But I love running around at the last minute! Really!

[theteamdad]

Calm down.

Rushing leads to mistakes. Mistakes lead to unintended consequences. Research. Plan. Prepare. It's that simple.

Get started.

Y'really think muns have that much foresight. [BRUCE YOU R HER FAVORITE BUT COME ON]

We all can't be Batman, afterall.

[theteamdad]

I'm not asking her to be. I'm asking her to use common sense.

Apparently that's too much to expect.

[hackrobatic]

[Batman!!! He hasn't seen you in a very long time.] Yeah, they're not very good at the whole "calm down" thing. Or listening.

Or much of anything besides giving us headaches.

[theteamdad]

[Slight frown.]

Has yours been giving you trouble?

[worst_mentor]

[Hi Bats hey Bats sup Bats u doing ok, Bats? Heeeeeeey.]

You never heard of going with the flow, have you?

[theteamdad]

[Does this face answer your question, Ollie?]

[peckish4action]

Right! Because plans make unintended consequences absolutely impossible. Ever. At all. In any actuality. Most definitely and certainly.

[theteamdad]

[Excuse you are you sassing the Batman?]

They greatly reduce the possibility.

[theonewhodied]

Have you ever seen a chicken run after its head's been cut off?

It's beyond pointless. It's already dead, but the legs continue to kick and the wings flap, so the bird runs around aimlessly until it drops, accomplishing nothing. That's the way some people are too... figuratively speaking, of course.

[theteamdad]

I know the adage.

If I'm tied to her, I'd rather she keep her head.

[darknessiknow]

Such concepts are not quite so simple for everyone.

[theteamdad]

Apparently not. However, frequent reminders may eventually yield results.

[Not that he can do much else but shh.]

[magicianoffate]

You speak as if expecting her to really listen, old friend.

[Zatara would smirk knowingly at you if he remembered how to smirk if he didn't consider the situation slight cause for concern. But only slight.]

[theteamdad]

[But he's Batman. :(]

So far, talking is the only recourse I have.

[necessaryrisks]

Have any luck in getting them to listen?

[theteamdad]

Moderately.

It's quieter, but she still doesn't see the merits of planning.

[batsitter]

I believe the phrase is "chill out", sir.

[theteamdad]

Are you telling that to her or to me?

[Choose wisely...?

As if Alfred ever loses to Bruce, though.]

[agentsix]

Finally.

Someone sensible.

[theteamdad]

Sense seems to be lacking.

[Sadly, even among his allies. This is why he can't leave them alone for two seconds.]

[wing_of_night]

Where's the fun in that?

[Why yes, Dick is using your shoulder as an arm rest. Problem?]

[theteamdad]

[No problem but a Batstare. :|

"Fun"?]

You've spent too much time around Clark.

[superdaddykent]

What's the fun in that?

[wing_of_night]

[Dick is so proud of you right now, Clark.]

[mirai_batman]

O.o Do Bats not change over time? Or do you get stuck in that old man rut young and just ride it like an old train?

[theteamdad]

[Do you see this face, Terry?]

Everyone changes.

[bodilesswarrior]

Good luck with that.

[theteamdad]

I'll need more than luck.
