    Summary

    Bruce, like every self-respecting young Gothamite did, pretended to be a decent human being for as long as he was in the presence of his driving instructors. It’s been years and hundreds of speeding tickets since then, and that’s without even mentioning his handling of the Batmobile.

    Now, it’s Dick’s turn. Having just turned sixteen, he can finally apply for a driver’s license (legally). The problem?

    Dick, who basically grew up in the front seat of the Batmobile, has no benchmark for what is considered ‘normal’ driving.

     

    Alternatively; Dick Grayson is finally allowed to take his driving test. There are casualties involved.

    Summary

    Gotham’s elite don't hiss the words charity case or publicity stunt to one another in opulent halls, uncalloused hands raised to disguise the shape of those scandalous, scandalous words.

    They say bastard.

    And for once, they’re actually right.

    (Or; Batkids are Bruce’s biological kids AU)

    Summary

    “So!” Dick says with great fanfare, throwing himself across Bruce’s designated chair with nary a care in the world.

    The Justice League look on with a mix of befuddled awe, like they’ve never seen a child dressed up like a traffic light before. Which they haven't. Bruce mentally steels himself as Dick clears his throat. “Why am I here, you ask? Well, when two people love one another very, very much-”

    “You’re adopted.” Bruce says.

    Or; Bruce lets Dick attend a Justice League meeting on the Watchtower. Bruce has regrets.

    Summary

    There are three things the Justice League is absolutely certain about Batman:
    1. He’s got trust issues the size of Gotham.
    2. He probably has, like, two kids. Max three.
    3. He definitely doesn’t do softness.

    Until Nightwing gets dosed mid-battle with a new truth serum, and starts calling Batman Dad in front of everyone like it’s common knowledge.

    (Or: Lex Luthor rallies a villain team-up, the League calls in the Titans, and a delirious Dick Grayson shatters the illusion Bruce has spent years crafting)
