While I'm sure bad guys in Gotham have learned over time that the Bats don't kill, that even after bashing your teeth in they'll flag down an ambulance or dump you unceremoniously at the ER, it's still a shaky trust.

One that is easily shaken seeing a child wielding a sword in the dead of night; nobody wants to learn how that is handled nonlethally. Or bad guys just surrendering one late night after running into an alley and Nightwing's standing over their unconscious buddy, holding the gun he wrestled away. They watch Red Hood break into the place they're robbing with a crowbar in hand and just decide they'd rather not chance it. They see a shadow that could be Black Bat and-- you get it.

Incorrect Batfam Quotes

*Harley trying to cheer up Robin

Harley: Don’t worry, you’re going to be fine.

Harley: You come from a strong line of lunatics!

Damian: *thinking of his family history, from both sides

Damian: That is actually quite reassuring???

Benny has found himself in Somerset diving in and out of alleyways. The kids are back home with Artem, sorting through all the clothes they got for em.

Artem insisted that they would cover the costs but Benny isn’t a fool. He knows that trick! Get the street kids nice things, don’t tell them the cost then when rent is due there’s suddenly all these debts and charges. Then you get told that you’re going to work for them and suddenly you’re doing work that’s more dangerous than being a homeless pickpocket was.

That ain’t happening to Benny and his Siblings. He kept track of exactly how much money has been spent on them and when the first comes around he’s going to ensure that he can pay.

That’s why hes outside the alley, unless you want to pick a fellow thieves pockets there aren’t a whole lot of marks for him in the Alley itself after all. So he’s in a different alley, watching and waiting.

If supervillains could stop hijacking the billboards to make loud, city-wide announcements about their latest crimes, that would be great. Some of us work nights

I’m like 99% sure the Gotham Elite’s social customs are fucked up because Autism-in-Human-Form Bruce Wayne was just so fucking tired of high society’s weird and incomprehensible (and frankly ableist) social etiquette that he went full Virgin Mary About-to-Invent-a-Major-World-Religion, said “oh haven’t you heard?” and just started making his own random social rules. Like who’s going to stop him? The other elites? The dinosaur CEO’s? He’s richer. He hosts the better parties. He could tank your business in a weekend. So when he says “Weird passive aggressive fork language is out. Having a different utensil for every different food texture is in,” you use a different utensil for every food texture. Now when foreign elites visit Gotham, they have to learn a completely new set of social customs to fit in. It’s like a cult, but the cult is run by the most influential man in the world and Gotham’s personal Jesus. The followers are more likely than not mafia bosses named after a bird. You will be judged. There’s a test. Yes, you do get brownie points for being nice to the servers. For the love of god, stop making so much eye contact. The cloth napkins are folded into little ducks. Welcome to Gotham.

I think there should be more fics about Gothamites talking back to the bats - specifically Batman

“Get inside” “you’re not my dad”

“Stop trying to fight the joker, PLEASE” “fuck you, I do what I want”

“The streets aren’t safe tonight” “bro it’s Thursday, one of chillest days. Please shut the fuck up about telling me about gotham like I wasn’t born here thanks”

Batman sitting on the Batmobile: You need to watch your fighting stand Robin, when we get back–

Batman: You're not Robin.

Cosplayer very much terrified, who hadn't had the courage to tell who he was when a 6'0ft tall man dressed as a bat dragged him into the batmobile:

--

Tim in a Uber on his way to a comic con along with a bunch of other teenagers: I sense I made a mistake somehow.

Upon seeing quite a few posts recently warning us all of the true dangers of Condiment King (and why he's actually a problem), I'm very happy to report we at least still have Killer Moth, loser of Gotham's underworld to bash.

#No hate to the Condiment King posts I find them so fucking funny #only in Gotham #he's such a loser but he tries tries again #killer moth #mothman #I'm talking strictly the version of Killer Moth from Batgirl Year One and Robin Year One #that guy was amazing #batman #dc comics

Debate competition.

"But doesn't sex working exploit women?" A fellow student said. It was the last round and Christel had the student where she wanted him to be.

"But it is also a form of income is it not? It's not the job, it's the way it is handled. I say we should try to make laws that are against exploitation of women in this field instead of taking away prostitutes income" Christel explained.

The student yelled out "selling their body isn't a job! It's a sin!"

Christel smirked as the judge rang a bell. All she had to do was rail them up.

"That's enough, bringing religion is against the rules of the compilation. Gotham academy wins!"

Red Hood, after being kidnapped and stripped of his guns: Don't worry, I've got a few knives up my sleeve.

Random Gothamite, who was also kidnapped: I think you mean cards.

Batman, long suffering: They do not.

Red Hood, pulling out knives: I did not.

A Wild SuperGuy? (Social Media AU)

Part 44 (Masterlist)

(Part 45)

Istg I made this entire chapter in two hours. It's like I was smacked upside the head with the opposite of writer's block. (Also shoutout to the two people in part 43's notes that immediately predicted what this update would be about.)

@bruciemilf how’s it hangin’

Drink water, enjoy the weather, and have a great day :D
