Thinking about that series on TikTok where canon batfamily characters meet their fanon counterparts and I think all canon characters would have a sort of disdain to borderline hate for their fanon versions EXCEPT BRUCE. Canon Bruce would be seething with jealousy
Canon Bruce: so you’re saying… most of them live with you. In Wayne manor. And it’s not burned down every week.
Fanon Bruce: yup! All of them except Jason, he and I don’t get along very well you see… he’s always angry with me so the weekly family dinners are always tense ://

Canon Bruce, who has found Tim napping in places he didn’t think was humanely possible to sleep in: hnn
