Without Bruce adopting Jason, Jason never would’ve become Redhood. Not because Bruce was a bad parent, but because he wasn’t. Bruce’s love and care and his constant struggle at trying to be the best dad for Jason proved to him that not only does good exist in a world he thought it was impossible to, but it was within reach and that he deserved it. And that directly correlates if not caused the feeling of betrayal Jason feels after finding out he didn’t get, what in his mind, was justice and therefore what led to him being redhood.
Bruce’s love for Jason caused Jason’s hate for Bruce.
That’s the tragedy.
