small damian with the family

was reading batman and robin v2 and there’s this panel of damian hanging upside down in front of bruce, pestering him to teach him some move, and this being a thing damian does. he swings a bit sometimes and gestures hugely, or just keeps his arms crossed and talks nonstop does it remind bruce of dick

DID DAMIAN LOWKEY PICK IT UP FROM DICK when they were batman and robin together he ends up like this a lot, especially when he’s comfortable or there’s an old robin around and he wants them to stay for a bit even though he would never on his life admit it. honestly it reminds all the robins of dick and they always end up accidentally sparing half a moment to think of when dick and damian worked together and it makes them a smidgen softer towards this fierce rage-filled tiny human. jason just casually lifting and hanging him up on a rod or smth when they’re chilling, after so many instances of damian doing it on his own

damian being in some kind of rare giggly lil kid mood and barely being able to hold himself up, and one of the batkids having to catch him/steady him before he falls off. or him being sleepy or tired or hurt and slipping down after insisting on hanging himself like that even though you’re not an actual bat, kid, you know that right and one of the batkids or bruce catching him and putting him to bed, either with him half asleep, or by sneakily cajoling or distracting him to a flatter surface

just. the entire rest of the batfamily casually and playfully manhandling tiny damian. Dick easily catching him and swinging him along when he gets overenthusiastic and fumbles a jump. He’s still the most tactile with Damian, especially when they’re just hanging out. Shoulder pats and gentle nudges and hair ruffles and extended hugs and whatnot. sometimes Dick will come up and stand behind Damian and put a hand on each of his shoulders and just keep them there as he talks. Damian lets him

when they’re in the air, Tim mostly only goes for it if he can see no one else is close by. when they’re on solid ground and he needs to move Damian, he usually does it by tugging his elbows or pushing at the small of his back, or adjusting his suit while Damian's busy grumbling about something. Damian doesn’t really mind any of them doing this even while he glares and threatens to to get his knives since they’ve apparently decided to stop properly fearing me, Pennyworth

that panel where jason catches damian on his hip is my fave thing, and i can see jason v casually and effortlessly moving damian around things all the time. Damian resists sometimes at first for the sole reason that it’s kinda ridiculous how easy it clearly is for jason, but half the time jason doesn’t even?? notice???? Damian ends up going along with it and eventually moves at lighter nudges from jason that wouldn’t have actually been enough to displace him if he hadn’t done so on his own.

Jason picking up Damian with one hand and holding him up off the floor and Damian just. struggling but not being able to do anything bc he can’t get a purchase for any of his limbs. Damian eventually huffs and gives up and decides to let Jason’s muscles tire out, so he just hangs there like dead weight with his arms crossed. Jason waits a bit, then lets him down when he’s sure the kid has calmed down enough. Dick honestly thinks it’s the cutest thing, but is smart enough not to mention it.
