thoughts on batcat ship?

they both suck at talking about their feelings so you put them in the same room and it's like the combined emotional availability of a boiled egg. and then they kiss. iconic. endgame to Me

also these panels live rent-free in my mind 24/7, i regularly amuse myself by imagining this as battinson & zoe kravitz selina kyle

darwyn cooke style attempt

If DC wants to keep pushing out different types of Gotham War comics for every year, they may as well make a Gotham Batman Ships war next year. They get to make light fun of their fans. Batman is spread all over somewhat romantically like hummus. They get to bring in different heroes and Gotham villains to fight reluctantly (they don’t want the Batman they just want the honor). The batkids get to sit cute on the sidelines and laugh at their dad’s misery. It’s fun

Since Bruce isn’t rich in the Sons of Anarchy AU, Selina is his on again off again sugar mama. She buys him suits and steals video game consoles for his kids whenever she’s in town. Cuz why would she stay in Gotham, all it has is crime and murder, nothing cool like fancy jewelry and paintings in Europe.

The thing with me is that a good ship name does get you extra points. Brutalia fucks because that name is just fire.

Batcat needs a rebrand. Petition to rename it Cbat.

Here are a few of my favorite batcat moments, because I’m very sad about Gotham War

Before the wedding:

AFTER she left him at the alter and BEFORE Gotham War:

for ship art requests ummm batcat pls 👀👀👀

I hope it's alright, but I tried my hand at your versions - um, I kind of only realized afterwards that Bruce might not shave very often as part of a routine if he's supposed to have facial hair, and the shaving cream kind of covers his scar, but I had the idea of hurrying to get ready so it made more sense at the time

"here's panels of Talia being unlikable and abusive" and its pages from THE Talia comic ever

YALL CANT UNDERSTAND COMPLEX FEMALE CHARACTERS EVEN IF THEY LITERALLY W R I T E THE FACT THAT SHE DID NOT WANT TO KILL HIOM AT ALL RIGHT THERE 😭😭😭 embarrassing

Batman and Catwoman are truly the gender-swapped version of the “good girl tries to the fix the bad boy” trope.

Catwoman steals, lies, manipulates, back-stabs and gives little reason to be considered trustworthy but every time Bruce is just like “I can fix her.”

batman and catwoman have a primal kink thing going on so when she commits a crime and he chases her it's fine, it goes against his supposed motivation (stopping things like what happened to his parents) but I forgive him, it's CLEARLY a sex thing. but when any other superhero of that calibre troubles themselves with her it's just like. seriously?? a JEWEL thief?? aren't earthquakes happening right now, somewhere, at this very second, superman? is this really the best target for your brainwashing powers, zatanna? how about we leave that shit to actual law enforcement and focus on supervillains beyond their scope, natural disaster relief, minimising systemic issues, and preventable violence?

The most beautiful Kaya Scodelario looked in "The Gentlemen". And the overall scene is something that can actually be so personal. Him seeking her out. Like ending episode 6 thinking mom and dad (mum and dad) are going to war with each other...and then this...and then still the last two episodes being a roller coaster of whether or not they are going to be the literal death of one another. I have never had so much Good Stress from a ship that was Bad Stress when I was actually going through it. I aged and greyed so much through parts of this show, my poor heart.

To me, they have this low-key Bruce Wayne x Selina Kyle dynamic (sooooo, Bobby Glass would be Carmine Falcone? I can work with that), which, given how BatCat is one of my lifelong OTPs, I am sure subconsciously pulled me in. Like posh boy that can get down and dirty (so his ski mask era would be his Batman era 😅😂 "We're not criminals, Freddy"), however much he sees himself holding a higher moral ground over the underworld he must move through. And working-class girl, street smarts, that can no less look "elegant and stylish" and navigate the upper echelons; but at the end of the day is who she is and matter-of-factly💋💋💋💋a career criminal. (Kaya honestly even works as a face claim for Selina though her eyes may be closer to blue than green. I mean, the Gunnverse has to cast a Catwoman eventually, depending on the age range of their Batman... I will just leave this here for you for free, James.)

And then Princess Roseanne, the Countess of Tournai, would be Talia Al-Ghul especially when Susie lets slip some jealous vibes towards her (made me think of Anne Hathaway's snark about Marion Cotillard in the last Nolanverse film...the characters, not the actresses). Though ultimately I do see Eddie and Princess Roseanne as Just Friends and no conflict in that direction unless further miscommunication. (So much Misunderstanding Drama in this series and between OTP. When a good romantic comedy is not a romantic comedy; or even entirely a comedy.)

But really it comes down to their having such an *easy partnership*, naturally yielding to one another when it comes to it. The way Susie has her way about things -- most notably when she invites herself to meet Stanley Johnston -- and Eddie smoothly submits to her without in any way seeming whipped. Like their actions are always in agreement, even when their words are not. Those two are more married than most married folks I have seen on screen. Should have blacked out in Nevada than on the estate.

(Also, gotta love how she has him saved in her phone as "The Duke". Like forget Bridgerton...I would watch an entire season of TheoKaya going at each other in, Bridgerton ways. As it stands with this though, I could see how the greater artistic choice might be to just make this a stand-alone, but I would be greedy for any subsequent season. This is already technically an expansion on a film -- that I have yet to see -- so Guy Ritchie does not mind a revisit. I could use any more of these 2 families who fully drive the story of this world.)

I kinda slowed down on posting here and made another side blog to post about another fandom I recently got into, but my goodness I entered in the middle of a shipping battle. DC shippers I miss you. Superbats, Brutalias, and Batcat shippers who are never rude to us Batlantern shippers I miss you! Jayroy, Jartemis, and Jayrose shippers who don’t mind jaykyle shippers I miss you too!

I rewatched The Batman tonight

I can't stop thinking about a fic idea;

Kory, Roy, Bernard and Jon being in the Wayne mansion and (affectionately) trash talking dating a Bat

Bonus: Jon is not even dating Damian (yet - they are in this akward will they will they not period) and Kory & Roy are also exes

Like, i dunno it sounds so funny in my head??

And like Selina joining them at some point and they create a group chat called something like "Bats SO" just to vent about their respective Bat

And it low key drives the Bats insane???

And like other people get wind of it so another group chat is created like "People victimized by the Bats" where they add like Clark, Wally, Kon and it just gets more insane

like i said, it sounds crazy funny in my head but im not funny enough to write this kind of crack

(i also mention those for SO just because those are my main bat ships but if anyone wants to write this, feel free to add more SO + bff)

(could anyone refer any of those kind of fics if it exists? im flexible with ships tho I'd love to see Kory in it)

you ever think about how when it comes to bruce and his friends/family/love interests the same reason they fall in love is also the same reason they give him up?
