Well I'd say he cares about them all equally. Damian's death really affected him so it's shown more there than it has with Dick. Dick is kind of his first son when you think about it, regardless of their falling out.

He cares about them both pretty equally, Dick is like his first son and he's spent more time with him but Damian is younger and his actual blood son.

If I had to pick one than I'd say he cares more about Dick a little bit more

In the New 52 Bruce only knew Damian for a year. But then again, he only knew Dick for 4(?).

I dunno, this question is hard...

I would say dick. He has known him longer, and he threatened to kill lex luthor if he hurt him and then proceeded to beat the crap out of him. Damians death didn't affect batman as much as Jason todds death did, and batman cares about dick more than he cares about jason

I think he is more intimate with Dick. He gives dick more affection and care because Dick is so small.......................

Obviously his own damn son. But I'd like Greyson more.

I think he overall cares more about Dick, but treats Damian more as his son.

@jayc1324: Damian was the only one in DOFT who still trusted Bruce and was the first person he saved from Joker's death trap.

Their bond is stronger.

Dick for sure. Injustice convinced me that Batman's connection with Dick should be deeper and more personal.

@comicstooge: well it makes sense he saves the little kid first. Dick comes to Bruce's house and just chats and jokes around with him for fun. No other Robin does that.

@jayc1324: Chatting and joking aren't in Damian's nature.

Bruce and Damian had father/son brooding time.

@comicstooge: But Damian and Bruce don't interact on the level that bruce and dick do. Not to mention Bruce knew dick longer and actually raised him.

@oosupermanthathoeoo: that is actually a very misunderstood proverb. Most would assume then that, by this logic, Bruce would care more about Damian than Dick. But actually its the opposite.

The "blood" of the covenant is thicker than the "water" of the womb. Which means the "water of the womb," or our family relationships, is not as strong as the "blood" of the covenant. "Blood", shared by family, was to be interpreted as literal blood. The blood that is shed by soldiers on the battlefield makes for stronger bonds than those of the family you happened by chance to be born into.

I do think that the relationship between Dick and Bruce is stronger and that in their case the "blood" is stronger than the "water" ;)

Too much? lol

In the short time he spent with Damian, they had far more personal moments than Bruce and Dick.

@t_hench: Interesting contention, thanks. I replied in haste, honestly I know that Bruce and Dick have greater shared experience. But in trying to empathize with the situation, I can't help but feel that I would instinctively possess a much more organic, and strengthened connection to a biological relative especially a son or daughter.
