Sometimes if you're quick enough in Fawcett at night, you can manage to snap a picture of one of its elusive cryptids.

Bunch of dc story ideas because I keep forgetting to write them down and they're not fully fleshed out anyway:
Captain marvel gets 'deaged', either through klarion or something he ran into doing duty around the Rock, and flees to the first safe place he can think of - the watchtower. Unfortunately, Billy assumed the curse would simply revert him to his mortal form, or close enough... But the champion of magic form turns out to have been a disguise in more ways than one, because this new body most certainly isn't human.
Similarly, cap gets deaged to Billy's age, but he's still... The champion of magic form. Now Billy batson has full access to his full set of powers and skills, but in his mortal shape. This is going to really help his secret identity :'). Especially because the villains KEEP ATTACKING PEOPLE PLEASE KNOCK IT OFF.
Meta!Batman. His rare power transformed him into a monster on the scale of killer Croc or man bat, and also enabled him to turn into a human. A completely normal. Baseline human. It's infuriating that a normal person has to worry about meta blockers or inhibitor cuffs, especially after his (slightly fudged to keep the traffickers out) statistical announcement of 'no metas in Gotham' got presumed to be a demand, because he had to call in the league to help with a fighting ring and now he's hiding in a dark room while superman tries to coax him out. Man bat already stole the niche, it's just embarrassing.
Possessed doll au! When an 8yo Bruce falls into a cave under his house, he had nightmares about tea parties and flapping wings and wooden limbs for years. Nearly a decade later, he returned to find a sprawling system of tunnels and cracks, through one of which lies an abandoned, life sized marionette tea party, with empty porcelain tea cups and old, outdated gowns. The torch lights upon the doll at the head of the table, a tall, imposing man with chipped paint, dressed all in black, his joints rusted and head lolling. Bats screech from the darkness as he approaches, and when he touches its hand the world goes black. It's terrifying to wake up in a body of wood, hearing it creak and twist, hearing it scream as he cries. He wakes up back in his own body, sprawled on the floor, and runs. He's back down in a few months, this time bound and determined to figure it out. It turns out whatever it is, it has no malice. Indeed it makes for a wonderful, powerful body once he's cleaned it up, able to move and bend in ways no human could. He can hollow it out carefully and fill it with whatever items he might need. A body that doesn't need to breathe or eat, one that can take a beating, night after night. It takes him a long time to wonder why the dolls have precisely as many people as the manor eventually does. In the meantime the people of Gotham are 90% sure their protectors aren't human. And the jl is terrified of the cave. (cryptid, cave is haunted au?)
Venom!dp x dc twin au. Danyal and Damian were the league famous demon twins, the dual gems in its crown, until Danyal is killed. Raas, furious and refusing to lose his other grandchild, starts pushing Damian harder and harder while his brother is taken to the pit as a last resort. To the adults' knowledge, it didn't work. Danny's body dissolved in the acidic waters. To Damian's knowledge, his brother returned as a desperate, animalistic thing one night, seeping through the cracks of his room. Refusing to let his brother go again, Damian demands they be reunited as one, and Danny fuses with his very skin. Once his mind returns, Danny returns the sentiment, both deeply terrified of being pulled apart again. They communicate through reflections and whispers, sharing control of the body by transforming between human and ghost, sharing powers and instincts equally. When they're sent to Wayne manor, they're restless and defensive. They have each other, no one else can discover Danny, no one else can separate them again. Their father must never find out.
Thanagerian!Danny. He's a couple generations removed on his mother's side, so he doesn't even realise until his ghost form appears with two gorgeous wings. It really adds to the psychopomp symbolism, at least? He has a lot of questions when he meets the justice league. No wonder vlad never successfully managed to clone him!
Shapeshifter captain marvel. Please. He's apprenticing under tawky ^^

In my fic, currently
Bruce: What manner of creature is Marvel, what being exists that heart beats only when it wills it so? Has every once of humanity the Captain portrayed within these last six years been a ruse? A ploy to seem so? Who and what have I left alone with my family wearing my face?
Billy, trying not to die of anxiety as Bruce’s kids clown on him and record him saying dumb shit: I’m definitely not cut out for fathering
Stephanie Brown, the one recording: Tough luck pal, now tell Jason you’re proud of him

What if there were skinwalkers in the dc universe. Like manbat is kinda like a cryptid, Santa exists and there are ghosts in dc would it really be to crazy to say other cryptids exist in the dc universe. Skinwalkers are kinda a new thing and getting more popular with newer generations I think so the only one in the league to know what it is would be captain marvel. I can imagine the league checking out complaints of random yelling for help and screaming in a forest but no sine of a human being there, and billy is just like fuck that that’s a skinwalker I’m not going into that forest and the rest of the league is confused as hell.

Honestly, if Billy Batson made himself the Justice League cryptid, no one would even blink if/when his identity was revealed. Like "yeah, that's just Marvel. He's like that sometimes".
Like he just puts out such strange pieces of information that literally anything could be possible. He shows up to a League meeting one day soaked in Lazarus pit waters, and the only thing he says about it is an earnest apology for being late. His clothes audibly squelch when he sits down. The League is struggling to translate some old text because the language has literally been lost to time, and somehow Marvel not only knows it, but also other information that implies that he was alive at the time (he was not. Solomon is just very, very thorough). He casually mentions talking to gods like it's just another Tuesday. He eats weird shit. The way he uses magic gives the other magic users a huge migraine. He has very specific knowledge about not only being homeless in the 21st century, but also about being a homeless kid in the 21st century (he's very touchy about the foster care system). Sometimes things just see him and flee the other way. None of his villains take him seriously. He's friends with a magical tiger that sometimes talks. An ally refers to him as the "Incarnation of Magic" and the League takes that very literally. If you try and track him in his off hours or hunt him down literally at all it's like he just stopped existing. He's somehow very in touch with the modern world and also gets confused by the simplest things. Sometimes he talks about the Rock of Eternity like he was born there, died there, or like it's the place to take the ultimate power nap. Someone asks how he knows some forgotten dead language and he implies time travel. Diana thinks its continuous rebirth. Half the league has their money on immortal eldritch being. Was he created? Born? Is he even alive? The world may never know.

Reasons to watch Justice League: War (2014)
free on tubi
absolute banger start with Dry Humor Hal
"Batman is real????"
once again we bring you speculation of Batman Turned Villain?/Is He Abducting Random Civilians Or Is That Just Parademons?
We have Green Lantern thinking Batman's a cryptid right out of the gate then going "wait you're not just some guy in a bat costume, right?" while Batman gives him a deadpan stare and Green Lantern weeps and also they are in the sewers
Bruce "I make it my business to know" Wayne, for your consideration
Billy Batson conning his way into a football game
Billy Batson being a fan of Victor Stone??? and stealing his jersey
Victor is a nice young gentlemen to everyone except his father, with whom he devolves into Indignant Gremlin and will Break Things watch out
Flash and Victor's dad being friends
poor Barry went and got burritos for EVERYONE and SOMEONE STOLE HIS
Green Lantern and Batman already hate each other's guts
Bruce stole Green Lantern's ring just to be feral and made fun of him for it
✨Utility Belt✨
space cop Green Lantern
Superman's costume is so sexy
testosterone overdose with Green Lantern, Batman, and Superman all in the same scene: 368 dead, 1,590 injured. Obligatory catfight between those three while also there are hostile parademon soldiers flying around everywhere
Bruce stopping Superman in his tracks by saying his name quietly
Clark just staring at Batman for a second, then: "Bruce Wayne??"
"who's Bruce Wayne?" help
Diana publicly coerces a man into admitting that he cross-dresses as her and it makes him feel powerful while standing in the middle of a hostile mob on her way to meet the american president
3 seconds later she decides to ditch the president and go get ice cream
Diana thinks ice cream is The Best
Diana makes friends with Hannah and adopts her on the spot
🚨Flash and Green Lantern bromance!!🚨
"Batman is real????"
Diana is Bloodthirsty.
oops victor got yeeted. maybe he shouldn't have touched that glowing alien space box in his dad's lab
Billy's gonna fight demons in his backyard alone at night with a baseball bat which in no way seems saf--⚡SHAZAM⚡
squad is so lit my dudes
actually they are so cool together
the writers were clearly Clark/Diana shippers because man there was SO MUCH chemistry between those two
Diana gets to stab Darkseid in the eyeball with her sword :3
Barry gets to stab the other eyeball with a crowbar :3
Batman tells Green Lantern he's normal and then disguises himself as a civilian in .002 seconds and promptly hitches a ride on a parademon like he's hailing a fricking taxi and gets carried off into the night, leaving the rest of the heroes to hold the line while he tries to rescue Superman from wherever he got portal-ed off to single-handedly BRUCE SHUT UP
Green Lantern is really bad at giving speeches. but like. it's funny
Everyone kicks alien butt
Bruce does, in fact, end up saving Superman single-handedly
Victor is soooo OP
Diana punches Captain Marvel through a wall and shoves her sword in his face and says "you are a warrior, not a child! act like it!" LIKE NO MA'AM HE'S LITERALLY TEN YEARS OLD
Captain Marvel does not stop flirting with Diana throughout the time they work together
Green Lantern said "I like trains"
lads I am not joking about how cool the squad is
Victor has bad reception so he flies into the clouds. pray
Victor finds out Captain Marvel is actually an infant and lets him keep the jersey. Billy cracks jokes about his arm being a cannon
Diana calls them all gods. she said Batman is Hades. send help.
Sean Astin voices Captain Marvel
I'm not the biggest fan of the way they drew Superman's face. it's too shaped. BUT the rest of the animation is so spirited and vibrant. storyboard and choreography is phenomenal, not to mention the cinematography! amazing animation
Batman, to Green Lantern: let them think we're friends so the cops don't get me
dialogue is so much fun and so rich. no lines wasted. full to bursting with wit and humor
exposition is breathtaking, considering the time frame they were working with. I'm honestly floored. they took an hour of screen time and made it feel more than twice as long. holy kriff, that's some masterful storytelling right there
this film had more character development for a cast of seven than most modern movies--and some shows--have for one character
excellent voice acting
completely stand-alone; can be watched and thoroughly enjoyed without any prior knowledge

God I swear I already wrote this hc once upon a time but I can’t find it for the life of me so!
Billy Batson, young and homeless, is looking to make some extra cash to survive starts working at Whiz radio station. He gets bounced around doing various odd jobs but gets roped into taking over the nightly superhero hour when everyone else comes down sick. Bill doesn’t quite know what to do, he’s not great with words and hasn’t been to school in years. So he just starts talking from the heart. 
Billy talks about heroes, not just as paragons and icons but real live people being expected to shoulder the world. He brings up the various charities and causes heroes support and how ordinary citizens can be heroes in their own way. He never directly comments on current politics but instead speaks of morality and philosophy, not as a highly educated adult but a deeply empathetic child who has seen the worst the world has to over and continues to smile.
It’s an instant hit and Billy is brought on semi-permanently. He’s popular enough the radio forgives his odd hours and occasional absences and politely overlooks the fact that he ought to be in school/foster care. They give him a microphone that distorts his age and call him the Wizard. The show becomes so popular that it extends beyond Fawcett City and soon is being uploaded online and being broadcast around the country and behind. And some heroes listen in too. Barry listens to the program on his morning jog, it invigorates him to do better and makes him re-evaluate his role as a hero. Bruce will have it quietly in the background when he’s feeling low on a bad case to remind himself that all his efforts and suffering have meaning. Clark leans back in his chair at the Daily Planet and wonders how a civilian from the Midwest can understand the burden of heroism.
Billy is doing his program when the producer knocks on the glass window in a panic. Superman is here and wants to interview with Billy. Bill is freaking out, thinking he’s been caught but the first thing Supes does is gently cradle Billy’s small hands in his own and thank him for being a source of kindness and inspiration. Superman is thrown at first that the Wizard is a child, an obviously hardliving one at that, but presses on. The Man of Steel notoriously hard to interview but he chats easily with Billy, answering questions and debating morality and cause/effect of heroes and villains. The interview goes viral and soon even more heroes are stopping by.
Green Arrow comes and screams into the mic about the abuse of the government on underprivileged people. Wonder Woman and the Wizard have a fascinating, in depth discussion on gods and belief as both prove to be a wealth of obscure knowledge. One of the Robins comes and talks about kids in the hero biz and some unnnamed British man who keeps getting his swears bleeped out gives a kind of magic 101 which mostly translates to “don’t (bleep)ing mess with it”. Everyone wants to know who the Wizard is but his identity is locked down tight, first by Whiz radio, who knows they’ll be in trouble with child labor laws and the Justice League who has become obsessed with this kid. Many have wanted to adopt the precious bean to the detriment of Billy’s blood pressure.
Everyone always asks why Captain Marvel hasn’t come by for a visit. He’s so friendly and open and operates directly out of Fawcett City. Cap is sweating at the Watchtower when his friends are talking about the latest show and gently berating him for not interviewing. Billy is grimacing as his producer makes him ask, on air, if the Cap would show up for a chat. He just wanted to make a little bit of extra cash in his off hours and now he’s kind of an international sensation and unofficial hero whisperer. Maybe Constantine can help him with a sort of duplication spell?

Concept: Instead of joining a legit radio news station, Billy airs his own broadcast PSA and news.
But it's at like 3am and he talks about various topics he witnesses as Billy and Marvel - political, mundane, local, worldly, and he even delves into the occult and magical communities. Its wild.
Because old habits die hard, Billy masks his identity as a child (or like, early teen) via magic or Cyborg helps with a voice distorter since hes already helping Billy broadcast this in a way it wont lead back to him.
He calls himself the Wizard, which he shortens to Wiz, as reference to Shazam. But folks think it's a shot at Whiz Radio company.
It quickly gains popularity with various opinions and levels of belief. Some people think its satire or a next level podcast happening in real time, some think it's a conspiracy network and hes crazy, others think his info is too accurate to be anything but truth. But then he says weird things about supernatural beings and even more questions are raised. The magical community, of those who listen to radio, is equally enthralled and entertained.
And it is at like 3am, with no set schedule. Billy unintentionally becomes Fawcett's own cryptid and he has a blast.

Billy Batson was already exhausted, overworked, and sick when he was called to a fight with the League. When his body gives out and his identity is revealed, it sets off a series of events that leads to the League in the world's weirdest co-parenting situation.

“Swamp Thing is NOT a cryptid”
Billy Batson and Colin Wilkes end up on a superhero/DC weirdness podcast together. They don’t generally agree, there’s a lot of shouting. But NO fight has divided them and there loyal fans (the Batkes) like if Swamp Thing is a cryptid, Billy is a yes, Colin is a no. I mean Colin doesn’t think the hulking ginger monster known only as Abuse is a cryptid so must be a Gotham thing. Written from the POV of fans worried about the shows break up and doing wild fan theories of what's up 
send me a made-up fic title and i’ll tell you what i would write to go with it
