[ Well, since Dick's already in his Batsuit, he presses a few hidden buttons in one of his gauntlets to activate a holographic screen. From it, he projects images of himself as Robin and, later, as Nightwing - all pooled from archives in the Gotham Gazette. ]
When Bruce Wayne - the first Batman - took me in as his son, I was Robin. When I got older, I ditched the Christmas colors for something else.
I became Nightwing.
But when an intergalactic threat was on the horizon, and Bruce answered the call... he gave up his life to save the world.
So now, to honor his memory, I've become Batman.
[ Rapunzel probably didn't ask for a lecture, but... too much has happened for Dick to just gloss over, what with all he's already shown her. ]
Rest assured, Bruce's old suit represents the only casualty. Everyone's okay.
[ Jason's a different story. But Jason... is complicated. ]
Just don't tell Damian about this. [ Now, Dick cracks a small grin. ] He's very protective of the 'Robin' title.
