If you believe that Tim is the best detective among the Bat protégés, can you cite a specific detective story that convinced you?

  • Yes, I can cite a specific Tim detective story stronger than any of the others'
  • No, but I know Tim is the best since I can cite canon that tells us he is
  • No, I believe Tim is the best based on fan reports and shared excerpts
  • I can cite canon evidencing another Bat-protégé has equal/better skills
  • I don't believe Tim Drake is proven the best detective among the Bat protégés

currently stuck on the fact that no matter what wally does or eventually becomes barry would continue to say with his entire chest that he did nothing wrong. like barry would be fully conscious of the fact that wally's actions / character are in some way reprehensible or questionable, but it wouldn't matter because that's WALLY and in barry's eyes he's the most loved man in the entire universe. and the delightful truth about this blind acceptance is that, when the positions are reversed, wally wouldn't do the same. barry commits murder and wally testifies against him even when it visibly pains him to do so because his morals just won't allow for anything else. and barry even praises him for it! the eternal devotion is one-sided but it's not even relevant because there won't ever be a moment of wally's life where barry isn't proud of him.

The thing is Bruce does necessarily feel guilt over stephanie brown. Bc he is the guilt machine and he feels guilty whenever anyone in Gotham dies because he could’ve prevented it (in his mind) and he Failed. And it doesn’t rly matter who they were or by what means.

On the level of Stephanie Brown, Bruce can easily recognize the guilt from ‘failing’ to save Stephanie Brown, but he will not allow himself to feel/recognize/express remorse for the actions he took which impacted Stephanie Brown and allowed for her death, prior to her death. He can grieve/guilt forever abt her death but it will have to be a detached, general kind of guilt which has nothing to do with the human person Steph was and no matter how much he agonizes it will never signify that Bruce has taken any responsibility for his role in her death whatsoever. His guilt is for him and about him and it while it torments him, it just has nothing to do with Steph really at all.
