Now We Know Where Damian Got It From

Imagine Gotham just pities Bruce’s pathetic wet cat dontlookatme ass so much that his identity as Batman accidentally slips out once and even the press is like “we’re just gonna pretend we didn’t hear that” because the man has clearly been through enough and nobody has the heart to tell him that they know and send him into an episode

Bruce fall in love

If you can’t reblog this, unfollow me now.

do people just. forget how nice Bruce is

he has literally done so much

and he may be strict as batman, but he's strict with the justice league too, because he has too, no one else would, and if no one else did they would all fucking die

when I say he makes mistakes I mean not communicating clearly with dick and Jason, making dick feel like he was replaced even though that wasnt his intention, making Jason feel like joker was more important even though that wasnt his intention

Bruce adopted Jason not because he was looking for a new partner, a new kid, but because he saw a kid who needed help and also a need to do more than they're capable of and he can't just leave him be

he does the same to dick, he's not adopting dick to replace his parents, not adopting Jason go replace dick, not adopting Tim to replace Jason

Jason doesn't know yet why Bruce couldn't kill, but he does now

and it pisses me off when people portray Bruce as a shitty person, as a shitty dad

because he's not, and the animated stuff shows that perfectly

kid shows are usually better because they're not shying away from vulnerability and being NICE

I'm all for darker shows but I'm getting really tired of edgy and "mature" content with no emotion other than rage and anger

but that's not what batman is god fucking damnit

and I hate that some of the comics and games and movies fuels this fucking misconception of batman

to throw away Bruce's empathy, his kindness and compassion, is like throwing away his entire fucking character

batman is great BECAUSE of his contradictions, human yet strong, feared yet respected, violent but gentle, striking fear into the criminals of Gotham but providing comfort to the innocent, that is what makes him great.

why do you fucking think he's doing this?????? do you really think he would pour his heart and fucking soul just because ohh haha punching bad guys bad coping mechanism no it's because he fucking CARES. he pours his heart and soul into saving Gotham because he fucking cares. both as Bruce and as batman, he knows he can't do some stuff just as Bruce, on the side of law, because of his fragile public image, and he can't do everything as batman, sometimes he would need to go by the law to fully help, both sides of him are still him, both sides of him are compassionate and full of kindness and he does NOT FUCKING HELP AND LOVE AND CARE JUST FOR SOME IGNORANT FUCKS TO THINK HES AN UNFEELING COLD HEARTED PERSON.

the reason he's doing this at first is because of his parents, his parents goal were always to make Gotham a better place, and he wants to continue his mission, he did not fucking master everything for 17 years just for you fucks to think this doesn't matter to him. that Gotham doesn't matter to him. that the people doesn't matter to him. that he doesn't care. he didnt think so far to keep the justice league safe and for the kids he saved to not fear him just for you to think he's a violent man beating peace of shit. he did not fucking take in kids who needed a parental figure in their lives, who needed to do things more than they can right now, who would do things they would surely regret in the future, or who would turn out much worse without him, just for you to fucking think that he would abuse them and treat them like garbage.

batman isn't fucking crazy. he isn't unhinged. he's not punch first ask later. dude if he could he fucking would solve things out peacefully and by the law as Bruce but he fucking can't. he's literally THE FUCKING BRAINS OF JUSTICE LEAGUE. AND YOU THINK HES VIOLENT???? the reason people think he's oOoo sO viOlEnt IS BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO PUT IN MORE FUCKING EFFORT TO TAKE DOWN HIS ENEMIES. HE CAN'T JUST NONCHALANTLY DEFLECT BULLETS LIKE SUPERMAN. HE CANT JUST STRIKE FEAR INTO CRIMINALS BECAUSE THEY FEAR HIS POWERS BECAUSE HE HAS NONE. HES SO VIOLENT BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO BE. HE CANT JUST WALK UP TO SOME PEOPLE AND TAKE THE GUN OUT OF THEIR HANDS AND BE LIKE LOL SCRAM. HE NEEDS TO ACTUALLY TAKE THEM DOWN??? USING STEALTH??? AND INTELLIGENCE??? AND PLANNING??? HE DOESNT FUCKING BEAT DOWN EVERYONE??? MAYBE MAKE THEM UNCONSCIOUS YEAH BUT HES ONLY VIOLENT TO PEOPLE WHOS LITERALLY TRYING TO KILL HIM?????

BATMAN ISN'T GOING TO FUCKING LOSE IT AT THE NEXT SECOND, ONE OF HIS STRENGTHS IS HIS AMAZING GODDAMN SELF CONTROL AND WILL. HES MUCH MORE SANE THAN WHAT PEOPLE THINK.

do you REALLY fucking think that Alfred would let Bruce fucking abuse his kids.

do you REALLY fucking think that Bruce would adopt these kids just for him to ruin their fucking lives?

Bruce did not fucking give rogues a second chance at life, to just want the best for them, to want the best for his children, to give a support group for the adult heroes and give them resources they couldn't have on their own, to use his riches to make Gotham a better place, who uses his strength and intelligence to save people, just for you all to fucking talk shit about him

people fucking forget that Bruce doesn't want his kids to be crimefighting, that without him they would all be fucking dead in an alley anyways, dick would be stuck in a fucking system that doesn't care about him, and if he finds out who his parents killers are, would foolishly think he can take them down, but he fucking can't, and Jason was a crime alley kid, he would get stuck in a middle of something and fucking die a meaningless death with no one to fucking care for him, Tim would be stuck with his parents negligence, until the future, with no siblings no father no grandfather to care for him, until he had to take over his parents job, until he had to die living a life he did not enjoy. Stephanie would've suffered because she had a fucking villain as her dad, she would receive consequences no matter the fucking outcome. Cassandra is even worst, being abused by your parents who are the world's best assassin is going to fucking suck obviously and she would've been another fucking assassin and done so much worse if bruce wasn't there. dick would've ran off and try to avenge his parents anyways, except he doesn't have any training and will get himself killed. Bruce begged Tim to not become a robin, not after Jason's death, not after he lost his son.

he's not forcing any of his kids to be a vigilante, it's the fucking opposite of that

he's just so kind and I wish more people saw that

Villain: Come and fight me!!

Spiderman: Alright but make it quick

Villain, sneering: Why? City not important anymore?!

Spiderman: No bro, ᵢ gₒₜ ₕₒₘₑwₒᵣₖ

Villain: Oh sorry bro, this can wait. Go do your homework.

Spiderman: You sure? I mean, I can-

Villain: Nonononono go do your homework

Spiderman: Really, it's fine. I can jus-

Villain: gO dO yOuR fUcKiNg HoMeWoRk!!! EdUcAtIoN iS iMpOrTaNt Or ElSe YoU'lL eNd Up LiKe Me!!

Spiderman: Ok then I'll definitely do my homework

Bruce Wayne isn't Batman, he once tried to take a screenshot of a crack on his phone and you're trying to say he's the World's Greatest Detective?

Reasons why Bruce Wayne can’t be batman

Bruce Wayne can’t even control his children, you expect him to control Gotham’s criminals

him

what a funky dude

diana totally moms out on teen bruce every chance she gets and whenever he does something especially risky during a fight she spends at least three hours fussing over him and lecturing him

listen listen listen i GET the humor and the delight of bruce being awkward mumble autism dad to baby Dick Grayson but also after that first week or so? the magic thing about having kids as an autistic parent is that sometimes they sort of just. rewire your boundaries and become exceptions. like sensory overload? still happens. but the kid can crawl all over me some days even if i don't want anyone else to touch me. my socially avoidant, quiet in public autistic husband? he is LOUD with our kids. they have their own entire culture of in-jokes and puns.

so what i'm saying is, i love mumblecore autism bruce. i do. but i also think the galaxy brain take is when Dick Grayson slips in as his exception. the person who doesn't exactly count as "socializing," that he has jokes with and talks to sometimes for hours (mixed with those long silences), and spends a lot of time carrying around on his back when Dick is clingy. it doesn't need to completely change him or how he acts in public, but he can also be comfortable enough to have fun with Dick Grayson, quiet or loud.

Bruce: I'm pretty sure they learnt their lesson

Alfred: Really Master Bruce?

Bruce: No! But you can let a man dream!

Dick: So, did everyone learn their lesson?

Tim: No.

Cass: I did not.

Jason : I may have actually forgotten one.

Damian: Also no.

Dick: Oh good, neither did I.

Duke: *Exhausted sigh*
