headcanon that after Dick Grayson being Robin all of the batkids interchangeably use “holy ____ batman” even at the worst possible moments

Steph, staring down at Tim in the medbay cot: holy common cold, batman

Tim: please stop

Steph: holy spleenless sillybilly batman

Tim: steph please

Jason Todd on the floor, bruised and bloodied: dad?

(The timer ticks down to three seconds)

Jason: well holy shitballs batman I’m going to fucking di-

KABOOM

[vespertilionis]

While Damian’s twitter is serious and used to present himself to the public, his insta account is filled with Alfred the cat, Batcow and other animals he sees on patrol.

Some of those animals are (supposedly) extinct. Whenever interviewers ask about it, his responses don’t clarify anything.

“Damian, you recently posted a picture of you with a Tasmanian Tiger, a species that went extinct 88 years ago. How did you find one, when researches have been searching for years?”

“They should have looked closer.”

[phoneduk]

[Jason panic searching his room]

Jason: "WHERE IS IT?!"

Tim : "what is *it*?

Jason: "You would know if saw it! Just help me look!"

Dick: "Hey, let's just calm down. What are we looking for?"

Jason: "I bought home an injured snake yesterday on patrol and I was planning on dropping it off at the vet today."

Dick: "that's not so bad."

Jason: "If Damian finds it we're going to have a pet snake. And you're the only one he would trust to feed it."

[Jason, Dick and Tim frantically searching the manor.]

Meanwhile

[Damian in the cave full Robin costume with snake around his shoulders - Maniacal laughter.]

Bruce suddenly sits straight up in his seat in the watch tower, a full body shiver taking over him.

Bruce: "Somethings wrong"

[ckalaveram]

iPad kid Damian (ik its a phone…but shhhh) and batcow

Also Damian isn’t mad he’s just focused on his game

Also I just found out wiggles exists AND NO ONE TOLD ME??? This is a criminal offence, I will be drawing Damian and wiggles in the near future. Probably multiple times

[kartsie]

Animal lover Damian Wayne is so important

[allthegothihopgirls]

HE'S JUST A BABY OHMYGODDDD

[rad-batson]

Tim: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING??!!

Damian: Dick said he wants me to try acting my age

Tim: So you’re having a tea party with your pet cow in the living room?!

Damian: I looked it up. Kids have tea parties. I’m having a tea party.

Tim: Why are you doing this??

Damian: To get a good grade in acting my age, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve.

Alfred: Would Master Batcow care for some more finger sandwiches?

[heylosers06]

I totally need to draw wiggles next

A Quick Guide to Damian’s Furry/Feathered/Scaled Companions

LEFT: R:SOB #1 Cover RIGHT: R:SOB #6

GOLIATH THE BAT DRAGON

Introduced in: ROBIN: SON OF BATMAN (2015) #1

DAMIAN'S BABY AND BEASTY BESTIE!! On a mission during the Year of Blood, Damian kills the family of bat dragons guarding his objective. Goliath, despite being the youngest and last of his kind, forgives Damian. Goliath goes on to become one of Damian's most loyal companions, even featuring beside him in Batman Beyond (2016) #10, #11, #43-#47!

LEFT: B&R #13 RIGHT: B&R #4

TITUS THE DOG

Introduced in: BATMAN AND ROBIN (2011) #2

A Great Dane gifted to Damian from Bruce as an effort in fatherhood. Funny enough, Damian finds him a nuisance at first and briefly refers to him as "Dog". Titus is a good boy that follows Damian's every step, even joining Bruce on his mission to resurrect Damian!

LEFT: Batman Inc #1 RIGHT: Batman Inc #7

BAT-COW THE COW

Introduced in: BATMAN INCORPORATED (2012) #1

Bat-Cow, branded with a star signifying which cattle were contaminated, was saved from a slaughterhouse to run some tests (which they do find of a mind control variety). Damian declares himself a vegetarian, and calls her Bat-Cow! She also sorta has a running gag of literally standing in the face of danger to save the day.

LEFT: Batman Inc #6 RIGHT: Batman Inc #7

ALFRED THE CAT

Introduced in: BATMAN INCORPORATED (2012) #6

Considered a "hopeless case" by the animal shelter, Alfred gifts him to Damian. The cat is a bold lil guy, which Damian takes an immediate liking to, and names him Alfred (likely because tuxedo cat = butler lol). After hours of chicken, playtime, and scratches, Damian and Alfred become friends! He makes his first appearance alongside Damian’s first appearance as Batman in BATMAN (1940) #666

LEFT: Batman: Li'l Gotham #2/#1 RIGHT: Batman: Li'l Gotham #23/#12

*JERRY THE TURKEY

Introduced in: BATMAN LI'L GOTHAM (2012) #2 (Digital) #1 (Printed)

The Penguin unleashes an army of turkeys at the Gotham Thanksgiving parade which Damian turns into his own li'l turkey march by playing the trumpet. He ends up bringing one of them back for Thanksgiving dinner (as a friend), and Jerry becomes a fairly regular appearance in the world of Li'l Gotham!

*WIGGLES THE DRAGON

Introduced in: NIGHTWING (2016) #42

A sort of filler issue where Damian has been kidnapped for his blood by the "Crimson Kabuki" in Tokyo, and Dick goes through a series of boss battles to save him. The dragon's blood has been the group's main source of power, so it ends up teaming with the duo, and returns home with them.

Wiggles was originally named by a fan, "Shanootnoot" on Twitter!

*Goliath, Titus, Bat-Cow, and Alfred the cat have been Damian's main canon cast of furry companions, but SUPER-PETS SPECIAL: BITEDENTITY CRISIS (2024) may have just added Jerry and Wiggles!!

[trying-out-stuff]

Big spoilers for the superpets special for Damian's pets but Wiggles, Goliath, Bat-cow, Titus, Alfred and Jerry are back in main canon !

But also omg they felt abandoned by Damian because he put them (or more precisely Bruce) in a refuge (that they both trusted to take care of them) that sold them to a biotech company while damian had his year off out of Gotham ...

I can't, they mean so much to me and to Damian, I hope we see them in PKJ upcoming batman and robin run because I can not take anymore no mention of them at allllll.

[spicy-apple-pie]

I think that Damian and Duke need to have more bonding moments

[p1nkshield]

Damian: FATHER!

Bruce: Yes Damian?

Damian: Why did you not INFORM ME THAT A COW IS NOT A REASONABLE THING TO BRING TO SHOW AND TELL?

Bruce: I tried to tell you buddy but you wouldn’t hear it.

Tim in a high pitched imitating Damian: “Batcow is a distinguished member of society!”

Jason also imitating Damian: “Who better to show and tell about than my trustworthy bovine!”

Dick: Hey at least it adds to the cover. I can see the headlines now! “Brucie Wayne is so rich and disconnected from regular life that he lets youngest take pet cow to show and tell!”

Damian: >:(

Bruce:…

Jason still imitating Damian: tt! You’ve made me look like an utter fool father! Harrumph!

Damian: RRRAAAAGH!
