There Are A Lot Of Fics About The Justice League Finding Out About Batman's Children Via A Series Of

There are a lot of fics about the Justice League finding out about Batman's children via a series of circumstances leading to Nightwing joining the League (usually against Batman's will)

and I LOVE this trope, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to imagine a situation where it doesn't happen like that. I want a situation where Nightwing joins the League, but he and Batman play it off well enough that the JL doesn't put them together. They notice that they work well together, sure, and Batman seems to trust Nightwing easier than the other new members, but no one questions it because Nightwing is good.

And the JL reaches a point where it's been months or even years and they still don't know.

Until Nightwing gets hurt. They've seen him hurt before, but he gets hurt. Bleeding out, affected by fear toxin, whatever, the point is, he's in bad shape. And Nightwing - strong, crooked grin, happy facade - screams. He screams for his dad - a word that he never uses, but that doesn't matter now, because he's scared, and he's hurt, and he just wants to go home.

And nobody knows what to do. Every single League member very quickly realizes that they know nothing about this guy. Everyone wonders about Batman because he seems so mysterious, but Nightwing always seemed so open, and it's only in that moment that they realize they have no actual information on him.

But that only last for a split second, because, of course Batman reacts first. He runs to his side and starts to stabilize his injuries while assuring him in a voice that they've never heard before, a voice that is distinctly not his Batman growl, that he's right there and it's all going to be okay.

And Nightwing... well, he stops calling out for his father. And he doesn't stay in the watchtower infirmary after that. When they ask Batman where he took him, he just tells them home.

Nightwing's back a few months later, and that's when they start asking him if he's really Batman's kid, and he just smiles the same crooked grin and says, Of course. You didn't know?

Digitally painted fanart of Superman, Batman, the Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter from the Justice League cartoon. Superman and Wonder Woman are flying while each carrying their teammates in various ways. Batman hangs onto Superman's back, dark cape flying out behind them, while Superman carries Flash by the scruff of his costume with one hand. Wonder Woman has J'onn J'onzz slung over one shoulder while hefting GL under her other arm. Superman and Wonder Woman both have neutral, focused expressions gazing forward, while the teammates in their arms dangle limply.

flinging your friends over your shoulder like potato sack. dangling them by the scruff stacking them up in your arms like laundry shoving them into your purse etc etc i love it

Screenshot from the Justice League cartoon essentially depicting the same characters and actions from the image above, viewed from behind the characters as they fly over a city.

Oh my goodness I understand the pain of drawing Batman. I draw Superman on the regular cause he’s so fun to draw and Wonder Woman is also incredibly easy to draw but for some reason!! Batman always hurts my brain to draw. I always make a bat blob cause I just can’t.

Edit: OHMYGOSH I FORGOT TO SAY THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! Your artstyle is wonderful and I love how you draw them!! Love Clark’s circlet!!

Really!! That’s so cool!! I love looking through the old comics and finding things that have probably inspired other things. Like I found a comic with a bunch of pills that gave people kryptonian powers.

Ok so in the new World’s Finest comics Clark gets a sidekick!!! His name is David or Boy Thunder

Ok So In The New World’s Finest Comics Clark Gets A Sidekick!!! His Name Is David Or Boy Thunder

Ok so I noticed this a while ago but I think David’s costume might be based off of Nova

Does anyone have issues watching movies? Cause for some reason when I go to movies I get super flushed. Hell sometimes I’ll get like this when I’m home alone with movies. This doesn’t happen when I watch long YouTube videos it’s so odd.

Ok one more for the night:

A small list of things I think Bruce would have in his utility belt. (This is inspired by lots of things including posts on Tumblr. Please go check out the people I mentioned.)

1. A extra cape (he will often wrap his cape around victims and then feel too bad to ask for it back so he just has an extra cape. Inspired by a Detective Comics issue.)

2. Horse biscuits shaped like bats (inspired by that tumblr post about the Trinity riding unicorns. One of the commenters noted that maybe Batman was giving the unicorn biscuits in stead of that being the unicorns name and that idea is stuck in my head. The post is by dangerousdan-dan and the comment is by raaaaaaaawr)(pls inform me if i missed an a)

3. Shark Repellent (we all know)

4. The Kryptonite Ring (we also all know)

5. Sugar free lollipops (from the Nightwing issue)

6. Glitter Smoke Bombs (Stephanie snuck those in with his regular ones)

7. Gel Pens (inspired by my own post cause I thought about it more and Bruce would absolutely use gel pens regularly just not glitter ones cause the ink feels rough after it drys and the glitter gets everywhere)

8. A Camera Baterang (from that one family photo comic)

9. Catnip and Cat Food (he leaves some out for Selina’s cats)

10. Pain Meds (for various reasons but these ones are primarily for the back pain he undoubtedly has forever after knightfall)

11. Medical Stuff of all types, yes they all have little bats on them. (This ranges from bandaids to menstrual pads. Inspired by a ditzybat post)

12. A bat recorder (just in case he needs to record any final words, for others or for himself)

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!?”
