It is very typical of Bruce to find some indirect way of getting the emotional support or connection he needs. I don't think he'd ever be able to ask for absolution or something like that about Jason, but telling Cass about him he can see as the Right Thing To Do. But it's no accident that she's the one he's talking to there, and I agree it's not even just about Cass having, say, less baggage/history with Jason. He does, I think, see some instinctual understanding there.

I agree. And also, I was thinking, it's so human, right? To mourn someone by talking about them, their quirks and details and the things they liked. So it's really great that he could 'introduce' someone to Jason. If it'd been someone who knew Jason, he couldn't do that. Not that *that* would be the only reason not to bring Babs, Dick or Tim, but it's something that occurred to me.

But more than that, she is the perfect one to take with him, and he really does open up to her.
