Son of Batman (2014)

Batman’s paternal instincts have been explored before with the various Robins. You can debate the usefulness of a Robin, but at least they weren't snot-nosed little shits like the youth in SoB. He puts himself in dangerous situations to prove his mastery and ends up ruining everyone’s day.
Does the continuity shake up of JL: War (2014) excuse the uncharacteristic way Batman behaves? It’s one thing to allow an outsider access to the Bat Cave, but to bring him into the world of other people who value their secrecy as much as Batsy is supposed to value his own is ridiculous.
And since when was letting someone who could be saved go ahead and die any different than killing him, in Bruce’s mind at least?
