Recap / Batman Wayne Family Adventures Episode 89 Stick Up

Go To

Tim stops at a convenience store during his lunch break, only to run into some familiar faces.

Tropes

  • Actually Pretty Funny: The fact that Tim got captured out of costume again, and was held by three stupid crooks again (the same ones as last time, no less!) has Red Hood laughing out loud.
  • Bruce Wayne Held Hostage: Tim once again gets captured out of costume... by the same guys, no less.
  • But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Averted; Tim, Red Hood, and the criminals all remember each other from last time (despite the fact that it's been at least several months).
  • Call-Back: The robbers are the same group of thugs who kidnapped Tim in "Ransom", much to Tim's annoyance and Jason's amusement.
  • Contrived Coincidence: What are the chances that Tim gets captured again, and held by the same crooks again, and then had Red Hood come to rescue him again?
  • Sequel Episode: To "Ransom".
  • Stupid Crooks: To the robbers' credit, they did take Red Hood's advice from last time and wore masks to their next job... only to ruin it by removing said masks when they recognize Tim.
  • This Is Gonna Suck:
    • Tim when he realizes that the Bat who responded to the call is Red Hood (aka the sibling most likely to tease him for getting captured).
    • When Red Hood prepares to knock out the thugs again, one of them quietly asks for him to at least make it gentle.
  • Would Rather Suffer: Tim asks for the thugs to shoot him rather than deal with Jason's mockery.
  • Worth It: Stated by Jason when he says that he's going to tell everyone about Tim having to be saved from the Stupid Crooks twice, even after Tim says he'll hack all of Jason's stuff in response.
