Bruce keeping a tighter and tighter lid on his identity around the Justice League because with each new person to reveal their identity he realizes that he has fucked far too high a percentage of his co workers as Bruce Wayne and he has to take this secret to his grave
Dick's cackle scares the shit out of everyone— and by everyone, I mean EVERYONE.
Imagine Jason, just minding his business and Dick is there too, on his phone, watching something when suddenly Dick starts cackling at something he saw. Jason got a whiplash as he turned to Dick, a horrified expression on his face. He is so damn close to dumping Dick in a pool of holy water.
Or Batman is fighting some goons with Robin!Dick and he starts cackling as he takes down goons. Bruce had to stop himself from flinching at the sound of his ward's cackling.
Dick also have managed to scare Tim, Steph and Duke— even Cass and Damian. He practically scared everyone at this point, including his own friends who have heard his cackle for years now.
And when whatever Rogue hears the iconic Robin/Nightwing cackle, they're definitely running away because no way are they going to be fighting the creepiest Robin.
Edited: also yes, this is inspired by YJ Dick because I love him.
I like to think it's still Jason who died in the snyderverse. Dick still moved to Blüdhaven where Tim finds him and does his whole 'Batman needs a Robin'-speech after the events of Batman vs Superman. Then, in the aftermath when they head to Gotham to confront Bruce about it, Red Hood shows up and it seems Bruce is too busy with trying to build up the Justice League and guilt-tripping himself about Superman to notice. But Dick and Tim do. So they go to confront Red Hood alone only to find out it's actually Jason.
Somehow they manage to convince Jason to stop his crusade and come with them to Blüd, but that obviously means they can't go and talk to Bruce. That would be a disaster at the moment. No, Jason needs more time before they can even think about that. So it seems like Dick and Jason will just have to train Tim themselves, after all.
Damian shows up a few weeks later, absolutely livid that Jason didn't think to take him with him when he left (I love the idea of them meeting in the league and forming a brotherly bond). Jason explains who Dami is and now talking to Bruce is suddenly very necessary again.
Before they can, however, the events of Justice League happen and now they've got their hands full fighting off parademons in Gotham and Blüd. Though once the fight is over they head to the lake house immediately where Alfred breaks down crying upon seeing them, embracing all of them (including Tim and Damian because he's just as bad as Bruce when it comes to kids; they're his now).
Fast forward a couple of months and Batman has missed several League meetings in a row and no one can seem to reach him so the JL makes the executive decision to go and investigate.
When they enter the batcave they're greeted by the Spice Girls playing loudly over the speaker system, Dick and Jason are sparring in the corner (wearing Wonder Woman and Superman merch respectively) while Tim and Bruce are sitting at the batcomputer doing who knows what and Damian is sitting in the floor, happily playing with his new puppy.
Damian is the first to notice the intruders. All hell breaks loose and Bruce has to keep his son from trying to murder his allies (including his future stepdad).
That's how the Justice League meets the Batfam in the Snyderverse. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Demons and monsters that torture people because they feed on human suffering are so dumb. People are suffering everywhere my guy go literally any place and take a deep whiff.

In the DC world before Martha and Thomas Wayne were killed in an alley, they were incredibly in love. They were also very Gotham.
Rather than the Addams family existing in the dc universe as actual people, Martha and Thomas Wayne were the inspirations for the Addams Family in the dc world. The cartoonist who created the Addams family cartoon strip in the dc world went to a Gotham gala and saw Martha and Thomas, saw Thomas being an absolute simp for his beloved wife. He then witnessed a sword fight that broke out during the gala because Gotham. No one in Gotham bats an eye at a sword fight no matter the time period. No one in Gotham bats an eye at anything because even before the Bat came about, Gotham was still Gotham and people roll with the weird in Gotham. Sword fights were normal. Sword fights are still normal. Different types of sword fighting are electives you can take instead of gym in some Gotham high schools. The cartoonist got out of Gotham by the skin of his teeth and vowed never to return. Tiny Bruce was happier when he was little but he was still a Gothamite and absolutely inspired tiny Wednesday Addams who, by Gotham standards, is quite a pleasant and normal little girl.
Grown up Bruce deliberately avoids Addams family related media. His kids are all amused by the show if/when they see any of it because the Addams really are quite tame by Gotham standard.
people do correctly identify that laios is autistic fairly often but a lot of the reasoning begins and ends with his special interest and social difficulties, but honestly it goes far deeper into the build of his character than just those two things
his pain tolerance is wildly inconsistent, unable to tolerate a drop of hot oil (or any heat) but able to shrug off both his leg being bitten off and it being reattached
hes sensory seeking in the extreme. he rubs the bat bones against his face, pets and fluffs the shapeshifter tail.
his desire to eat monsters comes from three very autistic places. 1) the rules for why monsters are not okay to eat but animals are are arbitrary to him so he cannot follow them easily: he cannot understand the 'feelings' argument others make. 2) this too is a sensory seeking behavior. he wants to experience these new things, new flavors and new textures. 3) it completes his knowledge of the monster in question to also have data on its edibility. because he cannot draw that arbitrary line around all monsters, he wants to evaluate them case-by-case and see if real patterns emerge. butchering and eating the monsters improves his knowledge of them greatly and highlights their importance in their ecosystem, as well as making him a part of that same ecosystem
he cannot emote the way others expect him to. he compartmentalizes his feelings (to an unhealthy degree) because he needs a pragmatic solution. so as long as there is a problem to solve, that matters far more than evaluating his emotions and allowing himself to experience them. while this is also a coping mechanism for ptsd, it is a trait found in many autistic people regardless of trauma, as we have trouble sorting the feelings we have and often need time to think about what we feel, so it becomes easier to simply not do it and pretend we dont need to. laios emotions certainly affect him, with or without his processing them, but others do not see what they expect to see and thus dismiss that he is feeling what they would feel
he is incredibly gifted with pattern recognition, observation, and analysis within realms he understands. to understand subjects that dont come easily to him, he must filter them through his established schema (his special interest--this is why they are so special! they help us sort the world). when he isnt sure about the social cues and details hes observed in the shapeshifter arc, he filters it through the lens he understands best: monsters. he was making correct observations about his friends all along, but he could not be confident in that the way he was about their behavior when it came to his interest (chilchucks caution, senshis passions, and marcilles carelessness)
