Currently writing a superbat fanfic with Dick as Robin, would anyone be interested in reading it? (Premise in description)
It takes place just before Dick officially becomes Robin. He already knows Bruce is Batman and has been training for about a year. Batman and Superman know each other, but only recently started teaming up for missions (Batman still doesn’t completely trust Superman and they do not know each other’s secret identities)
Superbat and Batfam!!
Dick is ~8 years old in this.
It’s told through Clark and Dick’s POV
Premise: Gotham Academy is hosting its annual career week- Distinguished professionals in their respective fields are invited to share their experiences and career journeys with the student body.
Dick found the entire thing a waste of time (he was training to be a super hero after all and what career could compare with that?)…that is until Clark Kent began his lecture on Journalism. Dick didn’t care about journalism. What he did care about was Superman. And the man in front of him had not only met Superman, but knew him well enough to interview him. Multiple times. Superman. His favorite superhero.
He’d begged Bruce to meet Superman ever since learning B was Batman. And while B flat out refused (“You’re not meeting an alien”), he couldn’t help but think there was also a small bit of jealousy at play (after all Batman should be his favorite superhero). That didn’t matter now though because sitting in front of him is literally Superman’s personal reporter. Feigning interest in a career in journalism, Dick asks Clark if he’d be willing to take him on as a mentor…..
Clark is simultaneously surprised that any of the wealthy kids at Gotham Academy would be interested in a career in journalism and throughly charmed by Dick’s request to be his mentee. Clark tells Dick he’d like to meet with his guardian first and if he’s okay with it, he’d be more than happy to be his mentor.
Bruce, ecstatic that Dick has seemingly shifted his focus from joining him on missions to a…to a career in journalism, tells Dick to invite Clark over for dinner.
A week later, Clark arrives at the Wayne mansion. Both Bruce and Dick open the door to greet their guest.
After stepping inside and saying hi to Dick, Clark extends his hand to Bruce “Hello Mr. Wayne, I’m Clark Kent. Thank you for inviting me over for dinner.”
It’s very unlike B to be rude. Why isn’t he shaking Mr. Kent’s hand? Dick looks up at B and sees his mouth agape and eyes bulging out of their sockets. “What are you-“ Bruce begins to say but catches himself. He looks down at his son and back to Clark, assessing the situation. Manners finally remembered, Bruce shakes his hand and invites their guest in.
And so it begins!!!
Again this will be told from Clark and Dick’s POV. Oh and did I mention Superman has a huuuugeee crush on Batman? Identity p*rn ensues! (It’ll be rated Teen, no smut). I intend it to be a slooowwww burn and a long ff- at least 100k words. This is just a summary! The above story will span multiple chapters, with many more chapters to follow! It is also better written lol.
Also…to anyone who thinks a pair of glasses can fool the world’s greatest detective, is sorely mistaken. He knows. Oh he definitely knows.
