also I think the first night Bruce realizes Nightwing is wearing a plug under his costume he is NOT amused like that is dangerous and he didn’t train Dick to be an idiot. Forget about the sensation distracting him in a fight — someone could assault him! Is that a risk he’s willing to take just for a cheap thrill?
But the second night, well — the second night Dick has to pick gravel out of his knees for hours afterward. And he needs a new suit. This one’s zipper is… no longer connected. But that’s Bruce for you, always teaching consequences by example.
