A fight with Condiment King ruins Batman's suit, so he asks Batwoman to go and get him a replacement. Batman quickly learns why it's a bad idea to trust his cousin and children with his wardrobe...
Tropes:
- Bragging Rights Award: A non-video-game example; Red Hood tells the other two that they have five minutes to pick out the most hideous replacement suit and the winner gets "bragging rights for eternity."
- The Comically Serious: Being clad in a rainbow-colored cape and cowl doesn't keep Batman from delivering serious monologues and striking dramatic poses, even as Gordon struggles to keep himself from laughing.
- Continuity Nod: The fact that Batman's suit is ruined thanks to Condiment King is a reference to how Nightwing was annoyed that Condiment King ruined his suit the last time they fought. This might also be why Nightwing was completely on board with getting Batman's most embarrassing suit.
- Crazy-Prepared: Batman keeps an entire lead-lined closet full of backup suits for any occasion...a lot of which are pretty silly-looking. This finally backfires on him in this episode.
- Exact Words: Batman asked for a spare suit. He didn't say which one...
- The Gadfly: Red Hood starts things by reminding Nightwing and Batwoman of the secret costume closet, and all of them happily go with the plan to tweak Batman by sending him a goofy-looking replacement suit.
- Graceful Loser: Batwoman and Red Hood are happy to agree that Nightwing won the competition.
- Mythology Gag: Some of the suits in the closet are nods to older Batman costume designs.
- A Rare Sentence: At the end, after seeing Rainbow-Batman, Commissioner Gordon says something he almost never says:Commissioner: I love this job. (snaps a photo)
- Worth It: Batwoman declares that she doesn't regret anything as her cousin glowers at her.
