Villains in Addams Family movies go to really unnecessary lengths to defraud them of the family fortune. These people just give it away on whims all the time. If I just walked into the house and started wearing their clothes and spending their money, they wold start introducing me as Cousin Intruder and forget there was ever a time I didn’t live with them.
Somehow, I'm Imagining that Clockwork is Danny's 'ghost parent's or close enough that it makes misunderstanding worse. Like clearly, eating problems always is hereditary.
When the ghost, Phantom joins the Justice League he's a real boon. His range and strength of powers are unmatched. Casualties, injuries, even length of time taken to complete battles comes all the way down.
One day his colleagues ask about his fights where he's lost. Kind of morbidly they want to know, what kind of beings could threaten their most powerful member. What was out there and dangerous enough to really threaten the being that made Darkseid cry. Batman wants to know because he's not happy with his threat assessment or contingency plans for a creature that has admitted to being able to crack their planet like an egg.
Danny tells them about his earlier fights, several of them. He edits the stories thoroughly to obscure his own identity, the fact that he's human sometimes, and that his friends had to help him (protecting their identities most effectively by denying their existence). Danny finds that the gimmicks of his rogues makes his audience laugh. So, he gets swept up and maybe tells a few more stories than intended.
And at the end of each story, he'd explain what he learned from being bested by that enemy. Then how he used what he learned to get them next time before their evil plan could be completed.
"And it was soup time for Skulker!" "And I souped her!"
It was a little unsettling to be honest, but they figured it was a translation issue from Ghost to English or something with his accent. He probably wasn't saying soup.
Then, next week there is a battle against another ghost. Danny will tell them later that an Ancient went rogue, though they have no idea why this eyeball is trying to kill everyone. They get to see Danny actually working hard against a foe. Though, they're all unconscious by the end of the fight.
During the debrief a few days later they notice Danny with a weird accessory. A thermos.
"What you got there buddy?" "You know the eyeball was causing trouble! I had to make soup out of him. For punishment."
Danny wasn't letting this lunatic out for at least a fortnight.
Batman updates his threat assessment with Superman's troubled blessing.
Phantom's extraordinary abilities - above those of other ghosts - seems to be derived from his cannibalistic tendencies.
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
Somehow I imagine it to turn into a Liminal city. A city that migrates, no fixed point or location but always in a place that seems to makes sense that there's a city there.
Like somewhere across a long highway there's a gas station with welcome to amity ville sign, you don't think much about it. It seems a bit off, the people seem a little off, but you're just here for gas. No need to think why you think there's something off with the cashier, at least they don't have anything strange at a first glance. It's probably because you vaguely don't remember a city in this route but then again, it's a boring and seemingly generic town. You've probably just forgotten, you don't need to pay attention to these small towns to get to one megacity to another. Just get to the next county/city, but somewhere in the next county you see the same gas station but with a motel near by, a welcome to amity sign. you've sworn you had passed by before but you don't remember seeing a motel, it's probably just something similar enough to give deja vu but it's not the same isn't it. You hear the truckers in your next stop about the city that only appears during certain times and at specific day, on certain highways. One swore he got flack for late delivery because he slept at the motel only to find that the next morning he's driving on the road to Arizona instead, when he turned around the damned city was gone.
The world is dying.
The GIW shot a nuke into the Ghost Zone, and now the world is paying for it.
Amity, however, is lasting the longest due to already being contaminated with Ecto.
Dash has an insanely dumb idea to save it.
Danny is just desperate enough to try it.
He manages to use a horrifying amalgamation of tech, time amulets, and magic bullshittery to actually move the city of Amity Park to a different dimension.
It, the entire city, has just crash landed (upright but crooked) a few miles down the road from Smallville.
I don't know if I'm misremembering things or if it's because I've read too many fanfic that I'm not sure if it's canon, but Bruce's dad was a doctor too, if I remember correctly. It's like a nice parallel.
Bruce's trauma is caused by violence he was helpless to do anything about so fights in response. Damian, on the other hand, fights because it's all he knows, as an Al Ghul, as Son of the Bat, a legacy of warriors, assassin. But Damian chooses for Damian for the first time, and that's for Damian to lay down his weapon. He no longer has to fight, that finally he is safe and secure enough to know that regardless, Bruce Will love him unconditionally. Dick CHOSE to became Robin then Nightwing, Jason Chose to be Robin then decided to be Red Hood, Tim Blackmailed his way to be Robin and Stubbornly held Red Robin.... But Damian was RAISED in a cult believing he HAS to be worthy of being the HEIR, either as an Al Ghul or Son of the Bat. He NEVER chose this life and only knows how to fight, to Be a Weapon. Bruce didn't want kids to fight, it's the kids who chose to fight and HAS a personal reason to fight. But not Damian, other than he was BORN for it, that it Was raised to think EXPECTED of him. I think it's beautiful to be honest.
He doesn't even have to stop being a hero. I'd imagine him being a Doctor first, hero second. Probably the go to for alien Bioweapon attacks, sick Alien or Meta's from accidents and shit. A medical professional for JL and someone to replace the old lady doctor. Imagine stopping a villain and curing him or he cannot fully fix, makes it manageable. God knows there's a lot of runaway science experiments villain in DC or villains like Dr. Freeze that needs medical assistance. New fancy drugs, plagues or toxins to cure and trace where it's coming from, kinda like treating the symptoms then eliminate the root cause(stopping the villain), just Damian getting his OWN theme not one he INHERITED.
Ok Damian doctor AU ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Continuing on a bit from this post:
Tim, complaining about Bruce grounding him again: It doesn’t even make sense! It’s like everything I do is a problem now but I’m not doing anything different!
Kon, who thinks a grounding is when you get sent outside to do yard work: Have you tried digging a hole? Like a lot of holes.
Bart, whose punishments are typically doing chores without powers: Or raking leaves?
Cassie, who knows exactly why Tim keeps getting in trouble: … Does Bruce know you’re at Titan Tower?
Tim: No, why?
Cassie: No reason.
***Later that day***
Jason: Why is Tim digging a grave in the front yard?
Dick: He got grounded again.
Jason: So… is it for him or Bruce?
Dick: Not sure yet.
Danny escapes from his home dimension because of *insert your reason of choice here* and is dropped off in Bludhaven. He latches onto the first vigilante he sees which subsequently is Nightwing. Danny haunts Dick, watches out for him because he’s a bird with a broken wing who seems to be hell bent on going down.
It’s kinda an Angel on your shoulder vs. the Devil (hallucinations of your dead little brother) type situation.Meanwhile Dick is confused why he’s hallucinating a version of his little brother with green eyes and white hair (Danny is his home dimensions Jason). After Danny discovers that Dick thinks he's a hallucination he tries to just not but then Dick gets worse without his words of encouragement. It’s a very precarious situation.
now, I'm imagining that Amander Waller is In fact related to Walker instead. Like not a Kryptonian, just descended from him. It's possible that's why Jor-El knew earth was safe because at some point someone ended up there while pursuing an escaped prisoner of sorts, before the destruction of Krypton
Look, Danny knows not all of the ghosts from the Zone are human, ok?
Skulker is an alien, Wulf is from another dimension, and Frostbite's ancestral world don't even have planets.
You can meet any ghost from any world and any time period, it's only one of the infinite weird things about the Realms.
So it wasn't a big deal when Danny asked Walker to teach him his mother tongue. Just an attempt to reduce the communication error with the guy, and maybe an effort to get to know his Zone neighbors better.
Generic ghost speak can only get them so far after all.
And ok, Danny wasn't expecting to get actual language books and fucking homeworks from the warden, but whatever. Walker is stuffy like that. It's actually pretty sweet of him to give Danny all of these materials, and Danny can appreciate that.
It might have, unfortunately, slipped Danny's mind to ask more about Walker's origins. Although to be fair, learning an alien language wouldn't be a problem normally, it shouldn't be.
If not for that cursed Fenton luck.
How in the realms is Danny supposed to know Walker is Kryptonian??? Walker acts nothing like Superman, how is Danny supposed to connect the two dots?!
Shit, how do he even start to explain this when Superman is knocking on his dorm window??
I am positively feral of the idea that John Constantine is an ex of both Maddie and Jack Fenton. Imagine the possibilities. They’re endless.
