Family Patrol Night…

While grapple-hooking from skyscraper to skyscraper…

Robin: Can I go back to Superman’s farm tomorrow?

Batman: Why?

Robin: I want to hang out with Jon.

Batman: What, all of a sudden your father’s not good enough for you?

Robin: …

Robin: It’s not “all of a sudden”.

You know what I love?

The four main Robins having very different origin stories, antagonizing each other (almost to literal death) at one point or another, then eventually uniting because of their deep sense of love for and loyalty to Bruce, their mission to save as many innocent lives as they can, and, of course, to each other (whether they admit it or not).

They have so little and so much in common that it makes for such an interesting dynamic every time they share panels. (Regardless of how “horrible” the writing seems.)

I, um, think about this a lot.

When your teenaged brother starts dating…

Damian: These are for you.

Damian: *hands Nell a bouquet of roses*

Nell: *blushing* You didn’t have to do that.

Damian: Really? My brother said I did.

Dick [on the Comm Link with Damian]: *groans*

During Damian’s first days at the Manor…

Dick: *watching Damian spar with electronically generated villains in the Batcave*

Dick: He’s really something.

Tim: Oh, yeah. He’s really something. The question is what.

Timothy Drake is not impressed.

And the “Big Brother of the Year” Award goes to…

Jason: Hey, buddy, how’ve you been?

Damian: Life stinks.

Jason: *grins and pats him on the back* Cheer up! You’re still a kid.

Jason: It gets much worse. *winks*

Dick: *cuddling a febrile Damian*

Dick: He’s just going to sleep anyway, and I’ll keep an eye on him, so you can go.

Jason: I don’t know. It doesn’t feel right just abandoning the brat when he’s sick.

Dick: *grins* Congratulations. Now you know what it feels like to be a parent.

Jason: Yeah. How inconvenient.

Because it’s canon that Dick and Damian have a semi-paternal bond (and that Jason cares about his brothers).
