Ok, so you know how Jason looks like he's around 19-20 when he returns, but was dead for like a year before beign resurrected by the pit?
The pit, tecnically talking, makes you younger (apart from stronger and has a healing and reviving factor), Ra's Al Ghul usually uses it for this, to be younger and stronger and to heal injuries,.
So, what if, other than reviving and healing, Jason became younger than when he died when being revived by the pit? It would make his young appearance have more sense
Even more because Dick and Jason have like a 4-5 year old age difference, and when jason return Dick is like in his late 20s (25-30) so Jason should look like he's more than 20years old, but his looks his way younger, so maybe when he was revived the pit made him younger.
I just finished Gotham (the series) and I fucking hated it
Let me explain...
The first season was good, it showed penguin origin, how he started becoming a villain entangled with the Gotham mafia and all, how GCPD was corrupted through the core and all of that, it even showed villain characters in their pre-villain like Edward Nygma (the Riddler) and others...
But then, the seacon season came and they inteoduced Mr Freeze (my favorite villain), at the start of the small arc it was good, they showed why he was doing crime, his experiments, his moral and all... and his wife, the wife that in the canon stays alive, even if in ice, because of her illnesses, right?
Well, iin Gotham, for some reason, they decided to kill her, and that's when everything went down. The series continues for a total of 5 seasons
Don't get me wrong, they didn't ruin every villain (like my poor Mr Freeze) but like a good half of it, but some stayed good, or at least decently good, like: Penguin, The Riddler, Firefly, Scarecrow, The Mad Hatter (in some way), Joker (for a half, because at the start was good, then ruined it, then in the last episode made it good again) Others... well... Not so much, they even killed a bunch that appear in the Batman canon.
But in all off this mess, the last episode of the last season (so the episode where Batman kinda of appears) was good, not really good, but good. They tried to close and open some storylines, but still the end was good.
And just to say, they Killed Ra's Al Ghul (not once but twice), and used Nyssa Raatko (and called her Nyssa Al Ghul and proclaimed sole heir, so she's an only child?) and not Talia Al Ghul, just to say.
So would I suggest to watch the series? Nah, not really, if you want to explore a little but of the villain backgrounds, especially Penguin and the Riddler, then yeah, you'll maybe like it, but for the rest? Nah.
But this is just my opinion, do what you want with it.

I need some batman fic rec about a kind of general propt:
Batman isn't in the justice league, and they want to invite him in it, that's it, I found like only one fic about it, but batman and the birds were like unded... I was searching for one with like a normal batman, but that didn't join the justice league and I couldn't find any, so I'm asking you people
No one is asking "Why would Bruce Wayne be in a Lexcorp meeting", but I have the answer
Bruce has bought enough stocks of the Lexcorp to be there, and he did for 3 main reasons
He just wants to annoy Lex
He's trying to take from the inside/spy the Lexcorp
JL things like trying to stop Lex from doing bad things by annoying him and making his life difficult
the second one is problably for the most trying to make the Lexcorp a better corporation and trying to kick out Lex and then integrating the Lexcorp under the WE to make it an actual good company
And Tim is just there to have fun and keep Brucie Wayne farcade up, probably
Bruce and Tim: *sitting in a LexCorp meeting*
Lex: Alright everybody, thanks for jumping on this all hands.
Lex: *sees Tim*
Lex: Who is this?
Bruce: Oh, this is my corporate translator. He's here to translate all the corporate jargon into words that I can actually understand.
Lex: Uhh alright. I'm gonna have to align with HR to see if this is—
Bruce, to Tim: What's he saying?
Tim: He's saying he's upset by my presence.
Lex: I'm not upset, okay? I'm simply processing this information into a more digestible way.
Tim: Oh yeah, he's really upset.
Lex: Okay, let's just move forward with the meeting, shall we? So Q1 is in the books and we had a very strong showing. Now, there are certainly some gaps within our processes that we're working strategically in order to align that should help us bridge those gaps in a really efficient way.
Bruce: Translator?
Tim: Q1 wasn't good and management is very upset about it.
Lex: That's not what I said, okay? There are certainly some gaps, but management is working lockstep in order to come up with strategic processes in order to alleviate these areas of deficiency.
Tim: They're planning layoffs.
Lex: No. No. That— I'm not saying that, okay? We're just developing ways to become a much leaner organization.
Tim: It's gonna be twenty-five percent of the organization.
Lex: No!
You know how Kon-El/Conner Kent is the Clone/Child of Superman and Lex Luthor, no?
Well, I was searching for fics where Cadmus used Batman/Bruce Wayne (depending on how they obtained it) DNA and not Lex one.
For now I found like only one that is omegaverse but I'm waiting for it to update, so I was searching for more
It can be SuperBat or not, I don't really mind, I just want to find more fics with this concept
and about the children and in general batfam?
well... idk, like for the most of them idk, I have some ideas about Tim, Jason, Damian and maybe Cass, but for the rest... no idea
Tim: omega, because it would make sense that Janet and Jake were like betas or alphas and when tim turned out to be a omega (with like some kind of blood test that said the gender before it manifested or something like that) were dissapointed about it and started ignoring him Damian: alpha, no need to explain why, Talia was an alpha like her father so Damian is too. how he was concieved and born? well... that's a bit more complicated, like if we want him to grew like an assassin there can be two ways: 1) Artificial womb, like Talia stole some DNA or Bruce egg and used an artificial womb or a surrogate to have the child 2) Trauma, I mean, Talia probably stole Damian from Bruce when he was born and told him the child died for a complication or another then we have the Damian didn't go to the league and bruce birthed and protected him.
Jason: pre Lazarous pit he was a beta, post Lazarous pit he became an alpha, probably for some magic of the pit, maybe even Ra's Al Gul was a beta before he used the pit the first time. Or, no change in the pit, Jason is an omega, one of this two options, that's it
Cass: maybe she's an alpha, or a beta, idk because the thing is her smell, she could use blockers, or her father removed the glands maybe.... idk but for sure not an omega. even tough she's the sweetest.
Batman in an omegaverse always should be an alpha or at least someone without a smell , but not Bruce Wayne, he should be an omega, so hear me out:
Bruce Wayne by the public is considered to be a Homeboy (probably, idk the correct term, I'm italian), he's all smiley, a guy that continiusly adopts (apparently) random orphans, who is known for sleeping around a lot, at least befor Dick was adopted, the person that if you even go near his children will go crazy to protect them; kinda of boneless, who dosen't really works at his own company, basically Brucie Wayne (in the public eye, then in reality we all know the normal Bruce Wayne out of galas is not like that), an omega.
But Batman?
Batman is perceived as a menace for goons and villain, the darkness of Gotham, its protector, so an alpha, or at least what people think he is; probably he uses blocker so he smells like nothing or like an alpha.
and all of this makes even more sense because since the start bruce tried to separete the 2 personas (even in the canon) to protect his identity, so they're complete opposite, could ever Brucie Wayne be Batman? ptf NO, that's the point, so having a omega Brucie and an alpha Batman makes way more sense than having an alpha Bruce Wayne

Yes, but, consider this, Clark can still recognize people eye color, hair color and texture, just not the exact face features.
Batman has a differnt smell than Bruce, maybe because Batman suit it's difficult to clean so its exernal armor kinda smells like blood or Gotham streets and is washed like once a month and it gets dirty again the same night, and Alfred usually cleans like weekly the internal part of the suit. Bruce on the other hand usually smells nice, like the smell of the shampoo or some cologne and the armor blocks the smell of the soap he usually uses.
Plus the clow of the suit has white eyes and the hair is covered, in all of this Clark dosen't know that Batman and Bruce are the same person.
But one day, maybe because Bruce showered in the watchtower with the same soap he usually uses or the suit was just cleaned and still didn't go on patrol before the meeting on the watchtower, Clark recognizes the smell and just as an instict calls Batman Bruce (before the meeting room is full there are like 2 other people, J'onn and Diana, that alredy knows Bruce identity for one reason or another) and right there Clark realize that Batman, is Bruce Wayne
I love identity reveal fanfics, I will never get tired of them, but I would love to see some new spins like; Clark Kent actually has face blindness, yeah turns out Kryptonians use the sense of smell or something. I just think it would be remarkably entertaining to Face-revealed Batman to be having his Dramatic Moment. And Superman is just : ) hello friend <3 absolutely clueless
At a certain point SuperBrentMan where Bruce is Superman and Clark is Batman starts to become more common, and more accurate...
Bruce starts to noticing it, and with some investigation finds that is usually the same 3-4 accounts that make the more accurate, on a personal level, fics
In the mean time that bruce starts to go crazy because he can't find the identity behind those account: Lois, Jason, Barbara and sometime Tim with Kon formed a "SuperBrentMan fic club" and they are the ones behind those 4 accounts that make the accurate fics, and they love it
At some point Clark finds the fic Lois was working on because she forgot to close the file when she asked Clark to proofread an article she was working on, and luckly for Bruce, Clark made them reveal the truth and that their secret identity was safe
It is widely known in fandom spaces that Gotham is heavily split between the SuperBat shippers and the BruceMan shipper
It's an all out ship-war, the two sides vehemently hate and bash each other online
One day someone proposes the obvious: a poly ship
SuperBruceMan becomes one of the biggest ships in the Gotham real-people shipping community
And then Bruce Wayne ruins everything, by publicly dating nobody-reporter Clark Kent
This spawns a third faction (the Brent shippers), and the magic of poly ships are forgotten
Until someone (yet again) proposes polyamory, and SuperBrentMan is born
Identity shenanigans quickly becomes a SuperBrentMan staple, as the ship is made up of two civilians and two unknown vigilantes/superheroes
And thus, the first SuperBrentMan miraculous square fic is born
The utterly charming but ditzy Bruce Wayne must find a way to tell the life of his life, Clark Kent, of his secret identity as an alien superhero, while Clark Kent tries to come clean about being Gotham's dark knight
The real Clark and Bruce are just thankful that the shippers got the identities switched
