to make the idea of batman as terrifying and as inhuman as possible, bruce comes up with the idea to disregard the concept of gender entirely. he rebrands to The Bat, & carefully constructs himself to be a creature of gender nonconformity rather than a ‘Man’, or being ‘Masculine’. he uses his influence over the press to anonymously encourage reporters to write about The Bat with ‘they, it’ and similar pronouns, to further emphasise the idea that The Bat is fear and justice incarnated; a concept rather than a physical being. it makes objective sense to him to separate himself from humanity as much as possible in order to truly complete his mission of becoming an idea rather than a person. it starts to feel strange when people refer to bruce wayne as a he. the two identities he lives by clash horrifically: bruce wayne, playboy, arrogantly sure of himself in masculinity and manliness. and The Bat, a thing no one can place real human binary to, with no true identity. bruce isn’t sure what this means for their personal preference. it doesn’t feel bad to be called he, since it’s the word people have referred to him as all his life. but the objectification of ‘it’ doesn’t seem to be objectifying, instead comforting, and ‘they’ is neutral enough to be comfortable in any way. neither The Bat nor bruce are really one for soul-searching and identity-finding. so bruce leaves it alone. it finds that it doesn’t mind venturing outside of the binary, in and out of costume. he sees himself as a figure of strength and fortitude to all, either as a public philanthropist or an indescribable cryptid of the night. bruce decides that maybe it’s time for them to be a tad less strict about identity and reputation, and so he contacts the papers and donates to as many non-corrupted trans charities as he can find, and tries to publicise his blasé attitude towards gender as much as he can. they figure that seeing two of gotham’s most famous figures not being the typical cisgendered male would help people personally, not just physically protected from crime.

Well, Mermay is almost done buuut, Aquatic batfam is always lovely. So which would you be fine hearing me ramble about-slash-work on the Oneshots lol
Eel Mer- Eeels. Long wriggly friends. Now with apposable thumbs! And Bruce's growing adoption problem- and a slight family curse but shhh.
Merfolk- I mean, fish! A mixture of modern and fantasy with the merfolk of Gotham waters being cryptids compared to the rest of the seas. The bats think it's hilarious.
Octopus Mer- Octopi are fun. And you ever see the videos of octopus continuously escaping their tanks? Imagine if the octopi were vigilantes with weapons. Yeaah...
Crabtaur- Lazarus crabs? Lazarus crabs! And a curse to them all that they have to work around in their day to day lives.
Nudibranch- Sea Slugs? Indeed. And a lot of them poisonous and using the poisons in their work- along with messing with each other.
Mershark- Sharks! Includes Flashpoint-esque Thomas being a murder grandpa and past AlfredxMarthaxThomas, along with Bruce being less murderous
Kraken- Squids. Think giant merfolk but well, giant squids. Fantasy-esque AU with Gotham being the largest population of pirates & crime on the seas.
Sea Dragon- Sea serpents mixed with seahorses and a bit more. Includes the kids being bio-kids via blood ritual and a couple galas. Also some shapeshifting.
since chinese new year is next month (Feb 10th) I figured I’d do a poll like this— it also indicates a tumblr age demographic so that’s always interesting
