The thing about The LEGO Batman Movie (2017) is that it really is a satire of its comic book counterpart. It simplifies (and humorously so) a lot of deep canon concepts in the Batman universe that fans who intimately know the Batfamily can relate to and those who aren’t yet can appreciate nonetheless.

I mean, even this little scene right here? Robin being put on “time out” for disobeying Batman’s orders? And Dick being an enthusiastic Boy Wonder who’s grateful to Bruce for being a friend/father figure regardless of the drama that surrounds them? I think it playfully sums up much of their dynamic.

“I Found You”

We are both the same.

I’m Dick Grayson and you’re Bruce Wayne.

Though we both have different names,

We’re born to save the day.

We were meant to be together.

We’ve both been through some heavy weather.

It’s all I’ve wanted for so long.

A broken bone is twice as strong.

And I feel like we’re the perfect team.

The greatest the world’s ever seen. 

And it proves that wishes do come true,

‘Cause you’ve found me, and Batman I’ve found you.

It’s a brand new day.

Let the sunshine in and light up your Batcave.

There’s no reason to be scared of change.

We’re born to save the day

here, there’s no mistaking.

You’ve saved Gotham and saved my bacon.

All the villains just don’t stand a chance

Against the dynamic duo.

No, they don’t.

Song: here

From: The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

Artist: Fraser Murray

Listening to this song almost brings me to tears because, yeah, a young Dick would have totally sung this to Bruce in the Batman AU that we deserve. And even though Robin did bring the light to Batman’s dark, Bruce was Dick’s light at the end of the tunnel, too. 

Adorable. Adorable.
