Tropes

  • Cheshire Cat Grin: The sole time Damian smiles is when he warns Duke to be wary of Booby Traps.
  • Foreshadowing: Damian shows Duke a family portrait of the Bat-Family, our soon to-be main cast.
  • Lemony Narrator: The text boxes that introduces the characters starts off normally but soon becomes very snarky and opinionated as more characters are introduced.
    Text box: Bruce Wayne. A.K.A. The Freakin’ Batman. Duke’s Mentor
    Text box: Alfred Pennyworth. A.K.A. The Butler. He’s the best of them.
    Text box: Damian Wayne. A.K.A. Robin. He’s still working on his people skills.
  • Lethal Chef: According to Damian, Bruce is banned for life from the kitchen by Alfred.
  • Naïve Newcomer: Duke is newer to the vigilante gig than even Damian who he is older than so numerous things about superhero life in genesis are explained to him.
  • Sarcasm-Blind: When Duke asks Damian what the T-Rex Robot is for, he blankly replies “It eats intruders”. Duke happily declares that to be cool. He doesn't realize that it was sarcasm until he mentions it to Bruce.
  • Welcome Episode: The episode is about Duke being ushered into Wayne Manor, officially joining the Batman Family as its newest member.
