Has Bruce Ever Chillaxed?

[Two Headed Sex Beast]

You know what they say about all work and no play, right? Bruce should recognize that if he doesn't take a mental health day once and a while his work is going to consume him.

I'm sure he doesn't want to find himself on his death bead thinking, "Man! I totally should have taken a little vacay in Fiji at least once".

He got it all out of the way when his parents were alive.

I think bruce need to puff on some chronic post haste, it would do him wonders.

Bruce has certainly relaxed at some point, and may have even chilled once or twice when he was feeling saucy. But I just can't see him chilling and relaxing at the same time. That's crazy pills.

After Infinite Crisis he went away on a ship which lead into 52, but I don't know what happened to Bruce during.

The thing with Bruce/Batman is that for him, "chillaxing" still looks like work to most people. When Bruce has "free time," he probably trains or devises some new Bat-gadget to use on a future case. He wouldn't, say, go to a Gotham Knights game just for the heck of it.

There are incidents of him going on camping/fishing trips with Dick and/or Jason in the past, but you get the feeling that these were also parts of training exercises rather than pure relaxation and recreation.

Batman and Robin #20 he sat down and watched Zorro with Dick, Tim, Damian, and Alfred

Batman doesn't rest.....


....he waits.

Even that felt more like a quasi-religious ritual than simply chilling and enjoying some entertainment, though.

He did once. When he was Eight. His parents paid for that mistake.

Maybe that explains Bruce's aversion to anything that hints at frivolity or fun. He might view a "good time" as a prelude to disaster.

Heck, I feel that way sometimes, and I've never experienced anything as traumatic as Bruce has.

Thogal ritual.

I'm sure he does. No one wants to write a comic on it though. I think Bendis once responded to a fan asking why he treats Daredevil so bad with something along the lines of "Do you want to read a comic where eats a cake for 22 pages?".

And that is the difference between a good writer and a genius writer. The good writer will give you a story with superhero having an interesting adventure, because he knows that readers will like this. The genius writer will give a story where a hero is eating a cake for 22 pages and you will want to see more of it in the next issue.

Yeah, that was less "time to chillax" and more "time to have my soul wounded by swordsmen in the desert, then undergo a ritual described as a 'rehearsal for death' in a cave in the Himalayas. Also, to nearly get poisoned by an evil monk."
