starsandseaTitle: Why you should never dress up as Batman...
Pairing/Characters: Superman/Batman, Brandon Routh
Rating: PGish
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Author's Note: It's... crazy. It's also supposed to by funny... Inspired from the knowledge that Brandon Routh once dressed up as Batman for Halloween. Here's a pic... Brandon Routh as Batman. Also unbetaed, so point and I shall correct.
Batman glared at Superman the second he touched down on the rooftop next to him. Kal spoke before Batman could.
"Yes. I know. I won't be staying in 'your city' for long, I promise." Batman was still glaring at him. "What?" Kal eventually demanded, after it seemed that Batman would glare at him indefinitely.
Wordlessly, Batman pointed at the skylight they were standing next to. Kal looked down. It looked like there was a costume party being held. He recognized a few faces, but nothing except the normal things that happened at parties seemed to be going on. Kal returned his gaze to Batman.
"What, people aren't allowed to have fun in Gotham now?" Batman scowled slightly and pointed at the skylight again. Kal rolled his eyes. "Would it kill you to talk to me?"
Batman's scowl intensified. "Look," he finally said.
Kal rolled his eyes again, but did what Batman said. Same as before, people having a good time... wait. Was that who he thought it was...? Kal looked closer. It was. Brandon Routh, the actor who portrayed him in those films.
Dressed in a Batman costume.
Kal cleared his throat slightly. "Well, it looks like you've got a fan, Bruce." Batman scowled at him again. If he did that anymore, his face would get permanently stuck like that, he thought. "Oh, come on Bruce!"
"He could have come as someone else."
"Who?"
Batman shifted slightly. " I don't know! The Hulk?"
Kal stared. "The Hulk's green, Bruce."
"So?"
Kal rolled his eyes, "It's just a costume, Bruce. He's probably excited about the possibility of doing a film with the actor who portrays you. You know, the 'World's Finest' film."
"I'm a urban legend. I shouldn't have films about me." Batman was glowering at him now.
"Right." Now didn't seem like the best time to mention the Bat-signal. "What are you doing here anyway? No one's going to think he's you."
Batman opened his mouth to reply when there was a sudden commotion in the room below them. They both looked down to see Talia throw her arms about Brandon, kiss him sloppily and call him 'beloved'. Kal blinked. So did Brandon. Batman stoked his chin thoughtfully.
"You know, there may be advantages to people going around dressed like me after all."
Kal turned, and looked at him . Below them, security guards were forcibly removing Talia from Brandon. She was screaming. Brandon was cringing. Kal looked between the scene below and Batman. This was why he didn't like coming to Gotham. Crazy things always happened here. Give him Metropolis with her supervillians and dimensional rifts any day...
Batman turned and walked away. "Well, there's no reason for me to stay here anymore." Kal blinked at him. Batman stood at the edge of the building then turned and looked at him, annoyed. "Come on," he growled.
"What?" Talia's screams could be heard plainly now as she was forced into police custody.
"Aren't you going to show me what you look like dressed as me?"
Kal smirked. "Only if you dress like me." Batman returned his smirk, then jumped off the building, heading in the direction of Wayne Manor. Kal shook his head before following him. Yes, Gotham was crazy. But if it meant he could see Bruce dressed up like him, and then have his way with him... well, Gotham wasn't all bad.

Date: 2007-07-26 08:43 pm (UTC)The thought of heroes debating about people dressing up like them is hilarious to begin with, but to throw Brandon into the mix just added that sweet, sweet level of insanity that made it all completely worthwhile.
You know, now you have to write Bruce dressing up as Supes for Clark. ^_~ Hehehehe....

*stares*

*mutters at her muses*
I'll see... LOL. ;)
Thank you for commenting! I'm glad you liked it.

Date: 2007-07-27 01:29 am (UTC)I still want to know why he's wearing a hat and jacket over his Batman costume.
Um. Anyway...
"I'm a urban legend. I shouldn't have films about me."
*giggles*
"Aren't you going to show me what you look like dressed as me?"
Kal smirked. "Only if you dress like me."
And then they both decided to see what they would look like dressed as Wonder Woman...
This was really cute and funny! Thank you for writing!

Date: 2007-07-27 07:26 pm (UTC)Maybe he's trying to protect his secret identity? LOL
And then they both decided to see what they would look like dressed as Wonder Woman...
*snorts* I wonder what Diana would think. Pun not intended. ;)
Thank you for commenting! I'm glad you liked the crazy fic!

Date: 2007-07-27 12:01 pm (UTC)*grins madly* I have this image of whole conversations where Kal talks and Bruce scowls or points or grunts now.
Batman shifted slightly. " I don't know! The Hulk?"
Imagining Brandon as the Hulk has made my day. Not only is he green, he weighs about 500 pounds more than Brandon. :)
Yes, Gotham was crazy. But if it meant he could see Bruce dressed up like him, and then have his way with him... well, Gotham wasn't all bad.
No indeed! *more grinning*
This made my night!

Oh, I know! I think Kal didn't mention that to Bruce for fear that he would show him something else that's green... LOL
I'm really glad you liked this crazy little fic. :) Thank you for commenting!

Date: 2007-07-30 12:24 am (UTC)"Would it kill you to talk to me?"
LOL. C'mon, Kal, he's your lover ... you don't need words to communicate, do you? ;p
If he did that anymore, his face would get permanently stuck like that, he thought.
*giggles madly* Bruce is going to have some mighty-impressive frown lines when he gets older.
Oh, god, and poor Brandon being accosted by Talia! *cringes on his behalf* At least this frees up Bruce to play dress-up with Clark. *waggles eyebrows*
Kal smirked. "Only if you dress like me."
Has Bruce ever dressed up as Superman in canon? I don't think I've ever seen it ... it's about time he reciprocated with the cos-play though. ;p
Anyway, thanks for sharing this! It filled me with glee. XD

If it means Bruce can play dress up with Clark, then I'm willing to do almost anything to Brandon. Even sticking Talia on him. ;)

I believe that I once saw scans of Bruce and Clark switching bodies... I remember Bruce talking to Oracle about how it felt in Clark's body... lol. I know Bruce has dressed up as Clark... but that doesn't have the same appeal. ;)
I'm glad you liked the crazy fic! :)

Date: 2007-07-31 04:21 am (UTC)Also, yum! Clark as Batman and Bruce as Superman.. that's a delicious visual :)
This was why he didn't like coming to Gotham. Crazy things always happened here. Give him Metropolis with her supervillians and dimensional rifts any day...
I love that line! It's not that Batman is all 'This is my city!', it's that Gotham irritates Clark X) I love how he prefers the dimensional rifts! LOL, Metropolis is really dangerous too, just in a different way. I loved how you made the boys so clearly the heroes of their respective cities :)
So, we need a ninja mission to get secret pictures of Ruth in Batman's costume...

Also, yum! Clark as Batman and Bruce as Superman.. that's a delicious visual :)
Ohhhh, I know. :D

LOL, yes, it's Gotham! Not Batman. Or at least that's what Clark wants you to think, lol. ;) I was thinking of that comic... I think it's from the World's Finest AU thing from a few years ago, spanning 10 years over the anniversary of someone called Grey's (Gray's? lol) death, and Bruce and Clark spend half a night in Gotham and Metropolis... it's really interesting seeing the difference in crime in Gotham and crime in Metropolis...
There must be more pics of him as Batman! Bale as Superman... LOL
Anyway, I'm glad you liked the crazy fic, Mina, and welcome back! *hugs again*

Date: 2007-07-31 04:30 am (UTC)The Bruce/Clark dynamic here was so much fun. Haha, and screaming Talia.
Very fun and cute.
Oh and I have to agree with saavikam77, if you have time and the muse allows, I'd love to see you write Bruce dressing as Superman for Clark. :)
