Recounting his recent encounter with Superman…
Red Hood: So, I pulled a gun on him.
Batman: *glares*
The rest of the Batfamily: *jaw drop*
Red Hood: What? You guys know I do that from time to time.

Green Lantern: Well, what gives him the right to lead us?
The Flash: As far as his qualifications go, he’s freakin’ Batman!
Why it sometimes takes forever for Batman’s sons to finish their meals (much to Alfred’s chagrin)…
Robin: *staring at a utensil on the dining table* All of my instincts and my training are telling me to use this like a weapon.

This is me going out on a limb here and assuming that this family still takes the time to eat.
When your grandsons, in an effort to step out of their father’s shadow, get an apartment of their own…
Nightwing’s uniform: *splayed on the couch along with Dick’s hair products and smelly socks*
Red Hood’s weapons: *lying in wait for someone to accidentally trip on them*
Red Robin’s coffee: *spilled all over the dining table – which also doubles as Tim’s makeshift bed – and his laptop*
Robin’s pets: *walking in and out of the bathroom, soaking wet*
Alfred: *looking around with a deadpan-but-clearly disappointed look on his face*
Alfred: *clears his throat as he steps over a fallen garbage can on the floor*
Alfred: Who washes the dishes?
Jason: *defensively raising his hands in front of his face* Nobody washes the dishes! We eat the food directly off the coffee table and you know it!
Nightwing: I haven’t seen you for a month, B, and I’m standing here in a neck brace. You gonna ask how I’m doing or what happened or… ?
Batman: *not looking up from the Batcomputer* I assume you did something stupid.
In the Batmobile, heading home…
Batman: How long until we intercept Alfred?
Nightwing: Three minutes.
Batman: We run every red light.
Meanwhile, at the Manor…
Alfred: *preparing to make the dreaded cucumber sandwiches as a post-patrol snack *

“Hey guys are you ready to beat the shit out of me!!???”
Imagine (juuuust imagine): What really goes on between Joker and the Robins/Batboys when Batman isn’t around.
(Now, un-imagine it because Jason Todd’s getting nightmares as we speak.)
When your underage brother just wants to show you some support after you have yet another fight with your adoptive father…
Tim: So, um, do you want me to go to a bar with you and watch you drink?
Jason: No, no, that’s okay. It, uh, got a little weird last time.
Tim: We’re going to a movie. Can we have some money?
Bruce: Sure. How much?
Tim: Uh, $650 should do it.
Bruce: Okay.
Duke: ….we’ll probably need money for popcorn, too.
Bruce: Oh?
Duke: Another $50, I think?
Bruce: Wait a minute. That doesn’t sound right.
Tim: …
Duke: ….
Bruce: Movie popcorn is expensive. Better take $100 to be safe.
Bruce has no concept of money.
Let’s just say I concur.
