Libbylove @lvBananana

OMG BRUCIE GET HIS ASS??

 

[The camera shows a wide angle view of a public square. To the left, just off camera is a large ornate water fountain. The backdrop is a row of fancy storefronts, but it’s out of focus, as a few dozen people stand surrounding the focus of the camera, forming a circle. Some have phones out, and most are loudly cheering. 

In the centre, the camera focuses on a guy in a suit beating up a clown.

The camera zooms, throwing Bruce Wayne’s features into focus as he performs a picture-perfect judo throw on the Joker, slamming him into the ground. He steps back, as if satisfied, only to begin to kick the clown again while he’s down, repeatedly.

The camera shakes with the force of the operator’s cheering.]

How are they even similar

 

Neph @catarangs 

A metric shitton of kids, lots of money, peak meme potential

 

Mocha on PC @_mochelly_ 

Then how is brucie better?

 

Neph @catarangs

Batman became emo and Brucie became iconic

 

Mocha on PC @_mochelly_ 

So they both decided to Slay but Brucie took it figuratively while Batman took it (sorta) literally?

 

Neph @catarangs

Exactly.

Creds to @Mikeluciraphgabe for the OG tweet I saw on tumblr + @Emo-batboy for the Top 10 moments Lex Luthor was a little bitch tweet, go check them out!

The kiddos are around in this fic, but just pretend that they’re like doing JLA or team stuff. I might make a sequel chapter w/ them but right now it’s just strangers on the internet lmao
