. Gradually every rich person in Gotham takes their turn having a breakdown over having to deal with even more Wayne bullcrap. How come the Waynes are the only ones that seem to be immune to death???

You know that thing where we’re like “Joker shouldn’t have a backstory” because it ruins the mystery and whatnot? That but with Alfred.

Screw all the comics telling us that he’s an ex-intelligence officer or that he’s just a regular guy that got promoted to being a butler. I want Alfred to basically be a cryptid. He just kinda showed up one day and the Waynes rolled with it. One time when Bruce’s parents were still alive he asked them how they met Alfred. And they were just like; “…That’s a good question.”

And whenever Alfred is asked he always comes up with the most absurd lies.

“Oh, yes Master Bruce, I met your parents after a blood ritual gone wrong and now I am forced to serve this family forever.”

“I was an assassin sent to kill your parents and pilfer their riches but alas I grew to attached to them and their adorable little rascal of a son.”

“I tripped and fell from the heavens because of how distraught I was at your Father’s complete and utter lack of self-preservation”

And the Batkids will sometimes try to get the truth out of him but give up pretty quickly. Except Tim. Tim seems to have figured it out. That’s gotta be why both of them have seemingly stayed the same age all this time.

death follows me everywhere i go so excited to finally be able to show this! my finished piece for @gothamcityunmasked who were so gracious enough to let me draw bruce! it's your last chance to get your hands on this beautiful book, so please check out their leftover sales here!

Power of rainbow 🌈

Jon: If your dad's parents died... how was he born?

Damian: Alfred.

okay so like

bruce’s parents died when he was eight, and from then on he was raised by alfred, correct? and alfred had been taking care of bruce since he was four

what i’m getting at here is: bruce would absolutely have a slight british accent that he unconsciously picked up from alfred

i mean like aside from classmates and teachers, alfred is who bruce spent the most time with

i just think we should acknowledge bruce would have a slight british accent is all. like it seriously doesn’t change anything but i want it to be talked about. please

of course bruce can do a bunch of different voices and accents, but this is when he’s just speaking normally (mostly among the batfam)

he also definitely uses the british word for things (lift instead of elevator, rubbish instead of trash, etc.)

no one would really question it because he’s rich and fancy, and it’s a sort of posh accent

but i want the batkids to joke about it (not when alfred is around tho)

So kiss me once, then kiss me twice

Then kiss me once again

The Pennywaynes angst no one asked for

i dont even go here

What if T&M sort of start trying to parent Damian instead.He canonically looks a lot like Bruce when he was his age. They obviously know he is not but he's still their Blood . Like low key projecting their baby bruce on him. Damian might not immediately catch on but Dick ? Tim? They would close ranks so fast. Extra extra angst if T&H really dont try to make effort with other kids and see them as getting in the way of Their Family. Trying to Take Their grandBABYs inheritance.Bruce would hate it so much because it doesn't matter if damian is his blood.He raised Dick since he was 8 .He was his first child ,the one who saved him from darkness. In his heart he's clearly his first born .the reason his family exists in the first place.

That would be an interesting way to explore the tensions between adopted/non adopted siblings. because yeah. I've known rich families that adopted kids who definitely didn't treat them the same as their "blood" kids and it's super rough to see. You're part of something, but you don't really count in some ways.

Meanwhile, everyone in the family knows that Dick truly is the golden firstborn son in so many different ways. The idea of putting Damian above him in importance simply because he's Bruce's biological kid seems ridiculous to everyone except maybe Thomas and Martha (in this AU, to be clear).

“Bruce wouldn’t call his kids any cutesy nicknames y’all are cringe” first of all Bruce canonically refers to children as “honey” and “sweetheart” as BATMAN, so, close your mouth, monster breath

Second of all, Thomas Wayne called him everything from “Bunny, honey, sweetheart, baby, bambino, sweetie” to “Gumdrop, honeybee, amore, babe, “ and you can die trying to take it away from me

Like fathers like son

I know it's not really canon bc Alfred is seemingly ageless, but I like the idea that he was like 30-ish when Bruce was orphaned. Like Martha Wayne was like 20 when she had Bruce and 28 when she died with Thomas being 23 at Bruce's birth and 31 at the time of the shooting, while the butler they hired was around their age too (Alfred x Martha x Thomas rights), but Bruce never realized bc Alfred goes gray early and is, again, ageless. So, he is like panicking at 21 having acquired a nine year old and he's like 34 when Damian comes in his life and by the time the batfam has settled he's nearly forty and he asks Alfred how the fuck he kept up with him before he calmed down a bit as a teen bc he had a purpose and then fucked off to go train and Alfred just goes "I was ten years younger than you're now, sir, I also don't know how you do it. Have you looked into the Batman retirement plans more?" and it's only then that Bruce learns Alfred also had not fucking clue what he was doing and was pretty young (though way more reasonable than Bruce with Dick's adoption) to have a whole ass child as a responsiblity. Just the idea that they're closer in age tickles me
