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 Creator/GrantMorrison. It also occasionally features other DC superheroes and their respective sidekicks/kids.
