body hair grows for a reason. there's nothing wrong with having it, and it's pretty much no different from the hair on your head. it's okay to just let your body exist as it is.
In no particular order:
- The batfam have their own language of chirps, trills, tweets, and whistles, and they use it in front of other ppl (civilians, the jla, whatever) and the other ppl go “what the actual fuck”
- Bruce throwing the batarang at Jason Todd’s neck actually Does Damage™, and eventually the other members of the family find out and lose their shit
- “Hey Tim?” “Yeah?” “Where’s your fucking spleen :)” “Lost it.” “LOST IT??”
- Damian calling his brothers Akhi :)
- “How many kids do you HAVE??” -The entire Justice League
- Jason going to Titans Tower, seeing Tim, saying “is anyone gonna parent that” and then not waiting for an answer.
- Literal Toddler Tim Drake informing the Batfamily that yes he knows everyone’s identity, and really if you didn’t want people to figure it out you should stop showing off your extremely niche skills during patrols Nightwing.
- “Dude your son is a crime boss.” “Ex-crime boss :/”
- A Batfamily member hearing someone talk about their civilian identity (bc, yknow,, they’re famous) and just having to Deal With It because what the fuck else are they supposed to do??
- The Justice League hearing about Batman and assuming he (& his family) are demons or vampires or some other cryptid, and then meeting him and finding out he’s just Some Guy.
- The batfamily learning the origin of the name Robin
- The Justice League meeting the Batfamily and specifically learning who Red Hood is, and one of the heroes nervously asks “Didn’t the second Robin.. die?” and Jason just goes “yeah lol”

“If I was in the dc universe I’d save this character’s life” “If I was in the dc universe I’d have the coolest powers” “If I was in the dc universe I’d fix this plotpoint” Bro if I was in the dc universe I would accidentally say “we live in a society” or *southern Jonathan Crane voice* “Is that John Constantine” and then accidentally incriminate myself while I tried to explain the meme
Other vague shit that I would inevitably say to incriminate myself:
- crash and/or mode, which I have slowly been integrating into my daily vocabulary because I think its funny
- the entire jerome valeska monologue from gotham
- oh my goodness gracious :0 i’ve been bamboozled :0
- so hroo hraa there
- do I look like batman? musty bitch
- what are bialyans doing in… bialya??
Consider if you will. Leaning more into Stalker Tim Drake.
- Dick references an inside joke to Jason from Jason’s second week as Robin. Jason pretends not to remember, which distracts just enough from Tim stifling laughter behind them.
- Barbara and Tim are away from Gotham when someone starts attempting to hack the Batcomputer. Barbara could protect from it regardless of where she is, but first she needs to be on the Batcomputer’s server, which might be a tad difficult w/ her firewalls, and might take too long. Tim slides her his laptop, already logged in to the server, and Barbara’s too happy about the time-saver to question it.
- Jason & Tim on a drug bust, and Tim flawlessly replicates a series of movies that Jason did years ago with Batman in a similar situation. Jason just figures that it’s something Bruce told all of them, even though Tim included the bit of flair that Jason liked to add.
- Steph handing Tim a list of solved riddles so he can double check them before she goes off to save people from whatever the Riddler is doing this time. About halfway down the list he quietly scoffs at the Riddler reusing one of them from early in Dick’s first year as Robin.
- Cass watching Tim Alarming Body Language (TM) when Jason off-handedly mentions saving some kid with a camera while he was Robin, and how he wonders whatever happened to him.
- Damian receiving a gift one year that is a small collage of photos of Dick, Jason, Steph, and Damian all in their Robin outfits, all in-action. He isn’t sure who it’s from, or why there aren’t any pictures of Tim.
- Bruce loses Tim on patrol at one point, and after a frantic three hours of searching and several phone calls & comm links so the other Bats are on lookout as well, he finally finds Tim. He’s tucked into a hiding place Bruce never knew about in an alley right on their patrol routes, fast asleep. He only thinks to wonder about it after he’s called everyone back and assured them that Tim was found.
Batfamily members as shit my friends have sent to each other
I don’t think I can ever take live-action Batman’s seriously, because in my mind Batman, Bruce Wayne, and Brucie Wayne are all three very different characters, and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an actor nail all three.

Edit // If ur seeing this original post by itself, I already posted a fic rec list related to these tropes :)
If the muses agree can there be a continuation of Ragnor-met-Alec-first? With Magnus getting his date and Alec asking Ragnor (firstly if he is dreaming) and for advice on how to treat Magnus right.
this is a bit like that so i hope you like it, this is where i ended up with it. i hope you enjoy! thank you for the prompt

Alec isn’t really sure what’s going on. But he also finds he doesn’t mind, not a single bit.
He’s being taken care of with more care and consideration than he would even at what is supposed to be his Institute. There’s a bitter part of Alec that doesn’t want to return to a place that he’s failed — that he feels has failed him — but there’s a larger part that doesn’t want to leave Magnus.
Alec’s heard about the High Warlock of Brooklyn, has seen glimpses of his profile in the clave database, but it’s nothing compared to seeing him in person.
It was never enough to prepare him for the touch of Magnus’ magic and the weight of his interest. Alec is consumed by every atom of Magnus’ being and it’s more terrifying than anything he’s ever felt. His life is falling apart, nothing he does goes right, his siblings are throwing away everything he’s worked and sacrificed for, and Alec is very close to giving up.
But Magnus, Magnus is… he’s magical.

The Batkids' claims to fame. Measured by their nineteenth year.
Babs: only one who knew how to fill out a w2 by the time she was 19.
Dick: most powerful connections (don't ask how they measure that)
Jason: most murders. Also most money that he made himself. (It doesn't have to be legally made)
Cass: most presents given to her on patrol, specifically by children
Steph: has personally offended the most Rogues
Tim: definitely has the most enemies who aren't Rogues
Duke: most schooling of any of them (finished his sophomore year of college) (still holds true to this day)
Damian: only one who managed to live with Bruce that long.
