De-aged Danny wandering the street of Gotham as a five year old:

Batfam: hello child are you alright?

Danny: Yup! :D

Batfam: where are your parents buddy?

Danny: don’t need em. Tried to kill me

Batfam: *concerned* how about you come with us for a little while?

Danny: no thank you mister Batman, I don’t trust adults

Batfam: oh no

#dc x dp #dp x dc #dpxdc #dcxdp #I love de-aged danny #either with memories or without #cause like baby danny would be smarter than the average toddler #and say shit that so so strange coming from a high pitched squeaky toddler voice #why does this baby know what murder is? who taught him how to wield a knife? how does baby know how to reach stove to cook?#why did baby just beat my ass? how did he drop kick me?#the Batman may never know #danny phantom #danny fenton #dp x dc prompt #dp x dc crossover #batfam #dc x dp prompt

A Persuasive Argument - dpxdc

"Great!" Danny says, clapping his hands together to get everyone's attention. The dinner table falls silent as everyone looks towards him. It's a full house today and, honestly, Danny's a little nervous. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I gathered you here today."

"It's dinnertime. In our house." Duke mutters, while doing a very bad job of concealing his yawn. He holds his fork poised over the braised beef, but, just like everyone else, still looks towards Danny before tucking in. It's intriguing enough to wait.

"Yeah, no one misses Alfie's dinner." Dick says, with a brilliant smile that Danny can't help but return.

"Precisely! What better time to talk to you all than when you're all actually here!"

"Wait, I thought you came round to work on our English essays?" Tim asks, blinking owlishly.

"I'm afraid I've lured you here under false pretences, Tim."

"This is where I live."

"I would still really appreciate help on that essay though, I mean, what the hell is Hamlet even about? I just don't get that old time-y language, like 'Hark! A ghost hath killed me!' - absolute rubbish, what does that even mean?"

"The ghost never kills anyone in Hamlet, he's there to tell Hamlet that he was murdered. Have you actually read it?"

"No, but it sounds like you have. Tim, I want this guy to help me with my essay instead. I know for a fact that you haven't read Hamlet, either."

"So? We don't need Jason, I've read the Sparknotes."

"Hi Jason, I'm Danny, pleasure to meet you, summarise Hamlet in three sentences or less."

"Am I auditioning to help you write your essays? I can't believe you’ve gone through your whole school life without reading it, it’s good!"

"Hamlet, along with a number of other classics, was banned in our house because it portrayed ghosts as intelligent and sympathetic beings rather than evil, animalistic beasts. I didn’t even get to see The Muppet's Christmas Carol until last year with Tim! It was surprisingly good, and I hate Christmas because everyone always argued and it sucked. But we're getting off topic. I—"

"No, no, please go back to that, because what the fu—"

"Boys, please." Bruce interrupts, looking to the world as if he wants to hang his head in his hands. "Danny, you were about to say something?"

"Oh, yeah, Mr. Wayne! Thanks!"

"Please, call me Bruce."

"Well, that very succinctly brings me to my point, because I'd actually really like to call you dad."

Nobody says a word. Nobody even blinks, all as shocked as the other, watching open-mouthed as Danny pulls his laptop out from beside his chair. Bruce can definitely feel a headache coming on.

"Before you say anything, I've prepared a 69 slide PowerPoint presentation on why you, Bruce Wayne, should adopt me, Danny Last-Name-Pending. Please save your questions, comments, and verdict until the end, thank you."

Danny is the Ghost King.

About 99% of ghosts see him as the Savior, the Liberator, the one who defeated Pariah Dark. They see him as the Balance and the Guardian and the one Chosen by the Realms itself.

Basically, they hang onto his every word, praise his every action, because they believe that even if they don’t understand why he’s doing it, it is all part of a larger plan.

This has made Danny even more of a little shit, as it’s the only thing that makes his job as Ghost King tolerable. As a result, he starts to play into it a lot, saying and doing increasingly ridiculous things to try and figure out when they catch on.

(They haven’t yet. To be fair, it’s been a slow escalation.)

Danny gets so into this little game of his that when he’s suddenly gained an audience of a few people who claimed they were lost, he doesn’t stop. He points out landmarks in opposite directions of the Realms, he spins around and points in different directions as he talks, he floats and dashes all around the room.

And then he suddenly stops, looks at them again. “Wait. You’re living. Not. Not ghosts. That explains why-why you aren’t…” He shakes himself and suddenly there’s very embarrassed, very serious, but much more straightforward Danny taking charge.

(The JL were scared of this unknown. They had been trying to investigate the rumors of a new ghost king when they fell into a natural portal. They stumbled their way to the palace and realize very quickly that this is a kid.

Negotiations between dimensions aren’t that nerve-wracking once they figure that part out.)

#danny phantom #dc x dp #dp x dc #ghost king danny #danny is fucking around #and he is finding out #and literally every ghost he comes across says shit like #‘he is so strong and wise’#‘we will never understand him’#‘he is just above us’#meanwhile danny is literally just sitting upside down because he’s bored #the JL know what superpowered teens are like #and danny fits the bill perfectly #negotiations may include: adoption #BATMAN NO THEY DO NOT HE IS STILL A KING YOU CANT JUST-

What do you think makes Tim drake special? Aside from a death in the family moment… 🤦

“death in the family moment”? Do you mean Jason? Or are you saying that Tim was introduced because of what happened during Death in the Family? I’ll defend both Tim and Jason just in case haha

Tim Drake is special because he chose this life. Much like Barry prior to The Flash: Rebirth (2009), Tim didn’t need a tragic backstory to inspire him to go out and be a hero. He also didn’t need superpowers to become a superhero (unlike Barry). No, Tim is Robin (Red Robin/Drake) because he saw the need and didn’t wait for the vacuum to be filled, he went out and filled it. Tim believes in Batman in a way that almost no one else does. He believes in Batman’s ability to save Gotham and he understands completely how and why Batman can be that hero. He’s also unique in his equal belief in Robin. That’s why he’s so okay with not “graduating” from being Robin, because unlike so many others, he recognizes that Robin is just as important for Gotham as Batman is and it’s this intense understanding that makes him such a cool and important character.

Now for Jason, I think he’s unique because he’s the redemption story. I’m sure some people would call him a failure, but I wholeheartedly disagree. Anyone who knows anything knows that you only fail something when you stop trying and Jason has never stopped trying. No matter how horribly life and the people in it have treated him, Jason never gives up on helping others. You know all that stuff I said about Bruce caring even when he has no reason to? Yeah, Jason is every bit Bruce’s son in that. But Jason is a redeemed character through and through, he was the Robin that died, the one that was made to believe that no one wanted him, was convinced that he was a failure and yet he came back, had a bit of an evil era, and then he was redeemed. He accepted his faults and the faults of those around him and he became determined to do better or die trying.

There’s some other points I’ve made before, but I don’t want to rehash so this is all I’ll say for now haha 🫡

WAIT I JUST HAD ANOTHER THOUGHT FOR THE DISASTER MEET THE INLAWS DINNER:

okay context: so in this AU, Danny and Dan are the only ones who don't know the batfam secret. Jazz figured it out when they first moved in next door to Jason. Damian told Elle after she trusted him with the truth about being a halfa. Elle didn't tell anyone else since it was a secret Damian trusted her with, while Jazz & Jason assumed that everyone else in the Nightingale family knew and never really brought it up.

It just completely sailed over Dan & Danny's heads. Even though part of the deal the family worked out with the Spirit of Gotham is to help protect her Bats and Birds (that's why Dan ended up in Bludhaven, to help keep Nightwing safe) and they regularly (secretly) follow the batfam around during patrols and fights to help make sure nothing bad happens to them.

Which brings us to the disaster dinner where, after things have almost calmed down from the chaos and embarrassment of Elle and Damian's power point & movie, everyone is actually almost getting along. Turns out, getting horribly roasted by the two gremlins helped break the ice a bit. It's kinda hard for the Bats to hold on to as much of the suspicion for the Nightingales as before when they just watched a supercut of everyone’s most embarrassing moments from the past five years with color commentary from the Chaos Duo.

Which is to say Danny is feeling comfortable enough - with some edging on by Elle - to reveal his conspiracy theory about who Batman is, to Bruce.

Just looks Bruce straight in the eye and with his whole heart and soul asks, "So, like you're for sure Batman's sugar daddy right?" -

i hope you know i read your writing like. LITERAL MONTHS AGO. and i still think abt it sm. you have forever fueled the fire of tim drake love in my heart and i thank you so much 4 that my god ur writing has changed me and i still think abt certain quotes from it. ty for sharing ur art bro

A pool of salt. Warm. World blurry. Not a Lazarus Pit. The author lies face down in a pool of their own tears, buoyed upwards by the kindness of a stranger.

Full disclosure, I read this at 2:30 am when I turned my phone on to grope my way to the bathroom and dismissed this message as a witching hour hallucination. I am honored it is not. Glad I'm eating microwaved can soup cause I'm gonna need all that sodium back.

#tim drake #batman fanfiction #sorry do you all understand you're helping me live my dream #it's so strange to think about that people I don't know and may never meet read something I wrote and enjoyed it #like I'm just a human at a Thai bar thinking about Rolls-Royces and dry bulk cargo #it's an honor to share my weird trivia knowledge with you in the form of batman fanfic

Also in the replies of the Steph concept art on twitter announcing she was gonna be in a new project at DC (posted by Travis Mercer), there were at least 3 comments saying "will Tim be there?" I don't care how hard you ship timsteph I'm exploding you with my eyeballs if you do that on my girls post again

#ramblings of a lunatic #taking a step back to acknowledge that my stanning may be getting overzealous #but then again I'm not in ppls quotes or replies I'm vagueing on an entirely different website with no relevant tags. it could be worse #anyway I know tims had it rough these past couple of months ever since zdarsky shifted focus of the batman title to have less tim #but it still feels. idk. just a wee bit uninspired to act like steph can't go two steps without tim being behind her #im ngl i like timsteph when they're cute but timsteph twitter has been. pissing me off a tad lately #the refusal to acknowledge the sexism in dixons robin run and how it impacts stephs writing and their relationships writing #the refusal to acknowledge tims occasional condescension and hypocrisy when it comes to stephs vigilantism #seemingly only wanting her to be spoiler when he wants her around and telling her to give it up most of the time #also the constant disrespect of stephs batgirl era on there weirdly enough?#I've harped on about this on main and in drafts but despite it's flaws it's a good turn for stephs character #she's the focus she gets development (an upward trajectory! which had previously been unheard of for her! bc she did have flaws as spoiler-#-its just that both writers and characters alike seemed to arbitrarily decide she didn't have the capacity to grow past them! but she did!)#hell i saw a BIZARRE take today i just have to bitch about #which was them saying that Batgirl was a ''heteronormative mask'' steph put on #with spoiler being her more authentic self (and this being paralleled to gender expression with stephs isolation from the batfam as spoiler-#-showing how she ''wasnt like them'')#which. I'm not denying you the view that spoiler has a certain genderific swag to her but the needless dragging of her batgirl persona #steph got treated badly as spoiler bc she was A Girl. it's genuinely that simple dixon felt batman and robin would never stand for a girl-#-running around doing the things they did and would need to chivalrously stop her. he's gone on record saying this #she's constantly getting belittled by mostly men (cass also dismisses her but it feels distinctly less gendered)#and in the end it's barbara who learns to give steph a second chance despite her mistakes and they have a positive relationship #something ppl are quick to dismiss as being in and of itself sexist bc they're pairing the two girls off together #as if batgirl isn't a legacy and as if babs and steph don't have parallels in their resilience and refusal to accept when ppl tell them no #for better and for worse!!#like. idk how you took the strongest feminist element in that comic (bc there are elements of sexism here and there! 2009 n all)#and somehow turn it into ''heteronormativity'' YOU PPL ARE JUST SAYING WORDS AT THIS POINT!!!#anyway. someone take away my internet access

favorite batfam au is Talia Al Ghul Wayne. Shrike. butcher bird. she becomes a cryptid but she is not a poor little meow meow unlike her husband and his furry friend burglar. batfam at peak functionality. Damian is soooooo unstoppable

#oopsies joker gets skewered for looking at her son the wrong way #batman may cry a river about the killing but all it takes is one stern look from his assassin wife to get him to agree #well yeah maybe that freak deserved it #dickiebird asks her for advice because she is so wise #villains in gotham are afraid of stickbug baby jason because they know if they hurt him they will never draw breath again #Talia is so flattered by Tim's paparazzi shtick #she finds the photography so interesting and asks him to tell her all about it #when he readily agrees (flustered vibrating with excitement) she gets suspicious that his parents haven't taught him proper stranger danger #it takes her a day to adopt him #“beloved you must sue our neighbors”#“what why”#“we want their son and they don't”#“I think you mean our son”#“oh beloved you know I can't contain myself when you speak that way~”#((I think I got a little out of hand there ahem))#cass just spawned and talia said “is anyone loving this child” and didn't wait for an answer #steph was an angy bb trying to fight her dad and talia slid into her dms like “hey sorry to hear about your dad being awful #in case you were in the market for a new father my husband is always looking for child vigilantes to fit under his cape"#steph said “lemme get back to you” and then became robin #talia was so pleased with herself #damian has so many legacies lol #he can't decide whether he wants to take up his father or mother's mantle #dick said please be batman so I don't have to #Talia scares the crap out of Duke and he's always super shy around her so she always tries to be not intimidating around him #She is the demon's dauther tho so her standard of “not intimidating” far exceeds the civilian threshold #although Duke's ahead by a margin since he has cult leader on his resume #she does her best to bond with him #“ahki observe the most efficient way to sharpen your hatchets”#“okay”#“richard may provide you further information on the maintenance of escrimas”

seeing/meeting people with huge well-adjusted and loving families literally makes my heart start hurting real bad

#like holy goddamn batman #for someone to tell me how their parents cried with joy to have all their many (8!!!) kids back under one roof for christmas #and say that the house feels alive again #and to hear that their mother never found it a burden to raise so many kids. and as soon as she had her first knew she was so happy to be #home to raise all of her kids #and to see the parents both still be goofy and friendly with each other while also being business partners(?) in a way i think?#as a family who is emotionally distant and has always been physically very very near to one other #wow i will literally not ever know what that's like #you may as well drop me on mars

wolf is definitely the catwoman to matt's batman

oooooooooooo this is such an interesting comparison. because there are a lot of similarities -- both batman and daredevil give out violent justice yet have a 'no killing' code. both catwoman and wolf are morally grey and often use sexuality to get what they want. i definitely see the similarities and cool comparison here.

yet their relationships with each other differ. it's enemies-to-lovers vs friends-to-lovers. catwoman is very much one of batman's villains (in the comics up until a certain point at least) while wolf agrees to follow matt's code of ethics because a part of her really wants to change and do better. because catwoman and batman are on opposite sides (again, most of the time in the comics), there's mistrust there. it isn't really the basis for a good relationship lol (i was never a big fan of batman/catwoman in the comics -- but i do like them a lot in the batman with battinson and zoe kravitz as catwoman). on the other hand, matt is the only person that wolf trusts. he's her childhood best friend, the closest thing she has to family, the only person she was close to before the red room changed her.

the batman/catwoman Vibe is still very much there tho

#devil may cry wolf #ive always been more of a batman/wonder woman kinda gal tbh #the batman's version of batcat brings The Vibes tho and i like it #never was a big fan of catwoman but zoe kravitz's version made me like her #kind of like how i never really liked mary jane watson but zendaya's version is the best and i love her #panda answers #i also dont know if catwoman is as violent as wolf #she can fight but she's a thief right? that's her thing #meanwhile wolf has loads of fighting experience and before she followed the no killing code she could be very very graphic with killing
