when he was robin, bruce could never even slightly raise his voice at jason before feeling like the biggest asshole alive because jason's eyes would get all watery and his bottom lip would tremble and he'd tug on the ends of his shirt, all while looking up at bruce. he'd give a quiet snotty sniffle that should gross bruce out but instead makes bruce's heart SHATTER.
every morning after a fight, alfred would walk into the living room to call them both to eat and he'd just see jason in his dad's lap, giggling while driving a toy car up bruce's arm with a million new toys scattered around the room. bruce sits there with his head tossed back, eyes closed, and an abandoned newspaper in his left hand (he's half asleep bc he spent the entire night ordering shit). he also has glittery stickers pasted on any area of bare skin, including his face.
i don't think jason realizes he has this power. he's just genuinely a kid who gets very emotional when an adult gets cross with him (bc hello this caretaker child would not be able to hand that). any fight with bruce or alfred, he has to fight the urge to burst into tears so hard (he doesn't wanna be a burden) that he just ends up looking heartbreakingly upset, and more like a child than bruce has ever seen him.

Indomitable human spirit
The only person who I think embodies this 100% is Bruce MF Wayne
He’s been creeping people out with his uncanny intelligence the moment he could open his eyes
He regularly goes toe to toe with aliens, gods, metas and supers
He is THE LIVING BREATHING EMBODIMENT of the Indomitable Human Spirit
Try and tell me I’m wrong I fucking dare you

We love Bruce's tragic ignorance of Sheila's role in Jason's death.
We love Jason never telling another soul what Sheila did, because he loves her, because he's grateful she showed him compassion as soon as it didn't cost her anything, because nobody needs to know.
We need to go further.
Jason's last act as Robin got an innocent woman killed. His own mother, a doctor who should've lived many more years making the world a better place.
Poor Doctor Haywood might've survived being forced to work for the Joker, but Jason dragged her into a dangerous confrontation instead.
It's obvious what happened: Jason was trying to show off. He wanted to impress his mother by revealing himself as Robin and taking down the Joker. Treating everything like a game, never considering the consequences.
And despite losing everything to his recklessness, Sheila still used her dying breath to praise him. It's a tragedy that such a sweet woman dedicated her life to caring for others, but her own son doomed her with his carelessness.

do you ever think about the tragedy of bruce wayne and jason todd because i do. imagine your son dying (it changes you so much. you will never be the same man again. you will never see the world the same again)
imagine dying (you were only fifteen. you wanted your dad. you will never be the same again either. all you ever want from now on is your dad.)
and he comes back. and you aren’t the same man as you were when he was gone. and neither is he, because you can’t recognize him. your son is alive, and you’re still mourning him, because the boy who died that day will never wake up.
because all you ever wanted for 4 years was your son back, and all he wanted was his father, and you are in the same city and you don’t even know who the other is anymore. there’s a distance between you that you can’t leap, no matter how high you jump. you will never, ever, go back to the way it was 6 years ago. even though that’s all you really want.

Actually consumed by how much of Gotham War is just pure Monkeys Paw content. Fans are always making posts about how they want to see Dick hit enrage again, or how Bruce used to give Jason piggyback rides, how they want Bruce to call the boys his sons and say he loves them, or how they want to see Tim and Damian hug, and they gave us ALL of it. Just not at all how anyone intended.

Catwoman issue #57
I love Selina's reasoning here, it shows she really knows Bruce. Because he would never forgive her if something happened to Jason and she was involved.
Later on, she also describes Jason as family. Which makes sense. She's in love with Bruce so his kids fall into the family category.

still hyperventilating a little thinking about the grave pretender sneak, Jason’s just so unbothered and cold, watching Bruce start digging up his grave with his bare hands, screaming for his son and Jason finally starts to realize “hmmm…. Mayhaps he was mildly upset by my death…”
Hehe yea, honestly can’t wait to show you guys the full fic 😩
Jason is a vindictive little shit here who resorts to psychological warfare. He wants to go home, but first he wants his family to hurt. Hurt the way he was hurting when he surfaced from the Pit and found out that he got “replaced” and remains unavenged to this day 🥺
Ngl tho I LOVE the mental image and angst of a hysterical Bruce trying to dig up Jason’s grave barehanded.
Hmmmm… now I gotta think of a fic where Jason deliberately buried a phone/receiver/comm in his grave and put it on speakerphone while he watches Bruce become progressively more frantic as he pretends his air is running out and…. Hmhmhmhm

Gotham is sentient. Gotham knows what is going on in. Gotham knows who is fighting for her.
So when the Batman proves himself of trying his very best nearly every night to protect his city, Gotham announces him her knight and shows him a vision. A vision of the future. Of who her next protector will be.
He calls himself the Red Hood. Not the same guy he had already fought, but someone who stands close to him. Who is not afraid to kill.
He is allowed one question.
"What is his name?"
"Jason Todd"
Maybe he can change things.
Not a name that strikes out. Nothing special. But he remembers it.
And then, one night, he meets a boy stealing his tires. He definitely knows how to defend himself, Bruce's bruised ribs are proof of that. But he doesn't have anyone.
So he puts him in Ma Gunn's school for boys. Maybe with some proper guidance he could become Gotham's protector without killing.
But the school turned out to be a crime scheme. Better to remove all variables and train the boy himself.
As the months go by, Jason feels save enough to put his walls down. To not play into the tough guy act anymore. He is positively overwhelmed because this boy is so sweet, so kind and nice and enthusiastic. So Bruce might be doing a good job apparently.
Until. Until the Garzonas case. Bruce has seen it. The man with the red helmet, the guns and the corpses and blood surrounding him. With the same eyes as his son. The knowledge of the future leads him to think that Jason HAS to have pushed Felipe.
Bruce blames himself, thinks he has wasted his time and resources. And it hurts because despite everything he has begun to love this boy. But he is just Batman, he can't change the future.
But then Jason dies. And that hurts more. Because now Jason never even has the chance to grow up to be Red Hood, doesn't have the chance to grow up at all. And he hates himself because sometimes he thinks about if this might be a good thing actually. He died as an innocent child. It's tragic, he deserved better. But maybe this is better than becoming a murderer and it is mercy.
Years later, Red Hood arrives in Gotham.
In front of him stands the man he saw in the future vision all those years ago.
Bruce reflects. If he had just left Jason alone when he first met him. But who knows if it would even have mattered? His biggest regret though is that he ever thought that a child dying might be something good.
After the debacle that was the Joker showdown, Jason multiplies his effort to help Gotham his way times ten. And that's when Gotham awards him with a vision, tells him that he is her paladin and tells him her rules, how he has one question open after seeing who her next protector will be.
Jason doesn't really care for the person in the vision, what happens in the future should stay in the future, because otherwise they were always doomed.
But then it strikes him. An idea. A terrible one but it seems logical. He has to word this carefully. "Has Batman known that I, Jason Todd, would become Red Hood?"
"Yes"
At their next encounter, Jason tells him how much of a savior complex he has. In reality, Jason is deeply hurt. Bruce treated him as someone that deserved to be cherished, to be loved. Treated him as someone valuable. But now he sees that Bruce had only ever seen him as broken, something to fix, someone doomed. Nothing more

Bruce age12: murder is okay and is an action I commit daily the only one of you who is acceptable is the weirdo with a a white streak and is built like a truck. The rest of you need to get a gun but preferably knives for covert killings.
Batkids: *minds are collapsing, Tim has fainted, Jason is on his way to fainting*
Alfred: *sweating and hoping the truth to his a Bruce’s dynamic is revealed*

need a fanfic of Bruce realizing that Jason doesn’t know how to properly do simple “traditional men’s” things (tying a tie, shaving, etc) because Jason had been dead, but now Bruce finally gets to teach him all of those father&son things
