In those isolated batfam AU, batfams are always so tightknit. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love that, but consider this:

Their intra conflict is there, but when they face potential threats/meddling from people who don't know Gotham but feel like they can just come here and get involved, everyone suddenly decides that the lesser of the two evils is each other.

They have a meeting in the bat cave to try to reach an agreement among themselves so they can build an image of a perfect team with a well-oiled dynamic. Five minutes into it, Tim and Damian are having a fist fight. Bruce, Dick, and Jason are having a three-way shouting match. Cassandra and Duke are in conflict with themselves about whose side they should take, if at all. Stephanie is nowhere to be found. Barbara is gathering more information from the shouting match to use later. This is the first time since forever that more than three of them are in the Batcave at the same time.

They are all perfectly in sync with each other when it's time to confront an outsider.

----------------‐

Flash: Anyone from their group can speak for them all! It's like their minds are connected!

Batfam: We already discussed everything imaginable beforehand and have a 20-page long condition everyone needs to remember, so we don't need to discuss anything in front of other people. Someone was stabbed in the process.

 

Wonder woman: They know each other so well. What a good comrade!

Tim and Jason: Know everything about each other because they stalk each other. Respect for privacy is a myth.

Reread the webtoon My In-laws Are Obsessed With Me and I only want to take the cursed blood and slam it on the batfamily. For all of it to make sense it would have to be a no capes au.

Thomas and Martha unknowingly unleash a curse upon Gotham that didn't begin until they died and paid with their blood. Their killer took a bit more time with Bruce and punched him across the jaw making blood spill from his lips. Bruce sees his hand reaching for him again and just lunges at it. Sinks his teeth thoroughly into his hand making the man scream and pulling him away to throw at the ground. The man pulls out his gun and aims only to drop it and Bruce watches as he claws at his chest and writhed while choking on his pain until he stills. And so Bruce is the first to gain the cursed blood.

Obviously they (Bruce and Alfred) don't know at first that Bruce's blood is toxic. They find out when Alfred forces Bruce to spend some time outside and a squirrel catches his attention. Against Alfred's wishes, and while he went inside for a moment, he holds out his hand with a nut that the squirrel quickly eats. It checks his hand for another and finding nothing it just bites him. He yelps as he pulls his hand away to look at, but movement catches his eye and he looks up to see the squirrel shaking on the ground and then stop. It reminds him of that night and he's crying when he turns around and there's Alfred who crouched down to hold him, but keeps a hand around his wrist to keep at a distance.

To make sure of what he saw Alfred catches various bugs and small animals to test with Bruce's blood. All died. He tells Bruce and from there they make sure to hide it from all. He teaches him how to defend himself, how to keep others at a distance, and dress in fully covering clothes and gloves. Years pass.

Alfred has gotten into the habit to keep an eye out for entertainment and such that can be partaken from afar to go with Bruce. The circus is in town and his boy has time for the last day of it.

After this my mind just bounces around with the fact that each of the batkids get cursed blood before they come to Bruce. Because after laying dormant for a while the curse comes out and affects one person in Gotham then the next. Just speeding up after Jason and then laying quiet for a long time until Terry and Matt.

I want them traumatized so maybe Dick, Jay, Tim, Steph and Duke are the cause of their parents death. Barbara being an outlier and getting cursed blood after getting paralyzed as an adult and kidnapped with a Wayne (Jay I'm looking at you). Cass being found after she's been using her blood as a tool to survive the streets and hates that she does. Damian joining the family and not having cursed blood at first. They find out when he had a small cut on the palm of his hand that Ace licked and he watches the dog die in front of him and his family.

For the sake of my heart this is an isolated batfam idea. Meaning the only ones not affected by cursed blood are others with it. They only have each other because they at least know they can't die because of them. And they don't suffer from their blood so no random seizures because their own blood hurts them too.

#batfam #isolated batfam #batfamily #tw animal death #it could also easily be a dark batfam au considering how obsessed they can be about each other #and so willing to kill others who hurt them so they won't lose one of the few people they can be close to #bruce wayne is fighting with everything he has against both those facts #and I'm having a mean thought about Dick who tried going out and becoming best friends with Wally #only to be the reason for his death 😔 #a cautionary tale for his siblings #and yes Jason doesn't die in this au #he just gets maimed #solidarity through suffering for this family #bruce wayne #dick grayson #jason todd #tim drake #cassandra cain #stephanie brown #damian wayne #duke thomas #barbara gordon

To most people in the world, Gotham is a myth. A hidden, cursed city populated by the worst criminals fleeing justice, the most desperate of victims, and the most esoteric of creatures a seeking a place where they can live openly. It is rumoured that Gothamites have their own moral boundaries, disturbing to the rest of the world. Some scholars speculate that the myth of Gotham originated from early Celtic colonists; a particularly dark rendition of the fair folk that eventually gained a more modern touch.

The residents of Bludhaven, New Jersey strongly suspect that these myths have some truth to them. No matter what they might claim or deny to tourists who arrive searching for their mythical neighbours, everyone who lives there long enough has an anecdote of when reality was just not right. A field seeming a much longer walk than it should, something or someone that was there and then not, a spot that they swear just gives them chills. And then there were the strange visitors, somehow uncanny, who would say the most out of pocket things. Metropolans can sometimes corroborate about the odd, bewildered tourists. There are even rumours that Wayne Enterprises, a large tech company headquartered in Bludhaven, imports outside goods into Gotham, but these have never been proven.

Clark finds the Gotham folklore fascinating, even if a bit morbid. While Bludhaveners are the ones of take things to a superstitious level, most Metropolans, he's learned, are also quite familiar with the myths and rumours. Lois has mentioned playing games in elementary school with themes like escaping Gotham, or the 'it' person instead being named as the 'Gothamite'.

He's quite surprised when Zatanna responds to his musings with amusement, "Oh Gotham is very real. I studied warding there for a bit in my twenties, as one of a small cohort of Outside students. Disturbing place with some very weird and occasionally fucked up customs, but to the people there that's just normal, and Outsiders are the ones who are weird." She shakes a queasy look off of her face as Clark gapes, "The architecture and flora was amazing though, very unique. They go to great lengths to ensure that we don't bother them and they're very happy to be considered a myth. Though when you actually end up there they can be surprisingly friendly, despite their paranoia."

It doesn't seem like she's lying, Clark observes. God, if it turns out Lois' childhood boogeymen are actually real, he can't wait to see the look on her face when he tells her.

Danny has been reincarnated.

Which was an odd thing to realize, it wasn't even a slow one he just... snapped into it one day. One moment he was staring at a wall out of boredom the next, well, he was staring for an entirely different reason.

It was a task for his now young -he thinks around three years old?- mind to work its way through the memories, but it wasn't like he had much else to do honestly. So, what does he know?

His name is Danny, like, his actual name and not just a moniker. He was once a halfa and he already knows he's going to be missing invisibility and intangibility. He, well, died. For like, a second time which actually makes sense because reincarnation-

Anyways.

He was a clone of two people from this thing called the Justice League which, weird name but probably some government or activist group. Wonder Woman and Superman. Which were pretty weird names to name your kids but eh.

He doesn't really remember much besides that from this life, or the one from before but he's an adult! He'll figure things out once he gets out of this containment tube thing.

Did he mention he was in a test tube? He's a tube baby now. He thinks? Or maybe it's more like he's being contained.

Whatever.

So he breaks out. Thank you apparent superstrength that he has no idea why he has but he's not going to complain! He then wandered around all of the other test tubes, able to remember just enough of English to see that yea, they're dead.

He probably was too, before he had memories zapped into him. Or a vegetable.

He then finds this really big container, checks it out, then opens it because the clone inside isn't dead!

'Project Match' it said. He'll just call him Match.

Was he thanked for helping him? Nope. You would think that he would be thanked or at least somewhat respected for saving this guy but nope!

He was, quite literally, held up by his leg and dangled in the air. Who dangles a three-year-old?! Well, he was technically and adult but still! The next few things were a blur but after pulling off the old Fenton charm he found him and Match outside as he tried to stop him from attacking random people.

Luckily the charms and privilege of the youngest (he's assuming he's the youngest, because he's physically three) was more than enough to get through to him. Sure, the guy couldn't form words, really aggressive for literally no reason, really weird but also absolutely cool looking eyes. But he worked around the first issue by developing their own personal language from like grunts and stuff, the second he once again used his youngest privilege to boss him around and the third a pair of sunglasses easily fixed.

He just had to steer Match clear of those random S crest mark thingies. Which was a weird thing to hate but hey, he's not there to judge.

#dc x dp #dp x dc #dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc crossover #dc x dp crossover #Danny is a clone of Wonder Woman and Superman #He wasn't perfect so he got put up #Through the use of bullshit youngest privileges Danny can boss around and somewhat pacify Match #You know how the Batfam made their own language in those Cryptid/Creepy/Isolated Batfam fics? #Yea that but between Danny and Match #This is obviously before Superboy freed Match but this is also after Superboy was freed #Danny has zero clue who Wonder Woman or Superman is or the Justice League #Lex Luthor is a bit perplexed over two clones missing when he finds out but doesn't care too much since they were both failed clones #And no problem arouse regarding the two of them #He's more so worried about who got passed his security #Nobody besides Lex (because as mentioned above) knows about them #Yet

Dick and Jason talking on a rooftop

Dick: So you just, like, told that crime alley kid you guys are family now?

Jason: look Dick, if you don't like someone's family, you gotta become their family. If I'm those kids' big brother, then I know they have at least one family member who cares about them.

Dick: You're turning into your father

Jason:

Jason: I will give you 5 seconds before I beat you to a bloody pulp

Batman: *suddenly standing over them* You will do no such thing

Jason and Dick:

Jason and Dick: *both hanging onto the roof, trying to pull themselves up*

Jason: I can't believe you summoned him

Dick: Me? It was you and your 'beat you to a bloody pulp'

#it was actually that batman was nearby on patrol and thought he would stop over to say hi #cause he doesnt get to see his two eldests as much now that they moved out so he uses every opportunity he gets to say hi #he only heard the end when jason threatened dick though #also dick and jason go out for smoothies every once in a while #they used to do it when dick moved away and Jason was still living with Bruce. they recently started it up again for brotherly bonding #they just get smoothies. sit on some random rooftop. and talk to each other. usually talking about life and whats been going on with them #dick didnt want jason to get isolated so he was like even if im towns over i still gotta be here for the kid #now he just likes to talk to jason and again the brotherly bonding after everything that happened #jason todd #dick grayson #bruce wayne #batkids #batfam #bat family #incorrect batfamily quotes #batman

I've seen a lot of Batfam meets the Justice League fics where Batman has hidden his family. I'd really like a Batfam meets the Justice League fic where he doesn't try to hide his family no. The Batman who loves scaring people, popping out of shadows, disappearing into them, and overall just fucking with people, the head of the chaotic Batfam, he knowing that the other heros don't know a lot of what goes on in Gotham so he just pretends like they know. He tells them it's Oracle's system that runs watchtower and he make a bunch of vague references to the other bats knowing they are going to take it a different way. He doesn't try to hide his relationship with the other bats when his kids and their teams run into the Justice League. He just sits back and watches the chaos as the leaguers try to make their perception of The Batman fit with what they are seeing.

And his kids and their teams? Well they should have believed them when they said Batman was they're dad. It's not their fault they thought they were joking. Even Alfred is in on it making calls to watchtower and Titan's tower about being home in time for dinner and forgetting their lunches at home. Alfred is happy how this is bringing them together and that Bruce is making friends.

Meanwhile the Hero community is scared shitless about Batman's retired dad that doesn't have a no kill rule. They've never met him in person but the overall respect of the Batfam has towards Agent A as well as the fact he raised Batman makes them never want to meet him or for him to feel a need to come out of retirement.

***

"oh Batman isn't the head of the Batfamily"

"what?"

"Agent A is"

***

"who's scarier than Batman?", one of the leaguers asks rhetorically

Batfam member who pops up behind them from the shadows, "Agent A, he doesn't have a no kill rule"

"who's Agent A?"

"The man who raised Batman"

The leaguer who once referred to him as that old guy that answers the batcave phone: 😨

someday I'm actually gonna try to write one of my concepts for Danny/Jason because like. There is something so special and important to me about two dead boys reminding eachother how to live.

#what if you were the only person I'd ever met who really understood what I've been through #and how isolated I've felt knowing that everyone around me mourns for a person I can never be again #and we were both boys 😳 #dpxdc #dp x dc #dead on main #danny phantom #dc #batfam #my rambles

Tim’s self-isolation in the beginning of Red Robin is actually so funny to me because it hardly works.

Tim @ most of his friends and family: nobody contact me. leave me alone. I’m busy. don’t try to stop me.

Tim @ Cass: hey, wanna stay in contact? :)

Tim when Chris Kent asks him for help: I’m actually not Robin anymore so saving people is not my job. Oh her life is in danger? …okay fine but then I’m going back to my thing.

Tim when Kon finds him: I’m busy…Oh you need help? okay…let’s have an accidental heartfelt talk and then we can help each other with our latest emotional crises.

Tim when Dick calls him: don’t call me…ohhh, that seems serious. fine I’ll come to Gotham but then I’m going right back to what I was doing. *finishes up what he was doing* okay I’m back, let’s team up.

Tim when someone he’s never met ends up as the League’s semi-hostage with him: Hey when we’re done do you wanna travel for business together & maybe go on a date?

#tim drake #batfam #ngl I think he kind of sucks at self isolating because he’s bad at resisting the urge to help people #helping people is his coping mechanism just as much as self isolation is and I’m being serious about that #but seriously the way tim tells everybody else not to call him & then when he goes to cass later he says he kept in touch with her. lmaoo #big sister privileges (…also though. is this partially bc of their time bonding in Blüdhaven after Jack died? both on their own again…) #I think this is something a lot of people kind of miss in this era. Tim likes people too much to actually isolate all the way… #red robin (2009) #cassandra cain #dick grayson #heroesriseandfall #bonds: a guardian angel #bonds: i knew it was you #kon el #tam fox

Chapter 8 of Jailbreaking the Local Cryptid, Just Your Usual Tuesday is up!

Seeing as this is the second to last chapter before the next work in the series, I thought I would share some of my reactions to yall's wonderful support!

My readers: Wow, this is awesome! I can't wait to read what happens next!

Me writing the whole chapter with no forethought a few hours before I post: .....yea....me too...

Me (was raised to think the entire internet was mean and I'd only ever receive hate): Cautiously posts a fanfic because I'm bored and I really like Cryptid BatFam

My readers: Sending loads of encouragement, leaving really nice comments with love and awesome ideas that I had never thought of and now realize would be perfect, and being super supportive

Me: 😭🫶 I don't deserve you

One nice reader who clearly knows their stuff: Gives some insight on the justice league and how they would react to the Court of Owls. And also speculate that since birds can't taste spicy stuff Cryptid Avian Robin loves spicy food because it doesn't affect him

Me: I didn't know that, but it is 100% canon now and you can rip that from my dead body. (Also yes, the JLA is totally going behind Bruce's back and are going to investigate the court)

I will be posting so art I did for this fic really soon!

#batfam fanfic #batman #batman fic #batfam #batfamily #dc comics #preferably not fics that make the avengers out to be better than the dc characters #nothing against the avengers but that’s not for me #this is self indulgence at it’s finest #the trope i want is basically outsider pov x10 but not always from the outsiders pov #batbros #i kinda love the very isolated batfam existing in the mcu trope that’s very funny to me #also scrolling through the dc+marvel tags on ao3 has been giving me mostly peter parker ends up in gotham fics #which I’m sure is fun but isnt the trope i want

Title: Amity Park: Untold Horrors

Fandom(s): Danny Phantom; Batman - All Media Types

Relationships, Characters: Danny & Sam & Tucker; Tim Drake-Wayne & Danny Fenton (but in a one-sided character & fan way)

Warnings: Gothic horror; found footage; analog horror; spooky vibes; eldritch danny

Summary: Tim clicked the link out of curiosity, figuring he could give up ten minutes of his life to find out what was so interesting about 'Amity Park: A Brief History – Fenton's Final Project' that it had attracted over a million views in just one week. He had no idea of the research rabbit hole he was about to fall down. /// It started with an innocent school project, a video presentation posted online for ease of access. Danny had no idea it would lead him here...

Red Robin era Tim: Fuck you Dick! Fuck you Cassie! Fuck you Steph! Don't try to be there for me! I'm going running away and leaving Gotham, and I'm taking my evidence that Bruce might be alive with me! Red Robin era Tim: ... Red Robin era Tim: Wait why am I all alone and no one but a supervillain believes me about Bruce being alive?

and if is said that fics that are like 'the bats are sooo quirky and weird and crazy XD!!!!! look at these other heroes being shocked and dumbfounded by their sheer intellect and awesomeness and competence!!!!! these other non bat characters are bumbling idiots who are intimidated by the bats, the most specialest guys ever and the main characters of the whole universe!!' were shit would you guys be mad or what

#how do i tag this #fandom #batfam fandom #dc #anti batfam #fandom critical #idk #rule of thumb: if it's tagged as 'isolated batfamily' or includes the phrase 'the jla discovers that' then it's probably one of those fics #batman #like if i wanted to see people being batman dickriders i would go on youtube shorts

I'm having angsty Jarro thoughts

Jarro loves Batdad and wants to be with him and to be his child in truth. Jarro dreams of being Robin – Batman’s favourite Robin.

But that can never be.

In a world where Starro the Conqueror attacked and mind-controlled New York City and, later, most of Europe, starfish – even ordinary Earth starfish – will be generally viewed with fear and anger.

Damian probably watches nature documentaries where conservationists desperately try to persuade people that starfish are gentle, beautiful creatures that don’t deserve the bad press they get and that are totally unrelated to those evil star-conquering starfish aliens. And still there are people who attack and kill (ordinary, earthling) starfish on sight.

So Jarro, on earth, at best would be some sort of public Face Of The Species, living proof that They’re Not All Bad. At worst, Jarro would face constant threats from people wanting revenge or fearing that it’s only a matter of time before the starfish reveals the evil within.

And even if this could be overcome, as the Only space starfish on earth and instantly recognisable, Jarro would have to make a choice: Bruce’s child, or Robin? Because both is not an option.

#jarro #batfam #though I would love it if it was possible #jarro isolated on the watchtower just makes me sad #let jarro come down to the batcave and join the family
