Quick Headcanon That At Some Point, The Justice League Makes A Time-off Calendar For Every Time A Leaguer

Quick headcanon that at some point, the Justice League makes a time-off calendar for every time a leaguer is busy and needs someone to keep their city safe while they’re gone. Maybe they have a work trip or a family thing or even some vacation they planned.

All a hero has to do is request time off, and another member will sub in while they’re gone. The only problem is that it creates a pattern. It would be suspicious if Green Arrow is only replaced when Oliver Queen is on a business trip, right? So to keep the public on their toes, JL members are encouraged to take a random day off each month or so and switch out with no rhyme or reason. Just any random day, any random hour.

The outcome is complete chaos.

Clark Kent has the pleasure of interviewing Wonder Woman at the scene of a car chase she just stopped in Metropolis.

Some muggers in Star City are scooped up into a giant glowing cage while Green Lantern riddles off bird puns to an exasperated Black Canary.

A team of robbers hit a bank in Central City but get roasted by Plastic Man for their poor their safe-cracking skills as they’re taken into custody.

Black Manta uses his high tech weaponry to wreak havoc in the Atlantic only to be hit with a torpedo as the Bat-Sub dives towards him at full speed.

Cyborg is lecturing a group of teen vandals in Fawcett City when Captain Marvel just waltzes up, says, “I’m tapping back in,” and continues the lecture where he left off.

Complete. And. Utter. Chaos. No one knows who will show up at the scene now, not even the cops, but criminals are scared shitless.

The JL decides to keep the calendar. If only for entertainment.

Could be platonic or romantic but batman and plas for the bingo

Plas @ Batman is "this is my scary boss! my role model! we are work friends" and Batman @ Plas is like "this is an eldritch abomination from the Cartoon Dimension which I unleash from Pandora's box when things are dire" and both of them are right and both of them are wrong

Every other plashead on this website will kill me for saying this but I don't mind when Plas is a suck-up to Batman. It's in character! (And unlike real DCheads, I haven't evolved the mental defense system of beating Bats back with a stick whenever he begins absorbing another character's mythos into himself.)

Images tumblr doesn't want you to see

I'm still waiting for DC to remember Plas' husband 😔

Wait what do you mean i didn't post this one
