We Go Way Back

Who even is Batman - Part 3

Masterpost

Part 1 -> Part 2

I feel like "The Batman" (Matt Reeves-verse) universe shouldn't have too many superpowers and metas because it feels too disbelieving. I mean I'd believe if the metas were only a few group of people who had science experiments gone wrong. But the moment you add super powered aliens and gods into the mixture, it just sucks you out of the world.

if one more person comments on my "we need to keep payphones/public phones" post with "what we need are free phone charging stations and wifi hotspots, like in new york!" i am going to lose my mind. what do you people not understand about "not everyone has a smartphone" and "phones can break". how are these new concepts.

If this isn't how he's gonna be like (assuming that his character writing is gonna be horrible) in the caped crusader I'm making my own Batman series that they deserve

With the new announcements about the animated Batman series that's going to be coming out in August, a lot of Two-Face fans are rightfully worried about the direction this new iteration of him will go. Most of us think that he's likely just going to go back in the direction of him being a corrupt jerkass politician and fascist that's been a popular way to read him lately. But here's what I'm hoping for...

Harvey: The world is a horrible, dark, and corrupt place. The only way to make it in this world is to be just as evil and corrupt as the world around us. It's sink or swim. Eat or be eaten. And if people get hurt along the way, well, that's just the price of success.

Two-Face: Oh hush up, you. Hey there! So I'm Two-Face. Don't mind Harvey, he's just in a bad mood because I didn't let him shoot a toddler.

Harvey: The world's a cruel place and he didn't have what it takes to survive!

Two-Face: Shut up, Harvey! You're making us look bad! Remember how our therapist told you that you need to listen to me and my perspective more!?

Harvey: ...

Two-Face: That's right! Good! Sorry about that. I'm trying my best to help Harvey out with the whole... "Caring about people" thing. But that's alright! I'm just very happy to meet you and want to help you in any way that we can! I know that we're not the easiest on the eyes but I want to do whatever I can to the benefit of the city and the community around us!

Harvey: Ugh. You're so pathetic... We should just let the city burn.

Two-Face: And let people suffer and die!? No! That would be just... So sad... 😢😭

Harvey: Ack! Why do your stupid... Squishy... Soft feelings actually physically hurt!!!???

Two-Face: It's called empathy, Harvey! And you're breaking my heart right now! 💔

It's utterly magnetic when a character's rage is quiet and precise. When they don't scream and throw things but they just b r e a t h e and very very calmly aim their fury like an arrow shooting inexorably towards the target of their wrath. It captures my attention, I lean in close, I wait for the hit. It never disappoints.

redesigning batman characters with @yikesb3rg for our own batman AU :3

Wanted to try studying the concept art style but I also just really like his act 1 design, so…

I completely forgot to post these on here iehjsjgy

basically an art dump mixed in with ig rqs 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

What would the Wayne Family and the Bat Family post tiktok

Bruce: videos of him buying new outfits with the material girl sound over it because, according to one post, 'his kids said it was funny and he liked seeing them smile'. on his official account though (the wayne enterprises one) his 'social media manager' posts clips from interviews and soundbites.

Batman: does not have a tiktok.

Dick: posts videos of him either doing gymnastics or of him hanging out with his siblings. Most of the time he is throwing up a peace sign and then Tim and Damian are wrestling in the background and he captions it something along the lines of 'brothers drawing blood in Blud!'

Nightwing: posts videos of short self defense tips/poses, regularly collabs with Red Hood. (not that Jason knows this, Dick just sets up a camera and then goes and bothers his brother until he tries to punch him so he can teach people to block)

Barbara: Posts videos talking about accessibility (both whats available and what should be put in place). if one of the wayne's annoy her, she also will post a compilation of them doing something silly like tripping over thin air or being caught using a hairbrush as a microphone)

Oracle: posts clips of people doing non violent crimes (faces blurred out ofc) with the caption "the eye in the sky sees you, dumbass." because why would you try ack a car on a street with three non-hidden cameras

Jason: doesn't post. anymore. does have an account from when he was a teenager where it's just him doing sped up acting videos to sounds. he has tried to log in to take it down but Bruce changed the password. Brucie regularly comments on different videos like "my baby was such a star... rip sweetie 🕊️🕊️🕊️" and its Jason lip-syncing to fucking Justin Bieber or something

Red Hood: posts videos shitting on Batman. the comments were full of people saying "daddy issues" or "i wanna be a dealer just so you can shoot me babygirl" so he turned them off. sometimes someone (tim) turns them back on and Jason gets bombarded with "BRO IS SERVING CUNT"

Cassandra: posts videos of her doing ballet, or of her showing off her strength. Not on purpose though, she thinks its fun to post videos of her teasing her brothers and the comments are like "WHY DID SHE JUST PICK UP DICK GRAYSON WITHOUT EVEN BREAKING A SWEAT WHAT"

Orphan: has a shared account with Batgirl, but she doesn't post on it, just sort of stands in the background as Steph makes funny videos.

Stephanie: enjoys posting videos pretending to be dating both Tim and Cass because she thinks its funny when the internet call her a gold digger and cheater. Bernard (after going public with Tim) occasionally fuels the fire by commenting "lmao get ur bag girl" under a video of her dragging Tim to a resturant

Batgirl: posts videos of her making fun of rogues, and on her shared account with Cass, just joins in on trends but obviously mixing it to fit her (aka: "when Batman lectures you for breaking a criminals leg but your literally just a teenage girl")

Timothy: like Bruce, he has two accounts. One is professional, with him promoting Wayne Enterprises products or whatever. Second one is full of him doing wild shit like skateboarding down the manor stairs or him trying to confuse Bruce with cringey slang. his most popular video though, is of him using the Nepo Baby sound by Fox SZN

Red Robin: posts slideshows of pictures of Gotham. All very aesthetic ones, of good architecture and people laughing together and shit. His bio is "showing you guy why I do what I do." His account is very artsy fartsy but he also was the first batfamily member to get verified

Duke: doesn't post, just likes videos.

Signal: posts videos of him trying to scare the other vigilantes, cuz, yknow, he can go invisible. tell me you wouldn't do that either if you could be invisible. exactly, you can't. He also makes videos about how hard it is to be a teen vigilante.

Damian: videos of his pets doing tricks. also regularly stitches Tim's videos and just deadass insults him. Tim always comments on his stitches with just a singular emoji because he found out it pisses Damian off more when he doesn't have a big reaction

Robin: posts about resources for gothamites. also has a shared account with Superboy (Jon) where they try and sneak up on both Superman and Batman. They have yet to succeed on either one.
