Steph and Duke being the only batkids w alive mothers who have no relationship to Bruce or any of their pseudo adoptive family is sorta funny bc while Steph canonically doesnt let her mother in this side of her life (even in timelines where Crystal does find out that Steph is Spoiler/Robin/Batgirl), but for Duke I can see him trying to make his double life easier for everyone and actually taking Elaine and the family to meet each other. The first time he brings her to have dinner at the manor everyone is being way more worried about being kind and proper than they are when one of Bruce’s billionaire friends is coming over.
All the kids are making plans and trying to figure out how to deal w a civilian parent who actually supports their vigilante child while Bruce is sitted on the couch, shaking and wanting to make the best impression ever to this woman, bc what are you even supposed to say to someone who’s child you raised while she was basically catatonic? And when she does arrive all of their efforst mean nothing bc she doesnt even pay any mind the others, bc shes way too busy thinking; What the actual fuck. This room could fit three of my house inside

the bats being asked how they would feel if they became their moms:
Bruce: sobbing
Dick: I'd be okay with that, she was truly a great mom... before she and my father were tragically murdered....
Tim: yea, I think I'm good. I loved her and all but I'd prefer not
Duke: maybe, you know, before she was jokerized and trying to kill me
Steph: fuck no
Damian: ....
Cass, after being reminded that her mother exists, silently stands and leaves to go and fight Lady Shiva again
Jason: look me in the eyes and ask that question again

duke doesn't realize he's a meta for a while cause his mom can see in the dark and sure his dad needs light to see but he also needs reading glasses so clearly that's just an old man symptom

A mysterious, villainous father?
A metahuman mother with a secret past?
Former friends turned enemies?
Three excellent reasons DC should give Duke a new ongoing series.

honestly don’t have a set opinion on this but i wanna know what y’all think
reasons why each should be able to:
harley - the joker manipulated her into an abusive relationship and literally made her a villain
babs - was shot and paralyzed by the joker
jason - was beaten and killed/blown up by the joker
duke - his mom and step-dad were permanently mentally damaged from the joker releasing joker venom (mind-control gas) onto them
*edit: i did not know about bao pham until rn but he definitely also deserves to

We aren’t swapping Duke and Steph enough tbh
Like in an AU where Elaine Thomas never managed to get away from Gnomon (Duke’s bio dad), Duke has zero intentions of actually helping his dad so Evil Immortal Things and every intention of fucking him over. So he becomes Signal to use what he knows form his dad’s weird and borderline abusive attempts to bond with him to like, get him caught by the Justice League, all while Elaine tries to stop herself from having a heart attack daily.
Meanwhile Crystal Brown is Jokerized or killed or whatever by a villain attack, and so Stephanie Brown, newly thrown into Gotham’s foster system, decides to join We Are Robin, partially because she’s angry as shit at the injustices that let her dad keep escaping and killed her mom, partially because she loves Batman and Robin, and partially because she likes fucking over police. And then decides she wants to throw bricks more, hence, Spoiler.

I'm posting about the Thomas Family now because I can't deny the voices anymore!
Elaine has hyperlexia as one of her more dominant tism traits
You will not be able to find this woman without a book or writing in hand
Doug found it endearing at first but then he caught Elaine up at 5 am devouring a book under a bright night light when he came back home & decided it was probs not a great idea
Duke gets his reading addiction from her absolutely & his parents where trying to set up a proper bedtime but he'd always smuggle a book or puzzle book into his room at night
Doug has a big sister I'm calling Tracy short for Patricia who has a son Jay[Jay is canon although his familial relation to Duke is like just cousin with not much else said] short for Jayden
Doug is a couple years younger than his sister like im thinking 9 or so
Tracy had moved with her husband Alvin Peters & Jay to Bludhaven when Jay was little tho they would visit the rest of the family in Gotham as often as they could
Doug & Tracy's parents are Patrick & Lucinda Thomas & they are wonderful people
When Elaine runs to Gotham she gets a job as an archival assistant at a college library in Gotham, Doug is working on getting a degree in engineering & is immediately smitten with the pretty assistant who helped him get a textbook that was hidden deep in the library
In my head Elaine has Duke before she & Doug even start dating, & Duke is a a toddler when they do get married
But he's too baby to have realized that his parents hadn't been married before
That's all I got for this post but I'm definetly gonna do more, tagging this post spree #void&goldAU

Robin & Signal Parallel
Dick naming himself Robin because that's what his mom called him.
Duke naming himself Signal because as a social worker his mom considered herself the first knight on the battlefield, which is called a signal.

Did I miss something? The little bio section at the end of the DC Power anthology for this year listed both of Duke's parents as deceased. When did that happen? I remember Elaine was in the hospital finally recovering from the Joker venom in that one Urban Legends story and Doug was still missing I thought.
Like suddenly it makes more sense why Duke was so lost and angry in his short, but when did they die?
#dc#duke thomas#dc power 2024#doug thomas#elaine thomas#also same blurp says the reason duke works daylight hours is because sunlight strengthens his meta abilities#which i definitly don't remeber that being the reason given in batman and the signal#but over that feels way less important then elain and doug suddenly being dead

as a Normal Human Man™ surrounded on all sides by metahumans, Doug Thomas knows the dangers that metas can pose
metahumans will do dastardly things like "make puppy eyes until you bring them ice cream" "make you watch the 1936 horror film Dracula's Daughter and point out the themes for the 3rd time this week" and "squeeze the life out of you with hugs"
