bruce “piles my entire moral framework onto dick’s shoulders and blames him when either one of us buckles under it bc i know deep down he’s the only one that’ll forgive me for it” wayne

#i was half-coherently thinking about that scene when bruce and dick are beating the shit out of each other after dick’s “death’’ #and also that line where dick’s like: bruce…nothing can be same btwn us ever again #and i KNOW this is bc of shitty writing but the way that statement was proved laughably false by #their dynamic snapping back to exactly what it was #(i haven’t read taylor’s nightwing run) #and those thoughts somehow led here #no alfred doesn’t count. rn i can’t articulate why but i may be able to if you ask me in the morning. but he doesn’t qualify for this #bruce wayne #batman #dick grayson #nightwing #dc
