What “father-son” combos would a 55 year old man understand?

1. Batman & Nightwing. Don’t forget Kratos and Atreus.

2. Kratos and loki

3. Solid Snake and Big Boss

4. Tom Brady?

5. 56 here, and I know all of those. But what kinds of things your Dad reads/watches/listens to will make a difference.

   What about Vito & Michael Corleone, Mufasa and Simba, Clark and Rusty Griswold, Anakin & Luke Skywalker, Andy & Opie Taylor?

6. >Batman and Nightwing, and Rick and Carl Grimes

   I’m close to his age and know these. But idk if he is familiar with them? You would know best if he’s familiar with certain characters.

   Odin/Thor is another one.

7. The Dragon of the West is his uncle though

8. George and Frank Costanza

9. Ward and the Beaver

10. God and Jesus

11. Rey and Dominic Mysterio from WWE

12. Other than Batman & Nightwing (and I’d suggest “Robin” as Nightwing came later), I (50) hadn’t ever heard of these. Go with some of the more broadly recognizable ones recommended here.

13. Man I dunno duos are hard haha… I gave my father exactly one present that had subliminal meaning to us from my childhood… A really nice mable chess set (he taught me when I was 6) only for him to regift it back to me not understanding why I gave it to him in the first place. I hope you have better luck

14. Baseball stars Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr.?

    If he watched “The Bowery Boys” movies, the star Leo Gorcey and his father Bernard Gorcey, who owned the sweet shop hangout, were a father-son combination that have the record for appearing in the most movies together.

15. Homer and Bart

    Peter and stewie

16. Vito and Michael Corleone.

17. From music: Eddie and Wolfgang Van Halen, John and Jakob Lennon, John and Joseph Williams, Bob and Ziggy Marley, and John and Jason Bonham

18. Daniel Larusso and Mr Miyagi should be right up his alley. Also Indiana Jones and Short around, Sloth and Chunk, Doc Brown and Marty McFly, while non of these are Father/Son, it’s a special bond nevertheless.
