this is such a small thing but it bothers me just a bit when people say anything about batman forcing the robins to go on patrol (like them wanting to take a night off but he makes them come anyway) bc that just doesnt make sense to me at all. first of all every robin could be seconds from death and they would go "just give me 5 minutes batman i can still come with you tonight :)" and second of all because if any of them even vaguely alluded to the fact that they didnt want to go bruce would say something like "you shouldnt be protecting gotham if you're not willing to give it your full attention. you have to put complete focus into the mission and if you cant do that then you shouldnt come"

#if we want to talk about whether or not its actually their choice thats a separate conversation #because they say they want to but choices are affected by your environment and the people around you etc etc etc #and. bruce is very much creating an environment where they would be influenced to want to be a vigilante #but thats a whole separate conversation #i just Occasionally see xd batfam posts like 'the robins want to stay home and hang out but would bruce make them patrol 😝'#like no he wouldnt. sorry. one of them could sneeze and he would go 'youre a danger to yourself and others in the field. stay home. 🦇'#then depending on the robin they would either go anyway or threaten suicide or both #dc
