I don't really like a lot of the early-batman interpretations, bc a lot of the time he's slow and can't fight, and also just doesn't really do any detective work? He's never really all that smart.
Instead I think an early Batman would have two mains faults with his fighting and thinking. When it comes to fighting, he's trained for the last however many years in all sorts of martial arts and has trained his body to withstand all sorts of stuff. but he has no battle experience. Most the goons in Gotham don't even know the first thing abt marital arts anyways, so they just throw the most random, out of pocket attacks and Bruce has no idea how to counter or how to prepare for it, so he just takes it head-on. As for his thinking, Bruce is really smart and has been since he was young. But he's also has a very specific and logical thinking pattern, and expects other smart people to think like him. So like Riddler would set up all these bombs across Gotham and Bruce would be trying to deduce their location, figuring he'd be attacking all the weak or crowded points, when instead Riddler just sets them up in a random part of Gotham in the shape of a question mark and it takes Bruce forever to figure it out because there's no logical reason he'd do that. That's also why he has such trouble dealing with Joker, bc the dude is crazy and nothing he does is logical or reasonable and Bruce struggles to think like him and therefore struggles to deal with him.
idk the biggest thing I hate about most interpretations of early Batman is simply that they just make him a clumsy, brooding character (looking at you, Batman 2022) when he canonically has gone through years of training, both in fighting and detective work, and has been smart since he was a kid! Brooding is like on-point though, soooo
Talia may have been an awful mother, but by the gods did she save Damian from younger Bruce. Like he in most cases was born before Jason's death, or at least around then, so can you imagine grieving Bruce, who at that point believed himself to be more Batman than Bruce, trying to take care of a kid? Tim already was essentially babysitting him at that point in time trying to keep the guy from killing himself, not to mention the whole slew of emotional problems he had that worsened by tenfold when Jason died. Like tbh Damian probably would've ended up even more traumatized if Bruce raised him then Talia 😭
SuperBat Civillian AU where Bruce is an Actor and Clark is a bodyguard who was first assigned to Bruce by happenstance- a crazy, screaming fangirl comes running up to Bruce chanting his name and Clark very politely stops her like the brick wall he is, scolding her for acting so rudely, and spins her around and sends her off, and Bruce just thinks “damn, that’s really hot.” And continues to request Clark in the future.
Que Bruce aggressively flirting in a way which no one would ever actually figure is flirting bc emotional repression and in this AU he’d never needed to pretend to be a playboy, so Clark just thinks he’s being friendly and enjoys working for him. Meanwhile Bruce gets more and more aggravated and whines to Dick abt how Clark is extremely oblivious despite all of his suggestive comments and Dick asks what he’s saying that Clark isn’t getting and he just goes
“I told him I liked his hair” and Dick let’s our a single laugh and walks away.
SuperBat fanfic where Comic Superman and Batman are thrown into the Snyderverse and meet the JL there. Snyder Supes takes it all in… how should I summarize? Perhaps this tells enough. I’ve taken my trazodone and cannot think straight.
After reading, tell me if I should do one from Snyder Batman’s POV…
Desperately need a fic from a police officer’s pov and they watch SuperBat interactions bc like all the cops either hate or love Bats, but are still kinda terrified of him, but ofc Supes is all sunshine and smiles and “He’s my best friend y’all!” And they KNOW bats probably totally has kryptonite and an attitude worse than the devil.
So they end up in a situation where they’re working together and Batman in taking with the police and Superman’s standing behind him waving and smiling at everyone while Batman is giving single-word or just huffs for answers. And then Superman freezes and cocks his head and to everyone’s surprise grabs Batman by the shoulder and whispers something in his ear and then what’s more surprising is Batman doesn’t even mind as he wraps his own arm around Supes and then they’re gone in a blur of blue and Black. All the cops are just left standing there like 🧍♂️shocked bc Bats didn’t mind Supes touching him.
Or another instance where it’s after this big battle in Gotham and it’s with whatever villain but Superman is there too and the villain had kryptonite. Anyways so after the battle Bats is talking to the police and handing over the villain and Superman comes over after talking to the civilians, picks Bats up by the scruff mid sentence politely nods to the officers he was talking too, and moves him a couple feet away and just starts yelling at Bats abt how stupid it is for him to run around jumping in the way of heavy blows EVEN if they have kryptonite and Bats just scoffs and turns his head away and all the police on the area watch as Superman and Batman argue about how stupid it is to risk your life to save the other (they both did it) completely oblivious to their audience and the police whose POV it’s in just thinks “god they sound like a married couple. Wouldn’t it be crazy if the two of the worlds greatest hero’s were actually a couple lmao. But that’s crazy they’re just really good friends”
Gordon watched all this trying not to blow his fuse bc yes, Batman does need to be yelled at, and yes, he does need to prioritize his safety more, but NO, you don’t need to be having your lovers quarrel in front of the whole damn GCPD.
Or in another instance Batman racks up a bunch of charges on him for whatever reason and the GCPD by luck manages to arrest him and so here comes Superman trying to bail his partner(in more ways than one) out of prison and the police are like “we’re really sorry Mr. Superman sir but we can’t legally do that” and Supes goes “what the hell did he even do” and so the officer goes “Property Damage, unlawful violence, arson, punched a cop in the face and broke his nose, caught carrying weed which is illegal in the state of New Jersey, multiple -and I mean multiple- unpaid speeding tickets. Oh, and the DMV wanted us to talk to him about his unregistered Batmobile and Batbike.”and Supes is about to cry as he quietly asks “Okay, so how much is bail” And the officer looks away and mumbled “sixteen grand” and Supes gasps and cries out “I don’t get paid enough for sixteen grand!!”
However thirty minutes later Supes is back at the GCPD station shakily counting out bills bc he can’t use a check or card (obvi) sweating heavily and looking extremely pained. The cops don’t even ask where he got all those bills so quickly and just watch him and another 30minutes later Bats is out and Supes is shaking him by his shoulder shouting “so who’s gonna lag me back!! Who’s gonna reimburse me for for 16k?? Whose gonna apologize for the heart palpitations you gave me?? Whose gonna apologize for all the gray hairs this is going to give me?? You’re giving me gray hairs all the time B!! I can’t do this!!” And Batman just sighs and pats Superman on the back as they walk out of the station and Superman is mumbling about bank credit and loans and how bad he looks with wrinkle lines and gray hair sounding like he’s about to cry.
Meanwhile the police try not to loose their minds throughout this whole interaction and Gordon’s just staring at the door blankly smoking a cigar and the police whose POV it’s in looks at the cigar a little bit closer and goes “That smells like weed” and Gordon looks at her and just says “I feel for Superman a bit more than I want to”
It's the little smiles and the hand on Bruce's shoulder, it's the fact that there's a planetary invasion going on but Bruce chooses to be with Clark instead of participating in the fight.
"I can protect your family and the planet at the same time"
Batman and superman being gay in worlds finest?? Ofc don’t worry
This is very minor but I just love how much he relies on Superman and how close they are
it’s cute :)
When you can predict exactly what your boyfriends about to do (no fr why do they know each other so well 😭😭😭)
Batman comforting superman after Thunderboy (sorry, I mean his son) goes missing. He immediately gets on the case and is like “Clark don’t worry I’m the worlds greatest detective”
The “We’ll find David, Clark” is so domestic
More Batman knowing the ins and outs of superman and understanding exactly how he feels? LGBTQ
This is the definition of two men looking at each other like 😍😍
Clark’s happy little love sick smile at the sight of Bruce is sO CUTE
