#a little hop toes together back straight like he's acknowledging the audience that would have been there if he'd still been at home

Imagine the first time Dick decided to fly as robin

The first time batman and Robin are in a high stakes situation, and Robin goes high like usual but he sees the perfect landing, he knows what to do, he doesn’t even think about it. He didn’t have to

He just leaps

While he’s flying he jumps off a couple of people, a couple of objects, doing flips and kicks to soften the impact. All of it just pure instinct of everything he’s trained to do, just more dangerous

And Bruce is just frozen holding his breath for what felt like an eternity, then Dick just sticks the landing without even seeming remotely impressed by his own skills

And continues the fight like it didn’t happen

#even better would be if he landed and did a little 'hup' like gymnasts do in the circus #a little hop toes together back straight like he's acknowledging the audience that would have been there if he'd still been at home #and maybe one of the villain's henchmen actually starts to clap automatically before they're like oh wait we're fighting this tiny dynamo #and then they all go back to fighting #dick grayson #robin #bruce wayne #batman headcanon #dc comics
