A Sad Sad little moo cow

Jason: Plus our resources are dwindling fast. With all the refugees we've been taking in, we'll all go hungry in a month.

Tim: We're out of guns, out of men, and out of options. If only we could go back in time and change everything.

Duke: That's a great idea Tim. I'll arrange it.

Cass: I'm sorry. You'll arrange it?

Duke: Yeah, I got a guy who can help.

Damian: This isn't something as simple as you calling your cake guy! Father is dead! The world is ending!

Duke: Okay, first of all, my time travel guy is also my cake guy, so it is that simple. Second, when Danny takes us back in time, we will save Bruce, save the world, and we'll have an amazing three-layer cake to celebrate.

Dick: Wait, the cake guy was real?

Duke: Yeah why wouldn't he be?

Tim: It's just that you would call him up at the oddest of times. Like that time when you called him at 3 am because you wanted coffee while on patrol and needed something to pair it with.

Duke: I get cravings when someone messes up my sleep schedule. Sue me!

Jason: Duke's bad eating habits aside, this time travel mission might be just what we need. The only reason we lost was that Earth was taken by surprise. If we go back and prevent the tragedy or even buy the past heroes time, we can save our world.

Duke: I'll dial Danny now

Cass watching him step away to make a call: Is this the same Danny, from Fenton Pastries?

Damian: Does it matter?

Cass: It does. He was trying very hard to get Duke's attention. I'm pretty sure he was attempting to seduce him with cake.

Dick: Was he successful?

Cass: No. Duke's only real love is bread.

Tim: Then we keep that to ourselves so the pastry chef/ time master helps us out as quickly and as effectively as possible.

Duke: Good news! Danny is on his way with Clockwork amulets and cake slices for us all! Isn't he the best? A true friend! Heck, he's practically family, like a brother!

the concept of star-eating microbes causing a crisis and the solution being the introduction of space wolves to space yellowstone to control the space elk population. i love a good trophic cascade

dr ryland grace immediately pitching "turn the spaceship into a giant centrifuge to generate gravity" and then not balancing his actual centrifuge later on

the entire "life is reason" scene really

grace forgetting to open the mystery alien container in a fume hood AND immediately sticking his nose in it. if we did this in chemistry lab we were executed on the spot

academia drama being one of the cornerstones of grace's character

grace switching through every spectrum setting on the microscope to try to see into the astrophages and not being able to (relatable)

also: the astrophage dying and grace going "ohhh it died..." (very relatable)

grace having his not-scientist buddy Carl to give him frank solutions when he's overthinking. yes, often the solution is just to put the box in another box

copious duct tape usage

just sticking a filter into the path of the petrova line to collect astrophage goop

eva going "so it's alive" when grace tells them the astrophage are moving, and him being like "WELL ok that could be for a lot of reasons" in the tone of someone who doesn't even know where to start explaining why that's a hasty assumption

grace referring to the first new astrophage as his and carl's baby multiple times (HIGHLY relatable)

the trouble is, you think you have time.

Batman owed Steph his secret identity the second he told her abusive, criminal father what HER secret identity was.

Batman owed her his secret identity when he told her Tim's identity while continuing to refuse to share his own.

Batman owed her the knowledge of his undercover aliases & this was even called out in canon itself when he agreed to letting her be Robin. That's not even his secret identity.

I don't think it makes any goddamned sense to have Robin not know your identity but I digress. There are reasons he should have given her his secret identity, but knowing his secret identity wouldn't have saved her, knowing about his secret mob oc persona whose identity he stole years ago would.
