This post falls somewhere in a gray area between the Bat Board and the Off-Topic Lounge. I picked the Bat Board because it'll likely get more eyeballs, but I understand completely if the admins want to move it.
The latest issue of the Nightwing comic (which stars the adult Dick Grayson, who dropped his Robin identity decades ago IRL and maybe seven or eight years ago in DC continuity) includes a scene in which Dick is sitting in his kitchen, pouring coffee for detectives who consider him a person of interest in a homicide. Dick naturally pours one for himself, too—into a mug that depicts Adam West as Batman, holding the bomb from the 1966 movie.
The full story can be found in a ScreenRant post that showed up on my Facebook feed.

Looks like it's time to call the Bat-Attorney.

In a perfect world, the backside of the mug would be Burt Ward as Robin, hanging upside down from the Bat-Ladder, holding a can of Bat-Shark repellant

It’s not the first time either. Way back during the original Nightwing series they referenced that scene in The Nightwing Year One storyline…

Aunt Harriet, wherever she is, would feel better if Dick at least put some milk in that coffee.
