Fans of DC Comics' Batman know all about the iconic Robin!
Robin's Iconic Catchphrase
The boy wonder Damian Wayne, who took on the mantle, and brought so many great moments to the DC universe! He is best known for his “tt” which is a signature tongue click, that became a unique identifier! The Bat-Family is super recognizable for its members. Even when these great characters use this phrase, they show a level of awesomeness!
You might have seen some big changes recently! Even those in DC Comics might not see what's coming, because Batman stole this incredible and unforgettable catchphrase and no one really saw it coming! It appears he’s taken up this signature “tt”!
A Surprising Turn
This iconic phrase was created as a symbol of a character's greatness but there was one comic book issue where Batman surprised us all! There's some important, memorable moments in Mark Waid and Dan Mora’s Absolute Power #4.
In the recent series “Absolute Power”, there was a crisis happening. It appeared the Green Arrow might be a “sleeper agent”. What actually happened was something a bit crazier! Martian Manhunter really had Green Arrow working on their side to take on this evil! You have to look closely at this comic, as the "tt" happens between Martian Manhunter and Batman! It is hilarious to watch this iconic figure using the phrase as if Damian taught it to his father, and the story behind this iconic “tt”!
More Than A Tongue Click
We might all know the "tt" from this series! But you have to look a little bit deeper at what really makes it special. This is what really makes Damian Wayne such a powerful and iconic character. In a past issue from DC Comics , it’s revealed the true meaning of this tongue click that is associated with this memorable character!
- The amazing character Wonder Woman gets curious when she heard Damian Wayne make this sound and had to get some clarification!
- Robin had an important talk and went on to explain how this special, and symbolic "tt", really represented something he learned from his mom. His mom felt that “nothing is impossible” because everyone can accomplish their goals and have these “limitless” possibilities! She really understood how much people needed to succeed. However, this is where "tt" came in! He shared this is what showed his understanding of the “practicalities” in the world.
Fans that want to see where it all goes down, should check out Tom Taylor's Wonder Woman #12.
What might also stand out is that Damian's mother was a powerful force who also influenced the direction Batman has taken as a character.
And then we come back to "tt"! Fans will realize that this whole concept has a lot of depth! We can learn more about the power and true essence of this iconic character as he interacts with Batman.
What Did Batman Think?
When Batman makes this sound it really does make audiences think. Was it just an innocent choice, a slip of the tongue, or does it mean something more? For Batman, someone who prides himself on being smart. We’re sure to know if he picked up on the true meaning. Even though this isn’t something he really uses.
While there are no real details as to why Batman does this, it really does create such a fun moment that fans will be eager to find more answers to. If the Bat family was there. It may even become something to joke about. We don't get a clear explanation of this particular, funny, and incredibly meaningful, gesture, that fans would really be eager to explore, and what it says about Batman. While that hasn't been fully uncovered, the "tt" that was used as Robin's defining trait! But what we got, Batman seems to be influenced in some way by Damian’s unmistakeable habits.
This means the relationship has improved greatly. You might have seen a difficult relationship between these characters. They even found their place as father and son in these moments! We get a much more complex, interesting look into this character’s growth and dynamic!
