Inspired by the comic ''TinyTitans'', the-dark-cat/The Black Cat not only portrays Batman as a superhero/crime fighting detective, but also as a single father trying to raise his four sons: Dick, Jason, and Tim (the three most famous Robins), and a baby named [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Terry]]. The comic is not only funny and adorable, but also succeeds at poking fun at topical points in comics, such as the Dark Knight, Batman's 70th Anniversary, and Grant Morrison. It also occasionally features other DC superheroes and their respective sidekicks/kids.
You can read it [[http://the-dark-cat.livejournal.com/ here]] or [[http://the-blackcat.deviantart.com/ here]].

-->'''Barry:''' Wally doesn't want to go to England and learn a new language.

* DaddyDNATest: Bruce did a parental test with Terry to prove he was his son. (Mentioned in 'Back to the Cave' and 'Cabbage Patch'.)
--> '''Batman:''' But you're Daddy's baby! Because Daddy did a blood test with you. Yes I did! Yes I did!
* DeadpanSnarker: Mrs. Wayne.
* FiveFingerDiscount: Done in "Don't Mess with Bats." After a bad day which gets Batman snarky, he gets on the nerves of Jesse Quick, Hourman and Dr. Mid-Nite by showing his hands "are quicker than" their eyes: he snatches Jesse's top while she runs at him, he gets Hourman's hourglass while he's making his threat (Hourman suddenly sees it's gone and on Batman, who goes "Tick Tock"), and he gets Dr. Mid-Nite's goggles, rendering him unable to see--and running into a tree.
* GiveHimANormalLife: Well, Terry's life probably won't be very ''normal,'' but he's at least ''safer'' with Batman than [[spoiler:Catwoman]].
* HypocriticalHumor: Batman rants that Green Arrow rips off everything from him; when Dick points out that Green Arrow has a daughter and he doesn't, he promptly decides to get one.

** Don't forget the one-shot gag in the Fourth of July strip against certain recent developments in the Comicbook/{{Green Lantern}} mythos.
* TheUnfavorite: Tim-- at least when Terry's around. Cat simply means to have Bruce be overprotective since Terry's a baby but Tim really does seem to get the short end of the stick some days.
** Dick gets some of this attitude as well, although not related to Terry, he's just the one that Batman puts the most expectations on.
* WeNamedTheMonkeyJack: [[spoiler: Catwoman named Terry after her first cat.]]
* WeWantOurJerkBack: Dick and Jason feel this way in the ''Bat-Mom'' comic.

Inspired by the comic ''TinyTitans'', the-dark-cat/The Black Cat not only portrays Batman as a superhero/crime fighting detective, but also as a single father trying to raise his four sons: Dick, Jason, and Tim (the three most famous Robins), and a baby named [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Terry]]. The comic is not only funny and adorable, but also succeeds at poking fun at topical points in comics, such as the Dark Knight, Batman's 70th Anniversary, and Grant Morrison. It also occasionally features other DC superheroes and their respective sidekicks/kids.
