The Robins as…
DANCE INSTRUCTORS
Dick
- A lot of different styles, but mostly contempo or jazz
- Daily outfits range from booty shorts to harem pants
- Mind-blowing fluidity (and that he’s so easy to look at and utterly approachable is just the cherry on top)
Jason
- Capoeira (or any style that’s close to a martial art)
- Free sessions especially held for street kids (with Batburger meals on his tab if they choose to hang out afterwards)
- Encourages students to embrace their individuality in self-expression
Tim
- “I said a hip hop, hippie to the hippie, the hip, hip a hop, and you don’t stop, a rock it out”
- Co-instructs with Cass, who’ll teach ballet from time to time
- Makes sure to emphasize discipline as much as he does fun
Damian
- Traditional dances from all over the world (like the Arabian Dabke) – recital-level costumes included
- Yoga as warm-up (preferrably the one that involves goats)
- “Water breaks are for the weak”

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!
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.
Red Hood: We’re trying to piece together a night and we need your help.
“Ric” Grayson: I don’t remember that night.
Red Robin: We didn’t tell you which night yet.
“Ric”: *shrugs* I don’t remember most evenings.
Robin: *exasperated sigh*
Nightwing [on the Comm Link]: *on his motorcycle, tailing them* Did you two just push Tim out of the moving Batmobile and yell, “You’re out of the team”?!
Red Hood: Now, in hindsight, that does seem kind of rash.
Robin: *pulling into a Batburger drive-through* It was kind of a snap decision.
Discussing your tiny bully of a brother be like…
Jason: Gee, ya think? I mean, I’ve only seen him give you, like, a hundred eye rolls.
Tim: *throws hands up in exasperation* Thank you! I know! It’s like, “Hi, would you like some butter with your eye rolls?”.
Jason: I know! It’s like, “Don’t fill up on eye rolls, Little Brat. Save room for dinner!”.
Damian: *a pair of glinting eyes in the shadows*

Oh, you two are really gonna get it bad this time.
When you discover that an online quiz about your vigilante family has gone viral among Gothamites…
Tim: The last time I took it, I was a Batman.
Damian: What?! No, no, no, no! Take it again, Drake! Ugh, I have to go recalibrate that stupid quiz!
“Battle for the Cowl”, behind the scenes?
Damian: *walks away after insulting Jason*
Jason: He’s a mean kid.
Tim: So, what? You’re mean, too.
Jason: Yes, but not to you!
Tim: Yesterday you told me my head was too big for my neck.
Jason: That was… constructive criticism.
Tim: Well, what am I supposed to do about it, Jay?!
Jason: As a brother, my job is only to point things out.
