Gee, thanks DC! You Just Turned Bruce Into An Irredeemable Ass.

So, at the end of Gotham War Bruce has officially lost everything. Alfred is still dead, Selina is "presumed dead" and Bruce is both financially and morally broke. Why, you may ask, is Bruce so much worse off this time? Let me count the ways.

He preformed a psychic lobotomy on Jason

The "it's for your own good" excuse only makes the mental rape undertaken by Jason's own father that much more heinous.

Just when you think Bruce can't sink any lower he does. When Dick recognizes that Bruce has lost it, he attempts to use a failsafe disconnect that Bruce himself built into the system. How does Nightwing get thanked for that? Well that brings us to number two on the list.

Batman attacks up his eldest son for doing what he's supposed to do when Batman has gone rouge.

Bruce beats him up because nothing proves you are in control of your sanity like hitting your children. While Dick is holding back, Bruce does no such thing. He hits Nightwing hard enough to send him flying. It could have gotten even worse if Tim hadn't shown up.

Tim arrives and attempts to talk some sense into Batman.

Tim tries to talk Bruce down. It doesn't go well. When Robin is trying to help, as he always does, Batman uses the attempt to reason with him to put the smack down on his son. Bruce could have killed Tim but apparently feels no remorse or guilt.

If there was any teeny tiny little doubt that Bruce will not win the Father of The Year award in 2023 it died a horrible screaming death when Batman abandons his children to potential arrest. Yes, he left a batarang for Dick and Tim but any glimer of possible hope associated with that action was instantly extinguished by Damian's reaction to Batman's callous betrayal.

Bruce abandons Damian.

Look at Dami; he's devastated. Since he came into Bruce's life, Damian has struggled with feelings that he can never earn his father's love and respect. Well, that negative self-image was reinforced in way that may never be repairable. Bruce just utterly destroyed a 13 year old child because of his inability to feel any kind of empathy.

And how does this all end? The best part is that Bruce takes all of his parental responsibilities and dumps them onto Dick.

Thank you Chip Zdarsky and Trini Howard. You've taken Batman from being an edgy anti-hero and made him into a callous monster. Part of me hopes that Bruce never comes back because he doesn't deserve his family.

The only positive aspect in this convoluted mess is that Damian and Tim will be far better off with Dick than with Bruce. Yes, Tim is mostly independent but he still needs guidance (particularly since Tim's first instinct is to try and save Bruce). Damian is essentially Dick's son emotionally anyway so this might help to sustain the positive character growth we've seen in him as of late.

The point of this rant is to wonder what on earth DC thinks they're doing. This story arc has been pure character destruction as far as Bruce is concerned. It's bad storytelling too; rushed, frenetic and massively disappointing.

Hasn't the popularity of Good Dad Bruce in Wayne Family Adventures proved that fans are tired of Bruce being a dark depressed and brooding edge lord? We all accept that Batman is a character with deeeeep issues who is in desperate need of therapy. I, however, draw the line at Bruce being an abusive a**hole.

In years to come when fans wonder when Batman jumped the shark, this is the plot line they'll point to.

#fuck 👏 dc 👏 #idk what's happening but ive been on fuck DC and fuck Bruce train ever since Bruce almost killed Jason like 5 years ago

Tim, about a dangerous mission that’s starting to bleed into his personal life: I just…I can’t let Bernard get caught up in this.

Dick: you’re worried about him, huh?

Steph: aww, he’ll be okay Tim—

Tim, dead-serious: no. because Bernard tries to pick a fight with anyone he thinks is hurting my feelings with zero regard for their size or skill set. I genuinely think he’d try to fight a supervillain if he thought one was bothering me.

Okay, so, y'know how Jason Todd in fanon is normally depicted as a hothead who just explodes with anger? That's... Not actually Jason... At least in canon. People think he has an explosive temper when that's far from the truth. Example, the Lost Days (and UtRH) storyline. Instead of going after Bruce immediately after learning the Joker is alive and there's another Robin, he makes a plan to control Gotham first. He simmers in his anger. He waits, and he plans, and he executes that plan when the time comes. Sure, in the moment he seems like he has an explosive temper, but that's actually weeks to months worth of anger coming out at the same time.

Jason Todd is actually more like Batman than people think he is. Like, the similarities are long. That's why Jason, Artemis, and Bizarro are called the Dark Trinity (plus that they're all from each of the original Trinity's mythos'), and why Jason is the leader. Artemis of Bana-Mighdall has an explosive temper, so she can't lead (plus, while the most sensible, she doesn't fully understand the concept of extreme planning, like WW). Jason Todd, has a calm and calculative reaction to horrible situations, that he allows himself to feel later. Like Batman, except when he feels it, he's not useless like Batman is at the time.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
