damian wayne: father, may I go outside and play?

bruce wayne: play? in this weather? with all that blue sky and sunshine?

Bruce: *still in his Batman suit, having just arrived from patrol, hissing as Alfred draws the kitchen curtains to let the sunshine in* Are you sure you’re up for it, son?

Damian: Jon’s waiting for me outside. He’s flying me to Metropolis.

Bruce: *fumbling with his utility belt* Here, bring some of this suncreen that just came out of R&D. There’s something about the sunshine in that place, might explain why Clark’s getting stronger. While you’re there, perhaps you could collect some solar energy –

Damian: *slamming the door as he exits the Manor* Byyyye, Father!

This reminds me of that spread in a Superman/Batman issue where Clark takes over for Bruce in Gotham while the latter is conducting an investigation in Metropolis and we’re given an insight into what they really think of each other’s city. And it’s almost as if Batman is horrified by how bright and smog-free Metropolis is. I love that spread.
