History YMMV / BatmanAndSons

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Jason Todd was one of the least-liked Robins, to the point where fans actually voted to have him killed off. However, this version of him seems to have gone over much better with readers. The softening his character got from Chaotic Neutral (at best) to merely ChaoticGood but selfish and as a middle child acting out for attention helps.

* DudeNotFunny: The ''Ace in the hole'' ark is full of this, as it cranks the BlackComedy meter UpToEleven by killing a ton of pets through its pages.

** IronWoobie: Tim is the most fragile of Batman's sons... but he's still ''Batman's'' son. And having Jason as a brother probably toughened him up even more. Compare [[http://the-blackcat.deviantart.com/gallery/8472791#/d1ttcdx Aqualad's normal reaction]] to Jason's abuse, but [[http://the-blackcat.deviantart.com/gallery/21632833#/d2ztukb Tim doesn't even cry]].

* DudeNotFunny: The "Ace in the Hole" story arc.
** In-universe, when [[spoiler:Alfred admits to being responsible for the death of the original Ace (for which Batman blamed himself; he actually was responsible for the second one dying), Bats immediately cracked a TheButlerDidIt joke.]] Even Jason just stared at him at this.
** Many readers think that the arc goes too far with the "dead animals" joke, especially when Tim's goldfish die almost immediately after he named him.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Baby Terry.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny:
** To start us off, there's the last strip of the Loeb tribute. Batman interrupts the Scarecrow's obligatory Halloween scheme, and is in turn interrupted (after slamming Scarecrow into a doorbell) by an old lady who mistakes them for trick-or-treaters. One panel of nonplussed eye contact later, they decide to play along.
-->'''Scarecrow''': ''(looking genuinely pleased)'' Ooh, I got a chocolate bar with almonds.
-->'''Batman''': ''(looking genuinely indignant)'' [[ItsTheGreatPumpkinCharlieBrown I got a rock!]]
** Batman dawdling at Arkham to exercise his parenting skills on a captive audience of rogues, much to Penguin's consternation.
-->'''Two-Face''': Bat's got brats.

-->'''Batman''': ''(looking genuinely indignant)'' I got a rock!

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: NeedsWikiMagic!

** She's all dressed for the party and not invited yet!

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Terry has his balloon stolen from him. Does he cry about it? [[http://pics.livejournal.com/the_dark_cat/pic/00065we2/g23 NOPE!]]
--> '''Bruce:''' I'm so proud of him.
** Superman gets a moment [[http://pics.livejournal.com/the_dark_cat/pic/000a9r6d here.]]
** Tim gets a shining moment at the climax of the "Mr. Bat-Mom" storyline, when he calls out Dick and Jason for the pranks they've pulled. Jason scoffs that Tim can't prove any of it...[[http://pics.livejournal.com/the_dark_cat/pic/0009tc5t but Tim proves otherwise.]]
** Tim's AWESOME ownage of the Meta's in ''Rivalry''. Sure he got distracted and showed mercy at the wrong time with Green Arrow's daughter....but, he did amazing. Jason should get a special mention too, after all it's thanks to him that Arrow's girl lost. And he also stopped Speedy/Roy from cutting his dad's grapple pistol.
** This line from Lois Lane..."I may be human, but I'm deadlier than Kryptonite!"
* CrowningMomentOfFunny
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: ''Many'' moments are contenders, but perhaps the biggest one would have to be the end of "Cabbage Patch"

* TearJerker: The entire [[http://the-dark-cat.livejournal.com/13051.html Cabbage Patch]] story, but "Look, [[spoiler:[[http://pics.livejournal.com/the_dark_cat/pic/0005pcgk there's Momma]]]]" ''killed'' this troper, especially since [[spoiler:it his very close to home in terms of what the DC Comics Catwoman has been going through as of late]].
** Also, [[FridgeHorror if you think about it]], [[BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker the events of the comics are]] [[BreakTheCutie probably going to be the happiest part of Tim's life.]]
