Barbara was insensitive, but I think Bruce over reacted. Would it honestly be too difficult to have a Batman (Who isn't Dick Grayson) who instead of walking out after Babs apologises said something like "It's okay. My life hasn't been like most."?
It'd be nice to see Bruce develop some empathy towards his friends.

From:

I agree... or show him in the next panel in barbara's bathroom curled up in the fetal position going "Mommy daddy, please wake up..."

okay... that was cruel even for me...

Or back at the manor dressed in his mom's old clothing and putting on makeup.

"Oh Brucie! Thank you for saving me! You're the best son ever!"

*reaches into a drawer filled with wadded up pearl necklaces*

"For me?!"

From:

down the hall walks Tim, Dick, Jason, and Damian squabbling like the Robin's they are.

Tim: Dammit Damian!
Damian: What! He's still alive!
Jason: He was a drug dealer, selling to Minors, wouldn't have been a loss.
Dick: Okay guys cut it out, he's alive that's all that matters!
Tim: I'm still telling Bruce.
Damian: Fine tell him your insufferable...
*down the hallway comes Barbara who is being pushed in her wheel chair by Stephanie and Cass*

Stephanie: Out of the way bird boys!
Barbara: Faster Dammit Faster!
*cassandra clears the way, knocking the Robins out of the way*
Stephanie: Runawayasfastasyoucanyoudon'twanttoseethat!

*Dick sticks his head in the room and witnesses Bruce doing his best impression of Norman Bates, while dancing to no music what so ever..*

Dick: Sigh
Jason: He's doing it again isn't he?
Tim: What do... oh no...
Damian: What?! What! I Command You Cretins Tell me what's going on!

*Jason and Tim look at each other, then at Dick who shakes his head, then back at eachother with evil grins, then to Damian whom them both kick into the Room with Bruce/Martha before locking the door on them*

*The older three Robin's listen from the outside*

Martha/Bruce: Oh Brucie! is this one of your little friends?
Damian: Fa-father?
Bruce/Martha: Mother, can he play with us?
Martha/Bruce: Oh yes Brucie, Yes he can!

From:

I want you to know that, tonight, I hate you soooooo much.

From:

you love me admit it... :D

you want to know what the music was in my head that Brucie/Martha was hearing?

You win. Nothing specific, mind you, you just...really, really win.

From:

i have to admit... i am particularly proud of this one it all just came to me :D

once again i find myself wishing i could draw this correctly (i can't do comeidic art...:(

From:

o_O I can't decide if I love you or hate you for putting that mental image in my head. I think you win *something*, though, regardless. What, I'm not sure. But something. >_<

From:

heh i think i am going to post this whole scene with pic on tumblr, see if i can get someone to draw it :D

and just say you love me, it makes things easier :D

also think of Bruce/Martha dancing to this in their heads :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyUBdLm3s9U

From:

>_< I think I'm going to go with hate. I like that song, and now I am going to associate it with that scene forever. I mean that association thing literally, by the way. I don't mind that I permanently associate everything by Billy Idol with Spike from Buffy, or every song of the big band genre with Steve Rogers. Or Tron lines with the Kingdom Hearts games, and thereby Sora/Riku/Kairi OT3. But I *don't*, actually, want to associate the music from Anastasia with Bruce having a psychological break from reality. .....Despite that, I would totally draw this scene if I was better at drawing men, or just better at drawing in general. (I mean, I could draw Steph and Babs and Cass just fine, although Babs' chair might need some references. Tim is girly enough to BS my way through pretty easy, and I could probably struggle my way through Dick and Jay with some reference pictures. But I don't think I could do Bruce himself justice *at all*, and I've never been good at drawing individuals as young as Damian, they just turn out looking like tiny adults, which ends up looking kind of Uncanny Valley at times. Plus I'm rubbish at foreshortening and related aspects of perspective when pertaining to posing humans in even remotely complicated ways - I seriously need to get one of those little posable wooden dollies they have at Michael's - and my backgrounds aren't much better. In short, if you desperately want to see this drawn, can't find anyone willing who has any skill at all, and don't mind that it looks like it was drawn by someone who hasn't taken a drawing class since she was fifteen, please feel free to contact the lady whose only formal drawing class actually was when she was fifteen and whose teacher despaired of her apparently horrifying tendency to use mechanical pencils for linework unless required to use proper sketching materials, aka me. Because dammit, my mind is already laying out the storyboard without my consent when I should be finishing re-reading the material for a small online review quiz I need to take sometime in the next twenty-five hours. >_< Haaaaate.)

From:

Wow. Lol seriously very sorry, but that song poped into my head as I was thinking that. And I haven't seen that movie in' AAAGES! I have images in my head too. Lol. If you want to do it be my guest. Id try it my self but i'm rubbish at comedic images. Or if you know someone. Either way. Now I kinda really wanna see this on paper.

Out of curiosity.... Billy Idol?

From:

Gah! It's okay, really, but I'm going to need to make sure I don't watch that movie for the next year or so. I'll just watch Mulan instead if I get the urge to see Anastasia again before the association fades enough to not make me think of Batman instead.

One of my friends from undergrad can draw and likes Batman, but my grad school is in the Midwest and hers is on the East Coast, so I haven't seen her in person in forever and would feel majorly awkward suggesting drawing this scene. Plus, it might mentally scar her for life. It would feel even more awkward to suggest it to any artists I've spoken with online, considering that most conversations with them basically amount to me flailing over their far superior artwork and its hilarity or adorableness or whatever, and them thanking me. And I'm rubbish at comedic images too, I'm just tempted to try anyways. I mean, I have that assignment I have to finish tomorrow, and I am working this weekend... but only five hours each Saturday and Sunday... Hm. *evil grin* If it turns out, I'll stick it on DeviantArt, send you a link, and put a link in the summary whatnot to your written out scene here. If it doesn't turn out... it doesn't turn out. Might be a while, even if it does turn out, though. I'm notoriously easily distracted when it comes to things like this.

Yes, Billy Idol. Find a picture of Billy Idol. Then find a picture of Spike. Look at them side by side. Then read this quote from the Buffy episode "Sleeper":
Bouncer: Hey, sweetheart. If you wanna go in, go ahead.
Buffy: Oh, uh, actually, I need some help. I'm looking for this guy. Bleach-blonde hair, leather jacket, British accent? Kind of sallow, but in a hot way?
Bouncer: Yeah, yeah, I know the guy. Billy Idol wannabe?
Buffy: Actually, Billy Idol stole his look from—never mind. Has he been here?
Also, James Marsters, Spike's actor, sings. Quite well. His singing voice is really very sexy, imho. >/////< Actually, for that matter, listen to a Billy Idol song, and then a James Marsters song. Depending on what songs of each you pick, you might hear some slight degree of similarity - for example, Idol's "Dancing with Myself" vs. Marsters' "Bad".

From:

Awww I love Mulan! Reflection is My Jam :) ok im patient ill post it in tumblr anyway just cuz I think it's funny :)

And I want to poison other minds :)

*runs over to see mulan*

I will not cry when I hear reflection, I will not cry when I hear reflection I will not cry when I hear reflection...

From:

Please do try to find a better artist than me. Also, I agree you should totally amuse as many other people on tumblr with the scene as you can, even if none of them draw.

You like Mulan, too? Yay! And... Actually, I took some very basic voice lessons during undergrad as elective classes, just because I could. We'd perform a song with a pianist accompanying once or twice during the term as our exams. Guess what I picked to perform as one of my pieces (if I recall correctly, the final exam performance of the second and last of the classes I took)? Yep. Utterly gorgeous song, don't know that I really did it justice, but I gave it my all. (And, regardless, it was certainly an improvement over the one performance I did the first term, when I came close enough to fainting that a friend of mine had actually stood up to catch me. God, that was embarrassing. But I still finished my performance, which is something, right? I'm sure it gave my poor accompanist quite a fright, though. >_<)

From:

LOL i will. and yeah i don;t mind getting different interpretations of this scene :D

Mulan forever!!!!

no those are not tears...

From:

Multiple versions could be interesting...

Yay Mulan! And of course those aren't tears... you, erm... got dust in your eyes?

"It'd be nice to see Bruce develop some empathy towards his friends."

I take it you haven't been reading Morrison's run, then?

From:

18lemons

I have, Batman and Robin 1 was actually the first comic I purchased. I've read all of Morrison's run since. I really like Morrison's Bruce, he's a lot more human than most. I just want this to be carried into everybody's version of Bruce, not just Morrison's.

kinder gentler yet more kick ass :D

That was sort of the norm up until DKR came along....

From:

proteus_lives

Bruce cannot bear goodbyes.

From:

18lemons

If Death is ever feeling brave enough to take Alfred Pennyworth from the world, I can imagine Bruce's goodbye to Alfred being incredibly emotional.

From:

hell HIS goodbye when HE died STILL makes me cry.... I admit it... the moment he said "Dad" i LOST it

From:

q99

For some reason, even though he's old, I can't see them ever killed off Alfred. There's just no-one who can take his place.

From:

18lemons

Have we had confirmation that Alfred is in the DCnU yet? Martha Kent is dead, what's to say that Alfred hasn't died too?

From:

icon_uk

Basically, there will be few changes to Batman or Bat-history. The chronology of Robins and Batgirls is more open to tweaking, but it's consistent enough for Batman Inc to continue, so I can't see any reason why Alfred wouldn't be around.

From:

Are we entirely certain that Alfred isn't, like, immortal or something? I mean, seriously. He's not actually seen in Batman Beyond (so obviously, he can't be in Gotham then, I don't think), but I don't remember anyone ever saying that he'd died, even though by that point Bruce is probably in his seventies or eighties. Plus, while his appearance varies from medium to medium, I don't recall him ever looking older or younger throughout pretty much anything in a way that can't be attributed to different artists. (How old is Alfred supposed to be, anyways? Because I don't think he was particularly young when he started raising Bruce, and he still seems pretty spry for an older gentleman.)

OMG. Maybe Alfred is a vampire. Or possibly an aspect of one of the Endless or something. O_O But realistically speaking, I don't know if it's possible for that much awesome-ness and badass-ness to be concentrated into one single mere mortal. I mean, he raised the Goddam Batman all by himself from age eight onward. He's the person who single-handedly keeps the entire Batclan functioning and somewhat capable of coexisting with the general public. Think about it.

From:

teamrodent

Or a Time Lord.

Maybe Bruce needs more "hello"s. :|

From:

The Time Lord idea is disturbingly plausible. I think I may still be leaning towards vampire, though. Because it amuses me to think that a man who dresses up like a giant bat was raised by a vampire... who either can't turn into a bat himself, or considers it too "undignified" to actually do. *gigglesnort* Also, teddybears in your icon, do want! :D

From:

18lemons

The Time Lord thing is disturbingly plausible, Alfred once said that who knew a fantastic Doctor Who...
Sadly, I don't have that issue or a scan of it to upload here.

From:

o_O And I seem to recall a Batman and Robin cover that involved the Doctor in the Batmobile and Batman and Robin in the Tardis, which despite the fact that obviously canonical crossovers don't really happen much anymore and that they don't necessarily indicate that two stories are intended to actually occur in the same universe without inter-dimensional travel, does nevertheless say something.

From:

an_idol_mind

The Pennyworths are actually cousins of the MacLeods. Alfred and his kin are princes of the universe, biotch.

From:

Pffffthahahaha. Works for me.

From:

gehayi

Given how badass Alfred Pennyworth is supposed to be in All-Star Batman and Robin, this is more than plausible.

From:

silicondream

Well, it's not like he can just walk away. He's seen what happened to Dick; he's not about to let the Bat-Ass become a legend too.

From:

Better the Bat-Ass than the Bat who IS an ass.

hey now! Bruce has gotten far more cuddlier :D

"God, Bruce. Sure your parents were both violently murdered in front of you when you were a child, but that was in the past, get over it already. Jeez."

It bemuses me how many people in this post have this opinion.

From:

arysteia

Glad I'm not alone after all.

From:

espanolbot

Makes me wonder if they tell Barbara to just get over it for getting shot in the spine. Or tell Comissioner Gordon to just get over the Joker shooting his wife in the face. Or that medical examiner for the GCPD whose husband was frozen and shattered by Mr Freeze and then had her hand shot off by the Joker.

Suck it up losers! This town is for the tough!

Seriously though, complain when he has no feelings, complain when he does show feelings. Cake and eat it.

It's almost as if his parent's death was a primary motivation for why he helps people or something!

From:

arysteia

That selfish bastard. Someone more mature would've just enjoyed the sweet life as a megabillionaire.

From:

espanolbot

Yeah, a megabillionaire managing a business and giving generous donations to charity would make a much more interesting comic than a superhero solving crimes and junk!

Cool story bro.

From:

If he really walked about because of what she said, that kind of makes batman look I dont want to say childish...but he could have handled it better. I guess because I have never really been the type to get offended when people accidentally say more then they mean, or say something that could be offensive.

From:

It just always lookks silly when people waste energy to get flared up.

From:

18lemons

Yeah, one of my flatmates learned this last year. His girlfriend was teasing him at the pub and threatening to pour her drink over his head, she did accidentally spill some on his head and he grabbed his coat and left the pub. As soon as he got outside, he realised how dramatic he had been, but had to go home because he would have made a fool of himself if he walked back in after storming out.

From:

I think he should have came in and played it off like he was jokeing. The thing is people forget once you lose composure, whatever point you try to make falls to the wayside.

From:

18lemons

He could have handled it better, but I doubt he would have been able to pull that off. We all had a laugh about it later on though. You're absolutely right about the composure thing though.

From:

icon_uk

Batman frequently IS childish though... as even the Joker notes in "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker"

"Behind all the sturm and batarang, you're just a little boy in a playsuit, crying for mommy and daddy! It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic. [pause] Oh, what the heck, I'll laugh anyway!"

From:

Oh I know he is stuck in childhood, but Batman is still well...you know a guy or should I say a tough spirit. Even some children do not run out of a room chocking back tears, because the big mean red headed lady hurt their tender sensibilities.

Superman never cried, when batman wash gunning for his self esteem master psychologist my foot.

From:

But Superman did cry when he blew him off over the phone.

From:

Your assuming Batman is mature.

From:

shobogan

Hey, Bruce, you know who else lost their birth parents at a young age? Barbara. And she doesn't bring it up every time someone mentions other people have parents to make them feel guilty.

Honestly, I really didn't like how Horrocks wrote Bruce, much of the time. Or Barbara, for that matter.

I really don't think this is how she'd have reacted. I think she'd have said "Fine, you hated Alfred. Can we focus on Cassandra now?"

From:

aeka

"Hey, Bruce, you know who else lost their birth parents at a young age? Barbara. And she doesn't bring it up every time someone mentions other people have parents to make them feel guilty. "

This. So. Hard.

And for someone who lost both her parents at a young age, became Batgirl, AND was paralysed by one of Batman's worst foes, she turned very well adjusted and remained optimistic. Seriously, Bruce needs to grow up.

From:

jlbarnett

actually at that point in time Bruce was probably traveling the world away from Alfred on his training.

If there's one thing about human nature I think Batman would not understand it's family drama between parent and child.

From:

airawyn

Also, Bruce might know about teens hating their parents because he's a parent. He and Dick definitely went through some rough times when Dick was about that age.
