List of Bat Family Team-Ups and Crossovers from the Batman: Reborn Era
While to me the late 90s and early 00s produced the quintessential Bat Family, 2009-11 (plus Convergence) gives us a maturing and quickly evolving Bat Family; forced to reckon with the themselves and their pasts, to sustain a future. Crossovers had a very different tone to 10 years prior; all that shared history now boils to the surface, asking if these already complicated relationships, new and old, will stand the test of time. I also added links and bolded my favourites.
For newer readers: This is the period after Bruce Wayne's "death", which caused a reshuffling of monikers and Gotham to break into chaos. The extended Bat Family at this point includes Dick Grayson (Batman III), Damian Wayne (Robin V), Stephanie Brown (Batgirl IV), Barbara Gordon (Oracle), Helena Bertinelli (The Huntress), Dinah Lance* (Black Canary II), Tim Drake-Wayne (Red Robin), Cassandra Wayne (Black Bat), Selina Kyle (Catwoman), Kate Kane (Batwoman II), Renee Montoya (The Question II), Jason Todd* (Red Hood II) and Bruce Wayne (Batman I).

Okay I’m LOVING the Black Mirror.
It’s got great art and colouring. It’s got an interesting story.
And it’s got CLASSIC Dick & Tim banter.
Witness Dick relying on Tim even as he deflects with humour! Witness Tim worrying over Dick! (‘Tec 874)
Witness Tim mocking Dick! Witness Dick tease-threatening Tim! (‘Tec 877)
Go on. Tell me again how their relationship was fatally wounded in Red Robin 1. I don’t believe you.

This isn't really canon WRT the superhero community (it is for some villains) but I really like the idea that like a whole bunch of people don't notice when Dick is batman. Like they notice some differences with Batman but they don't think its a different person. I just think that has so much potential for comedy down the road
Some hero: idk why ppl keep saying that Batman is such a bad team player, I did a mission with him in 2011 and he was kinda scary but like super supportive
Donna, knowing fully well that was Dick: that was a one time thing
Riddler: I have learned much since the last time we fought batman, I will not fall for the flower trap any longer
Bruce:????
Riddler: Don't you remmeber? In January
Bruce: ooooohh yea (he doesn’t remember)
Dick: I hate Batman >:(
Someone: No, I feel u he was such an ass this one time I worked with him....
Dick aware that that was him as batman and not Bruce: ://

rereading the beginning of the batman reborn stuff is soooo funny. dick really thought tim would be down for co-parenting the horrible murder child, and he probably would have been correct if he'd actually said something about it first

Forever obsessed with how the Blackest Night Batman tie-in and Red Robin #12-14 emphasize that Tim, even at one of THE absolute rockiest points in their relationship, instantly picks up the phone when Dick calls, comes home when he asks, and trusts him on a dime (and receives that trust in return from Dick)
Like Tim is really out here in a self-destructive depressive spiral pushing everyone away and ignoring their calls and attempts to help him and he STILL picks up the phone when Dick calls! I'm obsessed!
The amount of love, trust, and respect Dick and Tim show for each other even in the absolute bombshell fallout that is the aftermath of Final Crisis/Battle for the Cowl is ASTOUNDING, and the fact that more people don't talk about it in favor of pretending Dick and Tim were at each other's throats during this era...awful. I refuse to let it stand. They're brothers, Your Honor! They love each other to bits even when they're hurt and miscommunicating!

Damian first called Dick “Grayson” and later “Richard” to reflect their growth together, but like … imagine Dami eventually calling him “Baba”

The Batman: Reborn era was missing more of Helena Bertinelli being an aunt-ified older sister to the younger Bat kids.
Steph would have a similarly violent, stubborn, scrappy, bruce-hating, rough-childhood-having, purple-clad hard hitter to project onto and be competitive with and have unhealthy complexes about.
Tim would have both a stone cold shoulder to cry on and another loved one to fall out with! Helena enters her apartment one day to Tim bleeding out on her couch and Lucius Fox’s daughter rummaging through her fridge. “Tim said you could help…and that you have food.”
Helena could introduce Cass to Renee Montoya for an adventure and Cass could go a whole arc convinced Helena and Renee were dating. Idk, maybe she never realises they aren’t too.
And imagine being Damian; your three bisexual-sorta-stand-in-older-siblings-turned-parentified-as-fuck-guardians were also in a love triangle that was an actually triangle and just not two lines, AND this is your introduction to non-assassin human society. Also Helena’s a cat person.
And maybe when tensions reach a boiling point, Helena, Babs and Dick can have a massive argument and all fuck.

Okay, now I am DONE done, my unofficial list of all the times Dick and Tim are back on their nonsense (being absolute brothers) after Red Robin #12:
The Brady Bunch scene in the Hit List (Red Robin #14)
Batman: The Black Mirror where Tim is scolding Dick for going out with an injury (‘Tec #874) and they’re bantering over the radio (‘Tec #877).
Tim coming in as backup on a Batman & Robin case in exactly the same manner Nightwing used to drop in to help out (Batman #703)
Judgment on Gotham, which is a Dick, Tim and Selina team up against Dick’s greatest foe (Azrael), and where they worry about each other even as they’re facing Great Tests (Batman #708-709, Red Robin #22, Gotham City Sirens #22)
The movie night scene and making smoothies together (Batman & Robin #20)
Dick reassuring Tim that he did the right thing about Boomerang (Red Robin #26)
Gates of Gotham. Just all of it, but particularly the fact this was a Dick and Tim case to start with, and Dick using Tim as his main offsider when he’s assigning tasks. (Gates of Gotham #1-5)
Like this is a DECENT SPREAD across the titles they appear in. They had two MAJOR team ups and a bunch of smaller ones, plus a handful of domestic scenes, in 15 months. There were periods of the 90s where they didn’t manage this.

AU of my Gotham/Tim Drake! Danny where Danny doesn’t know any knowledge beforehand about the DC universe.
Danny doesn’t know how he got here, but the fact that he now shares something in common with Vlad other than their technical halfa status disgusts him
His new name is Timothy Jackson Drake. It’s so far removed from Danny that his parents had him examined for deafness because he didn’t respond to it. He got better at it, at putting on the mask Janet and Jack Drake wanted to see. So they took him to the circus.
He meets Dick Grayson. Danny thinks the kid is adorable, even if Danny himself is technically younger. He sees the flying Graysons fall. The buzzing in his head doesn’t go away.
He’s five, when the fading spirit of Gotham reaches out and pleads her King to protect her city in her stead. She is fading. He says yes, because she’s one of his. The buzzing in his head settles and oh because that’s what’s been missing this entire time. Danny didn’t have a haunt and Gotham gave him one.
He grieves when she dies, the new title settling around small shoulders, and the city grieves with him. In the city proper, Batman and Robin are having the worst night of their lives in the sudden storm.
He’s nine. Robin is Dick Grayson. Dick Grayson, in turn, is an idiot. Batman… well, he’s at least mentoring and protecting the child vigilante, which is more than Danny ever had. He grows fond of them. How could he not, when they tried their hardest to help his city? To help him?
He shows himself, to the duo, in his Phantom form. It’s still him, still modeled after Danny Fenton’s face instead of Tim Drake’s. Ghosts are a reflection of the soul, after all.
“Who are you,” Batman demands, shielding Robin with half a step.
“Gotham.” He replies. Danny wills the city to affirm his claim and the city wraps its arms around the vigilantes. Batman and Robin understands, a deep well of pure knowledge being tapped into in ways they weren’t truly meant to understand.
“…How?”
“Magic,” Phantom says, dry. He tells them of city spirits, and that they can call him in times of dire need.
Dick calls him to help with Two Face. Two Face learns the pain of unmelting ice to the balls.
His core aches when the Bats fight, but Danny knows now that it is inevitable. They’re part of his haunt, his ‘fraid. He knows these things far before they come into fruition.
Dick moves to a sister city. Phantom expands his haunt to Bludhaven because he doesn’t, won’t, ever leave his Robins to themselves.
Nightwing is hopeful, is pleasantly surprised, and very suspicious when he shows up during patrol.
“Gotham…? What are you doing here…? This isn’t, well, Gotham?”
“Satellite City. It is an extension of myself. You were Robin, yes. You’re Nightwing, now. But that doesn’t mean I won’t protect you when I can.”
Phantom goes back, and finds a kid trying to steal tires to make a living. He guides his Knight to him. The starved features, the bones Danny could see, it tugs at his core. It feels like the Ancient of Fate themselves were pulling him along.
“How’d you know I was taking the wheels?”
“Gotham.”
“Are you… high on shrooms or something?”
Bruce sighs. Batman asks Gotham to meet the new Robin, and chuckles when Jason is surprised by the glowing green figure.
Phantom hides this Robin just as much as the last one. He curls shadows around his vigilantes, sometimes at the same time, and softens what little sounds they made while stalking through his city for crime.
He makes small jokes with Jason. Danny forgets, a little, the crushing loneliness of being Timothy Drake.
“I didn’t kill Garzona!”
“You-”
Batman stops as a chill he’s never had experienced directed at him weaves around his neck. An angry Gotham.
“He didn’t kill him.” Danny slides a cold hand on Jason’s shoulders.
But the damage had been done and the next day, Batman is begging Danny to tell him any clues of where Jason had gone.
“Ethiopia.”
He clears the way for Batman to get to Robin. He clears the way for Bruce to get to Jason.
He’d fallen into the trap of believing that Batman would handle everything when in the end, he’s just a man in a mantle that demands more than he ever thought he’d have to pay.
Robin is dead and Danny grieves. The skies crack open and pours a torrent of smogged rain water upon the streets of Gotham. Despite that, Crime Alley is untouched by flood. They say the second Robin was protecting his home.
In a way, it’s not wrong.
Gotham fishes Batman from the bay, carelessly tossing the broken Joker against a shipping container.
“You can’t keep doing this. You’ll die.”
Bruce, Batman, lays on his back, eyes glazed and empty. “Maybe I want to.” He admits. And Danny can’t lose someone else. It’s already bad enough he feels the death of everyone in his city, he can’t lose him too. But Dick won’t come back. He already denied Gotham when Phantom had asked him to come back. Granted, Dick was nervous about denying him the entire time, but Danny realized that he’d lost a brother in the colors his parents chose for Dick. Danny- Phantom had cradled Dick in a swaddle of shadows and comfort.
“Alright.”
“Is it? Alright? I- I don’t want to fail you, Gotham.”
“It is. You’ve always made me proud. You will always make me proud. Whether it be by different name, it matters to me not. Stay. Heal.”
Like Dick was given permission, like he received a hint of peace, Dick Grayson crumpled to the floor and sobbed into Gotham’s shoulder.
(Later, long after Dick Grayson realized his little brother was also his city personified, he cries again into Tim’s shoulders after the later dropped a flower pot perfectly on top of Catalina Flores’ head.)
Gotham, Phantom, Danny makes a choice.
“Tomorrow, a child will show up at your door. You will let him in.”
“No- I can’t. I won’t.” He knows what Danny will ask of him.
“You will.” Danny doesn’t ever do it with his people, with his city, but dire times call for dire actions. It is an order. And Batman is Gotham’s knight. “You will. You will train him. You need a Robin to leash your brutality. I need a Robin, for Robin is my hope. The city’s hope. Our people’s hope. Do not forget the goal you have set out to accomplish in my city.”
Batman rages at him, until he falls unconscious from the wounds he’s gathered. Danny brings him home. He tells Alfred what to expect tomorrow. Bruce wakes up, eyes fixated on the crack that appeared on Danny’s neon green face. “Did. Did I do that?”
Danny nods slowly.
Batman crumples into Bruce Wayne. “Okay.” He says. “Alright. Tomorrow.”
Gotham watches him, unreadable. “Tomorrow.” He says, before fading away.
Tim Drake shows up at the door. Nightwing shows up not long after. Tim Drake adapts to Bruce Wayne’s cold looks and brutal training. Slowly, but surely, he leashes in Batman’s grief fueled brutality and less criminals go to prison with half of their lives beaten out of them.
Batman doesn’t see Gotham as much anymore. He feared that he’s angered his city, that he is no longer welcome.
When Tim figures it out… he allows the roads and the shadows to help Batman once more.
Batman stared intently at the extra coverage. “Thank you,” Tim hears him whisper. “I’m sorry.”
And when Jason Todd comes back to life and attacks Tim in the tower, Tim lets Hood beat him. Gotham had failed him, as Jason’s city. He deserves it. (He doesn’t but Danny had gone past the point of being healthy about his own physical wellbeing. Perhaps being a city spirit this long had affected him, even with the King’s title mitigating the worst of the damages.
“HE REPLACED ME!”
“Because I ordered him to.” Tim whispers, past the pain of a broken leg.
“You? Order Batman around? If you’re going to lie, make it a better one, Replacement.”
Tim catches Jason’s wrist, the one holding the knife to Tim’s throat.
“Robin,” he says simply, allowing Gotham to come out and peer at the child that is his.
Jason stares, disbelieving. Gotham had… Gotham had come by and approved of his plans to clean up Crime Alley. Gotham had extracted a promise not to damage the buildings.
“No.”
His city stares back and him and Jason stumbles away. Tim shifts into Danny, into Gotham.
“You…”
“I am Gotham. I- I did not want to wear these colors. They were yours and Dick’s. But Bruce was hurting the city, he was hurting me. So I made sure he stopped.”
Jason stares at the new cracks, the fresh ones he just caused and the old ones he does not remember being on Danny’s ghostly skin.
Jason swallows. “I’m sorry.”
“As am I. I am sorry I was not there to save you. I am sorry that you died.”
Jason stares at him. The Replacement is Gotham. Jason almost destroyed his city.
“I am glad that you’ve returned. That you’re alive, now.”
“…Really?”
“Always.”
Alternative Version of the above Tower Scene:
Jason slides the knife against the Replacement’s neck.
Danny sighs. “I can’t believe I’m dying again.”
Jason pauses. “What the fuck did you just say, Replacement?”
Danny rolls his eyes at him and Jason rethinks his decision of not offing the little fucker right away.
“You think you’re the first one to die in this household? Get a grip. I did it first, way before you did, jackass.”
Tim is 14. He’s a child. What the fuck is Jason doing?
“When…?”
“How do you think I became Gotham, little bird?”
Jason freezes. And then he’s scrambling backwards, the knife flung away in his horror.
Tim shifts into Gotham and Jason bites back a cut of regret and bitterness.
He… no, what? What even is happening?
“Why is the Joker not dead? You… you told me that you loved me. That Gotham… that-”
“I’m cruel, little bird. The Joker would not suffer as much if he were dead.”
“He’s killing people! He’s killing your own!”
“So everyone thinks.”
“What?”
“I am Gotham, little bird. Mass hallucinogenic gasses are so within my reach to the point it is concerning. Perhaps you should help Ivy with the city clean up?”
“Huh?!”
