Chapter 1526: Bat's Nest Farce (Part 2)

The Robins from the main universe were shocked by the return of the Waynes, but not that shocked, because their shock limit had been used up during this period. After continuous intense emotions, people often enter a numb state, and will not have too 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 obtained from Mount Olympus and practicing to combine them with his usual combat methods. Red Hood is still recalling what he saw and heard along the way with Schiller. He has been obsessed with psychology books these days. Red Robin is recovering from his injuries and is pushed to the yard by Alfred to bask in the sun on time every day.

Martha feels very sympathetic to the experience of the Robins, so she plays the role of a female elder of a large family as much as possible, taking care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the younger generations, asking about their well-being, and gently solving their confusion.

In fact, Thomas and Martha also have differences in the education of their children, and because of the personality solidification brought about by the crazy torture of them for so many years, the degree of this difference can basically be described as: Fortunately, Bruce died early.

Thomas is a traditional strict father. His educational method is to show his majesty and then drive the children to learn the knowledge and skills necessary for survival. Martha is a traditional loving mother. By taking care of the children, she makes them feel loved and improves their personality.

In theory, such a family structure is already perfect, but it is inevitable that Thomas will feel that Martha is too doting on the children, while Martha will feel that Thomas puts too much pressure on them. This is a problem faced by almost all strict father and loving mother families.

Once they have a confrontation in this regard, the children will naturally be divided into two factions because of their different attitudes towards education, just like the Robins.

Nightwing and Red Hood both prefer Martha. They enjoy gentle care and meticulous care, and at the same time they are insensitive to Thomas's aggressive and oppressive educational methods.

Elsa and Damian both have a better relationship with Thomas. Elsa prefers Thomas, purely because younger children are more accustomed to relying on authority. They think it is a very safe thing to have someone tell them how to do things all the time.

As for Damian, there is no need to say more. He is the king of the king of the king of the king. He thinks he is the heir chosen by God. In the past, because he was the youngest in the Bat family, everyone treated him as a child. This time, he can finally show his strengths. Of course, he will like to follow Thomas to familiarize himself with the affairs of the Wayne Group.

Red Robin is more interested in Bruce. He found that the Batman of this universe has endless secrets to explore, so even if his injury has not healed, he sticks to Bruce every day and does research with him.

The smaller Robins can be roughly divided into: "I am almost exhausted from ballet and cultural classes, and you can't run away", "Although I am the same person as you, I just don't make the same choice as you", "The idol is Batman, so we will be invincible if we join forces", and Harley, who is a big fan of "I love to watch the fight and people die at my doorstep".

Logically speaking, it is not a problem for more than a dozen people to live in the largest manor in Gotham, and there will be no crowding. However, these dozens of nested relationships make the Wayne family live in the manor with a feeling of crowds.

Although many people call Batman and his friends the "Bat Family", in fact, the Bat Family does not meet the definition of a family because the class of the Bat Family is not clear enough.

The structure of the Bat Family can be roughly described as one super and many strong. Batman is a super leader. His power and prestige are greater than everyone else, and the power of all the remaining members is equal. In simple terms, 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 power to educate Damian when he is angry or gets into trouble, because they are still brothers of the same level, and there is no class difference.

What unites this family is love rather than interests, so the natural derivative cannot be class and power.

The Bat Family is like a utopia, with a truly omniscient and omnipotent head who can convince everyone, and all the others are united and friendly, not oppressing each other, just for the belief in their hearts.

But the biggest problem is that the Bat Family lacks socialization education for young children. The group that unites in this way is very rare in society, and naturally cannot provide any social experience of normal human society for its members.

Wherever humans exist, there are classes, either explicit or implicit. This is an indispensable social stage in the evolution of intelligent races. How to accept the influence of others and how to influence others is a compulsory course for every teenager before entering society, 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, and then a dangerous state of being controlled by others or closing oneself off.

It is not a good thing to forcibly level all the classes in a group. It is not to eliminate classes fundamentally, but to avoid talking about socialization, which is an evasive attitude.

For example, there is no power difference between Nightwing, the oldest and most mature member of the Bat Family and the one most trusted by Batman, and Damian, who is young and joined the group late. This will lead to Damian getting into trouble and Nightwing cannot control him. Nightwing will clean up the mess for him, but he will not learn his lesson and dare to do it again next time.

Over time, the relationship between the two will not become more harmonious, because the constant tolerance and retreat of one party in a relationship is actually at the cost of consuming emotions, which is not healthy.

Learning to obey the majestic individuals in the group is as important as learning to establish majesty in the group. This is the social gene of selecting the best from the best in social creatures to ensure the normal operation of the group.

In the process of doing these two things, humans learn to read other people's emotions, and also show their social codes to others by releasing emotions, so as to obtain emotional feedback from others and provide emotional feedback to others. This is an indispensable social need for human survival.

A large family with multiple classes is the perfect place for socialized education. If the Bat Family in the main universe is compared to a high school where only teachers have authority, then Wayne Manor at this moment is more like a university.

The Waynes are undoubtedly the highest class in this large family, because they are older and have the highest generation, and they also bear the expenses of the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and have the greatest right to distribute wealth and resources.

Next are Bruce and Alfred, because Bruce has gained everyone's trust with his own ability, and Alfred is given the responsibility of managing and taking care of the family by the head of the family.

And there is more than one group of children, which can be roughly divided into big children and small children, outsiders and natives, father-like and mother-like groups, and can even be subdivided into learning groups and sports groups, daytime activities and night activities groups.

This constitutes an extremely complex interpersonal relationship, making the entire Wayne Manor a complex society similar to the real society, and everyone needs to learn to find their own position in this society.

It is actually a very valuable skill to position oneself through the evaluation of people with different positions, and then evaluate others based on one's own position, because it requires a stable personality, self-consistent logic and controlled emotions to look at the evaluation of others fairly and objectively.

When such a large family gathers together, no matter what they do, they are conducting countless social reinforcement training.

To give the simplest example, when everyone in Wayne Manor gathered together for the first time to have a meal together, it was a big test for Robin.

Thomas and Martha received aristocratic education and were also proficient in some educational skills, so when they walked to the dining table, they deliberately slowed down to observe how the children chose their seats.

Bruce sat in the eldest son's seat on the right without thinking, and then 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, had no place to sit.

Nightwing seemed a little at a loss, because he didn't know who the seat opposite Bruce was for. If he sat there, would Martha have no place to sit?

Martha is very kind to everyone. If I take her seat and make her feel embarrassed, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with hatred? If I make such a mistake, will it cause public outrage?

Nightwing slowed down his pace and became a little cautious. The seemingly rough but actually observant Red Hood also saw the current problem. If Nightwing is not sure about his seat, then he can't be sure, because if he is sure first, it is equivalent to helping Nightwing to be sure. What if he is wrong?

Red Robin coughed lightly, and Nightwing and Red Hood looked at him with a look of help, because they knew that Tim had received aristocratic education and he must know what to do.

At this time, Red Robin turned his head and looked at Alfred next to him. Alfred pushed his wheelchair to the same side as Bruce, but one seat away, moved the chair away, and then pushed the wheelchair over.

Nightwing and Red Hood breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, because this meant that their choice not to act rashly was right. The seat opposite Bruce was indeed reserved for Martha.

So Nightwing sat down next to Bruce, and Red Hood sat opposite him.

Then it was the turn of the younger generation to choose seats, and another problem arose. They were not in the same group as the outsiders, so should Dick sit opposite Red Robin, or should he sit in a new row and keep Dick and Jason sitting opposite each other?

After hesitating for a while, Dick chose to sit opposite Red Robin, which was actually the social signal he released, representing friendliness and acceptance.

When the three small Robins also took their seats one by one, Harley, who came out later, sat opposite Tim. Normally, Damian and Aisha should sit opposite each other, but Damian was obviously very dissatisfied 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 switch seats, Dick, you go hold Elsa, didn't you say you like her very much?"

And Nightwing instinctively stood up to make room for Damian. In his opinion, this was nothing at all. Isn't it the same to sit anywhere to eat? But Thomas cleared his throat heavily, and Bruce looked up at Nightwing.

But in the end, Nightwing thought there was something wrong with him, and stood there stiffly, neither standing nor sitting, looking very embarrassed.

"Damian, go sit in the back." Thomas raised his chin and motioned Damian to sit opposite Elsa.

Damian just opened his mouth to say something, and Red Hood said to him: "Go quickly, who can you blame for getting up late? If you want to sit in the front, get up earlier next time."

But unexpectedly, when this sentence came out, Thomas, Martha and Bruce frowned together.
