Most of the Batkids lie to Batman.
What’s unique about Tim “I lie to Batman” Drake is that he lies *successfully* to Batman.
Damian just states blatant untruths and expects people to believe them. Dick puts on a good act, but it can’t fool his family, even if they won’t call him out on it. Jason’s emotions are too easy to read, even with his helmet on. Cass lies with her words, but never with her body. Duke lacks self-awareness of his insanity and thus doesn’t try to hide any of it. Steph and Barbara don’t even bother, because Batman has no authority over her whatsoever.
Tim, though? He was raised by boarding schools and nannies and practically incentivized to lie to adults. He’s so earnest and well-meaning that everyone expects him to be a compulsive truth-teller, and he weaponizes it like the little gremlin he is. And when that isn’t enough, he knows how to spin things just right that they don’t quite sound like an untruth.
You ever have that moment when finals are coming up and you have four papers to write, two art projects to finish and present, a test to study for, and two exams and you can't even get out of bed and your like "shit, maybe it won't work out this time" and then a couple days later you finally finish an (yeah just one of them) essay that's been hanging over your head and suddenly you think that maybe if you budget your time well that you can avoid failure but instead of working on all of that you are on your phone making a tumbler post? Umm *definitely* couldn't be me... Couldn't be me...
I'm gonna start protesting cishet rights.
