I have a hc that the "batglare" is often not even an attempt to intimidate, but rather Bruce trying to make eye contact, but lowkey sucking at it cause it's not something natural for him
Like, Clark is talking to Bruce about something that happened at his work the previous day and has to stop to ask if something happened to annoy Bruce because he seems really hatefull, Bruce was just trying to maintain eye contact to show he was paying attention
This guy is the smartest goon ever in the DC Universe!! He actually has self preservation and knows his limits! He knows he can’t beat Batman!!
HE’S JUST STANDING THERE!!! MENACINGLY!!!!
Imagine the first time the batkids did the bat glare. The absolute pride Bruce experienced
Batman: [batglares]
Robin!Dick: [looks a little confused] [frowns] [batglares]
Batman: [nods proudly]
Bruce when he gets home: “Alfred you wouldn’t believe it-“
Bruce: [batglares casually at a toaster]
Jason: “how do you make that face”
Bruce: “what face?”
Jason: [batglares] “this one”
Bruce: [smug look] “just like that, Jay”
Bruce: “no, I’m not taking in another Robin. That’s finale.”
Tim: [batglares] “Batman needs Robin”
Bruce: “…go on”
Damian: [meets Bruce]
Bruce: [batglares] “and you say he’s my son?”
Talia: “just look at him, beloved”
Damian: [batglares]
Bruce: “…oh damn”
Batman: [intimidating a suspect, whips the batglares out]
Cass: [stares intensely before perfecting the batglare in one try]
Suspect: [crying] “please stop, I can’t take it”
Bruce: [batglares at Stephanie]
Stephanie: “ha! I’m immune, bitch” [flips him off] “you guys are gonna have wrinkles that would make a shar pei jealous”
Tim: “can’t be any worse than the wrinkles you have now”
Stephanie: [batglares] “dammit!”
Duke: “I don’t know guys, I don’t think I can do it”
Dick: “come on, it’s a bat thing. You can make the face” [batglares]
Damian: [batglares] “this is the final test”
Duke: “man, I really don’t think I can” [glares] “like it’s not there”
Jason: “I got it. Bruce! Bruce, come here!”
Bruce: [walks in] “what?”
Jason: [looks at duke] “Bruce was the one who ate your leftover pizza”
Bruce: “you threw me under the bus?”
Duke: [batglares]
Bonus
Barbra: [glares at Bruce]
Bruce: “…I’m sorry”
I want to see every member of the Justice League being intimidated, if not low key terrified by Batman. Including the ones he actually considers friends. Better yet, he to some extent considers all of them friends. But he’s a scary dude, alright?
Except none of the kids think so. It probably started with the first Robin absolutely roasting Batman and somehow getting an entire container of chocolate chip cookies out of it.
Now don’t get me wrong, the kids all take Batman seriously, and respect the hell out of him, but they’re not scared of him.
He is Batdad™️.
At least two members of the JL had to make quick and discreet (but mostly quick) exits towards the bathrooms during a JL meeting in the last month due to the Batglare™️.

[Justice League meeting]
Barry: Psst, Nightwing?
Dick: Sup?
Barry: As Batman’s first protège, any advice on how to get on his good side?
Dick: I actually don’t know that he has one, so good luck.
