Bruce Wayne at the circus, seeing a shocked eight year old little boy kneel on the ground in a puddle of his parents’ blood, and rushing from the stands to wrap him in his coat and carry him away. Bruce Wayne tucking the boy’s face into his shoulder and whispering as calmly as he can, “Don’t look. You’re going to be okay, I promise you’re going to be okay, just don’t look.”

Detective Gordon, watching as he walks by, being transported to twenty years prior when he was a rookie cop first on the scene for the Wayne murders and finding a shocked eight year old little boy standing in a puddle of his parents’ blood. Remembering how he wrapped his jacket around him and carried him away in a hurry, tucking his face into his shoulder and whispering, “Don’t look. You’re going to be okay, I promise you’re going to be okay, just don’t look.”

Gordon watching as the supposed playboy billionaire Bruce Wayne does everything he can to comfort Dick Grayson, this little boy from the circus he’s never even met before, because he knows exactly the kind of pain he’s going through in this moment.

Gordon realizing that his moment of panic when trying to get little Bruce Wayne away from his parents’ dead bodies had more of an impact than he ever could have imagined.

Commissioner Gordon: So you were with your brother at the time of the murders? What were you doing?

Tim: We were…buying.. alpacas

Commissioner Gordon: You were buying alpacas?

Tim: For our alpaca farm

Commissioner Gordon: You have an alpaca farm?

Tim: Well not yet, that’s why we were buying them

Commissioner Gordon: You know what? I have 5 other suspects to interview. Good luck with your…alpaca farm, Tim

Tim: Thanks Commissioner

*Gordon leaves*

Jason, walking out of the closet, holding the leash of an alpaca: Are we good?

Tim: Yep!

Jason: Good. I killed a lot of people for these alpacas

Bruce being completely oblivious to when the kids start dating and just not getting it because he himself wasn't remotely interesting in dating until he's in his 20s or so and just assumes the kids are the same.

Bruce who wonders why Jim Gordon pulls him aside at a gala and tells Bruce that under no certain terms is Barbara having a sleepover with Dick and Bruce is like, 'they're friends?' and 'are you doubting I'm a good parent?' and just not getting it until Jim underlines his very pressing desire to not be a grandfather.

Clark who walks in on Tim and Kon fooling around and immediately hurries to tell Bruce that they're probably dating and they should let the kids know that they're totally OK with it, only for Bruce to be like, 'nah'. Alfred then has to break it to both of them that Tim and Kon have been dating for like a year.

And it happens over and over again and Bruce just can't comprehend that his kids are ready to date or are even thinking about dating. Bruce who has to have the news broken to him gently as possible and explained in the most basic terms because he can't compute these facts.

Gordon did Bruce a solid 10 years ago, and now he and his flock leave him gifts (criminals) like stray cats. And they like to hang out on his roof; he just wants to be alone and smoke somewhere.

Batman, to Jim Gordon, on a rooftop: You have a daughter.

Gordon: ... Yeah

Batman: [prolonged silence]

Gordon: [quiet sigh]

Batman, lowering his voice: What do you do when she stands?

Gordon: [baffled whisper] What?

Batman: . . . What do you do when she stands there, looking at you as if she has something to say, but doesn't? Or as if she's waiting for you to reply to a question she didn't ask?

Gordon, normal volume: What?

Batman: 🧍‍♂️

Gordon: Um. When she does that, it's because she's messing with me. I usually speak first, ... but ... since you're you, waiting for them to--speak first works, too. ??

Batman: Thank you.

Gordon: You're welcome. [head shake of disbelief]

[A day and a night later]

Dick: 🧍‍♂️

Bruce:

[10 minutes later]

Dick: [head tilt, underwhelmed sigh, walk away]

[that night]

Batman: 🧍‍♂️

Gordon: What?

Batman: It didn't work.

Robin: 😁 What didn't work??

Gordon: Mmm.

Batman: [nod]
