Barbara: That’d be like asking me to pick a favourite brother.

Dick is…we’ve had our ups and downs. But I’m closer to him than just about anyone. He’s fun, and he’s kind, and he’s frustrating, and he’s dense. We’ve been friends, we’ve been lovers, but I think we’re more family than anything. Maybe that’s why it never works out.

Jason…God, Jason. He was one cocky, mouthy little kid, let me tell you. But he made me laugh. He cared so much - that’s why he got angry, got reckless. That’s why he does what he does now, I think, at the heart of it. I wish I could have helped him then and I wish I could now.

Tim - I didn’t want to get close to Tim, really, not at first. Not after Jason. But he made it hard. This brilliant, determined little - little dork - and then we were talking about C&C and the best camera angles… I miss having him around the clock tower. (Well, come to that, I miss the clock tower.)

Damian, well. Damian’s difficult. I don’t really know the kid, not yet. But I plan to. He’s done a hell of a thing, turning his back on his own mother - though I’m still looking into possible cloning or replacements there - to be a hero.

Cass: Can’t picks favourites…out of family. But I - know Tim the best. He and Steph are…my Robins.

He told me, once, that…I’d - intimidated him. Not because…I could kill. But because - I turned myself…into a hero anyway. And he…apologised, and asked to be friends.

That’s…who Tim is.

Steph: I know Tim best, too. And I love him, really - he was the first person who made me feel special and wanted, he was there for me through some really tough times - but it’s…there’s resentment there too. There’s hurt. There’s just…a lot of stuff between us that we haven’t worked out.

On the other hand, there’s Damian. I mean - I know he’s a little brat to me, but it’s not like it really hurts. He lashes out at everybody, it’s just what he does. And that - makes me feel for him, more than me. I never thought I’d get all protective over Batman’s baby assassin, but there you go.

I mean, it’s not like I never want to knock him over the head, but that’s normal, right? For…

Barbara: For family.

Barbara: Bruce. Because it’s fun.

Cass: Tim. He - needs fun.

Steph: Damian! Because it would be hilarious. And I bet he has no idea what a prank is, which is a travesty that should be corrected.

Stephanie: I. Wow. You guys -

Thanks.

Barbara: How can I describe the male Robins? They’re…irritating, fun, exasperating, inspiring - and I love every one of them. …Well, not quite there yet with Damian, no. But I do care about him, and I worry about him.

Bruce, well, is Bruce. He can be infuriating. He can be condescending and pig-headed and callous and self-absorbed. But beneath all that - he’s a good man, who loves his family and his city. Who inspired me to put the symbol of Gotham’s hope on my chest. That’s what Batman really is, you know: hope.

And Alfred, well. Who couldn’t love Alfred?

Steph: Well - my first meeting with Alfred didn’t go too well. But when I was Robin…he actually treated me like… He made me feel welcome.

Tim, well, we all know how complicated that one is. I - looking back I know it was pretty far from perfect but - I don’t regret falling for him, and I think I’ll always love him. I hope we can be friends again someday.

I’ve always wished I knew Dick better, and Jason at all. I think…I’m kind of like both of them. In really different ways. And it seems to me like Jason could have used someone who understands.

Damian. Gosh, Damian. I never thought I’d get this fond of the little hellspawn, but - he’s just a kid, you know? A kid who never got to be a kid, and he needs people to help him just…learn to be human. And, you know, learn not to spout sexist crap.

And Bruce…I always wanted to meet Batman, when I was little. And then I did, and he was - kind of a jerk? But still a hero, so. Crossed wires all over the place. And then sometimes it was good and sometimes it really wasn’t, and - yeah, this is even more complicated than Tim.

Cass: Bruce is not…perfect. I - know that now. But he’s - family. Gave me…purpose. With Barbara. All I - Batman is - I’m a Batman now.

Dick and Tim are family, too. Dick is - kind. Tim - knows so much. I - wish I could see them more.

Damian…is still young. There’s a lot - he needs to learn. And to - un-learn. I would like to help.

Alfred is…Alfred.
