That Moment When You Realize Bruce Wayne’s Canon “favorites” Aren’t His Favorites… Their His

So as someone with glasses with VERY poor eyesight I actually want to know if this is acknowledged in the older comics, Barbara’s eyesight. Babs is honestly a badass already but I want to know if the comics acknowledge her eyesight, at first I thought her glasses were like computer or reading glasses then I remembered Barbara never really takes them off unless she’s Batgirl.

If someone like me with a lazy eye and horrible astigmatism, you know you basically kinda are flying blind without your glasses. Honestly it’s not as bad as some shows make it out to be but it’s still hard to see. I also assumed if she has bad eyesight maybe she was wearing contacts but that would mean she could never let anyone punch her in the face because they’d get in her eyes.

In like shows like the 2004 series Babs has the white out lenses like Dick and Bruce so I assume she has lenses in her mask. But in the comics the batgirl suit doesn’t have that so I can only guess she’s not wearing anything.

If that’s the case Babs has become like 10x cooler for me and kinda a missed opportunity to see her struggles with poor eyesight on top of her legs.

Idk if anyone really cares just me as someone who struggles without my glasses thinks it’s really cool. Just because you have glasses doesn’t mean you’re magically fixed but your not helpless ether, and I love it when stories acknowledge it.

Tumblr’s reminder, PLEASE STOP SAYING TERRY IS A CLONE HES AN ATTEMPTED BIOLOGICAL CLONE BY TRYING TO GET THE EXACT VARIABLES THAT MADE BATMAN HAPPEN, WHICH FAILED, HE ISNT A LITERAL CLONE OF BRUCE. WALLER LITERALLY SAYS HE ISNT, TERRY IS JUST BEING A DRAMA QUEEN TO WHICH WALLER SHUTS HIM DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES.

OH AND HE HAS A BIOLOGICAL BROTHER THAT IS EXACTLY LIKE HIM! NO. HE WASNT BORN IN A LAB, HE HAS A FATHER AND MOTHER! PLUS THE ONLY REASON HES RELATED TO TERRY IS BECAUSE TERRYS DADS DNA WAS ESSENTIALLY TURNED INTO BRUCES.

This is like saying Damian is a clone of Bruce because someone raised him with two parents kinda like Martha and Thomas therefore he’s his clone.

Please justice for Matt just existing and Terry being Bruce’s son.

Also Wallers plan sucked in the first place due to the fact she was trying to make a second Bruce but failed at the first step, BRUCE IS A BILLIONAIRE TERRY ISN’T, HE DOESN’T HAVE ANYONE LIKE ALFRED PLUS HE HAS A LITTLE BROTHER.

She was likely to get “yeah I have other responsibilities, mainly the fact I’m taking care of a kid” and “I am vengeance” Jason Todd style rather then Bruce.

Thank for coming to my “justice for Terry” Tedd talk.

@ all my mutuals

Would Batman, the Robins and Batgirls be like ghosts hunting Gotham everyone knows are ghosts or like they think their cryptids?

Also here’s some ideas for this how each one of the kids dies for sadness.

————

Dick’s death

Dick dies the same night as his parents, he didn’t wait and preformed the stunt with them. Bruce finds him alone and confused not realizing he’s dead.

I don’t really see Bruce aging you can disagree.

Gotham starts seeing these spectators of two boys scaring criminals and playing in Wayne manor (which has been left abandoned since the Wayne’s death). Everyone knows not to go near the place because of hearing the disembodied giggles of two boys or foot steps running through the manor at night. Sometimes they say past dark you can see two small heads peaking out of the upper floor windows.

Meanwhile Dicks having the time of his life in the manor. As it doesn’t look abandoned to ghosts. So Dick thinks only his parents died but Bruce a much older spirit knows that isn’t the case. But he tells Dick he’ll help him try to take down his parents murder. (Which really isn’t the case, it’s really avenging his own along with his parents death)

Dick does find out he’s dead eventually, mainly because no one ever seems to notice him or Bruce when they save them. So Bruce let’s the cat out of the bag, and Dick is reasonably upset.

————

Jason’s death

Jason dies little match girl style, (if you know you know) he freezes. Jason doesn’t move on the for the fact he never really got to live so to speak. So he just hangs out in the Gotham alleys, scaring poor citizens as he goes.

Jason becomes his own kinda cryptid. The spirit of crime alley.

People think he’s Bruce for a long time because Jason’s death was so underwhelming no one knew he died till some homeless people found his corpse due to the smell. Because the Wayne’s were a more prominent death to happen in that area, they all think it’s the ghost of the lost Bruce Wayne who hunts the streets of crime alley. Rather then Jason Todd, the nobody street kid who died as he lived, alone, cold, and hungry. (Don’t mind me I might low key cry at this)

When Bruce finds him he doesn’t know what to do, there’s no attachment he has other then Gotham itself, how is he supposed to help this kid move on? So Bruce just takes him in hoping Jason will just kinda, burn himself out. Ghosts can do that right? Dick tries suggesting Jason has any idea what he could be attached to or what purpose he has and Jason just shrugs. He has no clue ether, he was kinda hoping when he died he’d be free from Gotham forever to be honest.

So

Bruce makes him his second Robin in hopes Jason can find something to do while they find his attachment, that won’t make him go off his rocker. Because ghosts go crazy without something to keep them busy.

Jason gets resurrected at this time, Bruce and Dick are both sad and relieved thinking they finally found the thing Jason was attached to after the finding his mom. But that isn’t that case.

————

Tim’s death

Tim dies alone, mainly due to neglect. It wasn’t out of malice intent, but Tim died trying to find out clues about what the “spirits of Gotham” (Bruce, Dick and Jason) are. He died due to an accident, but his parents soon followed. Finding out he was missing just as they got home, going out to look for him. However Tim gets caught in a villain attack and dies. They both later die due to their grief.

Tim was actually very likely to pass on, but got lost for a split second. While simultaneously gaining a attachment to Bruce and Dick because this last thought was connected to Batman and Robin.

When Tim tells Bruce and Dick he knows he’s dead, but he can’t seem to move on. Dick asks “well what was the most important thing to you before you died?” And Tim just responds “You two.”

And that creates a new “aw crap” moment between Bruce and Dick because “how to make a kid pass on when his most important thing was two ALSO dead kids?”

So Tim, Dick and Bruce come to the conclusion, Dick and Bruce have to pass on or Tim is stuck forever in Gotham. Tim ends up helping because it’s the right thing to do, but slowly grows to resent the fact he’s stuck in Gotham.

————

Barbara’s death

She dies her first night as Batgirl, Dick and Bruce tried to save her but she fell to her death from a rafter. Her attachment was to Gordon, mainly to keep him safe. Because that’s something that couldn’t be resolved over night, Dick and Bruce let her stay in the manor out in the hope it will keep her stable and not wondering around Gotham.

She’s mostly content, she visits Gordon and tries to bring him some sort of comfort after her death. He’s become consumed by work.

————

Cassandra’s death

She died as soon as she made it to Gotham. It wasn’t any spectacular she died from starvation, she couldn’t speak so she couldn’t ask for help or get help. She didn’t move on because she was terrified to do so, her attachment become her want to do better then she did in life and make up for what she did.

The others get her prospective and offer that maybe if she does good maybe she’ll end up in a better place after she moves on. Cass soon learns she probably won’t ever leave. Not because she can’t, because she wants to do good. Being able to make up for her mistake is the best things she could’ve asked for.

Though she lives in constant fear that one day her father will find her body and she’ll be forced on the run again, because he wants to bring her back.

————

Stephanie’s death

Steph dies because of her dad. He ended up killing her by accident and she felt resentful of him and that resentment turned into her attachment.

She was definitely all for murdering her dad but turns out killing someone for killing you doesn’t land you in very happy places when you die. Even if it is justified. So more for her own safety, the others discourage her from killing for her own sake. She doesn’t listen at first till everyone puts it into perspective how bad hell is.

Steph eventually learns to have mercy for him, but it takes a while before they lock him up. Steph became more motivated by her father killing her making her mother fall deeper into her drug addiction.

————

Dukes death (I’m mixed on this one)

Duke actually dies during the initial Riddler attack. His attachment became his parents similar to Barbara to Gordon. He was dead set on saving his parents, creating an attachment to always keep them safe.

Turns out, metta powers work even in death.

Because they knew he wasn’t going to move on easily or sit and do nothing they made Duke one of them. He’s actually the only one people widely know in Gotham. But no one thinks the phantom is a hero, most people think Dukes a trick of the light so to speak. Or something like that.

————

Also each one of the kids have one area they hang out besides the manor.

Dick hangs out around Halys circus

Jason and Bruce of course hang around crime alley

Stephanie and Duke hang around their parents places

Barbara hangs around Gordon and the GCPD building

Cass doesn’t really have a place but she does occasionally goes to the place she died out of paranoia

And after the Drakes move in close to Wayne manor Tim hangs around it watching over his parents

————

As for Helena, Harper and Kate. They still exist there’s just no vigilante in the area that has inspired them to dawn the mask. But Kate and Harper have been inspired by the myth of the “Spirits of Gotham” before to consider it.

————

Now as for the main idea of this Au who are most for and whose the most against it?

Team: Hey I wanna be alive again

Duke, Steph and Babes

Team: I don’t know, maybe?

Tim and Dick

Team: I don’t wanna be alive again

Cass and Bruce

Ghost Batfamily AU where Bruce dies with his parents and simply never leaves and slowly over time he gathers the rest of his birds as they die in Gothams dirt.

Jason dies when he's twelve, 3 years later he disappears and a boy comes back to life in a pit of green.

Red Hood takes the League by storm because as far as they're aware there has never been a hero in Gotham, Jason is just desperate to find the children that had become his family again.

PLEASE if someone writes this make Jason and Dick start fighting over whose Robin while everyone is collectively confused I will LIVE for it.

I want a fic or something about the Batfamily where Jason and Dick de-aged back to their Robin days by like a wizard or some shit, then Damian and Tim have to look after them... except they mix them up.

There's two little boys with black hair and blue eyes, wearing the same pants-less costume, and both answering to the name of Robin, but one is all wide eyes and wide smile and one has a murderous anger in his gaze and demeanor, so they make assumptions that *obviously* the murder-y one is Jason and the happy little boy is Dick.

Then they get back to the Batcave and Bruce automatically knows which one is which and calls them by the right names. I just think it'd be a total mind-fuck for Tim and especially Damian.

I was hoping for him, but I was like “nah I’m gonna get Four or Twi, I like rabbits, pink and I’m sarky but I’m not gonna get him I’m sure.” And lo and behold I did.

Also the animal question was so hard, THEY HAD HEDGEHOGS AND RABBITS MAN!

There's a Link Quiz?!?! YES PLS!!
