also i need bruce to have a traumatic response to the sound of gunshots(he learns to hide it when fighting crime cuz Gotham)
no-one realizes until while he was a bit too relaxed, Jason shot something (like a target) and he just spirals
plot twist - the JL is there
the angst potential-
imagine everyone just panicking
cuz they are used to angry bruce, disappointed bruce, maybe even the rare happy Bruce
but sad spiralling bruce?
they are used to HIM dealing with other's spirals
I need more people to acknowledge that bruce is not gonna be a great parent, but i'll be damned if he doesn't try
His parents are dead, and as far as I've seen, the only real, not-explicitly-toxic relationship he has is with Alfred, his butler
and remember that, at least for a long while, as much as Alfred cared, he still drew a very clear (sometimes limiting) line between them as butler-and-master
so no Bruce does not know what he is doing with any of his relationships, familial or romantical
and no he probably will never really learn
he's going to make absoulutely horrible, relationship-ending choices, but can you truly look me in the eye and say that any batman does not truly love and value every single relationship he is in (asides from when dc butchers everyone's personalities)
so I need to see more fics like this,
a bruce who tries and fails,
who does not know how to deal with any of this,
and so hides behind a mask or a doof smile, uses his persona to try to deal with it, to try to cope
a broken batman who doesn't know what's wrong with him but desperately wants to fix it, only, if only, just to maintain whatever semblance of love he gets from his friends, his kids
maybe that's why he has so many, desperately searching for any warmth in the innocent's child eyes
