Imagine: Tim and Damian forced to cooperate with each other in front of Dick and Barbara.
So, I was watching “The Boss Baby”,and I thought it was FREAKIN’ ADORABLE, especially since the two main characters reminded me a lot of Timmy and Dami.
First of all, the older child’s name IS Tim (Hello!). He’s an intelligent, imaginative, gentle, and kind-hearted kid who suddenly felt stripped of love and attention (as if he’d lost his parents) when a new baby came along. This is reminiscent of what happened when Dick chose Damian over him to become Robin in the comics. Tim took it very hardly and it fueled his existing dislike for Damian even more.
Secondly, the “Boss Baby” is a business man stuck in a baby’s body. He’s wise beyond his time, but self-entitled, arrogant, and unfamiliar with how to be a child since he was “manufactured” and sent straight to work for upper management in a corporation off the bat. Damian himself was “born” in a laboratory, then raised by a domineering mother and a power-hungry grandfather for the purpose of running a vast criminal enterprise.
And, thirdly, though they initially hated each other, they were forced to cooperate with each other in order to save their family, and in the process, started to genuinely care and love one another.
Robin: *adjusting Goliath’s leash*What, Todd, for the first time ever, doesn’t want to do this?
Nightwing: *stuffing cereal packets into strategic places in his suit* No, no, he does. It’s just that he’s been so mopey.
Red Robin: *checking the coordinates of a supervillain’s lair on the Batcomputer*Well, that could have something to do with the fact that today’s his death anniversary.
Nightwing: I don’t know what it is.
Red Robin: I think that’s what it is.
Robin: -Tt- Who knows with him?
Red Robin: *looks into the camera like he’s on “The Office”*
Superman: *throws his hands up in exasperation* Thank you, @hillshollow !
Batman: Hn.
Superman: Just this morning, at breakfast, for crying out loud!*imitating Bruce’s voice* “Clark, pass the ketchup.” Tone. “Jordan, you seem to enjoy eating garbage.” Tone. “Diana –” Well, you did dial it down for that one.
Batman: *puffing out his chest and putting his hands on his hips* And this is necessary at all times?
Superman:
Superman: *eyes glowing red* ARGH! *walks out of the hall*
Superman: There’s just no winning with you, Bruce!
