Bruce picking his robins up by the scruff of there neck (collar or cape) and doesnât stop even when they got older. Like dick is onto a few inches off his but that isnât stopping him
There are fan accounts dedicated to it. Snapping pictures of Batman dragging his Robins away by the scruff of their neck.
Dick had a habit of, so long as they weren't in immediate danger if he messed around, flipping upside down and hanging like a koala.
Jason would just pout and glare, his little lip jutting out adorably.
Tim would just cross his arms and glare back.
Steph always kicked. Bruce had to hold her so far out from his body that one time Mr Freeze blasted by and snatched her off him and Steph howled with laughter while Bruce chased after.
Damian just hangs there like a pissed off cat and takes the lecture.
If it's not to immobilise them for a lecture, if it was to get them out of danger, it only went two ways. If Bruce didn't immediately bring them close to latch onto his armour while he legs it, it means they're getting thown.
At a villain, out of a blast zone, towards an ally, they're not always sure where they're ending up, but they know they're being thrown.
Dick adores it, when he's older. It reminds him off the old days, when it was just him and Bruce. It's harder to grab him without the cape and collar, but Bruce always finds a way to make it work. It feels like flying again, and he'll never object.
Jason didn't know he could still be grabbed by his scruff until he was running to the extraction point and suddenly he's plucked off his feet and yanked into the helicopter above him by his scruff.
Cass giggles every time she's grabbed. It scares the shit out of villains, but she can't help it. She likes being thrown as an attack move.
Tim resents that he's still so easily tossable. Doesn't let the others throw him unless it's a tactical necessity. Takes great pleasure in launching Damian, somehow it morphed into bonding. They are not allowed to do it inside the manor.
Bruce scruffs Steph and she kicks him out of habit. Both of them freeze, and she laughs so hard he has to put her down and let her catch her breath. Cluemaster is in the background frowning at them waiting for them to indulge his questions.
Damian is scared, when he starts to grow taller, that he won't be able to be scruffed anymore. Tim sees it when Damian hesitates before letting himself be thrown when they're playing, and snitches to Bruce. He gets scruffed more than necessary, and tries not to smile.
Duke gets scruffed for the first time and freaks out. Goes stiff as a board as Bruce sprints away with him, and is trembling when he's eventually set down. "What the fuck?!"
Duke, slightly older, doesn't have the innate trust that comes from being a tiny Robin under Batman's wing. Can't see Bruce's intentions in every movement like Cass, so didn't react well. The solution is then training so he's used to it, as it's an incredibly useful maneouvre, so the entire family traipses up to the Watchtower because they have rooms padded on every surface including the ceiling.
The JL are curious why the entire batfamily is on the Watchtower to train, and spy on them to see. Suffuce to say, they are not expecting to see the kids in a line ready for Bruce to lob them across the room, each one explaining to Duke what that one did right/wrong and how to account for it.
