i mean. the thing is that it isn’t that cass is bruce’s favorite kid or the best sibling. she’s the best bat, which is fundamentally a different thing.
#text.tb#I can’t remember if I reblogged the post that got me thinking about this or not#but shoutout to the op of that post for pointing out how unfair it is to reduce her to Favorite Child#bc she isn’t. she’s the best at being a new version of batman and the best at vigilante stuff and crime fighting that aligns with Bruce#which is why they work well together#the interpersonal stuff and her relationships with the other bats and people outside of her circle are complicated and nuanced#I am always thinking about cass not getting the kind of training that was given to all the little birdies she spends time with#because that training was important bonding with bruce for a lot of them#and she didn’t get it! even Steph did (altho not to the same extent) and Tim did despite not being fully brought into the manor and such#but cass. hm. nope!#and yeah she had babs as a mentor but babs is not always the kindest or warmest person#i think CONSTANTLY about babs yelling at cass for not knowing how to read yet#(obviously not as a sum of their entire relationship! but as an example of how cass being held to this standard…#…of perfection and obedience and strength actually HURTS her relationships with others when it turns out she’s a person. a young woman…#…who needs room to grow and learn and change. despite so many people expecting her to just Be Perfect already.)#anyway i’m just pondering. thinking aloud. cass ily
