worthyheir | [Video] Bat 001

[An annoyed boy of 10 sits in front of his computer. He has messy black hair partially covered by a hood over his head, and is wearing a domino mask that covers his eyes. He has perfect posture, which enables the camera to catch the upper portion of his Robin costume, complete with its signature “R.”]

All right, Batman, this isn’t funny. You and I both know that the Joker is too dangerous to let live, but I knew you would be against my plan, which is why I waited for you to be away. I was trying to protect you from liability. I had no idea that you would go this far to protect him. Where did you send me? Did you enlist Zatanna to bring me here? Or perhaps Raven? Either way, I demand that you end this foolishness and bring me back right now. This is too much, even for you.

[Damian crosses his arms and his eyes narrow.]

I learned my lesson, Batman, and I demand you bring me back.

[He holds out the crowbar covered in blood to the camera.]

I'll even let you have the crowbar back. Happy?

I've been trying to do that already.

It's precisely because he's a good guy I can see him taking me on as some sort of charity work.

Then keep at it. You've been trying for what, weeks? It took over a year for Tim to start trusting me, and I'm his best friend.

I doubt he'd toss out Tim for the purpose of "charity work."

It was hard to try when Drake's been off globetrotting.

Hmph.

Tim's good at being hard to reach. He comes back eventually, it would probably go better if you stopped trying to beat him up. Besides, you're doing good. Whether Tim approves or not doesn't change that.

That's the closest I'm gonna get to a 'you have a point,' isn't it?

I only attacked him because he was going to come after me. It's self-preservation.

It's "I do not wish to have this conversation with you any further."

What did you do to make him come after you? Tim isn't just gonna attack for no reason.

Sure, Robin, whatever you say.

He had me on his list. He was knocking off the "real" criminals one at a time, and then he was heading for me. I decided to nip it in the bud.

You don't know that for sure. Tim thinks is strange ways, they were probably backup plans. Hell, you should be proud he thinks you could be a threat. It means he needs a plan to take you down, you're that good.

On that note, Tim is an idiot sometimes and he can defend himself, I don't know enough about this thing to say anything.

You weren't on that list, so you must not be that good.

Yeah, that must be it. [sarcasm]

As much as it kinda sucks, Tim already knows how to take me down. He doesn't need a list for it.

No one he liked was on that list.

He probably knows how to take us all out.

If this is some attempt to comfort me or something, stop. It's not working.

Would a hug help?

Why would you want to hug me?

[Only knows what a hug is from observation.]

Hugs make people feel better. You do know what a hug is, right?

Don't patronize me, Kent! ...Of course I do.

You can call me Conner, you know. And I know how antisocial you Bats can be, it was a legit question.

You have had a hug, right? I mean, I can't see Papa Bat hugging anyone but...
