Recap / Batman Wayne Family Adventures Episode 25 Front Seat

Go To

"One of these days, we're going to figure it out.”
Batman

After defeating Mr. Freeze, Batman offers Red Hood, Nightwing, Red Robin, and Robin a ride home in the Batmobile. The four argue over who gets the front seat.

Tropes

  • Appeal to Popularity: When Dick claims that he automatically has a claim on the front seat due to being the oldest, Tim asks who says that, and Dick answers that everyone does. That is thoroughly unconvincing to Damian, who thinks that the majority of people are morons.
  • Bigger on the Inside: Averted. The backseat of the Batmobile is not big enough to comfortably hold four vigilantes, forcing the younger bats to squeeze together to fit.
  • Calling Shot Gun: Red Hood, Red Robin, Nightwing, and Robin all call shotgun at the same time. They spend the rest of the episode fighting over who deserves the front seat.
  • Never Heard That One Before: Jason is really tired of hearing Damian call himself "the superior Robin". To make matters worse, Damian has apparently said it multiple times that very evening.
  • Sibling Rivalry: The fight over who gets to ride shotgun in the Batmobile happens a lot.
  • Symbol Swearing: As the argument reaches a peak, symbols appear in midair to indicate swearing.
  • Visible Silence: When Batman asks if they decided who gets shotgun, the younger bats answer with ellipses.
