DC Speculation -- how will layoffs affect the Bat books?

[prepmaster]

Bruce main point is to make sure that what he suffered doesn't happen to everyone else. I'm not sure if that means that he has to be a father figure to anybody, but that is his mission stament.

Suffering from what? The pain of losing one's parents. The pain was so great that it motivates him to become a crime fighter to protect the lives of others instead of just going only after the few criminals that were responsible for his parents' death. Whether he would feel like being a father to orphans or not doesn't matter, as a character Bruce has soft spot for orphans he comes across. I don't think the guy has gotten over such pain of losing his parents, which is why he is so motivated to fight crime.
