TOAxDC anyone?
I've been a part of the MariBat fandom for years now, and more recently become a part of the BatPham fandom since it grew into a full fandom of it's own.
In all that time I have been sitting on an idea for another crossover with DC that I think has just as much potential to become something entirely its own.
So, allow me to present the idea of Tales of Arcadia x Batman, which I've been affectionate calling the BATHUNTER crossover in my head.
More ramblings and fic recs under the cut.
So, first and foremost:
We have a bat bait, blue eyed, black haired, protagonist with trauma. Comparing this to the other two fandoms we've already hit the ground running.
We also have a reason for them to be in Gotham. At the end of Trollhunters we have Claire and Jim going with the trolls to find a new heartstone in New Jersey. Gotham is in New Jersey.
The trolls traveling across the country and founding New Trollmarket right in the Bat's territory doesn't even require an explanation beyond 'They found the new heartstone under Gotham City.'
The opportunities for identity shenanigans are still just as present as ever. If you stick to the full canon of the Tales of Arcadia universe, sans the time travel reset, then Jim, Claire and possibly Toby are both human and the bats could meet them as human civilians and as vigilantes who go around with glowing face covering armor and the ability to just disappear.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of canon past the first half of wizards. So I like the idea of Jim using a glamour mask to go to school while being a vigilante in his half troll form. Make the bat's even more confused.
I also feel like the dichotomy between the three rules of trollhunting and Batman's usage of fear as a weapon and no killing rule would be fascinating.
Just:
"Fear heightens your senses. Fear keeps you alive. Arrogance gets you killed."
-vs-
“You prefer to call me Batman. But the reason you can never escape me … is that my name is fear. And I live within you.”
“Always finish the fight.”
-vs-
"Heroes should never kill a villain, no matter the depths of his villainy."
They would probably agree on rule three, though: “When in doubt, always kick them in the gronk-nuts.” Since Batman identifying weakness in both his teammates and villains is a whole thing.
Lastly, the potential for bio-dad aus is fascinating to me. Specifically, not with Bruce as the bio-dad, but with Commissioner Jim Gordon.
For anyone who hasn't happened on Jim Gordon's backstory, allow me to give some context. Jim Gordon's wife was named Barbara Eileen Gordon. They had two children, Barbra Gordon and Jim Gordon Jr. Barbara Eileen divorced Commissioner Gordon because she wanted to get her son out of Gotham.
From what I understand, in canon she keeps the name and eventually moves back to Gotham after her son becomes a serial killer and inmate of Arkham Asylum.
But this is an AU, canon is what ever we want it to be and Jim Lake being the biological kid of Commishionre Gordon and little brother of Barbra Gordon aka Oracle has some real potential in the right author's hands.
Fic Recs:
Loose Lips, by NerdofSpades
Batman wants answers. Jim wants to be left alone, so he can go back to his not so normal life. Too bad those two things aren't at all compatible with each other. At least Jim gets some new friends out of all of this. Probably. Maybe.
One of my favorite fics in general. Jim becomes friends with the Young Justice team while trying to convince Batman that he's 'just a civilian'.
three teenagers are loose in gotham (what will they do), by clayr_of_the_lillies
sometimes you become a vigilante deliberately. sometimes its twitter's fault.
aka a tales of arcadia/batman crossover that wouldn't leave my mind.
Very funny and well thought out. I particularly like this interpretation of Gotham's trollmarket and the friendship between the trollhunters and the batfam.
In Their Blood, NerdofSpades
Barbara Lake saw an uncomfortably familiar pattern in the behavior of James Lake Junior. She saw it in almost everything he did these days. She had seen it in her friends growing up. She had lived it herself. She just wasn't sure how to help him, so, instead, she calls in a friend.
Another fun one by NerdofSpades. Barbara, having been Batgirl, recognizes Jim's behavior in herself. It's a shorter one but still a lot of fun
I'm also working on a couple of my own fics set in this crossover, but their still WIP for now

Fave Bathunt stories?/fanfics?
Uhhh..... Like from the comics? I have fanfics that my friend and I wrote, but I don’t have links to them. I also don’t read other people’s fanfiction of Helena because a lot of times people get her horribly wrong and they end up just writing about a female Jason. Anyway, from the comics, I like whenever Batman and Huntress work together. Like in Batman vs Predator II. That was good. Also, NML is a lot of BatHunt angst. Gotham Knights #40 is good.
#there's not a really long continuous story of them#but you gotta take the little moments and go#yooooooooo#bathunt#the-forgotten-flash#ask

BatHunt Week Day 1: ❤Valentine’s Day❤
Helena would make breakfast for Bruce and everything is heart shaped: the bread, the eggs, even the bacon is arranged in the shape of a heart. And yes, she brings him his coffee in a heart shaped mug. They eat breakfast in bed, sharing and stealing food off each other’s plates. Usually ending up with them making out and Helena having to rush to work.
By the time Helena gets to work, her classroom is filled with all sorts of colorful flowers that Bruce had sent her. Like everywhere. I mean, her classroom on Valentine’s Day would put Ivy’s garden to shame. By lunch time, he sends her even more flowers. He picks her up in the afternoon, bringing her another bouquet of red roses.
She bakes Valentine’s Day cookies and cupcakes when she gets home and he helps her decorate them. Of course, they have too much fun smearing icing all over each other’s faces
It’s tradition for them to go out as Batman and Huntress for at least an hour and hang out on some tall rooftop while they look on to the cityscape and just get to be together on a quiet night. He has his arm around her shoulders, she rests her head on him as they talk and just sit there and spend time together.
They end their night having dinner, that Helena cooks, at the manor before heading to bed, but almost never making it to the bedroom.

Is there any version of Batman where Bathunt happens?
No, but in Batman the Brave and the Bold, Helena is crushing hardcore on Bruce. Also you can kinda find little moments in various comics of the two where they are really close. One of my favorites, in Robin #33, Helena and Dick and Tim are fighting Talia on this boat and Talia asks Helena if she's Bruce's woman.

Batman/Huntress Moment of the Day
That time in Gotham Knights #40 where Helena just casually starts undressing and changing into her costume in front of Bruce and he's being really awkward about it and Helena keeps trying to get him to look at her suit that she doesn't have on yet.

If you want to start shipping Bruce/Helena, read Batman vs Predator II. They're acting like teenagers who are crushing hard on each other but don't want to admit it (especially Bruce) and then pretty much everyone says Helena is his woman and then they always end up working together and Helena says she's going to go help him even if she dies.
EDIT: Not to mention that Bruce is super worried about anything happening to Helena throughout the entire series.
