Future State: Immortal Wonder Woman #1

don’t talk to me or my son or my son or my son or my son

I don’t mind the labels “Batman greatest success/failure” for Dick and Jason respectively, but I think people don’t understand what they mean. They refer to Bruce’s actions and results in trying to save them from the fate of a lonely orphan that watched his parent(s) die tragically in front of him; they do NOT refer to Dick or Jason’s accomplishments as characters. Bruce saved Dick from becoming another angry, traumatized kid that felt like he had no family. He couldn’t save Jason because in the end, Jason ran away because he felt like a biological mother was his only chance at having a parent that wouldn’t leave him. Because Bruce, unknowingly, caused him to feel that way. That is Batman’s greatest failure, not some unfair criticism of Jason labelling him as the “worst/angry Robin” claiming that he’s a black mark among the Bats. Quite honestly, “Batman’s greatest success/failure” has nothing to do with Dick or Jason as people, only Bruce’s role as a parent to them.

No the relationships in the batfam are very simple actually. Dick is Bruce's Ideal Son, Jason is the favorite, Cassandra is his legacy, Tim is the one he trusts, Duke is a mostly-failed fresh start, Damian is his shot at redemption, and Steph is his Karmic retrebution. Steph and Tim are soulmates. So are Dick and Babs, but it's a lot more complicated and we kind of try not to talk about it. Damian is Bruce's son and Bruce is Damian's father but Dick is Damian's dad. Steph isn't adopted because she's dating Tim but she's Damian's older sister, though she had to fight Dick for the title before he gave up and adopted the kid. 

Bruce: Those Rogues are definitely plotting something.

Dick: Maybe they’re scheming.

Bruce: No, scheming looks different. They’re definitely plotting.

I know in my heart that the one time Bruce tried to seriously discipline Robin!Jason, Jason demanded a lawyer and said he knew his rights and he was entitled to a jury of his peers, etc etc, and he said it all with such conviction and gravitas and the most determined expression on his little child face that Bruce ended up laughing so hard he forgot all about grounding or lecturing him or whatever. I know this

“batman is a furry” “batman is just a guy in a fur suit” please. batman, if anything, is in a KINK suit. look at him. all black, scary as fuck, skin tight? WHERES THE FUR HUH? i’m almost positive that when he first emerged as batman everyone thought it was a bdsm fanatic going feral.

dilf wayne made an appearance yall it’s okay AND LOOK AT THE FAMILY EVEN JASONS THERE :D

At this point I think we gotta start back over with Bruce’s character

sick of people saying Bruce doesn't ever praise his kids

(from Young Justice vol 1)

Bruce’s actions in RHATO #25 are unforgivable no matter what, but I often read fics where Jason says or thinks something admitting that he killed Cobblepot because he was hurting people etc. But the issue is…he didn’t kill him. He wasn’t even trying to kill him. At all. That’s canon; Jason explicitly says that (RHATO #35). There would never be a good reason for doing that to your own son, but Bruce beat Jason almost unconscious for nothing.

I can look at Bruce killing Jason at the end of UTRH and keep it as canon because it genuinely was an accident. Bruce probably doesn’t even know he did it. He was clearly emotionally pained and he knew he couldn’t help the son he had mourned for years, not that he had come back to him. Forget the possibility of Jason and Bruce ever fixing their relationship, I can’t acknowledge RHATO #25 as canon and not want Batman thrown in jail. He intentionally hurt his own son like that and that’s not even mentioning the things he said to Jason. Jason was clearly not even fighting back for most of it. It’s disgusting.

Dick Grayson: [looking at Bruce Wayne’s wounds] You should go to the hospital and get that looked at properly.

Bruce Wayne: I’m fine.

Dick Grayson: You’re fine? That’s great. I’m gonna put that on your tombstone. “He said he was fine. He was wrong.”

Dick: I spent too long caressing Waluigi's crotch to be comfortable.

Bruce: Please stop saying that.

Jason: Did you make him Waaaaaaa?

Dick: Maybe I did, maybe I didn't, what's it to you?
