TRICK OR TREAT?
Trick, I hate the minions. ๐๐๐
One of my least favorite things to think about simply because it hurts not because it's objectively a bad premise โis Bruce just gradually showing up less?
When he gets Dick he is so young, scared of messing up, his study bookcase full of parenting books. The result is that he shows upโfor every mathelete meeting or parent teacher day or silly outing to the mall. Then Jason enters his lifeโ its definitely a learning curve and while he isn't there for every event he still shows up, he tries to take Jason to the library on Saturday and show up to school debate but sometimes Alfred or Babs will go in his place. Tim is another storyโ he doesn't have to show up, Tim never asks, and Bruce never offers.
And Damian, well, Damian has Dick.
Sometimes, his two oldest sons feel a stab of something, not exactly nostalgiaโbut something a bit more bitter. They look at the tough lines around his mouth and the set in his brow and wonder when Bruce started to be less Bruce and More Batman.
