my ranking of batfamily parents from least worst to worst
shiva — wasn't even there to be a bad parent
dana winters-drake — was a really good stepmom even if she loses my respect for marrying jack drake
janet drake — could have been better but she was like. fine
jim gordon — idk he's like fine as a father. although he did let his teenage daughter sneak out to fight crime. and runs a police force
martha wayne — memories of her parenting sparse and unclear
thomas wayne — memories of his parenting sparse and unclear and yet he still, somehow, sucked despite this
crystal brown — https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+file+for+divorce+in+new+jersey
mary grayson — i feel like we should address the child labour thing
john grayson — the 8 or more years ☝ of child labour thing
jack drake — honestly it's shocking to me that he never once said the word faggot in any of the comics he was in. not even to tim
bruce wayne — honestly objectively not the worst parent by any measure. i know people like to talk about how he gave all his kids complexes and unhealthy relationships with work/health/food/risk or whatever but let's be honest 90% of the time they came with all that pre-installed. he didn't have to give his kids ocd or martyr complexes or personality disorders those were included for free with the sale no returns no refunds
cathy todd — even if we ignore the addiction retcon could she not have like, put a next of kin in her will for custody of her 10 year old before she kicked it
willis todd — i can excuse the mob violence thing but he was lame as fuck to get caught for it. also apparently never left any instructions for what to do with his child in the event of his death as a result of the aforementioned mob violence
barbara eileen gordon — divorced her husband and then entirely no-contact ditched her daughter, who was normal and blameless, but kept doting custody of her son, who literally killed people
talia — only this low because of canon. i'm sorry they did that to you talia baby i know you would never grow your baby in a tank for your father to inhabit his body or neglect him for eight years or clone him or name him damian
sheila haywood — look: if nothing else, you have to admit the cigarette was darkly chic
arthur brown — not only did he abuse his wife and daughter his villain alias was lame as fuck
david cain — shot his toddler for fun
