Red Robin: *crouching behind the giant coin in the Batcave*
Nightwing: *walks in*
Red Robin: *to his walkie-talkie* The Hug Machine is here. I repeat, the Hug Machine is here. Smiling on all cylinders.
The rest of the Batfamily: *temporarily stop brooding to find hiding places*

… And counting.
When asked about his daily routine…
Batman: Hn.
Batman: I go on patrol from midnight to eight, come home, sleep for five minutes, eat breakfast, sleep for six more minutes, shower, then I have ten minutes to bask in Alfred’s passive aggressive comments about my social life, then I’m off to Wayne Enterprises, fresh as a daisy.
Supervillain: *turns on light, sighs tiredly*
Batman: *sitting on a couch, his legs crossed, his fingers tented under his chin* Good morning. I’m glad you could be here.
Supervillain:
Supervillain: I live here.
Where are the manners Alfred taught you, Bruce?
Superman: *looking around the Batcave, amused* You know what your problem is? You’re a hoarder.
Batman: Yeah, a hoarder of truth.
