Could you tell us more about your version of batman? Maybe the batfam too? Boop!

I can try! To be honest I don't have a ton to say, im not the most knowledgeable when it comes to the Lore(tm) and I'm mostly making stuff up with each drawing I do, whatever makes the initial concept or joke work.

So what I have is this:

He's not physically powerful but he has a lot of speed, flexibility and endurance and mostly focuses on avoiding fights and being a good detective, and when a fight is unavoidable he leans a lot on technology and being a pragmatic fighter so he can take people down quick with minimal risk. I don't know much about martial arts but his fighting style is probably similar to Akido?

The Joker is less of a huge villain, I have nothing against the character I just feel like he gets leaned on too much in batman stories, like an overexposure thing. He was a gangster with a gimmick who become a problem every once in a while but he was never Batman's arch nemesis. (That would be two-face, they got the most personal history). After the Jason Todd of it all Bruce stuck him down a stinky hole and no one liked him enough to help him get out.

There's not actually a huge age gap between Bruce and Dick, only about ten years, and the father/son relationship is getting slightly more awkward as time goes on. Like it's one thing for a 22 year old telling a twelve year old what to do, pretty different when it's a 35 year old trying to lecture a 25 year old. Dick respects Bruce immensely but he's getting frustrated with Bruce not seeing them as peers yet, and it's part of why Dick has physically distanced himself. (Some familial relationships improve so much when you live in different cities)

He's in an on-and-off again relationship with Selina, who has her own apartment but splits her time between it and the Wayne manor when they're on, and sometimes even off (Alfred usually let's her in regardless, when she feels like using the front door). They're just two very independent people who do love each other but every so often need their space and don't know how to communicate that constructively.

What else what else... Babs is Oracle but her spine was injured in a different way, probably while kicking ass and saving lives.

Bruce is better friends with Diana than he is Clark because Clark has a little bit of a country chip on his shoulder when it comes to wealthy property owners and Bruce isn't jazzed about the press. Its getting better with time though!

Bruce is very good at masking (I mean, clearly, he has to fool everyone with Brucie after all) but his relaxed affect is very blunt and not outwardly emotional. This does not mean he's always brooding or overly serious, he just has resting bitch face and his sense of humor is very dry. His family can read him pretty well but most other people just assume he's perpetually pissed.

Uuuuh thats all I can think of off the top of my head, hope you like it!

something I really dont get, when a chracter whose gender identity is a lil ambiguous gets headcanoned as a trans man or nonbinary or even gnc by some people, and then a bunch of other people get all up in arms about how theyre trying to erase a strong female character and “just let them be a woman you misogynist” and shit like that and Im like.

Why do they specifically have to be a cis woman for their story to resonate with you?

now im not transmasculine but I know a lot of transmasculine people have experienced a lot of the same shit a lot of women have to deal with, because the overarching powers of the world we live in dont want to recognize them as anything other than women as well. Transmasc people do have to deal with mysogyny, with pressure to just be feminine in a “normal” way, with threats against their ability to control their own reproduction, with people trying to squash them into a restrictive little box and control every aspect of their lives, with threats of violence if they deviate.

I dont want to insinuate its all exactly the same, transmasculine people obviously have their own specific contexts for it, but like, it fucking resonantes, doesn’t it? Do you really see nothing to relate to? Does all of that extremely recognizeable bullshit just… not count anymore when it’s happening to a dude? We dont have a monopoly on this, it happens to trans guys all the time. Hell it happens to a lot of cis dudes! And transfeminine people! Most people actually! so many fuckin’ people are effected by sexist heteronormative fuckery, and I think its kinda messed up that the only time you can empathize with it in another person is when they look and act exactly like you.

I have headcanon that Selina Kyle would adopt all the cats she could after getting together and moving in with Bruce... what do you think?

Avatar

I think that's just canon!

Most depictions of catwoman I've seen, when we get to go back to her apartment or wherever she's living, usually show her with a truly absurd amount of cats milling about. (I love her so much, I do, but as someone who has lived with multiple cats before, her apartment must be raaaaaank)

At least they'll have much more space in the mansion, and the litter boxes can be kept more out of the way from the living areas. I just hope no one in the extended batfam is allergic

Isn't it like, a thing that Bruce is scared of bats? Like he got scared by bats and became the thing he's scared of?

Avatar

I think there are a few versions? In some he's very scared of bats, in others he just thinks they're generally spooky and a good way to intimidate people, etc. Im not an expert on Batman lore I'm afraid :u

I adore your designs for dc characters, especially the batfam. They're a perfect mix of recognizable and original, I love the spin you give them - and I'm so happy to see I'm not the only one who believes in biker helmet Jason supremacy. Oh and is Catwoman a furry artist??? If so I am thriving, I adore that comic so so much, especially the amount of work you had to put in the comic AND the furry design turnaround

thank you so much! I love character design and I'm always trying to get better at it, so I'm glad you like my designs! I put a lot of thought into them, and there's still a bit of room for improvement I think (especially with the costume design, which is not my strong suit) but I'm overall satisfied with how they came out.

As for whether Selina drew them herself, the honest answer is I dunno! I went back and forth on whether she was gonna say she commissioned them or drew them herself, and I couldn't come down on one side or the other, so I left it a bit vague.

Thank you again for your kind words!

hi!!! i just wanted to tell you i LOVE your dc character designs SO much. they're so unique and it's obvious you put a lot of thought behind each and every one. i just love them and have been looking at them over and over and zooming in on them to look at all the details. they're just.... SO good 🥰

Marcille and Falin, a few decades down the road.

extras:

I love this deeply, but wouldn't the dragon part have some influence on her life span??

Theorize away, but since it's never confirmed in canon, any theory about what effect the dragon soul has on Falin other than the feathers is pure headcanon, and for the purposes of this drawing she is aging at a human rate.

Im sorry, this isn't aimed at you, you're just unfortunately the latest in a large string of similar comments about how Falin should actually have a super long lifespan. And I get why, I do, someone's lover dying a long time before the other is sad to think about, and we want Falin and Marcille to have a long and happy life together.

But when the entire theme of this drawing, the driving force behind me making it, was about facing aging and death with dignity and love, and Marcille handling it better than her mother did because of her experiences in the dungeon, and how beautiful an old Falin is after everything she went through...

Well im a little touchy at this point at all the comments implying Falin living an extended lifespan is the superior way for the story to go!

Again, im sorry, it isn't you it's just, bluh

Falin and Marcille do have a long happy life together in this drawing, it's just by human standards, which isn't a bad thing, and Marcille will be okay.

Despite what you may have heard Bruce Wayne is not, in fact, a furry.

He is, however, very opinionated.

do you have a better image of the fursonas?

Im afraid the mount of detail i put into the original is the only amount of detail there is, i knew they weren’t gonna be large in the image so i only did enough to make them readable from a distance. Mi dispiace
