I am crying and going to politely ignore that this is true.
Batfamily nicknames (Because I will remain willingly ignorant):
Bruce Wayne: "B" (or occasionally "Dad" sometimes "Bruce") الخفافيش (by Damian and yes it is the exact name of "bat" I am multi-bilingual) Detective ( f u Ra )
Alfred Pennyworth (the immortal man): "Alfe"
Richard "Dick" Grayson: ("Dick" is more like his name soo) Big bird "Wing" "Dickie"
Cassandra "Cass" Wayne (not Cain): (like Dick but with Cass) "BB" "Mini-Bat" works to I guess
Jason Todd-Wayne: Jay, Jaylad, Jaybird, Blue Jay, Baby bird Dead man walking
Tim Drake-Wayne: Timmy ,Timabella, Timderly, Tim-tam (Yes I am aware that the 2 & 3 are supposed to be insults but I like them and I feel like a first they would be but then they would start not to be)
Damian Wayne: Dami, Baby bat, Demon brat (same idea as Tim with his nicknames) al-witwat (that bat flaping sounds((love that idea)) )
Steph Brown: Steph (Ov) "S" (by Cass when she Signs) Bruce's future child
Barbra Gordan: "Babs", "O" "Babe" (as a joke from Dick and only he says it)
Jim Gordan: Detective "hn" ( guess how says this) Jim-Jim ( no idea who would call him this but oh well)
Fun fact: Canonically, nobody in the batfam has been called 'baby bird' or 'baby bat'. Apart from Duke. They have always been Duke's nicknames.

Here it is:
The Bats were dead and Dick was the only one left alive. He had nothing left for him so why shouldn’t he join them? Waking up back in time was not the plan but Dick wasn’t complaining. He finally has his family back and he will not lose them again. Robin has always been able to do what Batman couldn’t. It was okay that Bruce won’t kill. Dick wouldn’t ask him to compromise his morals. But he had no such restrictions. He doesn’t mind killing, getting his hands dirty, and being a monster if it means his family is alive. . Or a Dark Dick Grayson who is just a tad overprotective of his family. Just a tad.
Do you think Jason if given the chance to go back in time before his death he would try to adopt Tim. Like his past self is out the Manor then he goes back in time (in his past body). While Bruce is panicking because "Oh no his (small baby) son is gone." Jason is like "Hey you know what is a good idea? To go and essentially kidnap (is it kidnapping if he is your brother?) my (future) baby brother!!"
Know Bruce is standing there trying to understand why his son ran away to kidnap their neighbor's kid and insisting he should adopt him?
And how is he going to explain to Dick that Jason adopted ( for him) another kid???
Jason is for sure going to get the rest of his siblings but one at a time.
(Know how is Jason going to convince Bruce to take him to the middle east without being suspicious and where could Cass be?)
it's really funny to me that —in my head— bruce actually stopped 'adopting' children after jason. like, he adopted dick and jason. that's it. the rest? oh, the rest adopted him. like, steph literally showed up at his door and wouldn't leave. and tim blackmailed him.
oh, fly me to the star
me searching the stephanie brown/cassandra cain tag on ao3 for fics actually about stephanie brown and cassandra cain
man i wish that robin having a hood started sooner, because like it’s so cute??? they can be trying to make damian crazy terrifying and i’ll just be like: ‘you’re so scary! yes you are! with your little hood and cape!’ idk dude im already so bad about dicks robin when he was small, but i could be soooooo much worse
Does it ever depress you to think about how Stephanie's entire life has been a quest to prove to everyone else and to herself that she's more than her own shitty circumstances and the conclusion we were apparently intended to take away from it was no, no she isn't. She can work a thousand times harder than everyone else and she can do everything right but as far as the narrative is concerned she will still never be anything more than the daughter of a failed bank robber.
When referring to Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian:
Batboys doesn’t work cause that includes Duke
Robins doesn’t work cause that includes Steph
So I propose a new and improved name:
It’s straightforward, it’s classy, it rolls off the tongue, it’s in character for all of them
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk
@vinelark you know what’s up. the art style is half the reason why I constantly reread cass’s batgirl run
I know he’s just lying to protect his secret identity but I’m sobbing over the idea of Jack Drake being the Tony Hawk of philanthropists in Gotham
The way Tim and Steph actually share one singular braincell. . . when they are in each others presence neither of them are ever capable of using full brain capacity for more than 30 seconds
Stephanie: Cass isn’t just my best friend, shes my baddie from another daddy
Jason: . . .
Stephanie: Oh dear god why did I say that
~
Duke: What’s wrong with Tim?
Damian: The idiot took NyQuil instead of DayQuil by accident but refuses to sleep because he’s got work in an hour
Damian: He’d probably be fine if he hadn’t taken twice the recommended amount too
Damian: He’s gonna pass out any minute, wanna watch with me?
Duke: Hell yeah
Duke: Tim! How’s it going dude?!
Tim: I CAN SMELL THE RAINBOW
~
Dick: I’m really not that sunburned
Barbara: lobsters aspire to achieve that color Dick
Dick: At least my skin actually has color
Barbara: It’s not my fault I’m translucent!
Damian: You can’t talk you flat ass!
Stephanie: I may be part of the itty bitty titty committee, but i am NOT part of the itty bitty ass committee so shut your mouth
Damian: Oh sureee whatever you say
Stephanie: 38 inches Damian. 38 INCHES! that’s bigger than cass’s head
Cass: It’s true! we measured :)

Roy: My friendship is your birthday present!
Jason: Does it come with a receipt?
~
Dick: This is a circus, a certified circus
Dick: And I would know, I traveled with one for 6 months when I was 19
Donna: You know I always forget about that
Wally: Yeah you’d think it’d come up more
I’d tell them you said that, but they really don’t need that kind of ego boost
Dick: Woah! What’s with the face?
Jason: It’s Bruce. He never leaves me alone! I swear he’s so far up my ass I can feel him in my ovaries
Dick: You don’t have ovaries?
Jason: Exactly
~
Tim:
~at 3 in the morning~
Tim: Did you know that only 5% of the ocean has been uncovered? For all we know, there could wild JoJo Siwas in the ocean
Kon: And she attacks your boat and violently humps you
Bart: Or there could be glowing squids! That’d be pretty cool
Cassie: Have any of you ever heard of inside thoughts??
~
Tim: Why are you crying!? What’s wrong?!?
A very pregnant Stephanie: Sometimes when my eyes get lonely I cry because they’re friends with my tears :(
Tim:
i haven’t even touched the group chat yet, y’all aren’t ready for that one
Dick: Woah! What’s with the face?
Jason: It’s Bruce. He never leaves me alone! I swear he’s so far up my ass I can feel him in my ovaries
Dick: You don’t have ovaries?
Jason: Exactly

Tim:
They all yell at everyone else constantly about respecting their personal boundaries and shit but then they all turn around and track each other’s every move, like “i just wanna make sure you’re safe :(“
Love the idea of the batfam all being equally unhinged like Tim calls dick every two days with “why’d you take the cameras I use to stalk you down :(“ Dick is always placing trackers on everyone, Bruce just fucking shows up and watches his kids go about their daily lives, Jason’s got eyes all over the city to ping him if someone matching his families description pops up, Barbra is always listening and watching like love that shit
Bruce: Jason! No gang signs at the dinner table!
Damian: Stingrays are so smooth. They feel like Stephanie’s hands.
Steph: Was that a compliment? I can’t tell if that was a compliment.
Damian: OH I’M SORRY FOR TRYING TO BE NICE TO YOU ASSHOLES FOR ONCE! GOD, I MENT THAT YOU HAVE SMOOTH HANDS!
Steph: Thank you?
Damian: whatever
Dick: Oh don’t worry the bite marks are just from Tim
Barbara:
Dick: I swear that sounded reassuring in my head
The fact is, Batman might be the team leader, but he's not always around, and I firmly believe that every group of siblings is going to work out their own dynamic. Without further ado, the roles of the batkids among themselves:
Dick: keeps them together
Jason: keeps them motivated
Tim: tries to fix everyone
Damian: pushes them
Stephanie: keeps them honest
Cass: keeps them kind
Duke: steadies them
Stephanie: 2020 culture is sitting amongst piles of quarantine junk food in your room on a muted Zoom meeting you're only logged into for the attendance, jamming to the Reading Rainbow theme song in your pajamas while you watch your life fall apart

Batfamily car trip headcannons
Car trips are absolutely hilarious with the Wayne family.
Split into two cars; the quiet one and the rowdy one.
Quiet one consists of Alfred, Bruce, Damian, Cass, Barbara & Tim, generally.
Usually has the most people in it.
Anything to get away from possibly ending up in the other one.
Will end up getting outside fifteen mins early to guarantee this.
Rowdy car is Jason driving, Dick, Steph, Duke and once, Tim
First time Tim was very unwilling, Steph dragged him to that car so, whoop that looked like where he staying.
Biggest mistake of his life.
Bass music came on instantly, all the windows down and shouting-singing that was more like screaming.
Hadn’t even left Wayne Manor yet.
Tim made frantic throat slitting motions out the widow which Damian recorded whilst laughing.
A drink had already been spilt on him.
Cass felt sorry for Tim, who was squashed in the middle between Steph and Duke who were both singing off kilter.
Damian vlogged it all.
Tim becomes an even bigger meme as he looked like he was living a nightmare.
Duke also looked a bit scarred, it was his first car trip, he wasn’t used to all the noise...the constant noise.
Honestly? Probably his last in the rowdy car.
Bruce was going to have to buy a bigger truck to hold everyone, because no one wanted to go with Dick, Jason and Steph.
Rowdy car sung ‘I want it that way’ by backstreet boys four times in a row.
Dick looked like he was having the time of his life, Jason thought the whole thing was hilarious, Tim looked like he’d just landed on a different planet.
He never, ever wanted to go in that car ever again.
Give him Bruce’s quiet, air conditioned and leather interior car any day over Jason’s beat up car with suspicious stains on.
The next time Tim got there early, super early.
Damian had to go in the other car.
Well, that didn’t end well.
Drove past them at one point, surprisingly the car was silent, no flailing arms or vibrating beats.
Damian was smirking out the window, waving a freshly ripped AUX cord around.
Dick looked heartbroken until Jason turned the radio on.
They heard Damian’s screams even with all the windows closed.
dick grayson: but I mean, an arranged marriage? that’s just too out there for me to be okay with.
tim drake: oh, I don’t know, dick, an arranged marriage might be fun. you know stephanie and I have something like that. sometimes I’ll dress up as an opossum and scream at stephie until she gets up to smack my ass with a broom and then she chases me around our bedroom, and we-
jason todd: tim! tim! ‘arranged marriage’, alright, not 'deranged marriage’!
A Peter Parker In Gotham fic but not the Tom Holland-Peter but the 20 year old Peter Parker who has both collage, work and patrol. Who shamelessly flirts with both Nightwing and Red Hood as Spider-Man but literally dies when meeting them out of costume.
The guy is used to Deadpool and is not impressed or shocked at anything the Bats do. You d!ed? Okay and? You k!lled somebody with a ballon? Sound believable. You stalked me? Okay, what do you want me to do about it?
He is tired and done with everyone’s sh!t, he will befriend your villains and your neighbours. He will stop a fight by treating to call your and your enemies parents. Does he have their numbers, yes.
Batman and the Joker fighting:
Spider-Man, a hand on his hip: Mr, do you want me to call your butler?
Batman: You don’t have his number.
Spider-Man, phone in hand: Are you sure?
Alfred: Mr Batman, get home it’s dinner
Joker: Wtf
Bruce gets split into his core personalities. I think there was a Teen Titans GO episode where this happened with Raven.
An 8 year old, sad and lonely Bruce who cries uncontrollably unless someone holds his hand
A 17 year old Bruce Wayne who dances on tables and flirts with literally the whole Justice League (who are very uncomfortable with a 17 year old version of their friend flirting with adults)
A tired dad Bruce who lectures people, drinks wine and takes care of 8 year old Bruce
The Justice League and Batfam have to figure out how to keep them calm and alive until they can put them together again
Next time anyone would wonder what the hell is going on in Batfamily they just should remember the fact the first Robin was raised in a circus
ok so at this point there is a Titans A plot and a very small B plot. the A plot is about the whole team like a brother blood and hive storyline like in the animated tv show. and a Red Hood B plot that starts later in the season and its mostly about Dick, Jason and Tim.
so first change is that when Jason comes back he isn't himself the pit has changed him practically erasing any happy memories from his life so he is somewhere in-between a puppet and a rage filled mess. second change we have a time skip of around a year because i need batman to in six mouths swear off any new Robins, meet Tim drake(I'm keeping his comics origin), and then have Tim convince Bruce that he needs a Robin, and finale be Robin for around six months.
Titans are now in I think its Jump city like the animated tv show. and the team is tracking down brother blood, Blah blah blah you get the idea. the Red Hood emerges and he attacks Tim causing Bruce to send him to the Titans for his own safety. so the Red Hood stuff happens more in the background of the show with small updates from Bruce, Alfred, and Babs.
most of the crazy violent stuff that Red Hood does in the show is done by Blood and his group instead, including killing Hank. now we reach where the Red Hood become relevant, he’s had his under the red hood moment and is starting to calm down. we get scenes of him helping street kids, stopping crime, and there is even a sweet reunion between Saoirse and Jason.
Babs told Saoirse that Jason was alive as soon as she found out.
As Jason calms down Dick decides he needs to talk to Jason about attacking Tim. and there is some closure for Jason and the red hood character. this brings the Batfam to a more cameo/comedic area for the rest of the show.
for example the titans are breaking into a tech based villains lair being all serious and quiet. when suddenly spoiler(Steph) and robin(Tim) are there with a shopping cart and a list, Steph is absolutely roasting this villain and Tim is acting like a kid in a candy store with all of this stuff.
or
the Batfam hacking into the Titans coms so that Dick can settle a bet in the middle of a fight. The other titans are like what the hell but Dick just answers them and its like “no, Jay is right Tim, the Penguin didn't get plastic surgery, his nose is just like that.”, Jason ”HAHA! See I told you!”, Tim “Oh come on! Thanks a lot Dick!”.
Just the possibilities are endless
