Here’s a little rant about daddy bats (because I‘m on the devils lettuce (legally) and I feel like sharing this with the world):
He has his whole „best detective“ thing going on but I love to think that he‘s completely clueless when it comes to his children.
One of them has a big fat crush? Bruce wouldn’t know. Same goes for (secret?) relationships. He would go: wdym? They‘re very good friends. Of course they go out to eat.
He knows that Jason is smoking cigarettes (Jason never bothered to hide it rlly).
Same goes for Tim (but with weed) because I love Stoner!Tim. Like, of course his eyes are little red, his legs wobbly and his speech a bit slurred. That boy has been working nonstop on the computer! Poor Timmy.
(Them bonding over smoking together; Bruce not noticing and just thinking his boys get along = happy)
If Damian wouldn’t be so on the nose with his animals, Bruce would’ve never figured it out. There’s probably some animals hidden around the manor(+ cave) that he still do not know of.
It’s not like he doesn’t notice things, he obviously sees it when his kids are sick and in mental anguish and he knows of their hobby’s and interests. But when was he supposed to learn about the fact that dick has an high alcohol tolerance? He only saw that boy drink champagne at a few galas!
Cass uncovering the vents and using them as transportation. Making little hideouts, (occasionally helping Alfred clean there because the man can’t get there as easily) and just chilling up there. When they hear a creak from the vents everyone is like „there goes Cass!“ except for Bruce.
Damian secretly taking Jon with him on patrols when he started going alone.
(Bruce: Damian, do you perhaps know why the thugs have spotted two cape wearing children on your patrol route tonight?
Damian : … I have simply hit them too hard father. Their vision must have been impaired.
Jon hiding on the roof with the bats: :D👍)
Of course the secret snack stashes too. (Though I feel like they would have to relocate them every so often because Alfred definitely notices, even if Bruce doesn’t.)
And so what if duke is actually a hobby hair stylist and has dyed everyone’s hair atleast once? Yes everyone had their hair dyed (how drastic and for how long depends on the person. And yes, perhaps Stephanie is his most loyal customer). Bruce certainly never cared enough for an touch up.
Hell, they don’t even hide most of these things!
I love the thought of him going: ??? Since when do you do that?
