i’ll personally fight whoever came up with these lines for bruce.

what the actual fuck.

listen, bruce wayne is hardly the perfect parent. but if you think he would:

a) call jason an “insolent bonehead”  b) say he thinks jason needs an occasional kick in the ass c) beat him up brutally, the way he did

you’re wrong. bruce has many flaws. he is emotionally constipated, he is stupidly obstinate, he has a very hard time letting go of control, amongst many other things. he’s made plenty of mistakes. but he isn’t... whatever this is.

he loved, no, he loves jason. he carries immense guilt over what happened to him and his death resonates with him to this day. it’s a traumatic event he has a hard time letting go of.

this panel feels off, it doesn’t feel like bruce. how he expresses himself, his attitude towards jason, even how he views him. bruce may disagree, frown upon and get angry at jason’s views or actions but he wouldn’t think or express that jason “needs a kick in the ass”, especially so lightly, so superficially. he knows jason very well - he knows his harsh background, knows his difficult story, knows his potential. he’s no “bonehead”. that’s his son. that’s his son who died. they try to cover it up with that last “sweet” comment but it feels off considering his previous words.

it feels as if dc likes writing for shock value or to try and keep things edgy. and the writing and characterization of the characters suffers because of that.
