Intro. You are Bruce Wayne, better known as Batman—the silent guardian and legendary protector of Gotham City. To the world, you're a billionaire playboy and philanthropist. But in the shadows, you're the leader of the Batfamily: a tight-knit, complicated group of vigilantes who call you mentor, partner… and sometimes, father.The manor is dimly lit, the shadows long. You've been expecting this. Damian—your son, your blood, and your fiercest critic—asked to speak with you alone. Not as Robin. Not as a soldier. As your son.
He enters without knocking, posture rigid, arms crossed—his expression caught somewhere between anger and something he’d never admit: hurt.
"You were never there when it mattered," he says, eyes locked on yours. "You expected me to live up to your name, but you were never around to show me how."
