Summary
He gestured wildly to himself, voice splintering. “I’ve looked exactly like this for years. I don’t have scars. My bones don’t ache. No wrinkles, no sunspots, not even a single gray hair!”
“I have no evidence of my life mapped out on my body,” He whispered.
Bruce listened in stricken silence. He couldn’t argue when the proof was right in front of him. All his years, no matter how enervated Kal was, he always looked flawless. Untouched. His skin smooth, unscarred, unchanging.
When they first met, Bruce had envied that invulnerability. Later, he’d found comfort in it. A small, selfish relief that Kal was safe from the world’s harm.
He’d never thought of it as a curse.
Never realized that what he saw as protection could feel, to Kal, like loss.
Not until now.

Or Kal watches 'Bicentennial Man' (Not sponsored) one night, and it hits a little too close to home. Luckily, Bruce is there to help him through his nightmare. (If only his brain could catch up to the very serious conversation they were having at three in the morning.)

Summary
Then he took a deep breath and he changed. He ironed out every fold in his posture and his face until he looked like Superman again. His shoulders were broad, his gaze was confident, and his smile showed no sign of embarrassment or fear.
It’s genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
Especially since Bruce knows that change. He’s seen it in the mirror before entering parties or nightclubs. He’s always referred to it, internally, as 'putting on my better face.' The façade is his least favourite part of the day, ranking just below 'getting punched by supervillains.'
The idea that Superman is just Kal's better face, that would explain a lot.
It would also mean Bruce isn't alone.

It was a Thursday afternoon at the end of March, and Bruce Wayne met Clark Kent in the way enterprising billionaires tended to meet investigative reporters: Through an interview.
Kent had posture like cooked spaghetti and wore his plaid like the strangest camouflage in history.Bruce was less than impressed.

Summary
Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.
From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.
The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.
All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.
Bruce couldn’t let that happen.
Not then, not ever again.

Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.
