The Study Of Batology by maroonio
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Justice League - All Media Types
14 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
Fanfic of another fanfic, heavily inspired by "Operation: I am Human" by StandingBi.
The Justice League believes Batman is a cryptid due to his tendency to use bird calls, hisses and grunts rather than words, odd mannerisms and other pieces of evidence that don't help Bruce's case. He struggles to clear the misunderstanding and continues making poor social decisions, which only fuels the fire.
Chap 1: Hal gets the crazy idea to flash a laser pointing during a Justice League meeting. Bruce believes a sniper has somehow broken into headquarters, and chases after the laser. Everyone gravely misinterprets the situation, believing it to be some sort of instinctual urge. It spirals into something comedic, and entirely avoidable.
+ Various instances of the JL charting Bruce’s poor social skills to an animalistic instinct.

Summary
How, exactly, do you tell the Justice League you weren’t a feral cryptid haunting Gotham?
That single, most ridiculous question had been gnawing at Bruce’s mind for the past week. He could let them believe it—he had certainly let worse rumors fester when it served his purposes—but he couldn’t. He just couldn’t.
or
The continuation of Unintentional Cryptid.
Bruce tries to clear up the small misunderstanding but every single time he interacts with the Justice League, it gets worse

Summary
“Well since you’re his son and all that, I thought you’d know about the disappearing thing he does, and the other little “I’m not human” stuff he’s prone to.”
Nightwing throws his head back and laughs.
“Oh, all about it. I joined all the way back when it was just him and Agent A, who might be even more mysterious. It was all trial and error for me, man.”
“That sounds terrifying.”
Or
On a tip from Nightwing, who they’ve all recently found out is the Bat’s eldest son, Barry starts to pay more attention to the man.
When he realizes what Nightwing is talking about, it’s a silly plotless adventure to watch this non-meta defy the laws of physics as easily as Superman or Wonder Woman, or Barry himself.

Bruce makes the Justice League believe he has two hearts and is a manifestation of Gotham’s night to throw them off his secret identity, not trusting them. When the sound system breaks, he doesn’t come clean, but lies instead that he split into two to make Robin. From there it spirals as all the Robins make the lies grow and twist it in their own ways, until the truth comes out.

Summary
Everyone assumes that Midoriya Izuku is a sweet cinnamon roll with an unhealthy amount of pain tolerance.
Bakugou Katsuki knows better, for he has seen the true monster that hides behind those awkward mutters. So when a self depreciating Midoriya asks him for advice on how to improve, Bakugou decides to wake him up.
Mirio was considered the next number 1 hero, that was before he challenged a certain first year student's class to an all out brawl.
Talk about digging your own grave.
