Tim's flawed view of parenting

Remember how in Tim's first appearance he told Dick he ought to pay Bruce back for raising him?

(The New Titans #60, 1989)

While the actual explanation is that DC chronically attracts writers with a hard on for bad parenting, I'm divided on how to interpret this in-universe.

Does this speak more to the Drakes, that they made Tim think parents are owed something just for doing the minimum for their kids? Is this indicative of Tim's unhealthy obsession with Batman, that he has Bruce on a pedestal?

#tim drake #dick grayson #anti dc comics #batman #dc comics #i don't actually dislike Tim #even if he does tend to be a little shit #unfortunately more time with Bruce Wayne and Alfred the Enabler #will not give Tim a better view of healthy parenting #or setting boundaries #or leaving a toxic situation #instead he just spends his teen years propping up man-baby Batman
