#because i dont believe bruce views his kids as lesser for not being blood related to him

There are sadly a lot of moments in comic over the last 10-20 years that really try and depict Bruce as being a bad father particularly towards Jason.

However, while Jason fans will harp on about the Batarang throat slit and the Gotham War mind fucking. The one that will always be the worst for me is Bruce taking Jason back to where Jason died to demand Jason help him bring Demon Brat back to life because that is as close as DC have come to outright stating they don't believe Bruce's adoptive kids are his REAL children based on the way Bruce speaks to Jason and about Demon Brat in that scene and I find that disgusting.

Now sure they'll acknowledge Dick, he's been around too long and it too popular in his own right, the only way they'll ever be able to remove Dick Grayson from Bruce's family is if they made it Dick's choice.

But Jason, Cassandra and Tim? As far as DC are concerned they don't count and they made it abundantly clear during that scene (and plenty of others this is just the most egregious to me). Taking Jason to the scene of the most traumatic day of his entire existence and talking about Demon Brat like he's the first son you've ever buried, while speaking to the first actual son you buried, coupled with the fact Cassandra and Tim are basically forgotten by Bruce at this point just tells me that to DC they either don't believe these characters are Bruce's children OR they think Bruce believes that and I honestly don't know which is worse.

Like I don't care how grief striken Bruce was, if Bruce still loved Jason even the slightest bit he would not have done that.
