Just imagine, Wayne's family trip anywhere in the middle of summer, Bruce wears I'm sorry, they bite T-shirt, and batkids wear not sorry, we do T-shirts but in different colours.

Adore batfamily batdad Batman but also Robin-centric DC adaptions that paint Batman as a bad father are very personal to me
Bc it is kinda fucked up actually to take a broken child and teach them to use their emotions as a weapon knowing all you wanted when you were a broken child was for your parents to be there and that all that rage never made up for the fact that they weren’t

Prompt:
The first mission the Court send their newly minted Talon on is an assassination attempt on the ward of one Bruce Wayne… Dick Grayson.
Calvin— can’t kill Dick. He can’t.
He didn’t know it would be the boy he grew up in the circus with they want him to murder in cold blood. He didn’t know— didn’t recognize him until the knife was already at his throat.
But he remembers now. And he won’t do it. Never. Never.
He’ll run. Disappear. Dick doesn’t know who he is, it’s better that way, and if he’s lucky the Court will be too busy hunting him to care about the failed assassination.
Unfortunately for Calvin, Dick does remember; Recognizes the Talon.
And he’s not inclined to let his childhood best friend slip through his fingers again after years of believing him dead.

Fic Idea
Okay, I kinda ended up stumbling into another Batfam series idea...
Love the Baby Robins trope, but of course, if you actually think about it it is horrifying to have a twelve year old investigating serial killers in Gotham...
So currently I'm more or less coming up with Supernatural Batfam ideas to cancel out the child soldier angle of Robin.
I wanted a series idea where Bruce is actually doing the right thing - or at least, choosing the least damaging option - by making the kids Robins.
So, this one.
In Indian folklore, it is believed that those who die an unjust death can come back as Other.
Which flavor of Other can vary, going from vampiric ghosts to local gods.
The usual pattern in the lore is that, those who die unjust deaths - especially if they died young - come back vengeful, dangerous.
Deadly. Not just to the ones who wronged them, but to everyone. They are furious, destructive, lashing out at every living thing.
So when someone comes back like that, the local people begin to try and pacify them. Give them offerings. Pray to them. That goes on long enough, the Other becomes benevolent. Becomes a local guardian spirit instead of vengeful demon.
Basically you deal with a destructive Other by literally taming them with love.
Thinking about how this can fit Gotham Rogues.
A lot of them had tragic pasts. Pasts that could very well have killed them.
So the Rogues can be the vengeful Others. Jack Napier who died falling into that chemical vat, Harleen Quinzel killed by a trigger happy cop during an Arkham Breakout when she was trying to protect her patients, Harvey Dent dying after the acid attack, etc.
Batman starts out hunting the vengeful Others, wanting to lock them away forever (Arkham has special units which work better than normal cells would but not good enough), but his method of dealing with Others has to change when he sees the Graysons die.
Dick falls too. And unlike his parents, he won't move on, becoming an Other... on the way to becoming one of the vengeful Others, one of the demons.
Bruce can't lock a child away in Arkham - even an Other child.
So he and Alfred basically calls in every contact they have, trying to figure out some way to prevent the kid from turning into one of the haunters.
And finds out it is possible for an Other to become a guardian spirit, if enough positive emotions are directed their way. Love and worship.
Hence, Robin.
The Light of Gotham. Adorable, popular. Hero-worshipped.
Turning from vengeance to Guardian spirit...

A part of the mission
So I love Batdad as much as anyone else, and yes it is amusing that he keeps adopting orphans and such but I think we do need to look into WHY he does it and why he feels the need to do it and is so naturally paternal. Its because it an extension of his mission, his compulsion and vow. Remember, that when Bruce experienced his parent's Murder he swore that what happened to him would NEVER happen to anyone else. His creed isnt just a vow to fight crime, its to stop what happened to him from happening to others. Now, while this mostly manifested AS beating up criminals in his early years yes, thats a point. That he got lost in that part of the vow before Dick came along. Then, he realized another part of his vow. To make sure that this boy didn't grow up without a father, without a family to welcome him home, and to make sure he didn't feel as isolated and alone in the world as when it first happened to him. So I belive that Batman became Batdad, and has such a strong compulsion to help children and adopt those in need because t is part of his vow and what he needs to do. To ensure that no boy grows up like he did.
