Fascinated and disturbed by the trend in Preboot era of Bruce repeatedly stating he does not want Dick to be Batman, that Dick is better than that or shouldn’t be burdened by that, while also making it clear he sees Tim as Batman someday and is trying to mold him into that role, despite Tim making it just as clear that he actively wants to never be Batman.

#I do not have my references at hand easily sorry #so I got a vague list but not panels to pull or issue numbers #Knightfall and Battle for the Cowl #the age swap arc #Bruce telling Jack he's training Tim because someone has to continue the fight when he's gone #the goddamned birthday present #and some other stuff #I've seen people say that Bruce thinks the Batmantle should end with him #but I don't know if that's Pre or Post Flashpoint Bruce #and if it's Preboot but just one comment I don't think it outweighs the rest #meanwhile I think if the Batman mantle sticks around after Bruce's death #than the top contenders are Cass and Jason #DC #Batfam #Batman #Bruce Wayne #Dick Grayson #Tim Drake
