Batman meets Danny a few times and is like "oh yes a new child" only for Danny to be the most slippery fucker known to man
It gets so bad, comms and new patrols for everyone, everything taken super serious, they would ask Superman as well but they don't wanna scare him off to hard
Even Alfred gets highly invested
Eventually the batkids start going after him out of costume as well, just full sprint at him
It all comes to a head when Bruce, mid Brucie interview, sees him across the street and proceeds to vault across the table and start sprinting after him, waving adoption papers
(I got some ideas how each kid got invested if y'all r interested)
Cass is out on patrol and sees Polka Dot Man trying to rob a Dollar General. After she shoos him away, she wanders down an aisle and soon finds the most absurd item in the store.
Cass, in full costume, approaching the cashier: How much?
Paul the Cashier, a fifty year old man who has been working night shifts in Gotham for over thirty years: Just take it. Christ.

Later that week:
Tim, stepping into the shower, sees this peeking out at him from behind his shampoo:
Tim: …okay
Tim, texting Cass: Did you give me a Rainbow Batman?
Cass: Pass along the Rainbow Batman for good luck

Jason, returning to his safe house after a long night, opens the fridge and sees Rainbow Batman standing knee-deep in his potato salad.
Jason: fuck is this
Tim, texting him seconds later: Pass along Rainbow Batman for good luck.

Over the next few months, Rainbow Batman circulates its way around most of the Bat-team. It bounces from Jason to Dick to Damian to Steph. Eventually it gets to Duke, who is tasked with presenting it to Bruce. He waits until Bruce is in a decent mood, then puts it on the driver’s seat of the Batmobile one night as they are all wrapping up a case.
Bruce, opening the Batmobile door: —thank you for your help, Dick. I know you’ve been busy. And Duke, I appreciate you altering your schedule for us. Steph, your intel was excellent. I’m very pleased with the outcome of this mission. You all managed to keep the insubordination at a tolerable level.
Jason, whispering to Dick: Damn, two thank-yous, a compliment, and only one passive-aggressive comment? Did he get laid or something?
Bruce, spotting the Rainbow Batman: I…
Bruce:
Bruce: This??
Bruce: Is this…
Duke, about to explain: Cass found it—
Bruce, clearly trying to process something, blurts out: Is this your way of telling me you all know about Clark?
Everyone:
Jason: called it
i feel like if someone addressed Billy Batson as William he'd be like 'who the fuck are you talking to'
Imagine Danny and Hal Jordan meeting one day, Danny revealing that Hal Jordan his is biggest hero for being an Airforce Pilot and the one that kicked started his love for Physics, his dream to becoming an Astronaut. Imagine Hal Jordan just being touched that his kid, ACTUALLY recognized and appreciated him for the planes he flew rather than his Green Lantern duties.
You cannot tell me Hal wouldn’t immediately pull out the adoption papers. And, after all, Barry did say he wanted kids.
Now he’ll have to go through Maddie and Jack.
don't give up
Jason: So.
Jason: How many murders did you refrain from committing today?
Damian: Thirty two.
Jason: Good for you.
Jason: Here, have a cookie.
I read a post once that said there's a theory that maybe we ARE alone in the universe simply because the universe is so young. We might be the first ones! And what if that were true?
What if we become The Old Ones. What if we send ourselves far out into the universe? What if different species evolve from us? And what if we leave not because we destroyed our own world, but because our curiosity drove us to go as far as possible.
How many generations until Earth becomes a legend? How many species have legends of a world almost destroyed, until the poorest of the Old Ones banded together to save it from the greed of the rich overlords? How many people nesting in the stars would take the story of our planet's near destruction and use it to guide their way of life into something better than what we have now?
Imagine, space stations full of humanoid descendants of ourselves, all taught from wee infancy to serve the greater good, to have hope in even the most dire circumstances, because the Old Ones never gave up, so neither should their descendants.
Humans are space orcs is a fun concept but I think the defining thing about humanity isn't our brutality, but rather, our capacity for hope.
I can’t articulate this properly right now but Wes gets an internship at the Daily Planet over the summer. Which goes great until Superman shows up with lame glasses and says he’ll be showing Wes around.
And Wes is really confused because literal Superman (who told Wes to call him Clark??) is giving him a tour of the Daily Planet and everyone is treating him normally and Wes knew the people of Amity were idiots for not noticing Phantom was Fenton but This Is The Daily Planet. These people are investigative journalists! Super-Clark just reheated his coffee with his eyes while shittily hiding behind a newspaper! They’re supposed to be better than this!
Shazam concept: the justice league figures out that the entire Shazamily is shapeshifting children but they put two and two together to get thirty and come to the conclusion that Billy is their adoptive father
i feel like this is the kind of poster that will be up all over the waverider. while there's no name, everyone knows who this is for.
