Do the cutscenes actually change based on who you’re playing. As far as I can tell the little quips when investigating stuff is the only real difference. Why play the game 4 times to play each character when you can do all of their personal stories in one playthough, even if you main one person the whole game and then do the other three as clean up.

Grayson is lacking his "motherly touch". Barbara is dealing with her own grief and slowly works through it. Tim doubts himself a lot while he works on his grief with Batmans death and proves to himself that he can still be Red Robin.
