If your sibling is a rogue then make the best of it
I would like to think that Jason is very Hondo Onakha about kidnapping, very dramatic, fairly polite/chill to the one he kidnapped, minimal trauma, very professional overall but also very theatrical. Out of anyone in Gotham to have as your kidnapper, Jason aka the Red Hood is by far the very best person.
ALL of Jason's family whether they be legal, biological, emotional, or honorary, will absolutely try to convince Jason to kidnap them to get them out of some stupid civilian event. Whether or not Jason will go along with it will depend on several factors such as:
Does this benefit Bruce and get him out of a boring civilian event too? Then so sorry, you're just going to have to suffer!
How busy is Jason at the moment? Because being a drug lord and vigilante is actually pretty time consuming and kidnapping can be a lot of work for potentially very little gain.
What does Jason get out of it? Yes money is all well and good but Jason is rich by his own merits and can just steal from Bruce whenever, there's got to be more to it!
When is the last time Jason has kidnapped this sibling? He can't do it too often or it gets less effective. He has a reputation to maintain after all!
It may also depend on which sib is asking and what they need to be "saved" from.
Dick asks to be kidnapped from a bachelor auction charity? Ha! No chance, sorry Dickie! He will be there though and take pictures and laugh. (And also join all the other siblings who are stalking Dick and the winner of the auction in the event the winner wasn't one of the Bats or an invited member of the JL or Titans using Bruce's money) Dick asking to be kidnapped from a gala or some opening night of trendy place he's at to maintain civilian status? Maybe but the bribe has to be considerable. And it cannot benefit Bruce. Dick's normal bribes consist of taking some tedious part of an investigation over for Jason or getting intel from JL databases for Jason and the Outlaws.
Cass? Anytime and always, favorite sister who can beat him up has special kidnapping privileges, though they did stop for a very long time when some weirdos put out the theory that the Red Hood was in love with Gotham's Princess. (idk if Cass is considered Gotham's Princess in any version of canon but she is to me) Cass does still repay Jason in the form of Black Bat keeping an eye on Jason's territory when he's out of Gotham for any significant length of time.
Tim? He does owe the kid for several incidents and Tim normally doesn't abusive the privilege so he'd probably do it but there does have to be some sort of bribe for appearances sake. Tim usually gets Jason to agree in exchange for pictures of Batman tripping over his cape or in some other ridiculous position. Bonus in Jason's mind if Tim requests a kidnapping when Bruce is off world or otherwise occupied, therefore giving Brucie Wayne's reputation a hit. However if Tim wants to be kidnapped from something where Bruce is also suffering as Brucie, Tim is SOL (Tim might get revenge by getting Kon to wear Red Hood gear and "kidnap" Tim from the event if Jason refused. Kon will do it because Tim asked and also I would like to think that Kon isn't too fond of the guy who beat his best friend/boyfriend nearly to death and will mess with him if given the chance) Since kidnapping normally interferes with things that Tim wants to do however, he may instead bribe Jason to not kidnap a sibling that has asked to be kidnapped. Jason usually obliges this no kidnapping request.
Barbara? Sorry, no, he doesn't want to stress the Commissioner like that. He will, however, kidnap other people for her if she asks.
Stephanie? No Stephanie, he doesn't care what you offer, he's not kidnapping you so you can avoid your finals! Stephanie has, however, worn various wigs and been various hostages who died at the hands of the Hood in order to maintain his reputation. She gets paid in baked goods for her service.
Damian? Damian considered the idea ridiculous and proclaimed he'd never stoop so low and he would carry out his duties no matter how onerous! Damian then had to go to a Gotham gala. Damian is trying very hard to figure out a suitable bribe to get the Red Hood to kidnap him often enough that Bruce will be forced to keep Damian away from galas because of the ongoing security threat. So far it hasn't worked because Damian is very bad at bribing Jason, Jason thinks Damian forced to interact with normal people is funny, and Tim is successfully bribing Jason to ignore Damian's bribery attempts. The Red Hood has "kidnapped" Damian once, as a treat, when he thought the kid was looking particularly down about something.
Duke? Duke has yet to be made to attend any society gatherings as the solo Wayne (normally that falls to Bruce, Dick, or Tim) and can usually be spotted hanging out with Cass by the snack table at any gala or trendy event. He's not at Cass's level of reading body language but he's pretty darn good and he and Cass have reached a new level of being able to avoid annoying rich people while at parties. Duke is Cass's favorite gala buddy. Duke hasn't felt the need to ask Jason to kidnap him yet but Jason will allow the first one to be free of charge, no questions asked. After that Duke hasn't figured out suitable bribes for Jason but has realized that all of his siblings are hyper competitive and that Jason would absolutely wager a kidnapping in a competition or for a bet.
Alfred? If Alfred asked then Jason would without any caveat. Alfred will not ask however but might ask on behalf of someone else and Jason will comply.
Bruce? Jason just laughs. And if someone else is planning on kidnapping Brucie Wayne from a particularly boring business meeting or gala? Jason will actively thwart the kidnapping to force Bruce to continue to deal with social activity.
Jason usually splits a portion of the ransom money into bonuses for his goons since their original job outline is drug dealer/enforcer/mobster and not kidnapper. If they're going to get major felonies on their records, better make it financially worth it. All of Jason's goons are masked during any kidnapping event. The rest of the ransom money goes towards a charity of Jason's choosing.
Jason has also kidnapped people who are not his family or family adjacent. Barbara thought her dad could use a vacation at one point but he didn't have the PTO for it so Barbara had the Red Hood kidnap him. James Gordon experienced the weirdest kidnapping of his life that included some of the best food he'd ever eaten, an extremely soft bed, his pile of books that were on his reading list, and access to the sports games he'd meant to watch. The ransom was successfully paid after he had a week to relax. Gordon was then, as per protocol, allowed time to relax after his "harrowing" event. Barbara forced him to take the time. Strangely enough, some politicians who had been giving the Commissioner a hard time were suddenly very quiet when James Gordon came back, well rested, well fed, and ready to get back to the grind. It, of course, had nothing to do with the very polite emails with pictures attached that they all received while the Commissioner was very publicly out of the way.
Oliver Queen, when he was visiting Gotham, was kidnapped by the Red Hood. He was released after the ransom was paid and specifically he was released back in Star City. Mr. Queen was unavailable for comment after the incident but some sources say that he was cursing bats for some reason.
Lois Lane found herself kidnapped by Red Hood and ransomed by the Daily Planet while Superman was off world. Lois Lane returned safely to Metropolis and published a shocking expose on Luthor's latest scheme. Her sources for the article remain a secret.
Bruce is very grumpy about the whole thing, not just because Jason won't help his poor father get out of the stupid social event, but also because Jason being technically a rogue like this makes it very hard for him to successfully argue that Jason should let himself regain legal living status.
So Batman first came out in 1939 in The Detective Comics (DC). Jim Gordon has been working with him just as long. Robin was introduced the following year.
Gotham exists within a weird time dilation due to the Clock King. It explains the meshing of different decades and their technologies throughout Gotham. It explains the weird time skips.
The reason people don't really go to Gotham is the overwhelming feeling of wrongness. (Gothamites have a hard time leaving for the same reason, trying to correct the time differences makes most of them feel ill). Batman's no-metas-in-Gotham rule isn't due to his hatred of metas (his best friend is a meta and so is one of his kids), it's because he had no idea if their powers will try to correct the time dilation (that would cause a doozy of issues in infrastructure and frankly more issues than it's worth)
Batman has been Batman-ing since 1939 but due to time shenanigans he is still about the same age.
Barbara, trying to tell her dad that she's Batgirl: I took on a . . . job recently and-
Jim, who totally thinks she's a drug dealer but wants to be a Supportive Dad™: You can't tell me more but know I love you!
Barbara, happy that her dad approves of Batgirl, and Jim, happy his daughter trusts him: ^_^
One of them time traveling situations where all the bat boys (Bruce, Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian) become 12 .
The Justice League knows that explaining stuff to the Robins will be easy but they're nervous about Bruce's reaction.
Clark: -and that's what's happening. Any questions?
12 year old Bruce: Yes! It works!
Everyone, including his Robins, are confused as Bruce explains that he has been going out in home-made tact gear for the last two years and just fucking shit up. He regularly beats up grown men by just dropping onto their heads, he hangs out with Detective Gordon to solve murders (and get free juice boxes), and he randomly plants money to help Gotham's poor.
Bruce is just excited to know that he's become even COOLER in the future and now he has a family ^_^
(Everyone else is now understanding why he didn't think it was weird to have Robin side kicks.)
When Batman is a good little cryptid and solves a murder, he gets a pat on the head and a cookie from Commissioner Gordon 😌
tim: sweet dog you got there. gordon: yes, this is our new drug-sniffing dog. tim: still training huh? gordon: red robin.. what do you mean? tim: ... tim: nevermind...
my favourite genre of batman art is where everyone is detailed and then theres batman-
For those of you who I don’t talk to on the daily... We got these bad boys Sunday. Another Ozzie for my collection along with this Jim and Batsy one I also grabbed. Plus my little brother got Harv and insisted that he had to be in the center of the room because he’s his favorite!
The penguin army continues 🌂
New Gotham SWAT Commander Danny
After the Joker once again took the Gotham Gala hostage, the people in the Gala were surprised, as for once the police were able to do anything about it. As the SWAT came in and shot Joker and his goons down.
And saved the Hostage? Bruce Wayne's daughter Cassandra. Not normal.
All were confused; normally, the cops just wait for Batman or fail.
It turns out Gotham had a new SWAT commander who took the shots on the Joker.

Danny was pissed but happy too; he just worked here because his mother's brother, Uncle James, works here too.
Then Dad sent him here to learn about police work and see different kinds of things, not just Amity Park. Just defusing Bombs seem to get boring for Danny.
And the first thing he did at his job was kill a clown gang?
Well worth it.
I have no idea why people look so surprised; it's just a clown with a gun, not Superman.
A gun does the job.
And Cass was here too, the last time he saw her was as she teached Ellie ballet.
As Danny was new, he had no real idea about the crime world of Gotham.
When the Gordons visit, they don't talk about Gotham, and the people in Amity Park never cared about the outside world.
They have their Fenton shield as a defense against alien invasions or similar.
Danny meet the cute Cass as she teached Ellie Ballet, who was the Joker took hostage.
Danny shooting Joker had nothing to do with Cass. He saw it later it was Cass after they were done.
Danny was professional and not lead by emotion. A new clean cop in Gotham.
So I started reading Batman Volume 10: Knightmares and I just want to bring up the fact that Bruce has been traumatized about the fact that no one around him is safe. And the way he brought up Dick getting shot in the head, broke my heart because it shows that he cares.
He's doing his best to be a good father but he's losing himself. And when he said that his children were not safe, that made my eyes go Niagara Falls.
(Also if you can't see it properly, I suggest clicking on the photo, it shows more clearly that way)
9 cause it's my favorite number
9- Star Sapphire!Bruce tying up criminals and leaving a note for the cops that just has a pink heart on it
"Who the hell does this guy think he is?!" Gordon sighed, walking past the group of police cadets gathered around the small TV in the break room of GCPD.
Recently some lantern, not a green one apparently, had stopped by Gotham. Sightings of this "Pink Lantern" led the police to know 3 things;
1) They appeared to be male
2) They seemed to come out of nowhere, jumping out of the shadows (which is weird because of how bright the pink is)
3) They seem to have a connection and/or friendship with Batwoman
Of course, since crime never rests (except on Wednesdays and the 16th of every month, according to Harley), they got a call from the chemical plant just as Gordon sat down at his desk. This time it was only Riddler and Scarecrow, and while they can be dangerous, Jim had a feeling it wouldn't get too bad.
Arriving at the plant, James Gordon made a note to add a dollar to the "I'm right, again" jar when he got home. There, surrounded by vats of acids, were the two supervillains they were looking for.
Walking over, he mentally approved of the handiwork dine with the rope that tied the two up. Just as he was about to turn away, something caught Jim's eyes. A small note card, folded in half so it stood upright, with a bright pink heart drawn on it.
Gordon put this note in his desk drawer for safe keeping, adding 27 and counting as time goes on.
{~Back in the cave under Wayne Mansion~}
"So....do you draw the heart when you get there?...Or is there a couple tucked in your boot?" Kate asked her cousin as she took off her cowl. Bruce allowed the ring to get rid of his costume, shaking his head,
"I keep a drawer full of them in here. I think I need to restock soon too."
I do love these deep, emotional connections between characters on the dark side and on the light side. I love the idea that after an epic battle, even if they were on opposite sides of the fight, they’d still take care of each other.
Nygmobblepot is my Gotham OTP, but Gobblepot is a definite BrOTP for me (along with Foxma). Hero/villain friendships--or nemesisships--are the best.
“still fighting, James?”
“…always”

I can imagine an AU in which there is a crossover between Gotham and Chainsaw Man, in which almost all the members of the GCPD have various contracts with demons that help them fight the city's criminals. Oswald, being the bearer of the Bomb Devil, would plot a coup against Fish and kill her in the process, while Jim, having the contract with the Justice Devil, would use his strength to minimize the damage caused by the king of the criminal underworld.
Speaking of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, I'd put in a few from the Legion of Horribles:
●Jerome - Famine Devil
●Jeremiah - War Devil
●Jervis - Control Devil (obvious)
●Jonathan - Death Devil
Just imagine Jervis seducing Jonathan after looking into his eyes 👀...
Behind every great Detective, there’s an even greater Superhero!
So I recently got into Batman so here are some Gordon’s (most are redrawn from Batman: Year One. I just really liked the way David Mazzucchelli drew him in this)
