#DC are cowards for not exploiting the fact for shenanigans like this

(let's say that batfam are aware of the fact that Tim will never age past 17 in canon for this)
Bruce has noticed quite a few of his kids have been showing slight... supervillain tendencies so to say. His solution to the problem is to make it that all his children have to be at least 18 to be able to participate in supervillain activities.
Tim is aware this is directed at him and immediately starts plotting to work around the issue with arguments like his emancipation or how unfair it is to target him specifically with that rule.
Jason thinks it's hilarious until Bruce reminds him that Jason Todd is still legally dead and never really reached that requirement either so he should really reconsider his mob boss side business. He now either has to bring his legal identity back to life or join Tim in plotting to work around that rule.
Damian appears to accept this new rule with grace while saying how at least one of Bruce's sons can follow his instructions properly. He does however spend the afternoon taking to his pets about how unfair it is that he will still be the last to be able to outgrow that rule because he knows his brothers to well by now to think they won't outsmart Bruce eventually.
Cass finds it all very amusing but isn't really interested into evil schemes as much as her brothers seem to be. Her 'evil deed' of the week is helping Ivy plant some trees around the city.
Dick comes back from Blud a week after Bruce introduces the rule and finds the house in a state of chaos with what seems to be Tim showing Bruce a presentation with strange graphs and numbers on the screen and saying something about time not moving not being his fault. He doesn't even get a moment to ask before Jason rushes into the room waving a stack of papers in his hand and yelling how he's met the requirement and how Bruce can't stop him from being a supervillain now.
He looks at Alfred with confusion who only shakes his head and walks away mumbling something about how Bruce should have known better than to think such a plan would work for long.
