I’m so glad I found someone else who has headcanons about Bruce having bad past relationships and the kids being protective over him because of it, especially Dick and Jason. I have so many headcanons and writing plans for it, I’d love to hear more of your ideas for his exes if you ever want to share!
UM PLEASE SHARE THOSE???? I'll do wretched things just to read those, you can't just say that and expect me to be Normal abt it -
But oh my GOD thanks so much for giving me an opportunity to scream about this because like -
One of my favourite headcanons is that Harvey was actually Bruce's first boyfriend. before Gotham chewed him up and spat Two Face out. I can totally imagine him being sorta like - a step dad for Dick and Jason? ESPECIALLY Jason.
I've seen some issues where they have that scrumptious " estranged father" and ''get the FUCK out of my life'' kid dynamic and let me tell you: I am eating it UP, no fork, no spoon, just devour
- conclusion, divorced couple, Bruce has all custody of Jason and Harvey hates him for it
Slade would be a close second because GOSH, early 2000s teen titans showing slade wanting to become Dick's twisted father figure,, I Am So Weak.
Bruce stays subscribed to his no kill rule n matter what, but the image of him holding Slade at knife point and threatening to murder him if he even looked at his boy,,, shaking crying throwing up
" you mean OUR boy, right?"
" he's never going to be like you. And he's never going to be like ME. You can bet on that, too."
Ofc Talia and Selina have the most rights; I love to imagine that Bruce loves Talia, but he's not IN love with her, yet, they both love Damian so incredibly much ( i refuse to believe that bruce would EVER let her think shes not capable of love) that it doesn't bother Talia anymore.
And Selina is Def the favorite ex. She has a mug that says " World's Okayest Almost Mom" and she'd trade her diamonds for it any day, any time. Quite possibly helps the batbrats in their protective shenanigans bc she's the ex turned best friend

sometimes I’m reading old comics and I’m like “Talia girl why don’t you just Hit Da Bricks” and then I’m like “hm probably because victims of abuse often have a hard time leaving their abuser, familial or not, and this very much reads that way” and then I’m like “hm but this probably didn’t even occur to the writers they most likely just didn’t see her as a person with agency/power to change her situation and instead linked her freedom to Bruce because of course the only thing that could free her would be another man”
anyway. I think she should get a Hit Da Bricks arc in like every continuity. and a therapist.
