I'm Chatty

Bruce can and will lurk in any and all JL group comms, Batfamily “siblings only” encrypted chats, and even the rudimentary chat function YJ came up with on a bunch of old flip phones, and while his aura alone is enough to keep people nervous, nothing brings a conversation to a screeching halt quite like Batman dropping a singular 👀 into the chat.

these relationships are always increasing numbers as well. so obviously we need six eleven to mean somethimg

imagine if that's the date it finally happens

Dick was the last to be adopted, Jason became the black sheep post-resurrection, Tim made himself Robin, Damian was dropped in Gotham after ten years of being kept secret, Cass possesses killer instincts that run counter to Batman's philosophy, Duke is a meta whose parents are still alive (albeit jokerized), and Steph has zero legal connections to the Waynes. All of the batkids have reason to believe they're the only one Bruce doesn't want around and Bruce is unaware of the problem because they don't vocalize it not just out of the usual emotional constipation, but also a deep-seated fear of being proven right. In this essay, I will—

I think an interesting characterization of batman in regards to how annoyed he is when pulled out of gotham for justice league business is that he feels redundant, particularly n battle. he understands his worth as a strategist and someone who knows how to keep an organization running but in his mind that all could be an email and in battle there’s nothing he could do that some other hero couldn’t and, frankly, probably better. He is aware that in a super fight he is Just A Guy. while as in gotham there’s five seperate murder investigations happening right now that he IS irreplaceable in solving. this way it isn’t about superiority or surliness it’s about what he thinks is effective use of resources

oh, my obsessed little bird boy
