Well, I only know DCU from some of the movies, and from the Justice League and Teen Titans cartoons on Cartoon Network; and the Batman Beyond cartoon. I've read a couple of the Batman comic runs that were pulled together into graphic novels but they were SO depressing so I sort of managed to forget what happened in them... *lame*
(Gerard could totally be Nightwing! That would be cool. I've actually read a Bob-as-Batman story. It was essentially a retelling of The Dark Knight movie, which was interesting but a little *too* close to the original.
I have to admit I still like Gerard as Batman, though. *cringe* I have this weird habit of dropping characters into roles they maybe don't seem to suit, just because I like the idea, and then rewriting the roles as filtered through that characterization. Like, Batman!Gerard would definitely not be as dour and seeeeeerious as the usual Batman, but I think I'd kind of like that, actually; and it would be fun trying to translate some of the self-destructive ways Gerard has dealt with life in the past into Batman-baggage.
...also, the more I thought about it, the more I thought that I'd love to do a Justice League-ish [Cartoon Network version] sort of AU, and have Bob be The Flash and Frank be Martian Manhunter, which is granted probably the absolute opposite of what makes immediate sense. But I still would prefer it that way. Quiet, solid, steady Bob with superspeed abilities, self-esteem issues, and a reckless streak -- that would be fun. Plus it would be a great opportunity to work with Bob's quiet sense of humor. And just, Frank as a shape-shifting alien who can fly and walk through walls: he would have SO MUCH FUN. But then there could also be an underlying thread of melancholy that he hides really, really well, because he's the last of his people, and that would be interesting to incorporate into a story, you know?
...hi, I'm totally geeking out in your LJ. Woops.)
WAIT! While I'm here, can I ask for Gerard/Bob cuddling? (Or Gerard/Bob/Lyn-Z, but the meme thingy specified two characters, so I wasn't sure it would be okay to ask for a threesome.) (Of course, if you're actually contemplating Bob&Batman cuddling, never mind! Because. Bob & Batman! *nods*)
