I alluded to this in tags awhile ago but like. IK continuity doesn’t work this way and when things shifted from kooky and silly 40s stuff with psas scattered to like dark brooding whatever we’re supposed to take it as like either time passing with some hand waving to personalities or ‘it was always like this for them trust’ but thinking about dick specifically going from holy galloping grasshoppers Batman to dealing with Bruce in spyral and shit is so so so sad I can’t articulate it well rn but like everyone kinda agrees the shift happened after two face and jason but like no dick saw it all he saw it while it happened he saw Bruce taking tim to baseball games and then gaslighting him at 16 he saw the man who’d take care of a random baby on the fly threaten to send his youngest son back to the league he saw the man who helped usher in a new era of young heroes treat Steph like shit he saw the man who inspired hope for a future in civilians heroes and enemies alike take advantage of cass’ suicidal thoughts and separation from her own humanity he saw everything and he just has to. Deal. To everyone else this is just Bruce and ppl like Tim and cass justify it to an extent bc they love him and get exasperated and when Dick is angry but how couldn’t Dick be angry? That’s his dad and he’s being so fucking mean and idk I’m rambling

#i promise this is better thought out on the daily Im so so tired rn autocorrect is saving me #and It’s like the lighthearted era of the 40s smacking someone across the face into shit like throwing him into Jason’s memorial #like It’s not even whiplash bc it’s always happened it’s just. aaruhdsjak #and this is why I hate the entire thing where Bruce does nothing and it’s ALL terrible writing like #they had Superman doing corporal punishment bro idk #and not saying that’s good or necessary today I’m just saying unfortunately for Bruce Stans literally everyone is shaped by his behavior #It’s why they’re so fucked to eachother too #like the reason perfect dad bruce who’s only issue is miscommunication is annoying bc u #sets up every following issue tk ve of the same vein #he and Jason DONT have genuine morality clashes that usually end up violent and beLetha #near lethal bc they’re both secure in their own righteousness #It’s ‘they need to talk and Jason needs to call alfie and gl #go to Sunday brunch and Bruce needs to be okay with killing the really really bad ppl :(‘#like no bro sorry they’re not as wishy washy as u 🙄#that’s a joke #Im not saying bruxe should hit his kids I’m just saying when he does it’s not automatically the writer doesn’t know him #they might know him all too well actually #also it’s just the way it’s framed for me sorry I think Conflict is interesting #so bruce growing up (at 60 lmao) and dick just having to deal with it is sooo #like idk IK dc is trying to happy family Damian and Bruce rn but to me Bruce DID get somewhat better but Damian can’t ades #address tough shit without feeling luke he’s dragging it and rlly he should be grateful they’re turning a blind eye tk his mistakes so he #goes along with it #pretend the soulless ‘i hate you bc I’m insecure and secretly think ur my favorite Drake!’ is actually #‘i know the role I need to play in order to keep things smooth and if u #i talk to any of you genuinely I’ll explode and also you’ll hate me and also I think I’ll hate you I think I already do so’#that’s my coping #and thats for me personally like this entire post Is how I personally like to see it #i like happy go lucky batfam in microdoses except WFA y will not be forgiven for what u did to Duke #also for the og post I have a whole thing about how Bruce’s attempt to separate the man and the mask causes him to do crazy shit to his kids #but diff time THATS just how I get my middle between incorrect quotes bruce and dudebro bruce tbh
