Batman: *gets off the phone with Commissioner Gordon (something about one of the Robins and a warehouse near Gotham Harbor exploding or something… ?)*

Red Hood: *opens his mouth to speak*

Batman: *narrows his eyes*

Red Hood: And thaaat’s a cross between your angry face and your “stop talking” face, the second of which I’m more familiar with.

An Incorrect Interview with the Batfamily…

Batman: I have it on good authority that you’ve been posting these, quote-unquote, incorrect quotes about our family on this so-called… *narrows his eyes* Tumblr.

Me: *blinks*

Me: *shuddering slightly* Well, see, Mr. Batman, um,Sir Wayne, uh, Batwayne –

Nightwing: *gets up from his chair and hugs me tightly*

Me: Oh! Oh, okay. Wow. Thanks? So, um, do you have a question or… ?

Nightwing: *shakes his head and grins at me* I just wanted to lighten the mood. You know how our father tends to blur the line between an interview and an interrog–

Red Hood: *clears his throat loudly*

Red Hood: Why, um… Why the heck do you call me *reading something scribbled on his palm* “Big Brother of the Year”?

Me: Well, see, Jay, even though you see yourself as the “black sheep” of the family, I do believe that there’s some goodness in your heart and that you do care very much about them. I think Croc said it best: you’re a good kid trying to be bad, and – Are you okay?

Red Hood’s Helmet: – bZzt bzZt –

Me: Your helmet’s… There’s smoke coming out of your –

Red Hood: *gets up from his seat and speed-walks out of the room*

Me: Did I say something wrong?

Red Robin: No. His tears must’ve fried the circuits in his helmet. Anyway, is this where you live? *shows me a map on his tablet with coordinates to my residence*

Me: *wide-eyed* How’d you – ?

Red Robin: Don’t worry about it. Now, my real question is, is there a lot of coffee where you’re from?

Me: Well –

Red Robin: Like really strong cofee? *zooming in and out of the map* For some reason, I can’t get intel –

Robin: *shoves Tim out of the way*

Robin: Pretender! Where do you get the nerve –

Me: – to make you look adorable? Look, Dami, I can’t help it –

Black Bat: *grapple-hooks into the room and grabs me*

Spoiler: Alright, creeps, that’s enough blogger harrassment for today!

Batgirl: *whispering into my ear* I’m so sorry you had to go through this.

Alfred: *walks into the room*

Room: *falls silent*

Alfred: No dessert for all of you.

Everyone (including Bruce): *whines*

Alfred: As for you *looks at me*…

Me: *blinks*

Alfred: … we would appreciate it if you joined us for dinner. *walks out of the room with Batcow and Titus in tow*

The Signal: *turns off the camera and runs after Alfred* But I was just filming everything, I swear!

Catwoman: *comes in through the kitchen window* Meow. Did I miss the interview?

When you’re back in Gotham City after, y’know, dying and all and you come across some of your father’s frienemies…

Red Hood: *bound and gagged with vines*

Poison Ivy: *unmasks him* Doesn’t he look like Batman’s dead kid?

Catwoman: He looks exactly like that dead boy.

Harley Quinn: *stares dreamily at Jason* You should take that as a compliment, Red, because he was handsome.

Trying to avoid your father around the Manor be like…

Jason: *palpates a spot on the wall, then places his ear against it*

Dick: You know, you’re gonna have to see Bruce eventually.

Jason: No, I don’t, ‘cause I know the layout to the air-duct system here like the back of my hand

Batman: You know what they say about your first instincts.

The Signal: Yeah. You should always stick with them. Shouldn’t you?

Batman: Should you?

The Signal: Should I?

Batman: “Should I?” Hn. You’ll have plenty of time to think about it on the bench, because that’s where you’re headed.

Red Hood: *slams the Manor door shut*

Arsenal: So, you finally stood up to your father?

Red Hood: *sighs* Yep.

Arsenal: And he cut you off? No money, no nothing?

Red Hood: *lights a cigarette and takes a drag* Pretty much.

Arsenal: Jerk.
