Recap / Batman Wayne Family Adventures Episode 31 Dirty Little Secret

Go To

Damian actively gathers blackmail material on every member of the family... but he can't find anything on Jason. He needs to fix that...

Tropes

  • Annoying Younger Sibling: Damian irritates Jason when he follows him on patrol.
  • Blackmail Backfire: An example where the backfire occurs before the blackmail demand is even made. Damian crows over finding Jason's big secret - he reads Jane Austen. Instead of being embarrassed at the idea of having this exposed, Jason shrugs it off like it's no big deal.
  • Crazy-Prepared: Damian has files on everyone, barring Alfred, so that he can use their dirty secrets to avoid being forced into doing their chores.
  • Dark Secret: Subverted. Jason's reading habits are not the embarrassing secret that Damian thinks they are. Played straight at the end when Damian asks Jason not to tell anyone they hung out.
  • Didn't See That Coming: Damian thinks that he's made Jason quiver in his boots when he finds evidence that Jason reads Jane Austen... Jason then goes, "Yeah. So?"
  • Hidden Depths: Jason Todd likes Jane Austen's works. Nor is he embarrassed by this fact, despite Damian believing otherwise.
  • Not So Above It All: Damian ends up admitting that, yeah, Jason's books aren't as bad as he thought they'd be.
  • Shipper on Deck: Inverted; after accepting Jason's suggestion that he read Pride and Prejudice, Damian remarks that he doesn't trust Wickham, saying that he's a bad match for Elizabeth.
