I know it was probably said like a million times since the movie came out, but my favourite detail in the whole movie is in the DNA numbers with Red Hood's 635 being the issue number when he appears under that name while Jason's 428 is for the issue in which he dies
ah yes, it's another thing that runs in the family
Damian, to Tim: I feel it is only right to tell you I am pursuing the kent boy.
Damian, nervously: ...and the batson boy.
Tim: Cool, I'm glad they make you happy.
Damian: what? why aren't you shocked!?
Tim: why would I be?
Damian: I'm courting two people at once!
Tim: so? They know about each other, right?
Damian: well, yes, but-
Tim: then that'd be kinda hypocritical, don't you think? With me dating Kon and Bernard and all-
Damian: you are.
Damian: what.
Tim: yes??? You knew this??
Damian, alarmed: I most certainly did not!
Tim: Damian, everyone in this family is poly, It'd be weirder if you were monogamous.
Damian: that can't be right, what about Todd?
Tim: Roy and Starfire.
Damian: Brown and Cain are monogamous-
Tim: with the way they keep chatting up the new intern at Wayne Tech? Please.
Damian: Thomas isn't in a relationship.
Tim: still poly.
Damian: Richard??
Tim: literally married to Wally and Babs, you were at the weddings, Damian? what the fuck??
Damian: Father-
Tim: is dating half the justice league, three villains and your mother, Damian!
Damian:
Damian, realising why that photo of the Wayne's and Alfred looked so romantic: my god.

The kids are chaotic and with no idea how they ended up in this situation Talia and Lois did a Wife Swap. Which is very entertaining as Talia canonically have beef with the Superfamily.
Alfred: Going morning Mrs. Lane, apologies that Master Bruce and the kids can not greet you right now. They are training.
Lois: What do you mean training? It's 6 AM.....
Clark: Good morning....Talia.
Talia: Good morning Kent. Though we don't get along I apologize for interrupting your training session.
Clark: Training session? It's 6 AM in the morning.
Talia: Judging by your comment I assume the children are still asleep?
Clark: Yes....because it's 6 AM.
Lois: Does everyone always argue with each other every minute?
Batfamily: We're not arguing!
Lois: Yes you are, my family tends to talk things out calmly.
Jason: We're not arguing it's called playful banter
Lois: Sure....
Jon: Why are you dressed like that?
Talia: Dressed like what?
Kon: Dressed so fancy... we're going to do farm work.
Talia: I am aware of that. This is my farm work attire. Thank you very much.
Clark, Kon and Jon: ......
Lois: Sooooo what do you and Talia do together?
Bruce: Sometimes we like to sit beside each other reading a book in silence.
Lois: ......
Bruce: .......
Lois: Oh! You're serious!
Kon: I was thinking of getting a nose piercing but mom and dads disapprove or whatever
Talia: I reccomend a nose piercing. They are really cute and I have one.
Kon: Coolll
Clark: TALIA STOP TRYING TO INFLUENCE MY CHILD
Lois to the Batfamily: I've always thought that you guys are dysfunctional but looking at it up close makes me realize you are far beyond that.
