#yeah I love JL plus hidden identity plus the batkids it’s amazing

It’s even worse when dick is Batman and for some reason one of the robins needs to be involved. Because usually, maybe damian, specifically isn’t super affectionate with the “usual” Batman, but they DO occasionally hear the little boy call Batman Dad.

And then Dick!batman is doing JL stuff and suddenly robin and Batman are hanging off each other and Batman is carrying the little robin around and chatting and laughing and PLAYING and then there will suddenly be an “EUGH YOUR NOT MY DAD BATMAN” and everybody is just even more confused.

They need to start keeping track of what the hell is going on, here.

Or little robin walking up to superman like “hey can superboy come over for dinner tonight and a sleepover I want to show him this new game I got”

And superman is just “sure kid, but you should ask your da- I mean Batman”

So Robin just pulls out his cellphone or smth and calls someone and then goes “father can superboy sleep over tonight I want to show him that game you got me” while Batman is just standing there grinning and looking like he’s on the verge of tears bc OMG damian wants his friend to sleep over.

All these little casual slip-ups that reasonably these kids would never make, but it’s so easy to have random little mess ups like that constantly when you mix your family with your Super Secret Identities

Dick having to be Batman for the first time at a JL meeting and he’s so good at it that almost nobody notices. He’s studied and watched Bruce for years, and when he’s focusing hard enough it’s impossible for anyone who isn’t specifically looking to tell the difference.

Of course, that’s except for superman. Who has memorized Bruce’s AND dicks heartbeats and knows obviously how to tell the difference between his best friend boyfriend colleague and dick his son who he’s known since the man was a child. So at the end of the meeting they’re sitting around talking and dick and Clark fall into some old natural banter, since of course dick realizes Clark knows and he’s not going to bother to try to pretend otherwise when he’s talking only to him. And maybe it’s Oliver or Hal or one of the other members who just don’t know Batman’s identity yet, but know that superman and Batman are really close and have that whole homoerotic thing going on. So someone makes a joke about how “superman and the bat are flirting again” and superman just. Scrunches up his face in this most grossed out look anyone has ever seen and just goes THAT IS MY CHILD???

And that’s how the JLA gets confused and thinks that Batman is actually supermans son. It takes months for them to realize that’s definitely not the case when they find superman and Batman (actually bruce this time) WAY too close in some closet somewhere.

Poor jla hero’s never able to figure out what the hell is going on here
