#(tho comics drop a lot of things that probably should've been mentioned again so it's not really That big of an argument)

"The Cradle Is Going Away" he targeted the generators through the computers...he obliterated those bases
Here's a fun idea:
The Batfam's body counts get revealed, ranging from 0 to the hundreds.
But there are only question marks next to Tim's.
#batrant#I don't usually like 'confrontation' but I've been speaking a lot lately#you can say 'people get caught in explosions and live all the time in comics' and that's true#or 'Ra's never used it to guilt Tim later so clearly no one died' that's also true#or even 'the comics chose not to ever talk about it again and that's reason enough to think nothing big happened' yeah fair#(tho comics drop a lot of things that probably should've been mentioned again so it's not really That big of an argument)#but not 'he just blew up the computers not the bases' like he very much blew up the bases. they 'went away'#anyway personally I love it when the alarms were not enough to save everyone and he realizes that it's unrealistic to hope so#he doesn't need confirmation he just needs to get that dread of What If They Didn't Make It Out#(and like. not all of them did. according to the art. but there a crew dug some survivors out so we can say the others got dug out too)#also this isn't just about Tim and blowing up the bases#I would write angst about basically any hero having this 'oh fuck what if people died because of what I did/didn't do'#it's specifically because of comic logic that we have all sorts of opportunities for that sort of angst#Tim blowing up the bases is just one of the biggest 'could be nothing could be So Much'#how the bases are secret and the servers were blown...and the sheer scale of it...Tim can't even get actual confirmation of what happened#not like most heroes would be able to at least check the incidents they caused/left behind#(on earth anyway)
