Nothing To See Here, Just The Average Divorced Couple

nothing to see here, just the average divorced couple

Just finished Girl In Pieces. Very good book, 10/10 read. So in celebration of finally finishing the book, this is my list of how the Batfamily felt after reading it and if they would or wouldn’t enjoy it (I’m probably wrong).

Alfred: Thinks it’s way too mature for younger audiences and didn’t enjoy it. Understood it but it wasn’t his cup of tea.

Bruce: Was always very open to any type of book and it might’ve not been his style but he liked how it gave him an insight to struggling teenagers.

Dick: Thinks it should be a movie, liked it but didn’t relate to it, saw it more as an awareness thing but definitely didn’t hate it.

Babs: Had a lot of questions in the end. Had the same reaction as Dick. Put it in the library and did a quick check of anyone who checked it out.

Jason: If he was Robin when he read it, it would’ve bummed him out because it was genuinely sad. He related to some bits since he lived in crime alley. If it was current Jason who read it, he’d be much more emotionally invested in the book (since he’s very dramatic as it is) and definitely went online, found every video saying Riley was a good person/said he was hot, and doxxed them. Made the code word for Slade ‘Riley’ for obvious reasons.

Tim: Sort of freaks out because he is also seventeen. Would’ve liked it better as a show or movie like Dick because it took him a while to read (ADHD Tim here btw) but didn’t hate it, took it just as Bruce did and helped Jason dox the Riley enjoyers (definitely strengthened their strained bond)

Steph: Definitely would like the book. She sees it as her mind being written out, wants it as a movie or show because it was enjoyable to her and thinks it should be one. Watched as Tim and Jason doxxed people and claimed she tried to stop them (definitely didn’t).

Cass: Didn’t really have an opinion, she liked that there was a happy ending and took it as a reminder that not all scars come from an outside battle. It also makes her keep a closer eye on everyone’s wellbeing.

Duke: Sees it as a sad book to read. Found it interesting and thought it also wouldn’t be a bad idea to turn it into a movie or show (helps everyone convince Bruce to make it happen somehow).

Damian: He didn’t like it (he’s lying and rereads it anytime he can.) He appreciated how Charlie had a thing for art and silence, and he takes it how Bruce would. It gives him a better understanding of the outside world and how truly cruel it can be. Might just recommend Talia read it.

You know those freaky ai fails on tiktok? Can you imagine the batkids trying to do something nice for Bruce for once and paid for an ai of his parents but it got extremely fucked up. Like so fucked up that they couldn’t stop giggling about it and at one point Bruce waddles back in the batcave to see everyone huddled around the computer.

He gets curious and silently looks over to see a terrifying video of his dead parents.

He definitely violently sobbed in his room for three days after that.

Plot twist: The real reason Bruce takes in every orphan on the street is because it gives him an excuse to skip patrol and watch the Gray Ghost for the 100th time.

Superbat be fucking normal about each other challenge: Failed.
