Superman exposed to kryptonite, call that experiencing homesickness.
Y’know the classic “Billy de-transforms from Captain Marvel back into Billy and the JL think he’s been de-aged so Billy has to pretend to be from ancient times” thing?
I want someone to write that but with Captain Marvel and Billy being separate people like they are in the old comics.
So it’s just Billy either not knowing shit about how to act like a young Cap or Billy not giving a fuck about acting and just him leaving the JL really confused about how Cap was like this when he was young.
“We should give Billy Batson a gun” He should be given a kiss on the forehead and a warm glass of milk- the gun could then be discussed at a later date.
I understand the appeal of wanting every adult hero to instinctively adopt teenage Peter Parker, but can it really beat the hilarity of acknowledging that at 15 Peter was 5'10", unusually buff, went by a moniker with Man in it, wore a creepy full face mask, and had a tightly guarded secret identity and probably a Queens accent thick enough to have come out of a jello mold, and adult heroes reasonably responded to him by going, “Wow, this grown man is an immature asshole for no reason.”
People who are wrong will say that Steph was a bad influence on Cass.
Other people who are also wrong will say that Cass was a bad influence on Steph.
The right answer is that they matched each other’s freak and went off into the sunset to be bad influences together.
God, but Steph studying medicine isn't nearly talked about enough. Imagine her taking over Leslie's clinic after she retires (what? Is she gonna still be running the place when Damian's grown up). Bruce, who has always wanted one of his kids to go to college learns she is, and is studying the same subject his father did. Except not his kid, because he kinda blew that didn't he? But Steph has always had a standing invitation to any Wayne Gala's and now he always introduces her and mentions her degree and she gets to take time off patrols for her studies and he's always super interested in hearing her talk about it all-
And Steph finds it super weird that he's suddenly engaging with her more than he ever did.
Love fics where Batman’s identity is revealed as Bruce Wayne and the JL is just not connecting the dots.
But I need a fic specifically where the JL is in a situation where they have to lay low in a safe house or whatever for a few days while they figure out their next move and Bruce just takes off his cowl without explanation and somebody looks up to see BRUCE WAYNE in their secret hideout.
The entire JL: *tired from fighting and crashing in the nearest safe house to hide out in for the next few days while they figure out their next move*
Batman, putting a lot of thought into it: ‘well I don’t want to have to wear all my body armour and my cowl for the next few days, and I trust these people with my life, so I think I can safely take my mask off and reveal my identity’
Batman, without a word even though he should probably say a whole speech and explain why: *takes his cowl off and silently continues with his work in the corner of the room*
The ENTIRE JL: *doesn’t notice*
Someone, probably Hal Jordan: *looks up to see BRUCIE fucking WAYNE sitting in the shadows of their top secret hideout*
Hal:
Hal: WHAT THE FUCK
The JL: *freaking out because why is a civilian billionaire in the secret safe house and how did he get in without the worlds strongest and smartest heroes knowing?*
Also the JL: WHERE THE HELL IS BATMAN????
Bruce: *politely sitting in the corner, still working while he waits for someone to ask him a question instead of incoherently screaming at each other about him*
Billy, running into the room: “Guys! Miss Bambi just told me that last night somebody broke into uncle Ebenezer’s house and trashed everything!”
Mary: “oh no! That’s horrible!”
Freddy, leaning towards Mary and whispering: “how dare you trash E’s house and not invite me”
Mary, whispering back: “Miss Bambi was already helping me. You snooze you lose”
Orphan breaks my heart because she has no swag. Like okay the big pants and the hood are fun and maybe they would work if she was like a solo hero in an action film but as an ensemble cast member she looks like Background Assassin #3. Even Tim’s “the Drake” persona looked like less of red shirt. She doesn’t even have a logo. Like Black Bat was stupid but it also served campy superhero vibes. And obviously nothing can beat Batgirl. Batgirl was so perfect because it was so clearly a derivative of Batman’s costume that showed her allegiance to him and marked her as a Gothamite even when working with other heroes but still had the unique full mask with the stitch mouth that made her easily recognizable and all together cuts a shadowy mysterious figure that is immediately visually interesting. Orphan gives me absolutely nothing. And the name sucks.
Please reblog to make sure everyone is equipped!
