- Everyone mostly calls each other by their regular name of choice. The predictable exceptions to this are:
- Alfred, who usually refers to everyone with honorifics (e.g. “Master Bruce”), though he breaks that rule fairly regularly
- Damian, who refers to Bruce as “[my] father” and everyone else by surname
- It’s not very common, but the most typical way anyone nicknames off each others’ code names is just to use the first initial(s). (“B” for Batman, “N” for Nightwing, “R.R.” for Red Robin, etc.)
