Summary : Today on Buzzfeed Unsolved, we look into the Murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne.
Tumblr media
“Today on Buzzfeed Unsolved, we’re digging into a rather famous case,” Ryan begins, a grin on his face. “Its actually a case I grew up hearing about, and one that I like to keep an eye on from time to time. So I was, very, excited to get permission to do this case.”
“Oh, is this what I think it is?” Shane questioned.
“You saw the file,” Ryan gave his friend a look.
“Yeah, but I wasn’t sure if it was a file or just a list of things you wanted to talk about if you ever got permission,” Shane protested. “I mean, you’ve brought this case up pretty frequently.”
“Yes, yes, that is definitely the case,” Ryan agreed, turning a giddy grin to the file. “Today, ladies and gentlemen, we’re looking at the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne.”
“This is going to be interesting,” Shane clapped.
“Was that sarcastic?”
“No.”
“It felt sarcastic.”
“Eh…maybe a little. You do go on and on about this case.”
“Yeah, but only, like, vague details.”
“Sure. Vague.”
Ryan shot Shane a look, to which Shane stared right back with a flat look. After a moment, Ryan turned away and flipped over the file.
“Shall we begin?”
“Yeah, of course,” Shane motioned with a flippant wave of his hand. “Let’s begin!”
A giddy grin filled Ryan’s face as he turned to the case file.
“On June 26th, at 10:47 pm, the world lost two of the kindest rich people anyone could have met. But first, let’s get a bit into their background. Doctor Thomas Wayne-”
“Wait. Doctor? Thomas Wayne was a Doctor?”
“Yeah! I was getting there! Let me get there!”
“Okay. Okay. You’ve just never mentioned he was a doctor, before.”
“I told you, you didn’t know everything. There’s a lot about this family I haven’t mentioned.”
“Well now I’m intrigued.”
“Doctor Thomas Wayne was born the son of Patrick Wayne and Laura Elizabeth Wayne. This made Thomas Wayne one of the last living descendants of the Five Families of Gotham.”
“Five Families.”
“Yeah…I…don’t know why I included that.”
“You weren’t going to explain?”
“I am now.”
“The Five Families of Gotham are the Crowne Family, which died out years ago with Amelia Crowne, though their of rumors of an illegitimate child. Maybe we’ll do that another time. The Cobblepot family, and we all know what happened to that family. The Elliots, Kanes, and Waynes. These Five Families are credited to helping build Gotham.”
“Doctor Thomas Wayne dedicated his time to his medical studies, his family company, to helping the Glades, and to his family. Doctor Thomas Wayne was originally not the inheritor of the Wayne fortune as he was the youngest child of the Waynes. But Philip Wayne died in Afghanistan, and Agatha Wayne renounced her family name when she married into the Carson family. Doctor Thomas Wayne, with a full medical degree, and a budding physician having started a free clinic in Park Row, found himself the inheritor of a multi-million dollar company.”
“Park Row?”
“Better known as Crime Alley.”
“Oh! Wait…it’s name isn’t actually Crime Alley?”
“Yeah, surprising, right?
“Martha Wayne was born into another Founding Family. The Kane Family. Her family history, of course, is a little rockier in the public eye than most of the world’s wealthy would prefer. Nathan Kane married a woman named Kathy Webb and was disowned, losing his grasp of the inheritance. Philip Kane is the inheritor, and the line might just die out with him. Jacob Kane lost his first wife and one of his daughters, remarried, and became an army general. Arthur Kane is recluse and not staying with his family. Martha Wayne seemed to break out.”
“Good for her.”
“Wow.”
“What?”
“You just seem pretty on board with that.”
“Well, yeah. I like history.”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“A lot.”
“You’re not…you’re not…going to…elaborate?”
“Nope! That’s an entirely different video.”
“Oh…kay.”
“Martha Wayne married Doctor Thomas Wayne as one of many acts of rebellion. Martha’s mother didn’t approve of the marriage at all, and even threatened to disown Martha. Martha’s other most notable act of rebellion was to become a social worker.”
“I like this couple more and more.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Here are two people. Helping others.”
“That they did.”
“Most people with money would just… throw it on junk. Not them. They seem like good people.”
“Later, Doctor Wayne and Martha welcomed a son into the world. Bruce Thomas Wayne. Then, eight years later, while taking their son to a movie in Park Row, a man stepped out of the shadows. As told by the account of Bruce Wayne, the only surviving witness, the mysterious man demanded their money and Martha’s pearls. However, the two barely had a chance to grab said items before the first bullet was fired. Thomas Wayne died almost immediately with that first shot. Martha moved to grab her son, but that was when the second shot was fired, and she, too, died almost instantly, according to police reports. A couple hours later, the police arrived.”
“That poor kid.”
“Yeah, I know. He was with his parents for a couple hours.”
“His parents just died, and he’s probably sitting there, begging them to wake up. And no one is there to help. That’s…that’s terrible. I’m surprised the guy wasn’t more messed up.”
“You could probably argue he was a little messed up.”
“Really?”
“Well, he did disappear for a few years, then reappear acting like a, you know, a floozy rich guy.”
“What?”
“Maybe we’ll cover that another time, too. But, long story short, Bruce applied to the FBI, got in, then quit the FBI, disappeared, and came back as a generous, but perky rich playboy.”
“That…that’s…”
“Now that we’ve talked about the Waynes and their murder. Let’s talk about why this case is unsolved and then get into a few theories. To begin, the Wayne Murder case was never solved. Mainly because the only living witness besides the killer, was Bruce Wayne, an eight year old boy who was left beside his parents bodies for hours. The shock definitely kicked in, and because of how dark it was, Bruce was unable to see the man’s face.”
“Of course a traumatized boy wouldn’t be able to identify his parents’ killer! What the heck do people expect!”
“Yeah…not the GCPD’s finest moment.”
“The First theory is that the Falcone Family did the hit.”
(Wheeze) “A mob hit?”
“Yeah, we definitely don’t get those all that often, do we?”
“We never get those!”
“This theory actually has some weight. It’s rumored that Thomas Wayne was actually a close friend of Francesco Falcone. A bond that formed when Thomas Wayne supposedly saved Francesco Falcone’s life during a mob hit. It’s also rumored that Thomas and Martha met at one of Francesco Falcone’s parties.”
(Cackling!)
“What?”
“If this theory is true, then my respect for Martha Wayne has skyrocketed! That woman was a rebel!”
“Really? After everything I just said, that’s what you want to go with.”
“The Kanes were jerks. I’m allowed to be proud of the woman.”
“However, its also noted that at some point, Thomas and Falcone stopped talking to each other. Their friendship supposedly fell apart, and if they left on bad terms, its possible that the Falcone family ordered the hit. However, unless the GCPD is covering it up, there is no proof behind this theory, nor is there much proof that Thomas and Falcone ever actually had a friendship other than a few pictures of the two at parties. And, if you know nothing about Gotham, you should know that Gang Leaders mixing with the Elites is…pretty common.”
“Too common.”
“Way too common.”
“But, I’ll be honest, I’m not sure this theory has too much weight.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I mean, think about it. Saving someone’s life is…a pretty serious debt. Like, a life for a life debt, except you save it. If Doctor Thomas really saved Falcone, then the betrayal had to be dead awful for him to turn like that.”
“That’s…that’s a good point. We’ll put that theory on hold, then.”
“The second theory is that the Court Of Owls planned the hit.”
“The Court of Owls?”
“Yeah. You heard of them?”
“Yeah, I’ve heard of them. If you had mentioned this, before, I might have been way more interested in this case.”
“Wow, I had no idea you were so excited about this.”
“It’s history, Ryan! Of course I’m excited about it!”
“You realize this is Gotham’s biggest Ghost Story, right?”
“Of course. But I also know the history around it.”
“The Court of Owls are a long standing legend in Gotham. The rumors claim that the court is comprised of Elites, supposedly related to the Crowne family. According to legend, the Court recruits elites into their system, and they recruit civilians to be assassins. These assassins kill those that oppose the Court.”
“That was a rough version of the Court of Owls. Not bad.”
“Thank. But now I’m curious to know what you know.”
“Maybe another time. Its too long to go into.”
“It’s believed that Thomas and Martha Wayne opposed the Court of Owls, and because of this, they were killed by a Talon.”
“I’d agree with that...”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Yeah, I would. If ever there was a conspiracy theory I’d believe, it’s the existance of the Court of Owls. The history is fascinating.”
“Wow, I guess we…really need to do a history lesson on the Court of Owls.”
“The only thing that I think is a little sketchy is the fact that they…left Bruce Wayne alive.”
“Oh?”
“It’s not their style. Unless Bruce Wayne agreed to join the Court. But…given his charities and stuff, I doubt it.”
“Huh. I guess that’s fair.”
“The third theory…”
“What?”
“You’re gonna hate this?”
“Don’t say aliens.”
“Nope. Not aliens.”
“The third theory is that Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered by a ghost.”
“No.”
“Oh, yes!”
“Ryan. No!”
“The Wayne family went through Park Row, a place well known as Crime Alley. There are a number of Crimes that happen there in a day, so its no wonder a large population believe the mysterious killer that was never caught and never seen was that of a ghost who lost his life in a mugging attempt where he failed.”
“The Court of Owls theory holds more weight than this.”
(Cackling)
“You know what, I can and will deny this theory. Forget this theory.”
“How does this hold less weight than the Court of Owls.”
“I need to give you a history lesson.”
“The fourth theory is that it was an inside job done by the GCPD. Due to the fact that the guy was never caught, and the history of police corruption, its not surprising that this was a theory that popped up. In fact, up until Jim Gordon became Commissioner, many cases in Gotham like this one were swept under the rug.”
“Good old Jim Gordon.”
“He was on this case, actually.”
“He was?”
“Yep. In fact, it’s rumored that this particular case was what led Gordon to turn the GCPD around. And he’s supposedly still close to Bruce Wayne.”
“Really?”
“His daughter dated Bruce’s oldest son.”
“Nice.”
“With all these theories, there still isn’t any clear answer as to who killed Thomas and Martha Wayne. And that leaves this particular case…Unsolved.”
“They don’t deserve that,” Shane sighed.
“Yeah, they seemed like genuinely good people for rich people,” Ryan agreed with a nod. “What do you think happened?”
Shane winced, scratching the back of his head. “Right. I like the Court of Owls theory, but…I think it was a rando mugging.”
“Then…then how do you explain the lack of a suspect?”
“Police corruption. The Waynes were trying to turn Gotham around. A few corrupt cops just…swept it under the rug.”
“That’s…” Ryan froze, looking down at his files. “That’s actually not a bad theory. Why didn’t anyone use that theory.”
“Maybe they’re not supposed to.”
“That’s terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.”
... .... .... ..... .... .... .... ....
“ This is...”
Jason paused, sending a look towards his younger brother.
“Genius?” Tim gave a sharp, Cheshire grin.
“Definitely,” Jason grinned back. “What exactly did you give them permission to do?”
“You’ll have to wait and see.”

withdrawals from imagined things | pattinson!batman 
Tumblr media
series: staring into the echo | 1 | 2 | 3 pairing: pattinson!batman x reader  summary: bruce is supposed to be your partner. But now there's someone else. And now, every affection you've ever had dissolves in front of your eyes. That is, until Bruce has something to say about it.  wc: 2.3k+  genre: angsty, reader has doubts about feelings, sad, but has a happy ending (in part 3 <3)  a/n: know your worth people. know your worth.
Tumblr media
There were many times you and Bruce narrowly escaped battles. Many times having all your limbs and a working heartbeat was a miracle. 
None of those times included Bruce staring at another woman. Such transfixed care and concern in his eyes.
Maybe it shouldn’t have bothered you. Partners didn’t typically care if their partners had other people in their lives.
But you and Bruce worked together often. Like any good professionals, you made a good team. You cared about each other, looked out for each other, and protected each other. 
You had come to depend on him. Seeing him with someone else sent a warning through your head, sent an ache through your heart. 
Bruce was starting to slip away from you. It’s as if now he drifts somewhere out of your reach, even though in a few steps you could be standing right next to him. You don’t understand what was happening between him and that woman, but you know it has nothing to do with you. It will never have anything to do with you.
A wall that you didn’t see before now appeared between you two. It wasn’t a wall you knew was there either. You didn’t come to realize the depth of your affection for Bruce until now. Until it was already too late.
Your hand itches. Only minutes ago, your clawed your way out of the debris of the collapsed building you and Bruce were in. You reach up to flick pieces of brick off your face.
You can’t help but compare it to how images of you and Bruce. Light scoffs and tenderly sealing up wounds after missions. Warm smiles. Hesitant touches on arms and hands. Breaths stopping and restarting, either from laughing or proximity. 
All of it dissolves in the grey sunlight. 
You know there wouldn’t be more moments like those. The realization coils around your chest, your throat, your tongue. Hot. Unyielding.
Saying anything to Bruce would just make everything worse. You aren’t sure you’d be able to say anything at all. Your feelings of betrayal hang heavy on your face. It pools around your eyes. It distorts your vision. 
You understand it now. It’s not that you’re partners. It’s not that you felt something for him. You’re comfortable with him. You feel safe with him.
Felt. Felt safe. The instability in your core won’t let you feel that way now.
You turn your palms up and carefully fleck the tiny pieces of brick and dirt and pebbles off your hand. They leave small, deep impressions all over your skin; all are tiny reminders of barely making it out. It feels like a part of you had collapsed too. 
Lieutenant Gordon appears in front of you. So enraptured by your hand, you don’t notice two new police cars. A blur of crimson and cobalt washes the rising ashen dust in color.
Gordon’s voice is clear and focused. It’s nice to hear, to get some organization in the rambling starting in your brain. A visualization of Bruce and the red-haired woman laughing and bumping into each other flashes across your mind. You flinch.
“You alright, officer?” Gordon’s eyes work across your dirtied uniform and messy hair. You’re positive dust and cuts cover your cheeks.
You manage a nod and studiously avoid his gaze. Gordon would see right through you. Instead, you fixate your attention on another officer helping a man to an ambulance. 
You think you catch Bruce looking over at you out of the corner of your eye. It’s likely wishful thinking.
“Fine,” you sigh. “All the wounded are cleared. The building is one cough away from caving, but there should be some people working on it.”
You feel Gordon’s quizzical eyes on the side of your face. You blink, knowing you would have to look him in the eye before he would move on. He has to really see if you’re just as fine as you claim to be.
It’s endearing and frustrating how he knew your tone could say one thing but your eyes could say another.
You lick your lips and turn toward Gordon. “How is the inner city? Did our favorite villain get that far?”
It’s Gordon’s turn to look away, eyes scanning the scene briefly. “It went about as well as it could. The bastard’s fast. But the Riddler can’t run forever.” His eyes return to your face, a gently smug look on his face. “Only so many sewers to hide in.”
You chuckle and feel some of Gordon’s scrutiny waver. You finally look toward him. Bright splotches of dust and debris cling to his jacket. “Buildings fell near you too?” You mutter, reaching out to swipe some of the powder off his clothing. 
Gordon shrugs and sighs. A new smudge lingers where your fingers had been. You rub your hands across each other as he defeatedly answered. “Just one. Unlike you and the Bat here, we were a little late.”
A little late is code for casualties. Gordon’s jaw tenses and his eyes lose a bit of their sharp focus. He’s disappointed in himself. 
You knew isn’t his fault just like it isn’t the people’s fault either. They were victims of crime and chaos. Nobody could be everywhere at once. 
You’re used to checking in on each other, but this is one of the first times that Gordon vocalized his deeper thoughts. Sharing in sadness with your lieutenant was the last thing you were expecting. It makes you feel less alone, even if your melancholy came from different places.
You press your lips in a sympathetic line. “I’m sorry, Gordon.”
“Yeah,” his voice gravels. “There was a little boy this time.” He swallows and places shaky hands on his hips. “There won’t be a next time.”
You reach out to place a hand on his shoulder and squeeze. “No, there won’t.”
His smile tinges with sorrow but gratitude floats behind it. That’s good enough for you. You let your hand fall away.
Gordon’s gloomy slouch reminds you of your own. You spare another look toward Bruce. 
His eyes flutter over to yours. Then, he’s looking back at the beautiful, small woman in front of him. Before she could turn to see who Bruce was looking at, you duck and angle yourself toward Gordon.
A weak sigh blows through your nostrils. You hate feeling this way. 
Everything is tight and tense. Your words are becoming squeezed and painful. Talking is nearly out of the question. 
You need to do some quiet work, take a shower, and go to bed early. You don’t have the energy for much else.
You watch embers and soot float down in front of you. Gordon does the same. A comfortable silence of shared blues and dissociation stretches between you.
Gordon is the first to break it. “You going back with him?” 
You look at Gordon with unfocused eyes before you notice him tilting his head in Bruce’s direction. You couldn’t hide the bittersweet expression on your face even as you attempt a smirk. “Not today. Think I’m going to head to the station to write my statement. Maybe take a shower.”
Gordon nods and hums. His quiet response only further confirms that he senses something is up between his partner-in-justice and you. 
Normally, you and Bruce would leave together. You would trade information and conclusions, swap theories and leads to follow. Alfred would help too. Tea would be made, biscuits nibbled on, and when you were ready, you and Bruce would work on smoothing over cuts with bandages and emotions with comforting words.
Not tonight. Maybe no longer. You aren’t quite ready to process what that means. What that would do to you.
“Well,” Gordon muses, “take it easy. I’m having breakfast tomorrow at the diner just off of 26th if you want to stop by.” 
Your heart warms at his invitation. 
You know he invited you because he could tell something was wrong. Gordon always tries to support you. It felt nice that he wants to be there while you sort through it all. 
At the same time, you register that he might have asked because he wanted company too. He desires what you refuse to acknowledge right now. An opportunity to process what happened with someone who understood.
Smirking, you respond, “I might just take you up on that offer. See you soon, Gordon.”
You look over your shoulder once. 
You and Bruce lock eyes. You watch as he angles his body toward you. He starts to take a step in your direction. 
Then, you looked away. Walking to a squad car, you hail a ride back to the station.
Filing the papers is easy. Keeping your mind focused on the work instead of Bruce’s actions is not. 
Instead of the usual hour, it takes you nearly three hours to finish your report. Every so often your eyes would drift away, focusing on some random object. In the haze, you could replay the way Bruce leaned into the woman.
Woman. That’s how Bruce must have seen her. 
As a woman, as a beautiful, tough, and delicate person that should be cared for, should be loved. 
You’re just the partner. A person who helps sort out his life and nothing more. Sure, you two probably like each other’s company. Good partnerships require it. 
But that’s all. 
When you got home, you quickly got in the shower. While the water washes away the dirt, your mind is finally able to quiet for a few moments. You take your time washing your hair. The suds collect all over your hands and up your arms before you rinse them away. 
For a time, you’re able to start sorting through how what happened in that building. As you brush your teeth, you string together explanations for how the explosions were placed, why they denoted they did, and the chaos used to overshadow the governor’s press conference.
You couldn’t figure out why certain buildings were targeted the way they were. Hopefully, Gordon would have more information in the morning. 
You throw on your pajamas and exit the steam-filled room. The towel wrapped around your head sways as you walk to the fridge to eat something. Your limbs and brain are too tired to make anything, so you decide on some cubed cheese and already washed and separated grapes.
As you eat, you looked down at your hands, finding a few scrapes. 
A few weeks ago, Bruce cradled your hand so preciously as he had applied anointment and gently pressed a bandage against a deep cut. You just narrowly avoided a knife to the face, instead catching the blade with your hands and wrestling it out of your assailant’s grasp.
Bruce tensed the entire time you told him what happened. He looked almost furious but still, he managed to be so tender with you as he cleaned and patched your injuries. It made you feel cared for and seen in a way that you hadn’t in a long time. 
It made you think you actually deserved care. You could receive care from those who actually care about you. And somehow, they would want to volunteer this care without obligation. 
That’s what you used to think. Now you couldn’t be certain Bruce’s actions don’t come without a sense of obligation.
If you were gone, Bruce would have no one who would listen to him ramble on and on about what he thought. No one would be as careful as you were while you iced bruises and placed tape over stitches. He wouldn’t have a partner anymore. That was enough for anyone to feel obligated to keep their partners safe.
The dull scar on your palm glints in the kitchen light you left on. It’s the only light on in the room.
You sigh. Even the darkness reminded you of him. 
You want to stop thinking about it all, about how your heart hurt, about how the cheese and grapes don’t taste like anything because the grief over a relationship you realized you don’t have made it taste like flavorless mush, about how the disappointment was conjuring tears to your eyes.
You need it to stop. It’s all becoming too much.
After only two handfuls of cheese and three of the grapes, you place their respective bowls back into the fridge and walk to your room, keeping the lights off. 
The click of the fridge closing mixed with the click of your bedside lamp switch. This would be the only light you’d leave on. You have to. The darkness would just bring back things you don’t want to think about.
As you burrow under your bed covers, you turn on your tv to let its mindless drawl keep you from retreating too far into your memories of Bruce. 
The recollections of patch-up jobs start to take on a different color now. Instead of the soft warm hues you remember in them, they’re fizzling into deep grays and sharp whites. It’s like your brain is removing your emotional connection to them. Dulling them to protect yourself.
It isn’t working. The gold is always still there, still lingering behind the silvery clouds, fighting through their clumps in strands of warm light.
You give up, smothering your head with a pillow and adjusting till you faced your window with city lights peeking through the blinds. If you can’t get your little flicker of hope that you’re wrong about your new perspective on Bruce to go away, maybe you could distract yourself enough to go to sleep.
And you did. You watched cars peel up and down the now rain-covered streets. People huddle under umbrellas or streak through the rain. 
It’s numbing. Your eyes unfocus and droop close. Just before sleep gives you relief from thoughts about Bruce, a white circle appears in the sky. 
You try to close your eyes and ignore it; it will only give your brain more fuel to run on. 
But you know what the circle is as quickly as your subconscious does. The bat signal colors the back of your eyelids. You scrunch your eyes firmly closed and work to count sheep to finally get to sleep.

I feel like Battinson would eventually bring up the bats to Selina. Like her cats would be crawling on him, and he’d look down at one and then up at her, and in an attempt to be personable, he’d say, “I have bats.”
And she’d be like, “You have bats?” And he’d nod, and she’d go, “Pet bats?”
And he’d say, “They’re not really pets. It’s more like they live in my house. And I also live in my house.”
“You have a... bat infestation?”
“No, it’s their house, too.”
And she’d respect him for that.

Could you do some yandere Battinson, Pleaseee? I'm thirsty for it 😩
A/N: The hell I can 😍 made relationship hcs based on it, enjoy!!
Pairing: Battinson x reader (The Batman 2022)
Warnings: Obsessive loving behaviour 🦇
Tumblr media
• As if Bruce not being a yandere in a relationship isn’t enough already 😂
• He’s very perceptive and observant, especially with reading your expressions or moods when they’re out of the ordinary. Maybe someone upset you? You need Vengeance? Literally?? Boy’s gone.
• Bruce is naturally protective, since you’re one of the few people left that he genuinely cares for. He can’t let anyone take you away from him, and will go to drastic measures to ensure it. He lives for you, The Batman is for you… you’re his everything 🖤
• He’s a lil shy with initiating cuddle or kissing sessions, but once you start them, he doesn’t want you to stop. Your touch and affection is the warmest, most comforting feeling Bruce has had since his parents died, and he’s addicted to it.
• Bruce likes keeping tabs on where you are and isn’t very good at being subtle 😅 he might be fighting crime outside and peeking in through the windows of your room in Wayne Manor with his binoculars, and probably has cameras set up - but not so much to be controlling or anything, more to check you’re doing okay
• He has irrational fears of abandonment, like, coming home and you not being there even though there’s no chance of it happening 🥺 so being able to see you on a screen and hold your hand at home calms him instantly
• Whenever he’s dazed by what he sees and feels a bit depressed, he always comes to you for silent comfort and gets annoyed at any interruption
• Bruce Wayne as a yandere wouldn’t be so much about literally tying you up to make sure you stay safe and he could never bring himself to hurt you, and since he doesn’t kill/use guns he finds his own ways to deal with your problems.
• Yep, your problems are his 🥰
• He’s very protective and clingy in his own way, and everyone Alfred can see it clearly; it’s a good thing though, man’s in love 😍

Things that I think have Edward Nashton ✨Vibes✨ or like random headcannons for him.
The Early Fall Out Boy albums.
Mainly I think he’d love Take This To Your Grave (he’s big into Tell Mick he just made my list of things to do today) and From Under the Cork Tree (Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner, I Slept with Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I got was this song) and Folie à deux (mans screams 20 Dollar Nosebleed driving home after a murder)
Has a beat up to hell DSI he saved a bunch of money up for. Is the undisputed king of Brain Age. Has that DS game that’s just a bunch of public domain classic books.
The DSI itself is like really beat up from riding around in his book bag. He’s changed the battery multiple times so it’s basically running on spite and coffee fumes! Just like him!
I think Eddie would also be an MCR fan, Mama makes him cry his eyes out. Legit heartbroken when they broke up. Absolutely lost his (already gone) fucking mind when Foundations of Decay came out.
Has a deep buried desire to be loved and held and cared for. Does not know how to express it or attain it. Poor guy is the definition of touch starved.
When he does order food at the diner he keeps it pretty simple. Like a sandwich maybe a BLT if he’s feeling fancy. Mostly it’s pie time bay-bee! Also too much coffee
Pretend to hate Starbucks, says Frappes are just milkshakes with like a drop of coffee in them. Loves to play the Coffee Snob™️. But this motherfucker would inject Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Frappes into his bloodstream if he could!
Speaking of Fall things favorite season right there. He loves Spoopy stuff!
The air getting colder, the leaves changing color, it’s crisper and Gotham is allllllmost a tolerable place to be in. Not when you’re right in the center of the city, that’s dank and nasty. But go to the parks or the outskirts and yeah he can vibe with that.
Is strangely enough a master at hair braiding. He picked up the skill from the Orphanage.
Really loved Roald Dahl books as a kid. Back when he was still innocent and idealistic (before everything went to shit and even a little after in the Orphanage) he would try really hard to see if he had Matilda powers.
Like he’s stand in the bathroom and give himself a migraine trying to flip the switch with his mind. It never worked! 😔✊
Shockingly don’t think he’s an Incel, is he dismissive of other people and outwardly rude? Yes, yes he is! But he just can’t give enough of a fuck about other people to give a shit about who’s having sex and who’s not. Still lonely tho…
I think his parents (to make him sadder, who doesn’t wanna kick around the Blorbo a lil) were/are a Rich Girl who was studying at Gotham University with a Law Degree and the son of her Landlord’s who was also studying. A joint study session or two and they had their little fling and boom! Eddie.
His birth mom is from Metropolis actually! His birth dad disappeared under mysterious circumstances. (Rich Girl’s dad paid him a bunch of money to fuck off out of Gotham and never talk to Ed or his mom ever again)
Neither of them have his last name and his records are hella obscured. Trust me, Eddie tried to find out something, fucking anything.
Rich Girl Mom went on to marry some Rich Boy and she ended up with a MRS. Degree and had two half siblings. She often wonders about him. Saw what happened in Gotham and felt terrible and responsible for how he turned out. Just uh… not enough to like actually reach out and help him.
Eddie hates people but will never be mean to a child. Especially not the children in his building. He likes kids, they’re honest and non-judgmental.
Deep down he still wants a spouse, a nice 4 (one room is his office/man cave) bed and 3 bath house on the outskirts of Gotham with 3.5 kids and Golden Retriever or some shit like that.
Watches/watched too many movies and thinks relationships are supposed to be like a rom-com.
Is in a few Discord servers, has his own for the Riddler but also has like a group of internet geeks he plays D&D and like Jackbox or TF2 with.
He is the D&D Dungeon Master thank you VERY much! When he’s not in charge (he will fight tooth and nail on this) he likes to play Wizards, he’s a classic Elven Wizard guy. Always super high intelligence and Wisdom stats. Has the worst fucking luck on charisma throws, even worse luck when it’s a saving throw.
He had/has friends he just self isolates into a pile of hatred for the world and self loathing so his relationships are shaky.
This dude fucking loves the Sims, Sims 2 is his Nostalgia fave but he really got into the Sims 3 and had played that one the most.
I think he smells nice and doesn’t use like 3 in 1 shampoo. It’s still shit like store brand generic green man soap. But he takes care of his skin and his hair.
Avid wearer of sunscreen, will burn if he doesn’t wear it. Objects majorly to going outside during the summer.
Has one faintly chipped tooth from when he got slammed into a toilet in Middle School.
Was a Library TA in high school. Mainly his senior year since he really didn’t need to take anymore classes other than like an elective (shop class and one more language course. He picked German)
Likes the smell of spearmint, vanilla lotion (especially on a pretty girl), leather, old books and the metallic smell of fresh blood. Also coffee but that was a given.
Can technically cook but chooses not to.
Okay, I really should fucking stop this is already so long. 😖😫 But I love him.
By god I have to add onto this post!
My dude is a raging pansexual, like you all saw how feral he was for Batman.
He has such a weird way of getting crushes on people. One time a cute guy was vaguely nice to him when he got his coffee order and this poor guy already planned out their entire wedding and what they’d name their kids.
Cannot initiate to save his life in those situations. Gets too up in his head and his mean ole brain is like “A you’re disgusting, B. You’re getting distracted from your mission you fucking loser and, C. We gotta circle back to what a gross loser you are.”
If someone showed interest in him he’d short circuit and then assume it was some kind of prank. Please reassure him, he needs it.
As for mental health stuff ima project onto the husband here.
Has BPD, why? The outbursts, getting unhealthy attached to Batman without even knowing him, the mood swings. He just seems like the type.
ADHD my dude lives in organized chaos. Nobody else knows where anything is in his place and that’s how he likes it. He’s got his hyperfixations! Riddles and puzzles being one. Numbers too! He seems like the type of person who would bounce their leg a lot.
Pens are his stim toys, you can bite em, you can tap them, you can click them and they write! 
Tried to go to a gay bar once, he did not make it through the door, mostly sat in his car trying to hype himself up.
Once he got his Riddler outfit tho…. Ooh he was in there and it still freaked him out. Mostly it was him sitting in a corner trying to blend in and lowkey drooling over every hot person that passed him by.
Watched/watched Gravity Falls. He liked Dipper, kinda hates Mabel but not really and full on loves Ford
He’s always hated Harry Potter, thought it was stupid and whenever someone asked him what his house was he’d be like “I don’t have a Hogwarts house because I’m not a child.
Green Apple and Lime are the best flavors fight him.
He used to drink like way too much Monster and other energy drinks but they kinda give him heart palpitations now so he sticks to coffee.
He likes arcades, there’s one that’s been around forever by his place. The folks who own the place are pretty nice to him.
Very pinchable cheeks. You knew tho!
Wears socks in bed! His peets get cold.

Bruce Wayne Fluff
(Because the Batman movie lives in my head rent free and Robert Pattinson Batman is very hot)
Tumblr media
Bruce comes home in late hours in the night to the early morning, his duties as Batman hinder the time you two spend together however you cherish the moments you do have. You’re already fast asleep when Bruce finally comes home after he got called in for business, he walked silently through the house as to not wake you and got ready for bed. He put his suit away, got dressed in some comfortable sweatpants, and wiped off his makeup from the night. You stir when you feel the bed dip down beside you from his weight as your eyes flutter open. You’re met with his worried gazed as he tries to hush you back to sleep however you just smile and give him a gentle hug. He whispered a quiet apology and all you could respond with was a groggy nod. You enjoy laying in his chest, his heartbeat is soothing to listen to, it makes you aware that he’s going to be with you for the rest of the night and it makes for a more peaceful sleep.You felt his thin nimble fingers lace into your hair and play with it while he planted gentle kisses upon your head. You loved these moments with all your heart, the tender snuggles made your heart swell and you wished they would last forever. You heard a quiet ‘I love you’ which made you smile against his chest and repeat it “I love you too”. Between him playing with your hair and his soft voice you where sure you doze back off to sleep, and that you did. He couldn’t help but smile at the sight while he held you close in his arms. He stayed up for another hour or so to make sure you where safe before falling asleep with you.

🌝 Pisces Moon with bruce wayne?
i love this pathetic man SO much
he sleeps with socks on (not regular ones, those thick insulated ones for winter)
has an irrational fear of the color green
was selectively mute up until he was like 17 (for various reasons)
used to have tea parties with his stuffed animals and alfred would help him set them up
sleeps in his study more often than he does in his room
refuses to look at himself in any mirrors
genuinely goes outside during the day so infrequently that the sun burns his eyes and he gets sunburn SOO easily
🌸 Join in my birthday event! 🌸

nightwing being hurt in the field, and over comms he can’t get out what was wrong, nearly in shock, and jason puts on his best batman™️ voice and says “robin, report.”
and it snaps dick out of it enough to say concussion, possible broken ribs, and a gash in his side.
no one talks about it, and then a year later, damian does the same thing to tim

Headcanon where after so many arguments between the batkids and Bruce over his paranoia and complete disregard for his kids privacy, the entire family had compromised with (in the healthiest way possible) downloading life360 on their phones and that's how they all keep track of each other.
Now Bruce knew that this is mostly for his benefit and is supposed to be a healthy alternative for his unhealthy paranoia and helicopter parenting, but what he wasn't expecting was for his kids to start keeping track of him.
He's putting gas in his car and Dick calls him because apparently Dick has been watching him drive around on the app? And Bruce is currently at a gas station thats right around the corner from a Taco Bell and now Dick wants him to get food for everyone since he's already there.
He's driving home from a meeting and Steph calls him because her and Duke were shopping in the area and wants to know if he can pick them up, when he asks how she knew he was on the same street, he gets a "Oh I just like to stalk everyone on the app for funsies." as an answer.
Jason calls him and he can barely get out a hello before Jason cuts him off, "Bruce why the fuck is your phone battery on 5%, charge your damn phone" which completely stuns him because why does he know that. He clears his throat before answering. "Jason, what?"
"Everyone can see each others phone batteries on '360, now charge your phone." Is all he gets before Jason hangs up on him.

Bruce is constantly asking the kids what they like to eat so he can freeze dry their favorites into oblivion as apocalypse rations

Love the slight AUs where Bruce as Batman has been a member of the league for ages, but he's somehow managed to keep his assortment of children under the radar.
Because it sets up the wildest misunderstandings within the league. He routinely talks about his babies, his children who are all so sweet and kind and occasionally assholes yes but only because they are young (and traumatized) hell I don't think the league would even be aware that they're adopted. So they're all thinking literal children
Barry: Bats really loves his kids.
Hal: I mean they're babies, wait till they hit the angsty teens and I'm sure we'll be hearing the opposite
Which means the day they finally meet Nightwing they don't know wtf to think. For one thing, how old would he have been when he had this kid???? Should they be worried about that???? And for the other, that is not a baby, that is not a precious little thing.
He could break someone in half. Like a twig.
He won't, but he could. And they can see that. (He's bat trained, they have seen what the bat can do they are not fools)
And they're like, okay. Okay maybe he isn't the baby (he is). He's got younger kids right? He's never said how many, they have 0 clues. They've been expecting 1 child, maybe 2 because he'd said kid in the plural exactly once when comforting an older woman while they were searching for her children in the aftermath of a rough battle.
And then a week later they run into Red Hood. In his leather, with his guns. And he drapes himself across Batmans back with all the self confidence in the world and starts whining about the "Brat" breaking into his safe house.
To steal his dog.
And yet again. He is not baby. He is bigger than Batman. He could probably break Batman in half given the bat didn't put up a fight. But Batman looks at him with probably the softest expression they've ever seen on that mans face and tells him very earnestly that the kid just wants to spend time with his older brother, next time they should try a walk. Maybe go to the zoo.
But probably not one of the babies. They're kind, and gentle, and at least one just loves reading and Bats has been trying to encourage that!!!
And then a day later he mentions his "babies" going for a walk in the park and they all instantaneously lose their minds at the confirmation.

Can we just talk about how the Wayne family would have sh!t tons of conspiracy theories about them ?
Like let’s be real, do you really think gothamites would let slide facts like Jason coming back from the dead, Bruce’s absence, Martha and Thomas Wayne unsolved and mystery case, Wayne Manor being like haunted according to some people who’ve been invited for some gala or charity, ALFRED PENNYWORTH, why does the Kane family seem to hate the Wayne family so much.....
If I was a gothamite, I would eat. them. up.
I mean even some people outside of Gotham would be so invested in these stories/conspiracies. Like I know for SURE that Martha and Thomas Wayne case would be one of the most popular murder case in the world.

Headcanon that when Jason so much as says “ow..” on the comms the rest of the batfam immediately assume he must be dying.

sick Bruce wayne ??
A/N: It's been a hot minute since I wrote for Bruceee 😁 enjoy!!
Pairing: Battinson x reader (The Batman 2022)
Warnings: Sick fluff and stuff 🖤
Tumblr media
First of all, Bruce probably won't even acknowledge that he's feeling slightly under the weather until you notice how he's a little drowsier than usual, his dark eyes glazed with weariness and his forehead a little too hot when you touch it
He doesn't think much of it, insisting that he's and it'll pass, but after a night of The Batman fighting crime and coming back early because of his pounding headache and weak limbs, you and Alfred convince force him to stay in bed for a while
You'd think that he'd be really whiny while he's ill and all, but all I can see Bruce being is clingier than usual, not wanting to worry you too much with the dull pains he's feeling and instead holding onto your hand while you read to him or bring him food and drink from Alfred
He feels like a complete failure when he doesn't manage to be Vengeance for a night or two because he's not well enough yet, but with some gentle reassurance from you and the promise that he'll be twice as strong when he's back out because he'll have regained his strength, Bruce stops pouting so much lol
Your voice is the perfect comfort and background noise to get him to fall asleep, your fingers in his dark locks, smoothing it out on your lap and playing with the ends
When you try to hug him, he's worried that you'll get ill too, but can't resist you rolling your eyes and engulfing him in a warm embrace anyway
Overall, he feels a little useless and lazy being stuck in bed for a few days, but your company is all Bruce really wants for those days, before he's back to his normal self, bruising himself up and protecting the city and you proudly 🖤

what are ur fave nashton headcanons!!!!!
Okay so anytime I get to talk about my Skrunkly Beloved is a good time!
He’s got a beat up white DSI that he saved up money for while working as a delivery boy that’s been riding around in his backpack for years. The thing basically looks like it’s been through a war zone but Eddie is Mr.RightToRepair so he keeps it running.
Games on that DSI: Brain-age, Crossword Puzzles, 100 classic books, Mario 64 and Animal Crossing: Wild World
I honestly think that if he was given the chance he would have shined being a theater kid in high school. Not as an actor or anything (lowkey hella stage fright for him) but as a techie. He’s doing lighting, he’s doing sound, he’s the scariest and best stage manager you could ever have. Goes a little mad with power, but hey all the best stage managers do at one point or another.
Is the type of sad, lonely dork to fall head over heels for any person who is vaguely nice to him. Barista remembers his name and his order? He’s planning their wedding and what they’ll be naming their 2.5 kids and dog. It’s not a long lasting dopamine high but he can at least ride it for a little while
Speaking of high: This dude is a stoner for sure! Uses it to make himself feel better and to get more creative ideas.

why do i imagine the batfam finally meeting the league and then one of them going 'how the fuck do you have so many kids?' and little shit Jason goes 'well, when two people love each other very much...' and because Bruce doesn't wanna listen to this, he tiredly reminds Jason: 'you're adopted' which naturally means that Jason is going to dramatically pretend that this is the first time he's heard that and how could Bruce keep this from him, much to the horror of the league and the exasperation of Bruce
