“ROBINS AFTER DARK – EPISODE 9: RANKING GOTHAM VIGILANTES BY SNACK CHOICE”
(feat. Signal, Red Hood, Spoiler & a total disregard for podcasting ethics)
[Intro music: static, then someone aggressively beatboxing the Batman theme]
“Welcome back to Robins After Dark, Gotham’s worst podcast. Broadcasting live from the Cave. Stolen mic. Zero rules.”
“Today’s topic: What you eat after 2 a.m. says more about your trauma than therapy ever will.”
“Tonight’s guest: The Daylight, the Drama, the only one here with a consistent skincare routine—Signal!”
[Signal enters with tactical shades and a Capri Sun.]
“You dragged me out of bed for this.”
“He eats it mid-flip. Thinks it’s healthy. It’s 80% chocolate.”
“He’s pretending to be functional. He’s not. There are atleast three broken bones and a smile.”
“He offered me dried cranberries and a warning once.”
Red Robin – Cold pizza and black coffee.
“His diet is literally ‘emergency at all times.’”
“Do you know how many times I’ve seen him eat crust and mutter, ‘justice never sleeps’? He sleeps never.”
“He tried to replace my electrolytes with Monster Energy. I fought him.”
Robin – Plain almonds and wrath.
“Once saw him eat a raw bell pepper on a stakeout like a cartoon villain.”
“Called my Pop-Tarts ‘commoner food.’”
“He judges snacks like they insulted his honor.”
Batman – Black coffee and empty silence.
“Man once turned down a sandwich because it had ‘too much personality.’”
“He looked at a granola bar like it was emotionally vulnerable.”
“I gave him nightwings trail mix. He handed me a mission report.”
Oracle – Goldfish crackers and side-eyes.
“Eats them while hacking the NSA and roasting your grammar.”
“She doesn’t snack. She tactically nibbles.”
“She carries them in a utility pouch. Respect.”
Orphan – Dried mango and quiet power.
“She offered me one, mid-fight, and then suplexed a guy. I cried.”
“She is nourishment incarnate.”
“I once watched her eat a mango and walk through fire. Unbothered. Untouchable.”
Signal – Apple slices and hot chips.
“Chaos and vitamins. You contain multitudes.”
“You bring Takis into the Cave and still lecture us about hydration.”
“Its because I’m almost always correct and im luminous.”
Red Hood – Beef jerky and vengeance.
“You don’t eat. You conquer that shit”
“You once dipped Slim Jims in espresso. That’s not okay.”
“Pain builds character. And strong jawlines. Id know. Trust me.”
Spoiler – Pocky and emotional damage.
“She eats twelve in a row then kicks a war criminal in the neck.”
“You’re basically fueled by purple rage and sugar.”
“I am the serotonin Gotham doesn’t deserve but needs so desperately.”
“He just fell into the Zeta Tube again.”
“Throw a granola bar down there. He’ll stabilize. Probably ”
And that's it for today with the Robins after Dark and our human daylight Signal
