The Batfandom On Tumblr Is Weird Because Unlike Every Other Social Media Site I Feel Completely Safe

Yay!!! :D

Bruce about to reveal his identity to the JL

Bruce: “I’m going to do something that may traumatize two of you. I am not sorry.”

Oliver: “oh come on Batman you identity isn’t that special.”

Bruce going full whiny play boy: “Dinah! Ollie is being mean to me!!!”

Oliver: blue screens

Dinah: “YOU BITCH!?”

Cassandra Cain would love the classic era of Barbie. I will not elaborate.

The internet is like if someone stuck a note on a board and then people will write down what they think the note says and also stick it to the same board.

Then as time goes on the notes cover the board and people are still adding to it. Eventually the original meaning of the note is lost and oversimplified but the original note is still there.

All you have to do is look for it and then you’d get what the note actually means but no one ever does.

I’m adding on to this cause I haven’t slept. These take place in various moments on the time line.

Dick “I grew up in two circuses, a real one and this one, the world is my stage” Grayson and Jason “I’m literally the most dramatic person in this family” Todd have the most fun with the pr move. They literally write scripts and choreograph fights in order to make the most dramatic scenes that would bring a tear to any bystander watching.

Roy and Kori are Dick’s friends. Roy and Kori are Jason’s friends. Roy and Kori are concerned about their fighting and the batfam’s relationship. Dick and Jason are trying to convince Bruce that they can trust Roy and Kori with the secret. Bruce allows them, only to get them to stop pestering him about it. Dick and Jason decide to do one last overly dramatic fight that would make it seem like they would never want to even look at each other again. Roy and Kori are horrified, shocked that either one could say such things to one another and are trying to figure out how they could continue their friendships with both brothers. Jason then invites them over to his place where they find him and Dick playing Mario Party. They tell them everything. Kori ends up laughing to tears. Roy ends up screaming.

Jason nearly killing Tim does happen (Jason now feels terrible, Tim is mostly annoyed rather than upset). Because is this the Titans HATE Red Hood. Conner wants to punch him to the moon. This may or may not cause issues for them when they try to do the pr move. Jason nearly did get punched to the moon. It’s gotten to the point where Tim tells them what is actually going on so he can finally enact his epic battle plans for his fight with Red Hood. The team doesn’t give a crap cause they’re still mad at Red Hood. Jason just wants to do his dramatic job.

A Stupid Batfam AU

Jason’s and Bruce’s rocky relationship is actually a pr move to make sure the rest of the batfam doesn’t get attacked by reporters and gcpd.

Essentially Red Hood, while liked by the Crime Alley citizens and other citizens as well, has a pretty bad reputation with a lot of the rest of the city. The GCPD hate him for his overt violence and the head incident. The Media hates him cause he’s what they all feared Batman would become and are constantly creating news stories on him. A lot of the other citizens are just scared of him cause sometimes his temper gets out of control. It’s not the best reputation.

Bruce and Jason have long since talked and settled their differences. Well, it’s more of a “I don’t approve of your methods but I will acknowledge you as a person who wants to help, but I will still dislike the guns. Also I missed you” from Bruce and “I’m not happy with a lot of your decisions but I also understand why you came to those decisions. I’m still mad but I now know that you missed me and I missed you too” from Jason. They’re better than they were originally and honestly that’s all they could hope for. Jason visits the manor more and is having fun being brothers to Dick and Tim.

Here’s the thing though… his reputation as Red Hood may have accidentally spread to the other Bats. A few team ups here and there (and the red bat on his chest) have made everyone assume that Batman is now working with Red Hood, a known crime lord. The media and GCPD were on them like flies on shit. Jim tries to calm down the gcpd with mixed results, but he can’t stop the media from blowing this out of proportion. It’s like the news channels from Dark Knight Returns, but worse.

Jason, who just got his family back, is fucking pissed. Jason is also dramatic as hell. Bruce was willing to just deal with this, but Tim is too new at this to be caught in the crossfire. Bruce was just gonna bench him out of fear until things calm down (he’s dealt with this before) but Jason brings up his plan to Bruce. Bruce isn’t as dramatic as Jason, however he is still absolutely dramatic. He agrees. So begins an epic fight between two ideals that ends two vigilantes at each other’s throats constantly.

Red Hood and Batman fight any time they are together, Red Hood is arrested by Batman on multiple occasions, and Red Hood always escapes leaving terrifying threats spray painted where the bat can see. (Jason and Bruce give each others shit for the pot shots they take and Bruce compliments Jason’s form when he gets a good hit in, Bruce gives Jason a heads up to the easier ways to get out of a police car and Jason ignores him going for the most dramatic ways, Bruce complains that the code Jason uses for his threats are obvious and he can just ask Alfred himself for cookies, why does Bruce have to be the middle man.)

The super hero community doesn’t really know this (cause they can be pretty bad actors at times, says Bruce) tis can cause problems. Superman and Green Arrow capturing Red Hood. Batman had to pull the “he’s Gotham’s problem give him to me,” which led to a hour of arguing to get Jason back. Tim’s friend have Red Hood on their hit list for what Hood did to Robin (Tim is over it but he does use this as a way to get back at his brother when he pisses him off) and Red Hood has to be on the Villain List to sell the act, so every hero ever knows the Red Hood is a villain. This leads to chaos.

There are still rough moments where Bruce and Jason still fight, but it’s better. Jason gets to hang out and play games with Tim. He plans overly dramatic fights with Dick (with full plot cause these two are so extra.) He helps Alfred in the kitchen again talking about books they’ve both read. He and Bruce talk again, they talk about their fears and what they’ve missed. It’s better, and that’s all that really matters.
