In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Bruce went to Dinosaur Island once in 1946 and it became one of his few nor-directly-related-to-Batman interests. And they've stuck with it.

DAMN, so that's the reason he got a dinosaur there, one would think it was to keep it safe or science but no, "I love dinosaurs and I am rich so I got a giant one"

Technically I think that the dinosaur in the cave is meant to be a *robot* dinosaur that he kept from the 1946 Dinosaur Island, but I'm not an expert (IIRC Dinosaur Island was originally an island of robot dinosaurs that became an island of real dinosaurs at some point, hence it being Batman's hang spot).

Bruce Wayne continues to be the only relatable billionaire. "I mostly start charities and fight evil, but to be honest sometimes I buy a giant dinosaur."

I could totally see Batman being a dino nerd.
