Whenever I read anything in comics or in fanfic about "we can't kill the Joker because that would be doing what he wants, we have to let the law take care of him" I just. giggle.
He's shown multiple times premeditation, which indicates he does, in fact, understand the consequences of his actions. By law, he is mentally fit enough to stand trial.
By law, he would more than likely be sentenced to death, many many times over, after being branded a terrorist. He wouldn't even be housed in New Jersey, he'd be sent to someplace like Guantanamo Bay, ultra secure max prison. His execution would be sped up due to flight risk. It would happen out of sight and out of mind, in a glass box so that weird chest bomb of Joker Gas doesn't affect anyone, and then incinerated.
This is comicbookland, so that doesn't happen, but like, if this was the direction Joker's court cases were supposed to go, and it was an assistance program run by Wayne Enterprises that kept stepping in and using legal fuckery to get Joker to Arkham instead of standing trial?
All it would take is just. One little sign off from Barbara. One little tweak.
Joker isn't eligible for that outreach program anymore.

Prompt 299
Hear me out- Ghosts have wings. They have wings, which are affected by their cores, and can make them disappear from sight if they want or need to. You got that? Good. 
Ecto-contaminated people? Don’t have wings. Liminals and Halfas, who have developed cores? Do have wings, and they can’t hide said wings, because unlike ghosts? Their bodies are physical living flesh. 
Now Gotham? Ecto-contaminated, there’s no doubt about it. The amount of portals that have been opened there and death pits and death cults… yeah it’d be surprising if it wasn’t. But again, no one really notices, because at most? Most just get a bit of eyeshine. 
The Bats however? Oh man are they freaking out when they wake up with aches in their back and feathers starting to poke through their skin. Curse? Nope! Welcome to Liminality, enjoy the second puberty of wings, emotion-sharing, fangs, claws, and whatever else you might develop- also enjoy the whole eating fear thing. (Wait, the what-)

I remember seeing someone say that Bruce wouldn't deny the Batman allegations. Like he will proudly tell everyone he is most definitely the Batman whenever he's asked, and it would actually do wonders with keeping the secret hidden.
Like it would be more suspicious than anything if billionaire playboy Brucie Wayne so adamantly denied any connection to the vigilante.
And yeah, so i was thinking what would his kids think about it? like they get asked during interviews and whatnot what they think about their dad being Batman.
I feel like Dick would just play along and say some shit like "if B is Batman, then I'm Nightwing" and get a look from the man
And Jason would take any opportunity to shit on B and say something along the lines of "B's Batman? I call bullshit. He's not even a man"
Tim would either:
a. pull up a 99 slided presentation about how Bruce Wayne is, in fact, NOT Batman and be internally laughing the whole time cause he is funny, and people just dont know what they're talking about.
Or b. (only when he's been up for a few days) confirm it and go "Well yes, of course he is. It'd be weird if he wasn't since the cave's under the house."
Cassandra would just smile and stare into the person's soul until they move on onto the next question.
Steph would deny it and claim that she's Batman and that Bruce is her Robin. She'd probably also manage to convince a few people to join her.
Duke would be like "He's Batman? Ohhh that explains the explosives I found in the cellar!" or something else, just as worrying.
Damian would just nod and go into a full length speech about how Batman is the best superhero (after Nightwing of course) and completely disregard the question. And before anyone can re-ask, he'd just walk off.

By the time Danny moves to Gotham when he's going to Gotham University he starts putting a mask over his face because ultimately Gotham citizens are just smarter than Amity ones and it's not like a domino mask like the Robins and it's not a full cowl like Batman.
So I have four alternative options;
Number one being one of those digital masks that can show different exclamations and stuff (like this one:)
Tumblr media
I just think it'd be funny for everyone to think that the new ghost hero that just turned up out of nowhere is mute and then one day he just starts talking and everybody's like: "WAIT WHAT?!?"
Alternatively, the most obvious option is the Phantom of the Opera mask and he does this purely for the fucking gimmick it covers completely nothing so he has to wear a mesh black mask underneath to cover his features but still, it's funny
Tumblr media
Third plague doctor again purely only for the gimmick and because he thinks it's funny that everyone thinks he's from the plague times so they ask him weird questions and he has to do a whole bunch of research to answer them and he doesn't look online for This research he goes to actual plague survivors in the ghost Realm
Tumblr media Tumblr media
4th and finally only for my imagination this specific mask because I think it's fucking perfect (yes I know it's not an actual mask and it doesn't cover his entire face but you can't deny he looks fucking awesome here and I wish this look stayed or at least made another appearance)

Okay so there's this idea for a fic I've been thinking of.
The jl are combating something that can only be touched with magic, jl dark is unresponsive (they got stuck in another dimension again), and cap - their only other magic user - is too injured.
But when they start stressing cap just slams a sheaf of papers of the table like 'pick between yourselves what powers you want, it's one each. Ig I'll sponsor you for today'.
Everyone: what?
Cap, spreading the papers to show each has a letter... Spelling out a magic word?: I'm serious. Do you want a cool new power? Consequence free? For as long as you need?
Batman:... Are you saying... You can... Give out powers?
Cap: my powers, yes. Flash, put Mercury back. That's pointless.
It'd be a great chance to have him explain his powers as a sort of reveal, including why he doesn't do it (it divides his power equally and thus severely weakens him). Also it would be very funny, I think, to see the jl in colour coded marvel suits being basically patroned by Billy. Batman has a blindingly white cowl. Flash has a cape. There's so much 'wait this chill childlike guy from some random city is actually insanely powerful' potential.
But also:
Batman, slowly pinwheeling through the air: how do I steer.

ANOTHER MULTIVERSE FIC because I can't stop myself, apparently. An injustice!Superman one, this time. I imagine you were a small-time hero/vigilante in this one, so Superman knew (and liked) you before he turned bad, but you weren't super close, before.
-You wake up in an unfamiliar room, tied to a chair, not knowing how you got there. Kal doesn't ever let you leave the fortress. But you don't know how anyone else could have gotten in to take you here, wherever here is. Maybe it was Kal? But why would he do that?
-You spot a woman tied up in another chair next to you, it seems like she also just woke up. She reminds you of someone, but you can't remember who exactly... You want to ask her if she knows more about what's going on, when you realize you're both gagged. Shit. You can't even communicate with her!
-A man comes in, rambling something about how he's glad you're finally awake and about his plan finally taking shape. You feel like you should know this guy, but can't quite put a finger on it...
-Being unsure if you know who he is, as you're "not from here", he introduces himself. He's Lex Luthor.
-Wait. Lex Luthor? The Lex Luthor? The dead one, who was killed by Superman? Is this a prank? Because if so, it isn't funny at all. And quite dangerous for everyone involved.
-Luthor (if that is his real name) then focuses on the woman next to you. He addresses her as "Mrs. Lane".
-Lane as in Lois Lane? Like, Lois Lane from the Daily Planet? Clark Kent's, Superman's wife? Now you know something is extremely wrong. She's dead, too, and everyone knows not to mention her name unless they want to face Superman's wrath... You make a few muffled sounds beneath your gag, itching to ask about just what is going on here.
-Luthor says he's going to explain everything, don't be so impatient! He has a machine that can open portals to parallel universes, which is how he got you here. His plan includes kidnapping the person that is most important to Superman in his own universe (Lois Lane), the person most important to Superman in a second universe (You!) and then making the Supermen fight each other by threatening your lives. The only way to save you is if one Superman dies. This room is Superman proof, he can't hear or see anything that's happening in here, so they can't just swoop in and save you. After the fight, he's going to let the winning Superman enter this room, promising him that he can rescue Lois or you. Except not really, because he's going to try to kill the winner too, because that should be easier after he just fought another Superman, right? He hasn't opened a portal to let the Superman from your universe know about how he can save you, yet. He closed the portal he got you through immediately after kidnapping you, so he had more time to prepare everything. How he found you? Something about being able to detect kryptonian dna residue on you. And you were in Superman's fortress. Easy to combine that you must be important to him.
-That's... actually not a terrible plan! Sure, it might not work out exactly the way that Luthor is planning, but beating Superman with Superman is a great idea! Actually it'd be great if Luthor got a third one here. Two Supermen should definitely be able to defeat one Superman, right? Unfortunately you can't communicate any of this through your gag. Damn, you'd love to help him improve his plan...
-You wonder if he chose your universe completely randomly, or if he chose an evil Superman on purpose. You don't think he did, he didn't mention the regime with one word, and if it existed in this universe he wouldn't be working on this stupid plan. And Lois wouldn't be alive, probably.
-Before you can let your thoughts spiral even more, Luthor falls over. Huh? Is he unconscious? You spot Batman coming towards you. Ah. That explains that, then. Man, you haven't seen Batman in such a long time...
-"Are you two alright?" He quickly cuts through the ropes tying you to the chairs, freeing you. "Good thing you used your bat emergency-signal, Lois. I was able to get to you before Superman could fall for Luthor's trap." Wait, why would Lois contact Batman? Oh, right, sometimes you forget that he and Superman used to be friends, so obviously his wife would trust him too.
-He takes off both of your gags and then turns to you. "We figured out you're from a parallel universe, but don't worry, Nightwing is currently working on a way to get in contact with the Superman from your dimension, so-"
-"NO!", you scream, making Batman look at you in confusion. You quickly tell him to contact Nightwing, to make him stop trying to open a portal or god forbid, contact Kal!! Noticing the urgency in your voice, Batman quickly complies and lets Nightwing know to stop what he's doing, before asking you to elaborate. Phew! The last thing you need is an angry Superman wreaking havoc in a second universe.
-You start explaining to Batman about how your Superman started changing for the worse after Lois died (sparing the details, as she's kind of sitting right next to you), started to get darker, kill villains, everyone who did something bad, people who disagreed with him. Other heroes, even. People he used to be friends with. How everyone who didn't agree with him and join his regime, including you and Batman, had to go into hiding, trying to find a way to stop him. Clark, no KAL-EL found you at some point, but instead of killing you, he unexpectedly took you, basically imprisoned you. Kept you like a pet who's not smart enough to make their own decisions. (You never even knew he liked you like that at all, before that. Sure, he was always nice to you, but he had Lois!)
-Lois seems visibly shocked, whereas Batman just listens to you stoically. "All this to say, it's good to see you alive, Lois!" You smile weakly. She tries to smile back, but before she can respond, Batman cuts her off. "We should leave this place. I doubt it's very safe here. We should return to the Batcave, think of a plan." You spare one last glance at Luthor, who's still lying on the floor (Are we just going to leave him here? Huh. Ok.), then follow Batman outside.
-As soon as you're out of the building, something rushes past you. "Lois! Are you ok? Did he hurt you?" Not something. Someone. You try not to flinch as he fusses over her, while she reassures him that she's fine multiple times.
-After he's convinced she's not hurt, he turns to you with a gentle smile. "Hello! So you're close to the Superman in another dimension, then?" As he takes a step towards you, you instinctively take a step back towards Batman. Clark frowns at him quizzically. It's funny, he almost looks like a confused puppy. You would smile if you didn't know that this is all a facade to distract from his god-like, destructive powers.
-"Turns out the other version of you is some kind of evil dictator." Well, leave it to Batman to get straight to the point. Clark opens and closes his mouth a few times, thinking about what to say. "Well, I can assure you that I'm not like the Superman you know. I promise you, I'm a good person! At least I try my best to be one. You don't have to be scared." His voice is getting increasingly gentle, trying to reassure you.
-"Oh yeah? That's exactly what the Superman from my dimension would have said, before..." You don't mention his wife's death, not wanting to anger him. "The same thing could happen to you. You might be nice now, but who knows what the future holds?" As you're saying this, you slowly move slightly behind Batman. Just in case. He should have some kryptonite on him, right?
-Superman just frowns harder, then turns to Lois. "We should go home." He picks her up and turns to Batman. "Contact me as soon as you have plans for... handling the other me." With that, he takes off.
-Batman ushers you into the Batmobile, where Nightwing (another ghost, to you) is already waiting. You keep turning to look at him during the drive to the Batcave, while Bruce explains the situation to him. If they notice your weird looks, they don't mention it.
-You allow yourself to feel some hope. Maybe you can contact your Bruce? Help him out! Send a few still good Supermen! Your head is spinning with ideas, and you're sure Batman can come up with even better ones. You can't help but smile, your nightmare might finally be over...

for clone Danny, Clone Damian
I give you
Edit Clone Talia as somehow Girlfriend of Danny, just think of the comedy
nah brO BECAUSE LITERALLY I HAVE THOUGHT BOUT THAT. Literally since the conception of Clone Danny, I have thought about it. If only for, as you said, the COMEDY of it all. Plus I love writing romance.
Literally my motto for my aus is: A) is it plausible, B) is it FUNNY (and a secret third option C) is it ANGSTY)
Clone Talia would be an offshoot au of Clone^2 because idk how she'd fit into the original timeline, bUT, she'd exist. And to avoid confusion I'll call her Nasra - I thought about Tameka (which means twin) but I like Nasra better. "Talia and Nasra" just flows so nicely doesn't it?
Idk WHY there's a clone of Talia running around -- maybe the LoA made her, maybe n unknown organization who hates Batman and knows he has romantic ties to Talia, and started making a clone of her to fuck with him and then she got nabbed by a portal when she was still Danny's age and in the middle of training. She might be like Connor (??) and have memories and thus her training is more proficient than baby Dames.
Either way, regardless of how she was made, I think it's hilarious if she, much like baby Dames, immediately attacks Danny on sight. She falls into his city and Danny only has a moment to go "goddammit not agaIN" before he's fending off a very confused, very violent Nasra. Fortunately he's able to actually try and talk to her and be at least somewhat successful -- Nasra knows english. although even if she didn't, Danny would still be somewhat successful since he knows Arabic.
Also Bruce and Danny are the battinson bat because i think that is also hilarious and 'wet rat' is STILL the perfect energy for Danny as Phantom - especially in the early days when he's running around in all but jeans and a hoodie. (and god watch me go on a rant in a separate post about his outfit and reasonings for being Phantom when he has no powers later on because it makes me go FERAL. and his active choice to look as inhuman and ghost-like through his behavior as phantom and the decision to wear such a creepy mask as possible)
(like seriously, imagine walking home late at night while danny was still in his early vigilante days (and even now when he's got damian and a better suit) and seeing a skinny figure in the shadows with sunken in black-and-glowing-green eyes, and a bone white, skull-like face, crouched on all fours like a wild animal about to pounce. THAT is the level of creepiness I was going for for clone danny)
In my head, Sam offers to house Nasra and Nasra stays with her. SAm is able to convince her parents to let her stay, or she pulls a Danny and just straight up smuggles her in and her parents are none the wiser. I also think it's funny if they have unspoken BEEF with each other. Only to later become like sisters. Nasra teaches Sam the martial arts she knows, and also Danny joins in too with Damian because goddamn he needs it even IF he's learning stuff from his mom (as per the most recent snippet post I made).
OH AND DAMIAN AND NASRA. I think it's equally as funny if they ALSO have beef with each other. Nasra is a clone of his mother (of whom he might have complicated views on due to being a clone but still is his mother) and Damian is a clone of Nasra's "son". This beef largely starts from Damian's own refusal to want to share his Danny with another clone, especially with a clone of his MOTHER.
Danny and Nasra don't become lovers for a good, long while I think. They're besties first before they even consider the idea of dating -- not only just because of the whole "uhhh our counterparts dated so it'd feel kinda weird and forced if we dated" and also because Nasra, with her newfound freedom, is busy trying to figure out herself.
A big theme here in clone^2: discovering your identity and who you are as a person when the only thing you own that's unique is your name (which isn't even the case for Damian), and figuring out if your choices are your own or because you're a clone and its something your original would have done. Nature vs Nurture and the illusion of choice and whether it really is one or not.
Also Nasra also becomes a vigilante. Danny appreciates the help but is also tearing out his hair because what the fuck is up with these assassins and becoming vigilantes?! Nasra goes by "Nesha". She's similar to Red Huntress at first where she kinda does her own thing, but is lowkey forced to team up with Danny about it because she doesn't have any proper ghost hunting equipment with her.
And then a duo becomes a trio, and Danny is spending more time with her. And they steadily become friends. Very snarky friends who are very bratty to each other, but friends. Damian still doesn't like her so Danny spends extra time during patrol keeping the two of them from making insults at each other.
"Nesha please stop fighting with a nine year old. Wraith, quit insulting Nesha."
Nasra also uses like, weaponry as Nesha which exasperates Danny a little because why are you using swords??? They're already dead its not gonna kill them,,,, If you cut off their heads its just gonna piss em off, its re-attachable. Let him ghost-proof it first too. But well, its still gonna HURT he supposes. He's still a little exasperated.
And MMM i'm sorry lmao im so focused on Nasra becoming her own person than the actual romance aspect of it all. Nasra cuts her hair short for the same/similar reasons that Danny keeps his long - to try and gain a semblance of autonomy and identity that's away from their original. Danny has his alternative rock-kinda geeky look and Nasra's got, from influence from Sam, a more alternative fashion style. Although she still leans into being feminine, which is a good challenge to Sam's belief that feminity = bad, and gets her to unlearn those bad habits since her new adoptive sister is feminine while still being an unapologetic badass.
And ykw I think Nasra gets into rollerblading and loves it. She rollerblades constantly. Damian is furious because skating is his thing (even if what he gets later on is a skateboard - skater boy damian ftw. i can see him wearing flannels and graphic tees as a teenager. very grungy/skater aesthetic. He also has a much more relaxed and teen-y speech pattern compared to DW's more formal way of talking. He also spray paints as his form of artistic medium.) and he refuses to have Nasra be a copy of him.
They will sort out their differences eventually. LMao.
Anyways they eventually do get together, but not before Danny finally has his run in with Mister Wayne. Which, they only meet because Danny starts destabilizing, and thus needs Bruce Wayne's DNA to help stabilize himself. Which that meeting in and of itself is pretty chaotic on its own, but then add clone Damian and Nasra? Bruce needs coffee.. or alcohol.
Because picture this: its late at night, you're on patrol with the rest of your family. It's like, two in the morning. You suddenly get a call in from your butler, Alfred, informing you that not one, not two, but THREE children -- two of them in their late teens and the other one not even ten yet -- showed up on your doorstep. One of them is unconscious. They are all clones.
The girl and the boy are twins - and are clones of YOU - and the girl isn't even technically YOUR clone she's a clone of your clone - and also this clone of you is your college friends' kid. And then the youngest boy is a clone of your youngest SON. Bruce is running across rooftops when he gets this call and does a literal 180 degree turn and touches the ground because he basically did a figure skating turn, and sprints back towards the manor because what the fuck? He needs to check this out.
And then half a day later a clone of your fucking ex shows up on your doorstep demanding to see the clone of you - the boy that is, not the girl - and then immediately gets into a verbal lashing with the clone of your son. Like what a fucking DAY. Your kids are equally as baffled but also laughing their asses off -- except your bio son, who is very unhappy about this turn of events and keeps getting the stink eye from his clone.
Like??? I'd quit right then and there.
While Danny recovers he's staying in Wayne manor and Damian is very reportedly not leaving his side. Ellie has to leave to help take care of Amity Park with RH, and then Nasra is also very determinedly not leaving his side either. This is her friend dammit. The first thing she does when he becomes lucid is insult him, and he insults her back - they're bantering. It's how they flirt later on. None of the Bats know how to deal with this situation.

some good dad bruce hcs pls bc it's just been bad dad bruce around here and i'm sick of it
Battinson being interested in mechanics and gadget making and generally being more involved with the technology that makes batman makes me think he's def the toy maker
Like, he designed Robin gadgets with a toy perspective in mind; Those exploding gumballs Jason used? Bruce made them. Jason loves them so much
I feel like Bruce's clumsiness around adults can sometime override his understanding of children in people's eyes; Being around kids is 10x easier, especially for people on the spectrum, so the batfamily has a sturdy foundation
And by that I mean they make everyone uncomfortable by how open they are
This is just me, but It'd be extremely funny if the bat kids were fucked up for reasons completely isolated from their family
Like. Jason and Dick, -- they constantly have to be like oh no I had a great father, I'm a feral bastard by himself. Don't give him the credit
" man I know you have some daddy issues that'd make a Netflix protagonist cry" " not me. I fucking love my dad"

I had more thoughts about my "Elle is the Ancient of the Speedforce" au idea so I'm gonna dump them here in bullet point format:
Elle decides to formally claim the Flash Fam as part of her Court, no one thinks much of this outside of "Oh that's neat" until it comes out that if anything happens to Elle, the FlashFam becomes the new Royal Family of Speedforce and that due to weird Infinite Realms laws Bart is the next in line for the mantle of Ancient of the Spaceforce
Elle can use any Speedster as a portal. She just decides who she wants to see and just comes crawling put of their chests like a god damn horror movie. It doesn't hurt the Speedster at all (it actually gives them a power boost for a bit) but it is absolutely fucking terrifying to witness this eldritch entity burst its way out of the Speedster in question. The FlashFam uses this as the ultimate intimidation tactic. It's super effective.
Now that they are in direct contact with the Speedforce itself (in a way) the Speedsters can get away with So Much Shit that they didn’t used to. Elle can now just pull them out of her core if they end up going to fast and now that they have someone who has the Ancient of Time on speed dial (ha) they get a heads up on what that particular attempt to fuck with time will result in
Technically Diana & the FlashFam are cousins now. The family reunions get a little wild. Batman has no idea how he's supposed to make contingencies for this shit
Anytime any of the Speedsters are having issues with the Speedforce they call Elle and she helps them figure it out and get it under control. Sometimes to help calm them down she will pull the Speedforce away from them completely
Elle decides that her Speedsters all need therapy. Jazz won't do it because since they're family now it'd be a conflict of interests but a few Yetis from the Far Frozen step up to help.
Anytime it looks like there is something truly world ending about to go down thr FlashFam call Elle to help out. Since she looks like a tiny twelve year old girl it results in a lot of funny moments of the Biggest Big Bads being like "This is all you got?" Seconds before having their faces melted off.
The reason Bart is Elle's heir is because he "inherited" Elle's. (And therefore Danny's) ability to duplicate.
Everyone finally chills out about the idea of Bart being Elle's heir only to discover that being her heir also makes him second in line for the throne of the Infinite Realms.
Constantine - once he stops having a panic attack about it - does try to sell his soul to each of the Speedsters just to see if it would work. It does, but since they technically out rank everyone else he's sold his soul too, anyone who has a soul contract with Constantine takes this to mean the new members of the Royal Family want *all* of Constantine's soul and hand thier contracts over to try and gain favor. Constantine now constantly feels like he's on the brink of having an adrenaline crash and no one will buy his soul off him anymore because no one wants to piss off the new royals lol

@skulld3mort-1fan replied to your post “PERSONAL ASSISTANT DANNY AU!!! Amity Park has a...”:
Question is this before brice adopted dick or after ?? Is this when he has either jason or tim?? Cause this could be hilarious that they see Danny as Bruce keeper by how he manages to get him to his next schedule despite the amount of bullshit he's gone through and they all love the man cause he manages to be able to scold bruce as well as has Alfred's respect ( this can also slowly build to bruce x Danny thered very few of them and I really want to find some other )
​I think there's potential for the AU during any section of Bruce's life! It'd be funny to see 40-something year old Bruce with a massive gaggle of kids and is also secretly a hardened vigilante, city cryptid, and recognized founder of the Justice League to be manhandled by some 25-year-old recent graduate that looks like he weighs a hundred pounds soaking wet.
However, I think for this AU I'm leaning more towards Danny and Bruce being around the same age. (I've already discussed my thoughts on a possible romantic relationship for them here if you're interested)
So to set the scene:
Bruce is around 25/26 when he returns to Gotham and is intent to regain his position as CEO and majority shareholder of his parents' company while also setting himself up as The Batman. The former he accomplishes with all the pizzazz and efficiency of Elle Woods from Legally Blonde (because you can't convince me that a competent Brucie Wayne isn't just Elle Woods). But the board members still underestimate Bruce. They think he's too young, too inexperienced, and honestly? He's been gone from the face of the earth for years so they just have no idea how to deal with Bruce. And if there's one thing businessmen don't like (other than losing money), it's uncertainty.
They pressure Bruce into getting a PA because "Well, Mr. Wayne you've been gone from Gotham for so long, there's so much you need to catch up on. A PA would do wonders in keeping you organized!" It's honestly just a very thinly veiled excuse to get someone to spy on Bruce. Bruce can't figure out a way to get out of it, so he's forced to go along. He rejects ever applicant that came at the recommendation of most of his Board, and while it would be great to hire someone from Gotham, this is the era before Wayne Enterprises gained its shiny and clean personality, and there's no telling if any of these applicants have been bribed by one party or another.
Surprisingly, the answer to his problems came from a business meeting with Vlad Masters.
"If you're still looking, I'd like to recommend a candidate," Vlad said. "He's the son of some good friends of mine and had worked as my own PA for some time. He's quite good." Bruce nearly missed Vlad mutter 'almost too good' under his breath, but didn't remark on it.
"Oh? Why are you handing him to the competition then?"
"Ah, the two of us had some...differences. And the boy's at that age where he wants to see more of the world. So, why not Gotham? I'll send you his resume. Just think on it."
Despite Bruce's suspicions, there wasn't anything sketchy that he could dig up on Danny Fenton. Besides, Vlad Masters was notorious in guarding his privacy, and if he recommended Fenton, well, Bruce could at least count on him not getting bribed by anyone.

Are you taking request for young justice still?
if you are could I request the OG young justice team, if not all then just, Kaldur'ahm with a (gn) Ninja Reader. They grew up in the Ninja clan and are highly skilled. Because the Ninja clan their from specializes in stealth attacks, reader usually doesn't realize people have no idea when they enter a room because they're natural sneaky and quite.
Characters included: Kaldur'ahm / Aqualad , M'Gann M'Orzz / Miss Martian , Conner Kent / Superboy
Pronouns used: None
Relationship: Platonic or romantic, up to you to decide
Note(s) : Yes of course, I wasn't able to do all because I haven't watched it in a while, so have Kaldur, Conner and M'Gann. Sorry it took so long 😭 I procrastinate a lot
Tumblr media
Kaldur'ahm / Aqualad
Tumblr media
He's so tired man
Bro was trying to chill when you fucking appeared out of nowhere and made him regret being on land
You probably couldn't even tell cause his just eyes widened for a moment before sighing
He doesn't mind too much as long as you try to make him aware
But honestly it's kinda funny so you'll probably continue being sneaky on purpose this time
Kaldur loves your skills as a ninja and appreciates your stealth in missions, but God if he didn't feel his entire body shudder with complete and utter shock
It's rare you're paired with him because stealth tends to be better alone or only talking through coms
M'Gann M'Orzz / Miss Martian
Tumblr media
The first time you appeared behind her she screamed and then walked away in complete embarrassment
Now she always has her mind link on with you
But even then, its not enough
Literally cried once after a horror movie marathon, nobody talks about it
You and her go on stealth missions a lot due to her being able to sneak around invisible and you basically being stealthy enough to be considered invisible
Sometimes when you two are feeling funny you'll spook people on your missions before moving away, you get scolded afterwards but it's worth it
Honestly she doesn't mind too much, I think she'd get use to it after a while.
M'Gann will sometimes try pranking you back, so far it's only worked if you're tired.
Conner Kent / Superboy
Tumblr media
Straight up punted the fuck out of you the first time while audibly yelling
Conner probably stomped off before coming back and apologising
Probably cried in his room feeling bad tbh
Now whenever you do it he jumps 5 feet in the air like a cat before angrily walking off
Sometimes he does this with enemies, he gets so awkward after it that he just beats them up. They end up worse than if batman found them
Conner tells you half seriously that he doesn't want you to do it publicly, both out of embarrassment and fear he could hurt you on instinct.
You probably try being less quiet like coughing when you enter a room, but it happens occasionally and he might start an argument over it ngl
With how he was in s1, I imagine it'd be like reasoning with a brick wall
Bro is the opposite of stealth in s1 you'd never be paired with this guy

How would you write the Court of Owls?
Also I am obsessed with persephone and your blog, I am chomping at the bit whenever I think of all the teasers you post about what's to come
ah ty! hopefully the finale sticks the landing hehehe
wrt court of owls - ig it really depends on what u want to achieve with the narrative. if i were to rewrite them, my priority would be stripping it of the blood libel trope, and removing their weird machiavellian plotting to create batman and robin.
the easiest fix in that regard would just be to make the talons regular ol' emotionally volatile undead, kinda like darkest night (derogatory). i already think that's an interesting dynamic - even ignoring the peanut gallery of dead parents, it could be a fun conversation of like... people who've died in gotham, and the idea of a legacy. maybe jason escaped this fate because he died in ethiopia. maybe steph escaped this fate because she was so quick to return to life. maybe some remnants of bludhaven get caught up in the crossfire. maybe bruce is forced to directly reconcile with his ghosts. maybe maybe maybe.
having talons possess autonomy that has simply been corrupted by their new state of being also allows for more interesting character beats than like... silent assassins who wear fun little hats. the owl motif is a slay, however that's really where my compliments end.
dick being a centrepoint could also be super interesting, but again - it cant be because his great great grand-icicle was a weirdo serial killer. "the gray son" being the stupidest part when his first name is dick is the most impressive thing good grief
i do also think that the idea of a maniacal secret society is done a lot more effectively in black mirror, hush or even gd batman year one tbh. there's not a lot to go on that hasn't been done a hundred times already, unless u make them realistic interpretations of the grotesquely rich. there is definitely space for that in the batman mythos rather than ghoulish phantoms in a sewer. give me more regular, normally evil oligarchs. get ollie to bully bruce about donating his money. it'd be funny.

I'm wracking my brain with what Joker would do in an established situation, like how would he keep those homicidal urges at bay (sex and intimacy can only go so far I imagine) and also there's so much unacknowledged mental health concerns. Bruce would just have to always be ready to pick up the pieces I feel like (God these two are a tragic mess). I don't think normalcy is possible but I don't think their relationship is built for that anyway (I've been writing notes down for a story for days and it's just been consuming me)
An actual relationship between Bruce and Joker is a very complicated thing to imagine, yeah. I agree with you that normalcy is entirely out of the question-- as in, a typical "healthy" relationship. What I think they could have is something that works, but not something that most people would understand or approve of. If you're writing a story, I would say it depends on how they got into the relationship a lot, and if Bruce is compromising as much as Joker perceives he is. For instance, a rehabilitation scenario inherently implies a power imbalance, which Joker would resent and Bruce would not be able to help not taking advantage of. This would not end up working out, in my opinion, unless they got back on equal footing somehow. So a scenario with them an equal footing is what I will be rambling about.
Joker's homicidal urges and mental health issues are indeed a big obstacle. It'd take a whole lot for him to even agree to try for a relationship that involves something other than violence, but this denotes a willingness to compromise from the start. It means he cares about Bruce enough to risk opening the door to his humanity, something that he's very keen on eradicating. Joker can allow himself to love Batman as long as love equals destruction; but once love begins to mean more tender things, things that only people and not monsters can feel... it's a threat to his very identity, to his very core. Hence, just the fact that Joker is in an established relationship means that he's accepted, one way or another, that he's a human being.
Human beings don't need to kill people. Monsters do. It's relevant to note that Joker has an incredible capacity to reshape himself. He's done so multiple times in canon, and always in relation to what he perceived Batman needed. He was murderous when he emerged, but after Robin appeared on the scene he went for funny silly gags, and then he recreated himself back into a horrific threat... In his head, Batman -- the drive to see meaning in all life, to fight for sense in one's existence -- is the force of nature that he's the opposite of. Joker molded himself as the force of chaos: he kills carelessly, sometimes almost joylessly, because he believes he's embodying the true way the world works (though he's shown signs he'd like to be convinced otherwise).
After all, like his fall in the acid and the trauma he went through proved, catastrophe is random. It doesn't matter if you're good or evil, if you've got a family or if you're alone, if you've contributed to society or not. You can get run over by a bus, you can have a heart attack, you can mix the wrong medications, you can get shot in the head by a madman because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. My point with this is that Joker sees himself as an agent of the cruel randomness of existence, and him killing people is very much part of it. So if he stopped seeing himself as an inhuman force for chaos, I think killing would not be a necessity anymore.
That's not to say he wouldn't think of other people's lives as worthless or that he wouldn't instinctually want to kill someone because they're inconveniencing him as some kind of fly buzzing around, but it does mean he wouldn't need to do it. Being with Bruce undermines the very point of being Joker, it means being a person instead of raging at the world. In an established relationship, he'd need to once again reshape himself, figure out who he can be. It'd be very difficult, if you add Bruce's controlling tendencies in the mix. You mentioned Bruce always having to pick up the pieces, but the thing is, Bruce would want to. He'd want to do that too much, he would enjoy seeing Joker be vulnerable, because afterwards... Bruce would be able to put those pieces back together the way he wants them to be. And Joker would be rightly afraid of that, and Bruce himself would be afraid of his own need to do just that, and it'd be a constant push and pull. That's basically what I think it'd be like for a while, before Joker figured out who exactly he's comfortable being, and if he can trust Bruce to still be there when boundaries are being pushed. It'd be a lot of "make me" even in the context of intimacy, until Joker initiates something that doesn't hurt on his own and like... Bruce doesn't move a muscle as if he might spook a wild animal or something. And then Joker snaps at him to stop making it weird, hah.
I'm going to stop here to avoid turning this into a Batjokes relationship essay, but I hope this helped inspire you, Anon! We can always use more Batjokes stories, excited to eventually read yours.

Some completely random superhero duos I like/want to see together (in a platonic way) (crossover)
Firestorm (w Ronnie as the dominant mind specifically) and Atom Eve. They have the same powers and the same 'weakness' (not being able to transform organic stuff) (unless it's Jason ofc), but everything else is wildly different. They both have parental issues though! Even if they're. Also wildly different
Literally any Spidey with any (good) Speedster. Miles and Ace, for example (both are legacies, and also teenagers; some of the other members of the Flashfam are also a legacy but I need those two to interact specifically. I was going to make a "they're both black" joke but I decided it wouldn't be a good idea). Or Avery and Gwen or Peter and Barry and Jay or----
Nova and a Green Lantern. Probably Kyle. I just saw That One Thingy and went, "oh my god Nova and GL". I can't find the art rn but I need more of them
Firestorm and Superman. I've been reading the old Firestorm comics and when Ronnie spots Superman ajdjejdjd it's so funny-- also I'm imagining Superman being like. Superman. And being like, his typical nice and supportive Superman self (I fucking love Superman okay?). And Ronnie being about to cry because "oh my god is this what it'd be like if Dad was good"
Not a duo, but Blue Beetle and the Legacy Trio (Nova, Miles's Spidey and Ms Marvel). I saw some fanart of them and I just loved it sm. I think they'd be a fun group
Red Tornado and Robot (pre-cloning thingy). Do I really need to say more (they are so different from one another but also,,, robot dudes)
Homelander and Omni-Man, simply because I'd like to see the fight
Starfire and Batman, from when Dick was Robin. They have beef. This is canon btw the Titans don't like Batman and Batman doesn't trust the Titans (idk about now but they definitely did not like each other then)
Honestly, any Green Lantern with any Speedster. Those duos always manage to touch my heart
Kyle and Wally. Look I know I already said GL and Speedster, but. KYLE AND WALLY. They are so fucking funny. Wally immediately starts throwing hands the moment anyone even mentions Kyle's name it's hilarious and I love them
The Atom and Firestorm. I have nothing to say about this one
Deadpool and Immortal. This one seems weird but,,, Deadpool would so get in that man's nerves, just think about the potential their interactions would have
Oliver (Kid Omni-Man) and Robin (Damian Wayne). God I would rather die before seeing them interact. They would hate each other's guts and it would be SO annoying

could I please request yandere arkham city riddler alphabet by dear-yandere?
🥀Yandere Alphabet🥀-Arkham City Riddler
Tumblr media
LETS GOO FIRST REQUEST BABYYY
Alphabet by @dear-yandere
Tumblr media
Gif by @ghastlore
!Warnings!: this content contains unhealthy/forced relationship dynamic, yandere trope, mentioned kidnapping, murder, blackmail, stalking, and death.
Yanderes are ok in fiction. Not real life. This is purely for entertainment purposes.
-----------------------------------------------------
Affection-How do they show their love and affection? How intense does it get?
Riddler is a very.. fickle man. He'll swicth between backhanded compliments and insults to praise, from ignoring your presence to wanting you as psychically close as possible. And of course.. he expects you to do the same.
Blood-How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?
He considers himself above violence. Above the knuckle dragging brutes on the streets. So he has other people do his dirty work. He'll gladly send his thugs to beat the daylight out of someone or put them them into one of his rigged puzzle rooms.
Cruelty-How would they treat their darling once abducted? Would they mock them?
He'd most likely just keep you in his little bunker with him. He'd take care of you fine in terms of basic nesscestties- admittedly nothing fancy, but you aren't starving at least. As for mocking? You can bet this egotistical asshole would mock you. Mock you for trying to escape him, fight him, thinking you can outsmart him, for being "stubborn" in his eyes.
Darling- Aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darlings will?
He'll make you go solve his little puzzles rooms.. nothing deadly of course. He just likes seeing you scurry around and try to solve them. Sometimes he'll even promise freedom..! But of course.. those ones are always rigged. He'll also force you to give him praise and feed his ego if you want anything. Or just when he feels like it. He'll also force psychical affection here and there, nothing too intense, only a kiss or hickey at most.
Exposed-How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?
Edward isn't an open man, that much is obvious. While yes, he is more open and vulnerable with you than others, it isn't by much.
Fight-How would they feel if their darling fought back?
At first he might find it funny and amusing. But after the first few times.. he finds it utterly annoying. Why can't you just accept the fact you're his now and stop fighting? In his mind you should be grateful that he's chosen you to be his one and only.
Game-Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy wacthing their darling try to escape?
For the most part he finds it funny that you think you can escape him. He'll humor your failed attempts and drag you back. Mocking you all the way. However if you actually manage to escape... he's absolutely livid. He's checking every camrea around the city and sending his goons to search every inch the of streets. It's not like you could've gotten far in this giant prison.
Hell-What would be their darling’s worst experience with them?
When he forced you into a puzzle room, one you had to solve with a hostages life at stake. That hostage being a loved one. It was heavily rigged in his favor. You had a slim chance of winning sure.. but that's not what happened. Instead you had to wacth your loved one die in front of you. Riddlers smug voice mocking you through the speakers of the room while the projection of him plays on the wall.
Ideals-What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?
He mainly just wants you by his side. However.. it'd be nice if you helped him with his crimes somepoint down the line. Partners in crime. Both of you taking down the batman together!
Jealousy-they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope?
This is Riddler we're talking about. Of course he gets jealous if anyone so much as goes near you. However there's nothing that a little blackmail, intimidation, and a deadly trap can't fix!
Kisses-How do they act around or with their darling?
He acts like his typical narsscstic self. Only difference is that he's a bit more nice to you than others. His usual taunting and demeaning insults becoming more playful teasing. Even if you can't tell the difference.
Love letters-How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?
He'd leave you riddles around the city, leading you to small gifts. All catered to your intrests. He'd even leave special little riddler trophies for you to find! They even shock others that try to pick them up! He can't have someone running off with the trophy he made specifically for you can he?
Mask-Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?
Not really. The only difference is that he's a bit more affectionate and relaxed with you sometimes.
Naughty: How would they punish their darling?
A few different ways depending on the offense. He might take away things from you, such as a notebook, personal belonging, anything you might need such as glasses if you wear them. Thats for small things. He'll put you in a puzzle or lock you in a dark room for slightly more severe things. For big offenses He'll murder a loved one in front of you, maybe even force you to do it.
Oppression: How many rights would they take away from their darling?
All of them essentially. The only tiny freedom you might get is some small things to entertain yourself such as a notebook or some personal belongings he stole from your home.
Patience: How patient are they with their darling?
It really depends. I'd say he has a moderate amount of patience considering he has the patience to set up elaborate puzzles, fight batman over and over, and stalk you. However he may be quick to loose his cool if he isn't in control. If things aren't going his way.
Quit: If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?
If you leave? Well.. he'll be one step ahead of you. He has eyes all around the city. Camreas, thugs, other villians, and after all.. he doubts you'll be able to climb over the giant heavily guarded walls of the city. Now if you die.. he'll be absolutely broken.. luckily.. there's always the lazarus pit nearby isn't there?
Regret: Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let their darling go?
No. Plain and simple.
Stigma: What brought about this side of them (childhood, curiosity, etc)?
A mix of curiosity and his upbringing. He was curious about you at first.. something drew him to you. You Intelligence, your personality, your looks? Who knows. You were almost able to be his equal. Much more so than batman. You made him feel something he never felt before.. but it made him feel good. Due his awful upbringing with an abusive father.. a household with no love or kindness.. he wasn't keen on letting you slip out of his grasp.
Tears: How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?
It makes him feel the tiniest bit of guilt. That quickly turns to annoyance. He hates the noise. He dosen't understand why you insist on putting up such a fight and complaining. It's not going to change your situation. Despite that he does try to comfort and calm you down, albeit in a very condescending and patronizing way..
Unique: Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?
Putting you in escape rooms. The fact that he's a super villian as well.
Vice: What weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape?
His ego. Feed his ego and give him praise. It isn't a guaranteed ticket to escape, but it'll raise your chances significantly. Depending on how you go about it.. if you do it subtlety and slowly over time.. it'll be more believable. Do it too quickly, and he'll cacth onto the stunt you're trying to pull. If you do escape via this tactic, you better hope he dosen't catch you again. Once he does.. you won't be able to use his ego against him again.
Wit’s end: Would they ever hurt their darling?
No. He'd never try to psychically hurt you. Not after what he dealt with as child. If he laid his hands on you, he'd be just like his father. The last thing he wants to be is anything like his wrecthed father.
Xoanon: How much would they revere or worship their darling? To what length would they go to win their darling over?
As much as he dosen't want to admit it.. he does worship a tiny bit. After all.. You're the only person he feels comes close to being his equal and he'll go to great lengths to keep you. For the most part however he wants you to worship him. Then he'll do the same for you.
Yearn: How long do they pine after their darling before they snap?
A few months most likely.
Zenith: Would they ever break their darling?
He'd prefer not to. But.. if push comes to shove, yes. Wether it be intentional or unintentional.

I've got a terrible idea.
Dreamling superhero AU, but it's Dream as Batman and Hob as Superman asfjghajfgakldfg
Have I read too much SuperBat lately? No, I haven't read enough in fact.
In this instance, Dream is a single child who had loving parents and he witnesses them being murdered, which fuels his need for justice and hence Batman is created. He is raised by the family butler Mervyn and, after a few years, adopts an orphan named Lucienne who he trains to be his sidekick (because if he doesn't she's only going to go out on her own without any training and that'll be the worse outcome). After a falling out with Lucienne, who leaves the nest for her independence, Dream adopts another orphan Jessamy. Sadly she is killed by Dream's nemesis (idk Burgess as the Joker? lmao) and Dream spirals into more depression until Matthew comes barging into his life. Little Matt figured out Dream was Batman somehow and basically demanded to be his sidekick because Dream needs the help. Later on, Orpheus comes into the picture as Dream's son whose mother is Calliope (idk how to fit her into this, though I feel she fits in a more "redeemed" Talia mold if anything).
On the other hand, Hob is an alien from space who crash lands to Earth as a baby and is raised by good folk. When Hob realizes he has powers he know that he has to use them for good (though it's not like he doesn't use them for some small petty things now and again lol). He becomes a journalist so that he's up to date about current events and so that it's easy to slip away if needed. He meets Eleanor and falls in love and they have a son named Robyn. Haven't decided if Eleanor and Hob separate for some reason or she dies in childbirth.
AND AFTER ALL THIS Dream and Hob fall in love somehow. IDK I didn't think this far lmao I just though it'd be really funny if they were Batman and Superman and still feel in love MAKE OF IT WHAT YOU WILL
