At some point Bruce kisses him as superman after a rescue and Clark is emotionally going through it coz his boyfriend kissed another guy. Even if that guy is technically him he's still mad and jealous of himself somehow coz even superman can't compete with Superman. He's not even sure whether or not to confronted Bruce about his affair since it keeps happening.

While he's trying to figure all this out Batman,of all people, kisses him. And he does it so casually. Sure, Clark had a crush on him for a while but he's over it now and he's in a committed relationship that he thought batman knew about. Now he's extra scared of confronting Bruce because he doesn't want it to look like he's just starting a fight so he can be with batman. And he's still hoping there's a way to work through this and for them to be together. He's being haunted by his moral code to just talk about this and get it over with but he's still afraid of losing Bruce and living in the shadow of the idolized version of himself again.

*Meanwhile in the batcave*

La la la Bruce, twirling around liking a fairy princess living his best life: my boyfriend's the best and every thing is perfect. Maybe world peace is real. Is this what happiness feels like?

Clark (nervously): I sorta... broke your favourite mug

Bruce: [sighs] Its fine, look on the bright side, now it's as broken as I am and we match

Clark: Bruce don't—

Bruce: Want to make my back match too?

*At a cafe, Team RWBY were having a small lunch, though three of the quartet of women were laughing and giggling*

Yang: *chuckles* "No fucking way, Blake!"

Blake: *smug* "Yes fucking way. *sniffs the air* "That's definitely the same cheese sandwich Jaune cooks."

Ruby: *snickers* "Holy crud! Weiss totally loves Jaune's cooking."

Weiss: *blushes* "Shut up! All three of you!" *takes a slow bite out of the cheese sandwich*

*As Team R(W)BY laughed while Blake sulk-eats, a certain Mark Grayson enters the cafe*

Ruby: *turns to Blake* "That's so cool! What other scents can you pick up on?"

Blake: *sniffs the air again, blinks* "Huh, that's odd." *spots Mark* "I'll be right back, girls." *gets up from her seat, following where the young man*

Yang: *blinks in confusion* "What's gotten Blake all interested?"

Ruby: *shrugs* "Maybe she knew him at the bookstore?"

Weiss: *swallows* "Maybe he has fish on him?"

Ruby & Yang: "WHOOOAAAA, WEISS!"

Yang: *cringes* "Uncool, Ice Queen!"

Ruby: *glares* "Unprompted and uncalled for racism!"

Weiss: *scoffs* "Oh, you three making jokes about my gifts from Jaune is comedy gold, but my jokes equal racism?!"

*As Team RW(B)Y argues, Blake approaches the unaware Mark Grayson*

Mark: *looks at the menu* "Damn, not a lot of choice on the menu."

Blake: *approaches* "Heya~."

Mark: *turns around, alarmed* "Oh! Oh, uh, hey...miss--."

Blake: "You know, you still have the smell of rubble on you."

Mark: *eyes widen, whispers* "Keep that on the down low, please!"

Blake: *whispers* "Don't worry, tight buns, your secret's safe with me~."

Mark: *groans, still whispering* "Please don't call me that."

Blake: *giggles, still whispering* "Your suit hugs against them~."

---

*Team RW(B)Y's argument stops, the trio looking at the exchange between Blake and Mark*

Ruby: *blinks* "Okay, they're totally bookstore buddies."

Yang: "I mean, I can see it."

Weiss: "The only book that cad seems to have read is a comic book."

Yang: *turns to Weiss* "Says Miss 'I gobble up Jaune's cooking'."

Blah blah blah proper name place name backstory stuff

What is precalc even about anymore 😭

Like for instance what if they have to go off and superhero with others? (Not including their families I mean). Say if there's suddenly the yearly alien invasion that the JL needs to get together to beat. Would they be able to fight convincingly as each other or just kinda fumble given that they've not had that much time to develop the necessary skillset for this body? Would they be able to handle interacting with the JL as their counterpart, or would Batman suddenly be an optimistic guy giving reassurance and pep talks to the team while Superman either broods in a corner or starts spouting intricate plans with eighty contingencies? And what if one of them happens to in some way come into contact with Diana's lassoo- will they be able to keep the ruse intact or is the game immediately up?

(I'm also wagering that a good few members of the JL have taken some sort of photos/ videos of the things they do for blackmail purposes)

So uh. As you may be able to tell I very much enjoyed this concept. There are worms wriggling about in my brain and they all whisper Clark and Bruce's names

Wait that opens up an entirely new facet of this scenario, and I love it, thank you anon

I think in the body swap scenario, and this isn't me biased towards batman, i love both him and clark equally, but Bruce would be able to cruise by with his new superpowers, easily. Clark would be the one who would be struggling a little.

Bruce has extensive files all over them, he's human, he's observant, he knows how Clark operates. And he's pretty adaptable too, so he'd be terrifying.

He'd obviously have to figure out minor kinks on how to better control his powers, but he's talked and trained with clark long enough to do how to do that. Bruce never had any powers, that was never his usp, and now that he does, he's like the most overpowered character in the verse. He'd absolutely I think, if no one in the league knows about it, imitate Clark's cheery attitude, Bruce would just view it as putting on another mask like he does for Brucie Wayne. Martian manhunter knows but he doesn't tell anyone, because he's Bruce's best friend and he supports his friend

Now, that's not to say obviously, that clark would be weak or that everything heroic about him is his powers, but now he's in a more fragile body, obviously he's super intelligent and would be able to adapt real fast too. But the key difference is that while Bruce is simply gaining something, Clark is the one losing his powers. He'd also, absolutely, enjoy imitating Bruce, he's a journalist after all, he knows how to pretend.

I think they're obsessed(affectionate) enough with each other that they'd be able to emulate each other pretty well! Plus, clark now gets the added benefit of a gaggle of robins behind him and Bruce now has to walk alone, so in that way, the gain loss is the opposite

I don't really know enough about like the lasso to really say anything about that but does it like excuse loopholes? Because if it does then technically, they are clark and bruce!

Omggg this post would be too long if I talked about the reactions of the JL too, I think I'll make another post about those scenarios, it'd be so funny

There's this one panel I remember in which clark is insulting Gotham and Bruce is insulting metropolis, that will definitely, definitely be their reactions when they have to spend extended amounts of time there

I get those brain worms from time to time too, they're eating up my brain now, I think I've been convinced to make like atleast two more posts about this
