I have these insanely vivid dreams and I like to write them down so I don't forget them. I'm specifically drawn to this dream I had not too long ago. I think I'll call him Ivan
I'm a bit of a DC nerd so I'm not surprised that I had a dream I was in the DC universe. If you couldn't tell by my shitty background, I'm controlling vines, becoming poison ivys protégé after I died in my dream. Boy lemme tell you, dying in a dream was not fun
Maybe I'll delve into detail about the dream in a later post or smth
Without backgrounds next time
So I’ve been thinking about the bat fam in the future and the family is gonna be HUGE especially if people are adopting/ having kids to the same amount Bruce did which means there will be drama, arguments and more. This is coming from someone with a very VERY large extended family.
I know the press will probably mess up the names of who did what too which would cause more arguments but never anyone cutting each other off because they’re annoyed but it’s tolerable plus they’ll have a turn to laugh.
Bruce also probably enjoys being a grandpa too albeit is probably that one who is awkward to get to know at first.

Superman Problem
So the one thing about the old Superman movies I’ve never liked has been the Jesus analogy. The idea that Joe-El sent his son to earth so he could guide the humans and be their savior. I think Smallville did this too and I didn’t like it then either. Why would a man from a completely different planet who has never been to Earth and has no reason to care anything about it except as the planet where his son is going so he doesn’t die on Krypton care at all about saving humanity? He was facing certain death as his planet died around him and risked a lot n the chance that his son would survive being sent away in a ship, why would he spend any time creating a plan where he ordered his son to be alone and isolated apart from the species he was being sent to spend his life around. It just doesn’t make sense.
Superman Fic Idea
So, I’ve seen plenty of fic where Batman is depicted as the most paranoid member of the Justice League where no one knows his identity n the whole team and maybe don’t even know he has kids. (I hate fics where the justice league meet the Batfamily for several reasons) And, for the most part, I do think Batman would be more paranoid then other members when it comes to contingency plans, but I don’t actually think he’d be the most paranoid about his actual identity. Pretty much everyone Batman knows and cares for is some kind of super or super-affiliated. He’d be careful, but I don’t think he’s the most motivated to make sure his identity stays secret.
You know who has a lot more incentive to want his secret identity locked down right? Superman. This almost invincible hero who can really only be hurt by going after his loved ones, of which he has plenty. Superman has his parents, his friends, the Daily Planet and Smallville, all of whom would be in danger if it got out that who he was. Not to mention, Superman doesn’t where a mask, his biggest protection on his identity is that no one thinks he has one. You don’t suspect the random reporter guy to be Superman unless you have reason to believe Superman has an actual job.
I think Superman would actually be one of the most careful heroes in regard to his identity. And it would be pretty easy for him to do, especially since he has an actual name to give them to use.
Moving to the actual fic idea. A story about the Justice League founding and growing together through the framing of how much Superman shares about himself. I like the idea of the Justice League being taken in by the Kal-El came to earth as a teenager-adult and using his birth name. I think Superman might drop hints about himself mixed with info he learned from ai Joe-El. I just think it would be a fun story, maybe play with expectations in a bit with Batman and Superman.
Crossover Fic Complaint
I find it really annoying in fanfic, usually crossover or oc’s, where the writer has whatever character see right through a secret identity, it happens all the time with Superman and it’s mostly just a way to make their preferred character look smarter than everybody around them. There is nothing wrong with Superman’s secret identity.
DC Fic Trope Question
Why is it so popular to write fics where the Justice League has never met the Batfamily? I seem to see it a lot and I just don’t get it. It just seems so sad to have a Dick who didn’t get to grow up with Clark and Diana around or the Teen Titans. His relationships with other superheroes mean so much to him. And then there’s Tim who is practically soul mates with Connor, Bart and Cassie, I hate the idea of him not getting to have them in his life. It all just seems so isolating for them to have no connection with the wider superhero world.
I know this trend is just going to become more popular once the new DC movies come out. The only thing I’m not a fan about the James Gunn announcements is that Superman is going to be starting off younger but Batman is jumping straight into the Damian Wayne storyline and the age implications that come with that. They’ve already confirmed that Nightwing is already going to be a thing too. Is Clark now going to be of an age with Dick? That just doesn’t seem right to me.
DCU
It’s probably my Superman bias, but I get really bothered by the trope that has all of the Supers being scared of the Bats. Like, sure, Batman and his kids are cool, but come on, it’s SUPERMAN, he’s the strongest superhero in the world and the rest of them are almost as strong. Superboy I, Superboy II, Supergirl, Power Girl, all of them, it’s just not happening. They respect the Bat Clan, they are incredibly intelligent and well trained heroes, but they aren’t going to seriously be able to beat the Supers, nor would they actually want to. They’re friends, they trust each other. I get that it’s short hand to show a character is bad ass by having their allies be scared of them, but I’ve never really understood why genuine friends who cared about each other would act that way. So yeah, that’s just me.
DCU In-Universe Fic
I’ve seen a few social media fics where in-universe characters argue about whether Batman or Superman is better, usually as an extension of the Gotham vs Metropolis debate. I was thinking about them and it occurred to me that no one within the DC universe would actually view Batman as being on par with Superman. Like, if Superman was real, this overpowered alien hero who saves people from actual natural disasters, he wouldn’t be considered “Metropolis’ Hero.” He’d be the World’s Hero, even the Gothamites would probably put him on a totally different league from heroes who operate primarily in their city. Yeah, sure, he debuted in Metropolis but he fights hurricanes and falling airplanes and alien warlords, EVERYONE would be invested in him.
I know everyone says that either Tim or Bruce have the worst sleep skedules in the family but... counter argument. Alfred. He's up whenever someone needs him, I'm actually convinced he doesn't need sleep.
Just a little idea I had on batmans costume (my design). The wings are a wrap around to the front (my boy loves dramatics and suilowets(God, I can't spell silowets)) and I would have added more details like armor but my hand started cramping up and im not a digital artist. Kay, bye.
Ok, so just imagine. Batmans' not a human, but he doesn't know, ok, wait, hear me out. So, this came from every time I saw an ambigious and cryptid blob batman. I was thinking, wouldn't it be funny if batman. Instead of being human and being mistook for a crytid, what if he was actually a crytid. Just a thought I had. You can interpret this anyway you want. I don't actually have any idea what the specifics would be.

My headcanons about Dick Grayson
Dick is touched starved.
Think about it he grew up in a circus, that he considered family, when he was little he always got physical affection and after he was adopted by Bruce he still got some(because lets face it Bruce was a softie for Dick when he was Robin) though a lot less because Bruce isn't a touchy person, but after being fired and going solo he had a lot less physical affection from his loved ones(especially when he had a "falling out" with the Titans and YJ). I think over time he became touched starved, thats why he gives bear hugs and is more affectionate to everyone. AlsoI think it got slightly better when he was Batman and had his Robin. That's why Damian is more clingy with him and allows Dicks affection (He also knows when not to touch)(Also you can't convince me Dick isn't Damians favourite person and that they don't share a father-son relationship (mentor-student, older brother-younger brother, hero-sidekick, hero-fan all of these also aply))
Dick is still angry with Bruce about a lot of things.
How he took away Robin. How he dared give it away without his notice or permission. How he made Robin into a mantle. How he found out he took in Jason and gave him Robin from a newspaper. How he failed Jason and then blamed him. How he didn't say that Jason died. How he wasn't even invited to his funeral. How he kept secret that Jason was alive. How he used a batarang on Jason, almost killing him again, instead of Joker. How he treated Damian when he first came here and sometimes even now. How he purposely separated him from Damian, because he was jealous (of their father-son relationship). How Bruce beat him into submission to join Spyral. How that wasn't the first time Bruce hit him. How Bruce never made a backup plan to extract him from Spyral. How Bruce forgot(got amnesia) him in Spyral. How he lied to his siblings that he went along willingly with it. (If you can't tell I like Angry Dick Grayson fics)
Dick and Slade are frenemies.
Basically as long as Dick doesn't interfere with his jobs, they are close friends, but as soon as he interferes they don't hold back from lethal force. I know Slade kidnapped him and kinda tortured him and Dick was obsessed with him to the point of insanity, BUT they both obsessed over one another so much that they know eachother the best and after a while they sorta lost their motivation to constantly fight(though spars are still fair game, the only rule is the other doesn't die) eachother. So now they meet up monthly to bitch and complain about their lives and gossip like old ladies, with some alcohol on a random rooftop. They are the embodiment of don't mix business with pleasure, when they meet on one of Slades jobs they pull out all stops and fight viciously, mercilessly and brutally, but the next day(night?) Slade comes over with the good whiskey and they spend their night watching the rom-coms, because Dick thinks it's funny to force the Terminator to watch them and because he's endlessly amused when Slade actually gets invested in it.
Dick Grayson taught Damian.
About the Romani language/culture, acrobatics, trapeze, circus, travel, all the recipes of Romani dishes that he knows, Romani stories, Robin tricks, stories, secrets (By Romani culture Damian is his son and they both decided to keep that a secret from the others, btw he also learned about Damians Arabic traditions, foods, language). I think that Damian values this more than his inheritance as an Al-Ghul and Wayne, because Dick chose to give his culture and inheritance to him, not because he was obliged to.
...So you seemed to like my rant's/headcanon's *throws cautiously some more headcanons in your direction*... have some more?
P.S. Someone pointed out that there are a lot of canon in the last post instead of headcanon's, but I read so little of the comics that I can't really tell whats canon and whats not.
My headcanons about Dick Grayson
Dick Grayson is smart.
Like I hate it when they make him a dumb bimbo, he's hot yes he knows it, but he also has been hacking into the Pentagon for fun since he was ten, survived Spyral and several almost apocalypses. I know it's cannon since no Bat is dumb, but some fics, SOME FICS, make him look like he never went to school.
Dick Grayson knows so many languages.
I assume due to the fact that he grew up in a traveling circus he already knew a lot of languages(even if his english was bad when his parents died), but due to being robin and Bruce Wayne's ward he learned basically all major languages on Earth( and some alien) like Romani, German, French, Russian, English, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Irish, Finish, Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Indian, Latin, backwards speech(Zatara), Tamoranian(i think that's how you spell it), Kryptonian, speedster(when speedsters talk super fast) and so on.
Dick Grayson has at least some immunity against Fear toxin(Ft), Joker venom(Jv).
And most of the other poisons due to constant exposure since he was 9, also when he was younger there were no antidotes for Ft and Jv so he learned how to ride them out without a sound. (You can't tell me it hasn't fucked him up somehow, like a 9 y/o being constantly exposed to these things HAS to have some consequences and while he has his immunity I also think he has extreme anxiety( like all the bats a.k.a. Bat paranoia) and constant panic attacks(next headcanon))
Dick Grayson is a master at controlling his body.
Besides the fact that he probably learned acrobatics before he could walk and was a stage performer(always smiled even if the performance got off the rails) I also think he has taught himself complete control of his body due to far too many close calls. He learned to control each muscle individually for combat under high-stress situations(where he most needs that control). This had a side effect of him being able to control his face muscle/expressions and body language. He became the best actor there will ever be, because he can keep a smile on his face even if he is in excruciating pain, he can look completely calm and relaxed even though he is having a panic attack and the opposite is true as well he can look completely terrified even though he is amused. Because of this you need to know him extremely well to tell if he's in distress(the only people so far are Alfred, Damian and Slade(he's obsessed))
Anyway if you want more of the headcanon's just say, Nightwing is one of my favourite characters I can rant about him much longer.
I thought he’d like the shirt.
Today's the anniversary.
Goodbye Jaybin, you were a goddamn delight.
Sometimes I remember that Karl Kesel (creator of 90's Kon El) said that he thought Superboy would be bisexual because "...his sexual appetite would be quite large and far-ranging..."
And I'm like.
Bruh.
That's some stereotype right there, ayup. And yep, it fits his character to be a horny teen. But also. That's such a stereotype. And I'm glad you want him to be part of the lgbtqa+! It makes me feel like you genuinely didn't know what you said was a stereotype.
Oh, the nineties.
If my isekai self-insert can't be Dick Grayson's twink older brother, Mitchell Grayson, because he's "a Gary Stu" and would become "overpowered", then I want my second choice to be an inky blob of Eldritch knowledge that manifests in Fawcette City once a week to be a guest on WhizKid's Radio/Podcast.
My segment is gossiping about the secrets of heroes and villains, but vaguely or only about really useless information. Or occasionally incredibly specific instructions. Sometimes Billy and I answer questions from Chirper or Readdit.
"Who is the Red Hood?"
"The grandson of Batman's most beloved teacher. It's causing some issues."
"What is Superman's biggest secret?"
"Superman spot-checks the lead levels of infant formula whenever he's near a grocery store."
"Is there anything I need to know right now?"
"There's an unattended lit candle in the dorm room across the hall from yours - the door with the three pink post-it notes and the whiteboard with the purple butterfly sticker. You should call the RA before a badly hung scarf catches aflame in two minutes."
"What is the meaning of life?"
"Why do you want meaning? Isn't being alive enough?"
"Do you have a favorite human?"
"Yes."
"Is it me?"
"Perhaps."
