all i want is for a batman and superman movie to be as gay as deadpool and wolverine
Damian: *hits a growth spurt and now he's taller than Tim and Duke*
Jason: No
Damian: *grows taller than Dick*
Jason: No no
Damian: *taller than Bruce and eye level with Jason*
Jason: No no no –
it's beginning to get concerning, dad
Headcanon that Bruce’s kids have all pulled the ‘you're not my father card’ at some point or the other and by the time steph rolled around he didn't even take it seriously
Of course, the first time dick said it, bruce cried himself to sleep. But by the eighteenth time, he was numb to it. “Dickie just eat your peas.”
The first time jason did it Bruce pulled him aside and said “i know Im not, but that doesn't mean i don't care for you jason.” by the twenty fifth time he just held up the adoption papers
The first time Tim said it Bruce laughed. “Tim, you literally forced me to adopt you. Yes I am your father.” Tim didn't bother to say it from then on, maybe muttering ‘you're not my dad!’ under his breath at the computer, just for bruce to whisper ominously ‘yes i am.’
When Steph said it, full of anger and hate and sadness and fear, bruce just followed her and said “you're right. Im not your father. And i will never be your father. But, if you'll let me, id like to be better.” After that any time steph said ‘ur not my father’ bruce would just respond with ‘never will be’
Cass said “your are my father” and left no room for argument
Babs said “ur not my dad or my father or even close to being any of it, but you are my mom.” bruce just had to accept that
When damian said it bruce just stood there for a solid fifteen minutes rebooting. Dick and jason fell out of their chairs laughing.
Duke specifically went “ur my dad! My dad! Boogie woogie woogie!’ and bruce was just like ‘bet aight.”
Talia: Okay, if I had Damian in the spring and it’s winter now… I forgot his birthday, didn’t I?
Harley (holding a teacup): Yeah, he said he’s used to it.
Talia (panicked): Oh my God! Quick, what do boys like? Fisher-Price is still a thing, right?
Harley (flatly): Tali, he turned twelve.
Talia (lamenting): I thought he was nine! Okay, I can work with this. I’ll call Bruce—no, no, he’ll be upset that I forgot his birthday and think I don’t care. But I do care! He’s my tifl. I spent thirty-six hours pushing him out of my body! My mind just gets foggy at times.
Harley: Talia.
Talia: If I had remembered, trust me, I’d throw him a party! Plus, I’m a busy woman. I am a businesswoman before I’m a fighter. That’s not me excusing my actions, though. Don’t say it is!
Harley (repeating herself): Talia?
Talia: I need to give him something good—
Harley (raising her voice): TALIA!
Talia (annoyed): What?!
Harley (passing Talia her phone, which is open to the Amazon app): What you see is his wishlist. That’s the stuff he wants as gifts. You don’t have to buy everything, just one or two items.
Talia: Oh bless you, Harley! Huh, he has a lot of books in here. I shall buy them all!
Talia pulled out her phone and began adding every book she saw on his wishlist to her Amazon cart. Harley shrugged, sipping her tea.
Two weeks later, Damian received numerous packages from Amazon filled with the books he had been hoping to get. He blinked, unsure of how to react. But what stood out the most was that Talia had also bought him the ship Lego set he wanted.
Damian: Hm… She really went through my wishlist for this. If she got the notification that the packages were delivered, she should be calling any second now.
His phone rang two seconds later, right on cue. He answered with reluctance.
Damian: Don't speak yet. I just wanted to say thank you for the gifts. Now you can react.
Talia (sweetly): I get you the best because you’re my precious twelve-year-old, and I knew you turned that age, but it’s been crazy busy dealing with business and my father.
Ra's: Hey!
Damian (small smile): Mm-hm, thanks anyways, Mother. I… love you.
Talia: I love you too!
Bawling my eyes out at the thought of Dick’s last bit of parting advice for Damian on how to be Bruce’s Robin (before he went back to blud) being “just pretend to fall asleep during a stake out. Trust me”
Of course Damian’s sceptical and it takes him a long time to even THINK about making himself look that vulnerable but his curiosity eventually wins and he pretends to fall asleep during a boring night.
He thought he was prepared for all possibilities but he was not prepared for Bruce to call out his name, sigh softly and scoop him up, not letting go of him even once until they reach his bed (he will never admit it but he actually did end up falling asleep). He was absolutely not prepared for Bruce to take his shoes off, tuck him in and hesitate just a little second before giving him a forehead kiss and leaving the room silently. He ends up actually falling asleep on the very next week

Tim, after a long patrol, collapses onto the couch and ends up falling mostly on Dick
Jason, in a lightly mocking tone Awww, look at the sleepy baby
Dick humms and shifts, trying to get more comfortable with the extra weight
Jason grins, sees the opportunity to annoy Dick, and leans on Tim to put more pressure on Dick, stretching widely, I’m so tiiiired
Dick too tried to realize Jason is being a brat, starts patting Jason’s hair Me too man, me too
Jason who is also exhausted from patrol feels his eyelids start to droop, begins to doze on Tim unwittingly
Tim is completely unaware
Tim later wakes up trapped not only between Dick and Jason but all their other siblings have joined the pile in some way
Tim glances sideways and sees Bruce sitting in a chair
Bruce, not looking up, Alfred has already sent the photos to Barbara
Tim huffs then goes back to sleep, knowing attempting escape is futile
