27yro Bruce travels to the future, meets Nightwing and immediately goes. Oh no. Dicks dead and this is his father. I can’t believe I could live in a world without Dick Grayson I’m gonna kms
And Dick doesn’t explain it bc he’s experiencing the horrors of realizing HOW much like John Grayson he looks like (he has his mamas eyes tho too bad Bruce can’t see em bc Nightwing mask)
Anyway once other people (Tim, Jason, Damian, Steph, himself, Cass etc) explain that Nightwing is in fact not John Grayson
Bruce goes “okay so where is Dick”
And everyone lowkey expected the worlds greatest detective to clock this
Man who looks like his sons dad is probably his son grown up seeing as we are in the future
And like Someone caves and points at Nightwing and Bruce takes one look and goes
“No”
And Dick is now experiencing the horrors squared and about go to on an absolutely biblical rage rant
“No he’s too big”
“…what”
“My boy is small that man there is too big”
5’11 with insoles Dick Grayson who has never managed to bulk up ever bc he’s a whore for cardio (acrobatics)
“Bruce we are in the future”
“Yes yes I am aware but Dick is small”
Other Bruce (45yro): Dick take off your mask
Anyway
27yo Bruce not like clocking that his son will one day grow older and get bigger and like move out and get a job and married and have a family outside of himself and work outside of the dynamic duo
27yro Bruce who like knows how aging works objectively but went “pshhh yeah but not MY BOY”
Anyway yeah
