#I don't know anything about the canon Owlman

[lovelysailboat]

How does one sue a vigilante for copyright infringement when your organization is supposed to be secret? This is inspired by a fun au @adriaticmidnight and I have where Thomas and Martha Wayne were invited to join the court of owls and they decide that they love their aesthetic and desire to make Gotham better so they steal it and become the vigilantes Owlman and Owlwoman.

It is still a baby au but these are the few headcanons that we've come up for it.

Thomas and Martha Wayne are dramatic as hell and have fully committed to the bit.

It is unclear if Martha and Thomas are actually part of the Court of Owls. They never gave them a clear yes or no they just showed up to the next meeting in their Owlman and Owlwoman suits.

No one know how or where they got their suits but they refuse to respond to anything other than Owlman and Owlwoman when they wear them.

They have taken notes on the architecture of the secret Court of Owls hideouts and modeled their Owlcave off of it.

Eventually they bring Bruce along and he goes by Owlet.

When the three of them are together in costume they introduce themselves as the Court of Owls which makes the original Court of Owls very angry.

The Court of Owls tried to get them killed but they are Owlman and Owlwoman now and they cannot be stopped.

They hear talk of the court taking in Dick Grayson and making him a talon. So the Waynes adopt him and he takes on the vigilante name Talon.

He is so cute #When he grows up would he keep the name Owlet? #So there is the little chipper Talon and the big looming Owlet #I have given the Cooler Court of Owls so much plot armor nothing bad can happen to them ever

Preliminary Poll

Metron

Submission reason:

Metron is the god of knowledge and technology. He is aloof and enigmatic, and ALWAYS seen with his greatest invention, the Mobius chair, which allows him to travel the astral winds of all time and space. BUT when DC rebooted everything after the infamous Flashpoint event, things changed. In Justice League: Darkseid War, writer Geoff Johns clearly decided Metron wasn't good enough. Instead, a villain from a decades-old event was renamed Mobius and was said to be the inventor. WHY? Was Metron's backstory and his treacherous dealings with Darkseid (one of DC's biggest bads) to get the element that powers his invention and the subsequent betrayal to the other New Gods not compelling enough for Johns? Did he think he could write a better backstory?? Well he didn't. But if we continue the story arc, we see Metron try to help the Justice League, who he has worked with amicably in pre-Flashpoint comics. Mr. Miracle who is also a New God is part of the League and does try to vouch for Metron a bit, but even still they decide the best course of action is to TIE HIM UP AND STEAL HIS CHAIR. WHAT?! Wonder Woman, I love you, but what is going on. Green Lantern remarks that Metron doesn't know anything, the chair has all the knowledge. Excuse me? No that is NOT how that works. So then Batman sits on the chair and gains ALL the knowledge. Batman does. Batman. Anyone familiar with DC Comics fandom knows we have an oversaturation of Batman, so yeah of course it's everyone's golden boy who sits on the chair. Anyway, more hijinks ensue and they basically leave Metron tied up and I guess left for dead? He frees himself, has a covert meet up with freaking Owlman (yes, Owlman from Watchmen) on the Moon for some reason. He's giving Owlman the Mobius chair (which btw he would not freaking do that), and then they both sense someone behind them... and get obliterated! Like actually dead! OFF SCREEN!! It just cuts back to two steaming piles of dust. WHAT EVENNNNNN. So, yeah I guess Geoff Johns said you know what? Eff this character. We're going to strip him of his invention and any backstory he had plus all his meaningful interactions with other characters. AND THEN KILL HIM OFF. And the worst part is, hardly any fans EVEN KNOW ABOUT HIM because writers love to remove him and overlook him, but still use all his stuff. Like, oh man I didn't even mention how much DC loooves using Boom Tubes. GUESS WHO THE INVENTOR WAS. YEAH. IT WAS METRON. Okay, I just. I'm done. I can't.

Propaganda:

Metron is basically made to be a tumblr sexyman. He's weird, arrogant, and probably the most intellectual of DC's characters. He was originally created by Jack ""The King"" Kirby back in 1971 and in pre-Flashpoint canon has been integral to several major events. He's morally gray, but sees the beauty in life and the universe. He likes to say he's an impartial observer, only valuing knowledge, but two seconds later there he is getting involved. He's wry and dramatic, and I just think he's neat.

I know this is kind of a weird question but what are your favorite rarepairs that don't make sense? And how do you deal with the lack of content lol? I ran across a couple recently on ao3 and there's no content for them besides the one fic and now I'm too invested in this pairing.

uhhhh fuckin Jason/Tiger for one, I know I mentioned this before and never really elaborated on it, but HOT DAMN DO I LOVE IT even though they’ve literally never spoken in canon

for that matter, anything with Tiger. I’m sooooo excited he’s gonna be appearing in an upcoming Batman story! more people need to appreciate this absolutely perfect character

I’m also a fan of DickHarley, one of the rare few who enjoyed their little tryst in the Batman & Harley Quinn animated movie. I know she’s a crazy murderer and he’s a good(-ish) boy, but man, I just love their chemistry there

Owlman stuff that isn’t just Owlman/Talon is sadly rare, but damn, I love me some Owlman/Power Ring. and Owlman/Jason. and Earth-3 jayroman where Jason is the evil one/dom and Roman is the hero/sub. hrhgrhghgh!!

I deal with the lack of content by either chatting about it with people on discord, or uhhhh... creating it myself lol. BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE or at least convince other people to fall in love with the rarepair and maybe THEY’LL do it for you, eheheheheh

anyway, good luck, and also please write fics for all of these pairings thanks
