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.
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.
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!
