I love the idea of Tim clocking Bruce was Batman as a small child but the problem is that he is a small child. Tim at a charity event with his parents and they're passing Bruce and Tim just tugs at Janet's hand snf he's like "Dad, that's Batman" and the Drakes are all, "Oh don't be silly, Timmy."

Then a few years later, Bruce is at a gala and Jack and he are bonding over their kids and Jack has to tell him that his Tim, his silly little boy, thinks that Bruce is Batman. And Bruce is chuckling, like "yo that's crazy" until he looks around and... is that? There's Tim pressed up against a window.

8 year old dick who 100% knew Bruce was Batman but pretended not to for shits and gigles:

Dick: look! It's Superman!

Bruce, trying to form a bond with the kid he just adopted: I like Batman better.

Dick, side eyeing bruce: Batman's boring

Bruce, dying inside: rIgHt.

--

Jason, who met Batman before Bruce: fuck you, asshole.

Batman: I literally haven't even done anything yet.

Jason, being a little shit: I know, I've just always wanted to say that.

Bruce, who's already signing mental adoption papers: right.

__

Bruce, at a gala in his Brucie Wayne persona: aw what a cute kid! what's his name!?

Janet: This is my son. Tim.

Slightly autistic Tim who's special interest is 100% Batman rn: °_°

Bruce: um

Janet: give him a minute he's just struggling to express himself

Tim: BATMAN 🦇 🤓

Janet: oh

Janet: I think that means he likes you-

Tim, aggressively pointing: BATMAN. BATMAN. BATMAN-

Janet, dragging Tim away: okay time to go

Bruce: oh my god I love him

Jack, knowing Bruce's history with adoption: back off my kid man

__

Damian who wants to uphold the tradition, some how convinced bruce that Damian thought that bruce was Catwoman.

__

Damian, nodding at a stray cat: you can have this.

Bruce: oh yes son very cute- sorry wdym I can have it?

Damian: you can have it to add to your collection.

Bruce, fearing the worse: what collection???

Damian, straight faced: your cat collection.

Bruce: my cat collection?

Damian: because you are cat woman.

Bruce:

Bruce: I'm cat woman???

The only acceptable trans Tim headcanon would be Tim introducing himself to the batfam as a boy from the get-go with such confidence that no one questions him. Then, his first solo case as Robin is investigating the disappearance of Jack and Janet Drake's "daughter," so he pretends to have a twin sister by forging a bunch of documents and photoshopping family pictures. He then fabricates evidence of her death, committing multiple crimes in the process, and holds a fake funeral at the end. Because if his previous name is dead to him, he's gonna kill it the Tim Drake way

Bruce, at a neighborhood gathering, talking to Jack Drake: Where's Janet?

Jack: Oh, she's sitting down. Carrying a baby all day really tires you out. Speaking of which, you haven't met Timothy yet!

Jack, stealing Tim from Janet to show him to Bruce: Look at this piece of heaven that came down just for us!

Baby Tim: bah •_-

Bruce: ...

Bruce, mentally: Yeah, I need to take him home. I need to raise that thing. He's perfect.

- years later-

Bruce, at Jack’s funeral with Tim at his side: I was playing the long game, idiot.

Tim, through tears: What..?

Bruce, putting an arm around him: Nothing, sweetheart.

i’ll let you, just once.

edit: okay i might be silly. totally forgot that janet does die before tim officially become robin. my brain got it mixed up its been too long. the message still works but aaaaah would have been more impactful if i had remembered!

however. let’s just say this is foreshadowing and mama drake hasn’t died yet but will very, very soon. that’s why she’s centred instead of jack. tim will soon learn a similar pain to bruce

[batfamgalore]

*Tim Drake’s parents after they all just witnessed the Graysons falling to their deaths*

Jack Drake: I think that the important thing is that Tim is fine.

Janet Drake: Fine? He’s been grilling me about where circus performers go when they die.

Jack Drake: Hah. Like they have souls.

A long time ago...

Bruce, the moment he sees little baby Tim with his bowl cut pushed back: Jesus, you got a fucking forehead on ya, dontcha kid? Wow, would you look at that thing?

Bruce: I feel sorry for you, you must get bullied a whole fucking lot

Tim: I’m being bullied right now

Bruce: Ya know where you get that forehead from? Your fucking daddy. You’re the spitting image of ya mom, but ya got your Dad’s big ass forehead

Jack, who is literally standing right beside Tim with the same hairstyle: Hey…

Tim, his forehead being poked by Bruce: … are you drunk?

Bruce, who is incredibly sober: Yes

Tim, in disbelief: …

Bruce: Don’t worry, kid, I’m sure you’re gonna grow into it or whatever

Bruce: And if ya don’t… well, bowl cuts can be your thing. Like… your signature style

Bruce: No one will steal it from you, trust me

Tim: I'm leaving now

Bruce: Sure, oh, but not that way. Jason and Dick are plotting in the corner and if they see ya forehead you'll never live it down

Tim: *big sigh before turning around and climbing under the gala food table*

Jack: ... I don't have a big forehead...

Bruce, stealing his champagne glass: Sure. If that makes you feel better. Hi Janet, it's soooo good to see you! *walks toward her, leaving Jack alone and rubbing his forehead*
