Y'all ever think Bruce gets the same level of morbid, soul-sucking realization and horror we do, whenever the kids bring up stuff that he grew up with but they have no idea about, like Steph will be like "Hey boss man what's this rectangular brick of plastic for?" And he's just like "What do you mean you don't know what a VHS tape is???"
#some kids these days don't even seem to know what CD's are and like what the fuck am I supposed to do with that information???#obviously I gotta channel it into Bruce whump#they dont know why you rewind the tapes nor how you search by 'chapter' on old VHS players#shit you could also do that with dvd players#DVD players!!!!#there used to be more than one optic disc drive#we had floppies#laserdisc#cassette tapes#call collect on payphones#PAYPHONES#no constant wifi if you even had wifi at all#even ethernet#like you didnt only go to the library to read you also went to borrow vhs tapes and do heavy research with peer reviewed sources#or just hang out and chill#i need the kids to shake up Bruces entire knowledge base with this kinda stuff#i need them to go “what the fuck was Pepperoni Chicken?” and Bruce to be like “it was dinner some nights#“and no I don't know why#ask alfred#fuck#bruce wayne#dc comics#batman#ye old technology and Bruce having a midlife crisis#the kids are wondering why Bruce is having a panic attack in the corner cause they asked what a Pager was#I need him to stop and remember pda's used to exist but no longer do#this can go anywhere too not just old tech we used to have#we used to trust random strangers a fucking LOT more#hitchhiking and neighborhood cookouts and actually knowing who your neighbors were and talking to them#all sorts of stuff
