Not sure how anyone else feels, but I have to say this is one of, if not, my favorite interpretation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It’s never shown in live-action movies, but yes, Batman always had a T-Rex in his main Batcave. In the comics, Batman: The Animated Series, the Batman Arkham games, and many other media. When people think of the Batcave, the two most iconic decorative pieces are the T-Rex and the Giant Penny. As for WHY he has a T-Rex and a giant penny, they’re trophies from some of his cases, I always forget their stories

The timeline for this movie is incredibly wonky. Batgirl here is Barbara Gordon, who is usually Batgirl at the same time Dick Grayson (1st Robin, Circus kid) is Robin. She usually stays Batgirl until Jason Todd (2nd Robin, Street kid) dies, and then she becomes Oracle, someone who works behind the scenes. After Jason is usually Tim Drake (3rd Robin, another Rich kid), but Tim quite literally only has two animated appearances: Young Justice (season 2 onwards) and Batman The Animated Series- which technically doesn't count because they just fused Tim and Jason into one character.
The Robin in this movie is Damian Wayne (technical 5th Robin, as Stephanie Brown, the Batgirl after Barbara, briefly has a time spent as Robin). Damian is Bruce's only biological son (though he does adopt the other Robins), and most notably, Damian is Ra's Al Ghuls grandson. He is the most volatile of the Robins (usually attributed to Jason, who actually wasn't that angry and reckless despite what modern media wants you to believe).
Issue here: Damian comes into the story when Dick is well within his 20s. Meaning Barbara should be Oracle here. It would've made more sense for this Batgirl to be Stephanie or even Cassandra Cain (3rd Batgirl), but instead its Batgirl Barbara, who has never interacted with Robin Damian. Very weird choice, but there are a lot of funny interactions.
Honestly they easily couldve just made this Robin either Jason (would've fit with Barbara being Batgirl) or maybe Tim (who we quite literally never get to have as Robin outside of complete character changes or as a not important character).

Robin is Damien Wayne. Talia drugged Bruce Wayne into impregnating her and gave birth to Damien back at the League of Assassins HQ. The reason Damienj is so savage is because he was literally raised as a prince under Grandpa Raa's Al Ghul's tutoring.

Pretty sure the Talia drugging Bruce plot was invented by Grant Morrison. He very much didn't like her and even admitted that a lot of what he wrote of her was stuff that wasn't even true and was him misremembering plotlines of other stories he barely read. Gotta say it was the worst choice to take with her character, considering how great of a character Talia was without it.

The giant penny was from when Two face tried to kill Batman at one time. Penguins minion with the green mohawk is a redesign of Krang one of the Tmnt villain's. Btw Baxtor is not a fly in all of the versions. He was a normal dude in one and kept losing body parts till he was a brain and eyeball in a jar till he made a new body. The line "Hey Creature leave that kid alone!" is a nod to the Pink Floyd song which I just love hearing Raph say. The selfie Batgirl took is actually a nod to when the joker did ummm some fucked up shit in the "past?" to batgirl and that was a bit of revenge on her part.

DC is really good because they have a lot of standalone stories but just as a general rule you can start from a writer's #1 e.g. Batman #1 by Scott Snyder. Also, you can even start from the start of the beginning of a story arc. Though I'd suggest staying away from big event books until you get used to more comic characters.

He definitely wouldn’t, Damian respects the fuck outta Bruce, regardless of the bs they’ve gone through in the last year or so(comic wise), probably more so than any Robin before him. The literal only incarnation of Damian that might fit your idea is the Injustice version, and the characters there are written with some VERY large liberties being taken(the Tom Taylor comics being the closest to the characters’ roots)

So, Damien Wayne is a weird kid, because in addition to being Batman's biological son, he's also Ra'as's grandson, who trained him for the first 10 years of his life. With Jason Todd, Batman just had to deprogram the anger management issues. With Damien, Batman had to deprogram literally 10 years of being trained to kill people.

I believe this robin is possibly the 4rh robin Damian Wayne. Basically raised from birth to be the next Ras until he ended up meeting Bruce Wayne. Different stories will usually have him either run away to join batman, be sent to batman for some more personalized training, or as a spy for the league of assassins. Different versions of him will usually have him as somewhat narcissistic because he's been trained since birth to kill, others can have him basically be evil. He's basically going through a Jason Todd thing where people will hate him until he does something cool

There are a lot of DC movies that are best watched in a specific order as they are similar to the MCU. It's just that these are animated. But I do want to recommend The Dark Knight returns part 1 and part 2. It is a two parter but it's self contained to just those two. You don't have to worry about a watch order with them.

with comics you can start EITHER when a new author joins a comic or when it starts at a new #1. And it's best to start with characters you're already familiar with. The Teen Titans cartoon is based on "the New Teen Titans" from the 80s.

Fun fact the turtles fight the Foot clan. Ra Ja Ghul's clan is called the Hand. Pause timing kings you where talking about how Gotham and New York are so similar. You paused as (in movie) the characters made a joke about that exact same thing. I do highly recommend watching more DC animated movies. They don't have a lot of clout in the zeitgeist but they are all quality. Either way thank you for the content!! I look forward to more sorta stupidity

So about the Robins, all of them are basically Batman’s children, but Damian is his only biological one. Also there is an order for DC Animated films that came out after Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox. (some are self-contained though like this one) If you want to look it up online, there should be a watch order/chronological list.

If you want more Damien lore you should watch the movie Son of Batman. It makes sense that you thought he was Jason though. In the comics their personalities are similar and they hang out a lot. Their relationship is basically this: Jason is the big brother who buys alcohol and cigarettes for his little brother. There’s a lot of moments where they fight(with deadly weapons) but overall they’re typical brothers. There’s one scene where they’re in a diner with Dick that perfectly sums up their relationship.
Damien: “this is not what I asked you to purchase Richard.”
Dick: It comes with a toy.
Jason: “I’ll take the toy if you don’t want it.”
Damien: “the toy is mine!”
Jason mockingly: “the toy isth mine!”

You also gotta check out the older ones too, You guys should check out Batman The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 and Part 2. Also Superman VS The Elite, Superman: Doomsday, and Superman/Batman Apocalypse.

As for comics, I guess you could always surf a wiki, find a storyline that sounds interesting and backtrack to a comic from there. If it's old enough there will be an asterisk that says "check out comic issue XYZ to know wtf we're talking about right now" and that way one comic leads into more! Just got to be aware of spin offs or mass-group comics changing the plot from issue to issue.

I promise you that comics are the easiest thing in the world to get into, its not hard to read 22-24 pages with pictures. The biggest hump is thinking that continuity is a thing it is not it is the garnish to the stories not the point. You build the web of history by reading and is a bonus to what the real point which is the adventure and arc the characters went on in that issue.
Take Batman you can start right now with Chip Zdarsky's run and you'll be a little confused but its still Bruce Wayne trying to be a good man and save his city. You could start at an easier point with Frank Miller's Year One 4 issue story and then go to The Long Halloween or you could even read Scott Snyder's New 52 run which is 50 issues by one creator. Or even X-Men given the 97' boom, you could start with Grant Morrison's run which basically opens with Episode 5 of X-Men 97'.
It just making the effort to pick up a book, be that through Marvel Unlimited/DC Infinite digitally, purchasing omnis for bulk stories, or "reputable websites", but everyone starts at 0 and the point is the journey and I promise ya that journey is a lotta fun.
