au where the suspendium popped when clark had JUST started hero-ing and captain wanted to see who's protecting all the other cities in the country and this is the first time he's talked to superman. he doesnt know lil vros clark,, đź’” the gods do tho and takes advantage of that by giving superman a heart attack
my drawing pen got lost so i went back to my roots and used a mouse to draw this LMAOO its not my best work but its something
Tell me why(ain't nothing but a heartache)I had a dream about Superman???
and it wasn't even funny. like-this mf was crushing on everyone in his team for sum reason.
And I mean everyone.(pretty sure he did a musical number on it, I remember Kelly mf Clarkson interviewing him before they break off to sing abt it and it's trending faster than well-something)
and then the scene cuts to Clark and Lois, idek what's happening anymore. THEN BATMAN!!! who is now twice the height of supes breaks in half. in half onto me, I "die", then the scene changes to a wedding??!!1!?
the entire justice League is there in wedding garb, with KON officiating??? in a Cinderella dress....idk either. then all of them kiss, catch on fire, melt off into Gorey pieces of meat....then we're in the raft!(marvel ref)
now i'm panicking(rightfully), I turn around and come face to face with-you guessed it-a disgusting, meaty mountain of all the heroes remains staring at me with a copious amounts of eyeballs.
It gets better, Trigon comes from...somewhere(idek anymore)and grabs the super mountain meat and eats it. just.like.that.
Then I wake up. The end.
i rlly wanted to share this because I don't want to be the only one to suffer with this bs, you're welcome<3
Bruce and Clark have a special rooftop, one that is high enough, with enough things to hide them from whatever can catch them, where they can pull the heroes personas off and just idly talk about anything.
The lights from the city reach them, but at the same time the moonlight gives them comfort. Their legs dangle from above, floor so far away, but both don't pay attention.
This rooftop was the one where they first met, where they had their first fight, where they first showed their identities, where clark met dick and all the rest of the birds, where clark told Bruce he got married to Lois, where Bruce said he was dating Selena, where clark said he had a son with Lois, where clark said he was divorced, where Bruce told clark about his encounter and assault with Talia, and then where Bruce showed Damian.
That rooftop held memories of every important matter in their life, that rooftop witness a dictionary of emotions expressed by the both of them, that rooftop their sanctuary.
Today was no different. Cowl off, persona off, feet dangling, postures relaxed and faces happy. Clark was telling an anecdote from work and Bruce was laughing that laugh that was deep and genuine, that clark had the privilege to hear.
Clark was looking at Bruce laughing and speaking, his eyes soft and a turn up of lips always present. They were best friends, close partners and a constant presence in each other's lives. The first person to always enter his mind was Bruce. He hadn't realize how Bruce dictated his life without even trying, Clark was always thinking about Bruce and what Bruce thought.
Clark never realized that what he felt for Bruce was more than just a friendship. But now, looking at the fair skin illuminated by the city lights and perfected by the moonlight, eyes wrinkled from laughing and pale blues gazing on his own, Clark felt something explode inside himself, something that was stuck but finally made itself known.
Oh. I love this man.
Bruce had his head turn towards clark, about to ask what's wrong because of the stretched silence from clark, but he didn't get to say anything because clark leaned in with a fleeting confidence and kissed Bruce.
It was frightening, it was amazing. It was scary, it was wonderful. It was the end of the world, it was everything he asked for.
And when Bruce kissed back, oh, Clark wanted to float so bad and just let the wind take him because it was just like a dream.
It started off as soft, little nips here and there, their lips moving in a sync that rivaled their battle forms. They kept their hands to themselves, just focusing on kissing and savoring each other. Bruce pushed back, deepening the kiss and clark let him, willingly opening his lips to feel Bruce's tongue exploring and tasting, playing with Clark's tongue.
It felt like hours when they pulled back. Bruce was catching his breath because he was only human, and clark was catching his for a whole different reason. Both looked at each other, confirming and smashing any remaining doubts they might have left, before they both smiled and chuckled at whatever.
"Do you want to go back to the manor?"
Clark giggled "if Alfred allows me to."
"It's worth the try."
(I was inspired by this umikochannart on twitter and Instagram!! Plz check her out she has amazing artstyle and amazing superbat fanart!!!)
Bruce is a very independent person, always sure of himself, mature and responsible. Behaves like a grown man for every aspect of his life...until he's with Alfred.
Headcanon is that Bruce becomes a whole different person with Alfred. He's the only parental figure he had for a very long time, Alfred watched his grief, his rebellions, his growth and his emotions. Bruce couldn't hide anything from the man so he simply gave up and let himself...go around Alfred and behaves like a child (not the best term but ya know what I mean).
The scenario have is of when Bruce and clark short off their feelings and they go to the batcave where Alfred is waiting on his usual spot by the batcomputer. They are helding hands but clark is slightly behind Bruce, who has his cowl off, and is fidging on his feet, but clark is too (it's just facing ma and pa Kent bc clark also acts like a child with them)
Alfred: master Bruce, master clark I see you both are okay and well.
Bruce and clark nods at the same time
Bruce: u-uh can clark stay over? In my bedroom with me?
Alfred knowing that it's a genuine question, but loves to these side of bruce: yes he can, but I will be checking to see if you are doing something.
Both shake their heads furiously, before bruce assures that they will be only sleeping. And they do only sleep while holding each other.
And Alfred loves when Bruce does this, because it reminds him that Bruce never grew up from that small child fully, and he's always gonna need Alfred by his side. But the butler is also safe that Bruce won't never be truly alone when he's gone, with his kids and now clark, Alfred is very sure that Bruce will be fine.
I love the hc of clark having a massive very obvious crush/in love with Bruce...but what happen Bruce having the obvious crush/in love with clark. More like in love bc at this stage of their friendship Bruce just wants to dive into Clark's pants like a wild animal.
Clark: *talking about a mission off world*
Bruce: *on the inside* omg!!! His curl is extra curly today!!! And his eyes are so blue!!! Omg he's looking at me!!!
Clark: what do you think, B?
Bruce *inner bruce: omg he called me b again!!!* yes, we can always contact the lanterns-
But funny enough his kids clock him so fast and start making fun of him off the bat that Bruce starts to regret ever having adopt them.
Clark: *talking with zatanna normally, at a normal social distance*
Bruce: *glaring a different glare because why are they so close*
Dick: you do know that they aren't flirting?
Bruce: I don't know what you referring to.
Dick: riiiiight and you glaring at zatanna like a jealous girlfriend is totally normal.
Bruce: nightwing, I think you seeing things
Dick: and I think you should suck his dick.
Jason: *passes by Bruce who's reading the daily planet's clark article* jesus lord why don't you just fuck him once and for all??
Bruce: jason!
Jason: like you are obsessing over him like u do with a case!!! You even have superman merch on your bedroom!! Damn you always put monitor duty just you two!! Just fuck!! Make him my step dad already!!
Bruce: *too speechless and glad that Jason sees him as his dad* wait how do you know I have superman merch??
Jason: your history tab ain't that anonymous.
Damian: father please just ask uncle clark on a date, this is getting ridiculous!
Bruce: *making heart eyes at clark while he's interview a random celebrity in their gala* I think you are seeing things damian, I do not like clark that way.
Damian: yeah and batcow is a bull. Please, father, you are being an embarrassment by denying such obvious statement.
(Plz if someone knows a fic like this, plz plz plz share)
Superbat omegaverse (I like this fight me) where Bruce (it doesn't matter if he's an omega or an alpha) is called mom by his kids from the day one. It started with Dick as a joke, but it stayed and was passed down. It was even like a sign for when his kids were mad at Bruce, they would call his name instead of mom. When Jason came back, it took him a while to get him to call Bruce mom again, but when he did he felt the happiness seeping through their family bond.
So when clark was finally part of the family, things started to happen. Clark as always been there ever since identities were shown, and even before when batman and superman were just that. Clark was like their cool uncle, and the one that gives them hugs.
It was, surprisingly, damian who made the first slip up.
Damian: mother, can you sign this paper that the school sent?
Bruce: what's that about?
Damian: nothing that is important, the teacher asked it to be signed.
Bruce: Damian I won't sign something that I don't know what it is.
Damian: *looking incredulous and turning towards clark* Father can you signed it?
*Bruce and clark not saying anything about the title*
Clark: s-sure damian, I can do it.
And from then on they slowly start referring clark as father, bc they saw how he became a permanent figure in their life and how better Bruce seemed with clark now. So now Bruce and Clark are Mom and Dad in the manner.
I see alot of batfam being possessive over their bfs....but how abt the bfs being possessive over the bats??
The bats are popular both sides of their jobs. Heroes fawn over them, in galas they are the center of attention and that sometimes sparks a possessive tingle inside their respective partners.
QUEUE THE SCENARIOS
Superbat
Bruce was in his usual situation during galas like this - surrounded by many of the billionaires e millionaires that wanted a piece of attention from THE Bruce wayne.
Bruce had that charming smile, the lidded blue eyes and the slight messy hair, the perfect image of handsome playboy he meticulous preserved. This particular crowd had many handsome men - tall, good smile, well dressed- and beautiful women - elegant, good make up - and they were all around Bruce age or younger.
Clark was not liking this at all.
Usually, he wasn't the jealous possessive type. He trusted Bruce, both in and out of costume. He knew that the playboy persona was just a fake mask and a way to maintain his hero identity hidden. They have been together for a long time, friends even longer, so clark had a lot of trust in Bruce.
But this galas always makes clark uncomfortable because of how people interact with Bruce and he doesn't know how long will he be able to stay put and not do something stupid.
"Your face says everything" Yes Lois was with him because she's reporting on the gala. More like annoying clark but who cares.
"I don't know what you talking abt."
"You are reeking with jealousy"
Clark looks at her and gives up, bc he can't hide shit from her "Yeah Lois, he's surrounded by handsome, rich people, of course I'm jealous"
"Okay then why don't you go there and go get your man? Everyone knows you two are dating, so just go there and snatch him"
He was abt to protest when she just ruffled his hair even more, letting the curls drop and open the button of his cream colored shirt and told him to take off the jacket.
"Why?!"
"You wanna go seduce Bruce with a checkered jacket?? Jesus, we don't need your Smallville boyscout we need clark who wants to fuck bruce"
Jesus Lois could be so crude sometimes, and clark was from Kansas. But she was right. Clark looked over to the crowd and saw one man - one that had been inching over to bruce little by little - putting a hand on Bruce's arm and letting it drop to the side of Bruce's waist.
Nah, fuck it. Clark was pulling out his Kansas farm boy. No one touches Bruce like that.
As he made his way over, Clark open another button of his shirt, pulled his curls even more over his face and let his glasses slide just a bit to rest on the bridge of his nose.
Clark slides behind Bruce, arm snakes around his waist, pulls him away from the man into his chest and smirks at his surprised face.
"Hey, darling!" Clark's rolls his tongue the way Bruce likes, letting some of the accent slip just to hit home faster.
Bruce blinks once, twice, loss from words and trying his best to not melt on the spot "h-hey, clark"
Clark pouts a bit, tilting his head and pulling the puppy eyes "I was over there all alone while you were here talking with all this people, I missed you sweetheart"
"O-oh" Bruce clears his throat "I'm sorry clark, I didn't mean to leave you alone"
"It's okay, you know, but I think it's time to give me some attention. Well, if you excuse us, I'm gonna take him away for a bit" clark leans forward and whispers semi loud for those close by to hear "I gotta make sure you know who owns you." And smiles, all sweet and charming, pulling a stunned and red face Bruce from the crowd.
"Clark-"
"Shut up. We gonna go to your bedroom, you gonna strip and I'm gonna fuck you until I feel like stopping." He looks at Bruce all serious "and you know have stamina for it"
Bruce just nods, dumb and horny and not caring for anything else.

(If there's any other bat ship I should held, just say!!)
(I'm hyper fixating in this ship I'm sorry)
Jason: me and roy are dating.
Damian: what kind of joke is this, jason?!?!
Jason: it's real, demon brat.
Damian: I refuse to believe that someone related to me committed such atrocity by fornicating with such individual!
Jason: what?
Damian: I think you should start finding funnier jokes, jason.
Jason: I'm dating roy.
Dick: Wft?!?! Why is my friend who's older than you dating a child?!?!
Jason: this feels familiar
Dick: is he threatening you?!?! Omg I'm going to beat the shit out of him right now!
Jason: stop, please, keep those weapons away!
Dick: I'm going to kill you roy harper!
Jason: me and roy are dating.
Tim: are you sure that's your choice?
Jason: what?
Tim: *pulls a folder out of nowhere* I have hundred better options than roy. Here this one has a pharmaceutical company and is a bottom.
Jason: yall are crazy.
Jason: I'm dating roy.
Bruce: Oliver's kid?!?!
Jason: yeah
Bruce: *tears up a bit* my small child is dating a queen kid??
Jason: I'm a grown man!?!?
Bruce: *head in hands* my small child is with a disappointment.
Jason: this is getting ridiculous!
Jason: I'm dating roy.
Alfred and clark: *look at each other*
Alfred: is this recent?
Jason: it's been six months.
Clark: does he makes you happy?
Jason: *blushing a little* yeah
Alfred: well then, master jason, please bring him over for dinner next Friday, I'd like to meet the one that makes my grandson happy.
Clark: *nodding* yeah I wanna meet this roy!
Jason: *tearing up* tHanK YoU
We all know and like our bashful, shy, nervous and righteous superman. The sweet man that is always careful with everyone, makes sure he doesn't curse or yell, is a nervous bean when it comes to sex and sex talk.
But ya know what I like more?? Unhinged, slutty, pouty mouth Superman that only gets like this when he's triggered or around the bats and birds. Bc yes for me Clark is poetic at dirty talking, can talk like a true Texans farmer, curse like someone stole his cow and Bruce absolutely loves it.
*On JL meeting, clark stressed and tired bc of the Planet, his kids and the bat kids, one thread away from breaking*
Green lantern: *yapping about an idea that makes no sense*
Batman: *ignoring and tapping away on his tablet*
Flash and Green arrow: *whispering to each other*
Superman: *head hurting and tired of everyone bullshit* hal, for the love of fucking God can you shut the fuck up if u have nothing good to say? Jesus! Say something intelligent for once!
Hal shuts up looking incredulous, diana looks amused and bart and olliver look slightly scared. And if batman softly curses because he feels his face heating up, it ain't no one business.
Superbat cuddles!!! (Idk how to draw backgrounds )
I really like the hc of Bruce giving star stickers for those who behaved well (as well as they can be) and taking them if they misbehave, the kids make a competition out of it and make fun of those who lost a star.
Bruce: this week's stars goes to...
Batkids: *all looking at Bruce*
Bruce: Dick, Tim and Cass.
Damian: Father! I do not approve of such thing!
Bruce: you don't have to approve anything damian. Dick did a great work in BlĂĽdhaven and didn't threaten more than 3 people, Tim completed his homework and helped me Crack two cases without any stalker tactics, and Cass helped Alfred bake which was very sweet.
Jason: I don't understand the rules to receive a star, but I'm with demon brat.
Duke: *raising his hand along with stephs* we didn't do anything wrong!
Bruce: you skipped patrol the whole week.
Steph: I was busy!
Bruce: *adding the stars to their cards* no you weren't, you were just lazy. *turns towards Jason and damian* you two do get one star taken away.
Damian: unbelievable! Father I will not allow it!
Jason: I behaved pretty well this week in my opinion.
Bruce: you threaten every villain we saw, waved your gun around like a maniac and had to be stopped twice from using the crowbar.
Jason: like I said pretty well behaved.
But this also extents to Sups. Clark has little stars that he gives batman when the man passed a whole JL meeting without insulting, indirect insulting and looking condescendingly or glaring at someone. He also has them taken away when he did those things.
Bruce: that wasn't a glare, I was merely looking.
Clark: B u scared Bart for the third time this week, and yes that was a glare.
Bruce: *crossing his arms* I think you are being unfair about this thing.
Clark: I'm sorry Bruce, but I have to take a star from you today.
Bruce: no.
Clark: *raising a brow* no?
Bruce: *starting to lightly jog away from clark* no! It's my star!
Clark: Bruce come back here!
I wanna paint a comics pages and I wanna start with DC so I wanna know what Batman, Batfam or Superman or any DC comic page should I paint!!!
I need a fic where Bruce is completely head over wheels with Clark. I'm talking both in his batman persona and Bruce persona.
I'm talking like Batman listening to Suparman talking with this usual resting serious bitch fave, but inside his swooning over Superman curl bc on that day was extra curly and extra cute.
I'm talking Bruce with a blank face while Clark is talking but inside he's behaving like a teenage girl talking with his crush.
I'm talking the bat kids noticing the smallest, most minimal most unnoticeable to the untrained eye changed in batman's posture when talking with superman and not letting Bruce live it down.
I know I'm asking a lot, and I would write this if I knew more abt them (I'm reading the comics) but I really wanna see out of character in love batman thank u
Baby Clark doodoodoodoodoodoo
Baby Clark doodoodoodoodoodoo
Baby Clark doodoodoodoodoodoodoodoo doodoodoo
I think even if had context to this. I think this would be weird
Oh my gosh I saw this while scrolling through Pinterest and had to post this
Bruce: You're right.
Clark: That's... That's an unusual phrase for you. Did you just learn it?
Diana: Why are you on the floor?
Bruce: I'm depressed.
Bruce: Also I was stabbed, can you get Clark, please.
Superman needs to be nice or else he isn’t Superman
“Superman is too nice-”Â
I’m going to piss on everything you love.Â
I approve Clark’s magical girl transformation into Superman
Everyone please say hi to my newest blorbos
The height difference is immaculate
I love it. Adorkable Superman! Bubbly Luz Lois! Cryptid hunter Jimmy!
I can feel the brain rot setting in
Fight Fight FIGHT!!!!!!!
No one is straight and no one is monogamous.
Coming out in the Wayne family would be:
Guys, I have something to say
What _______?
I-I am straight!
Say it an't so!?!
AND and monogamous!!!
OH my god no not from my ____
Damian, to Tim: I feel it is only right to tell you I am pursuing the kent boy.
Damian, nervously: ...and the batson boy.
Tim: Cool, I'm glad they make you happy.
Damian: what? why aren't you shocked!?
Tim: why would I be?
Damian: I'm courting two people at once!
Tim: so? They know about each other, right?
Damian: well, yes, but-
Tim: then that'd be kinda hypocritical, don't you think? With me dating Kon and Bernard and all-
Damian: you are.
Damian: what.
Tim: yes??? You knew this??
Damian, alarmed: I most certainly did not!
Tim: Damian, everyone in this family is poly, It'd be weirder if you were monogamous.
Damian: that can't be right, what about Todd?
Tim: Roy and Starfire.
Damian: Brown and Cain are monogamous-
Tim: with the way they keep chatting up the new intern at Wayne Tech? Please.
Damian: Thomas isn't in a relationship.
Tim: still poly.
Damian: Richard??
Tim: literally married to Wally and Babs, you were at the weddings, Damian? what the fuck??
Damian: Father-
Tim: is dating half the justice league, three villains and your mother, Damian!
Damian:
Damian, realising why that photo of the Wayne's and Alfred looked so romantic: my god.
Kal: Bruce, there you are — what in the world?
Bruce: Hey Kal.
Kal: Who are all these kids?!
Bruce: My Bat Family. I’m a dad now.
Kal: Since when?!
Bruce: Since 1940. Try to keep up.
Kal: I thought it was just the one! Hi, Nightwing.
Dick: Hi Superman! Yeah, I have siblings now.
Kal: And how’s that working out?
Dick: Most of us have died at least once.
Kal: …What?
Bruce: Hey Kal, check it out. This one’s super smart, and we have matching coffee mugs.
Tim: :)
Bruce: This one…
Cass: …
Bruce: Actually, this one scares me. And this one glows in the dark! Heheh!
Duke: :D
Kal: I can see that…
Damian: Father, I’m hungry. When are we having dinner?
Bruce: How many criminals have you caught today?
Damian: *holds up three villains* Is this sufficient?
Bruce: Eh, it’s good enough. Here. *tosses him a tofu hotdog, like just the dog part* Keep working on it. Three more and you get the bun.
Kal: *horrified silence*
Dick: Hmph! When I was Robin, I could catch at least five criminals before dinner.
Tim: Oh my gosh, Dick, no one cares!
Jason: No one cares about anything in this stinkin’ family. Where were you all when I died, huh?!
Everyone: *groan*
Damian: Quit being such a drama queen, Todd! It’s not like losing your life is the end of the world!
Tim: Yeah!
Damian: You shut up. The only thing you’ve ever lost is your spleen.
Duke: And his parents.
Everyone except Damian: *parental trauma* AH!
Bruce: I told you never to mention that!
Kal: I can’t believe what I’m watching… Does Alfred know about this?!
Bruce: Yeah, totally, he’s cool with it.
Kal: *narrowing his eyes* I have a very hard time believing that.
Bruce: Well, he works for me, so shut up.
Kal: What about Catwoman?! Does Catwoman know about this?!
Bruce: *nervous* Um… well…
Damian: *suspicious* Who’s Catwoman?
Bruce: *very nervous* No one.
Dick: Oh, he is so dating Catwoman!
Tim: Why didn’t you tell us?!
Jason: What if we don’t want a step-mom, huh?!
Bruce: Woah, hold on now —
Duke: Look, you’re upsetting Batgirl!
Cass: …
Bruce: Alright, that’s enough! We’re not gonna talk about this anymore! Because —
Everyone: *annoyed* — you’re Batman!
Bruce: No! Because I said so! …And also, yes, because I’m Batman! Cause Batman says so!
Kal: *smirking* More like because you’re Bat-Dad.
Bruce: >:(
Kal: And hey, where’s Barbara? I thought she was Batgirl?
Bruce: *nervous* She was…
Kal: …Bruce, what did you do?
Dick: Oh, don’t worry, Superman, Barbara’s fine.
Kal: Oh, thank goodness.
Jason: She’s just paralysed from the waste down.
Kal: Bruce!
Bruce: It wasn’t my fault! She’s not even technicially my kid!
Kal: Bruce…
Bruce: Oh, don’t you “Bruce” me. I’ll “Bruce” you… “Bruce” you in the face.
Kal: Okay, that’s it, you are not allowed to find any more sidekicks starting right now!
Bruce: *holding up Harper* What about this one?
Kal: No!
Bruce: *holding up Spoiler* This one still has a parent — I can just be a mentor.
Kal: No!
Bruce: Well, gee, Kal, what am I supposed to do with all the orphans in Gotham, then, huh?!
Kal: Do you hear yourself right now?
Bruce: I have a system, Kal!
Kal: That’s it! There’s only way to solve this!
*Superman grabs Batman, and they fly off*
*Batman then appears on the couch in Therapist Spider-Man’s office from Across the Spider-Verse*
Therapist Spider-Man: Would you say you carry any trauma from your childhood?
Batman: *leans over* Do I have a story for you.
