...eldritch!batman only recognises his robins when they are Small
When they grow older he stops being able to recognise them/identify them and ends up accidentally latching onto a new one. Happens more gradually for dick-to-jason but he Knows jason got taken away by force and thus has Problems because of it. And then for Tim-to-Damian it was a chorus of bad luck where Thalia figured out a moment in which Bruce had less control of the Bat and just. Stuck Damian in his path. Now Bruce has a new Robin even though he TRIES to get the focus back to Tim because he knows Tim is still Robin. And/or because Dick views Tim as an equal, when he dons the Batsuit he just. Can't remember Tim-as-Robin, which is dangerous and leads to Dami-Robin-adoption by the Bat.
If u are too big....you're not ALLOWED to be bigger than batdad. Robin is BABY.
(but also means that eldritch!batdad very much sees them as the Same Person which brings its own host of issues/problems)
....for more crack purposes you can, of course, also make the assumption (and Jason often makes the joke) that technically Bruce is a magical girl because his suit has vague sentience. He made a deal with an eldritch being and now he has a transformation sequence. He's totally a magical girl.
It IS true that being on here gives you a tumblr accent. This morning my mother asked me something and i replied "i don't know i've never heard these words in that order" and she nearly choked laughing. It wasn't even that funny
