I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is
I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.
Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.
Here’s proof of what I mean:
idgaf if my parents are disappointed in me I'm not impressed by them either
Trying to make more comics, here's baby Bruce!!

Watching footage of your husband i mean soulmate i mean best friend i mean co-worker being evaporated repeatedly while rubbing a torn piece of his cape is ALOT, Bruce.

Epic! AU but... But it's Batman.
Batman is Ody, duh.
Either Selina or Talia is Penelope, take your pick. Personally prefer Talia, but make your cup of tea however you like it.
(Though Talia as Circe/ Calypso is also a solid win.)
Bruce's crew can be the Justice League... They all di--
The gods stay because they're canon in the DC universe.
Telemachus though? Oh... Oh... HAHAHAHA--

One of my fave lil headcanons (arguably unoriginal) is people outside of Gotham always being surprised at how fucking MASSIVE Batman is because they’ve only ever seen him on the news when he’s fighting The Big Bad or standing next to Superman and/or Wonder Woman who are literally beyond human capabilities of height and muscle.
so obviously, 6’5, impossibly jacked Bruce Wayne looks about 5’10 and lean next to an overpowered alien and their resident Amazonian. Not to say he isn’t still intimidating, however, because even the other two couldn’t hide Bruce’s overwhelming broodiness, but definitely not BIG.
As such, whenever Bruce is on ground control, it’s not uncommon for civilians who were previously running and screaming for their lives to get scooped up by the bat and go for an impromptu grappling hook adventure away from the chaos. Then, as they turn around, overwhelmed with gratitude, they just. Freeze. Hearts stopped. They have to crane their necks to make eye contact with lifeless white lenses. It seems like the shadows curl around their savior and bend to his command. Their mouths go dry and their legs shake in fear without them realizing.
and suddenly, as quickly as he came, Batman vanishes back into the fray, and the civilians have to take a minute to themselves before they start running again to simply process that was short, scrawny Batman. The same Batman that barely reaches Wonder Woman’s chin.
And the worst part? They have to go on GOTHAM chat rooms after to cope because no one else outside of New Jersey believes that Batman is as terrifying as he actually is
