Baby Birds and Bat Caves

By IzzyMRDB

Complete

Summary:

Gotham was built on a cave system. Batman has referenced a Bat Cave before. Tim is currently in the cave system. He is in the cave system that he entered from Drake Manor. Drake Manor is right next door to where Batman- The Bruce Wayne- lives. Holy Cavern, Batman! Tim had just accidentally wandered into the Bat Cave’s cave system. OR Tim, having found a weird hole after a storm, decides to go exploring ignoring the fact that This Is Gotham and They Probably Have Cursed Stuff Down There. Luckily, it was just a cave system that spans the entire Gotham underground. Unluckily, Tim is a very curious child.

tfw u're on the verge of tears bc too many people are talking at once

sketchdump (again, mostly tim, bc even when i dont set out to draw him, i end up drawing him anyway):

dick & tim from gotham knights issues #8-10 have my whole heart

my friend got me a new pen:

and i've been reading a lot of upswings and havendance's fics where tim keeps showing up at people's apartments, as is his due (let him in!!)

tim using his cape as an emergency blanket!!

this stupid image has been haunting me for months:

if it wasn't clear from honeypot and the red dress comic, i like a very specific aesthetic

i wanted a red hood charm too:

(chibi catwoman tim from a old, larger spread "the latex spread" that i absolutely cannot post the full version of o7)

some really ancient doodles (proof that long hair tim has been important to me since the beginning):

roughs of my red dress comic:

#sart #dc #tim drake #dick grayson #bruce wayne #helena bertinelli #jason todd #(sorry i need those character tags for organizational purposes)#see a smart person would keep these for when theyre inevitably too busy and tired to draw but i dont have that kind of self-restraint

Jason: Ew, this tastes gross *turning to Dick next to him and holding it out to him* try it

Dick: What? No way, you just said it tastes gross, why would I try it?

Jason: fine *turns to Tim on the other side of him, holding it out* try this

Tim: *takes a bite* Yeah, disgusting

Damian: Oh please, Drake's a baby, let me try it

Tim: *passes it to Damian*

Damian: *Tries it* Eww, yeah, no, this is gross

Steph: *Takes it from Damian, trying it* makes me want to vomit, try it Cass

Cass: *Takes a bite* yeah no, please never get this again, you want some Duke?

Duke: Why not *takes a bite* Meh, it's not horrible, it's just not good

Dick: Well now I feel left out

Duke: *hands it to Dick*

Dick: *takes a bite*

Dick:

Bruce, in the background: *slaps his forehead* why are they like this

Jason: You wanna try Bruce?

Bruce, dad who feels bad when he says no to his kids: *pained smile* *through clenched teeth* Suuuure...

Dick: *hands it to Bruce*

Bruce: *takes a bite, spits it out into his napkin* Awful, truly atrocious, I'm going to sue, that was so awful

#they are all smart #but when put together they can be dumbasses #they go from like that big brain meme individually to like 2 braincells collectively when put together #im basing this on me with my own siblings #so i know this is just how siblings are #one is like this tastes bad then hands it to another person to try and that just continues til we all have tried it and agreed #but they are also biased cause they all have alfreds cooking regularly so they try something else and are like wtf #alfred spoils them rotten when it comes to good food #batfam #batkids #bat family #jason todd #dick grayson #tim drake #damian wayne #stephanie brown #cassandra cain #duke thomas #bruce wayne #incorrect batfamily quotes #it was gonna stop at bruce being like 'why are they like this' but then i was like... wait a minute #bruce is definitely the dad who cant say no to his kids #and the second part was born

tim drake would rather die than kill innocent people and tim drake killed hundreds of supervillain henchpeople with long-range detonation explosives that one time are two separate headcanons that, contrary to what the fandom discourse would have you believe, can actually coexist at the same time.

there’s even a psychologist term for it.

it’s called compartmentalization!

#let’s be honest #the entire batfamliy “stuffers” from this #and while that’s not something generally talked about #I just find the concept so interesting #how they all justify their actions — both socially moral and socially in-moral — to themselves #particularly how they all justify their actions to themselves in different ways #and for more evidence about their compartmentalization: there’s obviously the fact that they all have superhero and civilian identities too #also #this might need to be a separate post #but #the fandom’s perception of each member of the batfamily as individuals #often read more like they have bought into the characters’s “masks” they wear due to trauma #the “masks” being how the batfam are completely willing to be only perceived as one-thing #because that’s easier than being a real human #with blood and pain and fears and failures #they’d much rather be #the nice one #or the funny one #or the smart one #(etc. etc.)#dc #dc comics #dc characters #batman comics #batfam #the batfamily #tim drake #robin #robin dc #red robin

The press was going wild. Headlines like, "A bat unmasked?" and "Bat kid gone wild!" which Danny thought was uncalled for. He didn't even do anything that bad. All he did was rescue those kids and preformed a perfect flying kick to the mans jaw! He didn't even knock out a tooth!

Oh. And he wasn't even one of the bats.

Danny had only been in this dimension for a day and had no idea what was going on. He didn't actually have plans to stay in this world long so when he saw a guy around his own age being held hostage by guys in ski masks he just acted. He just flew invisibly to the hostage and took them.

By the time the captors realized thier hostage was missing they were long gone.

Turns out the guys name was Tim and he was rich, which honestly explains the kidnapping. Tim had a lot of questions and Danny just wanted to know where to drop Tim off at.

Later that night he gets to meet the bat himself and of course he trolls Batman and makes the man chase after him around the city. This turns out to be a big mistake. As Phantom Danny wouldn't dare use any of the fighting techniques his mother had thought him. His mother had trained in a very exclusive dojo by a legendary master who only ever took 7 pupils in his lifetime and his mom taught this stuff to Danny up until the accident. So if Phantom used these techniques his mom would know immediately that it was him.

But here no one knows who he is.

No one knows about him or Phantom.

And he doesn't plan to stay...so why not go ham? Thus Danny play fighting the bat across streets and rooftops, through bars and crowded shopping districts all while giving witty banter.

It probably didn't help that he was a very Robin shaped boy...so naturally all those photos of him and the dark knight wound up in the papers. Danny thought it was hilarious until he had his fill of chaos and tried to leave...only to realize he couldn't.

He was trapped in this dimension with the mess he made. Uh oh.

#dpxdc #fanfiction prompts #prompts #danny phantom #danny fenton #batman #tim drake #red robin #chaos #danny is actually really smart and skilled #danny keeps doing ninja looking stuff and gothamites are like: yep thats a bat #not pleased on how this turned out

Dpxdc Au - Tim and Danny are Twins, have been through all the introductions and after a few years decide to have The Audacity.

At some point it hits the two of them, that they really do act alike sometimes. Like, mannerisms and small detail micro expressions, the whole nine, so Danny and Tim decide to take advantage of this.

Parent trap style swapping but all within the same household, they cut their hair and swap clothes, and get in a few practice runs around the halls of Wayne Manor. No one in the family catches them through at least 3 family dinners, so they go for the larger gambit.

Tim wants to go to high school for a bit and get back into skate boarding with low stakes- Thats what he tells Danny at least, he really wants to spend the time dismantling the GIW from the epicenter in Amity Park. It works out that Tim accomplishes this in record time (explosives didn’t require ethics in his opinion) and does actually get to enjoy his hobbies again for a bit.

Danny wants to tell off the WE board members and get some proper Red Robin training so he’s not so dependent on his powers when facing human enemies (they were squishier than ghosts, restraint was key)- That’s what he tells Tim when the reality is he’s going to lead a hostile takeover of DalvCo. and well, yeah, actually get some training in.

No one catches on except for Kon.

After they’ve swapped back and their missions are debriefed, Tim asks him why he never fell for it? Simply put: “Uh, dude. Your twin doesn’t have a heartbeat half the time, it was pretty easy to tell.”

#dc x dp crossover #dc crossover #dp crossover #dpxdc #dcxdp #danny phantom #tim and danny are twins au #this obviously only happens after a butt load of therapy by which danny admits that hes actually super smart #tim is like great dude let me help you out by taking down a government branch #what like its hard?#and danny is like great dude let me get you some assets from our enemies #as a treat for later #Tim and danny are incredibly similar but the purposefully lean into those differences on most days #the drakes gift danny to another rich couple who gift him away so many times until he is given to aunt alicia and is raised with the fentons #tim and danny looked at one another after meeting for the first time and were just mutually like 'meh might as well have a twin'#kon is 'good friends' with tim lmao #can be tim/kon if you want it to be that way

I think a really fun idea to explore with Tim would be the idea of him having Hyperthymesia.

Hyperthymesia is an ability that allows people to recall almost every event of their life in great detail. It's extremely rare and honestly doesn't have that much research done on it, but recent studies have suggested that people with this ability are limited to autobiographical memories, people with HSAM sometime tend to show symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and may demonstrate obsessive tendencies.

I think it would be an interesting way to explain why Tim was able to recall his first meeting with Dick Grayson and connect the dots to seeing Robin. Tim does display a lot of obsessive behaviours, and while he doesn't really physically display compulsion (like someone with OCD would typically display) there certainly is a strong case to be made for him potentially having it.

But also, can you imagine how fucking horrible it would be for Tim to remember each and every traumatic thing that ever happens to him as a hero and those memories just never fading. Yes, it would make him a better detective and allow him to be arguably smarter than your average joe, but at what cost?

#tim drake #batman and robin #red robin #red robin comics #dc comics #dcu #dc universe #i just think it would be a really cool concept to explore #like finally giving an explanation on why a 9 year old was able to connect these dots when kids are naturally forgetful #tim being faced with the horrible fate of never being able to forget anything ever #like yeah he remembers the good things and remembers little details that he doesn't have to double check #but also...he remembers everything else #i would like to note though that this is a really REALLY rare ability #like as of last year there were like 62 peopel documented to have it rare #i do wanna note tho #that hsam doesn't affect your intelligence #so tim being super smart is just a tim thing #little weirdo

These three panels are quintessential Tim Drake Robin. Tim is quite capable of tossing this mad scientist around like a hackysac toy but it's not his first response. It's the fact that he gets the antidote through mind games alone (no threats of violence) that makes this work.

Rogue: We have Nightwing tied up, unconscious and drugged in the basement. You think about touching us and he’s done.

Tim: So you have Batman’s child, Superman’s nephew, the big brother to a whole slew of bats, brother to the original Teen Titans and the second batch of them, best friends with whatever we’re calling the red head Flash to distinguish him from the other Flash, mentor to Young Justice and a favorite of the Justice League? Did you think this through at all? I’m positive that there is a fleet of Kryptonians coming here now, so uh surrender him I guess if you like your bones in one piece?

#Tim Drake #dick grayson #Red Robin #Nightwing #I mean honestly is it a smart idea to kidnap anyone League adjacent? no #no #but I feel Dick has everyone on speed dial

idk but tim's skills both in comics and in fanon are so inconsistent. like wdym he can fight azrael and ra's and lady shiva and he loses fights to... damian? like ok damian is a good fighter, trained by assassins and whatnot but it makes no sense, bc he wouldn't win against shiva

or like tim barely being able to hold out against jason both times he attacks him seriously (battle for the cowl and titan's tower).... but winning against all sort of weird ass shit in young justice?

im not even talking about how his intellect is all over the place, one day he is lying to batman and fooling doomsday and the other he is truly getting trapped/fooled by shitty ass villains like Calendar Man

#his skills are all over the place i never know if he is a good fighter or just mediocre #i never know if he is a good fighter or not #i could do a whole chart being like damian cannot beat cass who struggles to beat her mother who tim beat but that would be long #or like #is he smart?#sometimes the others are Just Dumb which is a writing mistake in my opinion #which is why i tend to think about tim as like a spencer reid kind of person #surrounded by smart people but being truly That Smart #tim drake as spencer reid #tim drake #batman #red robin #dc #young justice #tim drake wayne #batfamily #bruce wayne #jason todd

Indomitable human spirit

The only person who I think embodies this 100% is Bruce MF Wayne

He’s been creeping people out with his uncanny intelligence the moment he could open his eyes

He regularly goes toe to toe with aliens, gods, metas and supers

He is THE LIVING BREATHING EMBODIMENT of the Indomitable Human Spirit

Try and tell me I’m wrong I fucking dare you
