The Batfam sing Dumb Ways To Die
(this is inspired by chapter nine of my Batfam/Avengers crossover fic on Ao3, found here)
So I have a headcanon that the bats like to sing on patrol. They change up the lyrics to different songs to fit their own dramatic selves (It drives Bruce crazy, though he secretly loves it). Their favorite is “Dumb Ways To Die”!
Their rendition goes like this:
Set fire to Robin's cat
Poke a stick at a grumpy bat
Drink Red’s coffee, any day a’the week
Tell Red Hood to turn the other cheek
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to di-ie-ie
So many dumb ways to die
Ask Hood, who wrote Frankenstein
Listen to a Nightwing pick-up line
Tell Robin he’s not the best
Challenge Spoiler to a waffle-eat’n contest
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to di-ie-ie
So many dumb ways to die
Invite a psycho-clown inside
Scratch Black Mask's brand new ride
Ask Superman, for tech support
Insult Agent A’s fresh-baked torte
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to di-ie-ie
So many dumb ways to die
Let Nightwing in the kitchen
Give Red Hood some ammunition
Tell Bats, you got a tattoo
"I wonder, what's this red button do?" (Said by Bruce before proceeding to mute his comms, much to everyone’s amusment)
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to di-ie-ie
So many dumb ways to die
Dress up like a clown during halloween
Tell a Martian your favorite color isn’t green
Stand on the edge of a roof next to Robin
Joyride in the Batmobile while B’s away
Run across Agent A’s flowerbeds
They may not rhyme but they're quite possibly
The dumbest ways to die
The dumbest ways to die
The dumbest ways to di-ie-ie-ie
So many dumb
So many dumb ways to die
