Saturday's at Wayne Manor are family days. The whole weekend is reserved for the family to come and go as they please, but the biggest events are the Game Days on Saturday from 11:00 to 16:00 and Sunday Dinner at 18:00.
Every Saturday is a Game Day, but the third Saturday of each month is Competition Day. The kids all choose their favorite games, and everyone competes against each other. It's very rarely missed by anyone, but there have been times when someone has had to tap out for one reason or another. Alfred keeps track of who's missed how many days. Barbra keeps the tally of who's won what and how many times. At the end of the year, on December 31st, the scores are announced.
Sunday Dinners are sacred. No one ever misses a Sunday Dinner. The last person who did Jason is still getting subtle jabs and looks from everyone and that was a year ago and he had a very good reason, thank you very much! Everyone is always present for Sunday Dinner because everyone still has a room and the option to stay the night between the two days. Most usually take up the offer, but there have been extenuating circumstances that have pulled someone from the Manor.
No matter any of that because everyone is here and everyone is staying the night. That means everyone is patrolling Gotham tonight. Almost everyone. Batwoman has offered to take over Bludhaven for the night, so that's where she's gone.
Bruce plans to present his idea of messing with his coworkers when everyone gets back to the cave after patrol. All his kids know who they all are, having been trained by him, so there's no risk or accidental reveals on his part. In actuality, the kids thought of it like a game. They even had a folder for it on the Bat Computer and everything!
Yes, that night, after everyone returned to the Bat Cave, he would gather his Chaos Gremlins and invite them to mess with the Justice League with him. He'd also try and get Alfred in on it. Family bonding, and all that.
Though, making his kids sweat was its own form of amusement for him. It was 3:00 when everyone finally returned. They all ran their own routes, watched over by Oracle, and their own times, but everyone was always done no later than 3:00. It was a rule that the Gotham Rouges had yet to pick up on because Batman went back out until dawn more often than not.
Anyway, Bruce has been the first to get back and had put on an act of being upset. He usually kept his Batman persona with his suit, so he was rarely ever this stoic while he was Bruce Wayne. He hid his smirk as he sat at the head of the meeting table in the Cave, waiting for his children to change and sit with him. Duke normally was asleep by now, but he'd asked the boy to be there, letting him in on the harmless prank while they waited for his siblings and Stephanie to arrive.
Once everyone was seated, he waited a total of thirty seconds, meeting eyes with every one of his children, before he spoke. "I'm very disappointed."
Dick's eyes narrowed ever so slightly. He'd known Bruce the longest - aside from Alfred - and had likely picked up on something the second he saw Bruce and Duke at the table. "At who?"
"The Justice League," It was amusing to watch the tension melt off of all of them when he shook his head, "We all know who all of them are, as well as everyone who trained under them, but they don't know who we are."
"Except Wonder Woman," Jason pointed out, "She figured me out when I came back."
Fair, Bruce supposed. Jason was always Diana's favorite. "I think they need some help," he said, "A push in the right direction, so to speak."
Stephanie had a smile on her face that promised mischief. "We're not telling them, right? 'Cause that'd be no fun."
"Course not!" Duke yawned, "B said we'd give them a hint."
"What did you have in mind, father?" Damian asked, stoic as always, but matching the gleam in Cass's eyes.
"We invite them to the Bat Cave," he said, "Show them around a bit. The only exits we tell them about, though, should be the Lane," How the ground vehicles get in and out. "-the Zeta Tubes," Obviously. "-and the elevator. But, we don't tell them what's upstairs."
Alfred seemed very amused from where he had taken his seat at the other end of the table.
"From there," Bruce continued, "We invite their civilian identities to the next Gala. Meet them. Hint about the Cave without actually saying anything. If I know Clark as well as I know I do, then he'll, at the very least, piece together that the Bat Cave is under Wayne Manor."
"And if we play it right?" Dick's grin was manic, "They won't connect who we are."
"Won't that be suspicious, though?" Tim spoke up for the first time, "They may not have put things together yet, but they aren't stupid. They're heroes. If we give them the pieces, they're gonna piece them together."
Damian was the one to answer him. "Batman and Bruce Wayne hate one another, though there is a grudging acknowledgement and respect."
"Give them the right pieces, with a few from the wrong puzzle, in the wrong order, we could totally have them fooled!" Jason explained.
The group shared looks between each other. Nothing needed to be said because the looks and movements said everything.
Alfred smiled and shook his head fondly. "You may plan this in the morning. For now, go to bed and get some sleep."

Okay a few people are asking for the chart so here’s the current chart!! (I took out some characters that are still not as fleshed out. That includes Nathan, Ria, Nina, Ashley, Zoe, Ray, Maggie, and the hater and Metropolis characters, but they’re all filler characters rn)
A Wild Battinson Character Lore Continuity

- Goth U, Comp Sci major
- Keeps everyone he knows online at arms length so we don’t know much, has a small close knit friend group irl but he’s also mutuals with everybody on twitter because he’s that kinda guy yk?

- Marzia
- Oh god poor Marzia

hcs on talia’s girlfriend being a batman fangirl?
⚢ pairings; talia al ghul x fem!reader
✗ warnings; talia slowly losing it
note: thx anon i’ve been waiting for this. sorry for the long wait.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is taking place in gotham because i want the useless and unnecessary drama every fiber of her being would prick with annoyance, at first it would be self amusing and like a ‘this isn’t real’ reaction at first, when she spends the night the first time at your place and you come out in a batman pjs shirt.
she’ll give a quick eyebrow raise with pursed lips, the reaction on the outside is dull but still enough to catch your attention, while mentally she’s thinking about all the ways to destroy that shirt, and if this is some sick joke god is playing on her
it only gets worst when you say she’s a hater and ask if she’s a superman fan instead,”don’t tell me you’re some major superman fan.”
“quite the opposite my love.”
doesn’t question anything else that night thinking that would be the end of it and the shirt remains from some childhood silly crush you once had on batman, she’s completely wrong and it’s even worst when she finds out you still have a die hard fangirl crush on bruce without even knowing it, and the fact you don’t even know that the batman is her ex who she shares a son with.
rethinks the reason of her existence when you get in a heated debate of defending batman and calling him the protector of gotham and everyone in gotham needing to start being more thankful and grateful for him
also broods whenever batman is mentioned on the news of once again saving the city from hell that is gotham, you’re so awestruck of batman and she simply can’t understand why, ignores the hypocrisy however with bruce being the man she was in love with for over a decade.  
you don’t really seem to care much about bruce wayne though from what she can tell, and because she’s teem of needing to know everything, she went out of her way to ask.
the simple dismiss of bruce being handsome but overhyped and is probably boring definitely had her swell up with some pompousness, also humored her because you don’t know that’s the same man is under that stupid cowl you love
disguises the main reason of her asking is because of bruce being the father of damian and it just ends as that other than you being mildly surprised but understanding the spring of information of talia’s trust needing to be strong before telling you.
she hasn’t quite yet come around to tell you everything yet, including her real identity either she needs some time to thread that  delicately.
probably has a small annoying fear talking in the back of her head that you might leave her once you know the whole truth and you’ll see bruce as your beloved bat knight and pose her as the  villain, as most do.
the batfamily would find the whole batman crush so funny though, jason would be amused but also annoyed because talia >> bruce or batman always, probably will glare at you the first time he ever saw you wearing some batman merch. damian would be unamused and  unbothered, maybe will ask talia why she allows you to wear batman stuff and embarrass herself like that. dick is your biggest supporter and friend now since he’s the opposite of jason
bruce himself would feel really awkward about it at first but also slowly get cocky with it, likely just to piss talia off.
dick chimes in with it also, “a real batman fan huh? you know the old man sees him from time to time, you should ask bruce to get you an autograph.” talia’s silently seething but not enough that it passes dick, it does you at the mere excitement of batman knowing your existence — unknowingly sending talia into a farther blazing imagination of wrapping her hands around nightwing’s neck, maybe bruce’s too if she’s jealous and mad enough.
once you finally circle into the loop of everything obviously you’re shocked until the embarrassment hits and realize all the moments of you being an crushed batman fan in front of the dark knight himself without knowing, as well as his children who are also his fellow vigilantes.
it happened within minutes of batman suddenly appearing in a hazed phase of damian suddenly taking a leave and talia addressing batman as bruce.
“bruce.”
“what? bruce?”
your confusion at talia’s words becoming awestruck when you see bruce under the cowl.
“BRUCE?”
talia grimes and hates the way your eyes light up slightly and your cheeks brightening up, probably snarks out some comment laced with passive aggression out of jealousy and a little bit of insecurity.
she gives an annoyed cocked eyebrow.”salivating now, are we my beloved?” 
she makes sure to emphasizes ‘my’ and beloved, either to remind you or bruce that you’re hers, or probably to remind the both of you. she trusts you but honestly has no trust for bruce and has a feeling if you were to come onto him, he wouldn’t reject it.
merely disregards all your questions and demanding answers and everything else in between, she gets noticeably annoyed when the bruce-batman subject gets brought up, the new infuriating itch of bruce clawing again.
“why does it matter? do you now desire him more than some childish dream?”
everything clicks now on why the subject always got her  agitated somewhat but now that you know batman’s identity you can see the clear enragement.
she’ll calm down after some reassure but will still think her snapped assumption holds some volume for a while. the jealousy will be worst than ever, she acts nonchalant whenever you’re around bruce but let’s out tiny ‘hms’ or clicks of ‘tsk’ if bruce gets too close.
it takes awhile for you to fully get over that you’re dating an assassin from an assassin empire who shares a son with your childhood superhero
any teasing about your pre obliviousness of bruce’s being batman immediately stops when talia comes into view with the room becoming silent and stiff.
maybe for a future birthday she’ll gift you bruce in his cowl that you love so much.

'Christopher Nolan's best movies, from Inception to The Dark Knight, are also among the best movies of the 21st century, which proves how essential he is to understand blockbusters today.
The British-American director has been working behind the cameras for over thirty years, delivering some mind-bending, eye-catching work. Nolan's movies have a common ability to always surprise viewers, usually thanks to time-twisting stories that are never what they seem.
That's also true for his latest movie Oppenheimer, an unexpected box-office hit (blame the Barbenheimer phenomenon) that has arguably been the most talked-about of his career to date, even ahead of his excellent Batman trilogy. It's also one of this year's biggest awards contenders, with enough Oscar buzz to potentially secure the Academy Award for Best Picture.
The three-hour biopic about the life of J Robert Oppenheimer became Nolan's third highest-grossing movie ever, behind only The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. It's very close now to becoming Nolan's third billion-dollar movie.
But enough about the box office. The only ranking we care about is the quality of the movies...
10. The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Rounding out Nolan's acclaimed Batman trilogy was never going to be easy post-The Dark Knight, and sadly, The Dark Knight Rises is more remembered for the controversy surrounding Tom Hardy's vocals than the movie itself.
Still, with standout performances from the likes of Michael Caine and Anne Hathaway, there are worse Batman movies out there.
Also, a near-perfect ending closes the door on Christian Bale's Dark Knight – hopefully not to return for the DCU's Multiverse.
7. Inception (2010)
Boasting Nolan's most A-list cast yet, Inception was like nothing we'd seen before when it debuted in 2010. Helping boost Joseph Gordon-Levitt's career, he plays brilliantly alongside Leonardo DiCaprio as the tragic Dom Cobb.
This Bond-inspired heist movie delves into the psyche of Cillian Murphy's mark, and as we go deeper, each layer is richer than the last.
Delivering one of the most debated endings of all time, we're still talking about whether that totem stopped spinning.
6. Dunkirk (2017)
Remembered alongside war epics like Saving Private Ryan, Dunkirk is probably the least Nolan movie in his catalogue.
Hitting the beaches of World War II, Dunkirk follows the famed 1940 evacuation on land, sea, and by air in three different timelines that offer up their own unique perspective.
Doing away with your typical tropes of a war movie, Dunkirk isn't afraid to get straight in there and hammer home the horrors of the war.
5. Batman Begins (2005)
Putting Christian Bale in the cape and cowl for the first time, Batman Begins ended the run of schlocky comic book movies of the early '00s to redefine the superhero origin story.
Restoring faith in the Dark Knight following Batman & Robin was no easy feat, but with Bale's Bruce Wayne channelling the darkness of Batman: The Animated Series, it defied expectations.
Also, opting for Liam Neeson's Ra's al Ghul as the villain instead of the Joker was a stroke of genius.
4. Oppenheimer (2023)
Combining the real-life history of Dunkirk and the theoretical physics of Tenet, Oppenheimer feels like the movie Nolan was always building to.
A dense three-hour biopic about J Robert Oppenheimer, aka "the father of the atomic bomb", it's a thrilling and thought-provoking watch with a never-better Cillian Murphy at its centre.
The movie's different timelines can be a bit confusing and Jean Tatlock's storyline is a bit questionable, but this is one of Nolan's best works.
Once watched, never forgotten.
1. The Dark Knight (2008)
Arguably the best comic book movie of all time and one of the best movies of all time, even superhero haters are hard-pushed not to be wowed by The Dark Knight.
Christian Bale is joined by Aaron Eckhart showing the softer side of the villainous Two-Face, while Gary Oldman's Jim Gordon is another highlight.
Of course, who could forget Heath Ledger's legendary performance as the Joker? For the opening bank heist alone, Ledger more than earned his posthumous Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.'

Why did you become a fan of Jensen? Most of his fans came because he is an actor, you just said in one of your reposts that he has no talent for acting. I'm totally confused why you supposedly call yourself a fan of his, Jensen is known by the public for being an actor first, it doesn't make sense to be a fan of his if that wasn't the reason, because before this profession he was an anonymous
I said "My biggest dream Batmanwise would be for him to play the character but, as you beautifully expressed, he does not have presence and brand to carry that out. I would also add that he lacks the acting chops but that one is easily fixable with private coaching."
Meaning he does not have the advanced acting skills required to play a multilayered character such as Bruce Wayne/Batman.
Why do you insist on misinterpreting everything and twisting it into something sick?
I have experience in Jensen's world and know what the standards are, especially those required to be a bookable actor. You have no clue, yet here you are twisting things as if you were coming to such a big aha moment. If you mean to imply that I'm a hater, by all means, go ahead. But please know it is your own limited view, ignorance and lack of knowledge that makes you view me as a hater. No one values Jensen more than me but that doesn't mean I tollerate him being less than what he can be.
If you think you're fan because you never criticize him, I have news for you. Based on psychology. Someone who is never challenged never, ever evolves. Someone who doesn't evolve stagnates. An actor who stagnates can say sayonara to his career. Especially in today's world. To grow, any human needs a balance of support AND challenge. Whoever fails to recognize this has unbalanced perceptions that lead to states like mania etc.
Therefore, your "love" of Jensen is really just a love of keeping him under your manipulation and using him like an object. I'd rather be like me and honestly say when he is subpar and how he could grow because I know how valuable that kind of feedback is for an actor of any caliber. The fact that you are completely out of touch with that tells me you are an amateur or a fan trying to attack something you do not even comprehend to begin with. Sad.
I wish you all the best. Please stop reading my blog if it is displeasing in any way to you. My posts are an excuse to exchange perspectives with those who resonate.

The most non-anticipated comic book film of the year is in theaters now!
Ehh. That’s pretty much the summary of this film. With only a four film/two origin stories buildup to unite the six (Marvel had a five film/four origin stories build up to Avengers) Justice League doesn’t even break the top 25 of 2017, not even top 75 all time comic book list among Rotten Tomatoes, which honestly is heartbreaking.
Please note everyone that I am not a DC hater. I grew up the biggest Batman/Superman/Justice League fan. The Dark Knight trilogy stands as my all time favorite movie series. Yes, I am a bigger Batman fan than I am Star Wars and Marvel fan. However, Warner Brothers wanted to rush the DCEU franchise to compete with Marvel. If you didn’t know Captain America: Civil War and Batman v Superman both had the same release date. The Motion Picture Society of America let Disney hold their May release date and BvS had their late Winter release moved up to February simply because one thing: story. 
These WB writers just cannot figure it out. They want to cut against the grain and it just isn’t working. Disney-Marvel has laid out the formula to make a perfect comic book universe. Give every character their own origin story/solo movie before they all come together in one film. WB - “lets make a sub-par Superman movie with the director that made Sucker Punch, then lets put a different Batman that is not Christian Bale in a sequel THREE YEARS LATER!” 
This film has the biggest three comic book characters of all time in one movie. Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are in one film (FOR THE SECOND TIME) and they still cannot break a billion. And then you give Thor his third (some would argue tired) film and it breaks Rotten Tomatoes records; and no one knew who Thor was seven years ago...
This is confirmed, not rumored that there are some massive changes happening to the DCEU. After the success of Wonder Woman this year (and yes that was a fantastic film; the only good film out of the 5 DCEU films) that there will most definitely be Wonder Woman 2 dropping in 2019 with its story taking place in the 1980s. Ezra Miller is getting a Flashpoint film that will rewrite the entire history of the DCEU. What this means is they will dismiss Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, and Justice League out of existence. This is a very similar approach to what Fox did with X-Men Days of Future Past in 2014 to write the Logan and First Class series into the X-Men canon without any plot holes.
Positives to take away from Justice League? I really like Ben Affleck as an older, tired, and bitter Bruce Wayne/Batman. Gal Gadot was born to play Wonder Woman, and it is very clear that Ezra Miller’s Flash is a similar play to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. I haven’t decided how I feel about Mamoa as Aquaman. He looks cool, but his Baywatch acting ability shines in this movie. Its just not there. Cyborg sucks. Jesse Eisenberg continues to suck as Lex Luthor. Cavill is a great Clark Kent/Superman, but as long as Zack Snyder (director/writer/lead executive producer) continues to sit on the throne, his character will continue to suck. 
I mean come on! Who thought Steppenwolf was a good idea as a villain? Who the hell is Steppenwolf? What about DARKSEID, THE JOKER, THE ENTIRE RESUME OF BATMAN VILLAINS!?
This movie dragged, there were some good moments, but all in all it was just okay and a cluster-you-know-what of CGI.
When you have that many big heavy hitters in one film, Justice League should blow us away. But it doesn’t. That’s why I say it sucks.
Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 40%, IMDB gave it a 7.2/10, I give it 3/5 stars.

Bruce figured out their civilian identities pretty quickly. He had to, in order to recruit them. Either way, he knew the names of all of the Justice League heroes and they had no idea who he was.
Most of them either ignored their personas - like Wonder Woman and Green Lantern who didn't talk about their civilian life in costume or vice versa - while others - Superman - sang their own praises as civilians.
Superman's whole having three names thing was useful, and a pretty good cover, but Batman had spotted that the relationship between Clark Kent and Lois Lane was the exact one that Superman and Lois Lane shared, so that was a bit of a moot point.
Personally, Bruce liked his way of keeping people off his tail. Not only were Brucie Wayne and Batman polar opposites, but they were both each other's biggest haters. Although, Bruce publicly admitted that he thinks Batman has the right idea, just not the best execution. While Batman, not on record but definitely heard, has said that Bruce Wayne does good things for Gotham as a whole.
The kids all think it's hilarious, but no one - except Tim, but he's a special case - has managed to cement his civilian and caped identities as being the same person.
Well, maybe Harvey has, but that's because of a lot of reasons. As long as Two Face doesn't reveal that information, and Bruce knows he won't, then all's well.
The point is that Batman knows who the Justice League are outside of capes and masks, but they don't know who he is. Of course, revealing himself would mean revealing his kids, and they wouldn't like that if he was boring about it.
The only natural solution is to be over the top and dramatic about it.
He could keep his name to himself, but where's the fun in that?
Though, it'd be funnier if he managed to keep the appearance of Batman and Bruce Wayne hating each other, especially if he reveals that the Bat Cave is under Wayne Manor.
That'd be funny. His kids would be proud.
His kids will want in on this.
He's got some conspiring planning to do.

'Christopher Nolan is leading the Oscar nominations this year thanks to Oppenheimer, which is also nominated for the 2024 BAFTA Awards.
Nolan already won his first-ever Golden Globe back in January, so it looks like his record-breaking biopic is going to be his most-awarded movie ever. It's an incredible accomplishment for an essential filmmaker of the 21st century. Now, where does Oppenheimer land in this ranking of his best movies?
It's not easy to order Christopher Nolan's movies from worst to best, given some of them are among the best movies of the last twenty years. Also, Nolan's movies have a common ability to always surprise viewers, usually thanks to time-twisting stories that are never what they seem.
That's true for his latest movie Oppenheimer, a huge box-office hit that has arguably been the most talked-about of his career to date, even ahead of his excellent Batman trilogy. As we mentioned before, it's also one of this year's biggest awards contenders, with enough Oscar buzz to potentially secure the Academy Award for Best Picture.
The three-hour biopic about the life of J Robert Oppenheimer became Nolan's third highest-grossing movie ever, behind only The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises...
10 The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Rounding out Nolan's acclaimed Batman trilogy was never going to be easy post-The Dark Knight, and sadly, The Dark Knight Rises is more remembered for the controversy surrounding Tom Hardy's vocals than the movie itself.
Still, with standout performances from the likes of Michael Caine and Anne Hathaway, there are worse Batman movies out there.
Also, a near-perfect ending closes the door on Christian Bale's Dark Knight – hopefully not to return for the DCU's Multiverse...
7 Inception (2010)
Boasting Nolan's most A-list cast yet, Inception was like nothing we'd seen before when it debuted in 2010. Helping boost Joseph Gordon-Levitt's career, he plays brilliantly alongside Leonardo DiCaprio as the tragic Dom Cobb.
This Bond-inspired heist movie delves into the psyche of Cillian Murphy's mark, and as we go deeper, each layer is richer than the last.
Delivering one of the most debated endings of all time, we're still talking about whether that totem stopped spinning...
6 Dunkirk (2017)
Remembered alongside war epics like Saving Private Ryan, Dunkirk is probably the least Nolan movie in his catalogue.
Hitting the beaches of World War II, Dunkirk follows the famed 1940 evacuation on land, sea, and by air in three different timelines that offer up their own unique perspective.
Doing away with your typical tropes of a war movie, Dunkirk isn't afraid to get straight in there and hammer home the horrors of the war...
5 Batman Begins (2005)
Putting Christian Bale in the cape and cowl for the first time, Batman Begins ended the run of schlocky comic book movies of the early '00s to redefine the superhero origin story.
Restoring faith in the Dark Knight following Batman & Robin was no easy feat, but with Bale's Bruce Wayne channelling the darkness of Batman: The Animated Series, it defied expectations.
Also, opting for Liam Neeson's Ra's al Ghul as the villain instead of the Joker was a stroke of genius...
4 Oppenheimer (2023)
Combining the real-life history of Dunkirk and the theoretical physics of Tenet, Oppenheimer feels like the movie Nolan was always building to.
A dense three-hour biopic about J Robert Oppenheimer, aka "the father of the atomic bomb", it's a thrilling and thought-provoking watch with a never-better Cillian Murphy at its centre.
The movie's different timelines can be a bit confusing and Jean Tatlock's storyline is a bit questionable, but this is one of Nolan's best works.
Once watched, never forgotten...
1 The Dark Knight (2008)
Arguably the best comic book movie of all time and one of the best movies of all time, even superhero haters are hard-pushed not to be wowed by The Dark Knight.
Christian Bale is joined by Aaron Eckhart showing the softer side of the villainous Two-Face, while Gary Oldman's Jim Gordon is another highlight.
Of course, who could forget Heath Ledger's legendary performance as the Joker? For the opening bank heist alone, Ledger more than earned his posthumous Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.'
