[Youthful but man you're built like a tank he's still a lanky high school senior, leave him alone-

But he's just going to shrug and not be very helpful at all.]

I dunno man, what's the interest of it to you?

[You're not one of those supervillains who steal superpowers right because they're the most unoriginal and the biggest pain in the butt-]

[idiosyncrasies]

[ That's true... at least he isn't Bruce though. Batdad has muscles growing on his muscle's muscles. He probably wouldn't bother with talking to this spider dude either, though. Dick thinks for a second that he should probably keep that in mind, but the world basically knows that there's multiple Batmen around now, so he's safe.

In a place that isn't even Gotham, etc. ]

Curiosity. I've seen a few people take up a mantle of a spider of some kind, but none of them could do anything like this. Looks like it's better than a grappling gun, even.

[webswinger]

Kind of a pros and cons kind of thing - grappling guns can be retracted and all though you're left pretty defenseless when you're waiting for it to pick you back up. Lot less spider-like if you're into the whole motif thing, though.

[So he's just going to approach with his arms still crossed, a little bit on edge but kind of less so now.]

But hey, what're you supposed to be? Manta Ray? Or are you doing the cliche bat bit- Have you got the sonar thing down?

[idiosyncrasies]

[ ...Manta Ray sounds kind of cool, but too much like Black Manta. ]

You could say that. [ There are navigation systems in everything he owns now... his cowl alone is pretty packed with gear. And then there's the jet he flies around in!! ] It's Batman. Let me guess — Spiderman?

[ He's batwinging it, but if there's one thing he knows, it's ____men. Even if he never came up with 'Batman' himself. (Nightwing really does sound cooler...) ]

[webswinger]

Poison Sting, actually.

[ . . .

Yeah, he can't keep that up.]

Okay, yeah no - Spider-man. Honestly not my choice but you can't exactly waltz into any major news organization - aka slanderers and liars - and be all 'hey so by the by, your latest headline would like to be called something else', you now?

[idiosyncrasies]

I get it.

[ Tapping the bat symbol on his chest. ]

In Gotham, it's an icon. The top crime fighter has to be Batman, end of story.

[ Name changes aren't allowed... unless you're ditching the role. Or being kicked out of it. ]

Spider-man. [ He can tell there's a dash in there with his sonar okay. ] If it helps, I've heard much worse. Batman and Superman aren't exactly the most original.

[ And they kick ass and instill fear into the hearts of man, so it works out. ]

[webswinger]

The 'top' crime fighter? What, is it some sort of competition? Do you get endorsements and stuff?

[It's hard for him to imagine. Sure, New York has its fair share of problems but it's not like there are always appropriate answers in his universe, at least.]

But wait hold on - someone actually calls himself Superman? You've gotta be kidding. He's gotta have an ego. I'm calling it.

[idiosyncrasies]

...Well, as of lately?

[ The civilian Bruce Wayne decided to fund Batman, Inc. so there's that. And made it very public. And still managed to hide his identity as Batman. ]

Superman is... some people would say he has an ego. [ He's kind of one of Dick's idols, but the guy has his moments. ] It's probably justified.

[webswinger]

... Are you for real? Who've you got?

[He totally doesn't understand where this guy is even from. What kind of city promotes this kind of thing? Peter has to deal with slander every time he so much as turns on the TV-]

Yep, called it. He's totally full of himself. How can you not be when you force people to call you 'super' every time they say your name?

[idiosyncrasies]

Bruce Wayne, Gotham's very own Paris Hilton.

[ THAT'S A LIE because Dick is the Paris Hilton of Gotham. He was even called that once. ]

...I don't think that's how it worked out, but he is pretty super. [ fanboy alert. ] The Metropolis papers are all over him.

[webswinger]

.... Never heard of Bruce Wayne, never heard of Gotham but alright. Paris Hilton. Except I assume Bruce wears less pink and miniskirts but if he doesn't whatever, I don't judge-

[Yes, he can feel the fanboy radiating off of you - but just going to roll his eyes. Not that. You can see.]

Uh-huh. Only good things for Superman, I'm assuming.

[idiosyncrasies]

[ Oh. Now that is a scarring image. His adoptive father in pink. Pink is too nice of a colour for someone like Bruce. ]

I don't know. Everyone loves a scandal. One about Superman? It's always popular. [ He wants to say 'especially when he loses his cool' but saying something like that in public probably isn't cool. Another thing he would say is 'might even be true' in a joking manner, but Batman doesn't joke. Often. ] Either way, not an original name. Less so than us animals, even.

[webswinger]

[Hey, then don't say Paris Hilton-

But then Peter is just sighing and shrugging.]

Yeah. I mean, I have no one else to compare - villains aren't much better. Last one I heard of was going around called The Lizard but I definitely preferred Godzilla. Didn't catch on.

[idiosyncrasies]

[ He's outright cringing at that. The Lizard. ]

I'm suddenly reminded of Manbat.

[ And that there's a criminal at their feet while they idly chit chat. Whatever, he can wait. Damian should be proud, at least. What a joke, Damian's never proud of him. Or at least doesn't like to show it. ]

[webswinger]

[ . . . Peter is silent for a long while at that.]

Please tell me that was a poorly executed joke. No one actually calls themselves that-

[Yeah it would seem that the police are taking their sweet time showing up to the scene. Peter's kind of just waiting at this point. He doesn't have that many superbuddies so why not chat a bit?]

[idiosyncrasies]

[ Batman doesn't joke. ]

It's not a joke.

[ His jokes would be executed with utmost precision and grace, okay. ]
