The Robins from the main universe were shocked by the return of the Waynes, but they were not that shocked, because their shock quota had been exhausted during this period, and people tend to enter after a series of intense emotions. In a state of numbness, there is no strong emotional ups and downs for everything that appears in front of them. The Robins are in this state now.
Nightwing is studying the artifacts he obtained from Mount Olympus and practicing combining them with his usual combat methods. Red Hood is still recalling what he saw and heard along the way following Schiller. He has been addicted to psychology these days. Studying books, Red Robin was recuperating from his injuries, and was pushed to the yard by Alfred on time every day to bask in the sun.
Martha felt very sympathetic to the Robins' experiences, so she played the role of a female elder of a large family as much as possible, taking care of the juniors' food, clothing, housing, and transportation, greeting them, and gently solving their confusions.
In fact, Thomas and Martha also have differences in the education of their children, and because of the solidification of their personalities caused by the mad torture over so many years, the extent of this difference can basically be described as: Fortunately, Bruce died early.
Thomas is a strict father in the traditional sense. His educational method is to show his majesty and then drive the children to learn the knowledge and skills necessary for survival, while Martha is a loving mother in the traditional sense. By taking care of the children, they let them Feeling cared for and completing their personality.
Logically speaking, such a family structure is already perfect, but it is inevitable that Thomas will feel that Martha is too doting on the children, and Martha will feel that Thomas puts too much pressure on them. This is the case for almost all strict fathers and loving mothers. Problems families face.
And once they have a confrontation in this area, the children will naturally divide into two groups because of their different attitudes towards education, as is the case with the Robins.
Both Nightwing and Red Hood prefer Martha. They enjoy tender care and meticulous care, but they are also insensitive to Thomas's aggressive and oppressive education methods.
Both Elsa and Damian have a better relationship with Thomas. Elsa will like Thomas more, purely because younger children are more accustomed to relying on authority. They think it is very important to have someone telling them how to do things all the time. Something about feeling safe.
Needless to say, Damian is purely the King of Rolls and feels that he is the chosen heir. In the past, because he was the youngest in the Bat Family, everyone regarded him as a child, but this time Finally able to show off his talents, of course he would like to follow Thomas and become familiar with the various affairs of Wayne Group.
Red Robin is more interested in Bruce. He finds that Batman in this universe has endless secrets that can be explored, so even if his injury is not healed, he sticks to Bruce every day and does research with him.
The smaller Robins can be roughly divided into: "I'm almost exhausted from taking ballet classes and cultural classes, so you can't even think about running away"; "Although you and I are the same person, I just can't." The rebellious type who "makes the same choice as you", the super fan group type who says "my idol is Batman, so if we join forces we are invincible", and Harley, the watcher who "fights and kills people in front of my house" Busy is not too big.
Logically speaking, it would not be a problem for more than a dozen people to live in the largest manor in Gotham, and there would be no possibility of overcrowding. However, these dozen sets of mutually nested relationships allowed the Wayne family to live in the manor in a kind of way. The feeling of Wuyang Wuyang.
Although many people would call Batman and his friends the "Bat Family", in fact the Bat Family does not meet the definition of a family because the Bat Family's hierarchy is not clear enough.
The structure of the Bat-family can be roughly described as one super-powerful person. Batman is a super leader. His power and prestige are greater than everyone else, while the power of all remaining members is equalized. Simply put, it is the so-called "Family Love".
Even if Nightwing and Red Hood came earlier than Damian and are older, they do not have full educational rights when Damian loses his temper or gets into trouble, because they are still brothers with the same level and no hierarchy. divided.
What unites this family is love rather than interests, so what will naturally be derived is class and power.
The Bat Family is like a utopia. There is a truly omniscient and omnipotent patriarch who can convince everyone. Everyone else is united and friendly without oppressing each other, just uniting for the beliefs in their hearts.
But the biggest problem is that the Bat Family lacks social education for teenagers and children. The groups that unite together in this way are a very small minority in society, and naturally they cannot provide their members with any normal human society. social experience.
Everywhere human beings exist, there are classes, either overt or covert. This is an essential social stage in the evolution of intelligent races. How to accept the influence of others and how to influence others is a must for every teenager before entering society. One of the courses is called "Socialization Education".
Once this kind of education is missing, it will lead to social skill defects such as being overly influenced by others and being unable to influence others, which will lead to a dangerous state of being controlled by others or closing oneself off.
Forcibly leveling all classes in a group is not a good thing. It does not fundamentally eliminate classes, but avoids socialization and is an evasive attitude.
For example, there is no power difference between Nightwing, the oldest and most mature person in the Bat-family, and the most trusted by Batman, and Damian, who is young and late to join the group. This will lead to Damian getting into trouble with Nightwing's management. If he doesn't stop, even if Nightwing goes to clean up his mess, he won't learn his lesson and will dare to do it next time.
Over time, the relationship between the two will not become more harmonious because of this, because the constant tolerance and regression of one party in a relationship is actually at the expense of emotional consumption and is not healthy.
Learning to obey dignified individuals in the group is as important as learning to establish dignity in the group. This is the social gene of selecting the best of the best in social organisms that ensures the normal operation of the group.
In the process of doing these two things, humans learn to understand the emotions of others, and also show their social cues to others by releasing emotions, thereby obtaining emotional feedback from others and providing emotional feedback to others. This is part of human survival. Essential social needs.
And a large family with multiple classes is the perfect place for social education. If the Bat Family in the main universe is compared to a high school where only the teachers are dignified, then Wayne Manor at this moment is more like a university.
The Waynes are undoubtedly the highest-ranking beings in this big family because they are the oldest and the oldest. They are also responsible for the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation expenses, and have the greatest power to distribute wealth and resources.
Next is Bruce and Alfred, because Bruce has gained the trust of everyone with his own ability, while Alfred is given the responsibility of managing and taking care of the family by the patriarch.
There is more than one group of children, and they can be roughly divided into older children and younger children, outsiders and aboriginals, the father group and the mother group. They can even be subdivided into the study group and the sports group, the daytime activity group and the night activity group. .
This constitutes an extremely complex interpersonal relationship, making the entire Wayne Manor a complex society similar to real society. Everyone needs to learn to find their own position in this society.
Positioning oneself through the evaluation of oneself by people with different positions, and then evaluating others based on one's own positioning is actually a very valuable skill, because looking at other people's evaluations fairly and objectively requires a stable personality, self-consistent logic and Controlled emotions.
And when such a large family gets together, no matter what they do, they are undergoing countless social reinforcement training.
To give the simplest example, when everyone in Wayne Manor gathered together for a meal for the first time, it was a big test for the Robins.
Thomas and Martha had received aristocratic education and were also proficient in some educational skills, so when they walked to the table, they deliberately slowed down to observe how the children chose their seats.
Without thinking, Bruce sat in the eldest son's seat on the right, and continued to calculate the data needed for research in his mind. But in this case, Nightwing, who was originally sitting in the eldest son's seat, would have no place to sit.
Nightwing seemed a little at a loss because he didn't know who was sitting in the seat opposite Bruce. If he sat there, wouldn't Martha have room to sit?
Martha is kind to everyone. If he takes her position and makes her feel embarrassed, wouldn't it be repaying kindness with hatred? If he makes such a mistake, will it cause public outrage?
Nightwing slowed down his pace and became a little cautious, and Red Hood, who looked rough but was actually very observant, also saw the current problem. If Nightwing was not sure about his seat, then he had no way of knowing for sure, because If he confirms it first, it is equivalent to confirming it for Yeyi. What if the confirmation is wrong?
Red Robin coughed slightly, and Nightwing and Red Hood immediately looked at him with pleading eyes, because they knew that Tim had received a noble education, and he must know what to do.
At this time, Red Robin turned to look at Alfred next to him. Alfred pushed his wheelchair to the seat on the same side as Bruce, but one position away. He moved the chair away, and then moved the wheelchair. Pushed over.
Nightwing and Red Hood breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, because this meant that they made the right choice not to act rashly, and the position opposite Bruce was indeed reserved for Martha.
So Nightwing sat down next to Bruce, and Red Hood sat across from him.
Next it was the younger generation's turn to choose seats, and another question arose. They were not in the same group as the outsiders, so should Dick sit across from Red Robin, or should he sit in a different row, keeping Dick and Jay? Mori's opponent's formation?
After hesitating for a moment, Dick chose to sit across from Red Robin. This was actually the social signal he released, representing friendliness and acceptance.
When the three trumpet Robins also took their seats, Harley, who came out later, sat opposite Tim. Normally, the remaining Damian and Elsa should sit opposite each other, but Damian obviously Very unhappy with sitting so far away.
After a period of etiquette training, Damian also knew that the empty seat opposite Bruce belonged to Martha, so he said to Nightwing as he had done many times in the Bat Family: "Let's change positions, Dick. Go hug Aisha, didn’t you say you like her very much?”
Nightwing also instinctively stood up and wanted to make room for Damian. In his opinion, this was nothing at all. Isn't it the same wherever you sit to eat? But Thomas cleared his throat heavily, and Bruce also raised his eyes and glanced at Nightwing.
But in the end, Yeyi thought there was something wrong with him and stood there frozen, neither sitting nor sitting, looking very embarrassed.
"Damian, go sit in the back." Thomas raised his chin and motioned for Damian to sit opposite Aisha.
As soon as Damian opened his mouth to say something, Red Hood said to him: "Go quickly, who can blame you for getting up late? If you want to sit in the front, get up early next time."
Unexpectedly, Thomas, Martha and Bruce frowned as soon as these words came out.
