Literally Bruce in Robin Lives! and other comics: Nobody blames me more for what became of my kids than myself. Taking them in was a selfish decision. I fucked them up, I'm leading them nowhere than pain and death. I should isolate myself and stop interacting with anyone else to stop hurting people, to stop hurting them. (Is often shown that he is wrong and his kids don't blame him, EVEN JASON)
Some genius on Tumblr: Bruce thinks he saved his kids for taking them in, but everyone else can see he is the one who fucked up some perfectly healthy kid!
Obsessed with how shy Bruce was. He was so introverted and awkward. He comes across so confident when he’s in the suit but immediately when he’s out of it he seems like he just wants to sink through the floor when talking with people. Every time he had to make eye contact it looked like it caused him physical pain. Incredible
i do really love the idea of Time Shenanigans leading to ~13-year-old Damian meeting all former Robins at the same age, because every single one of them is just the exact opposite of what he’d expect.
Dick, who Damian expects to be the cool nice supportive one, at thirteen is fucking furious at the idea that there are any Robins after him. Stephanie, far from the perky optimist he knows, is a hardcore cynic who thinks Batman is super cool and hasn’t even become a vigilante yet. Jason, who has previously interacted with Damian mostly via bullets, is a sweetheart who’s exceptionally insecure at the idea of Bruce getting another Robin.
And meanwhile Tim at thirteen is like “oh you’re the next Robin? Heck yeah, that’s awesome, glad it worked out.”
Such a dog

Can you imagine Damian going through his puberty voice change while trying to intimidate villains?
Damian, in his new Manly Voice: Surrender or suffer.
Condiment King: Never! *sprays soy sauce at Bruce*
Damian: You coward. You fiend. How d—*voice crack, suddenly sounds like Minnie Mouse* —dArE yOU—
Condiment King:
Damian:
Bruce:
Tim: LOL
Condiment King, overcome with secondhand embarrassment: You know what, I’m gonna head home
you are not a machine. you are more like a garden. you need different things on different days. a little sun today, a little less water tomorrow. you have fallow and fruitful seasons. it is not a design flaw. it is wiser than perpetual sameness. what does your garden need today?
Jason: You're an awful person.
Damian: Maybe. But I'm rich and I'm pretty so it doesn't really matter.
