“Oh make Tim more crazy” this
“Dukes the normal one” that
No?? They throw themselves off of rooftops for sport, non of them, and I mean non of them are normal, not even a little bit, some are comparatively less batshit crazy (eg, dick crying when he’s broken up with to Tim trying to clone his dead ex-situationship) but they’re all fucked up in the head
Bruce has active plans to take out his friends and family in worst case scenarios, he created brother eye, a semi-conscious ai used to spy on other heros that went rouge and killed several people, he allows his favourite criminals to walk free without consequences despite how much they steal and he allows a crime lord to operate however he wants
Dick wanted to violently kill Tony zucco since the day his parents fell, when he was 8. He was trained to go into the court of talons since birth, he was laughing as he kicked in the skulls of petty criminals. He was in essentially a gang (teen titans) with the daughter of literally Satan, he dropped a guy off a moving train, he killed joker, he’s repeatedly lied and kept secrets from others and he has an insane track record of violence
Babs worked as an information broken for many task forces, she’s a professional hacker with access to all documents she could possibly want, she gets information from the cops whenever she wants, she helped lead/form birds of prey, and even in her wheelchair she constantly fucks people up with great skill
Jason was a kid in crime ally, he tried to steal the tires off of Batman, like the supposed cryptid, who is accompanied by the sound of a child laughing and according to superman had 2 heart beats, he tried to steal from him, at 11. He came back from the dead and became a drug lord, he poisoned 80 random inmates while he was in prison, he attacked Tim in the titans tower, and he’s killed so so many people
Cass was trained by David cain to kill coldly and has against her own will, she works silently and quickly, even in the present where she follows the no kill rule so dearly to her heart, she’s still insanely dangerous
Tim is the obvious, he laughed and cracked jokes as Jason tortured him, he followed Batman around on the rooftops, found out his name and address, looked through his trash, planted cameras, showed up at his sons house, and blackmailed Bruce into making him replace his dead son, he tried to clone Kon about a million times, he still keeps his stalking tendencies into adulthood, and you can’t ignore how fucked up the joker junior incident (although not being canon many still consider it) must’ve made him
Steph was raised by a wannabe villain, she trained with him and learnt how to best the riddler, she hit Robin with a brick when they first met, who was again, assumed to be a cryptid shapeshifter that came back from the dead, she had a teen pregnancy and acted out violently, she was tortured with a jack hammer and faked her death after being Robin and came back
Duke chooses to fight where people can see him, not using the ability to hide to his advantage, due to his activity in the day he fights the villains who think brute force will work, he fought in the Robin war, he’s canonically been arrested multiple times, and there’s a non-zero chance he’s downright immortal
Damian was raised in a cult, he had to learn to see other people as living beings, he was experimented on as a child that must’ve left insane physiological consequences, and the kid has 2 different dragon adjacent pets, normal people don’t do that
I’m not even gonna get into Alfred, pre or post butler
Even Kate is marginally crazy, she survived getting shot at as a child, joined and got dishonourably discharged from the military, was an alcoholic, got saved by the bat once and proceeded to steal and buy weapons and equipment from the black market to throw herself around rooftops too with no additionally training to the military and after that she has the same level of obsessed research we see in Tim and Bruce
Carrie too, she bought her own Robin costume and chose to follow Batman around, who’d recently came out of retirement, she slingshots firecrackers at people, she’s saved Bruce on multiple occasions by sheer force of will and she dug Bruce out of his grave
And the list goes on and on, please stop calling any of them normal, they’re not, Gotham breeds a special kind of crazy and Bruce attracts and even worse kind of crazy
