#bruce is a VERY imperfect substitute for God the Father but CONSIDER the older brother — the heir

I was telling my sister about Titans, and she was like, “the whole Bruce/Dick/Jason storyline is like the prodigal son story, with the older and younger brothers' positions switched,” and I was like ohhhh???
#bruce is a VERY imperfect substitute for God the Father but CONSIDER the older brother — the heir
#takes his inheritance (his supersuit and tech and weapons and porche)
#and leaves telling his dad not to contact him
#and the younger son receives everything that once belonged to his older brother
#knowing how fortunate he is while also having to constantly hear ‘your brother did it this way’ ‘your brother was better at this’
#all the whole looking up to his absent brother as his hero
#he goes to meet his older brother while he is away and is met with a barrage of ‘our father doesn’t care about you or me’
#‘our father will destroy you to accomplish his own ends’
#‘no you don’t really know him — *I* know him’
#‘being the eldest son isn’t an honour at all its a curse’
#and THEN a little while later that same older brother returns and is welcomed home with open arms
#their father gives EVERYTHING back to his oldest
#ALL the privileges and love and honour and money and even a new supersuit
#all is forgiven and given back in full — more than in full
#and that’s wonderful and beautiful but what is the younger brothers perspective?
#and THEN their father gives the younger brother into the older brothers care
#‘go see how your older brother does it and then come back to me’
#so he feels cast off by his father
#and his older brother barely pays him any attention being preoccupied with his own issues
#although he never abandoned their father and always did everything he was asked it’s his older brother who receives all the praise
#after being beaten down again and again he finally returns to his father
#and is welcomed but not with nearly as much fanfare as when his older brother returned
#what is that going to do to him???
