Boring facts (in my head) about parent David Hollander:
New people at work when introduced to him go "oh, like Shane Hollander" and he BEAMS at that and says "Yep!"
Has a picture of Shane on his desk and the same new people think its a joke until an old timer who probably met Shane at a bring your kid to work day clued them in
Would not let Yuna touch the college fund they set up for Shane until he was out of his rookie contract. What if Shane changed his mind about hockey? What if he got injured and needed a good education? Only conceeded when his son was a multi-millionaire
Only time he has ever gone to HR was when someone stole the baby Shane picture off his desk after he got famous. That's his baby!!! Give it back!!! There were so many memos and all staff emails that it did get returned one night, but a picture of it circulated online so now David only has PR photos at work
His lawyer is an old college friend who he catches up with at least once a year and who reviews the Hollander's will and life insurance policy each year with specific instructions to look after Shane. This annual tradition continues to this day. The lawyer buddy is going to be there for that grown celebrity professional sportsman no matter what
Was so excited when Shane started The Cottage project, and helped him with everything, including liaising with the builders etc. Was delighted to have the first a joint project with his son since school (he helped with art/science/show and tell)
Is really bad with technology but the nice young people at the office help (is not fully cognizant of the fact half the office is in love with him but does correctly suspect the other half want to marry his son)
Always knew he wanted to be a dad, and was devastated when it seemed like that wasn't going to happen, but didn't want to put that on Yuna who was already struggling with it
Sent congratulation cards and presents to all his buddies when they had kids anf was genuinely happy for then but it also killed him a bit. Unfortunately the conversation around men struggling because they wanted kids was not happening in the 80s/early 90s so he kept quiet (and passed that trait on to Shane)
Thought Shane was perfect from the moment he was born, and still thinks that. Can't concieve of why Shane thought he could let them down, he's literally always been Yuna and David's perfect baby
Gets out the good vodka again when he tells Ilya this one day and Ilya starts crying

ryan price is the only person who can understand shane's resentment towards troy barret and there is so much potential in ryan becoming a confidant for shane.
they definitely did not have the same experience, of course, and especially the facts that troy got his perfect coming out while shane got punished + the racism shane probably was confronted with by troy are unique for shane. ryan on the other hand experienced mobbing and downright emotional abuse.
but they both share the fact experience of having to watch troy being absolved for all the shit he did and yes they see that troy changed for the better, that he wants to make a difference, he apologizes he wants to make amends, he takes responsibility (even tho there is still a lot of room for processing all the shit he did just saying) and that is all great.
but there is still this lingering resentment both shane and ryan feel towards him. maybe they don't hate him anymore, but that doesn't mean they feel comfortable around him, that there isnt anger or jealousy (especially on shane's part). they have no reason to trust troy, to like or forgive them, and yet because they are teammates / colleagues for the summer camp they have to find a way to be polite. 'why wouldn't they want to spend time with a funny and loyal person like troy?' for ilya and the cens, troy is a good friend and while they rationally know about his past and they havw never were his been victims, it was very easy for them to forgive. It's fucking unfair to shane and also for ryan that everyone suddenly expects they get along perfectly with the reformed bad guy when they are stuck in this goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation. epecially shane has to be the bigger person if he doesn't want to be the one being alienated or be the reason the team spirit suffers. shane is pretty alone with his feelings, and yes, ilya will be as supportive he can, but the only who could understand would be ryan. he put some healthy distance between himself and pro hockey and being with fabian definitely sped up ryan's healing journey so probably he has made his peace already, but he is an empathic person. and I would love to see him giving advice to shane (and also I think shane spending more time with Ryan and Fabian wouldn help shane through his internalised homophobia)
grown son cuddle with dad challenge :) Jason lost a bet with his siblings but Bruce is lowkey extremely happy with this outcome. none of his children will ever be too big for cuddles.
and what if i say jason sometimes find it hard to be comfortable in his post-resurrection body because he died as a small teenager so when things dont fit around him the way it used to (bruce's hugs, the gargoyle) it sent him spiralling
Bruce insulting Batman in interviews is an amazing concept because he will not insult his kids. Like he is saying that Batman is dumb and not even a real Bat but if those little boys want to be birds they should live their dreams and they are the greatest thing to come out of Gotham in centuries. It gets so bad that interviewers ask the former Robins why Bruce hates Batman but loves Robin and all the kids develope telepathy for just a moment and declare its because Bruce lost custody of them in his divorce from Batman.

Tim: Do you know why Bruce is staring at himself in the mirror looking horrified?
Damian: He and Grayson went out today and the waitress at the café asked Grayson if he and his father were ready to order.
Tim: I thought Bruce loved it when people said that.
Damian: He does when it's you. But people always mistook him and Grayson for brothers so now he is crashing out because he has realised he is old.
Tim, unpromoted: Jason I hope next time you die that Bruce cremates you and that Damian feeds your ashes to his pet cow so you'll officially be the hugest piece of sh*t in the batcave.
Jason: Well I hope you get a chronic illness that leaves you bedridden and hooked up to fifteen different machines so you'll have an actual excuse to look like a disgusting sickly Victorian child.
Damian, not a part of the conversation: I wish for the both of you to mysteriously vanish without a trace for twenty years so by time Father has died the fortunate had never touched either of you unworthy vermin and by time we stumble upon your corpses we mix them up and you will forever be doomed to be known as the other without any way to correct us from beyond the grave.
Dick: I wish I fell with my parents right now...
Cassandra: I wish for all of you to disappear right before Bruce dies so I may take the cowl and taunt you all with my superiority.
Bernard Dowd, an only child, staring in absolute horror: GUYS THIS IS A JENGA GAME!?!?
Tim: And they're all CHEATING!!!
Damian: TAKE THAT BACK YOU WALKING PESTILENCE!!!
Duke: Oh, yeah, because out of us all you would NEVER cheat likE YOU DID WITH MONOPOLY!!!
OK this might be a little out there but ima cast out the line.
[Platonic A/B/O, designation transition, superbat and batfamily <no batcest>]
So Bruce presented as an alpha, and it was pretty standard. As he grew older he more and more resemble a traditional alpha. Strong, dominant, a good fighter. When in his early years as batman, his alpha side truly shined and was at its peak.
But even with all of that, he never was truly connected with it. It was just another part that was occasionally useful.
Then he brought home this pup from the circus, and ljke many things in his life, things changed. When dick came to live with him it was an adjustment, but one of the things he struggled with the most was not having a nest. Sure bruce had a den but that's not the same. The pup wanted a nest again.
So Bruce trying tk be a good parent, does his research and does his best to make a nest. Its not great the first few times but he gets the hang of it way quicker than he thought he would. When he finally shows dick his new skill, the boy is over the moon. That night is all cuddles and laughter. And Bruce never stopped making nests, he made a big family one and eventually he made one in his own bed.
Then his Jay came home for the first time, and one of his biggest challenges was bruces scent. The boy could not stand it. It would make him fearful and uncomfortable. And while scent blockers fixed that issue, the boy couldnt smell anything and that also made him uncomfortable. It took a lot of looking around before Bruce finally found a solution.
There where oils you could put on your scent glands that would temporarily change you scent to something else. Harsher or sweeter, depending on the desired effect. So the alpha got it, intending to only use them for a few weeks to get Jay to adjust better.
Although when on a rare occasion dick came home to visit, he reacted very positively to the new scent. He even gave bruce a hug and scent marked him a little bit. Needless to say he never stopped using them, until his scent was naturally sweeter. People had talked about that being a potential risk for long term use, but it just made things easier for the alpha.
Eventually as he brought more and more children home, each needed a new small accommodation from him. While all not big asks, together they added up. Eventually Bruce realized, in his home, he has essentially socially transitioned to an Omega.
His kids call him mom, he has nests and a sweet scent. He taught himself to purr and scent mark the way Omega’s do, IE more cuddling and physical affection than just brushing up against someone. He wore softer, flowing outfits at home. And as his beloved cass got into fashion designing, she started making him comfortable dresses. A traditionally Omega clothing style, though not so much in the last few decades. He's even noticed his ruts being off, more gentle and desperate.
He wasn't an Omega but he wasent an alpha anymore.
But his kids were happy and he honestly didn't mind, he quite enjoyed the changes happening to him. So he continued life as is, being mom and such.
Although he did notice Clark acting off. In the early years of their friendship, Bruce suspected the other man of having a puppy crush on him. But it seem to go away so he never brought it up. But then, when his scent started to change even if he didn't use the oils, Clark started to pay more attention to him. It reminded him of those old cartoons where someone would smell a pie and start floating and following it. Sometimes literally.
And when Clark started tk really be more part of the family, he saw just how bruce acted and was treated at home. Like a pack Omega. And eventually, Clark started to act and get treated like the pack Alpha. Once Jason started to come home more consistently and re-integrating into the pack, one of the first things the boy did was show submission to Clark. Not fully, to be honest it was only a little bit. He bared his neck, but for Jay, that was a lot. And Clark happily accepted him back.
So it was only a matter of time before Clark helped bruce with his 'rut'. And after the week was over and he had a fresh bite mark on his neck, it wasn't long before bruce notice his body was finally completing its changes. His stomach was cramping awfully for the next week and he stayed in the family next the whole time. The kids stayed by with nervous excitement. While it wasent fun seeing their mother in pain, this meant his internal organs were adapting and a baby sibling could be in their future. And Clark was just happy his omega could finally be in a body bruce was happy with, purring like a diesel engine once the transition was complete.
Bruce Wayne, an omega, just gave birth and is horribly aware of how out of shape he's going to be for the next couple of months. Not in an insecure, self-conscious of how he looks way, but in an I can't protect my city if I'm not in the most optimal shape possible way. Except, they're both equally draining on his mental state (even if he doesn't want to admit to feeling bad about his body for a more... cosmetic reason).
So Bruce has two problems: he's not as fit as he was pre-partum, and he feels bad about it.
His solution? Darling baby Dick as his workout buddy.
It's genius. He was already going to put himself through many intense workout sessions, but to counteract the bad feelings that kept nipping at him—despite very adamantly pushing them away—his puppy was the clear answer. Skin-to-skin contact with his baby makes him happy. Seeing his baby makes him happy. Being around his baby makes him happy. Thinking about his body makes him sad. Baby + working out = best outcome.
Cue Bruce reconstructing his regime solely based on bringing four-month-old Dick into it.
A mile jog with Dick in a stroller, after they've had breakfast together (Dick falls back asleep)
30 minutes of meditation with Dick, cuddled up in his lap and clutching at his shirt
A sparring session where Dick watches from the sidelines, giggling and clapping
30 laps in the pool as Dick tries to follow in a Batman floatie wearing little sunnies (with Alfred watching)
Target practice (for as long as Dick naps)
Lunchtime (he woke up from his nap)
15 minutes of coloring (per Dick's insistence)
5 sets of 12 pull-ups with Dick in a carrier on his chest, laughing at the sensation of being bounced
5 sets of 50 pushups with Dick on his back, treating Bruce as his personal rollercoaster, and tugging at his hair
5 sets of 30 weighted sit-ups, where Dick is the weight
And lastly, for Dick's favorite part
Kissing little Dickie on his chubby cheeks and button nose and little fingers (and everywhere else) (ends when Bruce gets all the cuteness aggression out of his system)
Bruce loves his baby. Dick loves his mama. Problem solved. He uses this routine for years until Dick gets too old, that's when he begins training with him.

I really love it when the family is protective over Bruce.
And Bruce also realizing that the love isn't as one sides as he thinks. The stories when he's shocked that they're really caring a lot more than he thought they would.
<emperor penguin defence mechanisms> by Erisette
is exactly the kind of story like this, and I re read it a lot, just because I love the idea of Bruce being comforted by his family.
Animal Shifter AU where Bruce's form is a bat, and when he finds out Jason's identity he gets so overwhelmed by emotion he shifts and just squeaks up a storm, calling out desperately for his little miracle boy, and Jason who is so filled with rage and hate is snapped out of the pit haze by seeing such a small creature so clearly distressed. He's still angry, still bitter, but he can't bring myself to hurt his father.
Jason, who is furiously threatening to kill Bruce even as he cradles the small bat to his chest, who is plastered so firmly against Jason's chest plate it's as though he's trying to fuse into Jason's skin. Bruce doesn't shift back even when he's able to, when he's not overwhelmed anymore, because Jason will leave again when he's a person, and Jason takes the time to air out all of his grievances while Bruce can't talk back to defend himself.
Jason ends up going to a safehouse and Bruce stays with him for like two days, and by the end of it Jason feels significantly better because his dad is being so clingy and affectionate that it reminds him of the happiest years of his life, spent in Wayne Manor. His anger burns out quickly, and he can't bring it back. When Alfred tracks his ass down, not knowing who the Red Hood is yet but furious because he thinks Jason killed or took Bruce, he damn near shoots down the door of Jason's safehouse to see Jason reading on his couch, Bruce (as a bat) curled up on his shoulder and nuzzling his little head into the underside of Jason's jaw.
And obviously Jason can't deny Alfred anything so he gets dragged back to Wayne Manor where Dick and Tim await, losing their minds with worry.
OK i dont know how this would happen, ima just word vomiting but something like this:
Bruce has lowkey been exiled from the family for like 2 years. Occasionally they'd respond to a text and maybe hed see one at a gala, but outside of that? Nothing. Most importantly they haven't seen him, really seen him, in two years. He also got forcibly retired as the batman at the same time.
Maybe Bruce did something, thinking it was the right thing but going about it horribly. Maybe someone new came into the picture and was able to manipulate the family and Justice league into turning against bruce.
(Tbh i think that one could be more interesting since I've always thought there was a double standard with bruce. The league is always so upset at his contingencies even though hes dealing with their mind control bullshit every other week and the kids can't really separate the bat and dad. They can take his decisions as personal slights (not all the time) when hes really trying to be a good leader or a good dad. It also kind of reminds me of the stigma with black cats and bad luck)
But with either, jason was not involved. He was still not on good terms so he was out of the loop and didn't care.
Now its been two years and bruce is.. doing bad. Like really bad. He's been struggling with a drug addiction for a year now, and hes slipping further and further down that path. He doesnt want to, but he needs to feel something. Anything. He doesnt care at this point.
He rarely leaves the penthouse hes confined himself too unless its for an official event. he eats, works out, does cocaine (cuz rich people drug), and sleeps. He doesnt feel alive any more. He doesn't care anymore.
Cue jason, maybe he was bored and hadn't fucked with the old man in forever, maybe he needed information on an old case. Whatever the reason, he goes to find the man by himself. And to say he was shocked was an understatement. He's completly frozen, seeing the penthouse absolutely destroyed. Not gross, like theres food but theres holes in the walls, bookshelves broken on the floor, shattered glass. Its a visual of a broken mind.
He find the man in the tub, eyes hazy and trembling. Obviously high out of his mind. And jason? He makes his decision right then.
He picks the man up, gets him in fresh(est he can find) clothes and then hauls him out of the building. He's essentially kidnapping the man but bruce is too drugged out to even notice.
Bruce is going to get clean, if its the last thing Jason does.
The next few weeks are horrific, once the drug are out of his system enough to be coherent, bruce is mortified. He never want to have his kids find him like that, especially jason and his prior trama. So when hes conscious, jason tells him that If he loves Jay, he will get clean. And who is Bruce to tell him no, even if its the most agonizing thing hes ever done. Cold turkey is no joke.
Eventually, with a lot of patience and determination, bruce is out of active addiction and is 2 months sober. The older man is starting to wonder when Jason's going to get sick of him at his apartment but he's not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. He starts cleaning and cooking, doing fatherly things (at least he thinks it is, stitching up ur kid is normal right?)
They've got a good thing going on now, and after 6 months the relationship really flourishes. They can open up to each other and Bruce has even started to help the red hood on the side lines. Picking up an almost oracle role for the man, and patching him up. He doesnt go out as the bat or any vigilante, he... doesn't really want to. Bruce is happy just living with his son and being a dad (though his ache for his other kids is ever present). And when jason starts to finally bring roy and lian around, once he trusts his father? Oh Brucs spoils the hell out of that little girl, she has him wrapped around her little finger.
After a year, Bruce, Jason, Roy, and Lian move in together to a brownstone he had brought many years ago. The younger men have been wanting to move in together for a while now, and with bruce they could really do it.
For bruce, its perfect. He's got his boy and son in law, and his beautiful granddaughter. And of course, the other shoe drops.
Depending on what you want the cause to be it could be different. But I think it be interesting to have Jason invite the other kids to a house warming party, and properly introduce them to his family. Now I think Jason, being the little shit he is, would 'forget' to inform them of his other house hold member. Bruce would know, in fear of causing some kind of relapse and so he can mentally prepare to face his kids for the first time in 3 years.
Bruce and lian are in the kitchen, working away. The man has been stress cooking for two days, so there is quite the feast. And the rest of the kids start making there way in at the same time, thankfully the kitchen is out of sight.
Jason makes some polite small talk, just waiting for the chance to drop the bomb. Eventually Dick asks where the little squirt is, and with the most innocent smile he can muster, he tells his older brother 'oh! She's with her gramps, the two are practically conjoined'.
Everyone seems a little confused, and Tim asks Roy is they mean Oliver. Roy's face of disgust is quick sort that question out but then who is it? Jason, with now the most evil smile hes ever had stares each one of them in the eye and calls out 'dad! Can you bring lian in here? The rest want to meet her'
Shyly, bruce walks out, with an apron on that says kiss the cook, and little lian on his hip. He's almost half Grey now, more wrinkles than they remember, but his eyes sparkle. Hes... soft.
He whispers to his granddaughter to say hi to her aunts and uncles, which she does before hiding her face in his neck. Bruce looks pretty awkward, not really know what to do in the silence. Eventually he quietly says a greeting but when its obvious no one is going to say anything back he returns to the kitchen.
When its just the kids again, Jason finally explains everything. The drugs, the recovery, how their relationship is now. All of the kids have eyes to reckon with the fact Jason of all people now is the closest to their father.
With enough time, bruces relationship with all of his kids get repaired and stay that way now there is no mission, but him and jason are always very close.
TLDR Bruce has to accept help and know he is loved, Jason has to overcome his trauma and deal with his father being a broken human being.
Dominant omega Bruce with all alpha children, protective and hissy over them in the nest while in heat like they aren't taller than him.
Beta Bruce with a mix of alpha and omega children, trying his best while they secretly fight over their mother and who gets to scent him more heavily, yes he's still the mom.
(Probably submissive) Alpha Bruce with a mix of pups, still hissy like hell when anyone enters his den while one of his pups is sleeping, YES HE'S STILL THE MAMA.
Wayne Manor is aesthetically gothic, very dark Gilded Age chic with portraits of past Waynes on the walls but Bruce finds it a morbid tradition and he decides that the pictures he leaves behind for future Waynes aren't going to be imposing ghosts to stare at with guilt and a sinking feeling of "letting the family down". Bruce does sit for the obligatory oil painting for continuity's sake but every other image of him and the kids?
There's framed photographs of each of the kids with their highschool diplomas, even their class graduations. There's snapshots from galas, not the glitzy glamour shots printed on glossy magazines but candids of the kids in the car afterward, ties unravelled, shoes kicked off. There's pictures of the kids in costume, Halloween costumes that is, throughout the years from Dick in his very first fat little bumblebee costume to the most recent Damian as Derek Shepherd. There are prom photos. There are snaps with the kids from the Titans and Young Justice, There's photographs of the kids out at the park or on the grounds of the Manor. Pictures of Bruce and Alfred throughout the years. Alfred with the kids. Pictures from birthday parties, family gatherings nothing Bat related. And all their achievements. Dick at a gymnastics meet, red faced and grinning between Bruce and Alfred. Jason on stage as Peter Pan for a school play, caught waving to Bruce. Tim with Tony Hawk at the skatepark at some competition. Cass graduating from her literacy class in the city, almost hidden by the bunch of flowers that Bruce presented her. A film poster for Duke's student film. Damian's award winning drawings and paintings. A snap of Steph at one of her piano recitals with a follow up snap of her hanging out of the limo Bruce sent to ferry her to the event.
Nobody is dressed in furs, pearls or designer labels. The kids are kids, Bruce is wearing a sweater or a t-shirt and jeans. And they're all smiling, really smiling and not that fake plastic smile they flash for the cameras.

"Damian hates Tim. "Damian tried to kill Tim." Blah blah blah, I raise you, Damian trying to be like Tim in a younger sibling way. If he sees Tim drinking a Zesti Cola, Damian will also drink one even if he's not a fan of the brand. Tim is wearing baggy clothes? Damian is scrounging around the attic for old clothes to try and mimic the look. Tim trying to solve a case? Damian will also demand a case of his own to work alongside him. He sees Tim skateboarding? A new skateboard has been delivered to the manor with same day delivery. Everyone thought this was his weird way of competing with Tim until they walked into the Batcave one day.
_
Jason: Is he... drinking a Zesti? I thought he didn't like them.
Dick: Forget the soda. Why is he dressed like like that? I thought he said Tim had "poor fashion tastes."
Duke: Are you sure he wasn't talking about you? Besides, I was told they couldn't work together peacefully, but here they are.
Cass: I saw him trying to skateboard yesterday.
Duke: Is it just me, or do they kinda look similar?
Dick: Wait, is Damian trying to copy Tim? I thought I'd be the cool older sibling he'd try to copy!!
Jason: Why would he choose you? You're old and lame.
Dick: Excuse me!! Why is everyone picking on me today?
Cass: Shh, look *points at Tim and Damian*
Everyone looks to see Damian organizing case files and paperwork the same way Tim has.
Jason: Oh my god!! He IS trying to be like Tim!!
Duke: This is weird, right? I can't be the only person who thinks this is weird.
Cass: I think it's sweet
Jason: I can't believe he decided Tim was the standard. I'm literally right here.
Duke: *side eyeing Jason* Yeah, maybe it's a good thing he chose Tim. Still, we're closer in age. You'd think it'd be me.
Dick: Do you think Tim knows?
At that moment, Tim looks up at them with a smug grin
Dick, Jason, Cass, and Duke: Yeah, he knows
_
I think it'd be cute if Damian was the stereotypical younger sibling that wanted to be like his cool older brother. Tim absolutely knows, and although he's smug about it, it does warm his heart that Damian chose him despite their past differences.
_
Thought of this at 3 a.m. and fell asleep before I could write it 🤍 Hope you enjoyed this and remember, I am not responsible if you think this is what they're like in canon :)
Bruce has his ditzy Brucie Wayne shtick to fall back on to keep people from suspecting him of being Batman but what about Tim? Red Robin is known to be the smart one and Tim makes no secret of his brains. Sure people will forget that Bruce was smart enough to go to medical school but not the fact that Tim is a CEO.
So far Tim can cover his vigilante side with excuses of being too busy but he needed something more. Something that would distract people from seeing any comparisons between him and Red Robin.
Enter Danny. Danny hates rich snobs but he loves pissing off Vlad. Vlad loved to boast endlessly about how smart his godson is. Add to the fact that Vlad is allowed to spend more time with the family as whole since his redemption/Danny literally pulled the ghost side out of him. Vlad was still an annoying snobby asshole who Danny hates with a passion.
Danny wasn't going to suffer like Sam and her parents. Nope, he put on a show as a loud, bratty, and dramatic guy. Far from the polite, smart, and sincere boy Vlad painted. Especially since Vlad was just trying to get Jazz and Danny better odds of getting into good colleges and more connections. And hopes of getting them into good wealthy families for his own connections. He's not evil but he still was a bad person. He planned to use them as puppets for his business.
Danny catches a lot of attention with his act and goes as far as using a Valley girl accent. Everyone saw him as a spoiled brat who would be a pain in the ass to deal with and dismissed him as such.
Tim wasn't so easily fooled and realized that he could use it. They ended up striking up a conversation and Tim was able to get Danny to briefly give up the act when he talking about a recent space expedition.
Tim wanted them to make a scene and the they were discovered making out in some corner of the event hall.
The tabloid published that Tim Drake was having wild nights just like his father. Tim had actually asked Danny to have a fake relationship. All Danny needed to do.was be as unbearable as possible and make it look like he keeps Tim on a short leash.
And Danny agreed because Vlad HATES the Waynes and I practically begging Danny to stop this.
The tabloid never shut up about Danny, so much he overshadows the Waynes in any new report because the paparazzi love a villain.
Tim is too busy with a case to go to a gala? Danny starts an argument with Tim and blasts it all over Twitter about how Tim cares more about a stupid party full of boring people over him.
Tim can't come it to work because he is on a mission? Danny damanded a vacation on a private island to reward him for putting up with Tim and his family.
Rouges on the loose after a break out? Tim has to stay home and comfort his distressed partner or Danny will break up with him.
When Tim is asked about his relationship he says he loves his boyfriend very much and just does what he must appraise him. Tim made it no secret that their relationship was superficial and started because Danny was hot.
The news is bombarded with stories of Danny causing drama all across Gotham. He goes around buying expensive luxury items and destroying them in fits of rage. People are lined up to get his approval for their products and people unironically love him, hate him or hate to love him. They stalk his social media and read every article on him. Yeah, he's a bitch but he is THE bitch. Everyone is jealous of him as Tim's "hot wife" that he does everything for. Who wouldn't want to be him? There is even people who'd rather be in Tim's shoes and have a trophy like that.
