The Inheriting Games (What Do The Batfamily Inherit)

The inheriting games (What do the batfamily inherit)

Duke:-

-*Now, who gets Wayne Enterprises? Well the most common (and boring) answer is Tim, which? I understand, it even said in a comic book that his name is on the paper, but if Tim wants to run a company, he can take Drake enterprises!

-*And Duke is so smart! He was solving Riddlers riddles in 7th GRADE! And, he just feels like the type of guy to be able to run a business nicely! He’d be able to separate enough funds for the Justice League easily!

-*At first, the idea of running a company (With Luscious Fox obviously) is daunting, but after a few months, Duke realises how much he loves it. The routine, the ability to help people even without the mask on? It was exhilarating.

Jason:-

-*Jason inherits the Mansion.

-*I hear you! Why in the world would JASON inherit the mansion? Well, Jason was raised in the streets. He knows best what it’s like not to have a proper place to sleep. I feel like, Jason would make the mansion a place for wandering heroes/people to stop by.

-*Like all his friends would come over sometimes, or any hero who needs a break/place to rest. Or it’s just a place for family to hang out. If the family instead hangs out at the Penthouse, then it can also be a place where people who don’t have a place to stay/who need some energy can stay. It’s still there home though. It holds too many memories.

Cassandra:-

-*Obviously shes Batman. Must I even explain?

-*She inherits the BatCave and everything, and it means the world to her that Bruce trusted her with so much.

-*Cass is the one who could have become the evilest, and most dangerous villain of them all, but instead chose to be a hero. One with the most firm no kill rule. The one, who in Bruce’s eyes, could become an even better Batman than himself.

Tim:-

-*So, Tim doesn’t inherit the Business. Dang. Y’know what he does inherit? Bruce’s CAR collection.

-*If you want to tell me Brucie Wayne, one of the richest and dramatic people alive, who built the most iconic car ever, DOESNT have the most EXTRAORDINARY AND EXPENSIVE Car collection known to mankind, argue with the WALL.

-*I don’t know how to explain it, it fits Tim so WELL. He’d love the car collection, he’d pull up to his siblings and friends house everyday in a new car, and it annoys his friends and family SO MUCH. Classic Nepo-Baby behaviour tbh.

-*I feel like Bruce giving him the car collection, instead of anything serious is a sign. Tim was slowly BECOMING more like Batman (whereas Damian was the one who came defaultly as Batman, and his arc was to find his own person), and since at times Bruce didn’t let Tim have fun, it’s a sign from him now to let his teenage, rebellious side kick in. Have some fun.

Dick:-

-*Dick, our favourite Diva, what does he inherit? He inherits all of Bruce’s Jewellery/accessories!

-*Dick, Bruce’s first ward, the one with the most similar past, who became the hope the people needed instead of the fear.

-*Also, Dicks extra and fashion loving self would LOVE the accessories. More ways to somehow make the most fashionable stuff look terrible on anyone else but me!

-*The jewellery and accessories would be a very layered way of Bruce telling Dick to sometimes take some nights off. It’s okay to be human, and do normal things, like taking too much time choosing which watch matches his outfit, or what belt to match with his shoes.

Damian:-

-*ooh~ What does Damian inherit? Damian, the one who used to, in a faraway past, boast about the fact that he was the blood-son to hide his insecurities of never fitting in, or disappointing his father in some way? He’d inherit the albums, and the family heirlooms. Special objects that held not much value financially, but so much sentimental value.

-*The albums with photos of when Bruce was a baby, to pictures when Damian finally outgrew Duke and Tim. The pearl necklace that Martha wore, and the watch that Jason fixed.

-*Damian wouldn’t need money, I feel like he’d either get a very well paying job, or steal money from the league of assassins (‘It’s not stealing Drake, it’s MY inheritance anyways, so stop sticking your nose in other families business-‘)

-*He’d treasure the stuff so much 😭 He’d keep looking at photos of Bruce when he dies :)))

!!!EXTRA!!!

Stephanie:-

-*Yes, Stephanie gets something. Because while Bruce might not be her father, she’s still part of the family. Somehow.

-*She gets all the….BATMOBILES

-*Yup, you heard me. Cass is Batman, Tim has the cars, but somehow it’s STEPHANIE who ends up with the BatMobile.

-*So, mostly the reason was because of how funny it would be, but it’s also how much Stephanie would LOVE it. And of coarse it’s a layered message here as well.

-*Bruce seemed to have trusted Stephanie the least. He was the worst to her as Robin, and she ended up dead, and after THAT, they’re relationship was far from ‘good’

-*Now, because of the strained relationship, Bruce would NEVER let Steph ride the Batmobile, right? He doesn’t trust her, and, I mean, he doesn’t let DAMIAN ride it with consent- But him giving her the Batmobile is basically him saying ‘I was wrong to not trust you’, and it’s a sort of apology if you will.

-*(Tims ecstatic when he finds out he gets all the cars, but when he finds out Steph got the BATMOBILE?

‘SHE GETS THE BATMOBILE?’ ‘IM ON THE WILL?!’)

Barbara:-

-*Barbara gets all the contingency plans for the Justice league. Cass didn’t. This was Bruce’s way of telling babs how much he trusts her, and how mature she really is now.

-*He didn’t give Cass the contingency plans, not because he doesn’t trust her, but because…He thinks Babs would appreciate it more.

I know what ur thinking; Cass is Batman, Steph has the Batmobile, and Barbara gets the contingency plans? How does that work? Well, it’s basically Bruce encouraging Cass to let people help her, something he struggled with, and one of his biggest flaws.

Selina:-

-*if for some reason (They’re idiots I SWEAR TO GOD), they still weren’t married after he died, she gets the most beautiful diamond, pearl ring known to MANKIND, and a very heartfelt note.

-*If they were engaged/Married, Selina gets all the safe houses that Bruce owns around the world. He would want Selina to travel, and move on.

Commissioner Gordon:-

-*Commisioner gets to know Batmans identity (what it was before), and even if he already knew it, it’s the thought that counts.

-*He also gets a gun…wrapped in a sheet, with a note stuck on it. It had nothing to do with how Joker died, found in an alleyway, shot in the gut. At least, that’s what Barbara claims.

Bruce’s Money in his Bank account:-

-*His kids don’t need the money so.

-*20% goes to Clark (he begrudgingly accepts it, remembering the time Bruce gave him cash on his bday. Bruce always had strange ways of showing love.)

-*Another 20% goes to Dick, another 20% to the Justice League, and the remaining 40% to charity.

??? So what ur implying is that only the blood related people are batfamily? 😭 I love Damian, but the whole point of the Batfam was ‘found family with issues’, and just turning it into ‘Talia, Bruce and Damian’ is pretty boring and defeats the whole purpose of Batman having a family.

The family of Damian, Dick, Jason, Tim, Bruce, Cass, Duke, Stephanie and Barbara is complicated because not all of them see each other as family

(Steph and Barbara don’t see Bruce as a father figure, but Steph sees Damian, Tim, Jason, Cass and etc as her siblings. Dick and Damian have a semi-Father/son relationship which they refuse to acknowledge because Dick isn’t ready for that responsibility. Damian and Tim get into horrible fights with each other constantly, but Tim still refers to Damian as ‘his little brother’ and while Jason and Dick see each other as siblings, Jason and Damian DESPISE each other. Jason has tried to kill Tim before, but Tim and Jason are on good terms now. Barbara is Dicks ex/girlfriends, but has sister/mentor relationship with his sister Cass. Duke gets along best with Jason and is one of the few people Damian openly likes. Helena (Huntress) is Bruce and Selina’s daughter in another universe. Selina and Bruce have a cat and mouse situation going on, which never seems to end.)

Their family is messy and complicated and not everyone likes each other, but they’re family non-the less.

Turning that into ‘Talia, Bruce and Damian’ only is so stupid and boring, and removing amazing dynamics that the family include.

It’s fine if you ship ‘Bru-Talia’ but you don’t actually have to remove every single one of Bruce’s adopted kids, and said kids ex’s/bestfriend who are basically part of the family now. It makes BruTalia boring and makes everything else boring. It’s just an average-normal family then, which nobody really wants to read about.

(By the i mean people would rather read about they’re messy and, personally, more interesting dynamics)

(I don’t mean Gotham War tho)

(That’s just stupid)

Anyway, sorry for the ranting lmao, I just really got invested in writing this :D

Batfamily

NO

BATFAMILY

I just came up with the most hilarious and amazing head cannon for when Damian and Tim patrol together.

(This is after they start not-despising each other btw)

If you have siblings, I’m sure we all know the feeling of when we just barely touch our sibling, and suddenly they start crying because ‘THEY HIT ME!!’

I want you to imagine that, except the injuries are actually serious, for Tim and Damian.

Here are a few skits :D :-

:-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-:

Dick:-

Dick:-

Dick:- So you pushed Tim off the roof because, you told him to ‘Shut up and die’ and he responded with ‘get a life’?

Damian:- IT WASNT EVEN MY FAULT I JUST LIGHTLY SHOVED HIM AND HE SOMEHOW FELL, ITS HIS FAULT-

Tim:- YOU KICKED ME AND THEN PUSHED ME OFF THE ROOF TELLING ME ‘FALL YOU MOUTH BREATHER’!

Damian:- OH MY GOD HES OVERREACTING-

Tim:- I HAVE A BROKEN LEG WDYM I’M OVER REACTING?

:-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-:

Tim:- …

Barbara:-

Barbara:- I want you to run this over with me, one more time. How the hell did you stab Damian?

Tim:- I DIDNT STAB HIM OK?

Barbara:-

Tim:- Look, we were in a middle of a fight with Black Masks goons-

Barbara:- OH! So the opposing team stabbed him?

Tim:-

Tim:- Well, not really-

Barbara:-

Tim:- ….So during the fight, me and Damian were having a discussion about Harry Potter-

Barbara:- Excuse me??? Harry Potter???

Tim:- JUST LISTEN OKAY- So I said I shipped Drarry, and then Damian said “Your disgusting and should go to hell”

Barbara:-

Tim:-

Barbara:- First of all, DRARRY TIM!?

Tim:- DONT TELL ME YOU DON’T-

Barbara:- SECOND IF ALL, THAT IS NOT A VALID REASON TO STAB SOMEONE?

Tim:- I JUST HALF HEARTEDLY THREW THE KNIFE AT HIM ITS NOT MY FAULT IT ACTUALLY HIT HIM???

Barbara:- HOLY GOTHAM I SWEAR TO GOD-

:-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-:

Damian:-

Tim:-

Bruce:-

Tim:- Bruce it’s not as bad as it looks-

Bruce:- Damian is shot and you are bleeding from a stab wound, and your cameras show me that you were the ones who did this to each other, please do explain?!

Damian:-

Damian:- It was Drakes fault-

Tim:- NO IT WAS NOT-

Damian:- He said that I was dumb-

Bruce:- So you STABBED HIM?

Tim:- HAH! YEAH DAMIAN-

Damian:- I JUST POKED HIM ITS NOT MH FAULT HE HAS SUCH WEAK SKIN-

Bruce:- I- We’ll deal with that later, Tim why in the world did you SHOOT HIM?

Tim:- LOOK, THE GUN WAS VERY CLOSE TO ME AND IMPULSE TOOK CONTROL-

Damian:- Father it wasn’t even MY FAULT, DRAKE WAS THE ONE WHO STARTED IT-

Tim:- AND THEN I SUDDENLY SAW-

Damian:- AND DRAKE SAID-

Bruce:- *Noise of regret*

Realising, that after Damian went to hell, ‘Go to hell!’ Or any insult similar to this becomes a WHOLE lot more personal- Like you know you done f*cked up if he says that to you :o
