Inspired by the comic ''[[Tiny Titans]]'', the-dark-cat/The Black Cat not only portrays Batman as a superhero/crime fighting detective, but also as a single father trying to raise his four sons: Dick, Jason, and Tim (the three most famous Robins), and a baby named [[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Terry]]. The comic is not only funny and adorable, but also succeeds at poking fun at topical points in comics, such as the Dark Knight, Batman's 70th Anniversary, and Grant Morrison. It also occasionally features other DC superheroes and their respective sidekicks/kids.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Badass Adorable]]: All the boys, but especially Baby Terry.
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: As seen [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_64bXi6uBdLk/TKV675cZrOI/AAAAAAAAAio/3YiBYNBOcYk/s1600/bmom21.jpg here]...
Line 15:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: This universe's version of Kyle Rayner. Tim occasionally has shades of this as well.
** Possibly Wally West.
{{quote| '''Barry:''' Wally doesn't want to go to England and learn a new language.<br />
'''Bruce:''' They speak English there.<br />
'''Barry (annoyed):''' I know. }}
*** Or possibly a reference to [[Separated Byby a Common Language|differences between American English and English English]].
* [[Daddy DNA Test]]: Bruce did a parental test with Terry to prove he was his son. (Mentioned in 'Back to the Cave' and 'Cabbage Patch'.)
{{quote| '''Batman:''' But you're Daddy's baby! Because Daddy did a blood test with you. Yes I did! Yes I did!}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Mrs. Wayne.
* [[Five-Finger Discount]]: Done in "Don't Mess with Bats." After a bad day which gets Batman snarky, he gets on the nerves of Jesse Quick, Hourman and Dr. Mid-Nite by showing his hands "are quicker than" their eyes: he snatches Jesse's top while she runs at him, he gets Hourman's hourglass while he's making his threat (Hourman suddenly sees it's gone and on Batman, who goes "Tick Tock"), and he gets Dr. Mid-Nite's goggles, rendering him unable to see--and running into a tree.
Line 28:
* [[Jerkass]]: Bruce, [http://pics.livejournal.com/the_dark_cat/pic/000ahxph oh] [http://pics.livejournal.com/the_dark_cat/pic/000akwh8 so] very much.
* [[Loafing in Full Costume]]
* [[Marshmallow Hell]]: Dick [http://pics.livejournal.com/the_dark_cat/pic/000b2whx being sandwiched] between [[Black Canary]] and Hawkgirl...ThatCameOutWrong [[That Came Out Wrong]].
** Given they're [[Hot Mom|Hot Aunts]] and Dick is seen as a [[Morality Pet|surrogate son/nephew]] of theirs (and as [[Nightwing]] later, [[The Heart]] of the DC Universe in general) it's torture for him as he doesn't want to upset them as a puberty-induced perverted kid.
** [http://pics.livejournal.com/the_dark_cat/pic/00023sh0 And here] Dick's also got to deal with Mera and Power Girl too--hard when you're twelve to keep your "Mr. Nice Guy" status.
Line 51:
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: Green Arrow to Batman
* [[Take That]]: [http://pics.livejournal.com/the_dark_cat/pic/0005ghqw/ Two in one.]
** Don't forget the one-shot gag in the Fourth of July strip against certain recent developments in the [[Green Lantern (Comic Book)|Green Lantern]] mythos.
* [[The Unfavorite]]: Tim -- at least when Terry's around. Cat simply means to have Bruce be overprotective since Terry's a baby but Tim really does seem to get the short end of the stick some days.
** Dick gets some of this attitude as well, although not related to Terry, he's just the one that Batman puts the most expectations on.
* [[We Named the Monkey "Jack"]]: {{spoiler|Catwoman named Terry after her first cat.}}
