You know what I need more of in my life? Tim and Dick's coordinated combo moves. We got little bits of it here in a fight:
and passing things to each other without looking (these panels are from two different issues):
PLEASE I bet that back when they were Batman and Robin, when they were bored while waiting for the computer to finish some analysis or other (the Batcomputer wasn't as fast in the 90s as it is now) they would practice the most unnecessarily convoluted moves or coordinated trickshots for fun.
- discreetly passing objects between each other without looking, with various sleight of hand tricks? Saved a couple of missions, both in and out of costume, when they needed to smuggle some kind of dangerous artifact or data.
- a fighting move that's so unnecessarily complicated they're basically a living Rube Goldberg machine? So chaotic that it completely disorients the enemy, devastatingly effective.
They almost never get to use those super specific moves in the field – opportunities to use them are very rare. But when they do happen, Tim and Dick are both immediately on the same wavelength. And you just know that (while cool and collected on the outside) internally they're fistbumping and screaming at how cool it was.
