Oracle and Batman that are fully in charge of their respective vigilanties.

Like Robins are Batman’s problem and Batgirls are hers.

If Oracle spots a Robin doing something she gives them a look, but doesn’t say anything.

If Batman catches a Batgirl doing something dead silence because the ringleader of that circus would have his balls.

Jack Drake Batman

Jamie Gordan Oracle

(Robins and Batgirls are a variety of genders it’s based off who your parents were honestly… also Nightwing is a Robin, Spoiler is a Batgirl but like vibes you know?)

If you are so knee deep that the other circus has to bail you out your in for a lecture especially a Batgirl because why am I receiving a call from Jack that John has to fish you out of the river.

But they don’t dislike each other they communicate perfectly, they are extremely efficient. Both made the collective decision to split down the middle or else it would be chaos.

It also helps that the parental figures are far more favorable to certain Bats bossing around their children or being in charge.

Jack Drake would not wish calling Dick Grayson about an injured John Grayson on his worst enemy.

Much like Jamie Gordan would not wish calling The one who is all about her injured daughter.

In the field you know who’s orders your expected to follow.

They do mix however.

All of them having to spend time under both Jack and Jamie.

Which means the day both are infuriated well the bats of the past stepped aside.

“Sorry kiddo on your own.”

“Tati please-“

“JOHN FUCKING GRAYSON, ARIA WAYNE GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE!”

“I don’t have to listen to you-“

“Aunt Cass please move-“

“WAIT JAMIE I-HELP..”

Cut to Bruce and Bab’s

“May I just say your successor was an excellent choice.”

“This batman isn’t half bad either…some would say possibly better than the previous.”

“Hmm.”

“Dick and Stephanie do not need DNA tests, Batmobile in the Gotham river..jesus.”

Description

No worries, you're perfectly clear to me!

The short answer is that we have textual and pictographic evidence that the Egyptians had and wore cloaks, which by and large would have been rectangular sheets of fabric and which were either wrapped, draped, or tied.

The longer answer is that there's relatively little evidence, but the evidence we do have shows potential different cuts and different ways of wearing of cloaks as well as shorter shawls. It's assumed that the cloaks may have doubled as blankets, but since we don't have any unequivocal extant examples we're not sure of that, nor of what material these as a rule were made of - or even if people would have owned different cloaks of different materials. By and large, textiles were made of linen or other types of plant fibre. Linen doesn't, however, take dye well and we do have depictions of colourful cloaks. If the depictions of those cloaks are true to reality it's possible that we may be looking at wool, which does take dye.

As with most ancient Egyptian clothing items, the style of wear would be subject to change and fashions throughout time. In the Old Kingdom, cloaks would be wrapped around both shoulders. You can see this style in the statue of princess Nofret:

Her cloak is relatively simple and wrapped around her shoulders, pulled together at the front. The fabric, at least at is is portrayed here, looks plain and smoothed. Ancient Egyptians didn't use a lot of dyed fabrics: in general, items of clothing were kept either their natural colour, or bleached white. Decoration would come from jewellery, as we can see in the way Nofret's necklace is the focal point of her attire.

In the Middle and New Kingdoms you see styles that are slightly more elaborate in that they could be knotted or were worn under one arm with the excess thrown over the other shoulder, like this relief of Ukh-hotep from his Middle Kingdom tomb in Meir:

The cloak is either striped or pleated. After the Old Kingdom pleated fabrics came in fashion, a style that reached peak popularity in the New Kingdom.

We also have this interesting relief showing three types of cloaks held up by six people, from the mastaba of Kha'afkhufu:

There's a similar relief in another tomb that shows the most-left cloak.
