"Someone please kill me again."
— Jason Todd/Red Hood
Batman forgets to mute his comm before getting flirty with Catwoman, to everyone's horror.
Tropes
- Actually Pretty Funny: Despite the mood being killed, Catwoman finds Batman’s reaction to the situation hilarious.
- Brain Bleach: Spoiler, Red Hood, and Red Robin are visibly horrified at overhearing Batman's flirting.
- Children Are Innocent: Damian doesn't understand why his siblings are all freaking out. Wasn't Batman simply trying to arrest Catwoman?
- Disability Immunity: Damian's lack of social skills works in his favor for once, keeping him from comprehending the intercepted transmission that is currently driving his siblings to hysterics.
- Entendre Failure: Damian utterly fails to pick up on the flirtatious subtext.
- How Much Did You Hear?: A variant; upon hearing that he left his comm line open while getting romantic with Catwoman, Batman anxiously asks Oracle how many of his children were listening. She can't bring herself to answer, but Spoiler, Red Hood, and Robin make it perfectly clear that they heard.
- Interrupted Intimacy: Batman and Catwoman end one of their chases with innuendo-laden banter that was clearly leading into something more... until Bruce realizes that he left his comm-link open, his family heard everything, and they have gained a serious need for Brain Bleach (except for Damian, who failed to pick up on the subtext).
- Is This Thing Still On?: All this wouldn't have happened had Batman remembered to mute his microphone. At the end, Oracle mutes it, but by that time, the damage has already been done.
- Moment Killer: Just as Bruce is about to kiss Selina, Stephanie screams for the horror to stop and then Barbara tells him he left his comm on. After realizing most of his kids overheard everything (and will resultantly tease him mercilessly), Batman isn't in the mood anymore.
- Parental Sexuality Squick: Batman's poor kids end up overhearing him flirting with Catwoman. Tim curls up in a corner to cry; Stephanie shudders, and Jason asks someone to re-kill him. Damian is the only exception — and that's because he didn't recognize it for what it was.
- Playful Pursuit: The first part of the story shows Batman easily keeping pace with Catwoman as she roof-hops. He ends up cornering her against a building and saying playfully that he has ideas about what to do now that he's caught her...which is when the rest of the Batfamily breaks in.
- Too Much Information: The title of this episode, in which Batman flirts with Catwoman while not realizing that he'd left his comm open... with most of his proteges/children listening. Spoiler declares it to be the worst thing ever; Red Robin is left crying in a corner; Red Hood begs for someone to kill him again, and Damian innocently asked if he was going to arrest her.
- Troubled Fetal Position: Red Robin is curled up and crying.
- Unsound Effect: Spoiler shivers in revulsion, which gets represented in-panel as "shudder".
- Would Rather Suffer: After overhearing his adoptive father playfully chasing down Catwoman and generally being flirty with her, Red Hood asks for someone to kill him again.
