Hey Jon when you mentioned Robin's dads being here did you know that they were both Batman?

[solarson]

yeah? he told me so. 😕

[thisisontherecord]

Wait, there are two Batmans here?

[solarson]

that's what robin told me. one older and one younger.

[newsbeat]

Also the same person apparently.
Not two different people claiming the same mantle.
Which is not a thing I realized could happen.

[solarson]

i was also told there's two red hoods here too. or i guess the person who goes by that. they're like robin's older brother. same with nightwing but i found him on my own. i invited him to meet you both.

[thisisontherecord]

Jon just how big is Dam-Robin's family?

Nightwing's welcome, but I'm seriously going to start a bingo card if we're going to be hearing all their superheroic aliases all the time. In fact, it's going on the fridge. Right now.

[newsbeat]

Also do ALL of them know who I am?

[solarson]

i wasn't sure if i was allowed to say their names in case robin got mad at me. and yeah. i'm pretty sure they should. at least the ones i know. nightwing for sure.

[thisisontherecord]

The animal naming convention is fine, Jon, it's not your responsibility to introduce people we've never met.

Presuming by extension they know me and how I relate to at least one if not both of you?

( or don't because she's not MARRIED she's not PLANNING on it right now this is

super )

[solarson]

yeah they know you both. or should. batman and dad are friends even and part of the justice league.

[newsbeat]

League? Not Gang?

[Yes this is the important thing — ]

[solarson]

i mean i guess some people might think you're a gang but you're the justice league.

[thisisontherecord]

Maxwell Lord is funding a superhero collective called the "Justice Gang" in the Hall of Justice he's building, so we don't have anything "Justice League" at the moment. Though Mr. Terrific and Hawkgirl would throw a party for the name upgrade.

[solarson]

am i in trouble for not saying any of this? 😞

[newsbeat]

No, not at all.
It's just very different from what I expected.

[solarson]

i know it's tough for you both here so i wanted to figure it out first with who is here before i just sprang it all on you. i'm sorry.

[thisisontherecord]

Like your dad said, you're not in trouble for knowing different things than we do. You can't know what you don't know, just like we can't know what we don't know. You're doing great kiddo. No apologies needed.

I for one had no idea how linked with Gotham we'd end up being. You I can get, Clark, for me this feels a little like walking into a wall of "congratulations we all know you're dating Superman" out of nowhere.

[newsbeat]

As a point of comparison, where we came from there have been a lot of rumors about a bat metahuman operating in Gotham but I have never actually confirmed them or met him.

Frankly they should be congratulating me :)

[solarson]

wait batman's not a metahuman 😮

[thisisontherecord]

Congratulations, Clark, you're dating Lois Lane.

( she's at least amused. and to jon's point: )

We're a metahuman rich landscape, so people tend to assume that before they're thinking of people pulling a Mr. Terrific with his technologies and the rest.

[solarson]

yeah i guess people would assume that. pretty sure they have. but none of them are metahumans. they're just really good at what they do.

[newsbeat]

Yay for me :)

None of them?
That actually is very impressive.

[solarson]

yeah. my dad says batman gets hit in the head about 28 times a night so he'd have to be good to bounce back from that.

[thisisontherecord]

Dedication and determination can get you to an amazing number of places. Maybe not repeated concussion places but it takes all kinds.

Jon, kiddo, are any of them half-way decent at communication?
