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”

REALITY TV SHOW STARS

Dick

  • DC Universe’s Got Talent (America’s Got Talent), as host, contestant, and eventual winner – because judges from the Fifth Dimension could no longer stand watching a human with such inhuman flexibility
  • Gothamite Ninja Warrior (American Ninja Warrior), where it’s usually just Cass and him battling it out for the top spot and the “obstacle course” includes parkouring to the top of crumbling gargoyles and jumping off twenty-story buildings sans parachute  

Jason

  • Alfred & J’s Potluck Dinner (Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner), where Alfred’s “Martha” and he’s “Snoop” and they host get-togethers for heroes and villains in the Manor kitchen
  • Hood vs. Lair (Man vs. Wild), but instead of surviving in the wild, he’s trying to get past security in a new supervillain’s hideout week after week (guest-starring Roy)

Tim

  • BatFuzz Unsolved (BuzzFeed Unsolved), where he discusses controversial cases, such as the mysterious zombie-turned-vigilante wearing a red helmet, with his best bud and resident skeptic, Conner
  • Myth Boosters (Myth Busters), where he dispels/proves popular theories using the latest and most expensive Wayne Tech gadgets (and Bruce is a mere centimeter away from buying the TV network just to cancel this show)

Damian

  • Gotham’s Dumbest Videos (America’s Funniest Videos), which features clips of his siblings’ blunders during patrol (and him cackling in the background after he introduces each one)
  • Crikey! It’s the Irwins, and he’s actually with the Irwins (until his father reminds him to “Get. Back. To. Your Earth. Now.”)

Not sure if I did it justice, but I really liked this suggestion, @fleetof-fandoms, so thanks!

Feeling inspired (but admittedly slow to get to the actual work of responding and writing)… But open to more “The Robins as…” suggestions.

That being said, know that the only Robins I’m comfortable writing for are Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian since I’m not well-versed in their other siblings.

The Robins as…

Professional YouTubers

Dick:

  • 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 –”

– • – • – • – • – • –

Thank you for the suggestion, @strawberryjei !

a-wayne-at-heart:

 CORPORATE EMPLOYEES

Dick

  • Human Resources Head
  • Requires all employees to regularly attend team building/group therapy sessions, many of which he himself leads (though most don’t feel “obligated” to because they actually like him and his programs)
  • Spends majority of his time at work mediating between his brothers, honestly

Jason

  • Chief Security Officer
  • One of the main reasons the entire company can sleep soundly at night
  • He’s thought of everything – from shatterproof glass windows to extensive financial protection strategies to protocols to take down shady bystanders dressed as clowns to –

Tim

  • Chief Executive Officer
  • Deserves an award for putting up with a certain member of the Board of Directors, who he reports to
  • Would rather stay cooped up in his office, working overtime, than travel abroad or go golfing with other executives (and his personal assistant  deserves an award for the daily number of “coffee runs” done in his behalf)

Damian

  • member of the Board of Directors (alongside Bruce, who, in spite of constantly having to deal with headaches caused by arguing with his youngest son, cannot deny the teenager’s business acumen)
  • “You were saying?”, he says as he glowers at another member who’s clearly perturbed by the cow standing beside him at the head of the conference table

TELEMARKETERS

Dick

  • Flirtatious, even when he doesn’t mean to be (or perhaps the warmth in his voice, in his tone, makes you think so)
  • Ends up as a “therapist” once in a while
  • “Sure, I’ll call you sometime… Got your number right here.”

Jason

  • [You] “Hello? Are you still there?” [Him] *takes his hand off the mouth receiver and coughs up cigarette smoke* Yuuup yup yup, hold on a sec – *nondescript background noises* – So about that vacuum cleaner –
  • Actually admits how much the product he’s selling sucks and recommends better options

Tim

  • Disguise Master Extraordinaire (so much so that one minute you believe you’re speaking with Jeremy Irons, then Fran Drescher the next… Huh?)
  • Explains product features too thoroughly (making you wonder how many degrees you need to have or memes to be familiar with to understand what he’s saying)

Damian

  • “Sir, you would be an idiot not to – Did you not hear what I just – What did you just say to me – How dare you, you fool! – I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE, SIR –” (and make no mistake, he does)
  • He’s reported, he’s fired, and he’s all, “MY FATHER OWNS THIS STUPID COMPANY!”

So, @lilakriger , did hilarity indeed ensue?Thank you for the suggestion!

Red Hood: *about to drive the Batmobile through a burning building* I’m driving as recklessly as I can!
