Funny / Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

Family bonding.

The webcomic's primary genre is Comedy, and it pulls no punches while bringing the laughs.

---

Multiple Cases

• The sheer incongruity of a group of vigilantes, who have gone through things like hideously difficult training, fighting supervillains, and even dying and being resurrected, still freaking out over mundane things like wearing silly costumes or being embarrassed by their family.

Episode 1: Moving In

• Bruce's tagline: "Bruce Wayne, a.k.a The Freakin' Batman."
• Damian's tagline: "He's still working on his people skills."
• Alfred introduces Duke to Damian, who's supposed to give him a tour of the manor. Upon seeing the very irritated-looking preteen, who is around half his size in every dimension, Duke tries to weasel out of the tour by offering to help Bruce and Alfred unpack his things. Alfred has to push him toward the youngest Bat.
• The kitchen is Alfred's domain, and he has banned Bruce from it for life.
• Damian messes with Duke (the newbie) by telling him the dinosaur eats intruders and the grounds are booby-trapped. Duke is relieved when Bruce informs him that the dinosaur is just a souvenir... but then Bruce confirms that the grounds are booby-trapped. With a laser grid. That only gets armed at night, but still.
  • Bruce's confused chibi-face when Duke brings up the dinosaur.

Episode 2: The Last Cookie

• Jason claims that he's only in the mansion for Alfred's baking, but Tim sees through it immediately.
• Every single sibling's attention zeroing in on the last cookie. Including a smiling Damian, who has two in his hands already.
• Bruce calmly sipping his coffee from a blue "World's Okayest Father" mug as a Big Ball of Violence erupts right next to him, complete with shouting, fighting, and biting.
• Damian snags the cookie and gloats about how he's the superior Robin...but he doesn't get away with his hubris for long: as soon as he stands still to brag, Jason tackles him and the cookie flies out of his hand.
• The siblings frozen in a Beat moment as they stare at Bruce (because the cookie landed on his coffee cup): Damian clinging to Jason's back like a spider-monkey, Tim grabbing Jason's leg (with Damian's bootheel pressed to his face), Cassandra holding Jason's arm, Duke having a restraining hand on Jason's shoulder.

Episode 3: Eyes and Ears

• Bruce leaves a sticky note on the steering wheel that says, "Damian, you are still too young to drive the Batmobile." Damian tries to claim it's "ambiguous" so Oracle will let him drive, which is clearly useless because she already knows what it says.
• Stephanie's tagline: "Kicks butts. Takes names. Loves purple."
• Spoiler and Red Robin got the right intel from Oracle but ended up at the wrong bank (instead of the one being robbed). Oracle's exasperated face as she realizes the other two are elsewhere takes the cake. Spoiler and Red Robin agree not to tell Bruce.

Episode 4: Alert

• Jason and Bruce run into each other in the safehouse, doing the infamous "Pointing Spider-Men" meme.
• How was Jason finally caught, despite raiding Bruce's safehouses undetected for four months? Because this time, he decided to stop for a potty break.
• Bruce does send Jason all the latest gear, but Jason still goes around and steals from their safehouses! One can only assume he just thinks this way is more fun.

Episode 5: Arm Day

• The boys get into a feud over who can pull off a hundred handstand push-ups first. By dinner, they're all sore and barely able to move. Tim's resorted to trying to hold the spoon with his foot and Jason is trying to eat by moving nothing but his neck.

Episode 6: Favoritism

• Dick picks up souvenirs for the family from a Justice League memorabilia sale. He promised to grab everyone gear of their favorite Justice League member. None of them wanted any Batman stuff.
  • It starts off with Bruce noticing Dick is wearing a Superman hoodie. He pays this no mind given Dick's friendship with Clark. Then he notices Jason wearing sweatpants with Wonder Woman's logo on it. And then he sees Duke and Barbara wearing Flash Shoes and a Black Canary t-shirt respectively. The kicker is during dinner, where Stephanie loudly starts slurping from a Green Arrow cup — and, unlike the others, is clearly tweaking him on purpose — and then telling Bruce that she respects Ollie because he does what he does without powers.
    Bruce: But that's what I do!
    Stephanie: Yeah, but do you use a bow? Are you blonde? I don't think so.
  • And the final panels show Bruce having to meet his teammates/rivals at the Watchtower.
    Superman: Does Batman look broodier than usual today?
    Cut to an unhappy Bruce and a confused Flash and Wonder Woman
    Green Arrow: Seems normal to me.

Episode 7: Vigilante Bingo

• One of the items on the bingo list is "murdered and come back to life." Dick is unsure if "that thing with the Crime Syndicate" counts, but Duke is just really concerned about the fact that everybody save Dick raised their hands for being trained by assassins. Even then, Tim points out that Dick trained with Deathstroke at some point.
• It’s revealed that all the non-Duke Bat-kids have pranked Batman in the field. Dick in particular roped Damian into helping him replace Bruce's smoke bombs with glitter bombs.

Episode 11: Not It

• The entire premise of the episode is the Bat-family divvying up the cases related to the bottom of the Rogues Gallery barrel.
• Stephanie passes on finding Kite Man as he apparently keeps trying to make himself her Arch-Enemy.
  Steph: And I'm just like, "why are you so obsessed with me?" No means no, dude.
  Bruce: That's not a valid reason.
  Steph: Hard. Pass.
• Tim labeling the Baffler as "knock-off Riddler". Bruce then thanks him for volunteering, to loud protests that it isn't fair. Then he tries unsuccessfully to bribe Dick to take Baffler off his hands.
• And lastly...the Condiment King. Dick and Cassandra are grossed out, Tim is just smiling like a cat since he doesn't have to fight him, and Steph offers to take back her pass on Kite Man if it means she doesn't have to fight Condiment King. That leaves only Dick and Cassandra left, and Dick Ain't Too Proud to Beg.
  Dick: (on his knees pleading) Cass—
  Cassandra: No.
  Dick: You owe me—
  Cassandra: No.
• After a stare down between the two, Dick finally breaks and says he'll go after Condiment King, much to Cassandra's joy. Tim is all too ready to relish this turn of events:
  Tim: Bet Baffler's looking real good to you right now.
  Dick: It took me three weeks to get the mustard smell out of my uniform last time. THREE WEEKS!
• Bruce being grateful Dick agreed to handle Condiment King because he hates fighting the guy too.

Episode 12: Escalation

• Tim and Damian's prank war goes into outright ludicrous territory. The entire thing starts with Tim using Damian's pen, and Damian breaking Tim's favorite mug in retaliation. Tim's first move after that? Putting lasers in Damian's room while he's sleeping.
• Damian responded to the lasers by stealing all of Tim's clothes.
• The end of the strip sees Damian's Robin suit covered in glitter while Tim's has been defaced with the words "I'm with stupid" and an arrow pointed at his face (along with his hair dyed Joker green).
• Tim and Damian immediately call the whole thing off when Bruce threatens to sic Alfred on them.

Episode 13: Stupid Traditions

• The fact that Selina Kyle apparently decided to give Damian a whip for his birthday.
• Damian is given a dog for his birthday, melting his heart just a little. He immediately names it "Murder King."
  Oracle: That's not a proper name for a dog!

Episode 14: Unaccompanied

• This episode could best be described as "why Bruce isn't bringing any of the kids to a charity gala":
  • Damian went with him to the last gala, and he almost stabbed a woman for pinching his cheeks.
  • The last time he brought Tim, he fell asleep in the middle of dinner (literally) because he'd already been awake for THIRTY-SIX HOURS by that point.
  • The last time he brought Cassandra, she somehow got onto the roof despite wearing heels and stayed there the entire night.
  • Bruce had to drag Jason out by the collar after he got too heated about what you should do in a hypothetical situation where "a very bad man killed your son."
  • The last time Dick went to an event, he ended up showing off to an amazed crowd by swinging from a chandelier, calling cheerfully to the crowd that he told them he could do it with no hands, much to Bruce's exasperation. A dub goes the extra mile by having Dick go, "I'm the next in line for the fortune!"
  • He's not inviting Duke because...he's got a test to study for.
  • Stephanie laughed Bruce out of the room before he could even get halfway through the question.
  • When Bruce points out to Alfred that he himself could always come, Alfred promptly replies, "You don't pay me nearly enough for that, sir."

Episode 17: Top Chef

• Kate's introduction.
  Kate Kane. A.K.A. Batwoman. Don't mess with her. (Seriously. Don't.)
• Dick, Tim, Cassandra, and Damian try to make pies to help an absent Alfred prepare for holiday celebration. Kate spends the whole thing as an amused onlooker to their failure.
  • They decided to use a soup pot as a pie tin.
  • None of them remembered to pre-heat the oven.
• While they wait for their pie to bake, all the siblings except Tim start to have a flour fight.
• Jason and Stephanie instantly state that they aren't eating the pie.
• When the family sits down to eat, Kate claims that she tried to stop Dick and the others. Alfred asks her to try harder next time.

Episode 19: Bat-Cow’s Day Out

• The fact that NO ONE, not even Bruce, notices Bat-Cow moving around the mansion!

Episode 20: Daydreaming

• Back in the first issue, Damian told Duke that the dinosaur statue in the Batcave ate intruders, but Bruce tells him that the kid was just kidding. Here, Duke dreams about the dinosaur doing exactly that.
• The whole thing could be summarized as "Duke falls asleep during contingency plan reviews".
• Also, the fact Bruce has a plan if man-bats overrun Gotham.

Holiday Spirit

• When Bruce can't find any of the younger Bat-family members for a game of chess, he asks Alfred where everyone is, saying that apparently, he has misplaced his numerous children.

Episode 22: The Tournament

• It's revealed that the kids have an annual gaming tournament, with losers being subjected to a Humiliating Wager.
• To make sure Bruce and Alfred don't interrupt, the family sends out someone (Duke and Damian this year) to do etiquette training with them as a distraction. Barbara sets aside a moment to honor this sacrifice quite seriously, and then we get a panel of Duke and Damian tied to the chairs with handkerchiefs. Both of them look bored and irritated to death.
  Tim: I had to do that last year. Not fun.
• For last year's punishment, Steph had to wear a Riddler costume complete with bowler hat for a whole month.
  Stephanie: I actually think I rocked that bowler hat.
• The punishment for this year: wear Dick's old Nightwing costume for two weeks without skipping patrol. The competitors are outright horrified at the possibility of wearing the "Discowing".
  Cassandra: No!
  Jason: You monster.
  Stephanie: Anything but that!
  Tim: Why is the vee so deep?
• Jason's game username being "TIMSUX".
• One night later, Jason is revealed to be the loser as the others gleefully take pictures.
  Jason: [utterly defeated] My life is over.
  • Plus, Dick wonders why the others think his old costume is a punishment and not a prize.
  Barbara: And that's why you're not allowed to compete anymore. You're impossible to embarrass.
  Dick: What's embarrassing about that? It’s great!
  Barbara: Impossible.

Episodes 23 and 24: Opening Up

• Damian asks for advice on how to make friends. Jason suggests breaking someone out of prison like he did with Roy. This comes back in the next episode when a panicking Damian texts Dick about his social problems and says maybe he should take Jason's advice. Dick understandably protests.

Episode 25: Front Seat

• Aka the four Robins argue over who gets to ride shotgun in the Batmobile.
• Dick argues that he should ride shotgun due to being the oldest, only for Jason to say that being ancient isn't a good reason. In the next panel he's still sulking about it.
• When Bruce sees the kids can't agree, he decides to just stick them all in the back seat.
  Bruce: One of these days, we're going to figure this out.

Episode 26: TMI

• Batman flirts with Catwoman only to learn he left his comm line open. Batman anxiously asks how many of the others heard, which Oracle doesn't have the courage to answer. Almost all of them are very much grossed out. To be more specific, Steph is shuddering and grimacing; Tim is curled up on the ground crying, and Jason is asking for someone to kill him again. Damian, however, does not get what is happening.
• When Batman finds out, he drags his hands down both sides of his face.
• Selina, on the other hand, finds the whole thing hilarious. When Bruce mournfully says that he can't go back home after that, she reassures him he'll be okay. Mercilessly teased, but okay.

Episode 28: Big Brother (Part 2)

• While this episode is mostly heartwarming, it does have one line that's particularly giggle-worthy. Jason talks to Dick about the importance of setting boundaries.
  Dick: But what happens when someone asks for help?
  Jason: There are about 50 people in this family. And at the rate Bruce adopts kids, we'll have 100 within the next few weeks.

Episode 29: Hangout

• Conner, Cassie, and Bart all convince Tim to use the Batcomputer to watch movies. Goes about as well as expected.
• Bruce catches the Young Justice members and scares them so badly they bail on Tim (keep in mind that this team includes an Amazon and a cloned Kryptonian).
• At the end, Tim wishes they went to Smallville instead since the Kents are nicer.
  Bruce: I heard that!

Episode 30: Driving Lessons

• Duke gets to drive the Batmobile for the first time...and in the process, causes property damage.
• According to Steph, she nearly brought down a building first time she drove the car.

Episode 31: Dirty Little Secret

• Damian keeps contingency plans on his family, just like his father. Unlike Bruce, however, he does it to blackmail them into doing his chores.
• In a bit of black comedy, Jason's weaknesses include Emotions, Crowbars, and Dying.
• Upon realizing that he doesn't have enough dirt on Jason to properly keep him in line, Damian decides to tail his older brother through the night. When Jason realizes this, he writes the phrase "Stop Following Me, Weirdo" in fire on the ground.
• Damian's reaction to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
  Damian: I do not trust this Wickham character. He seems wrong for Elizabeth.
  Jason: (grinning) Oh boy. Just keep reading.

Episode 34: Recovery

• Bruce has been bedridden after a bad encounter with crooks, but despite Alfred telling him to stay in bed and rest, Bruce is determined to go out and suit up. The attempts all fail:
  • Attempt #1 just has Bruce sneak through a door, where Alfred is waiting.
  • Attempt #5 has Bruce try to use bedsheet ropes to escape, only for Tim to be waiting for him. He has the audacity to bribe Tim with one million dollars.
  • Attempt #18 has Bruce try to enter the study to get into the Batcave, only for Damian to be waiting for him in his seat, Alfred the cat on his lap like he's a supervillain.
  • Attempt #33 has Bruce finally get into the Batcave, prepare to suit up... and find out that Jason showed up and lifted the wheels off of every single Bat-Vehicle. It's what make Bruce finally rest.

Episode 35: GCPD

• This episode takes a look at the Robins from the GCPD's POV:
  • A new cop from Metropolis made a mistake of saying that Damian was six.
  • Dick Grayson Robin was first seen showing off his circus training to a cop and calling himself an acroBAT. Poor Gordon tells Batman that he has a ton of follow-up questions.
  • Jason Todd Robin saved Detective Renee Montoya much to her shock.
    Renee: How old are you?
    Jason: [indignant] Old enough to kick butt!
  • Tim Drake Robin was giving a serious lecture on the components of Scarecrow's fear toxin to a group of police officers and refusing to answer questions until he was done.
  • Stephanie Brown Robin solved all of the Riddler's riddles in 10 minutes which was ages to her.
  • Then at the end, both Renee and Jim agree they have the weirdest job thanks to Batman.
• The taglines for the Robins during the flashbacks:
  • Dick: "His puns are his most lethal weapon."
  • Jason: "He's been an edgelord since day 1."
  • Tim: "He figured out Batman's real identity when he was 9."
  • Stephanie: "It's been 0 days since she last sassed Batman."
  • In the background, Damian is still angrily yelling at the unfortunate newbie. In the ending, he's telling on the cop to Batman.

Episode 38: S.O.S

• Bruce, Damian and Duke have a problem: they got a party to go to, they can’t tie their ties and Alfred is away on vacation. Bruce’s solution? Call the Justice League.
• Superman initially thinks there's some horrible emergency occurring when Batman sounds the alarm and is confused to find out the truth. After an initial failure, Bruce snaps that Clark has to tie a tie for work every day. Superman indignantly retorts not to use that tone with him.
• To add to the overall hilarity of the scene, Bruce, Superman, and Flash are all super geniuses (the latter two have enhanced processing as a side effect of their Super-Speed), and Green Lantern uses his ring to create an accurate representation of the correct way to do it, and they still can't figure it out.
• When an out-of-the-loop Green Arrow tries to tell the Batfam to get the butler to do it, he gets yelled at in unison by Barry, Clark, and Hal, "HE'S OUT OF TOWN!!!"
• The one who solves it? Wonder Woman, who just tells them go without it.
  Wonder Woman: I mean, what are they going to do? Kick the richest man in Gotham out of the party?
• The final scene is of Damian hugging a confused Alfred, begging him never to leave again.

Episode 39: Secret Identity

• Duke is worried about his secret identity being exposed, particularly that it's getting hard to explain his injuries and absences. Tim suggests faking an injury that would need physical therapy in order to throw off suspicion, and mentions that the drawback is that it will require a lot of time commitment to pull off.
  Duke: Exactly how long we talking here?
  Tim: When I did it, I had to commit to about a year of recovery.
  Duke: A year?!
  Tim: We could get it down to six months! No?

Episode 40: Better and Brighter

• Tim asks Batwoman if "dating guys is anything like dating girls," forgetting for the moment that she's a lesbian and doesn't know.
  Batwoman: I am so not the person to ask that question to.
  Tim: ...Right.

Episode 42: Unbelievable

• Bruce suddenly arrives at the JLA headquarters with a broken leg. As many members start gossiping on how he broke it, leading to the conclusion that the Joker hired Riddler and Bane to feed him to Killer Croc. How he actually broke his leg? He tripped down the stairs after riding around on Tim’s skateboard. You read right. He'd gotten off the skateboard and was on his feet when he fell.
• What does Bruce Wayne, the Damn Batman, do on finally face planting at the bottom of the stairs?
  Bruce: Alfred!

Episode 43: Detective Work

• Stephanie is looking for someone who supposedly ate a turkey sandwich she left lying around, coming up to the three main suspects, Jason, Duke, and Tim. (Damian’s in the house too, but he’s a vegetarian.)
• When Damian pokes his head in, irritated that Stephanie accusing Tim is interrupting his painting, he reveals he placed her sandwich in the fridge. Cue a embarrassed Steph: "Well, this just got awkward."

Episode 44: Ransom

• Tim is kidnapped by a trio of would-be kidnappers. He can’t blow his cover, but thankfully Jason arrives to save him. But then, Jason proceeds to list off everything they did wrong and gives them a tip to be smarter next time, before knocking them out.
• The sheer incompetence of the kidnappers is truly something to behold. They...
  • Grabbed Tim in front of witnesses and cameras.
  • Did so in a van they rented with their real credit card.
  • Drove straight back to an apartment listed as the address for said credit card.
  • Took off their masks in front of Tim.
    Jason: How could someone not find you?
• Tim, annoyed beyond belief at this point, just slips out of his restraints while Jason is lecturing them.

Episode 45: Strong Enough

• While this chapter is a Tear Jerker, Jason’s first few lines are golden:
  Jason: (to Tim) Sorry, I was working on the Batmobile earlier. Guess I’ll just leave it broken next time. (Tim storms out.) Might as well bring it [a tire iron he left] over here since Tim is clearly a danger to himself and others.
  Stephanie: What’s the magic word?
  Jason: Spoiler is the best?
  Stephanie: I would’ve accepted "please," but that’ll do nicely.

Episode 47: World's Finest

• It's revealed that Alfred and the Kents, Superman's parents, hold regular get-togethers where they bond over the antics of their superhero sons. When Alfred asks if they're sure Clark isn't eavesdropping with his super hearing, Martha responds by loudly replying that her son would never be so intrusive in that "I know you're listening to this" tone parents usually reserve for kids upstairs or in the next room. Cut to Clark and Bruce in the Batcave, where Clark was eavesdropping and is now panicking.
  Clark: Oh no. She’s onto us.
• Bruce grumbles that Clark should've let him plant listening devices instead. Clark strongly opposes the idea of his parents' house being bugged, and like a stern parent, makes Bruce promise not to.
  Clark: Bruce, we've talked about this! Not in my parents' house!
  Bruce: Hn.
  Clark: Bruce.
  Bruce: Fine, fine. No listening devices. I promise.

Episode 48: Shovel Talk

• Cassandra brings a boy in, convincing Duke she has a boyfriend. Cue the kids interrogating him.
• Stephanie reveals she knew he was just a friend all along but didn't tell anyone because she's an agent of chaos.

Episode 51: Night In

• Superman patrols Gotham for Batman while he and his family take a night off, only to find that Batman already has a substitute... in the form of Harley Quinn of all people. Complete with her own poorly-made Bat-cowl worn over her normal outfit. Her introduction blurb feels the need to point out that she's not really Batman.
• Both Superman and Harley are so offended at the other claiming to be Batman's best friend that they call Bruce to settle the issue. Thankfully, Alfred intercepts them.
• The sheer idea that Harley Quinn has Batman's phone number and that he apparently told her that he was taking a night off.

(S2) Episode 52: Assassin

• The episode has the sidekicks all playing “Assassin” with paintball guns, despite Bruce saying “no”. And we find out from the start that Dick was already taken out!
• Stephanie lets out a Skyward Scream Big "NO!" as she’s tagged by Jason while she’s fighting Mad Hatter. She warns him she has “powerful friends”. And while this is happening, Mad Hatter tries to sneak away, only to get backhanded into unconsciousness.
• Tim tries to get Damian by luring him with a recording of Titus’ barking. Damian manages to shoot Tim first anyway and vows to actually murder him if he ever uses his animals like that for real.
• Steph’s “powerful friends”? It’s Cass and Duke, who hit Jason at the same time… only for Cass to turn against Duke at the last second.
• Just when it seems that Cass is the winner, a paintball strikes her - from Harper Row/Bluebird!
• They all book it when Batman begins approaching.

(S2) Episode 53: Online

• Barbara decides to check out the family's social media profiles. She doesn't find anything out of the ordinary... until she discovers that Jason has a dating profile on this universe's equivalent of Tinder. Barb's Scary Shiny Glasses say it all.
  Barbara: I love my job so much.
  • It then cuts to later in the week, when Barbara has finished helping Jason with a case. Barbara decides to tease him by casually dropping lines from his profile. Jason initially doesn't catch on... but when he does, he's mortified.
    Jason: Oh no.
    Barbara: (grinning) Oh yes.
    Jason: It was for a case?
    Barbara: Nice try.
    Jason: (buries face in hands) I hate everything.
  • To make him feel better, Barbara invites him to a "Blackmail Movie Night" featuring files she kept on the early mishaps of Batman & Robin. Jason promptly declares her the "single greatest human who has ever lived".
• Damian roasting someone's math skills on Discord.
• In a retroactive sort of funny, this means that Barbara has more dirt on Jason than Damian ever did back in Episode 31!

(S2) Episode 54: S'tel ees a cigam wohs

• Of all nights Bruce decides to go see Zatanna's magic show, it's the night Copperhead crashes it.
• The fact that Copperhead steals one of Zatanna's wands and uses it on Nightwing...to turn him into an adorable fluffy bunny! Notably, this transformation does not stop him from being able to fight Copperhead, leading to many panels of Copperhead getting smacked around by a tiny bunny rabbit.
  • One dub has Dick mutter how "Babs" (Barbara) will never let him forget this.
• Zatanna decides to spin the fight as part of her show and picks Bruce out of the audience to become a superhero as part of the finale. As the nervous Bruce stands on stage, she uses her magic to turn him into...Superman! Bruce is not pleased after the fact. (She claims it's to avoid making his secret too obvious).
• The last panel of the comic has Zatanna turning Nightwing back to normal after everything is over; Dick is currently human with bunny ears on top of his head and gleefully planning to tell Clark what happened that night.

(S2) Episode 57: Picture Day

• Damian takes great effort to look good for picture day... only to immediately have to dodge Duke charging through the hall seconds after leaving the bathroom.
• Cassandra apparently likes to practice ballet while having breakfast... which again, proves hazardous to Damian's appearance since she's obliviously flinging oatmeal everywhere.
• When Duke wants to open the window in the car, Damian's face contorts into a look of insane rage.
• Damian finally makes it to school, having successfully made it unscathed... only for some random kid to trip and accidentally spill his water all over him.

(S2) Episode 58: Clean Up

• In which Duke has to clean up his superhero gear before a gala because he forgot to... despite Alfred reminding him several times.
• Duke frantically thinks that if this is how Batman's secret gets blown, no one will let him live it down.
• In the end, Duke seemingly gets away with his mistake... only for Alfred to knock on the door and casually hand him his helmet.
  Duke: I am so getting a lecture later.

(S2) Episode 59: Home Alone

• Bruce has the house to himself, and tries to cook... only to burn food while on the phone with Superman.
  Clark: I'm starting to see why you have a lifetime ban [from the kitchen].
  Bruce: I don't want to talk about it.

(S2) Episode 62: Live From New York

• Damian and Duke decide to sneak out from a boring fundraiser in NYC to do superhero work, only to encounter Vixen and Grace Choi working the same case. Hijinks ensue.
• After grabbing Damian, Grace asks Duke if the "feral child" belongs to him. Damian, still hanging by his collar, retorts that he knows two hundred different ways to kill her.
  Mari: Is that little kid really Robin?
  Duke: Yep, though don't call him 'little' to his face. He's kinda sensitive about it.
  Mari: Got it.
• Apparently Catwoman has been teaching Duke how to lockpick.
• Mari wanting to learn how to do a cool entrance like Duke and Damian.

(S2) Episode 63: Opposite Day

• Helena, aka Huntress, is working a mission with Nightwing and she's bored. Dick tries to offer her a lollipop... and she shoots it immediately.
• Dick's solution? Switch weapons and see who can beat more bad guys.

(S2) Episode 66: No Doors Allowed

• Cassandra and Jason grill Duke for doing something that he shouldn't have...using the front door.
• The two decide to pull a montage on the other ways that the Bat family should enter a warehouse and surprise the enemy: skylights, window, from the floor and through a wall. The last one includes a physical demonstration of Jason blowing it up with an RPG. Duke questions if it was necessary.
• Finally, Duke points out that at this point every villain in Gotham expects one of the Bat Family to go through those four. By going through a door, then it's considered unexpected. Jason and Cass just stare at him blankly before proclaiming that it's genius.
• The kicker? Penguin himself ends up whining how it's unfair that they used the door because that's not what they do. Duke looks enormously, smugly satisfied as he slaps the cuffs on the supervillain.

(S2) Episode 67: Branching Out

• Harley tries to reassure Ivy she's not as beat up as she looks by booping her on the nose... only to miss Ivy's face by a mile.
  Ivy: She's on the good pain meds, huh?
• Spoiler asking Ivy what's up with her houseplant and showing her a picture is met with Ivy rebuffing her. For all of two seconds, before she rips Spoiler's phone out of her hand in shock over the state of the poor plant.
• Ivy's Death Glare at Cassandra when she lets it slip she didn't know overwatering was bad for plants.

(S2) Episode 71: High Heels

• Selina Kyle is giving Stephanie a lesson in Combat Stilettos. When Damian stops by to mock this, Stephanie challenges him to do better. Cut to both Batkids wearing high heels and trying to fight- emphasis on "Trying" as they lose balance easily and can barely walk.
  Bruce: Do I want to know?
  Selina: They're having fun, Bat. Leave them be.

(S2) Episode 72: Snowfall (Part 1)

• Cassandra decides to tell everyone that the first snowfall has arrived with a plethora of emojis.
• Bruce and the Batkids prep for a fight. A snowball fight.
  • Tim's photo of Bruce is him looking completely haggard while drinking coffee and reading a magazine.
  • Following Cassandra's announcement to her friends and brothers that the first snow is falling, we cut to Bruce fresh off exercising with Alfred. Alfred asks if Bruce has seen the weather reports, and Bruce confirms as such. Alfred then asks if Bruce has a plan, and, being the goddamn Batman himself, Bruce retorts with the fact he always has a plan. There's just something frankly hilarious about the normally stoic 'World's Greatest Detective' coming into a snowball fight with the same level of determination and calculation as he would getting into a protracted, dirty brawl with the Penguin or Bane.

(S2) Episode 73: Snowfall (Part 2)

• It seems that Bruce is by himself with a hastily built snow fort and snowballs and Damian and Duke go in for the kill… only for Alfred to take them out.
• Dick and Tim go after Bruce, only to get a reminder of just how Crazy-Prepared he can be: he's in the Thrasher Batsuit. The two race away, yelling to abort the mission.
• The comic ends with Tim trying to pull Dick out of the large snowball Bruce tossed at them with Jason doubled over in laughter.

(S2) Episode 74: Lesson Learned

• Dick Grayson Robin irritates Ivy with wordplay:
  Robin: Are you asking us to leaf you alone?
  Poison Ivy: I'm not going to dignify that with a response.
• In the past (when Dick was Robin), he and Batman went to confront Poison Ivy after she attacked a chemical plant. While Bruce was trying to talk to her, Robin got eaten by a plant. Twice. And the second time was on purpose. Ivy actually dropped the fight so that Batman could pull Robin out and lecture him about not following orders. Years later, Dick is still salty about the fact that Bruce grounded him from Robin-related activities for a while. Damian remarks that it's a miracle Dick is still alive.

(S2) Episode 77: Suit Up

• Bruce calls Kate to bring a replacement suit after Condiment King ruins the one he's wearing... but fails to specify what suit he actually wants. There's only one way that could end:
  Jason: You've got five minutes to find the worst—I mean best—option for Bruce to wear. Winner gets bragging rights for eternity.
• Note that Dick was initially sympathetic to Bruce's situation and was leading Kate to the normal spare suits, until Jason (of course) brought up the secret closet. Cue immediate evil grins on all parties.
• The fact that Bruce keeps his more embarrassing Batsuits in a super-secret lead-lined closet.^note He's got to keep Superman from finding them, after all!
• For the selection, Jason presents the mummy Batsuit, Dick suggests the Bat-toga, and Kate pulls out the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh costume. Then Dick has another idea, and he returns with the winner:
  (Kate and Jason stare in awe)
  Kate: Yep. That's the one.
  Jason: Agreed.
• Bruce's absolutely priceless reaction to the suit Kate brings him:
  Bruce: [glowering] I expected this from my children, but not from you.
  Kate: I regret nothing.
• What is the winning suggestion, you ask? Why, none other than the RAINBOW BATSUIT, of course! And Batman still tries to do a dramatic pose with it! It takes all Gordon's willpower to keep a straight face.
  Gordon: (takes a photo of Batman) There aren't many days I can say this, but God, I love this job.

(S2) Episode 78: Outlaws

• Jason's plans to collect supplies and split are derailed the moment Alfred wheels in snacks.
  Bizarro: But... me hate little sandwiches and tea.
  Jason: Fine. One cup of tea. And then we're leaving.
  • Alfred looks just a tad smug at how Artemis and Bizarro have tucked into the goodies.
• After the tea, Jason stands up stiffly and insists that they're leaving. Then Tim and Cass arrive in the cave. Tim wants to show Bizarro his gaming setup, while Artemis and Cass go to spar. Jason is left standing there with his mouth hanging open.
• Alfred uses Jason's favorite food to get him to stick around.
  Jason: Oh no. Nuh-uh. I am getting the equipment I came for and then we're leaving!
  Alfred: Understood. I did take the liberty of preparing your favorite meal, but if you need to leave, then you need to leave.
  Jason: (two panels of him saying nothing, followed by a Hand Behind Head) You made my favorite?

(S2) Episode 79: Just Desserts

• How does Bruce get revenge against Margie, who gave him incorrect info about what he was supposed to bring to Duke's class party? Upstaging her with several trucks' worth of Free Ice Cream. To make it even funnier, Duke's reaction implies that this kind of thing has happened multiple times.
  Duke: You have got to stop letting her get to you, man.
  Bruce: [sigh] This was too much, wasn't it?
  Duke: Little bit, yeah. Bet it was satisfying though.
  Bruce: So satisfying.
• In the last panel, Bruce is eating a Batman Popsicle.

(S2) Episode 82: Sneak Attack

• It's Testing Day for the Bat family, where Batman sees how good his mentees and kids are at being vigilant. This test basically means Orphan is sneaking up on everyone and trying to catch them off guard. It's as funny as it sounds:
  • Red Hood is caught off guard and scared so badly that he swears in front of a child. He buys the kid candy to make sure he'll never tell anyone that Orphan took him by surprise.
  • Spoiler and Bluebird are on a dinner date/patrol when Orphan catches them. Spoiler groans at how much she hates Testing Day while Bluebird yells at Orphan for ruining their meal.
    • Even better, Cassandra performs a Nonchalant Dodge as Stephanie, in her shock, tosses the burger she was eating in Cassandra's direction. Cassandra manages to combine her dodge with an innocent, whimsical, hands-clasped-behind-back 'did I upset you?' pose, complete with a musical note near her face. Never has Cassandra looked more like a stereotypical ninja and prankster at the same time.
  • Tim was unconscious in the study and didn't know Orphan had been there until he wakes up with a note from her lying in front of him.
  • Batman is caught off guard by Orphan (yes, really). He then said that she didn't scare him...only to be called out by Superman who tells him that he can hear from his heartbeat that he's lying. Not that Superman is one to talk, given that Cass somehow snuck up on him too.
  • Oracle, thanks to a bunch of sensors in her tower, is the only one to pass.

(S2) Episode 83: Utility Belt

• The entire issue is Green Lantern learning about some of the odder things Batman keeps in his utility belt, including stun bombs, a collapsible katana, fish treats for bears, and shark repellent. The look on Green Lantern's face every time he pulls out exactly the tool he needs for any given situation is priceless.
  • The buildup to the shark repellent is the best part. Hal jokes that perhaps Batman has a device that lets him talk to fish. Batman scoffs at how ridiculous that sounds...then shows off the shark repellant.
• The second Batman pulls out the fish treats, the bears in front of him turn from ferocious to big teddy bears.
• The added irony to all of this is that this is Green Lantern that's getting exasperated, the hero that can create pretty much anything with his ring.

(S2) Episode 84: Field Test

• The entire comic is Nightwing and Flash (Wally West) trying to figure out a less embarrassing way for the Bats to use speedsters for transport (as the only ways thus far are to be carried either bridal-style or piggy-back). Most of it shows the two attempting numerous (and hilarious) ways of a speedster carrying a Bat.
  • The first try? Wally and Dick try with Nightwing in front of Wally while he runs. However, Wally can’t see where he's going and they both end up tumbling along the desert at Mach speed.
  • The second time, Dick is on Wally’s shoulders, screaming in terror as the unbelievable wind pressure hits his face.
  • The third time? Dick is attached to a bjorn as Wally jokingly notes the indignity. Dick admits he's right, but he finds it comfy.
  • The fourth attempt is known as the "Dirty Dancing". Wally holds Dick in the famous pose from the film while running, while Dick is in the Superman flying pose. The cincher is when a Superman image appears over Dick while this happens.
    Wally: Yeah, I'm not carrying you like this.
  • The final time? They try roller skates. It actually works. For a second. Then the wheels begin falling off, and Nightwing is holding on to Wally like a human rag doll as he zooms through the desert.
• The really funny part? Nightwing (who is impossible to embarrass) doesn't care how he's carried by a speedster. Batman and a few other Bats think it's embarrassing and talked Nightwing into figuring out a new position. One would think they'd remember that he's the worst possible person to pick a non-embarrassing anything.

(S2) Episode 85: Hold the Line

• While there isn't any humor to be found in the comic itself, the plot outline is a hilarious Call-Back. In episode 20. Duke fell asleep as Bruce talked about the plan for if Man-Bats started overrunning Gotham. Wouldn't you know it, that's exactly what happens!

(S2) Episode 87: Objects in Mirrors

• It's the Kent Family Adventures as Conner shows Clark and Jon his problem; he's started to grow a beard, but regular shavers break on his indestructible Kryptonian body. So Clark shows him the fine art of using heat vision to shave. Hilarity Ensues.
• Conner has a Nightwing bunny plush! Somehow the incident of Copperhead turning the real Nightwing into a bunny transformed made someone sell marketable bunny plushies!

(S2) Episode 88: Birds of Prey

• After the heist to get Oliver's family heirloom rings are done, Barbara, Helena and Dinah relax at how the heist was a success...and then realize that while Selena vowed to not steal the rings, she stole everything else in the safe. The comic even ends with a chibi Catwoman with a sack of loot.

(S2) Episode 89: Stick Up

• A store Tim is stopping at gets robbed... except the robbers turn out to be the same group of thugs who kidnapped Tim in "Ransom", who immediately greet him like an old friend. Tim's reaction when he realizes this is priceless.
• Red Hood ends up being the one to save Tim again and is highly amused that he ended up in the same situation twice. The robbers eagerly tell Hood that they took his advice, only for Jason to point out that they removed their masks halfway through their heist.
• The final panel is Red Hood and Tim having a snark-off that has Tim vowing to hack everything Jason owns if this gets leaked out. Jason smugly replies that it'll be Worth It.

(S2) Episode 92: Newsflash

• Clark explaining how life isn't always about saving airplanes or changing clothes in phone booths. Jon and Damian only look at each other in confusion before asking what phone booths are.
  Clark: I'm so old.
• Lois Lane's introduction ends with the sentence "You know her".
• Clark then suggests Jon and Damian uncover a lunch thief. Cut to the next panel where Damien points out a random employee passing by as the thief.

(S2) Episode 93: Alarm Bells

• The Batfam needs to get Bruce away from the computers with Alfred promising cookies if they're successful. Needless to say, Bruce knocks down all of their attempts.
  • Jason wants to borrow the Batmobile for a joyride? Go ahead.
  • Cassandra throws a Batarang? Bruce catches it and then mumbles no Batarangs near the computer while throwing it back to her.
  • Duke clears his throat and then shouts in pretend terror that someone made the connection that Bruce Wayne is Batman. Bruce does a quick check and it's a false alarm.
  • Jason menacingly holds a lighter, threatening to burn the manor down. Bruce ignores him, saying that he won't while Alfred is in there.
  • Cassandra and Duke hold a bucket of ice over his head. Bruce calmly tells them, "Don't. You. Dare."
  • What makes Bruce finally leave? Dick deactivating the manor defenses and stating that he gave Damian a five-minute head start, telling Bruce that he better go get Damian before he starts patrolling on his own. Bruce has no choice but to leave, cursing all the way.
  • And, as it turns out, Damien was in on the plan, because he's the first to get cookies. One can feel Bruce's Batglare from the back, but Damian and Alfred are entirely unruffled.

(S2) Episode 94: A Little Help From Friends

• On this adventure, the team helps Aquaman on mission to find and stop Black Manta. While figuring out ways to find him, Aquaman jumps off the Gotham docks to try and see if he's underwater. Tim and Steph try and stop him, but it's too late. One second later, a disgusted and enraged Aquaman bursts back out, screaming "WHAT DID YOU PEOPLE DO TO THAT WATER?!" Spoiler sheepishly admits that after years of Joker Venom, Scarecrow's Toxin, and general pollution from the city flowing into the docks, Gotham waterways could hardly be considered water at that point. Tim whispers to himself that sometimes he thinks Poison Ivy has a point about them.
• When they meet back at the Justice League Headquarters, Aquaman brings up how Batman always claims to work alone, yet he has his entire Batfamily. Batman tells him to stay out of Gotham.

(S2) Episode 97: Wonderful

• Diana's bubble goes "Need I say more?"
• The episode is essentially "Diana Prince the Animal Lover" as she keeps getting distracted with all of the pets Wayne Manor has. Up to and including Goliath, Damian's dragon bat. Diana's Flat "What" is funnier for fans those who don't know of Damian's dragon bat, since it mirrors her reaction on seeing this magnificent creature.
• When Bruce tries to say she doesn't need to meet Bat-Cow, she pulls the Puppy-Dog Eyes. To make things funnier, Alfred the cat is perched on her shoulder, giving Bruce a Disapproving Look.

(S2) Episode 97: Kidnapping Clinic

• Dick tells Duke about all the times he got kidnapping threats as a child because he was "all small and vulnerable-looking and cute". This is accompanied by an image of him as a child asleep in bed while wearing cyan pajamas with bats on it, cuddling an elephant plushie, and sucking his thumb. When Dick adds that that the kidnapping threats continue in the present even though he's "older and less vulnerable and ridiculously handsome", it shows an older Dick in the same pajamas (now with a matching nightcap), holding the same elephant plushie and still sucking his thumb. The crowner is Duke's reaction:
  Duke: [half-grinning] Uh-huh.
• Jason and Tim have an argument on whether Duke should fight back or play helpless to protect his secret identity (respectively). Jason then remarks how Tim's method of handling things means he has to keep saving him, specifically bringing up the time he was kidnapped by the crooks from Episode 89.
  Tim: I hate you.
• Jason teases Tim about his Distressed Dude status once too often, and Tim knocks over Jason's armchair while he's still sitting in it, yelling that they're never speaking again. Jason's look of alarm is hilarious.

(S2) Episode 103: Personal Growth

• Skyler explaining how she knows Damian's family from his sketches in the Art Club. All of them do look magnificent...except for Tim's, since Damian has drawn him in Pablo Picasso-esque style with an unflattering expression.
• After practically insulting Damian while trying to compliment him for befriending Skyler (who's very happy-go-lucky), Steph tries to recover by saying he's good at giving compliments. She asks Tim to back her up, only for Tim to recall, dubiously, that Damian's last compliment to him (which Bruce had to make him give) was that he "has hair." Damian still doesn't get what was wrong with that.
• The end of the comic has Steph and Tim secretly wondering amongst themselves if Skylar isn't a Kent, because only a superpowered being can remain cheerful in the face of Wayne dourness. The conversation is accompanied by an image of a chibi Skylar wearing Superman's attire.

(S2) Episode 105: Trivia Night

• Bruce, Clark, and Diana all have get-togethers once a month. This time it's Bruce doing Trivia Night...to which Clark and Diana cringe due to how competitive Bruce can get. In the flashback, we see Clark (aka Superman) hiding behind his paper like an intern in the Daily Planet office as Bruce loses it.
• Clark and Diana decide to troll Bruce throughout the entire night by deliberately getting answers wrong, to the point that they got every answer wrong while Bruce has to maintain his composure.
• The comic ends as Bruce returns to Wayne Manor, gives Alfred his disguise, calmly walks into his bedroom...and then screams into his pillow. Clark cheerfully announces Bruce's breakdown as he and Diana fly off.

(S2) Episode 108: There Can Be Only One

• Dick and Jason spend the whole time at the fair competing over who Lian likes more.
• At the ring toss game, one of the prizes is Bunny Nightwing.
• At the end, Roy reveals that Lian invited them both because she knew that they'd compete like that and spoil her rotten in the process, saying that he's proud of her. Lian, in the car, sports an evil grin.
  Roy: She played you two like a drum. I've never been more proud.
  • The fact Roy knew the whole time and did absolutely nothing to stop it from happening.
  • Even with the knowledge they were taken for a ride by a little girl, Jason and Dick are still more concerned with who she prefers more.
  • In the final panel, Dick and Jason have gotten into a Big Ball of Violence over whether or not Lian will join the Titans or Outlaws. Roy drives away, facepalming at his two friends fighting like little boys in the background.

(S2) Episode 109: PhD

• Harley tries to defend the importance of education to a skeptical Damian but can't stop putting her foot in her mouth by citing Morally Ambiguous Doctorates like Poison Ivy and Scarecrow.
