it's for the best I don't have it in me to hyperfixate on law because what the BatFam really needs is an outsider-to-insider POV of the friggin champ of a lawyer who has to deal with the entire Wayne family mess. maybe they're around when the Wayne parents get murdered and have to help Alfred navigate the battle for the estate and custody for Bruce against the various rapacious relations that come out of the woodwork. or maybe they appear, righteously suspicious, when almost-old-enough-to-inherit-his-trust-fund college student Bruce Wayne disappears mysteriously only to reappear years later and seem like a totally different person?? or maybe they're around for none of that but join the firm just in time to get pulled into this wildly wealthy and single young man adopting a strange circus child without warning??? and then he keeps picking up these kids from the weirdest places without explanation and it's messing with estate planning but ALSO he keeps making uhhhh interesting fiscal choices regarding his financial holdings and business dealings and lawyers and accountants are two different jobs thank GOD but also part of being a lawyer is a nose for trouble and whyyyy does no one else clock some of these decisions as HIGHLY suspect? at least there's enrichment in the form of some of the most vicious and satisfying cease-and-desists ever crafted to keep the paps out of those poor kids' faces and wow wasn't it the worst day, even for you, heartless, professional lawyer, when you have to change Bruce Wayne's will not to add another kid but to remove a dead one EXCEPT NOW THIS MAN. THIS INFURIATING MAN. HAS JUST APPEARED IN YOUR OFFICE AND SAID TO ADD THE POOR DEAD KID BACK INTO HIS WILL????? THERE WAS A FUNERAL SIR. YOU ATTENDED. YOU SENT FLOWERS.
