It's nice to get a Bruce and Dick moment without Alfred.
Not really.
He had only anger issue at the beginning, when he discovered that Two Face killed his Father, which he overcame within the same story, and close to the end of Starlin's run, leading up to DitF. And it wasn't really like Bruce was that much better during that run (just read Batman #414).
And considering the cases where that happend I'm not sure the other Robins would have taken that much better.

Jason's time as Robin was hard for a child. The whole story with the diplomat's son everyone remembers is the same story he discovers the victim's corpse after she kills herself, iirc. Then, you have The Cult, which was one hell of a trip. Heck, even pre-Crisis he had all that mess with Nocturna and finding his parents were... eaten by alligators, I think it was (it's been a while, may be missremembering).
Tim had it tough too, eventually. But Jason's time, as short as it was, it went ver hard and with very little support.
You had than also multiple cases in a row where Batman's methods simply failed because the villains were either to powerfull (Blackfire and KGBeast) or got away for legal reasons (Dumpster Killer and Diplomat's son), and than you had of course also Joker crippling Barbara during that time, I don't think Dick or Tim had ever to go through something like that during their early time as Robin.
The Cult was particularly horrific, and probably the worst thing that went down in Gotham in continuity at that point, and for quite some time afterwards.
And KGBeast killed iirc almost 100 people during "10 Nights of the Beast" which is likely by far the highest body during a single story up to that point.
From the last set of books I read, Tim had to deal with Azrael and Bane plus Gotham got hit super COVID and then destroyed by an earthquake the next year.
"Cable was right!"
The Cult imo still way worse imo.
Also Tim wasn't that effected by those events, or at least didn't wittness a lot of the really ugly stuff, he iirc didn't came that much in contact with Azrael and Bane during Knightfall, was himself one of the ones who got "super COVID" and was mostly not in Gotham during No Man's Land.
And in the End Bruce allways did win and his moral code allways woreked, which wasn't the case during Jason's time as Robin.

I don't entirely understand why there is 4 Robins narrative in the first place. Two of them haven't been Robins in decades and most of the stories that feature all 4 of them feel forced because there is not much reason for them to be involved in the same storylines.
