#felix (host)#dc#dc comics#batfamily#dick grayson#nightwing#bruce wayne#batman#batman and robin#bc its implied#dick grayson analysis#this isn't saying jason isn't a scapegoat btw#bc he absolutely is#but dick is ALSO a scapegoat while simultaneously being the golden child#but he goes full scapegoat during/after Spyral#hes been a scapegoat since Bruce fired him from robin and Dick left#possibly even before then#but the expectations piled on him are very golden child esque#i think when Jason started being accepted (couldn't be the scapegoat anymore)#thats when it got worse for Dick#the role of scapegoat is split between them. sighs
