is Bruce Wayne a good father?
Is Bruce Wayne a good father?
penny
Based on the Robins? No. Alfred Pennyworth absolutely is.
Fuck no.
Not even vaguely. Emotionally unstable single parent repeatedly endangering and/or abusing the adopted children in his care.
EVen if you ignore the crime fighting part, no. Not by any measure is he a good parent.
Someone post the page where Duke is talking to Dick, Damian, and Jason about the mortality rate that is being Batman's Robin/son.
Not even a little. No matter what justification they drag out dressing up your little kid in a costume and having him fight crime is a bad idea. And then he acts like a prick when they don't do it perfectly.
Better then he gives himself credit for, but it's more like Alfred is a great father and Bruce sometimes manages to not fuck up Alfred's parenting game.
Alfred actively enables the abuse. He's as culpable as Bruce.
...
Alfred shat the bed when it came to raising Bruce, but he learned from it.
God no. With Alfred and Selina being there for Damian, he might have a chance of not ending up a complete psycho
What a heart warming moment. I bet Dick would love a stuffed bunny.
Bruce..
>is emotionally distant
>barely spends time with his kids/proteges outside of crime fighting
>is constantly judging everyone but rarely gives praise
>frequently beats people within an inch of their lives in front of his children. Sometimes forcing said children to jump in and stop him from killing them.
Good father? He needs to be arrested.
In all honesty I think Poison Ivy would make a better mother, considering she Canonically wants to have children but can't due to her being part plant. You know she would straight up maim or murder whoever hit Damian or his friends.
>cass113
How fucking big is this folder?
Fuck no.
I'm surprise dick and Jason todd and Damian like him.
Fuck no.
The short answer is, no.
The long answer is, fuck no.
>Damian
That's a funny way to spell Lucy Quinzel
He's a Cassfag so probably well past 200-300.
>i'm sorry Mr Wayne, but the child protective services says I have to take all these orphans you have adopted.
Bruce is probably a great father by Gotham's standards. None of his kids became a henchman or a comically corrupt cop so he's already better than 90% of the dads in the city
Earth-2 aside, Dick is the only good father in the Batfamily.
WRONG
Jason is a fantastic dad to Bizaro and will be a great dad for his future child that he will have with Artemis
Bruce just needs to marry Poison Ivy. They would mellow each other out, hopefully.
This
Not lately
Well so does Gordon. How the fuck he's ok with children running around fighting psychopaths and criminals I'll never know.
> past 200-300
Oh user it's always much more than that. To be fair though Harley, Ivy, Selina, Barbara, Stephanie, Bruce, Dick, Lord Death Man, and Tim folders are about 200-300 each .
No but he'd be a good Daddy~
so were they fucking or what?
...
No, Bruce was just sad since Alfred had some comic book disease, and Cass didn't feel like getting dressed.
As the UK's old civil defence strategy said:
>"Don't forget, let your children die first... Children are ignorant and of little use."
Sorry it's been a while since I've got into any batfamily comics. Tim's dead?
He's back now.
He got saved at the last second by Mr.
Oz in the first arc of Rebirth DetCom. The most recent arc was about his escape and encounter with Titans of Tomorrow Tim from a soon-to-come Bad Future.
Ivy is for Swamp Thing
Thanks user.
But... Bruce never touched his kids.
No problem. Gonna be storytiming both arcs during a Doomsday Clock primer this week. Just trying to divvy out which books/arcs for which days.
Fuck no. But he was better than the foster system and a mundane life, arguably, and they all became/will become legends only a little less famous than the Batman himself. Fuck, without Dick, the DC setting would be a darker place.
Dick would probably have had an unhappy and unsatisfying upbringing in a low-wage family, never getting catharsis for his parents murder, and returning to the circus and probably dying a depressed drunk or some shit.
Jason would have died young, stabbed by thugs or shot by someone he tried to steal from, or worse, one of the henches that Batman beats up every night.
Tim would have led a happy and boring life.
Damien would have snapped without Robin as an outlet, and probably done something terrible, and returned to his grandfather and mother.
Plus, Alfred makes up for a lot of it.
This basically sums it up.
Kek, fuck off with that snowflake shit. It's comics, and none of these kids were getting any better lives.
I fucking love Long Halloween and Dark Vengeance.
This was only the worthwhile post in this dumpster fire of a thread.
Alright haven't been a fan of King's Batman but that's a great panel
Is Dick's "death" referring to Forever Evil or did he ever actually die like Damian and Jason did?
I think it was Forever Evil. King and Seeley WERE the Grayson writers.
Sure he is. In bed he is the best daddy they could want.
I think the BatxIvy thing has been referenced in either the silver or golden age comics, I saw the page posted once but never saved it. Also I think Ivy is kind of wary of plant based boyfriends after Jason Woodrue tried to meld her into the earth and turned her into a woman who can't get an ounce of sleep because someone chopped down some tree branches adding to her insanity.
Selina is shit and will just fuck damian after she leaves Bruce. She's a good slut but a bad parent
She did OK~~ish with Holly Robinson. Certainly better than Talia did with Damian.
Ivy is for composting.
He was medically dead for a minute there while Lex disarmed the bomb, but I think he's more referring to how he was dead to the world, kind of like how Tim was.
That story arc was so dumb. Literally all them get killed by Bane later on.
Jason is the mom
>Bruce Wayne a good father?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I don't like Tom King's Batman, to be honest it is one of the worst comic runs I have ever read.So his kids, his Alfred, , don't make Bruce happy but with Selina he's getting there. Bruce really?
me on my wedding day, right in front of my beloved father and eight beautiful children: ive never loved anyone before in my entire life.
*me stuffing cat woman’s body into the never happened story line, along with the existence of the joker and when Steve Rogers was a nazi*
Jason is the mom
Ivy is for Harley, you animals
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
THESE
If Gotham existed in the real world, even the most corrupt County/City Child Welfare Agency wouldn't be able to ignore the systemic failure of his 'adoption/warding' of his unpaid army.
Swamp Thing hates her guts though
Wally is cunt.
People in glass houses, user
Ivy deserves better than a degenerate who keeps going back to the abusive murder-clown.
According to T*m K*ng Bruce’s children don’t bring him hapiness in life and that level of ugliness is to be expected from him.
He is a good friend.
do u think bruce will retire as batman after he gets married or tom king will kill him off? i think i read something that about the death of batman in regards to king's run.
How can we know this? He barely raised anyone of the robins
>Ivy deserves better
Yeah, and that's why she deserves Harley. She and her has a chemistry like no other
Fuck off. Most of the Robins would have pursued dangerous vigilante or barely legal lifestyles in the first place. Bruce only provided them with the support and training required to survive that life-style.
user, I hate to tell you this, but the friends who expect you to cook and clean for them at all hours of the date of night, who make you worry constantly about their sanity and well-being, who expect you manage their personal affairs so they can pursue their deranged love of the psychotics in clown make-up ... these people, they are't your friend.
They're just using you.
It doesn't matter if they write you checks or give you things as a substitute for the love and respect they are incapable of offering.
It's still using, user.
Run.
Escape.
Go live your OWN life.
