#wdym a 40 year old Bruce was born in 1985

I'm listening to ABBA again and that never means anything good for anyone

Imagine the Batfam all doing their own Bat Things in the cave, just existing in the same space. The kids convinced Bruce to play music over the speakers, he agreed only because he's doing work on the bat computer and therefore has ultimate control over the music.

Chiquitita comes on and Bruce swiftly moves his hand to change the song.

Dick: Ah, actually B, could we keep this song on? ABBA always makes me feel closer to my mom, and this in particular was one of her favorite songs.

Jason: Weird Dickie, ABBA was my mom's favorite band too.

Bruce: Hn. They were my mothers favorite too, that's why I was changing it.

Jason: Of course, Old Man, cant expect you to let yourself feel an emotion, after all, can you?

Tim: Not to interrupt your regularly scheduled make-fun-of-Batman enrichment time Jay, but ABBA was my mom's favorite too. She would play Money, Money, Money every time she got ready for any big business deal.

Duke: Okay, that's really weird? My parents danced to I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do at their wedding. 5 of our moms having the same favorite band is a wild ass coincidence.

Steph: 6 actually.... *narrows her eyes and looks around the room* Well, at least we don't have to worry about The Daughter of the Demon liking ABBA.

Damian: And to no one's surprise, Brown is confidently wrong once again. *dodges a thrown book* Mother never found ABBA as frivolous as other western music, for whatever reason.

Cass: I don't believe Lady Shiva has ever listened to music before so I think I'm out of this one.

Tim: Ahh, sorry Cass but Shiva did actually play music during our training at times, and ABBA was on heavy rotation.

Cass: :(

Bruce: Hnnnn

*music cuts out*

Barbara, over the speakers: Before any of you pull out some ridiculous conspiracy theory revolving around 80's Swedish Pop sensation ABBA, let me remind you that they are literally peak Mom Music. Moms love ABBA, it's not weird. It's hardly even a coincidence. I would be more surprised if your mothers DIDN'T listen to ABBA when you were growing up.

(Bruce is still compiling a file of possible ways ABBA could be used for evil.)
