Okay, well

The Batkids are away from home for a hell of a long time while Bruce organizes the Justice League.

Bruce changes under the influence of his friends from the League, because he spends a long time with them, training, and goes through trials. The league truly becomes his friends, almost his family. And just as he influences the League, the League influences him.

In short, Bruce is changing, but since the Batkids are not on the radar at all (because, ugh, Bruce, we can do without you, you're so old and don't understand us *sounds of disgruntled and rebellious teenagers), they don't know it.

And then they return to Gotham just as abruptly as they left it.

Batkids think they have changed. That they were older, more experienced, stronger, all the things that would make Bruce respect them. What will show Bruce that he doesn’t know them, that he will see that they are already different.

At the same time, they think that what Bruce is is an unchanging point in the universe. That Bruce is Bruce, he doesn't change, doesn't get younger or older, that he doesn't get smoother around the edges or in the style of it. Bruce cannot change in their eyes, they know Bruce and know that he will always be the Bruce they remember.

But Bruce is changing.

Superman walking right behind her: *carefully putting the rest of the door back in place* Bruce

Bruce teaching Captain Marvel how to drift in a $292936272 million car: What?

Ten-year-old Billy Batson driving a car: Soooooo coooooool!!!!!!

YES, YES, YES, Bruce Wayne just has a LOT of different cars and his hobby is stunts/racing/whatever on vehicles.

Batman: You could run

Flash while in the Batmobile because his leg was cut: Actually yes, BUT my leg wound still itches and your car is awesome

Batman: ...

Flash: Why do you need two?.. *rolls back* Four seats lol maybe you have a Batminivan somewhere or something.

Batman, gripping steering wheel: Yes

Flash: What

Batman: Yes, I have

We combine this with the AU, where the League is not particularly aware of the existence of the Batfamily and we get:

Justice League in minivan (Barry squeals "BATminivan"): So

Batman driving: Before you ask a question, you should think again

Justice League: ...what other cars do you have and why. Have you used this car? More than ten people fit here

Batman: *remembers Batfamily* .... :( ((.

They're on an undercover mission, and at least half of them don't need a car, they decide to ride anyway.

Bruce changes under the influence of his friends from the League, because he spends a lot of time with them, training, going through tests. The League really becomes his friends, almost family. And just as he influences the League, so the League influences him.

Long story short, Bruce is changing, but since the Batkids are completely off the radar (because, ugh, Bruce, we can do without you, you're so old and don't understand us *sounds of angry and rebellious teenagers*), they don't know it.

And then they return to Gotham as abruptly as they left it.

The Batkids think they have changed. That they were older, more experienced, stronger, all the things that would make Bruce respect them. What will show Bruce that he does not know them, that he will see that they are already different.

At the same time, they think that what kind of Bruce is an invariable point of the universe. That Bruce is Bruce, he doesn't change, he doesn't get younger and older, that he doesn't get smoother around the edges or in style. Bruce cannot change in their eyes, they know Bruce and know that he will always be the Bruce they remember.

But Bruce is changing

Do not misunderstand me.

How old was Dick when Mary and John were killed? Eight or ten years? At this age, most almost worship their parents and do not notice the shortcomings that everyone has. And after the death of Mary and John? Do you look at an injured child and say "Uh lol dude your parents weren't as good as you think"??? No. Therefore, people around only convince Dick (who remembers only good things) how wonderful his parents were, even if they think that "Well, that's not entirely true." The same applies to Bruce, but we are talking about Dick in this post.

So. If Dick's parents hadn't killed him, then as Dick grows older, they focus more and more only on the fact that Dick is a very good acrobat and begin to forget that there is something else behind his abilities, which are much better than the two of them combined. It no longer suits the teenage Dick the way it did the child Dick, who liked it when, after performances, they tousled his hair and said how beautifully he played the role. Dick fights with his parents who only want to continue his career (so that he becomes better than them, finds a better place, becomes famous, grabs the stars) and runs away from the circus because he wants to actually do science (maybe forensics), and not only swing on the trapeze. Dick is an inherently smart guy who is good in many ways, he doesn't want to be just where his parents see him. Mary, John, and the owner of the circus himself, who receives a lot of money for his performances, continue to bend their line about continuing their acrobat career, because Dick is doing it! He fucking does it!! It is foolish to throw it for the sake of something else, which is not a fact!

Dick escapes from the circus and learns and develops the way he wants. But since he is already a well-known circus personality... He chooses a place where the circus has not come since he was ten, chooses a place where no one knows about joy, does not know his face.

Now the Batfamily must deal with six-year-old Bruce, who constantly asks them "Um, I miss my parents, when will they be back?".

-

Six-year-old Bruce: Where are my parents?

All members of the Batfam mentally screaming: Oh God help me

-

Six-year-old Bruce: *Behaves NOT dramatic, NOT sad, NOT angry, NOT gloomy. Acts like a normal happy, carefree and sweet child*

Batfam: *covers face with palms. Cries*.

-

Batfamily: You know, the sky is so blue today

Bruce: I want my mom, I want my dad, why did they leave me and not say anything?

Batfam under his breath: Damn. I don't want to be in this damn place right now, god kill me, devil take my soul

Batfam immediately smiling and putting their hands on little Bruce's shoulders encouragingly: Oh, don't worry, they're all right, you'll see soon

-

AND LOOKED WHEN HE NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS FIGHTING FOR

OH MY GOD

Barry is literally the pet of the Speedforce.

Didn't the Speed ​​Force once look at "funny little guy who wears stripped pajamas with the caps and says snork hrnk mimimi when he sleeps" and think: Oh my god, I love him 🥺🥺🥺.

And then helped out with whatever heck he did. And gave strength to just about anyone, because Barry said in the style of "Um, a former classmate of my maternal grandmother's favorite salesman of an ex-girlfriend of my acquaintance, whom we met once in the sandbox once in four years, called me and asked if I could give her Super Speed. I said yes, Speed ​​Force, please give her speed."

And the Speed ​​Force, looking into his eyes, can't say No, because, damn it, for Barry, she is ready to break the universe three thousand more times.

Me: You know, Batman wouldn't do thata

-----------------

Batman: *does something kind to kids*

Me: Oh yes it's canon :)

Batman in the same comic: *does something bastard*

Me: There are so many comics that it's hard to pinpoint a clear canon, especially since there's a chance that this comic isn't canon itself, so I'm going to cut that one off :)

Someone: But you keep showing a frame where Batman did good things to children, ignoring what happened in the next issue.

Me, raising the gun: This will be our secret

--------------------

Someone: Technically, your headcanon can't be true, because...

Me: La-la-la, I can't hear anything, La-la-la, stop it or I'm going to cry right here and now
