Helloooo You Can Ignore This If You Want

Rough sketch of the gang

1. Dick is ceo of the “protect Damian club”

2. Jason’s wings are a little broken after the joker incident

3. Tim and steph are gossip girls

the reason Jason started learning to cook was because before he died he used to go to Dick’s apartment like once a month for stilted forced ‘brotherly bonding’ on the demand of Alfred, and Dick had to cook them dinner every time up until the time where he mixed up the salt and the cocaine he’d been holding onto for evidence for one of his cases and he accidentally drugged them both to shit. the night ended with them deciding it would be a wonderful idea to go on a quick patrol and they blew up like three cop cars. Dick paid Jason off to never tell Bruce and after that Jason refused to let him cook for them and had to learn how to do it himself.

DAMIAN WAYNE HEADCANON

A headcanon where Damian can't stand the cold, so when winter comes, he either avoids going outside or wears double the winter gear when he goes outsid

When he is forced to go outside, he huddles up in a big puffy coat, a large scarf, fur winter boots, a hoodie with cat ears (a gift from Dick), and earmuffs. He even brings Titus so he can have more warmth near him.

Throughout the year, the batfam has a scrapbook (that Damian doesn't know about) dedicated to Damian in his winter gear because it's one of the cutest/funniest things they have ever seen Damian do.

I have this idea that each of the Batfam were given nicknames alongside their actual vigilante names by civilians that they do use every now and then. It's either a bird or a type of bat.

Bruce/Batman is obviously just called 'the Bat', probably it SHOULD'VE gone to a more specific species later, but yeah. By the time the Batlings showed up it kind of...... well, it just stuck and stayed.

Dick/Nightwing at first was only called Robin, but as he grew older, they named him 'the Owl' for his silence even in the air. And when some learned that there were evil owl masked assassins (Talons from the Court of Owls) the name became also a rebellion against them, they liked Nightwing better. He's a silent hunter, agile in fight, and idk Owl just fits him. 

 Jason/Red Hood literally died and came back, so they named him 'the Phoenix'. Also for his fiery nature and how he allegedly (to the civilians) died in an explosion, but came back from the black ground like a phoenix is said to rise from the ashes. 

Cass/Black Bat was named 'the Noctule', after the Greater Noctule Bat, since it just fit and also Noctule bats are known to even hunt small birds and THEREFORE are in the same league as them, lining up with how Cass is just as, if not more, dangerous as her siblings. 

I also toyed around with calling her Kite after the Black Kite, but she's Bat vibe more than Bird vibe, (even tho in my view all the Birds are still Batlike) so.... yeah. 

For Steph/Spoiler, I decided on 'the Magpie'. Magpies are smart, mischievous, and have a habit of spoiling things for others.

I toyed around a bit with Wren, since that could also work for her, but magpies are corvids and corvids are more Gotham, so I chose Magpie.  

Tim/Red Robin would get 'the Crow', both for his darker appearance as Robin and Red Robin than the previous two, the calls he lets out sometimes (In some of my AUs) and idk I just came up with it and it unsettlingly fit. So Tim is the Crow. He's smarter than expected and a bit smaller than normal but he can fight, so he is the Crow. 

Duke/Signal would get 'the Sunbird'. I checked. There's a bird called the Sunbird. It's way too obvious as to why i call him that so yeah.

He's also called the Day Bat. Cause to me, he's in direct equilibrium to the Bat and Bird thing. All the others lean more towards one side or another, but he's directly 50/50 to me, that's his vibe. So Signal is 'Day Bat' and 'the Sunbird'. 

 Damian/Robin gets 'the Swift', for the fact that he's small but deadly and fast, and it just fits him idk. Swifts are like..... idk the vibe and all fits. Robin gets the Swift.  

Tim: I'm bi

Jason: Cool. I hooked up with Roy once. Don't tell Dick.

Tim: Jason this is the batfamily group chat

More dad Bruce comics hehe

i think the rest of the bats probably forget that Tim actually has a full time job. like an important one. they probably text him all the time like ‘wanna help me with this case’ and Tim’s like ‘can’t sorry I’m in Germany for the next 3 days’ and then all the kids are talking for the next week like ‘wow Tim’s probably in some deep shit with this international case he’s working. can’t imagine what he’s dealing with rn’ and then the week after Tim’s at the manor for dinner and Dick’s like ‘so tell us all the gory details of the case in Germany!’ and Tim just looks at him lost.

‘what case’

‘the reason you had to go undercover in Germany and couldn’t join me and Jason’s stakeout!’

‘i never said i was undercover’

‘why the fuck else would you go to Germany?’

‘business convention’

‘…’

‘…i had to give a seminar- you guys know im a CEO right?’

‘well BRUCE never had to travel when HE ran the company-‘

‘BECAUSE BRUCE WAS SHIT AT HIS JOB THATS WHY A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD HAD TO TAKE OVER’

and Bruce is sat at the end of the table just slightly offended.

Do you think Damian knows just how wanted he was?

Does he know how excited Bruce and Talia were to be parents? To have a baby? They were married and in love and they were going to be a family. They were happy.

Does he know how heartbroken Bruce was when he thought Talia lost the baby? Their baby. Their little prince.

When someone tells him that his dad chose to have his brothers but got stuck with him, I want him to be able to say "No. My Baba wanted me so much from the day he found out Mama was pregnant."

I hope he does. I hope Bruce tells him. I hope Talia reminds him.
