Lucius will give him grief for playing hooky, but as John comes toddling up and runs right into his knees, Bruce canāt find it in himself to feel even an ounce of remorse. Now he stands beside Dick, leaning against the island as they watch John wave at Titus from where he sits on the kitchen floor. Ace watches the two of them carefully, always on watch, just in case.
John holds his stuffed lion up to Titus who sniffs it, and judging from his giggle, that must be enough for him.
āHeās a very happy child,ā Bruce says, lip of the counter digging into his palm.
āArenāt you observant,ā Dick mutters, and at the look quickly tries to mask it by taking a sip of his coffee. āWhat? I didnāt say anything. Iām just watching my kid have a blast playing with the dogs.ā
Bruce sighs. āAs much I say I appreciate the visit, I canāt say I missed the attitude.ā
āOf course you did,ā Dick says, and then his gaze cuts back to John and his little hand reaching for Titusā ear with a quick: āHey, be nice.ā
āNice!ā John parrots, and both of them tense when gravity suddenly takes hold and he plops himself down on his rear on the kitchen floor with a grunt. Ace perks up a little at the sudden motion and watches as John shakes his lion at the dogs, babbling a loose string of what are almost syllables. In the corner of his eye, Bruce can see Dick smirk and shake his head and take another sip of his coffee.

Imagine Bruce cooking dinner with you
Having time alone with Bruce where you both could simply relax was a rare feat. Often busy with Batman activities or with the Justice League there was only so much time in the day that you could see one another. This ranged often from a few minutes before bed to a few hours in the morning if you each woke up early enough. If it was anyone else you might have felt a strain on the relationship but with Bruce somehow even with time constraints you still made everything work.
Often though, Bruce felt some sort of guilt creep through him knowing that saving the world could be left to the rest of the team and that Wayne Enterprises could handle one day without him. Youād never questioned his work ethic, never questioned the hours and days he sometimes spent away tinkering on new projects, you accepted and loved him as though he wasnāt a vigilante. He knew that you deserved better and yet somehow you never saw it that way.
Thus, Bruce strived to make time to spend with you, as much of it as he could. And it was moments like this that reminded him each and every time why he had fallen in love with you in the first place. Standing side by side in the kitchen, Bruce chopping vegetables while you added them to the pan, sneaking a slice of something from the cutting board and trying to argue with him that it was your duty as chef to test the ingredients. He didnāt think heād ever laughed as much as when he was with you.

Batman inĀ Batman: The Enemy Within
Oh, I love this!!!! Itās such a cool idea!
People do not appreciate ballet and the potential for action or body horror that comes with it. Strength, grace, viciousness - I LOVE it. Itās also such a great idea for Batman, I think. Heās a goth icon with his black cape and vampiric vibes and combining that with elegance instead of brutishness, as you said - itās just so good!! I love it so much!!!!Ā
Honestly, the whole āBatman has big arms and machine gunsā is so tiring to me. This - Batman as a graceful creature of shadow and night - is SO much more tempting.Ā
But also! This concept could be used with love and care to dismantle the ācold unfeeling Eastern Europeansā trope! Not that the whole League of Shadows business did that in any way for Eastern Asia - but it would be a nice concept. I would appreciate it. It would be fun.
Bruce picking up little bits and pieces? Speaking Russian, as you said (absolutely LOVE that btw, I love the concept, love the sound, love the idea), drinking absurd amounts of tea, having his taste in art and literature be influenced heavily by thisā¦.I just love it SO MUCH.Ā
After all, the whole League of Shadows business was tied tightly to a certain philosophy, and I would assume a Ballet school, even if that part is just a cover, would have a certain philosophy as well. Pain as a negligible side effect, elegance and efficiency at all costs, I feel like those things align very well with Bruce as a character. The idea of self-destruction for the greater good, basically.Ā
I could stare at the ceiling all night and think about this. š©° š¦Ā

question to the batman fandom: does anyone know AU fics where harvey doesnāt become two-face?
He sighed, taking a step towards you and you felt the blush rise high in your cheeks when his disappointed glare met your eyes. You shrank from it, feeling so much like the child you were when he first took you in. Unworthy. Not good enough. Shame made the blush on your cheeks darken and you looked down, unable to maintain the eye contact for any longer.Ā
āWhat you did tonight was very stupid.ā His voice was low and Goddamnit you could practically feel the anger radiating from it. You flinched, missing the way his eyes softened just a little from your reaction as you continued to glare holes into the floor of the Caveā¦as if that alone could make the floor open up and prevent this conversation from going any further. You were about to speak, tell him why you did what you did. Make him understand. Scream that you didnāt care that he was angry or disappointed in you, but you froze when you felt his hand on your shoulder and you looked up to meet those steely blue eyes again.Ā
āI canāt lose you. Pleaseā¦be more careful next time.Ā
So I was in one of my college classes when a thought came to me.
The Batfamily are one of the most, if not the most, close knit group of superheroes out there. I mean they are a literal family.
So that got me thinking. What if every member had a different combo move with each other and what would it be like?
Then it went to imagining a 2D fighter with all the batfamily members in it.
Just imagine it a game like DragonBall Fighterz but Batman.
DC get your act together!
Damian: You know what makes humans different from other animals?
Cass: Feet!
Steph: No, no, no, come on. Bears have feet.
Damian: Weāre the only species on earth that observes Shark Week. Sharks donāt even observe Shark Week, but we do, for the same reason I pick up this pencil, tell you itās name was Steve, and go like this! *Snaps the pencil in two to the discomfort of the others* And parts of you dies, just a little bit, on the inside. Because people can connect with anything. If we can sympathize with a pencil, we can forgive a Shark.
Cass: Youāve thought alot about this, havenāt you?

Bruce: Hal, are you staying for the party?
Hal, trying to get out of staying: *dressed in a cheap Batman costume* If I stay, there can be no party. I must be out there in the night, staying vigilant.
Hal, just trying to stay in ācharacterā: Wherever a party needs to be saved Iām there, but sometimes Iām not because Iām out in the night, staying vigilant. Watching. Lurking. Running. Jumping. Hurtling. Sleeping. No, I canāt sleep. You sleep. Iām awake. I donāt sleep or blink.
Hal, basically giving up and mocking Bruce at this point: Am I a bird? No! Iām a Bat! I am Batman. Or am I?
Bruce: *clears throat*
Hal, reeling it back in so Bruce doesnāt hit him: Yes I am Batman. Happy Halloween! *runs out the door*
Bruce afterwards to Clark: A simple Yes or No would of worked just fine.
