saw north posting about batman: creature of the night, found out it takes place in boston, and was promptly blindsided by the hilarity of an au where batman takes place in boston (which creature of the night isn't, exactly, so i need to imagine)

  • the waynes' murder is referred to as the shot heard 'round the world
  • the coolidge corner theater is hands down the best wayne murder location bc coolidge corner is a very nice neighborhood much like park row was before it became crime alley. this is funny bc i lived there
  • the accents. not just the goons or matches malone (who is of course a southie boy) but the rich people. boston brahmin oswald cobblepot HELLO
  • boston-themed rogues such as the green monster and the spirit of '76 who is of course a revolutionary war-themed supervillain
  • this is the only time fanon tim drake's coffee addiction is funny because the coffee he's addicted to is dunkin
  • the jokah

here i have more

  • just like halloween is the worst night of the year in gotham for the bats, saint patrick's day is the worst night of the year in batston
  • molasses-themed villain in the north end. maybe a witch trial-themed villain too why not salem's on a commuter rail line out of north station it's fine
  • the city is overrun with supervillains due to the sheer concentration of institutions of higher learning
  • the isabella stewart gardner museum is guarded by a state of the art waynetech security system because the clout-chasing rogues LOVE trying to rob it again
  • mr. freeze is a menace to commuters everywhere

do you see?? do you see my vision?????

idk how many of my followers used to follow hallie before she deleted but she's spoken to me from the afterlife and is very excited to hear about boston batman getting featured on the MA gimmick blog

hm hot take time. i obviously like dick to be written as competent and an amazing fighter and capable of doing So Much because he is, but there is also something i find compelling about his sort of niche power/gift being his leadership and how everyone trusts him. like yeah he shouldn’t look like he CAN’T fight his own battles but it can be fun when he’s put in a difficult situation and his solution is “i know a guy for that.” because he Does know a guy for everything. he has like tens of people with supernatural abilities who will come help him at the drop of a hat because he is deeply loved and respected and trusted by the whole community. and that makes a fun contrast to batman who always has a plan but it’s always about what he can do alone.

Batman has to do some sort of glad-handing event for the JL and they organizers brought in those people who bring animals from the zoo and ‘Oh Batman, if you would be so kinda as to hold this Flying Fox bat for us so we can take a promo picture, the children would love it!’

Batman stands there sweating bullets while the kiddos ooo and aahhhh

I found some time. Batman for the photos looking all types of cool, calm, and collected…

Batman after he gets home from leaving as soon as they took the bat back…

But what if they also gave him…

A bumblebee bat

I got you fam. Batman thinking about how Alfred told him to keep a stiff upper lip…

And of course, the aftermath

dick’s voice is sooo sexy in gotham knights ok that is all

Ok second comment on gotham knights now that im back to it, every fucking cutscene is just them grabbing things from each other. and shoving things back at each other. no cutscenes without at least one book or ipad being shoved around between four people.

also sorry ill shut up about this in a minute but — writing from jason’s perspective about dick (in post-crisis canon) is fun because like…….. dick is a very very intimidating person. often not outwardly! he’s generally pretty easy going, he’s very good at talking to people, putting people at ease, etc

but if we’re talking soft + hard power, dick outstrips jason in about every metric like 10-1. in non violent interactions with dick, jason has everything to lose — he might have to put himself at dick’s mercy to get what he wants. it’s not like an oft discussed point in canon but think about the fire power jason has in gotham vs what dick is packing (haha). literally coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb. one guys desert eagle vs the full concentrated power of the sun

once jason would have been able to rely on dick’s loyalty no matter what, the same way that tim and babs and damian and cass and steph and the titans do. but now he’s lost that privilege. he’s on the other side of the fence, second guessing everything dick does as an act to put him at easy before striking. is dick being genuinely friendly or playing 5D chess? probably both if we’re being honest
