Batman: *turning on the Comm Link* Di –
Nightwing: *dropping down from the ceiling* Here I am, roguishly handsome and at your service. What do you need?
When your adoptive father and eldest brother question how you and Red Robin caused 5-million-dollars-worth of property damage on a simple recon mission…
