I imagine alfred combed all the robins' hair in the middle section since they were kids (and they're still doing it) only damian's the only one who's been able to escape this fate

Ok but the idea of the Waynes going broke was always so ridiculous to me because:

1- You can take wealth away, you can’t take connections. It would be incredibly hard to break a old money, high society aristocratic millionaire. They always have a trust fund, fans and investors.

2- In case they somehow went broke, there’s no way Damian ‘this manor is a huge downgrade to me’ Wayne is surviving or not unleashing a catastrophic event upon Gotham. That boy needs a king sized bed and silk sheets to survive.

3- TALIA AL GHUL is Bruce’s baby momma and he is her BITCH. In case he went broke, here’s how i imagine the interaction would go:

Talia: Hey, so how is it going darling?

Bruce: You know, tough times. I’ve got limited funds, business isn’t going well…..

Talia: There it is, Babygirl ;). Treat yourself to something nice. Don’t forget to send me pics of the clothes you buy 😘 n Dami too

one night in Gotham, there’s some sort of disruption, strange magic, or curse. all of the Batkids go down and come back up with powers that reflect their vigilante personas in some way. Dick can fly, Jason has super strength, Tim can read minds nearby, etc. they freak out, try out the powers a little, and decide to return home early from patrol because Bruce is gonna be pissed, right? he’s going to want to figure this out and study it. Duke is laughing his ass off all the way home (he got called for backup while they were processing) and enjoying a boost to his own powers.

they get home and Bruce isn’t in the Cave. he’s not in the Manor, and Alfred doesn’t know where he went. Duke gets a hit on the distant grounds, out by the lake. It’s Bruce, but not Bruce. whatever strange kickback of magic/power that gave them their new abilities is nothing compared to this.

Gotham has possessed Bruce, in every single way possible. he’s perched on a cliff overlooking Gotham, dressed only in sweatpants, uncaring of the cold. his eyes are sunken pits into Gotham’s foundations. his teeth are the gleam of bone. he is so beautiful and so terrible, all at once.

their new abilities, these powers, are a boon. they’ll take back Gotham from the night, as he foot soldiers. but they will never have Bruce — Bruce — ever again. that is the price.

Your honor, I see no lies here.

Thinking about cigarette mom! Thomas and how his parenting style was…Different from Bruce’s. For exemple:

“Jason, I can understand why you’d feel tempted to shoot Mr. Smith with your slingshot. Misinterpreting Hamlet is indeed pretty serious. But it’s not a good tactic to solve conflict.”

-

“Mr. Johnson says he won’t pass you if you don’t dissect that dumbass frog? What the hell. Grab my Marlboros and a hammer.”

-

“Dick, honey, I know sometimes talking can get overwhelming, but you can’t just ran away Everytime we have a disagreement. Let’s talk about this, please . ”

-

“Oh, you wanna run away! Alfie! Martha! The boss is running away from home! Should we tell the president? Should we tell Santa Claus? Go ahead. I’ll pack your bags for you. “

-

“Damian, if we don’t keep our spaces clean, we’ll start to feel really bad, and Batcow will be very sad.”

-

“Why do you have to clean? Cause it’s your damn house too, doctor genius. What do you think this is, a hotel? Grab a rag and shut up.”

-

“I can’t promise I’ll always know what to do, or say if you have a problem. But I can promise we’ll solve it together.”

-

“Only three people in this world need to know what’s going on with you at all times, — your doctor, God, and me, and you better call me first.”

-

“I love you.”

-

“I fucking love you. Now shut up, the price is right is on.”

Headcanon that when Superman is daydreaming he starts to float.

The Justice League is having a meeting and Clark is thinking about cinnamon rolls and he just starts slowly floating away like an untethered balloon. Someone has to grab his foot and pull him back down.

Just imagine a JL and YJ team up where no one knows the connection between nightwing and Batman

And Batman gets seriously hurt, everyone is shocked and scared but no one expects nightwing to go

Either 1. Catatonic or 2. Into a cold and precise fury standing protectively over batman

Yeah!! Agh, the outside pov of Nightwing sprinting over to Batman and somehow knowing how to unlock the complex series of clasps and switches on his armor in perfect sequence. He doesn’t get shocked, he pries open that chest plate like he’s been doing it his entire life. He opens Batman’s belt and pulls out bandages without needing to guess which compartment had first aid supplies. He grabs Batman’s wrist comm and knows how to use the gauntlet buttons to call for an evac. He orders Superman around like he’s taken on Batman’s authority in the interim (he has) and Superman listens without question. He is Batman’s second in command, and no one in YJ can fully process that revelation before they’re evac’d back to Gotham.

Alfred, entering the Cave with a tray of pills: are you certain you won’t need pain relief tonight, sir?

Bruce, swathed in bandages and in the middle of a handstand: Ra’s taught me how to meditate the pain away, Alfred. I just need to keep moving, and I can bear it.

Alfred: certainly, sir. in other, entirely unrelated news, Master Richard has declined to take his pain medication either—

Bruce, nearly falling out of his handstand: you bring those back to him RIGHT NOW and tell him he’s not allowed on patrol tomorrow if he doesn’t take them. non-negotiable. do you understand?

here is a painted doodle thing I did for a request– injured Bruce and protective Dickie in the middle of a snowstorm. Dick’s wearing Batman’s cape to cover them both *c*

I vaguely remember something similar happening in canon once lol

I keep thinking about how Bruce and Alfred were more like servant and master pre-batman training

It's so damaging for a child to grow up without a parents' love, especially when it was so violently taken away

Kids usually attach themselves to the closest parental-shape person they see and the fact that Bruce wasn't able to do that because of social pressure makes me so >:(

I can just imagine Bruce waking up from a nightmare and going to Alfred, he gives words of comfort, a warm glass of milk and takes Bruce back to bed with a lamp turned on and leaves

But Bruce doesn't want that, he wants to be able to go in Alfred's bed and curl up beside him, hear his heartbeat, have fingers go through his hair, and go back to sleep

But he can't do that because it would be too inappropriate even if Alfred knew him the day he was born

(Pennywayne would make this hurt more, that's his son!!! But he can't do anything about it)

oh 🥺 this hurt me

Your headcanon about Bruce killing previously is parallel to one of mine where someone watches him like casually dismantle a dead body -for whatever reason- and are horrified by how casual he is about it and he’s like, the reason I don’t kill isn’t cause I can’t handle it it’s cause I’d be realllllyyy good at it

Bonus points if that horrified person is Clark, who has to watch Bruce break down a body piece by piece (for case reasons).

Clark: wait…why do you know how to do this?

Bruce, shrugging, blood streaked across his face: after a while it just becomes routine

Clark: after a WHILE?

Are YOU keeping your chicks warm through the winter? Why we should take notes from Bats on childcare

Funniest possible stance for Brucie Wayne to publically take is a firmly-rooted belief that Batman doesn't exist.

"I've never once been rescued by this so-called hero and I've been kidnapped 14 times already this year."

"Why would the police summon him with a giant lantern? Wouldn't that make more sense for Mothman?"

"I know what you can do with Photoshop, these doctored pictures can't fool me! Tim's a whiz with photos, have you seen his latest exhibit..?"

"Vigilantism is illegal, you can't do that."

I finally got caught up with the new nightwing

but in all seriousness, I’m chewing on the headcanon that Bruce killed a lot with Ra’s and the League of Assassins before forming his own no-killing code. and the batkids always think he’s never killed anyone and doesn’t have the stomach for it, but the opposite is true. he had the stomach for it and he was good at killing people. and if he didn’t have his code, his rules, he would simply never stop killing bad people who deserve it.

I’m imagining some sort of visit from Ra’s or Talia where they tease/allude to this right in front of the batkids and everyone just goes quiet. because Bruce? killing people? but there was always a reason he was going to be heir to Ra’s. they wouldn’t have chosen him if he didn’t have that kind of potential.

Bruce: who are you? A new crime lord?

Jason: *takes off his helmet*

Bruce: *squints suspiciously* a new crime lord who looks like a grown up version of my dead son?

Jason: *sighs in annoyance and forces a bright smile*

Bruce: JASON THE NEW CRIME LORD???

Batsitting is a full time job

“Bruce Wayne goes prematurely grey at 39; What does Gotham’s Prince have to be stressed about?”

There’s so much identity porn potential in that question. Unless Bruce starts dyeing his hair, it’s a fair question — why did he go grey so young? Thomas didn’t. He’s a billionaire, so what could honestly be so stressful?

(To be extra cruel, maybe he goes grey when Jason dies but the death isn’t announced to the press until a few months later, just to get the story in place)
