Dick is Bruce's son. Jason is Bruce's son. Damian is Bruce's son. Cass is Bruce's daughter. Tim was never his son, and never will be. And yet outside of Bruce and Tim himself everyone else sees Tim as his son. It's absurd since it's clearly the other way around.
Or, Tim knows that Bruce needs someone to take care of him. He also knows that Bruce reacts well to being parented, so he takes that role.

Summary
Tim leans forward, blowing on his fingers. Despite his gloves, the night is cold enough that his fingers are freezing. Gordon and Bruce have been talking for almost an hour, and Bruce told Tim to just sit and wait. So, he’s been sitting on the edge of a building, freezing his fingers off while they talk about a million different cases that they’ve been working on throughout the week.
If I’d known that I wasn’t going to be doing anything, I would have brought a few of my case files with me.
“Robin, do you want to go handle a small robbery downtown?” Bruce asks.
Tim jumps up, nodding. Bruce gives him an address.
“You’ll be handling it by yourself. Make sure you’re quick and careful.”

Summary
Gotham’s shadows have never been darker. Bruce Wayne, the city’s enigmatic playboy, has vanished, captured by unseen forces and subjected to brutal torment. As he nears his breaking point, an unexpected saviour appears—the Joker. But Gotham's Clown Prince has no intention of helping Bruce out of kindness; he’s driven by his own sinister plans.
Bound into a precarious alliance with his most unpredictable adversary, Bruce must navigate Gotham’s perilous underworld while contending with the Joker’s chaotic whims. Together, they strive to unravel the web woven by a hidden mastermind who threatens to bring the city to its knees.
As they delve into a shadowy conspiracy, Bruce and the Joker push each other to their limits, each testing the other's resolve. Faced with a villain unlike any Bruce has encountered before, they discover more about themselves—and each other—than they ever expected. With Gotham’s fate hanging in the balance, Bruce must confront a harsh truth: can he ever truly trust the Joker, or will he be betrayed by the only partner standing between him and total destruction?Series

Summary
Mana was two years old when she had witnessed her first death, a row of inmates gunned down as an exposure test. When she turned three, she would learn how to hold those same guns, and by four, she would learn to use them for the same purposes. The facility taught her and her friends that it was their duty, that they would be the next to fight the crimes of the world.
What they didn't count on was Mana remembering how those who failed the test had been eliminated along with the inmates, and that she was more than willing to bring them all down. Now all she needed was to get help from the outside world, hopefully convincing them to spare her friends, and ending the fight before it could begin.
OR Mana, a walking perception filter a la "Where's Waldo?" decides to seek justice, one way or another. And if she meets certain heroes, villains, and everyone in between that are willing to take her in, it was only a small price to pay.
OR Jason Todd becomes a dad without meaning to, but will not back down.

Abruptly Dick stands up and begins striking his knife against his glass (earning a disapproving look from Alfred) and the table quietens. Jason glances at Cass and observes that she is just as curious as he is.
“Hi everyone! Welcome to the Brunch so glad everyone could make it and uh, I have an announcement to make, these past couple of years have been hard on everyone... But things are starting to get on the up and up so... we're going to Disneyworld”
Jason snorted and several heads turned toward him.
Silence.

Summary
“Did you steal something from him?” Peter asked Neal. That was the only explanation he could think of for Nightwing to be here.
“Only my sanity.”
“Hey, that’s my line!” said Neal.
“Who’s the one that got locked into a supermax prison on the one day I was out of town? Not me.” Nightwing replied.
“Oh, so we’re not counting the time you got kidnapped by the deadliest mercenary in the world?”
Nightwing waved a hand. “For like, a week. Barely a kidnapping at all.”
“Twenty-three days, Nightwing. I was out of my mind with worry for over three weeks.”
Peter held up a hand. “I’m missing something.”OR
Peter doesn’t know how to feel about Neal apparently becoming the accidental father of an underage vigilante, but he’ll probably figure it out by the time they arrest whoever framed Nightwing for stealing a million-dollar painting.
