#alfred raised him right

Bruce ‘raised by a butler’ Wayne knows how to treat everyone no matter their social position with respect.

Can you imagine his outrage and anger at watching how everyone treats the only family he has left? Alfred was his entire world until Dick showed up. And people saw the man that raised him in the same way they noticed a lamp. He swears to himself to never be like them.

So Bruce knows all the janitors names, he pulled strings for his garbage man Donny’s daughter to get into a better school, he thanks waitstaff with the utmost sincerity, he makes genuine conversation with anyone he can so that they know they are seen, he tips graciously and leaves his card with those stuck in a rut with the skills to be more.

Batman fights crime but Bruce Wayne fights apathy.
