False Starts
He was Batman, world's greatest detective and the best strategist in the Justice League.
He was Bruce Wayne, business shark.
He should be sharper than this.
But he was also Bruce Wayne, dad; apparently, not even the scourge of Gotham was immune to one of the universal curses of parenthood: calling your child by the wrong name.
And apparently, not even the Dark Knight, terror of the underworld, was above being mocked by his children for innocent mistakes. His (intelligent, well-educated, multilingual) children who stared blankly at him, pretending an inability to figure out what he was trying to say.
The idea of Bruce getting names mixed up is tremendously amusing to me and I just know the kids would milk that for all it's worth. "What's that, Bruce? I don't know who Dic-Tim is." "Oh, did you want me to go and get Damian, is that what you're trying to say, Bruce? Cause Damian's not here, just me."
I also like the idea that he occasionally does it to Clark.
