Only Superman Knows About Batman's Most Embarrassing Gadget
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Nightwing #89

Featured in a flashback where Dick Grayson first met Jon Kent as a child, Batman and Superman are seen together talking about their sons and their roles as fathers. However, it also allows Superman to advise Batman on his hilariously problematic gadget placement on his utility belt.
