As much as I love Ray I feel like the whole Batfam would hate Ray, specifically just for him bringing Henry into crime fighting at 13 the way he did.
Like they would hear Ray’s backstory and how he was forced into becoming a superhero the second he got powers. How his dad removed him from school and started training him. How he had no choice.
And then they’d learn Ray hired Henry when Henry was 13 and too young and naive to understand just what he was signing up for. How much responsibility was immediately put in Henry’s shoulders. How he immediately (second episode of season 1) wasn’t able to balance his superhero life with his normal ordinary non superhero life! How Ray didn’t care or bother to ensure Henry learned how to balance his life properly or even care to make sure Henry was going to school and passing while working for him. The amount of danger Henry was constantly in at 13, and yeah while Ray was obviously upset whenever Henry got hurt, he still continued to throw him into dangerous situations!
They would all, especially Dick and Jason, be super mad at how Ray just continued the cycle and endangered a child seemingly without care for his safety! How Ray seemed to purposefully seek out a young naive kid to take in as his sidekick cause he had to know the kid wouldn’t understand the consequences of the choice he made to become a sidekick!
They would all hate how Ray seemed to throw Henry straight into crime fighting with no training at all! Like literally the first episode Henry got his costume sorted and they immediately got an emergency call and Ray brought him right out into the field. And then he was gonna bring Henry with him to fight the Toddler and his goons the next day again without any training! He didn’t train him at all just threw him right into the deep end. Like eventually Ray did start training him in how to fight but that doesn’t really change that he threw a 13yo into crime fighting with no training at all!
Plus there’s just how irresponsible Ray is all around and how easily he falls for obvious traps. Especially in the instances where it’s obvious Ray knows it’s a trap but falls into it anyway because he just can’t help himself and it puts him and Henry in Danger (S3E6 Hour of Power, he knew that was a trap and still stuck his hands in the box and put himself and Henry in danger because of it!)! It would absolutely piss Batman off to no end the way Ray falls into bad guy traps
