Watching The Waynes
Season I, Episode 1: Pilot
Bruce tries to prove that his family is normal. His children make this increasingly difficult.
**WATCHING THE WAYNES, SEASON I EPISODE I- 25 MINS**
The episode starts by showing the exterior of Wayne Manor, a large, beautiful house on the outskirts of Gotham. The green blades of grass in the garden rustle with the wind. Water splashes against the jagged rocks of a nearby brook. A bright orange-chested bird, a robin, settles on the branches of a tree, tweeting happily.
The scene switches to the inside of the manor, where a caucasian man with black hair, steely blue eyes and a square shaped face is sitting in the kitchen. He’s in his early to mid forties, wearing a grey t-shirt and black pants. An older gentleman, dressed formally in a suit, with white hair and a handlebar moustache, is standing at the counter, frying up eggs.
“Here you go Master Bruce” The older man, the family butler Alfred Pennyworth, says. He puts an omelette in front of the other man, Bruce Wayne.
BRUCE WAYNE: CONFESSIONAL
BRUCE: Mornings at Wayne Manor start off as any other, really. It’s usually the most peaceful time of day.
“Thank you Alfred” Bruce takes a bite of his food. The calming music in the background is interrupted by someone saying “Why the [censored] is there a camera crew in our kitchen”
The camera pans to a tall man in his early twenties standing at the doorway, wearing a pair of sweatpants and a faded, red t-shirt. He has greenish-blue eyes and black hair with a single white streak down the front. He mutters “Aah s**t. You guys recorded that didn’t you?”
⋙
The intro starts with each family member taking turns sitting on a couch and saying something individually to the camera.
“I love my kids!” Bruce exclaims. There are shouts off-camera and his left eye twitches just the slightest but he keeps grinning.
“Let’s get one thing straight” Dick holds up one finger “Nobody- can beat the original”
“I beat ‘the original’ ” Cass says while signing
“What do you mean mine can’t be a joke about my death?” Jason questions with a frown
Tim nods off during his turn. His siblings shout his name and someone shakes him awake. He looks around, rubs his eyes and mumbles “Uh- I’m Dim Trake'' his eyes widen and he quickly adds “Wait no- I meant Tim Drake. Do we get a re-try?”
“These people are insane” Duke whispers to the camera, looking around as if he fears for his life.
“This is Titus” Damian introduces a black great dane who is at his feet “This is Alfred The Cat” A white cat on his lap purrs “And over there is Jerry the Turkey” A few people shout as a turkey trots into the room and comes near Damian.
“What did I say about Jerry?” Bruce asks off-camera, sounding exasperated.
“Still love us now, old man?” someone jokes
The clip starts with Bruce Wayne, wearing a black turtleneck and pants, sits down on the centre of a grey sofa in front of a cream background. Dick, who is in sweatpants and a dark gym t-shirt, gracefully does a front flip and lands beside his father. On the other side of Bruce, Jason and Tim, both in black hoodies and jeans, wrestle over who gets to sit on the sofa, with Cass, dressed in a black jumpsuit, ultimately getting the spot after both of them fall to the ground fighting. Damian sits on an armchair to the left of the sofa, rolling his eyes as he strokes a cat on his lap. He’s wearing a plain black shirt and pants. Duke sits on the arm of the couch in an all-black get up similar to everyone else and throws a peace sign. Alfred, dressed formally in a three-piece suit, appears at the side and clears throat. Everyone looks at the camera and smiles. The words ‘Watching The Waynes’, appears at the top in glittering blue text.

“Good morning Alfie” greets the tall man from earlier, Jason Todd “I-”
He is interrupted by yelling and the sound of footsteps. A teenage boy with messy black hair in an oversized Gotham University sweatshirt enters the room. His bright, blue eyes and large dark circles stand out on his pale face. He, Timothy ‘Tim’ Drake, is fighting with a pre-teen boy who has tan skin, green eyes and gelled up hair. The younger boy, Damian Wayne, is the only one of his siblings who is ready, fully dressed in cargo shorts and a green t-shirt with a dinosaur on it. A barking dog follows Damian in.
Another boy, in between the other two in age, with dark skin, brown eyes and short hair comes in as well. He’s talking to someone on the phone loudly. Damian gives Tim a shove as they fight. Tim stumbles backward and bumps into the last boy, Duke Thomas. Duke knocks over a plastic cup from the kitchen counter, which lands on the ground with a loud thud. He puts the phone on speaker, placing it on the countertop as he picks up the glass. Jason says something to him and they begin conversing. The phone remains on speaker and the person on the other end keeps talking.
Bruce looks tired.
ALFRED PENNYWORTH- CONFESSIONAL
ALFRED- (sarcastically) Aah yes. Very peaceful.
“Damian” Bruce says “What did I say about hitting Tim? Duke, you forgot to end your phone call” Duke ends the call. Tim and Damian continue to fight.
“Wait” Duke interrupts “Is it just me or were all those cameras not there yesterday?”
“Oh those” Tim says “I just assumed I was seeing things” Everyone gives him a look “What? I didn’t sleep well last night.”
Duke peers into the calendar “Is it Saturday already?”
“Saturday?” Jason says “Dude, isn't it like Monday?”
“Monday? Saturday?? I thought this wasn’t until May!” Tim exclaims, pouring himself a cup of coffee
“But… it is May…”
“Huh? Isn’t it March?”
“Trust Drake to not even know what month it is” Damian joins the conversation. Tim reaches over and smacks his arm. “Do not touch me with your filthy hands Drake!” he turns to Bruce “Did you see that father? How is Drake permitted to hit me?”
“GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY” A man in his mid-twenties, wearing christmas pyjamas, does a front walkover into the room. He has honey-coloured skin, blue eyes and a bright, wide smile. He freezes up when he notices he’s being recorded. “WOAH! I forgot this is why you called me to Gotham today,” the man, Richard ‘Dick’ Grayson, does a front flip and introduces himself “HI AUDIENCE! I’m Dick. I’m the oldest kid of Brucie over here” He takes a seat next to Bruce and pokes his father in the chest.
Tim massages his temples, as if Dick’s obnoxious yelling is giving him a headache. A girl, around the same age as Jason, sits down next to Tim. She has short black hair that reaches the end of her ears and a heart-shaped face, dressed in workout clothes. The girl, Cassandra ‘Cass’ Wayne says nothing but she gives the camera a slightly calculating look. Bruce sighs.
**
RICHARD GRAYSON: CONFESSIONAL
DICK: A lot of people think that because we’re famous, we aren’t a normal family, but that isn’t true at all.
[Damian arranges his knives in order of their size on the dining table]
DICK: We’re ordinary people at the end of the day
[Damian casually sharpens his knives. Cass looks unbothered as she picks up one of the smaller ones, a butter knife, to spread peanut butter on a piece of toast.]
**
Tim is sitting on the couch of a living room, working on his laptop. Cass is with a blonde girl with blue eyes, who is wearing a purple sweatshirt and jeans. Both the girls are chatting while Duke is looking at his phone.
“Hey guys” Jason greets casually, entering the room. Everyone looks at him strangely. The camera zooms in on Duke who gives his older brother a once-over in suspicion. “What is up?”
Jason takes a seat next to Tim, who pulls his laptop a little closer like he is protecting it. “ ‘Sup Timbo, Tim-man, Timberina my dude. What are you working on”
Tim stares at him awkwardly, not answering the question. Cass, the blonde girl- Stephanie ‘Steph’ Brown- and Duke all watch the encounter.
“Why are you all looking at me like that?” Jason questions
JASON TODD- CONFESSIONAL
JASON: It has come to my attention that there is a misconception that I hate my new siblings. Which is definitely not true.
[Jason wrestles with Tim, as seen in the introduction]
JASON: Now just to prove to Bruce that I have a normal relationship with my younger siblings thank-you-very-much, I decided to hang out with them
Noticing Tim’s silence, Jason shifts his attention towards Steph and Cass- “So Steph, how’s university going? You’re in uni now, right? Wow, they grow up so fast. I remember when you were this high” Jason gestures to his knee level “Just kidding, I haven’t known you for that long” his laughter dies in his throat and he scratches the back of his neck.
“Jason” Steph says, sounding very serious “Do you need help hiding a body?”
“What? No”
“Oh wait-” Duke cuts in, “Were you the one who broke that blender last week man? Alfred’s special blender he told us all specifically not to touch. I’m willing to take the blame if you pay me. By cash- no you can’t pay me in ‘your essence’ Steph”
“No!” Jason exclaims “I’m just here to spend time with my siblings. And Steph. Is that so hard to believe” The looks exchanged by the others answers his question “Ok- it might be, but I thought, since I’m back in the Manor, I could use this opportunity to get to know you guys better,”
Cass smiles at him and gently touches his shoulder “Kind of you, little brother”
Jason beams
CASSANDRA WAYNE- CONFESSIONAL
CASS: (signing) Jay tried to hang out with us
“So Timmy” Jason starts, moving a little closer to Tim “What are you doing on your laptop?”
“Work stuff” Tim replies
“Work” Jason repeats, baffled “I didn’t know you worked’’
“Yeah, I forgot that concept was foreign to you” Tim mutters. Jason looks at him, offended “What? You don’t have a job, do you?”
CASS:(still signing) tried
[Jason has Tim in a headlock, the laptop lays abandoned on the coffee table in front of them. Cass face-palms while Steph and Duke begin loudly cheering “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!” as if they’re watching a match]
JASON TODD- CONFESSIONAL
JASON: Honestly, (censored) this (censored). Let everybody think what they want about me. I don’t have anything to prove anyway.
[Jason rubs the place on his shoulder where Tim got a lucky hit. His younger brother gives him a sidelong glance but doesn’t say anything. Jason gives him a weak shove. Tim gives one back. They begin fighting again.]
**
Dick, Duke and Steph are on a mezzanine that overlooks the foyer.
“Alright Duke” Dick starts, clapping his hands “Now that you’re a part of the family, I thought I might as well show you a Wayne sibling tradition”
RICHARD GRAYSON- CONFESSIONAL
DICK: Duke is the newest member of our family and we just want him to feel a little more like he belongs by introducing him to things we do as siblings
“Wait, so your ‘tradition’ is to swing from a chandelier”
“Our tradition is to swing from a chandelier” Dick confirms, smiling impossibly wide. Duke looks a little concerned. “Don’t worry, I’ll show you how”
“But, is it safe?” Duke asks
“No” Steph replies “That’s why we do it”
“Well” Dick says, climbing onto the railing of the mezzanine “When I first moved into the Manor, I had never seen a chandelier before and to me, it looked like it could serve the same purpose as a trapeze, so I swung on it” he leaps forward, onto the chandelier and swings back and forth. “See?” he jumps off, doing a summersault before landing gracefully beside Steph “Easy”
DUKE THOMAS- CONFESSIONAL
DUKE: I had absolutely no idea what Dick even did, but he was being so nice that I wasn’t about to tell him that.
“Got it?”
“Yes” Duke lies. Dick and Steph help him onto the chandelier. Duke looks nervous as he climbs on, grabbing the chain very tightly as it swings from side to side. The creaking sound effects are amplified as he stares down at the drop below. The camera dramatically zooms in on the distance between Duke and the ground. “Has anyone ever gotten seriously injured by doing this?”
“No” Dick assures “And we’ve all done it. Even Steph and Babs, though they aren’t technically Waynes” he glances over to Steph who gives a small smile “They’re still family in everything but name” Steph looks touched, immediately giving Dick a side hug.
“I hate to interrupt your moment” Duke calls out “But.. how exactly do you come down from here”
Dick’s eyes widen.
**
Damian enters his bedroom, making a beeline for his bed. He lays on the ground, peering under his bed before pulling out a cat crate. The door of the crate is open. Damian looks surprised.
DAMIAN WAYNE- CONFESSIONAL
DAMIAN: Recently, I found an injured rat in the garden and since it was raining, I decided to tend to it at home and let it stay until it was fully better. The problem was, I had to keep this from my family since Pennyworth is against rats, for whatever reason.
[A clip showing a rat entering the pantry is shown]
Damian quickly gets up, nudging the crate back under his bed with his foot. He starts looking around his room for the rat.
“Come out now Hamlet” He says, checking under his covers “Do not hide” He groans in frustration “I hate to say this but [censored]”
**
“Don’t worry Duke” Dick calls out “Just hang in there, I’ll come help you down” He climbs up but Steph pulls him down.
“Don’t, idiot. The chandelier can’t take the weight of both of you at the same time, it’ll break”
“Oh yeah” Dick runs his fingers through his hair “I’ll find something”
“What’s going on over there?” Bruce asks from the other room
Steph and Dick both look at each other, panicking “Nothing!”
**
Damian scours the house looking for the rat. He crouches, looking underneath a table. Cass gives him a confused look as she walks past, but does not say anything. Meanwhile, a grey rat with a bandaid on one of its hind legs climbs up a shelf in the pantry. It knocks over a box of cereal and begins nibbling at the cardboard.
**
“Is everything alright?” Bruce inquires, coming towards the foyer. In an instant, Dick flips towards the stairs and runs down, skipping steps in between, Steph not too far behind. He full body slams into his father “Oh- Dick. Why are you in such a rush?”
“Rush? What rush” Dick denies, brushing Bruce’s shirt with faux casualness “So B, you know, father’s day is in a couple of weeks. Is there anything you want to do in particular?” As Dick speaks, he and Steph each grab one of Bruce’s arms and attempt to drag him away. Catching onto their franticness, he glances back into the room behind them.
“Is that Duke on the chandelier?”
“Hey Bruce…” Duke greets, waving. “Don’t worry, I’m fine up here. Totally” as if to prove his point, Duke leans back a little. The chandelier shakes unsteadily and he immediately looks regretful, clinging onto it for dear life.
“Duke are you… stuck?” Bruce questions slowly.
“No!” Duke denies. He pauses. “Maybe. A little”
Bruce rubs his forehead as if he is getting a headache.
**
“Perhaps he will come out if tempted with food” Damian says, mostly to himself. He enters the kitchen and quickly looks around, before opening up the fridge door and taking out a slice of cheese.
“Are you looking for something, Master Damian?” Damian doesn’t jump when he hears Alfred’s voice, but is clearly caught off-guard.
“No, Pennyworth”
“So, I assume this has nothing to do with you” Alfred pulls out a small cage with a grey rat in it.
“Hamlet!” Damian exclaims. He quickly composes himself, the ends of his ears turning red. “I mean, I have never seen that animal before in my life Pennyworth. It has gotten quite late, I must go do- my- work. Goodbye” he turns away towards the door and darts away before he can be stopped.
“You don’t happen to be hiding any other animals in this house, do you?”
“No Pennyworth, do not worry”
DAMIAN WAYNE- CONFESSIONAL
DAMIAN: I lied, I am
ALFRED PENNYWORTH- CONFESSIONAL
ALFRED: He lied, didn’t he?
**
The clip switches back to Duke and the others. By now even Tim, Cass and Jason have joined them.
“This is so embarrassing” Duke whispers, still stuck on the chandelier while Bruce speaks inaudibly to Alfred, using slightly frantic gestures. “I think I’m going to be grounded for life.”
“Don’t worry” Tim reassures, balancing carefully on the edge of the mezzanine “You can’t be grounded for as long as Damian will be. I heard he has been secretly housing a community of rats in his bedroom”
“RATS” Steph shouts, jumping onto the railing, looking around the floor as if a rat may appear any moment. She glances up at Duke. “Hey, do you have any space up there in case any rats show up?”
“I said A rat not a COMMUNITY of rats” Cass signs with an eye-roll. “Only one rat”
“That’s one too many,” Steph mutters.
“Do not fret, Master Duke” Alfred calls out “We will get you down from there” He enters carrying a very long ladder, which reaches the chandelier. Bruce is holding the other end of it. They both carefully prop the ladder and Duke quickly climbs down.
“Now that Duke is safe, we can discuss your punishments” Bruce says, turning to look at Dick and Steph. “You both are grounded because I told you all very clearly to not to take Duke chandelier-swinging. Go to your rooms”
“You can’t do that to me” Dick whines “I’m a grown-adult”
“Yeah” Steph agrees “Me too, and I’m not even your child,”
“To your rooms Master Dick and Miss Stephanie” Alfred instructs. Begrudgingly, both of them go to their rooms.
“Is no-one going to talk about how we conveniently happen to own such a long ladder?” Tim asks. “Has this happened before”
“Of course not!” Bruce defends himself “You’re making me look like a bad father on national television”
ALFRED PENNYWORTH- CONFESSIONAL
ALRED: Oh, it has happened before. When Master Dick was younger he climbed so high that even he was unable to come down and we had to call a fire brigade to get him.
[A picture appears on screen of a young looking Dick sitting in the passenger seat of a firetruck. Next to him is a smiling fireman and a tired looking Bruce is in the background]
**
“Come for dinner” Alfred calls, setting cutlery down on the dining table. Bruce and the kids start filing in and taking seats.
“Let’s just have a nice, peaceful meal” Bruce says, serving himself some potatoes. He gives all his children a look that shows he means business. Damian raises his hand. “Yes, Damian?”
“I wish to apologise for my earlier actions. Next time, I will ensure that any animals I tend to remain outside the Manor. I also seek forgiveness from Grayson for any loss Hamlet has caused him”
“Uhh.. loss? Dami, what’re you talking about.”
“His rat got into your box of special cereal”
“What?” Dick cries dramatically, clutching his chest with his hand “My special cereal? I just got that imported from England.” His siblings give him a look “Hey, it was my favourite flavour and they discontinued it in America,”
“So everybody” Bruce interrupts “How were your days?”
“Are we all going to ignore how Dick isn’t even mad at Damian for the rat eating his cereal?” Jason points out “If that was one of the rest of us he’d have killed us. I call favouritism”
“I do not have a favourite sibling”
“Do too”
“Do not”
“I will fight you on this”
“Bring it on” Dick challenges, standing up, before quickly sitting back down “I mean- I will not fight you on this because we are both adults”
“Bet you wouldn’t get so riled up if Damian said that” Tim says. He and Jason high-five. As soon as their hands connect, they both quickly pull away, wiping their hands on a napkin as if the other carries some sort of disease. The room falls into silence until Damian points to Tim and Jason and says- “Drake and Todd got into yet another disagreement which ended violently this afternoon.”
Bruce sighs “Is that true?”
“No!” Both Tim and Jason yell at the same time. Jason glances at him and yells “He started it! I was being nice to him and everything.”
“Excuse me? You hit me first.”
“Boys” Bruce interrupts “What have I said about hitting each other?”
Tim ignores what Bruce is saying and glares at Damian- “Snitch. What was in it for you anyway?”
“I was simply telling Father of your confrontation. Do you not wish for him to help you sort it out?” Damian looks at his older brother innocently
“Piece of [censored]. It’s because of what we said about Dick, isn’t it?”
“Guys” Steph interjects “Did you guys hear about the italian chef?” Everyone looks at her blankly “He pasta-way” she bursts out laughing, Duke giggles along politely. “Wait, I have another one. Did you hear about the guy who invented knock-knock jokes?”
“No” Duke says
“He won a no-bell prize” As soon as he understands, they both laugh uncontrollably “Wait- Wait, one more. Two windmills are standing in a field. One asks ‘What’s your favourite type of music’ and the other says ‘I’m a big metal fan’ “ everyone looks annoyed at Steph’s terrible jokes other than Cass who smiles and Duke who laughs until he falls off his chair, clutching his stomach.
“Duke” All of his family shout, making sure he’s alright. He gives a thumbs up from his place on the floor. Dick takes the last bite of his chicken wing before shutting one eye and aiming the bone at the dustbin. Cass gets up from where she was checking up on Duke on the floor and the bone hits her chest. She raises an eyebrow at Dick, who immediately lifts his hands in surrender and takes a step back. They both chase each other around the kitchen, Cass still holding the aforementioned chicken bone.
“Aah yes, the very mature oldest siblings” Tim tells the camera. “What responsible adults.”
BRUCE WAYNE- CONFESSIONAL
BRUCE: We don’t usually struggle so hard to have a normal meal
TIMOTHY DRAKE- CONFESSIONAL
TIM: We definitely do
“Please forgive me Cass, my amazing, beautiful, favourite sister” Dick pleads, leaping across the room and sliding under the table. Cass just laughs as she follows him.
“Master Damian” says Alfred, entering the dining room, holding a crate with yet another rat inside it “I thought we had spoken about your little rat problem”
Steph lets out a small scream “I knew he was secretly housing a community of rats” Tim shoots her an I-told-you-so look.
The episode ends with Bruce face palming as Cass and Dick continue to chase each other around, Damian high-tailing out of the room, Steph ducking for cover behind a confused Jason and Duke still laying on the ground while Tim peers over him.
The end credits play.
