Javier : *fast-forwards all the way through the movie*
John : You can't just skip to the happy ending!
Javier : I don't have time for their problems.

how crazy do you think the AO3 authours notes are in gotham?
"Joker killed my grandma with a reindeer whilst playing 'grandma got run over by a reindeer' and i don't think i can continue to write this JokerBat fic anymore guys sorry :/ it just feels disrespectful."
“Look, I get if Batman/Clark Kent isn’t your cup of tea, but the guy writes more about Batman than anyone else outside of Gotham. There’s got to be a reason, is all I’m saying.”
“And here I am, jumping on the Batman/Bruce Wayne train like the rest of our beloved hellhole. Anyway, if you’re not from Gotham you can keep your criticisms to yourself or I will not be held responsible for the bloodshed that will occur should you insult our beloved sunshine child and his goth sugar baby. You don’t know them like we do.”
“Hey, sorry I haven’t updated in awhile. I died and then got caught up in this whole my-father-didn’t-avenge-me angst thing. Which was completely justified in my opinion. Anyway…”
“Let’s be honest, this entire series is dedicated to the fact that Red Hood could crush any of us with his thighs and we’d say thank you.”
“I just read a fic shipping Nightwing/Superman and I mean, come on. The author is clearly not from Gotham but I can never unsee that and I think I should be entitled to financial compensation.”
“Sorry it’s been awhile, I just got a new job! With the Best Boss™️ (if you know, you know). Also, my boss said he’d give a hundred bucks if I wrote a Batman bashing fic? Thoughts? Ngl I don’t think it’d even be that hard.”
“‘WHy aRE yoU WriTIng ABouT FakE SupERheROes WHen THe rEAl oNEs aRE riGHt tHEre?’ Uh, because it’s Gotham and they’re all a disaster? And also because I don’t want to be haunted by the venegeful spirits of robins past idk. Thinking of doing a crossover though. Batman in the Avengers? Thoughts?”
“I just want my husband Nightwing to be happy, is that too much to ask?”
“I came across Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy on my way home from school today and will now be hyperfixating on that ship, thanks.”
“Leave me and my 235k word fic of Prince!Bruce/Knight!Batman alone you Metropolis and Superman-loving traitors. This is not for you.”
a non-comprehensive list of reasons why bruce has tried banning halloween in the manor
1. dick was overly trusting of clowns as a child. he still holds the family record for most kidnappings in a single night
2. jason tried wearing his robin uniform as a costume. every. year.
3. jason then graduated to dressing up as his corpse and haunting (traumatizing) his brothers
4. cass always manages to scare him. no clark he does not shriek.
5. tim, duke, and steph got ‘spooky scary skeletons’ stuck in his head and martian manhunter started laughing at him in a JL meeting because of it
6. damian was followed and subsequently kidnapped by what they assumed was a group of very tall trick or treaters, but were actually just the league
7. that time of year is when jerry the turkey gets a little self aware (re: defensive). there have been incidents.
8. he walked downstairs only to be greeted with every member of his family dressed like green lantern. even alfred.
9. young justice decided to throw a giant party and to get in you had to wear the shittiest batman costume possible for their contest
10. jason won said contest. he didn’t even stay for the party, he just wanted the excuse
11. gotham rogues are drama kids and are therefore sluts for good thematic irony, so half of them do special edition attacks on halloween
12. the kids all do a candy swap at the end of the night, they invite kate and not him
13. tim has an allergy to peppermint and never seems to be aware of this, so he has to keep multiple epi pens on standby
14. he’s expected to wear slutty costumes and that’s just not worth his playboy cover
15. alfred only confiscates the candy he gets
16. he was just really hungover one year
17. damian has made them all watch coraline so. many. times. he doesn’t even get nightmares anymore
18. tim goes on a sugar high and has to be put on tech lockdown or he might frame lex luthor for murder and extort 90% of gotham’s elite
19. when dick and jason were younger they left open pumpkins outside his door and he would accidentally step in them every morning
20. damian tried to convince them to bob for apples with lazarus water
21. tim fell asleep while bobbing for apples (in normal water) and almost drowned
22. dick and steph drew a glittery skeleton over the batsuit
23. when he complains they all call him the grinch. it’s not even christmas.
24. pumpkin carving always leads to them flinging the innards at eachother and making a mess even alfred refuses to clean
25. the validity of candy corn argument comes to blows. every. single. year.
26. duke lead a revolt one year against the tyranny of bruce’s “no slanderous costumes” policy (he wanted to be slutty batman)
27. the kids throw a rager in the cave and somehow never get caught. it’s the only time they’re all willing to clean and it pisses bruce off that he can’t prove it.
28. bruce got sick and clark walked around the watchtower in a batman costume pretending to be him for two days
29. steph and dick glued the lorax mustache to him while he was sleeping because he refused to pick a costume. it didn’t come off for a week, and lois posted an article speculating he was secretly a natural ginger.
30. all the kids stayed in once and watched ‘it’s the great pumpkin charlie brown’ instead of partying and he’s been trying to get them to do it again ever since
Examples of Bruce’s “Dad Strength” as witnessed by various Robins throughout the years:
can and will bodily pick up any new Robin and bail as soon as gunfire starts on patrol
one time Bruce got out, physically ripped off a broken part of the Batmobile, and threw it in the backseat so he and Jason could keep chasing someone in the Narrows
ran home with Nightwing over his shoulder when he got shot
frequently lifts sewer grates/manhole covers like they weigh nothing
does push-ups with Robins on his back for a challenge
held onto the side of a building with just his fingers for ten minutes once when Steph’s grapple line broke and he had to help her back up
pulls hot dishes from the oven without mitts sometimes for Alfred (insists scar tissue on his hands means he can’t feel it, nobody fully believes him)
Damian swears he saw him kick a tree down once during training. A big tree.
Dick frequently catches him unscrewing screws in his prototypes with his bare fingers
Punches through walls????
can drink nothing but straight black coffee for several days before any signs of discomfort (this freaks out everyone but Tim)
Could we get some That Unemployed Friend On A Tuesday Jason x Redneck Engineer Roy
[on the phone]
Dick: Hey, I'm about to go on lunch break. Do you and Roy wanna come?
Jason: Nah, we're already cooking.
Roy: *throws a match into a bucket of kerosene*
Dick: Is everything okay? I hear something on fire.
Jason, putting a baking tray on the flaming bucket: Yep, just making grilled cheese.
———————
Tim: *working in his office*
Jason and Roy: *hovers outside the window*
Tim: What the hell?
Jason: We turned our bikes into a helicopter.
Roy: We gotta keep pedaling so we don't fall.
———————
[at a restaurant]
Roy: Dude, this place is deserted.
Jason: I know. Normally it's packed.
Steph, the waitress: That's because it's 2 PM. And please stop making the Eiffel Tower with forks.
Roy, connecting forks: ...

[at the high school]
Duke: Uh... what are you guys doing here?
Jason: We decided to enter the science fair.
Roy: Allow me to introduce the Duct Tape Blimp 2.0!
———————
[at the middle school]
Damian: My idiot brother and his friend are in the teacher's lounge.
Jon: Why?
Damian: To show off their junkyard coffee maker.
———————
Bruce: Jason, I thought I told you to shovel the driveway.
Jason: We are!
Bruce: We?
Roy, on an ATV with shovels attached: 'Sup B-man.
Like all Arab mothers Taila al Ghul wears sandals for one perpose and one perpose only.
It is the ultimate weapon of discipline. It flies at speeds that go upto 380 k/h. Easy to put on and very easy to take off to hit her boys.
Jason and Damian grew to fear the sound of sandals.
They didn't clean their rooms; hight speed sandal to the back of their heads.
Half assing training; sandal in the face.
Rushing thought prayers; oh is dear, is that shoe flying.
Stuffing food down their throats; that's a very nice look bruise at the back of your head there boys.
And you best believe that when Jason and Damian have kids of their own, Talia would buy sandals for them.
Plot armor but it’s Bruce Wayne’s wealth.
Bruce is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce does not want to be one of the richest men in world.
He starts by implementing high starting salaries and full health care coverages for all levels at Wayne Enterprises. This in vastly improves retention and worker productivity, and WE profits soar. He increases PTO, grants generous parental and family leave, funds diversity initiatives, boosts salaries again. WE is ranked “#1 worker-friendly corporation”, and productively and profits soar again.
Ok, so clearly investing his workers isn’t the profit-destroying doomed strategy his peers claim it is. Bruce is going to keep doing it obviously (his next initiative is to ensure all part-time and contractors get the same benefits and pay as full time employees), but he is going to have to find a different way to dump his money.
But you know what else is supposed to be prohibitively expensive? Green and ethical initiatives. Yes, Bruce can do that. He creates and fund a 10 year plan to covert all Wayne facilities to renewable energy. He overhauls all factories to employ the best environmentally friendly practices and technologies. He cuts contracts with all suppliers that engage in unethical employment practices and pays for other to upgrade their equipment and facilities to meet WE’s new environmental and safety requirements. He spares no expense.
Yeah, Wayne Enterprises is so successful that they spin off an entire new business arm focused on helping other companies convert to environmentally friendly and safe practices like they did in an efficient, cost effective, successful way.
Admittedly, investing in his own company was probably never going to be the best way to get rid of his wealth. He slashes his own salary to a pittance (god knows he has more money than he could possibly know what to do with already) and keeps investing the profits back into the workers, and WE keeps responding with nearly terrifying success.
So WE is a no-go, and Bruce now has numerous angry billionaires on his back because they’ve been claiming all these measures he’s implementing are too expensive to justify for decades and they’re finding it a little hard to keep the wool over everyone’s eyes when Idiot Softheart Bruice Wayne has money spilling out his ears. BUT Bruce can invest in Gotham. That’ll go well, right?
Gotham’s infrastructure is the OSHA anti-Christ and even what little is up to code is constantly getting destroyed by Rogue attacks. Surely THAT will be a money sink.
Except the only non-corrupt employer in Gotham city is….Wayne Enterprises. Or contractors or companies or businesses that somehow, in some way or other, feed back to WE. Paying wholesale for improvement to Gotham’s infrastructure somehow increases WE’s profits.
Bruce funds a full system overhaul of Gotham hospital (it’s not his fault the best administrative system software is WE—he looked), he sets up foundations and trusts for shelters, free clinics, schools, meal plans, day care, literally anything he can think of.
Gotham continues to be a shithole. Bruce Wayne continues to be richer than god against his Batman-ingrained will.
Oh, and Bruice Wayne is no longer viewed as solely a spoiled idiot nepo baby. The public responds by investing in WE and anything else he owns, and stop doing this, please.
Bruce sets up a foundation to pay the college tuition of every Gotham citizen who applies. It’s so successful that within 10 years, donations from previous recipients more than cover incoming need, and Bruce can’t even donate to his own charity.
But by this time, Bruce has children. If he can’t get rid of his wealth, he can at least distribute it, right?
Except Dick Grayson absolutely refuses to receive any of his money, won’t touch his trust fund, and in fact has never been so successful and creative with his hacking skills as he is in dumping the money BACK on Bruce. Jason died and won’t legally resurrect to take his trust fund. Tim has his own inherited wealth, refuses to inherit more, and in fact happily joins forces with Dick to hack accounts and return whatever money he tries to give them. Cass has no concept of monetary wealth and gives him panicked, overwhelmed eyes whenever he so much as implies offering more than $100 at once. Damian is showing worrying signs of following in his precious Richard’s footsteps, and Babs barely allows him to fund tech for the Clocktower. At least Steph lets him pay for her tuition and uses his credit card to buy unholy amounts of Batburger. But that is hardly a drop in the ocean of Bruce’s wealth. And she won’t even accept a trust fund of only one million.
Jason wins for best-worst child though because he currently runs a very lucrative crime empire. And although he pours the vast, vast majority of his profits back into Crime Alley, whenever he gets a little too rich for his tastes, he dumps the money on Bruce. At this point, Bruce almost wishes he was being used for money laundering because then he’s at least not have the money.
So children—generous, kindhearted, stubborn till the day they die the little shits, children—are also out.
Bruce was funding the Justice League. But then finances were leaked, and the public had an outcry over one man holding so much sway over the world’s superheroes (nevermind Bruce is one of those superheroes—but the public can’t know that). So Bruce had to do some fancy PR trickery, concede to a policy of not receiving a majority of funds from one individual, and significantly decrease his contributions because no one could match his donations.
At his wits end, Bruce hires a team of accounts to search through every crinkle and crevice of tax law to find what loopholes or shortcuts can be avoided in order to pay his damn taxes to the MAX.
The results are horrifying. According to the strictest definition of the law, the government owes him money.
Bruce burns the report, buries any evidence as deeply as he can, and organizes a foundation to lobby for FAR higher taxation of the upper class.
All this, and Wayne Enterprises is happily chugging along, churning profit, expanding into new markets, growing in the stock market, and trying to force the credit and proportionate compensation on their increasingly horrified CEO.
Bruce Wayne is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce Wayne will never not be one of the richest men in the world.
But by GOD is he trying.
If you could live in one DC city, which one would you choose? Star City? Central City? Metropolis? Gotham? Or a different one?
All of them have their pros and cons
Star City
- Pros: the Arrowfam
- Cons: Ollie's chili
Central City/Keystone
- Pros: more mentally stable Rogues gallery
- Cons: the Midwest
Metropolis
- Pros: not Gotham
- Cons: gotta buy a new car every week the way they get thrown through your office
Smallville
- Pros: Kon
- Cons: corn
Gotham
- Pros: grunge vibes
- Cons: Gotham
The Batfam as getting called to the principal office?
[in the hallway]
Bruce: Explain. Now.
Duke: Well, it all started when I kinda-sorta-not-accidentally started a food fight by using a hamburger as a hackey sack.
Damian: And he roped me into it by insulting my honor.
Steph: He just called you short. Get over it, pipsqueak.
Bruce: Why are you here?
Steph: Duke called for backup after Damian made a napkin sword, so I brought it.
Cass: I'm backup.
Tim: And the car you stole to get here was mine.
Bruce: Okay, what about you, Dick?
Dick: The school got your voicemail so they called me, but then I needed to use the bathroom and flooded it. It was an accident!

Jason: Missing assignments.

Superman: Say it.
Batman: No.
Superman: SAY IT.
Batman: *mumbles too softly to be heard*
Superman: Can’t hear you.
Batman: You have superhearing, Superman.
Superman: I can wait as long as it takes.
Batman:
Batman, just loudly enough for the microphone to pick it up: You’re my best friend.

(Part 1)
When you become a speedster it's just inevitable that everything you own will become part of the group for casual use because distance means nothing and you're in one communal unit.
So when Wally finally takes the plunge to a buy an airfryer everyone is quick to remind him that it's really...
Some Kansan things I think Clark and the other supers from Kansas would say or do, by a Kansan:
Yee Yee: an exclamation said before one does something exciting, such as hunting, fishing, or shotgunning
Ope let me squeeze right on past ya there, sorry
Yeehaw: definitely said while flying around.
Have overly weird "salads". I don't even know how or why they are classified as salads, but that's what we call them. (Smth like lime jello salad)
Clark as a teen has definitely tried weed. There is jack fucking shit to do in KS but fight and do drugs (in gas station parking lots). That's how he knows drugs don't work on him. He tried them.
Aldis.
Brooding in fields.
Trader Joe's!
They all know way too much about different types of grass. Just going to school in Kansas does that to ya.
*grabs wild animal* this here is a friendly lil guy, innhe? *animal is biting, hissing, and spitting*
Yes to the overly politeness, even if they don't like someone. But if they don't like someone, it's passive aggressive. So, so passive aggressive.
That's all I can think of for now. There are probably more.
Wait who is Tims assigned youtuber?????
Well
Jason's reaction to coming back from the dead after dying around 2015 and coming back in 2019 or even 2020 (Tim is about 20 and Jason is about 3 years older so Jason was born in 2000)
Jason: So what did I miss when I was... you know...
Damian: Unalive?
Jason: Come again?
Damian: We can't say the d-word anymore.
Jason: Okay... what else happened between 2016 and now?
Damian: David Bowie, Brexit vote, Pokémon, phones explode.
Barbara: Women marching, global warming, Russian hacking probe.
Harper: Venezuela, Stormy Daniels, Thanos dusting, Meghan Markle.
Duke: Hong Kong protests, Miles Morales, black hole photo.
Jason: Wait slow down—
Cullen: Parasite, quarantine, murder hornets, Cas and Dean.
Tim: Bitcoin, war in Ukraine, riot at the Capitol.
Cass: Algorithms, HRT, England lost their old queen.
Dick: Barbenheimer, free Palestine—hold on Jason, that’s not all!
Jason: *cocking his gun and leaving*
Everyone:
Steph: We didn’t start the fire.
If Clark is kidnapped, he knows without having to ask that Bruce is going to hunt him down with the help of the entire Justice League. They’ll find him! He’ll be fine!
If Bruce is kidnapped, he’ll just sit there — maybe getting lightly tortured — and dread the arrival of all 17 of his kids, one angry Kryptonian without his emotional support human, Alfred having a RED moment, the Batcow, and all of the active JL members who don’t hate him right now (Hal Jordan will probably still come with, but he will complain the entire time)
i wanna talk about this shot
bye to a real one… add your favourite smash mouth tweet
Hey there! So long time no see!
Bruce: So you all have a mode of transportation for the gala tonight?
Dick: Of course Bruce, save a four wheeler and ride a speedster.
Jason: Got it covered old man, save a harler and ride an archer.
Tim: Don’t worry Bruce I got it, save a limo and ride a country himbo.
Damian: Obviously father, save a wheel and ride the boy of steel.
Bruce: Mortified and facepalms.
Feel free to reblog/like!
Batfam's most suggested lunch spots
Dick: Bruce's office mini fridge after an important business outing
Jason: a Crime Alley dumpster where he once found a whole bag of gummy worms when he was ten
Tim: Jason's place after texting him from a burner number pretending to be Roy and Lian
Damian: Ivy's house—she makes vegan food with her worst-behaved plants
Duke: the only working vending machine at Gotham High, inside the teacher's lounge
Cullen: the Batburgers in the gay neighborhood with a secret Batwoman menu
Stephanie: the Waffle House where she was forced to out herself as Spoiler because robbers held it up in the middle of her meal, but to her surprise everyone in the restaurant agreed to keep her secret
Cassandra: the 24-hour convenience stores in Hong Kong where she can get an entire meal for the price of a bag of chips in America
Barbara: the GCPD break room—turns out tax dollars are paying for catering
Harper: everyone talks about Ma Kent's baking but not enough folks appreciate Pa's grilling
Carrie: a boardwalk vendor who combined pretzels and nachos
Kate: the Justice League cafeteria when it's Flash Fries Friday
Alfred: you would think he'd say his own cooking but it's actually the chicken shop near his old school
Selina: Arkham—she never wants to go back but she can't help but be nostalgic for her favorite mush
Bruce: he would say Alfred's cooking if Alfred hadn't flown back to England for chicken, so the next best is the steakhouse inside Wayne Enterprises
Do you think Tim holds things over his brothers' heads whenever he wants something?
Dick- Aw, there's only one piece of pizza left
Tim- Mine
Dick- Or, we could split it
Tim- Or, it's mine
Dick- You know, sharing is caring, Tim
Tim- You know what else is caring?
Dick- Hm?
Tim- Not gaslighting your sibling into thinking he's insane
Dick- ...
Tim- Not taking Robin from him
Dick- O-okay
Tim- Trusting that he's been right about enough things in the past that maybe, just maybe, he's right about your father being alive-,
Dick- You can have the pizza, dude. Jeez
Yyyyy
Jason, seeing Tim laying across the entire sofa he wanted to read on- You can either move or be sat on, little man
Tim, not even looking up- Today is not the day. I fucking dare you to try me
Jason- Tim, move. I am bigger than you. I am stronger than you. I will crush you
Tim- Bigger, maybe.
Jason- Tim-,
Tim, locking eyes with Jason- How long did you last with Joker? Half hour?
Jason- Excuse me?
Tim, holding up three fingers- I dealt with Joker AND Harley. For three WEEKS. And survived
Jason- o.o???
Tim, getting cozy again- Get on my level, bitch
Yyyyy
Damian- You're delusional if you think you can beat me, Drake. I was trained by the best of the best!
Tim- The best of the best?
Damian- That's right!
Tim- When's the last time you checked on those 'best of the best' teachers of yours?
Damian- What are you talking about?
Tim- I'm talking about the fact that you might have been trained by them
Tim, leaning down to Damian's level- But I took them out
Damian- Wh-what??
Tim- Still want to spar?

28 - Human Disaster Bruce Wayne
I am in my angst today so I'm going to drop a few of ansty Batfam headcannons.
- Bruce till this day do that father thing of open the door of his kids room to see if they're sleeping and then closing (even when they're just visiting).
- The first time he did that to Tim, Tim pretended to be asleep and then he just started sobbing because Jack used to do the same thing too, and his mother before him.
- Dick, when he moved out of the manor, still would use the Batcomputer to do research from time to time. Everytime he slept on from tiredness he would woke up with Batman's cape on his shoulders.
- No one knows Bruce has a good singing voice other than Dick and Jason because he would sing to their sleep, sometimes, when they had nightmares.
- He stopped singing when Jason died. The only person who was able to hear him sing again was Damian. He pretended to be asleep, because if he opened his eyes he would noticed how much he misses his mother.
- Jason singed to Damian sleep once at the league. None of them remember that.
- Damian tries constantly to assure himself that he could take down every member of his family if he needed to. Deep down he knows he can't.
- Bruce spent weeks trying to master how to cut someone's hair ( with Alfred's help ) so he could give Dick a haircut, because Dick said to him that his mother used to cut his hair.
- Bruce taught every single one of his sons how to shave their beard.
- Bruce had a mental breakdown once because he was starting to forget his mother's face.
- Cass overanalyze everyone's body language to see if they're healthy and happy. She tries to stop herself sometimes because more often the answer is no.
- Sometimes Tim flinches when Jason moves to fast near him. They never talked about that out loud.
- Sometimes Damian's hand tremble when he grabs his sword, he can still feel the blade.
- In one of Dick's worst fights with Redhood the moment he got home he threw up. His brother's eyes used to be blue like his and not green.
- There was a time where Jason was so happy that Bruce's blue eyes were the same shade of his.
- Bruce's hands still tremble when he sees his children on the battlefield.
- Bruce has a habit of messing with his children's hair, every single one of them picked the same habit after him.
- When Dick moved out to the Titans Bruce couldn't sleep for weeks.
- Jason avoids to change clothes in front of his brothers because of the face Dick made when he saw his autopsy scars for the first time.
- One time Jason had a panic attack and misdialed Tim's number, Tim stayed on the line until Jason managed to sleep.
- There's times where Bruce says the word Robin and all of them look at him.
Damian and Jon hanging out at the Kent’s
Clark: Hey Jon, your pops just called me. Bessie went into labor so I’ll be gone for a bit. Do y’all need anything?
Damian: Your cow’s giving birth?!
Clark: Oh, yeah-
Damian, vibrating with excitement: Can I help?!
Jon:
Clark:
~ later ~
Clark, to Jon: You are marrying this boy. Do you understand me?
Clark: we're going to need someone to scare them. Wally stay out of this.
Wally: me? Why me!?
Diana: you're too nice Wally.
Bruce: just like Barry.
Wally: first of all, Uncle Barry beat the crap out of my dad beating the crap out of me. Lastly I'm dating your son, and Roy, best friends with Donna and Garth and you don't think that they rubbed off on me?
League: no.
Oliver: speedsters are just too nice.
Wally: yeah and you're incompetent you need a canary to take care of you.
Oliver: *gasp* you take that back!
Wally: then get off her lap.
Oliver, hugging Dinah: no, fuck off kid.
Bruce: hey that's uncalled for.
Wally: so was keeping Joker alive after he killed your son. Keep that silver spoon in your mouth and shut up before I spill secrets that they don't know about. Like, for example Agent A's favorite rug.
Bruce:
Clark: I apologize for thinking you're not scary, please take care of Lex.
Wally: you're forgiven, I'll have that man shaking in his boots.
Oliver: yeah, go pick on that man you monster...
Dinah: it's okay, that big scary Wally is gone.
Hal: all of you thought I was lying saying Barry can be scary. He created that little monster.
Diana: I wished I could have seen that.
Hour later
Wally, open the door: fuck you and the horse you rode in on lameass. *Slammed the door* he's crying and ready to plead for his crimes and step down as president.
Diana: well done, Wally.
Rest of the team except Clark: *shudder in fear*
Clark: dang, he really said fuck his mom too... Low blow.
I was bored so I decided to comedically describe what some of DC superheroes powers are, but horribly summarized.
Superman: Big dick energy
Batman: White privilege
Wonder Woman: Bondage and femdom/ the baddest bitch alive
The Flash: "🎶He's a runner, he's track star--*
Green Arrow: Also white privilege, but from wish
Black Canary: "Damn, that white girl can scream"
Huntress:"Hahaha! You messed with the wrong white girl!"

Bonus, Barry has some thoughts:

less jason todd body horror being attributed to the pit and more because he’s a cosmic mistake whose revival is unexplainable
I want Bruce to take care of the JL members like they're his children.
I want him to always make sure the kitchen at the watchtower is stocked with a variety of their favorite foods (especially sweets ans the like).
He'll also make sure everyone's quarters are perfectly tailored to their needs.
Like, when Flash mentions running cold after a stressful mission because he's burnt so many calories and it takes a while for his body to warm up again even if he starts eating immediately, fluffy blankets suddenly appear in his room and the temperature mysteriously rises whenever they've been out.
Clark once complains about the hum of the machinery keeping him from rest and the next time he's at the watchtower his room has been soundproofed, but with the option to turn it off in case he wants to listen out for what's happening on earth or something.
Bruce also makes sure to herd everyone to the medbay for a check-up after missions where he hovers and he behaves like a fierce mama bear. When a member returns to the field too early he'll full-on lecture them in front of everyone and there are several videos of this on social media.
Bruce does this for everyone. But some people (like Clark) get special attention, which means this behavior extends to their civilian life. So every once in a while, when Clark's had a bad day, a lunch delivery will arrive at his desk, containing his favorite meal, or something will break in his apartment (like his dishwasher that one time) but he has to get to work and doesn't have time to take care of it right then. It turns out he does have to. When he gets home, everything's fixed.
