5 Times Batman Was A Good Father

[@beaverscope8317]

Batman doesn't let his Robins dress in bright colours to attract attention . he let Richard Grayson dress in bright colours because those were the colours of the flying Graysons and Batman let Richard wear these colours to honour his parents , as for why he lets the other Robins where bright colours , well he gives them a choice of what colours they want and they choose to classic Robin colours because Richard Grayson made them iconic for the mantle of Robin .

[@peacetotheworld5051]

I would say Batman's coldness depends on the continuity. I'm reminded of the Justice League unlimited episode where he comforts a dying child. It's a touching moment and indicative that his heroism isn't just taking down villains. Obviously some writers will use Batman differently in a story to contrast him with other characters. A lot of Nightwing stories are like this. They'll show Batman as a very cold and calculating character to contrast him with Nightwing, who's known to be very jubilant, high-energy, and compassionate. Nothing wrong with adapting a character differently depending on the medium, but it definitely hurts the idea that there's just one version of Batman instead of the dozens of adaptations we've gotten.

[@themcknox]

Agree with this, they even did this in Arkham missions with nightwing

[@tjjordan4207]

I believe that episode was "Epilogue", which served as an official closing to Batman Beyond and was originally meant to be the series finale to Justice League Unlimited. But yes, I do remember that episode well, especially for how it showed why the DCAU version of Batman was the definitive one for so many fans. While Batman is cold and seemingly lacking in humanity, this showed that he is the most human out of all the heroes, something that Amanda Waller saw. My second favorite is a scene in Young Justice when the Justice League is voting on new members and Wonder Woman calls out Batman for bringing Dick Grayson into the crime fighting world, which Batman has the best line: Wonder Woman: "So that he could turn out like you?" Batman: "So that he wouldn't."

[@manny123957]

Batman is cold so that he can put fear into people.

[@lordrj4203]

Yeah they mostly do it with Red hood ones Now don't hate Red hood or his motivation I understand where he comes from But what I dislike is those specific Red hood fans whose sole argument is bashing Batman's no kill ideology Like boy Red Hood only work as a contrast to Batman cause of the no kill rule Otherwise presenting a Red Hood without Batman as a contrast is very difficult to make and writers tend to make him more edgy to compensate when Batman isn't in the picture Red Hood over time came to realise he is wrong in what he is doing but he knows somebody has to do what Batman doesn't do Just like how Batman's does his crusade cause he knows that somebody has to do it Also the reason Red hood doesn't go insane or bloodthirsty is because he knows what he does is wrong (the method) but that somebody's gotta do it which is somewhat of a sacrifice in itself If Batman starts to kill along with his immense fear in both criminals and people (due to media's portrayal of him) Gotham's police would give their 100% to subdue or most likely kill him although they wouldn't be successful but still he would be on the highest priority to be caught or eliminated Not to mention then all the corrupted individuals and assassins would be hired alongside to end him as well While Red Hood isn't exactly feared like he would kill/end you but not exactly feared like Batman So Even if he kills criminals he isn't prioritised and left off by the police cause he only kills criminals whom to Red hood seems unforgivable/who can't change for the better in his eyes So yeah if Red hood does it , the most worried person about him is Batman cause he knows what he is doing and how he is feeling and giving in to his vengeance Which Batman has to deal with daily basis Not to mention what it can do to Red hood mentally/emotionally even if it's for the good he thinks is correct But if Batman does it Everyone would lose their sh#t and would try their hardest to stop him/end him

​​@@maramarie17 Probably, the creators do not want to grieve the old fans the way they did with the creators of "Ultimate Spider-Man". In this animated series, Spidey had dozens of friends, Avengers mentors, protection in S.H.I.E.L.D., and even a brother. But fans declared this cartoon an outrage against the canon, because Spidey is happy there and hasn’t lost anyone since Uncle Ben. People are simply afraid to take risks... That’s why people from DC, tired of writing about martyrs, became so secretive. So that haters don't come near them. What is allowed to the fans is not allowed to the creators. But who says a creator can't be a fan?😂

[@cosmic_seabunny]

Batman show’s his affection differently, even with Catwoman ,who he canonically loves, he’s not all that expressive and instead shows his love by his willingness to protect others. He’s the kind of person who doesn’t care about what others think of him, he only wants people to be safe and protected. The way he does this is by giving his children the tools they need to be successful in life. He really does care but sometimes his logic can cause him to overlook emotions and mental health especially his own. I like to think that there where more sweet moments with him and his family we just don’t see it because it doesn’t have anything to do with the plot. ^^

[@AlexM1983DHUN]

Actually there's a twist. When The Return of the Joker came out Red Hood was not even in plans. But! Technically Tim Drake of the BTAS/DCAU was Jason Todd. He had Jason's back story and actually Jason's both pre-crisis and post-crisis personality. May be something from Tim's personality sprinkled in (Tim does not smoke while Jason used to). Most people seem to forget that Jason was quite a bright kid, cannonically, he is smarter than Dick, but less smarter than Tim or Damian. Even as Red Hood he was quite the clever, strategic, ahead planning, cunning, manipulative guy. Somehow the internet made him into just a reckless gun-blazing idiot. Now, there's a twist #2. Now the BTAS has a Jason Todd/Red Hood, but he is just an other guy with someone's name slapped on him. He only has Jason's violent tendencies but in such extreme ways he is overdoing Red Hood's. But, I guess, that what you get when you already have a Jason Todd, who does not stand out.

Or the time he fought Darkseid for Damien, or the time he left KGBeast for dead when KGBeast shot Nightwing in the head, or how sad he was when he found out Tim wanted to give up being a superhero to go to college and that he wasn't able to save him, or adopting Cassandra, or sitting with Jason during recovery after Joker sabotaged his helmet, or the time he fought desperately to save Jason from Mr. Fries because he didn't want to lose him again, (same story also revealed his happiest thought would be killing Joker with Jason ultimately avenging his death) or in fear state, when Nightwing is ambushed, Bruce saves him and says he has no plans to lose his son, (referring to Nightwing) or when he explains that even though he only took Grayson in as ward, he was still a son to him, oh and even though Barbara isn't his kid, his first reaction to Joker shooting her is to kill Joker, which Jim talks him out of. (or not, we still don't know tbh) He's actually a pretty good dad tbh, the time where he isn't are 9/10 from writers who don't understand Batman.

Personally, my favorite time batman was a good father was when he brought damian back to life

[@Stormkrow280]

From what I understand he never forced any of the Robins to be “Robin”, either they asked, went out on their own, or he gave them the option, but he never made they do so

I think it would be great if these five different versions of (Bruce Wayne) aka Batman, who are able to be really good fathers, to have each one of them appear in a cartoon series someday, and show what each version of them look like as well, and to add what realms’s each one is from.

I always liked the "I'm proud of you" moment from Arkham Knight, he doesn't say it enough but when he thinks he's going to die he makes sure to say it to Nightwing

[@Zherxes]

Dick is his golden child. The one he is always proud of. Though people tend to say Dick is the favourite, I think it's actually Jason who is the real favourite child. Batman has a no-kill rule for himself and his children which Jason constantly breaks but he gets forgiven all the time. Plus out of all the batkids, he's the one to call him dad whether serious or in a joking manner. (Damian may call him father but when Bruce is not around the little gremlin addresses him by first name) Damian is his biological child but he's more emotionally attached to Dick and Alfred because they were the first ones to welcome and show him kindness. Hence when Alfred died he went back to his old ways and eventually left the family.

[@niceofgames]

Don’t forget when Terry McGinnis had his own version of Catwoman. He came to Bruce, apologized, and asked if Bruce ever had this happen before. You see Bruce smile, almost like “Want the list in alphabetical or chronological order?” Terry McGinnis IS Bruce’s clone/son though Bruce does not know it.

[@mrphiscal]

You forgot Terry is Bruce​​'s son. ( the moment he said Terry need to eat soup and relax).

I think my favorite is between when he stays home to spend time with Jason, and when he dons the Hellbat Suit to bring Damien’s body from Apokolips, having to duke it out with Darkseid in the process, and winning. Only for Damien to be resurrected and have powers for some time lol

I think that Tim Drake's death in Injustice should've been here. It was really sad. "Maybe when all this is done, we can be Batman and Robin again, huh, Bruce?" *Subsequently gets laser visioned by Zodd*.

[@projectalpha22_va]

I think in a weird way, Batman knows exactly how “bad” he is as a father, and it’s intentional. Bruce is a messed up individual, one he’s stated in the past nobody should model themselves after. He wants to give these kids the best life he can, and so he thinks the best thing to do is to stay out of it. He knows the kids that come through his life turn out right (except Jason which he has still not forgiven himself for), and he understands if he really let them in a lot of bad things could happen. They might realize that the Batman, the hero they look up to as a father, is a miserable wreck. They might lose faith in humanity, seeing that their scarred, broken father has to continue to fight every day to keep an ungrateful public safe. Batman gives them everything they need that he thinks he cannot provide. He knows Alfred is what allowed him to heal to the extent he has, even if he knows at heart he’s still far from healthy. He knows that for many of his wards a routine of exercise, mental training, and engineering will leave them stronger and safer than anyone else in Gotham as well as anywhere else in the world. While the Robin’s certainly do get their asses handed to them from time to time, Batman when in control always is either there as a safety net or has determined (usually correctly as the world’s greatest detective) that the Robins will be capable of completing the mission. The other big part of Batman that we all need to remember is that he might be terrible with people socially but he can read anyone like a book. If Batman genuinely thought a Robin needed to stop, he’d step in. As well, when Batman sees it necessary to connect and show in a more traditional manner to a Robin that he cares about them more than himself, he does. He’s not beyond doing so, and we know for a fact that he’s capable of playing any part due to his identity as Bruce Wayne. Batman likely could at any time fake being a helicopter papa, but I think the fact he doesn’t is almost more powerful in a way, as he doesn’t hide who he is from his children. Overall, I don’t know if I’d call Batman a bad dad. In a traditional western sense, he’s not too engaged externally with his kids often, but internally I think he wants to keep a degree of separation, not for himself, but for his sons and daughters. Batman is a guy who gets the shit kicked out him regularly, has to disappear into different worlds and dimensions for months at a time, and has a tendency to find himself in a constant state of struggle. Would any father want his kids to live through that, or idolize that behavior? There are options Batman could take to remedy this, but in doing so he leaves the city his children live in, and countless other children, in a more dangerous situation. I think Batman is the best dad he can be in this situation, and while that’s not always enough, nothing ever is.

[@silverpslm]

My favorite father moment had to be from Batman and Robin issue 40. If I remember correctly, it's some time after Robin supposedly died, and Batman had to go through hell(Apocalypse) to get him back. After he is revived, Damian goes through several stages of recovery, even getting superpowers. In issue 40, Damian losses his powers, and is finally himself again. At the end of the issue, we get this cool shot of the dynamic duo flying over Gotham. But the best part is when Damian turns and sees Batman is smiling again.

Batman literally is perfected well written A man siding and forming with a team that really is out of his league seeing how he is Man Made a human But a human to even battle through obstacles that a human wouldn't even survive or crossed paths through many Hardships and struggles his moral Code His will of justice speculates how he isn't just a human given how his been pushing himself further without any rest or vulnerability and that is haunting given how dangerous Batman can really be.

In Batman TAS Robin's Reckoning part 2, Bruce reveals to Dick that the reason he didn't want him to go after the man that killed his parents is because he didn't want him to cross the line and never come back from it. He fought the guy on his own while injured. Dick, eventually, goes after the guy, but stops and helps Bruce instead. Actually, that two parter had quite a few bonding moments between Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne.
