Superman wondered how the Bats would react if he told them they were a House of Thieves. Batman would just look at him, and that thought was enough to discourage him from saying anything.
They fought against crime; yes, they were vigilantes, yes, they broke laws, but the bare minimum. Far less than most people thought. And besides, all superheroes were technically vigilantes. The Bats just got called it the most often.
But that did not change to fact that they were, all unknowingly - or perhaps not, you could never quite tell - a House of Thieves. Thieves of hearts. How many people had crushes on Nightwing? Oracle, not even knowing who she was, just amazed and awed by her technical prowess and intelligence?
But then, it got more personal. At least, to the House of El. Supergirl had Batgirl. Superboy had Robin. Superman had Batman.
Their hearts, all too vulnerable, had been stolen by the Bats, without them even noticing.
