Ahh, more positive reinforcement via hair ruffling. Tim’s going to look like he just crawled out of bed by the time they’re done talking.
It’s too bad that Tim’s only going to apply the reinforcement, without the distinction of needing different rules in the uniform. That works for Dick, because Dick is the real persona and Batman is the persona. For Bruce, it’s the reverse. But Tim’s trying to be someone he’s not in his daily life, too. Obviously, he can ask what would Bruce do all the time. “It’s not. Or it doesn’t have to be - they can your rules now.”
A beat. “But I’m still asking myself what would Bruce do.”
