Bruce being pained the moment he realizes where he is. Him begging it to not be a memory again. Begging Alfred to come pick him up like a child calling for his parent. Alfred "we talked about this", probably because Bruce only goes there during bad mental health episode to hurt himself, and they have talked about better coping mechanisms for Bruce to not do that.

Just, Bruce being written as the traumatized man he is, and being vulnerable about it.

Thinking once again about how Bruce is kind of a completely different character between titles. Like yeah there's differences in runs and writers and all but there is a Noticeable And Consistent difference in Justice League Batman, Titans Batman, Batman/Detective Comics/other adjacent title Batman, etc

For a lot of his life Bruce trained to be in the best fighting condition he possibly could be. After a few years of battling every rogue, being tossed off buildings and through walls... he's started to do a lot more physiotherapy than strength training. Old injuries that he never let heal properly will make themselves known if he doesn't do his stretches before going on patrol. It's just improved his ability to hide how much pain he's in.

we don’t talk enough about the random stashes and caches the Batkids have all over Gotham. not Jason’s safe houses, not the random places Bruce buys up to keep weapons and cars — I mean the duct taped box of petty cash jammed in a random gargoyle’s mouth on the roof of the old abandoned Gotham Opera. the stash of expired protein bars Dick left wrapped up in a plastic bag and buried in a planter outside of GCPD headquarters. random ammo dumps Jason keeps all over town in strategic 1.5 square mile intervals so he’s always got a bail-out option. Bruce’s endless supply of backup comms and trackers that are glued inside the back vent of every single Green Line bus that runs through Gotham that doubles as a moving tracking net for Oracle. Duke’s candy stash that he keeps inside a light pole at the top of the Narrows for bad days. or for kids who run through the candy he usually carries on his belt. Tim’s bug-out medical bags he developed with Bruce and stores all over downtown with AEDs because he had to defib a civilian once and never wanted to be unprepared again. Cass and Damian’s constantly evolving trade of mini animal figurines that they leave on various perches/rooftops the Batfamily use. Steph’s backup gloves she hides in a disconnected electrical panel because hers always rip at the worst time. Cigarettes both Jason and Bruce keep for bribes (different brands) (same stash location) etc. the possibilities in a city as large but also as compact as Gotham are endless, especially when Wayne Manor and even a well-stocked safe house might be too far away at any given time.
