"Batmom"

The story of how the name Batmom came to be, and how it traveled.

It wasn't long after Dick started calling you 'mom' that he came up with the brilliant idea of since Bruce is Batman, you must be 'Batmom'!

He thought of it on patrol when Bruce was reminding him to only use codenames when Dick wanted to say something about you and wasn't supposed to say 'mom'.

He was very proud of himself and kept repeating 'Batmom, Batmom, Batmom' throughout the night so he wouldn't forget before they went home.

You always waited up to make sure both your boys got home safely and as soon as the Batmobile (also named by Dick) has parked your little boy had shot out of his seat toward you yelling "Batmom!!"

Bruce had a smile on his face because he knew you'd enjoy the new name and started putting their gear away while Dick told you all about their night and a rather long explanation about you being "Batmom".

After that "Batmom" just came naturally, Bruce and Dick referred to you as such on every patrol after, and sometimes at home. You adored it.

One night as you're getting into bed beside Bruce you elbow him lightly "Now that I have my own code-name I guess I'm a hero now too, huh?" it's playful and you expect a warm chuckle.

But instead Bruce wraps his arm around you, resting his head against the juncture of your neck.

"Of course, you saved me long ago."

I always picture Bruce and Batmom before bed with both their beside lamps on, Bruce in pastel silk buttoned two piece pajamas and sitting up on his side waiting for you to come to bed with him.

After Dick left Gotham Bruce still referred to you as 'Batmom' if he were to speak with you on coms during patrol, he didn't think much of it at first.

Until it hit him one night, you were 'Batmom' because Dick was talking to his mom, Bruce was talking about his mom, now he's working alone, if he's talking to you, just you on coms, there's not really a need for a code name is there.

He was quiet afterwards that night.

When he first takes Jason out on patrol, he instantly falls back into it.

Jason's a little stunned the first time he hears Batman (who really is much different than the kind and open Bruce-Dad at home) says in his deep, raspy tone "Batmom".

He instantly knew he was talking about you! And Jason loves it! He never knew you had a vigilante name too! And jumps right in on referring to you as 'Batmom' from there on out, a seamless switch.

Bruce realizes what he's done afterwards, too late for his own liking, but talking with Jason, a small Robin and calling you 'Batmom' as he always did with Dick, was just natural.

The first time he calls you 'Batmom' on coms again you pause for a few seconds and he can hear the smile in your reply.

After Jason's gone, Bruce is quiet during patrol. He doesn't speak much but he knows you're there, a comfort to you both. But when he does, he still calls you 'Batmom'.

Tim calls you 'Batmom' before he even goes on patrol, it surprises you a little, but you later find out it's because in every log or file in the Batcave that includes you in mention or footnote, Bruce has you as 'Batmom'.

You definitely tease Bruce about it later.

So Tim figured he should call you as such too, very professional. And not realizing it's more of a nickname your family gave you instead.

It's probably a year later he really realizes it's much more casual as he's sitting in a spinning chair in the cave whining "Batmoooom" to you.

Damian takes it as Fully serious.

He hasn't started seeing you as any kind of parental figure yet, but fully believes what Bruce says as law and as all your other children and Bruce call you 'Batmom' in costume, he does as well.

You feel a little fuzzy at first before realizing 'oh. he doesn't mean it like that'. When he completely turns back around after patrol.

It's Tim who finally breaks the news to him.

"You do realize we call her that because she's mom right? Not because she uses a secret identity."

Damian did not realize that, shows no expression beyond 'neutral resting anger' but his entire face goes red as he glares down at the streets.

The first time Cassandra called you 'Batmom' over the coms you were ready to cry.

She readily calls you Mom during the day when she does speak, but to hear her say Batmom? A relatively silly nickname your boys have called you for years? You heart.

She receives an extra kiss on the head after coming home and the others aren't sure why you seem so proud of her tonight?

And you don't tell Bruce when he asks why you seem so happy all the while before going to bed that night.

Honestly Duke raises his eyebrow a little the first time he hears everyone referring to you as 'Batmom'.

Sure you're their mom and it's not secret that every one of these boys is a total Mama's Boy, but these are also very professional crime fighting vigilantes that fight aliens and psycho-clowns.

Walking around saying 'Batmom'. He almost thinks it's a joke to see what he'd do?

But they don't let up on it and have really good poker faces so he finally tries asking Dick (as if he wouldn't be worse if it was a joke..)

"Hey so like...if I were to say something to Mrs. Wayne during patrol, and we're not supposed to say actual names, what should I say?"

"Oh, Batmom!"

"No I mean seriously, what do I say?"

"We call her Batmom :)"

"Dude."

Dick looks too confused for this to be a joke.

These people are really weird.

Says 'Batmom' the next night.

It's daresay even more fun when other heroes join in on your nickname.

Dick was actually rather good at keeping it a secret from the Titans, he was never embarrassed saying it back in Gotham when he teamed up with the bats again.

But this is his team, he's cool, he's the leader, the seasoned hero, he worked with Batman, yes he calls you Mom and everyone hears him talk about you a lot- but Batmom?

Great joy was had when Jason had linked his coms to the Batcave and said 'Batmom' to you without thinking.

Roy is bent over laughing "Batmom?? BATMOM?"

somehow Jason's helmet gave him an even more deadpan stare. "Are you finished?"

"Not until I get to thank Batmom for letting me hear you say 'Batmom'."

Tim never hid it or made a big deal about it, Bart and Conner joining in on 'Batmom' as easily as any vigilante name.

Jon hears Damian call you 'Batmom' once in a conversation and takes it in stride.

Soon your inside affectionate nickname has spread like wildfire and in the same light as Batman, a hero's alter-ego and every crime fighter and their sidekick says so without batting an eye. (well, maybe a teasing wink.)
