Vlogs about mundane, day-to-day stuff, like his frustration with chafing in a full bodysuit or what it’s like growing up in a huge family
Replies to comments on his videos once in a while, which makes him even more endearing to his followers
Titans, in civilian wear, coming in and out of view (Wally: *yelling from the kitchen* D, you still gonna eat this?)
Jason:
Weapons – care, reviews, “Top 10” lists, demos
Witness protection-level of facial blurring and vocal disguise, and a disclaimer at the beginning of each video to discourage the young’uns from watching his stuff
“Gotta go” *abruptly shuts the camera off as Bruce’s shadow enters the frame*
Tim:
Life hacks, conspiracy theories, reviews of obscure music albums, meme meta-analyses
Videos uploaded during the wee hours of the morning (with him sometimes forgetting that he’s still wearing his blood-soaked uniform that’s tattered to the point of being unrecognizable)
“Thank you for attending my TED Talk” *finger guns, winks*
Damian:
Meditation techniques, wildlife conservation discussions (guest-starring Selina and his pets)
Leadership “seminars” with Jon (who’s constantly rolling his eyes or snickering), sparring sessions with Duke and his Batsisters, baking tutorials with Alfred
“Father, I need your opinion on – Father! Wait, don’t – Come back – BRUCE –”
Damian: *angrily elbowing Jason while struggling to hold onto his PS4 controller* Todd, will you QUIT IT –
Jason: *playfully elbowing him back and smirking* I don’t get why you’re all pissy when you should be thanking me that I even let you join my channel –
Tim: *tinkering with an old school Nintendo console and upgrading it with Wayne Tech parts* Well, excuse you, but Duke set this channel up –
Dick: *waving to the camera* Over here, guys! Look over here –

If you’re familiar with this tag o’ mine, I’m open to suggestions (as part of my celebrating the New Year with you guys).
I love imagining the Bat-sons in the most mundane, day-to-day, slice-of-life scenarios – think pet owners, gym rats, dance instructors, etc.
I can’t promise I’ll get around to every suggestion, but we’ll see.
P.S. The reason I’ve only been writing these for Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian is because they’re the ones I feel closest to. Apart from Bruce, they’re the ones I’m more well-aquainted with, so.
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.
