Let's Start With The Dead Parents And Go From There

[batdweeb]

1. He doesn't remember the actual murder of his parents (generally referred to as The Park Row Incident) very well- he knows what happened, but if he actually just tries to think back to it he mostly just gets upsetting impressions and snippets of what he saw, and he isn't sure of all the details. This bothers him greatly, since his memory is normally scarily good.

2. On a similar note, he's very prone to nightmares, especially when he's under a lot of stress, and he had them pretty much constantly for months after his parents died. He's actually pretty used to them, to the point where he gets over them very quickly after waking and is good at functioning on less than enough sleep.

3. He only listens to music when he's in a good mood and not doing anything too important. If he's in a bad mood, or needs to focus, he prefers silence.

4. He can ignore eating for a while, but he otherwise has a huge appetite and will basically inhale anything you put in front of him. Batmanning burns a lot of calories! As does the physical training necessary to keep Batmanning!

5. Bruce is rarely truly jealous of anybody, but he sometimes gets pangs when friends of his with large families start talking about their siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc. The Wayne family is tiny, and if he does have any relatives they're probably distant from him in some way.

6. He knows ASL! Which he's actually canonically shown using, so I don't think this technically counts as headcanon, but it's a neat tidbit of information, right?

7. He's one of those men who don't cry much, if at all. It's partly a strongly ingrained habit, since he used to deliberately suppress his tears when he was a teenager, but he's also naturally not prone to crying much.

8. His favorite food is mulligatawny soup.

9. His domestic skills are mediocre, although he's not ridiculously bad- his apartment in Freesia is a little cluttered for instance, but he throws out garbage and washes his food dishes so it doesn't get gross, and while he's not gonna accidentally destroy an oven trying to cook something it might turn out a bit over or underdone.

10. When Bruce was a kid, he would sometimes gently bite his thumb while he was worrying and/or thinking very hard about something. Due to the influence of his parents and Alfred he wound up dropping the habit, but he still instinctively moves his hand to his mouth and jaw under similar circumstances.
