#accidental superbat

Purple version of this piece. I think the original makes it feel more period-appropriate, but the soft, ambient purples are a vibe as well.

When Superman gave him the kryptonite, Bruce felt touched that Kal-El would trust him, a human, that much. He knew that Superman was wary of humans when he first crash-landed on Earth a year ago, receiving a less than warm welcome from the military. If it hadn't been for the Justice League's intervention, Superman would have been locked up under Amanda Waller's watch.

It took months of fighting side by side on the battlefield before Superman accepted Batman's invitation to join the Justice League. As a show of mutual trust, Bruce provided Superman with plans to neutralize him in case he went rogue, and Superman entrusted any kryptonite he found to Batman for safekeeping.

They worked well together, and Superman had Batman's back in every fight against supervillains. While they had their ups and downs like any relationship, their conflicts never lasted long. That's why Bruce was puzzled when Superman started acting coldly towards him all of a sudden.

Bruce may not be the most emotionally aware being, but he could tell when someone was deliberately avoiding him. The rest of the Justice League noticed the tension and tried to mediate the situation. It was then that Superman suddenly accused him of cheating.

“You slept with that redheaded woman!” he yelled. Bruce tried hard to recall which woman Superman was talking about. Had he accidentally slept with Superman's lover? Then Superman continued, “I was patient, waiting for you to be ready to consummate our marriage, but you broke our sacred marriage contract! Clearly, you don't love me anymore!”

Bruce felt like he had entered the twilight zone. His mind spiraled as he frantically tried to remember when he had gotten married to the Kryptonian. It turns out that Superman fighting off the supervillains trying to get to him was part of a courtship ritual on Krypton. When Batman had invited Superman into the Justice League, Superman had taken it as a marriage proposal to join his inner circle, and they had exchanged weapons to seal the deal. It seems that Kryptonians had long, and pretty bloody, courtship rituals revolving around proving their strength to their partner and exchanging rare objects. Verbal declarations were unnecessary.

Bruce had been married to Superman for months, and he didn't even know it.

Experimenting with how I wanna draw Clark and Bruce, decided it would be best to draw them side by side to make sure they don’t look too similar *cough cough* Dc *cough*, also been wanting to draw them in 1940’s suits so combined them into one.

As always click for better quality

COMMISSIONS OPEN

+ Underwear version so that I could actually see their body types for reference later

Bonus; Clean profiles!

ID + refs under cut;

[ID; Digital drawing of Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent standing, both are dressed in 1940’s clothes. Bruce is on the left in a dark navy double breasted suit, with a black tie and yellow shirt, he has a five o’clock shadow and a scar on his cheek and ear. Clark is dressed in a brown suit, with a mismatched jacket and trousers, his trousers are darker and high waisted with a thin belt, his jacket is open and underneath he’s wearing a beige knitted sweater vest with a red tie and white shirt. Clark’s glasses are thick and tortoise shell in pattern. There’s a second drawing, which is in the same poses as the first but both men are in boxers and vests of the period. Behind each of them is a drawing of their face at profile view, Bruce is in full Bruce Wayne persona in his, clean shaven, properly washed for once and with makeup to cover his eye bags, he’s in a black tuxedo and smiling. Clark in his profile is in his above suit plus a fedora with a red band holding a press pass in his hat, he’s looking up in interest. The background to both is faded newspaper clipping of the Gotham gazette and the daily planet along with the superman and Batman symbol. End ID]

Here’s the references I based their clothes on btw, in case you’re interested!

There are two types of couples

Flash: hey everyone! Me and Hal are officially dating

Wonder woman: congratulations!! 

Clark: I knew it! See I wasn't lying when I told you guys that I saw them holding hands.

Diana: that's cute

Arthur: I also saw Barry trying to kiss Hal with hot Cheetos crumbs

Diana: ok now that's not cute 

Bruce: me and Clark are going to get married tomorrow. You all are invited.

Diana: wow..straight up marriage? Still congratulations!!

Hal Jordan: wait, you guys were even dating?

Diana: what makes you question that?

Hal: I saw him punching supes with a Kryptonite ring

Arthur: even I saw them.

Diana: you also saw him punching?

Arthur: Yeah, I saw them punching each other with...their lips

Hal: ew..

Screwed Up: A SuperBat One-Shot

“Look, Kent, the only way you’re getting out of writing this article is if you’re screwing one of them, so unless you tell me you and the Amazoni—“ Clark can’t help the honest-to-god snort of a laugh that pulls from him.

God, Diana will get a kick out of that too when he tells her.

Still laughing, Clark doesn’t even think about it.

He just answers, “I mean, I’d say B’s screwing me.”

And then he freezes as he realizes what he actually said.

And so does the rest of the newsroom.

And it’s like he can see the air swell in front of his eyes as his face flushes red and the group takes what feels like a collective inhale before nearly everyone in the newsroom starts talking at once.

In a move that probably makes him look even guiltier, Clark instinctually claps a hand over his mouth as if to take back the words.

Oh no.

Batman's reputation takes a bit of a hit when he's spotted being kissed stupid and pushed around by Some Guy™ (Clark)

Meanwhile, Clark suddenly has a more street cred than he knows what to do with.

“I knew you’d eventually fall for me, Batsy!”

Those were the last words Batman heard before he was pushed over the edge of the roof. Batman scowled, mentally calculating the height of his fall and bracing himself for impact with the ground. It will be brutal, but his suit was designed to withstand the force.

He landed soundlessly on an inflatable cushion. At least, that's what he initially believed, until he turned to look at the wide blue eyes of a bespectacled man who was cradling his 250-pound frame, suited up, in his arms like Batman was his newlywed bride.

"I apologize!" The man offered hastily. "I moved on instinct. I was reaching for the... lobster dish," he finished lamely. Batman stared incredulously at him, then glanced at the table of the outdoor restaurant beneath them with a plate of perfectly prepared, uncrushed lobster on it.

“Who are you, and what are you doing here? Are you working for the Joker?” Batman demanded.

“No! I just came here for lunch, I swear!” The man pleaded.

Batman scrutinized his face. He had seen this man before...“Clark Kent?”

The man lowered him to his feet. “You know what? I just remembered that I’m allergic to lobsters. I think I’m breaking out in hives. I really need to go, bye Batman!” He scrambled off the table and ran out of the restaurant.

Like hell Batman was going to let a metahuman reporter wander around Gotham without knowing his intentions. “Stop right there Kent!” he yelled, ignoring the Joker's furious protests from above.

When I imagine Clark, I never imagine him as lean with any definition in his muscle, right? He's a southern boy, and anyway, real strongmen don't look trim and defined like we tend to think. So I imagine he's big and kinda soft-looking.

But then if he puts on the Superman suit, that could be really unflattering to a body like that, right?

So I thought: What if Clark wears Spanx under his super suit?

Hi anon :3

See, you caught me in a particular mood and if I was an artist, I would've drawn you something - okay, no, if I was a good artist, I would've drawn you something. You'll get my blabbering instead, but I'm sure you were prepared for that. If you weren't, I'm very sorry.

If we put Clark and Bruce next to each other (which I do a lot in my mind, duh), I always imagine Bruce as being the leaner of the two. Not lean as in thin, per se, because the man is a tree. Both of them, really, but Bruce is more... "I worked hard for these muscles and I'm fast and agile" sort of muscled. He's hard and edgy. He can hide how strong he is under a nice suit, because he's leaner, you know? Brush it off as 'good genes' with a flirty smile - as long as they don't see the more horrific scars, he'll be alright.

Clark's muscles are more... Well, I suppose Clark's muscles are more from nature's side, yes? He doesn't have to do any physical exercise to keep in shape the same way Bruce does, but but but. You are absolutely correct, he is a southern boy, used to helping out around the farm - which I'd say is half of the reason he's built the way he is. Big and soft and oh so damn strong. Not just super strength strong, but also in the way he's built. He looks like who he is: a farmer's son.

Being Superman - it's nice to be big and intimidating, but it's also easier to make the distinction between Clark Kent and Superman if Clark hunches over and even though he's broad, he can sort of... make it look more like he's got a little bit of tummy, you know. Like any other normal man.

So, back to the Spanx point. Making Superman look as super as possible is amazing and sometimes... Yeah, sometimes that requires Clark to present himself as something - as someone - very different from Clark Kent. And Spanx can help with that. It smoothes out some of the roundness and while it's not exactly comfortable (Clark really does enjoy his flannel and good old jeans), it's not painful either.

My mind jumped directly into the first time Bruce wants to get frisky in the suit and Clark's like "wait, wait, wait," because nooooo, it isn't supposed to be seen by everyone else. Clark doesn't have self-image issues, not really, but it's not exactly sexy to see your boyfriend in a tight spandex romper, squeezing all his softness.

Bruce disagrees. He loves that Clark makes such an effort to make Superman the perfect man, while he gets to keep Clark Kent all to himself. Also, getting to peel the Spanx off of Clark's body? Absolutely worth it.

[lightningflvsh]

the duality of superbat and batlantern is hilarious;

superbat is an old married couple in like 90% of the media that they interact in

batlantern is UST hell

i can’t tell if that’s supposed to say “just” or “lust” but both work tbh. stop fighting and just fuck it out like adults 🙄

edit: i have been informed it’s unresolved sexual tension, so my point still stands

#.asks #suggestive #honestly they both have the potential to be cute just in very different ways #superbat is well. superbat. they can and will die for each other etc. etc. #batlantern i think it really depends which iteration/dynamic ur pulling from but it can work #fwbs that accidentally catch feelings and start getting all sappy after. *clears throat* you get it #im kinda just saying words recreationally at this point
