I saw this yesterday and couldn’t not say anything
Here are some highlights:
Now, I’m not saying that close platonic relationships don’t exist nor that one’s partner should be held above all others, I’m just saying that this feels very much like one of those “they never married, instead choosing to live out their life with their closest friend until their death in XXXX” kind of narratives
I very much value platonic relationships - especially those that push the boundaries of what is publicly acceptable… that said, I can definitely see why people ship it
(PS did you see that nightwing named his daughter after Bruce? Imo, I think it’s a bit out of character, but I guess times chang?) (pps her name is bryce)

When one of his children is outed by the press as queer (for example: Tim is outed as bi to the public), Bruce Wayne causes a scene.
Firstly, he calls his lawyers to know which articles can be taken down and who can be taken to court. Yes, even positive articles, because he is protective af and his kids' sexualities should NOT be something the public know or talk about. It's too personal, they shouldn't be talking about who his kids are dating and if they are dating. Leave his kids alone. (And yes, he is acting the same way if they make an article about his boys dating a girl. Get out of his kids' life. Write an article about Dick dating the gorgeous supermodel Kory Anders? He is coming for you.)
Secondly, he wears a annoyingly staining lipstick at the next gala he goes to, and he flirts loudly with as many men as possible, and makes out with as many men as possible. Wanna be homophobic? You will be homophobic to him before you touch his kids.

Terry's birthday gift to Tim (Batman Beyond timeline x comic book ish timeline)
fandom telephone is fun! Have a scenario barely extrapolated from canon!
Tl;Dr: Terry Mcginnis VS Tim's infamous 16th birthday message. Mostly born out of a desire for the comic canon Horrible Father Batman to get yelled at.
multiverse happens. Terry Mcginnis from post his series + Return of the Joker gets thrown into close to comic canon timeline.
Since Terry can't go anywhere due to not being born yet and every minute he stays with Bruce and Alfred it gets more awkward, he bunks at Titans Tower with Tim Drake!Robin, Cassie, Bart, and Connor.
Terry introduces himself as "Elderly Batman's emotional support teenager" and "couldn't make the cut for Robin". He cooks, he chills with Young Justice, reminds them how to talk to civilians.
So cut to Tim's birthday. The infamous future message from Alfred that Batman has died due to a close allies betrayal.
Terry is the first to talk as Tim shows the team the message. "Yeah, Alfred kicked the bucket before Bruce did in my time. To be fair, Boss had a whole thirty foot rule about people getting close."
Tim could only stare numbly at the hologram.
"Hey. Yanno what?" Terry taps his fingers on Tim's shoulder. "It's your birthday. Go hang out with your friends. I'll take care of this. I'll start the investigation, make up a nice report and you can take over on Monday."
"That's too long."
"Fine. Two days. 48 hours that you don't have to deal with this. My gift to you."
"if you say so."
Terry rolls up his sleeves and gets to work. He analyzes everything about the video, breaks down the word choices, what tech was used, any recording meta data. Calls up Booster Gold and asks if there's been any "time ripples" or whatever. (The guy is a HUGE fan of Neo Batman. Who knew?) Uses Batman's codes to get access to Justice League files and says it's for a Tim project. "Would you believe that he's growing up and delegating?"
Bruce was expecting Tim. He was not expecting Terry to pop up in the Manor. He just...stares at Terry, looms down and stands in front of him. "Why are you doing this for Tim?"
Terry has seen worse stares, so he's unfazed. "No intention of stealing his work, I'm just getting it started."
Bruce 'hrmm' -ed.
That interaction stuck with Terry. And 36 hours later...Bruce is called up into the Watchtower.
Terry called the Justice League on Bruce's ass. Notably, Nightwing (who usually isn't involved with the League but Terry insisted, but then gave the guy an out after the first debrief.) The Flash, Green Arrow, Superman and Wonder Woman. The first ones specifically because they have sidekicks, and the rest of the Trio for backup.
(Terry does not miss the fact that Clark is hesitant about Connor. And that Connor's impression of his "mentor" is a little skewed. He'll confront him when he's dipped into Tim's kryptonite stash.)
(conversely, Clark can see that Terry is biologically related to Bruce. But research takes time, and it goes slower when trying to dodge both Cadmus and a paranoid Bat.)
So at the 40 hour mark, Terry sends a selfie with the Watchtower "meeting" in the background. (Clark has his arms folded like a disappointed parent. Flash is in Batman's face. Nightwing is blocking the exit.)
An hour later he sends a full report to Tim.
