"It’s like I don’t send him the latest gadgets every month. Unbelievable.”
Bruce Wayne/The Batman

Finally tracking down the mysterious person who has been messing with his infrastructure and stealing his weapons, Bruce is dismayed to find his wayward son Jason pulling pranks.

Tropes

  • Crazy-Prepared: Bruce Wayne is the Batman so of course he has alarms on his safehouses...and when they keep getting raided without the alarms being tripped, he sets up another alarm.
  • Fair-Play Whodunnit: The reader is given the clues that the mystery raider hasn't been setting off the alarms and is bold enough to steal from Batman in broad daylight. The thief turns out to be Jason Todd, who was trained by Batman himself and became Robin after stealing the Batmobile's wheels.
  • The Gadfly: Jason steals Bruce’s weapons mostly for a laugh.
  • Inner Monologue: Except for a conversation near the end, the episode is narrated as Bruce’s thoughts.
  • It Amused Me: This turns out to be Jason’s primary reason for theft.
  • The Prankster: Jason messes with Bruce’s weapons and technology to amuse himself.
  • Refuge in Audacity: Jason grabs a grenade from the warehouse right in front of Batman before leaving.
  • The Reveal: The person behind the thefts turned out to be Jason.
  • Shout-Out: When Jason comes out of the bathroom (revealing himself as the thief), he and Batman do the pointing pose from the Spider-Man meme.
