all their history reduced to nothing bc xbox decided that all their resources should go to the 36228th call of duty and a new fallout sequel bc now there is a show on and they need the hype to sell more. the future looks terrible. Thanks for nothing.
Mass Effect has finally downloaded. I’m ready!
Ok so I’ve decided to get the picture from the dc app rather than bend my poor trade copy to kingdom come (eyyy)
Just… this entire page!!! I love it!!! Dear god just look at them!!
Also I love it that anytime Bruce and Clark are seen fight, Clark always grabs Bruce by the throat. Like why?! It’s so funny to me.
The “I have your back. Always!” My god!!
THANK YOU 🙏 This is the exact one!!!
Can someone help me, I can’t remember what it was called but there was a fanfic where the batfam showed Duke the Discowing outfit for the first time.
Everyone including Dick was prepared for Duke to make fun of it but Duke said “it’s beautiful.” The batfam was shocked and Dick was delighted.
I need help finding it cause I wanna download it to my usb.
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

Vague Discourse Post (please avoid if you’re not interested, take care of yourself)
Does it ever piss you off when people will go “you’re terrible for liking this character, this character is awful and has done awful things. You’re just lying to yourself if you say that they are out of character in these moments”
And then they turn around and go “this story was awful they completely mischaracterized my favorite character. They would never do this thing. How dare you hate my favorite.”
I’ve just noticed this a lot in a lot of the fandoms I’m a part of. I feel silly getting upset about this but I just needed to get it off my chest.
I actually did a coughing laugh when I read Duke hitting kgbeast with a car. That man will never know peace again and I am here for it!
Thank you for the recommendations!! I’ve been on a bit of a comic slump (I’ve only been reading world’s finest) and I want to branch out some more.
I’m excited!!!
have u read any of Duke's comics? if so what's your favorite arc? I Really love the cursed wheel which I know is not everyone's fav but I just love the way that duke and Bruce have their mentor/mentee relationship they're so sassy to each other and they really enable each other's dumbass impulses XD
I still gotta read that one, that sounds so fun!!! I think the last one I read was the one where Duke was getting into a fight with some we are Robin people and trying to steal some joker serum. I don’t actually remember which comic that was.
I’m still sort of new to his character (I’ve been read We Are Robin and been learning through fan osmosis) so if you have any recommendations please give 🙏
Oh I’ve also been reading Batman and The Signal
I keep thinking about this AU where Bruce just stays in college and becomes a doctor but still gets dragged into the superhero world.
Ok so Bruce is a doctor and is known for never turning down a patient because he’s still Bruce and he just doesn’t want anyone to die. He still lives in Gotham which is still a horrible place. He still tries to help Gotham by donating and creating his Wayne foundation but it’s hard because the inherent corruption in Gotham hinders anything he does this way.
The mob is still super active in Gotham and a lot of Batman’s rogues still happen because a lot of his rogues just happen with or without Batman. Poison Ivy still becomes an ecoterrorist. Penguin still becomes a powerful mob boss. Mad Hatter is still just the worst. Tommy probably still tries to kill Bruce. Just so many of Gotham’s rogues still exist, except there is no hero to stop them in Gotham. People try, but Gotham is never kind to any hero. Bruce is immensely frustrated by all this but he can’t really do anything. Hell sometimes Lesly’s clinic (cause I feel like he would work there) gets harassed and extorted to help heal mob members and crime wars. He hates this a lot but he’s trapped. He doesn’t have Batman training or gear, the best he can do is help where he can.
However there are still other heroes in this world and Superman is literally just a quick flight away. The JL forms without a Batman and they see Gotham as a powder keg. So they try to help when they can and sometimes they get injured. It comes to a head when a Metropolis (Lex Luthor specifically) and some Gotham rogues team up to get rid of the main hero pain in their necks. Lex creates kryptonite bullets and disperses them to the Gotham rogues to use. Lex sees this as a win because he can get Superman killed without doing much and the Gotham rogues see this as a win cause they have a big weapon against Superman.
So Superman gets shot at with kryptonite bullets. They aren’t the best so they hurt him but only one really makes it through and hits his skin. He has to call in back up and the JL comes to help. I can image Wonder Woman or Flash getting there first. They have no idea what to do because holy shit Superman was shot. That shouldn’t happen! But they’ve heard of this doctor in Gotham that’s supposed to be really good. Maybe Oliver or Dinah suggest Bruce idk. So they take Superman to Dr. Bruce Wayne.
Dr. Bruce Wayne is at his manor with Alfred and a young Dick Grayson (because I firmly believe Bruce would still adopt the kids) and then there is a knock on the door. Alfred goes to answer and in barges the Justice League with a bleeding Superman. Bruce is immediately on his feet barking orders to the JL to get equipment he can use and telling Dick and Alfred to stay back. He doesn’t know what’s going on or how freaking Superman is bleeding out in front of him but he doesn’t care. Bruce realizes quickly that the bullet is cause Clark more pain so it can’t be a leave the bullet in there scenario. He gets the bullet out and asks the JL how to help Clark heal. They say sunlight helps but this is Gotham! It’s polluted and over cast all the time, he won’t be able to get enough sunlight. Bruce remembers a sunlamp they have from a science experiment for Dick. He tells Dick to go get it and they pray that it works. It does by some miracle, though it’s no substitute for actual sunlight.
The League is grateful for Bruce and Clark is also immensely grateful cause holy shit he got shot. The Justice League has to now figure out how these bullets got out in the first place and well Bruce can’t help but be nosy so he mentions that a few of his patients, the mob ones, let it slip that the higher ups got into contact with someone in metropolis and Bruce knows Lex hates Superman. So he helps them out a bit too.
And after that any time they need help with some medical issue they go to super doctor Bruce. He’s also still Bruce and can’t ignore his detective brain so he helps them with mysteries too from time to time. Idk I feel like this still needs more fleshing out but I think it could be funny. Or sad. Or both.
I LOVE being alive so I can be mediocre at SO many different hobbies
Just remembering that final fight with Zenos..... no one tell the Scions about this.
