Dickie bothering his dad, Demon Child creeping Father out, Bruce vs Jason, Tim doing just fine, Step’s Watah, Cass the Golden Child, Softboy Ace, Bruce is guilty too

Ngl I constantly think about it what would happen if Tails parents showed up asking for something, like could you imagine how angry sonic would be? They had the audacity to show up and ask for things from their son that they threw out like he was nothing. Sonic dosent even see them as the kids parents because it was sonic who did those things with the kid, sonic took care of him, fed him, put a roof over his head and protected him from anything that tried to hurt him. Sonic did it all not tails parents.
I feel like tails would just want to help them so that they would go and not come back but I calm firmly imagine sonic refusing because they don’t deserve help from tails. They gave that kid so many insecurity’s and then show up at his door like they had done nothing wrong?
Honestly I doubt sonic would even let them get close enough to tails to let them ask in the first place
We probably already all know that famous monologue of Bruce talking about Dick right? The one where he says that it’s Batman that should be more like Nightwing? Yeah I think we all know that Nightwing is what Batman should’ve been (not could’ve, because the same thing that differentiates them is the same thing that makes Batman, well, Batman) but I don’t think we talk enough about how Dick Grayson is what Bruce Wayne could’ve been.
What post Crisis Batman and Nightwing writers misunderstand is that while yes Bruce and Dick are some combo of Father and Son and also big brother and little brother. But they were best friends. The dynamic duo.
When they started drifting apart originally in the early 80s Bruce thought Dick was too idealistic and young and Dick thought Bruce was too cynical and stuck up. This was framed as two friends growing distant feeling the gap widening and wanting to bridge it. The family part always stays. Friendships between family members however have to be maintained.
We were actually making good progress somehow amid the Batcat wedding fiasco with the failed bachelor party and post left at the alter situations. Bruce and Dick were friends again. But then Dick got shot in the head and we have possibly the worst Nightwing run ever done going on right now and I just think they want to strip away the friendship and make it about father son only. But christ Dick Grayson should be 30 years old and Bruce Wayne pushing 50. Adults are friends with their parents sometimes
