So anyways, poll time!!
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.

So you know those fics/ideas where the batfam pretends to be winged cryptids (“loading and aspect ratio” by JUBE514 is beautiful, as is the series “f’ing demon bats” by KingJai) completly inhuman, entirely different, unknown species?
People start trying to like, study/classify them, along with other metas and species that are emerging. At first, they think the bats and the birds are different species, deciding to co-habitate, because- duh. Bats are mammals. Birds are birds. But then, why do they all have the same whistle chitter language? The same claws, fangs, cape-like base to thier wings? All the babies call Batman dad, what if its really a bloodline family? But if thats the case, then why are they so different?
The answer lies in the batgirls.
The bat… GIRLS.
Black bat, batgirl (all 3 of them), batwoman, all are female. The robins, nightwing, red hood, are all male.
The feathered members of the family are SHOWIER. They’re stealthy, sure, but they’re dramatic, using their brighter colors and their words to draw attention to themselves. Even red robin, the drabbest and most silent of the bunch, will get into loud debates with riddler and such. Clearly, these are displays to attract a mate. Just look at nightwing.
The leather-winged members, in the other hand, are quieter, talking less often, sticking more to the shadows and silent+violent takedowns. Black Bat almost never speaks. Oracle is never even seen. Spoiler is louder and more brightly colored, but who is Gotham to enforce gender roles onto their cryptid? They’re noticing trends.
But then… where does batman fit into this? His coloration is the closest to black bat. His fighting style fits in the shadows, not as flashy as other males of his species, so what gives? Is this theory just a theory?
No, of course not. The answer is obvious. Batman is trans.
Trans Cryptid Batman.
Idk how Duke fits into this give him a bird theme or smth.
BONUS POINTS if Alfred (grandpa gotham cryptid) is “revealed” to have lovely white feathered wings. Its meant to be a play on how he’s an angel looking out for them (an angel for putting up with them) but it kickstarts the whole thing.
(EDIT: more bonus points if Bruce is either A:actually trans or B: Bryce trying to avoid sexism, and cannot for their AFAB life figure out how they got clocked as biologically female)
You can only pick one. No Nuance November.
