Superman: *gets out of the Batmobile*
Batman:
Superman: *awkwardly pats the roof* Well. That was a long, silent car ride. Now I know how Dick feels.
You know any of his children would have music blaring and talking whether he contributes or not
Nightwing: *bops his head and taps his fingers on the dashboard to the beat of NSYNC’s “It’s Gonna Be Me”*
Nightwing: *takes an earphone out of his ear* What was that?
Batman:

Batman: *clears his throat*
Nightwing: Oh, I thought I saw your mouth move.
Nightwing: *jams the earphone back in* A man can dream.
Nightwing: *checks the digital map and sighs* Five miles to gooo. Why do supervillain lairs have to be so far?
Batman:
Batman: Sync with bluetooth, code “A37”.

A compilation of 10 Of the batclans best snapchats
1.[the video is shakey as it zooms in on the top of Wayne Tower. Riddler comes into focus first, then Robin. Riddler is holding Robin by the ankle off the roof]
Batman: PUT HIM DOWN ED OR I SWEAR TO GOD—
Red Robin and Red Hood: DO A FLIP
2.[a video of Nightwing taken by Batgirl. They’re in a red light district, and you can faintly hear the cha-cha slide coming from the building they’re next to. Nightwing is dancing along perfectly]
3.[a picture of Robin, holding a baby robin. The caption reads “he’s trying to figure out how to sneak it into the bat cave”]
3.5.[a second picture posted shortly after. It is blurry, but you can vaguely make out the shapes of Robin and Batman. The caption reads “he found out”]
4.[a video of Red Hood and Blackbat signing frantically in ASL. The camera flips to Red Robin]
Red Robin: they’re arguing about which pizza rolls are the best
Batman, from off Camera: where the hell do they even get pizza rolls? Agent A sure as hell doesn’t let them in the house—
5.Nightwing: I dare you to jump off the roof without your grapple
[Red Hood starts sprinting to the edge of the roof. They are on one of the tallest buildings in Gotham. The camera shakes as Nightwing runs after Red Hood]
Nightwing: No wait I diDNT FUCKING MEAN IT HOOD—
5.5[a super bad candid of Batman and Red Hood and Nightwing. The camera is tilted as if someone is trying to hide it. The caption reads “this has been going on for 20 min”]
Batman: —ell would you think that’s a good idea—
Red Hood: —if you should be yelling at anyone it should be nightwing—
Nightwing: —don’t drag me into this!
[snickers are heard off camera]
Batman: Im dragging both of you into this! Why on earth would you dare your brother to jump off the roof when you know damn well he’ll do it?!
Red Hood: yeah—
Batman: oh don’t you even start Hood—
6.[a picture of Red Robin and Superboy mid fall. It is unclear where they fell from. The caption reads “they were watching buzzfeed unsolved and got scared by a pigeon”]
7.[the camera opens and quickly zooms in on Batman. He looks annoyed. There is a low chanting of “money in the jar” coming from off camera]
Batman: ‘crap’ is not a fucking swear word—
8.[a picture of Robin curled up against Black Bat. She looks surprisingly fond. The caption reads “he fell asleep durning the stake out”]
9:[a shakey Video of Red Hood. He’s fighting off at least six people while singing in a rather nice sounding baritone range. The caption reads “once a theater kid always a theater kid”]
Red Hood: IVE GOT NO STRINGS—
[red hood fires a gun]
Red Hood: —TO HOLD ME DOWN
10:[a video of Red Robin and Signal. They’re sitting on a roof, sharing several tacos.]
Signal: why do you call yourself Red Robin? Robins are technically Red already, aren’t they? They’ve got that little red patch on their chest
Red Robin: it’s for the aesthetic
Signal: well your aesthetic sucks.
this is the best thing you’ve ever sent me and actually the best thing i have EVER received and i am so unbelievably sad that this isn’t an actual video
“no”
“No,”
“Tim no”
“nO”
“NO”
“No!”
“No, Timothy!”
“No”
“Nice try. No.”
“No! No! And no!”
“Timothy Jackson, I said no–”
“no.”
“No”
“nO”
“how many times do I have to say no–”
“NO”
“NO!”
“NO!!!!”
“NO”
the ending is a tense silence and Tim has the camera on Bruce, who is looking at him. His eyes are steely, otherworldly, promising swift parental retribution
“Go ahead,” he murmurs, voice dangerously soothing, “go ahead and do it. See what happens”
the video cuts off suddenly
He’s so dramatic
So extra
No more ocean view. >D
I want more of this Bruce Wayne. I want Bruce and Lex to be rivals and Lex has all kinds of evidence that should have led his brilliant mind to immediately finger Bruce as Batman but he’s just such a goddamn looney toon that suspicion never really attaches. Also I’d like to see a Batman that has actually achieved some work-life balance, where he has off hours to basically screw with Lex in extravagant ways, invent useful things, and work the political system in clever ways that gradually turn Gotham into a rival city to Metropolis, cheesing off Supes to no end, which just makes it all the sweeter.
A TALE OF TINY TIMMY
Batman: The
Batman will never die, Robin–I thought I’d already made that clear.
Jean
Paul Valley didn’t work out, and Dick Grayson wasn’t quite right either…but
if and when the time comes, someone will be right–and someone will
pick up the mantle of the Bat. Preferably you.Robin: Whoa.
Batman: You say something?
Robin: Uh, no…
I mean yeah. I just said…“go.”–Tim Drake
