#also if bruce just waited for the bat fam to prove his innocence and worked with them none of this would have happened

#also the context for this is #bruce was framed for murder as bruce wayne #it was almost impossible to prove his innocence but bruce obviously didn't murder anyone because he's batman #obviously the bat fam is trying to prove his innocence #but they can't find anything #and so some of them actually start to think maybe bruce did murder someone #but then bruce goes stir crazy in jail #breaks out #decides to throw away his identity as bruce wayne and only live as batman #obviously the bat fam confronts him and is like hey you didn't actually murder someone right? #and bruce fucking refuses to answer #FOR NO REASON #he literally could just say no and that would be the end of it #anyway bruce tries to run away but dick stops him and is like hey i never once doubted you and also you're my dad so what the fuck #bruce and dick get in a fight #dick accidentally shatters the memorial to jason #bruce escapes and then monologues about how he expected more from them and now he's finally 'free' #it's an interesting concept for an arc but poorly executed #also if bruce just waited for the bat fam to prove his innocence and worked with them none of this would have happened #god i hate it when dc is like batman works alone #ok then why does he have robin #why does he adopt his sidekicks #why did he join the justice league #why is he friends with superman #why does he train new heroes #why does he allow people to know his secret identity #why does he work with gorden #why does he keep Alfred around #hell even in this arc he wouldn't have been able to escape jail without alfred so don't give me that bullshit #he's nothing without the people around him
