The thing about The LEGO Batman Movie (2017) is that it really is a satire of its comic book counterpart. It simplifies (and humorously so) a lot of deep canon concepts in the Batman universe that fans who intimately know the Batfamily can relate to and those who aren’t yet can appreciate nonetheless.

I mean, even this little scene right here? Robin being put on “time out” for disobeying Batman’s orders? And Dick being an enthusiastic Boy Wonder who’s grateful to Bruce for being a friend/father figure regardless of the drama that surrounds them? I think it playfully sums up much of their dynamic.
