I’ve always wanted to know, what’s your analysis/perspective on why Bruce emptied out Jason’s room after his death?

i think it was a (selfish) self-inflicted punishment. i also think it was only one side of the punishment. the other side comes in the form of how batman didn't empty out robin's room, metaphorically speaking.

the first thing to note is that in the wake of jason's death, bruce notoriously loses his mind. he was violently suicidal, lashed out more and fixated on cases with no reprieve. in a way, he shuts down as bruce wayne and primarily functions as batman. as a result, he is forced to grieve in the only way that is possible — as batman.

he hangs up robin's uniform as a memorial, as a reminder and as a punishment (or he allows alfred to do so, whichever canon you prefer). he carries the last photo of robin in his utility belt. if anyone asks about robin, batman must tell them that there is no longer a robin, and there never will be another.

bruce wayne does the opposite. he erases any and all traces of jason todd from his life. he removes all his photos, clears out his room and refuses to talk to anyone about the boy. jason had died as robin, and he was only robin because of batman. bruce wayne does not deserve to grieve what he did not prevent. it's far too late.

batman's punishment is that he can never forget. bruce wayne's punishment is that he does not have the right to remember.

this isn't to say that bruce&batman or jason&robin are different in any way that is significant to their relationship, but rather to show how bruce had compartmentalised his life following jason's death. this event fundamentally changes him. as batman, he can never allow this to happen again and he will be constantly reminded of his failure. as bruce wayne, he regresses his personhood, he loses what made him whole and he can not fill the gap. as a whole, this ensures no part of his skin isn't burning with guilt.

it is two sides of the same blade and neither is merciful.
