Now this is my first time drawing Soundwave! My favorite solo mech :D
I can see this happening tbh
Batman has a very specific code that's on everyone's communicator that he warns the JL to 'Never tap into it unless I'm indisposed and the world is 2 seconds away from ending'
Fast forward a few years and batman is knocked out cold and the world is 2 seconds away from ending when one JL member rmbers batman's 'very important do not tap unless absolutely necessary' button
So obviously the JL taps it expecting some god or smth and who else picks up but a woman who's simultaneously yelling commands,tapping aggressively at what they assume to be a keyboard and calmly telling them that she's Oracle,that she's already linked every person on the battlefield's comms to the 'batfamily comms'(direct wording) and that she's sending reinforcements as they speak
Then,while the JL is still in shock,Red Hood the fucking drug lord lands beside them and starts shooting up enemies,Nightwing is futher back backflipping,Red Robin is doing his shit
A mysterious black cowled girl pops up beside them and starts gently telling(ordering) them to specific parts of the battlefield(Hal gets so spooked he screams),a fully purple girl is beating enemies up next to them,a guy in neon yellow is punting enemies to the ground.
And some random ass 10 y/o is screaming bloody murder as he incapcitates enemies thrice his size
I love how Clark’s entire internal monologue in this scene appears to boil down to, “Don’t drop the baby. Do not drop the baby. Batman will kill you if you drop the baby.”

Ngl I lost count of how many of these I've reblogged today... eh it's fine
Bruce: Congratulations, Jason! You’re the first of my kids to graduate college!
Dick: Yeah, first and only one for all eternity!
Bruce: *Ignoring Dick by sheer willpower* Anyway, what are you planning to do next?
Jason: I think I’m going to continue my education in English Lit.
Bruce: *nervously* Great. You’ll get a Master’s Degree, right?
Jason: …
Bruce: …right?
Jason: Actually, I’m going for a PhD.
Bruce: This is a terrible joke. You’re over the supervillainy, right, Jay?
Jason: Look, my application to GothamU’s PhD program was accepted!
Bruce: No child! Of mine! Will get! A PhD!!!
Jason: I’m hoping to be a literature professor at GothamU, if I survive long enough.
Bruce: *screams incoherently*
Dick: I think you broke him.
Batman, arresting Harley for the umpteenth time: You're going to prison, Quinn.
Harley: You know what I was thinking?
Batman: what.
Harley: That you don't send me to prison. *grins*
Batman:...
Batman: I have no idea what to say to that.
Harley: No, think about it! I could wear my sexy nurse outfit and you me and kitty could have some fun!
Batman: *sighs* As appealing as that prospect is,....
Harley: *low squeal*
Batman: No.
Harley: You need a therapist who can fuck you and tell you about your mommy issues at the same time
Batman: I don't think anyone ever in the history of humanity has needed that.
Harley: (begging) Come on, Bats. They drug me in there! It gets all...spooky sometimes. Not your kind of spooky, the bad kind.
Batman: *hesitating*
Harley: And they feed me pea soup! PEA SOUP!! *kicks a rock and starts crying*
Batman: Quinn, you should have thought of that before you ran away with Ivy and killed the CEO of FutureTech.
Harley, pleading: That was Ivy, not me!
Batman: Uh huh.
Harley: She said he was a plant murderer. And I gotta admit, I wasn't feeling too good myself about him dumping all that toxic waste in the Amazon.
Batman: When things like this happen, you come to me.
Harley: You've never shown interest in plant shit before.
Batman, pinching the bridge of his nose: I can handle it. I know how important 'plant shit' is to Ivy and you. It's important to me too. That's why, next time, before you murder someone, let me handle it legally by scaring the shit out of them first. Okay?
Harley: *hiccups* okay.
Batman: Now. I'll talk to the Arkham parole board about your early conditional release. But I will make sure they give you some truly, spectacularly, horribly disgusting community service.
Harley, desperate: No. Not the garbage route again.
Batman, smiling grimly: Oh it gets worse. Trust me. *begins typing into his phone*
Harley: Oh my god I think I'll just do my time. I'm not going into the trash cans, you don't know the kind of shit people throw out! I think I'll just take my meds and stare at the walls instead.
Batman, looking up from his phone: I'm afraid that ship has sailed. *smiles evilly*
Harley: Oh my fucking shit you monster!
Batman: Remember that feeling the next time your trigger finger itches to pop off a human being.
Harley, gritting her teeth: It's itching now, bitch!
Batman, smugly: Good.
Detective Comics Annual #3 - “Chaos Theory”

Jason entered the palace just as Damian was playing with blocks. When the toddler spotted his big brother, his face lit up.
Toddler Damian (jumping to his feet): Akh Jason! You're back!
Damian ran with his little legs, and Jason couldn't help but smile at the sight. Talia didn't have enough time to stop him as the little boy spread his arms wide, eager for a hug.
Toddler Damian (running towards Jason): Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Lift me!
Damian bounced up and down, waiting to be picked up. Talia and Ra's watched from a distance—Ra's with a look of disgust, while Talia simpered and sniffled with a smile at how cute her precious tifl was.
Jason: Magic word.
Damian (in a high-pitched voice): Please!
Talia (shaking her father): He said please! So precious!
Ra's (stepping away): Stop shaking me!
Jason placed his hands on his hips and chuckled before lifting Damian into the air, ruffling his hair affectionately.
Damian (eagerly): Hi, did you miss me? Did you miss me?!
Jason (lying): Hm... No.
Despite Jason's teasing, Damian giggled and hugged him tightly. Ra's attempted to speak, but Talia silenced him with a sharp jab to his neck, causing him to cough.
Damian: Did you bring me a gift?
Jason: I got some gifts for you, but I might need to rest—
Damian (high-pitched voice): Wait, wait! I want gifts... Please?
Ra's sucked his teeth at the emphasis on "please." Talia fought to suppress a smile as Jason walked off with Damian, patiently answering his many questions about America.
Jason: You're lucky you're so convincing.
Damian: Yeah!
I kinda really want a de-aged au where Jason “No More Dead Robins” Todd has to deal with all his brothers when they were first joining the Bat/Wayne family and has to try (and consistently fail) to keep them from becoming Robin.
Like there’s some random magic user who casts a spell for [hand wave plot necessitated reason here] and Jason is just chillin doing his Red Hood thing, but when the spell starts to take affect, Bruce is off world on some League mission so Jason ends up having to handle it all on his own.
First to show up is Dick. Or rather, tiny, grieving, baby Dick. Jason’s first surprise is that baby!Dick isn’t the cheerful, happy, carefree kid Jason always assumed he had to be. No, tiny Dick is angry. He’s bitter and snappish and hell bent on finding—and killing—his parents’ murderer. At first Jason is selfishly pleased to find out Golden Boy wasn’t quite so golden after all and encourages getting vengeance, take that, Bruce! This only lasts like a day, though, because Jason realizes, feelings about the One Rule and his personal moral code aside, encouraging a nine year old to kill is seriously messed up.
So Jason’s next step his to take Dick back to his second favorite safe house and tell him to stay put while he tracks down whatever/whoever did this to Nightwing and fix it.
This plan hits a snag because guess what tiny, nine year old Dick does not do? Tiny Dick does not believe Jason when he says he’s his brother from the future. Tiny Dick doesn’t care if he is in the future. He’s still going to find his parents’ killer and end him. Some guy with a weird helmet isn’t going to stop him. Jason discovers this when he runs across tiny Dick leaping between buildings in Crime Alley while on patrol.
Jason drags him back to the safe house and locks all the doors and windows. He runs across tiny Dick again three blocks later. He returns Dick to the safe house. Dick is out again in less than an hour. How is this possible?! Jason is Bat and League trained, he knows how to secure a location, how can he not contain ONE (1) small circus child?!?!!
And yet. Dick keeps escaping. He has tentatively accepted that he isn’t in his time and his parents’ murderer isn’t around at this time for him to confront. But this has only led him to the conclusion that he needs to help Jason fix this so he can go back to him own time and get his revenge. No, Jason cannot stop him.
(Really. Jason can not stop him. Jason is starting to wonder if the creation of Robin was much less Batman taking on a child solider as his partner and much more a desperate attempt to keep eyes on an insane child escape artist.)
Then baby Tim shows up.
Keep reading
This is 100% smth Jason would do SPECIFICALLY to fuck with Tim
Jason: *icing cake he baked* Tim: oh, cool. Can I take a picture? That’s really pretty. Jason: uh, sure? Why? Tim: to post it on insta. Jason: *stops icing cake* what’s insta? Tim: Tim: *look of slowly dawning horror* you died. Oh my god you died— Jason: *muttering* I thought we already acknowledged that. You know, quite explosively acknowledged it Tim: *completely speaking over him* DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A SNAPCHAT IS? FUCK— Jason: dude you’re hyperventilating
Oh you KNOW swapped!Soundwave lets his kids get away with ANYTHINGGG nobody's safe 🙏
oh yes he does
I just know Gordon internally dies every time someone in the bullpen has some gossip magazine with Batman's highly distinct jawline splashed across a cover or spread.
