I am currently writing a fic in which we get to see Superbat developing into a relationship through the eyes of Batman’s Rogues gallery.
In kind of a 5+1 things format.
With each of them having their own opinions and thoughts on the heroe couple. Along with it being an exploration of that respective rogue’s character and relationship with Batman.
So I wanted to ask for suggestions for scenarios on the fic and which rogues I should use.
Each time I see someone unironically call it grimdark I immediately know they are surface level watchers that let themselves get distracted by the dark lighting and explicit violence.
Because how can a trilogy of movies in which the main focus is returning hope back into the world be considered grimdark? Those movies are all about how trust and understanding are the right way to build connections and how those connections can make the world a better place. With the movie condeming those that refuse to trust and prefer to fear and hate.
I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade but I feel MAWS’ final villain is going to end up being Doomsday (with an show original backstory), and we all know what Doomsday does.
(It would Also be a nice parallel to S2 E8 name being “The Death of Clark Kent”)
if MAWS Clark dies I would cry a river.
As the title says movie and book Hiccup in a death match, each with all their available resources. Meaning movie Hiccup get things like his flaming sword and flight suit, while book Hiccup gets both dragons plus any weapons.
They have no knowledge of each other besides the fact the other is a dragon rider. They are both fighting to protect what they love. They start 100m away from each other.
A dragon fight followed by a physical fight.
¿Who would get thrown off their dragon first? ¿Who would win the fight on the ground?
Bonus rounds
Movie Stoick vs Book Stoick with and without dragons.
Movie Riders vs Book Riders (Hiccup's friend group)
An AU where the quincy race has actual bird like wings the color of their reiatsu.
And when quincy were more widespread they didn't hide their wings but as their population dwindled they were forced to either hide or cut them off.
Quincy like Ryuken cutting them off while Uryu hid them, only ever allowing them out in private.
Idk the idea just popped into my head and wouldn't leave me alone.
Something tells me Brainiac is not going to be fully defeated this season, like he is somehow going to escape while our heroes think they defeated him.
I feel he will return to cause trouble in later seasons, maybe teaming up with another Superman villain or maybe being the creator of Doomsday in MAWS (or something like that)
It is just he had been built as this bigger than life thing yet I am supposed to believe he is going to be defeated in 2 episodes? I doubt it.
Maybe I am wrong, who knows? Only time will tell.
I don't like the angle the story itself is trying to sell on him but I do think the reactions of the characters inside the story are realistic to what would happen to him in the real word.
Lex Luthor hates him because of his own internalized issues, using him as a scapegoat he can pin blame on. Pretending he hates him due to some higher purpose.
Bruce hates Superman because he doesn't understand him, and people fear what they don't understand. (and in this universe metas became common after Superman appeared so this Batman has no experience with superpowered beings, he didn't slowly increase the powerlevel of the powered being around him, he went from 0 to a 100, and that is scary)
The people who he has saved and cared for love him because they've seen him, they know him.
The people that hate him tend to be people in power or those affected by Black Zero.
He didn't get that much time to make the world know him, he was Superman for like 2 years only, compared to the 20+ he has in the comics.
He is this powerful being that sprung out of knowhere, that is bound to make people afraid, and no ones likes being afraid so they hate.
I think the most realistic part of the movie is the tv scene where people are sitting down and talking about weather he should be allowed to roam free or not.
As if it is moral to deny a sentient being freedom/ autonomy.
Because as much as it sucks to think about it is what would most likely happen if a superman appeared.
People say snyder superman is too angry or gloomy but who the fuck wouldn't if they were subject to hearing people treating them like an object and hating him?

I am going to begin a series of posts where I explain why certain abilities from across fiction would be good counters to a flood invasion from the Halo universe.
First up we have: DECAY'S EVOLVED FORM from My Hero Academia
Decay belongs to one of MHA's main antagonists Tomura Shigaraki.
The base gives him the ability to completely disintegrate anything he touches with all five of his fingertips. While that doesn't sound all that threatening it is DECAY's evolved form that allows Shigaraki's DECAY to spread from one thing to another.
Picture it like this: Shigaraki touches the ground which causes his DECAY to spread to anything and everything making contact with the ground.
In canon this ability allowed him to destroy half a city in an incredibly short amount of time with barely any effort at all.
This makes it extremely suited to fight the flood because it doesn't require direct contact with them, can destroy hundreds if not thousands of them at once, turns them into dust which prevents the spread of spores and destroys the posibility of any left over matter from the contaminating other people or natural resources.
The ability also no longer requires all 5 fingertips to activate, though reducing the number of fingers reduces its speed and range.
The only mayor downside to this ability is that the user is not inmune to its effects.
I need more of Martha and Jonathan being willing fight with nails and teeth for their son. They adore him, he is their miracle child that fell from the sky, their little star.
Being willing to do anything to protect their child, to guard his identity and heart.
I want them getting angry at seeing Clark cry over being perceived as a monster.
They own a farm, that's a great opportunity for getting creative with their protectiveness.
I want this as a fic (preferably with a dash of superbat, because they are my north star)
Meanwhile Clark is oblivious to it all, because his parents are the sweetest people ever.
