Millennial Battinson and Generation-Alpha Dick Grayson:
Bruce, trying to introduce a nine year old Dick Grayson to Nirvana, which is totally age-appropriate and not at all irresponsible: Music is important to me. It helps me express myself. Keeps the darkness within me from consuming my soul.
Dick: oh ye I like music too!!
Bruce: Hn. What do you li-
Dick, twirling around: ~We don't talk about Bruno, no no no~
Bruce, seeing that Dick is sad: Do you want to watch a movie?
Bruce, grinning a little tiny bit: Okay. *puts on Aladdin (1992)*
Dick: This isn’t Aladdin, this is a cartoon.
Dick, leaning against Bruce as he works on a case: Can you get me a Pop-It?? Everyone at school has them!
Dick: A pop-it!! It's a fidget toy with little bubbles you can pop in and out! My teacher said I would probably like one.
Bruce: Okay? *hands Dick his credit card*
Dick, going on his iPad: Okay thankie!! I'm getting the unicorn.
Bruce, looking over Dick's shoulder: ...willyougetmeonetoo
Dick: Do you want a dino one?
Dick: Everyone at school has Pokémon cards except me :(
Bruce: *stands up, exits Batcave, returns ten minutes later with shoebox full of Pokémon cards*
Bruce: Do not lose my first edition Charzard.
Bruce: Delivery. Alfred is busy.
Bruce and Dick, in tandem: Chicken tenders.
Dick: ...Everyone at school made Mother's Day cards and I had to do a coloring page instead.
Bruce, shuffling, eyes fixed on the ground: Do you...want to go get ice cream? Alfred always got me ice cream on Mother's Day.
Dick: ...okay, Bruce. Let's go get ice cream.
Bruce: *grins, still not making eye contact*
Dick: And then we can watch Encanto again?
Bruce, who has every single line to that movie memorized and who has had the goddamned Bruno song stuck in his head for three (3) months: Sure. We can watch Encanto again.
