Help My Default Way Of Drawing Bruce Is The Wet Cat Version Of Him From Fear State And Future State.

Ok so I’m working on something.

I might change up the formatting but we’ll see if this ever get finished.

Bruce about to reveal his identity to the JL

Bruce: “I’m going to do something that may traumatize two of you. I am not sorry.”

Oliver: “oh come on Batman you identity isn’t that special.”

Bruce going full whiny play boy: “Dinah! Ollie is being mean to me!!!”

Oliver: blue screens

Dinah: “YOU BITCH!?”

Dear god.. what have I done.

Commander Shepard should not be allowed to drive.

You know that trope where individually characters are super competent and smart but when they get together the brain cell gets lost between them.

That’s the Trinity. They can do it sometimes but for the most part either one of them has the brain cell or none of them do.

my apologies Tumblr is a Webbed Site and ate my first message. please read this article in regards to we are robin, it's really common and problematic, but I want people to be aware so we can make fandom safer thanks!

Ok so first of all thank you for telling me about this. I’ve changed it cause I feel like I should, though I do want to mention I meant no malice gang is just part of my vocabulary when I talk about people in a group.

I do want to mention, and I’m sorry if this comes off as rude, that maybe you shouldn’t use the word problematic. It’s often used as a buzzword by people who want to cause problems rather than educate. Example is I like villain characters cause they’re characters and I like to study how they operate for my own stories. But often on other websites (and even this one) people will call that problematic when it’s doesn’t actually affect real people.

Sorry for the rant I just felt like that was important to tell people. But genuinely thank you so much for telling me about this and I really appreciate you going out of your way to tell me about this. And you were incredibly polite about it which I appreciate so much.

I keep thinking about this AU where Bruce just stays in college and becomes a doctor but still gets dragged into the superhero world.

Ok so Bruce is a doctor and is known for never turning down a patient because he’s still Bruce and he just doesn’t want anyone to die. He still lives in Gotham which is still a horrible place. He still tries to help Gotham by donating and creating his Wayne foundation but it’s hard because the inherent corruption in Gotham hinders anything he does this way.

The mob is still super active in Gotham and a lot of Batman’s rogues still happen because a lot of his rogues just happen with or without Batman. Poison Ivy still becomes an ecoterrorist. Penguin still becomes a powerful mob boss. Mad Hatter is still just the worst. Tommy probably still tries to kill Bruce. Just so many of Gotham’s rogues still exist, except there is no hero to stop them in Gotham. People try, but Gotham is never kind to any hero. Bruce is immensely frustrated by all this but he can’t really do anything. Hell sometimes Lesly’s clinic (cause I feel like he would work there) gets harassed and extorted to help heal mob members and crime wars. He hates this a lot but he’s trapped. He doesn’t have Batman training or gear, the best he can do is help where he can.

However there are still other heroes in this world and Superman is literally just a quick flight away. The JL forms without a Batman and they see Gotham as a powder keg. So they try to help when they can and sometimes they get injured. It comes to a head when a Metropolis (Lex Luthor specifically) and some Gotham rogues team up to get rid of the main hero pain in their necks. Lex creates kryptonite bullets and disperses them to the Gotham rogues to use. Lex sees this as a win because he can get Superman killed without doing much and the Gotham rogues see this as a win cause they have a big weapon against Superman.

So Superman gets shot at with kryptonite bullets. They aren’t the best so they hurt him but only one really makes it through and hits his skin. He has to call in back up and the JL comes to help. I can image Wonder Woman or Flash getting there first. They have no idea what to do because holy shit Superman was shot. That shouldn’t happen! But they’ve heard of this doctor in Gotham that’s supposed to be really good. Maybe Oliver or Dinah suggest Bruce idk. So they take Superman to Dr. Bruce Wayne.

Dr. Bruce Wayne is at his manor with Alfred and a young Dick Grayson (because I firmly believe Bruce would still adopt the kids) and then there is a knock on the door. Alfred goes to answer and in barges the Justice League with a bleeding Superman. Bruce is immediately on his feet barking orders to the JL to get equipment he can use and telling Dick and Alfred to stay back. He doesn’t know what’s going on or how freaking Superman is bleeding out in front of him but he doesn’t care. Bruce realizes quickly that the bullet is cause Clark more pain so it can’t be a leave the bullet in there scenario. He gets the bullet out and asks the JL how to help Clark heal. They say sunlight helps but this is Gotham! It’s polluted and over cast all the time, he won’t be able to get enough sunlight. Bruce remembers a sunlamp they have from a science experiment for Dick. He tells Dick to go get it and they pray that it works. It does by some miracle, though it’s no substitute for actual sunlight.

The League is grateful for Bruce and Clark is also immensely grateful cause holy shit he got shot. The Justice League has to now figure out how these bullets got out in the first place and well Bruce can’t help but be nosy so he mentions that a few of his patients, the mob ones, let it slip that the higher ups got into contact with someone in metropolis and Bruce knows Lex hates Superman. So he helps them out a bit too.

And after that any time they need help with some medical issue they go to super doctor Bruce. He’s also still Bruce and can’t ignore his detective brain so he helps them with mysteries too from time to time. Idk I feel like this still needs more fleshing out but I think it could be funny. Or sad. Or both.

Some other fun things from other world’s finest comics

1. Superman gave Batman a Zorro movie for Christmas (no he did not know about that movie, still ouch)

And then look at the reaction

Owwwwww

2. A what if scenario where Clark looses his powers and still tries to be a superhero

It ends with Batman and Robin going “training time!!!”

This was in World’s Finest 178- 180

3. Another What if Scenario of Bruce being adopted by the Kents (I think this was before Alfred became known as Bruce’s primary chair takers)

Clark is super suspicious of Bruce cause Bruce is being suspicious. He’s studying odd things and literally sewing a batboy costume. They work things out in the end though.

God this was nuts. World’s Finest 172 I had to look for this one online.

Some other fun things:

Another Flash v Superman Race, werebat Bruce, Bruce getting drugged into thinking he has to do everything anyone says or he’ll die, Clark and Bruce being shrunk, and two robot versions of Clark and Bruce begging for death.

This is madness.

Hey this is probably one of my favorite examples of this trope thank you so much.

Bruce Wayne meets Clark Kent at the end of a gala, when Clark lands after having to make an emergency rescue.

Cue Bruce running up to Clark(Superman[his best friend]), staring him down, and then stating very clearing that 'this makes so much more sense. what a relief. You probably know who i am then.'

and ah, yeah, reporter clark kent is slightly familiar with bruce wayne, by reputation at least.

And now he suddenly has bruce popping up in his life, along with his child, seemingly certain that they're best friends??? and there's no sign of the brucie he's familiar with from the tabloids, instead there's this very intense serious man who keeps bringing him random inventions to help, including surgical equipment laced with kryptonite in case he needs stitches? How is he going to explain this to batman.

Meanwhile Batman is the most at ease he's been in forever, of course superman is just like that if he was raised by the kent's. and of course superman would've already known his identity even if he's too polite to bring it up.

these are my thotz as someone who has been directly exposed to 2022 and 1966 batman within less than a month: there's a sweet spot between silly/gloomy ways to write bruce wayne, there's unpleasant extremes, and then there's the real extremes that are such weird little freaks that they make perfect sense

Oh my goodness I love them!!!

Tried to do small redesign of jonns martian form n did some outfit design, honestly can’t decide what sort of clothes he’d wear lmao
