* BatmanGambit: An example that gets performed ''on'' rather than ''by'' Batman. Dick admits that he knows Bruce could just restart the mansion's defenses with the Bat-Computer; therefore, he gave Damian a five-minute head start. Bruce could just reboot the system, let Damian go on patrol alone, and continue working, but it would go against the deeply-rooted PapaWolf tendencies that Dick's known about since his own tenure as Robin.

* PapaWolf: Weaponized. It's Dick telling Bruce that the perimeters were taken down and Damian went on patrol ''alone'' that scares Bruce into getting up and going after him. Luckily, it was a false alarm; Damian's upstairs [[TrademarkFavoriteFood eating cookies]].

to:

* DeathGlare: Bruce gives some pretty nasty glowers to both Dick and Damian for their parts in getting him away from the Bat-Computer. Neither of them is fazed in the slightest.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Downplayed; [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jason]] may be a DestructiveSavior, but Bruce ignores his threat to burn down the manor because Jason wouldn't do that if it would endanger Alfred.
* FriendOrIdolDecision: Invoked by Dick as part of his plan. After Dick disables the manor's defenses, he tells the irritated Bruce that Bruce can either reboot the system using the computer and keep working or leave the computer and catch Damian before he leaves the grounds to go patrolling alone. He won't have enough time for the latter unless he heads off immediately. After a few moments of glaring, Bruce charges off to intercept Damian.
* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: While his siblings try to get Bruce off the computer, Dick is doing something on his phone in the background. After they've exhausted every idea they have, he reveals what he was doing -- taking down the manor's defense network to force Bruce to go after Damian before he goes patrolling.

It's Dick telling Bruce that the perimeters were taken down and he has a limited amount of time to catch Damian went before he goes on patrol ''alone'' that scares Bruce into getting up and going after him.

Added DiffLines:

Bruce has spent the last twenty-four hours in the Batcave, and Alfred offers an incentive: if the kids can get him to stop working, he'll bake them cookies. They accept the challenge...and it's harder than they thought.
!Tropes:
* ArrowCatch: Cass tries to get Batman's attention by throwing a batarang at him. He catches it in mid-air ''without looking up'', and reminds the kids not to throw weapons near the Batcomputer.
* ContinuityNod: Once again, it's brought up that Alfred's cookies are [[ImpossiblyDeliciousFood the best in the world]].
