*also* of note is that arkhamverse batman is shown to often like, do the mentor thing of 'youre not ready' or 'you could do better', critiquing nightwing and robin and i think we can assume he also did that to jason. Anyways. He never does this to barbara.

#Shitpost #barbara is the only person he doesnt hold the mentor relationship with in that way #Shes really framed as the next gen Alfred here #like throwing Origins context in as well Batman DID treat Alfred like shit at first #it was complex and messy before he fully understood just how important both like personally and like To The Batman alfred is #and the end of that game is like. WE saved Gotham. Batman and invisible Alfred on the comms #just as critical as batman etc #then you have Oracle and Alfred on comms for the rest of the series #and Knight ending with Alfred and Bruce both 'dying' is just the old guard moving out #mythologizing themselves #and in comes Oracle and Tim as the next pair #Though Dick also works with Oracle (as his dlc shows him with Lucius because Barbara and Tim are honeymooning lol)#And sorry Jason that means u cant fulfill your potential until youre back in the fold too #Everybody needs an Alfred and sorry Barbara is thw next one #okay also the fact that shes the only one other than Bruce that got to speak to jason face to face #to ask him to come home #SHIT these games are so good
