Danny, at 17, did not have the best love life. This is partially because two of his must haves in a partner are " Will protect me with their life" and "Will commit unspeakable acts of violence for me" or at least beat someone up for his honor.

Naturally, this doesn't always result in the most stable of partners.

His first girlfriend, Valerie, became an anti-hero and broke up with him for his safety.

He finally got with Sam in sophomore year only for the feds to come into class one day to arrest her. To his surprise, her crimes had nothing to do with ghosts but rather an incident where she went too far and committed a few acts of economic terrorism. Danny and Tucker never really learned the specifics of the crimes, and her parents hushed up as many news outlets as they could, so there wasn't much info to go around. All they knew was that she saved thousands of lives by doing it.

In the end, she was sentenced to eight years, and she broke up with him so that he wouldn't wait around for her to get out.

His third partner was a guy named David who was really sweet. Unfortunately, Danny got kidnapped one day by David's arch nemesis, who was some villain with a corny edge lord name. Yeah. David had become a a super hero after they started dating.

And if you guessed that he freaked out and dumped Danny for his own protection, you'd deserve a cookie.

Danny was noticing a pattern here. One that continued with everyone he dated. They always became some kind of hero before dumping him for his own protection, and it was infuriating. Sure, danny could defend himself, but he was never deep enough into the relationship to reveal his phantom half, and frankly, his hero career was something he left behind when he left Amity and destroyed the portals.

He met Tim at a skatepark after Tim fell off his board cause of some jerk speeding out in front of him on his own board, forcing Tim to stop or else hit the guy. The guy was unrepentant and Tim calmed him down (this did not stop him from melting the guys wheels with an ectoblast when no one was looking).

Tim then asked him to coffee. Danny, noticing how cute Tim was, agreed.

Danny was up front with his parents being mad scientists in Illinois. He always was with all the people he dated. It was better not to hide these kinds of things or worse, wait until you're already attached and afraid of losing them. So he always told potential partners as early as possible. Tim seemed a bit put off by this but was calmer about it than most, and they continued chatting.

Tim didn't seem like the type to turn to heroism or anti heroism so he felt safe on their later dates. It was only after he had known Tim for a while that he put the pieces together.

Tim was always covered in bruises that he hid with his clothes and make up, he had complained about batman over the phone when he thought danny couldn't hear, he was rich, he knew how to fight as revealed by his stances and footwork dispite trying to pretend he didn't, and lastly he held a lot of political power and influence being Bruce Wayne's son. Power he had no reservations using when it suited him or he was just feeling petty (that pettiness was part of why danny was falling for him harder than he thought he could)

No wonder Tim was so okay with his parents being rouges.

Tim was a villain!

At least Tim wouldn't leave him like all his exes. Danny doesn't think he could handle it if he did. Another good thing about this is now he can talk more freely about the more villainous and morally gray ideas and inventions when he was alone with Tim.

Tim didn't see anything wrong with Danny's idea to use something similar to cloning pods to make synthetic meats like rump roasts and steaks as a way to end world hunger and was eager to add to the conversation.

The Fenton Parents as Bigots but Good parents.

Danny is the Thief = "Silver Cat"

Maddie and Jack learned that Danny is half-ghost but are very unwilling to believe ghosts can be good, but they are still loving parents for Danny. So both go like, "Welp, we were once supervillains after all, so it's now Danny's turn!” Maddie: "Ah, Danny, you are a half-ghost; you are now evil."

Danny:" Mom, I am not evil because of being a ghost."

Jack:" You don't need to try and hide it. We love you, even if you want to be a villain or something similar. But at least only be a thief."

Danny:" Dad! Mom!"

Maddie:" You could meet heroes and villains that way."

Danny:" Are you saying I should go around and have fun as Villian?"

Jack and Maddie:" Yeah, we shouldn't try to change your nature. Try to release the evil in you as long as it's not Amity Park; we kind of like this place."

Danny had no idea what to say. And as he returned a few days later with stolen goods, And his parents weren't angry but proud of what he did. He had no idea what to say. But why not? He isn't hunted by his parents, and they seem to enjoy hunting themselves.

This started the Villain the "Silver Cat" as he shapeshifted a bit that learned in Ghost Zone, so it's less likely that people knew it's him, and that Black Bat Hero is pretty cute. Maybe he will meet her again.

And being a thief isn't really being a villain, right?

+ Cassandra smiled as she looked her Laptop. Maybe she would meet that cat boy thief again in this museum, should a hero hope a criminal steals the Jewerly or Gold? This must be how Bruce is with Selina Kyle.

Imagine being the writer for UtRH and putting together a whole fight segment together where Batman and Red Hood work together to take down a team of bad guys, and Jason falls into step perfectly from him and Bruce's old training- giving a taste of nostalgia of what was and could have been. Batman leaves Jason an opening that can be used against him, a moment of pure faith that they're on the same side and Jason uses the chance on their common enemy and its like just *THE* moment in the middle of this arch.

And SOMEHOW you are still thinking that the emotional impact of that would be negated just because you end it with Jason killing a nazi??? Like killing a nazi is supposed to have made him unrelatable and evil to the audience???

I just think most people who read comics like the idea of bad guys getting some comeuppance, that's the fantasy that is being sold. How did you not realize this would appeal to a huge portion of your market?

Source panels below:

#dc i have no idea how you thought this was what a hate-able villian looked like #like i can't track down that interview now where they talked about how they thought no one would be able to relate to Jason #but that quote lives in my head rent free every time I re-read these comics #I say this is the moment in my post but TBH there were so many banger moments in this arch #judd winick #under the red hood #jason todd #red hood #utrh #bruce wayne #batman #dc comics #comic panels #long post #oc #original post

I have truly never seen so much discourse for a hero/anti-hero that kills until I started liking jason todd. I have literally never seen so many people get hate for not condemning a fictional character who kills bad guys until now its shocking! and I mean that literally

maybe I’m the one missing something but there are plenty of heroes (not antiheroes but HEROES) who exist that choose a lethal method and people take that in stride? the only way I can make sense of this is that people are so attached to batman and his mythos; they literally imprint on him and his thinking ?? and now any slight against him or challenge against his righteousness is taken as if its a slight against them.

at the end of the day, to me, you can still support jason being lethal because the fictional characters hes killing aren’t actually dead. in this sense, specifically, I don’t see why real life morals should be applied to a comic world. he’s not killing out of bigotry and if he was, I would get the controversy! but if you can agree with brutally beating and invasions of privacy in the dcu because it’s “morally correct” within the universe, I can’t see an argument against jason’s methods being morally wrong as valid unless those views are applied to every aspect of batman comics. if we did that, then everyone who continued reading these comics would be getting the same treatment jason todd fans do. you cannot hold one character accountable to real life moral views and not the other(s)!

#jason todd #dcu #jason todd meta #batman #dc meta #am I making any sense bc tbh I am writing this while permed and words sometimes don’t make sense to me then #let jason todd kill ! let him fuck up every villian that he meets ! no one thinks universe proclaimed villians dying are the same as killing #ppl in real life I promise u!#I just want to enjoy my anti hero crime lord vigilante in peace #you have arkham ASYLUM btw that is canonically a revolving door bc how else can we make money from the story if they stayed in ‘jail’#and villains canonically proven to kill for the laughs or the drama or the fun of it and feel no remorse #and ur coming at me and talking about the death penalty being wrong in relation to this universe ?#WHAT ABOUT THIS UNIVERSE REMOTELY SEEMS LIKE ITS CLOSE TO REALITY #I think this controversy would benefit from ppl who dislike jason seeing jason as the ‘lesser evil’ instead of just ‘evil’ bc then that #would be so much more interesting ! he’s still a bad guy and u can still dislike him but at least for good reasons

☆▪︎¤{Cry. A. River}¤▪︎☆ Yandere Bruce Wayne/Batman x Reader

You weren't one that would got out frequently. You stayed beside yourself, alone. Your family would watch you wither away until all your years of grief would hopefully fade away, but possibly with you.

The eldest of your family, asked you to make a appearance at a event for them. They were far to busy to do it, even the second eldest couldn't take spot for them. So you would.

"Pearl..." You say weakly, sitting in the blue cushioned seat. Your right hand, a young woman with cold, dull features stares at you.

"Yes, my lady..?" She asked softly.

"May I kindly ask, what is this event we are off too? I'm sorry to say I can't recall." You smiled tiredly at her, your head barely raising from staring at your lap.

"We are heading to the grand art exhibit of Gotham. A new painting has been crafted and will be finally shown to the public." She said, looking over the small tablet in her hand.

"I see.."

"My lady, do be careful.." Your right hand looks down at the floor of the car. Water starting to flood the bottom of the car as she felt her the soles of her shoes become damp.

"Oh excuse me," you say, dabbing away the tears with your handkerchief as the river of tears you made sloshes on the floor.

The car stops as Pearl opens the door. The water falling out of the car and onto the street as you step out onto the red carpet. The shutters of cameras and flurry of questions are ignored by you. Your head held highs as your eyes remain down.

One inside, you see Pearl stand behind you from the corner of your eye.

Slowly gliding through the room, guests stare at you quietly as they conversed with one another.

"Pearl, could bring me a glass of water." You asked her.

"Of course, my lady." She said quietly, sliding through groups of people with ease as you had.

You look to the front of the room, where the main attraction would be shown for all to see. But was covered in a blue blanket, hidden from the eyes of the guests. The only one who even knew what it looked like was the painter themself.

"Excuse me," a man said, "would you mind if I take this seat."

Snapping out of it, you blink at the man that had sat where you stood.

You assess him for a moment. Nicely styled hair, handsome, blue eyes and finely tailored suit. He looked awfully familiar, but so did everyone else at this soiree. High and mighty Gothamites alike as they and the man next to you, drank rich drinks with ice cubes cut perfectly.

"My lady, I have found you your drink." Pearl speaks up beside you, frightening the man next to you. Almost spilling his drink at Pearl's appearance. The man catches himself, setting down his glass gently as he sees you sip your drink while Pearl lingers beside you.

The multi-billionare watches as you solemnly stare at nothing. He honestly thought the bags under your eyes were makeup. Thinking you were starting a new trend for the fashionable elites at the party.

But he was perceptive, even acting as millionaire playboy.

"I see you aren't fond of liquor." The man relays, striding up beside your free side.

"You are right."

You say, clutching your glass tightly.

"Are you here for the realse of Mrs. Caspian newest painting?"

"I am."

"I hear that it's her gradest work yet," the man urges the conversation to keep flowing. Undeterred from your uninterested answers.

"Bruce, Bruce Wayne." The man introduced himself as you glance at him, Pearl doing the same. He holds out his hand as you reach to grab it. Seeing this, Mr. Wayne tries to grasp your hand.

Yet stops once the announcer and artist come up on stage. Gathering everyone's attention.

After a few words of praise and thankfulness. The painting was finally showed as people gasp in amazement.

Including yourself, you hold a hand to your heart as your (e/c) eyes widen.

".."

"My lady, your eyes." Pearl states, looking down at the overflowed cup.

Bruce, hearing your assistance soft voice, turns his attention to you. Suprised by the sight he was seeing.

Tears fell down your face like a faucet as you keep your eyes solely on the painting.

"Miss are you-"

The artists speaks up once more. "This portrait was inspired by a young woman I had the honor of meeting during my travels. I do hope, wherever she is now, she knows that she has inspired me!"

Sucking in deep breath, you whisper softly.

"I miss you."

Your tears flowing by the minute as it creates a puddle.

"Madame- please tell me. Are you alright?" Bruce begged, soon finding himself slumping on the floor as tears started to gather in his own eyes.

'What..?' He thought to himself as small sobs broke free from your lips as more silent tears fell from his eyes.

He watches as your assistant also had tears flowing down their face, Bruce looked around. Albeit hard with tears falling each second from his eyes.

Even guests were crying, even the painter.

When the playboy tries to turn back to you, you were gone.

He had to find you. He must.

[Part 2]

[I will hopefully write a part two or something in the future. If it's well liked enough and asks. Hearts and comments appreciated!]

okay i think enough time has passed that i can joke about it

Jason: Your methods are ineffective. If you don't permanently stop criminals they will just continue to hurt people. Bruce: *finds a permanent way to stop people from being violent and uses it on Jason, a dangerous criminal* Jason:

#does dc think the no kill rule is solely about killing and not tied to the ideal of rehibilitation?#like he could have wallowed away but he chose to protect people #because he believes his city can get better #he believes clayface and harvey and selena and harley can get better #he gave dick and jason direction as robin because he saw their talent and potential #he sees what gotham could be and he fights for it #why even bother keeping arkham around if you're just gonna steal away a person chance to get better #espically a person like jason #someone who grew up in a bad home and on the streets and as robin and withe the League #that man's been fighting his whole life because the only other option was to die #you're not just declawing a cat you're not just stealing a person's antonmy you're stealing the defenses of a person with C-PTSD #not to mention that he's using the tools of his most distrubing villians #ivy and pyg and scarecrow and joker alter your brain and chemistry to make you act in the ways they want #and how is that any different from what you've done? how can you be sanctimonious now?#“oh but its evil did” that's ablest nonsense and i don't give a shit #im not asking for wfa fluff i just want consistancy y'know?#leo says shit #jason todd #batman #gotham war #bones' bitching hours

A young villian who claims to be in love with one of the bats uses a magical cursed item/some kind of freaky tech to blast said bat and make them fall in love with them.

Things don't go as planned as Phantom is thrown into the mix by a ghost he had been trying to fight discretely in Gotham.

The bat falls in love with Phantom.

Problem is that the bat immediately goes full yandere/psyco and Phantom freaks out and flees. Danny can't run or hide forever but by the ancients, he's gonna try.

#dpxdc #prompts #fanfiction prompts #NOT ghost king #tw obsessive behavior #danny phantom #danny fenton #batman #batfam #the villian is beaten up but escapes jail later-swearing vengeance #wether or not dannys from a different dimension or not is up to you #but the bats will still find him >:)

Hey there :)) can I ask for a ship pls with a male or female character (or one of each) from the Gotham TV series, if you don't mind 😊

Rightio info, idk what really to say here that would be useful but don't worry I shall spare you the nitty gritty lol

Info:

female, early twenties, catholic, infj, introverted and quiet, I love music-all kinds from eminem to the temptations though I particularly love jazz and blues and nightwish, my fav albums that are kind of recent ish are disco by kylie minogue, hackney diamonds by the rolling stones and love for sale by lady gaga & tony bennet. My fav perfume is elizabeth arden blue grass and miss dior rose n roses. I love clothes and collect vintage clothing my ideal fashion aesthetic is the 1930s tho I'm not immune to a 50s circle skirt and pearls, 70s fashion is pretty cool too. I'm a librarian. Fav authors are agatha christie, donna tartt, tolkien, jules verne and h.g wells. My hobbies are pretty much just reading and listening to music. I'm irish and not to be stereotypical but swear a lot which I'm now finding embarrassing so I'm trying to stop as I find when every second sentence isn't filled with curses my mood is generally better. I like doing things alone like going to cafes, long evening walks in the dark and cold, going to the theatre. I really like November don't know why it's just my fav month.

~I've talked a mile there so I'll shush now, apologies that you have to read all that ♡

A/N: Please give feedback if anyone thinks this is ooc for Jerome. Also apologies if I didn’t fit everything you said about yourself down below.

I ship you with...

Jerome Valeska!

Y’all make a pretty good pair.

Even one another out.

Yin and Yang type stuff.

He has a showman complex and ego so expect to be put in the spotlight with him without warning.

He’ll do his best to reassure you in any situation he puts the two of you in.

If you discuss with him privately that you don’t like it, he’ll try persuasion and reassurance on you.

All he wants to do is help you overcome this “introvertness” and feel confident in the presence of others.

In the end though, he’ll drop it if you seriously don’t want to change.

Your happiness is pretty important to him, surprisingly enough.

He might not be perfect at it but I feel like he tries to dance with you to some jazz music.

Any music for that matter.

He might be a bit sloppy when it comes to dancing since he’s never danced with someone before but he tries.

Obsessed with your fashion aesthetic.

Like the old cartoon where his eyes bulge and his mouth drops to the floor.

In a positive way.

Depending on the day and his mood, he’ll go out with you to different stores to find vintage clothes or send a group of his followers to go steal some for you.

Again it all depends.

Reading isn’t his favorite thing in the world but with you it is.

He’ll lay his head on your lap and observe your face while you read aloud.

Inappropriate comments and laughs are made.

Finds it hot when you swear.

Especially when mad.

Unless it’s at him of course.

Not saying he would encourage you to swear but he wouldn’t discourage it either.

If you tell him you’re going for a walk while it’s pitch black outside, expect him to accompany you.

If you try and reassure him that you want to go alone, you’re either going to be followed by his most trusted followers or forced to stay home with him.

He’s made a lot of enemies and he doesn’t want you being a target if he can help it.

#batman rogues x reader #batman rogues #dcu #gotham x reader #batman villians x reader #gotham #batman villains #gotham imagine #I ship you with...#gotham jerome #jerome valeska x you #jerome x reader #jerome valeska x reader #jerome valeska

i havent read batman beyond so i am going to delude myself into thinking that when Tim is fixing that mecha in uhhh That pose, Bernard is sitting on a couch right behind bim enjoying the view. Like Bernie technically CAN get Tim to change into something that is not turn and make him clean up, but like why would he?

He loves to see his man in uniform

#thanks for the ask!#bernard dowd #tim drake #timbern #timber #batman beyond #i mean can you blame him? it's a nice view #and as someone who did briefly skim this specific issue in search of more dilf tim it's nothing to write home about you #you know big super villian fight - tim punching green lantern's jaw off - ya know superhero stuff #anyways you have the biggest brain anon #anon ask

"Why doesn't Batman fight crime during the day?"

Correct answer: He is shown crime fighting during the day many times in comics and shows! He also does a lot of the lab analysis during non-patrol hours! It is also important to maintain his public image.

Funniest answer (and therefore correct one): Batman has made a public announcement that he only works at night and to 'pretty please' not do crime during the day to respect his time and sleep. All of his villains agree because they are evil not MONSTERS.
