Batman, pre identity reveal goes to the Watchtower for some buisness. Dick is going through a phase, and insists to come with him, but only hanging to his leg like a koala. He relents, his cape is big enough to cover him, after all.
Later, Flash comes up to him. “Hey, can you take a look at this?”
He reaches his hand out through his cape, exposing Dick as Robin for Flash to see.
“Is that a child?” Flash asked.
“Hrrn.” He grunts.
“Hi!” Dick grins, wide and feral.
After that, it becomes tradition for every few years, Batman hid children under his cape. He simply rolled his eyes as every single one of his children cling to his legs, stomach, and arms like koalas. It was weight training. Nothing was going on. He certainly didn’t want to listen to them complaining later on.
A few years after the first incident, Green Lantern came up to him to ask him something. Only to hear a snicker from Batman’s cape. GL tried to ignore it. He really did. But after a while, the snickers became quiet laughter, and GL could swear he heard “uno.”
So GL pulls back the cape. Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, Robin, and Spoiler were under the cape. Each one had uno cards in their hand and looked very annoyed at GL’s interruption.
“Do you mind?” Nightwing asked.
“I knew we shouldn’t have left Signal and Black Bat at home.” Orphan complained.
“Black Bat almost gave Superman a heart attack last time she came with us.” Nightwing pointed out.
“Tt. Signal is too bright to hide under the cape.” Robin added.
“You have a problem, Batman.” Green Lantern looked at the Bat.
“The only problem he has is annoying green turds disrupting our game.” Red hood grabbed the cape and dropped it back over them, and the shuffling of cards could just barely be heard.
