I like to think that when the bat kids get upset with Bruce over small petty things they pull the your not my dad card like even Damian does it because he’s heard the other kids saying it for so long. Just imagine if you please:
Bruce: Tim I am begging go to sleep the case will still be there to solve tomorrow
Tim: your not in charge of me your not my dad?
Bruce: (legally isn’t his dad) I’ll tell Alfred
Tim: you wouldn’t god damn dare
Dick: (just stubbed his toe) oh fuck ouch
Dick: who the fuck are you my dad
Bruce: legally speaking yes watch your mouth
Bruce: Jason stop stealing my tires off the Batmobile it isn’t funny
Jason: what are you gonna do ground me your not my dad bitch
Bruce: I DONT NEED TO BE YOUR DAD FOR YOU TO NOT STEAL MY TIRES DONT STEAL PERIOD
Jason: ok old man i think you’re going senile
Duke: damn I got an f on my English essay
Bruce: you know duke you should really study harder if you want to be successful in the future
Duke: who do you think you are trust fund billy my dad?
Steph: hey Brucie let’s do a tiktok together
Bruce: Steph you shouldn’t be on your phone all the time it’s bad for your health
Steph: sorry bruce didn’t know i was talking to my dad right now
Damian: father I wish to go on patrol tonight
Bruce: Damian no you’re grounded you aren’t allowed to patrol
Damian: tt whatever you’re not my dad
