I've been thinking about how much I actually dislike Damian becoming Batman as an adult and how I think it would be way more impactful for his character if he broke away from both of his parents and formed his own identity, which led me to "Well, who should become Batman then?" and well. What if nobody becomes Batman after Bruce steps down. The family carry on his mission, his message, but not his title, because Bruce helped them become something else, helped them become better than him. The goal was never to become the next Batman, it was for them to grow and learn and become their own people. Batman never dies, he is an eternal symbol, but one that they all wear instead of physically inhabit. I think as Bruce ages he should realise that Gotham doesn't need Batman, because now it has so much more than just Batman.

A FEW.#and then whatever damian wants to be #i know batman is a mantle they hand around but like the theme of identity and becoming who YOU'RE meant to be is one i really like #and i think it's more meaningful for batman to be retired because he's not needed now he has a family now gotham has protectors now #this is not a new thought but ya know i'm just thinking about it to distract from whatever the fuck the comics are doing right now

| JayDick | Street! Batfam

Talon!Dick/Street Kid! Jason

JayDick Story idea!!! Sorry, I couldn't resist, people never really mention Dick getting sent to Juvie. So why not mention that and though in Street kid Jason the court of owls. The batfam come pretty early on or in the first two years of this whole thing so here you go...

Can DC do a earth where Dick meets Jason on the Streets while looking for Tony Zoucco, and they form their own kid protection gang? Dick could be from Juvie or just ran away from being a Talon (he could also be mute). Dick is the guy who seems into the rafters to get blackmail on the other gangs, and is like a shadow or assassin of the gang. Jason is a street kid that knows all the rumors and secret passages/hideaways of the Streets and is the leader of the gang and is called the Red Hood(ie).

They could like Taken in or are sponsored by Tim who is like an honorary Street kid because he knows Street stuff cause he follows Batman and takes pics... Steph could just be following her dad and find the place and then give them a heads up about the Rouge Gallery Rumors...

And Cass runs away/is ordered to keep Dami safe and Goes to Gotham to find Damis Dad and be safe cause she doesn't want to kill and runs into Tim bc she's stalking Batman and sees him or finds Steph the lookout for her father, and they take them to the gang.

About 1-2 year's later when the gangs basically independentlly stable, batman, not Bruce Wayne, bassicly adopts the whole gang or/and Jason becomes a crime lord to control crime with his same drug rules (No kids, or pregnant people) only killing thoughts that are rapists, don't kill for a reason, are human traffickers, or ecedra.

Dick could still become a hero and become Nightwing or he could become Jason's enforcer, Tim could manage the money or strategies, Dami I hope would be Dicks child or closes brother and I would hope for a jaydick fic...

Cass could be an enforcer too, or be like Dami and/or Tim’s bodyguard. Steph I think would cause chaos and probably be a small-time hero just being more focused on protecting the gang or being there for the little guys

now I haven't really mentioned Babs but I think she would be a mix of Batgirl and Oracle. Since she is pretty alone and being the first sidekick or child hero she relies more on the police info and eavesdropping before Batman/Batwomen takes her under their wing.

Honestly I think Dick after he learns how to fight to teach the other Street kids, (He learns in Juvie and Batman, or he learns bc talon training) but when he teaches Jason they both have to learn to accommodate Jasons street style and it's the first time Dick feelings something negative towards Jason, or first time they have a fight, or first time Jason yells at Dick...

I just realized that a way they could meet!!! Dick is sent to gather info on Tony Zucco for The court of owls after he kills him he will become a full talon, and so he's snooping in the rafters of a warehouse. Jason was lifting the Batmobiles tires and Joker decided to Torcher him for shits and giggles. So Dick stumbles upon Joker beating Jason and has a flashback to Juvie and so with his new instincts accidentally kills the joker and saves Jason. Jason has some broken fingers, a fractured hand(or something, and a concussion. This leads him to go towards the panicking Talon, who according to his mum's stories will cut off his head if he is bad, and is like I owe you one if you need a place to lay low my place is open. At this point Jason hugs Talon and faints, Talon hides in the rafters, and only leaves after he sees Batman treating Jason. Talon gets punished or something, but anyway He goes out over the next few weeks getting info on Tony Zucco and finding/checking in on Jason. Or Jason could help him by telling Talon about gang rumors and Batman gets a tracker on him at some point. So after Talon kills Tony Zucco he comes back to a destroyed court panics and runs to Jason's fire escape because that's where they normally talk and Jason is what Jason defines a friend as. So Talon is like if I teach you to fight I can stay, and Jasons like you could've stayed anyways if you earn your keep. And Batman's like shit there is a Talon who is a child so low impulse control is out there, gotta find him.

Please Message me the link if you make/made a fix like this, please! Especially if this inspired it!!! 🥺 Please!!!
