BruDami
BruDami is the family ship between Bruce Wayne and Damian Wayne.

Canon
Unlike his three other Robins who became his adoptive sons, Damian is Bruce's biological son he had with Talia al Ghul, who drugged Bruce so he could grant her his child. Bruce wasn't aware of Damian's existence until Talia brought their son before him, while Talia had kept the identity of her son's father secret from him before she made the decision for the two to finally meet. Like most kids Damian wants to make his father proud of him, as well as for his parents to work things out so the three of them can be a family, but their codes and separate paths that have them as enemies kept that from happening. Along with forcing Damian to choose between the kill or none kill ways of his parents. Damian's time as Robin had him choose his father's way, even though hanging onto what Talia had drilled into him from his earlier years has it clashing with Bruce's ideals of fighting crime. Bruce on the other hand hasn't given up hope that he'll be able to help Damian fight his killing nature in order to keep it at bay. Due to the way Jason had turned out when he failed to help his second Robin tame his build up anger, he didn't want to make the same mistake with Damian. This had Bruce being a bit more harder on Damian than he was with Dick and Tim, until Damian became a little less selfish and began using his father's justice not vengeance code.

Injustice
Things between Bruce and Damian in the Injustice universe take a turn for the worse, as Damian acceptedly killing Nightwing had led to Batman disowning his bio son while morning the death of his adoptive son. Even though Dick's soul, Deadwing, as forgiven Damian for his death and allows him to become the new Nightwing in his place. Batman, however, wasn't aware that Dick had forgiven Damian and disapproved of him taking up his murdered son's alter ego. Damian's assassin upbringing had him agreeing with Superhero's ideals on peace and sides with him, while seeing him as a replacement father. Making Bruce and Damian enemies in the war between Batman and Superman. Bruce had assumed that Damian's actions were deliberate and him killing Dick was his way of getting ride of a rival, from how Damian had tried to make himself the better Robin than Dick was, hence why he began to think that reforming Damian from his killing ways was a lost cause.

Damian's ending in Injustice 2, however, had Batman sacrifice himself to save his son from a killing blow that was meant for him. This had Damian avenge his father by killing Brainiac, despite the times he had hated Bruce and wanted to escape the Batman's shadow, but after seeing the bat symbol stained with the blood he shares him his father, he became the new Batman in his father's place. The 2021 Injustice film also had Damian show concern for his father when he saw the Batman and a few other League members fight Amazo, showcasing that a part of him still cared about Bruce and had wanted to help the heroes in their battle with Amazo; what his grandfather kept than from happening.

Lego DC Heroes
In the Lego world of the DC universe Batman is shown to be a bit over protective of Damian, as Lego DC Batman: Family Matters reveals that he was worried that his son might turn into Jason. Lego Damian being a happier version of the original Damian Wayne has him enjoying his time as Robin and fighting crime with his father. Who has worked out a bat curfew that allows Damian to continue his education, so he can gain skills to help him in the world, as well as hours he would allow Damian to accompany him on portal. Nightwing notices how Batman's worries has him pushing Damian away and does what he can to remind Bruce that Damian isn't Jason, and how pushing him away might make his fear come true. Like most kids, Damian wasn't happy with his father being too over protective of him, as well as being hard on him to the point it has Batman ordering Robin to stay within the safety of the Batcave; while Damian finds to sneak out so he can join his father and allies. Dick helps Damian to realise that Bruce being hard on him is because he cares and just wants to keep his son safe. At the end of Family Matters Batman is impressed with how Damian was able to help their bat-family allies keep the city safe and showing inactive through buildolagy, he felt that he can trust his son with other responsibilities. Like walking Ace in return for going on portal with him.

BruTim
BruTim is the family ship between Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake

Canon
Unlike the other Robins that have fought beside Batman before going off on their own under a new title, Tim didn't start off as one of Bruce's wards as he still had his parents for a few good years before tragedy struck his family and became an orphan, like Dick and Jason before him. This has Bruce taking Tim in as his third son. There have also been other versions and universes that have Tim being orphaned at a young age, before he meets Batman and has Bruce adopting him when Tim is still a kid. Due to Jason's death, however, Bruce didn't want to train another Robin until he realised that Batman needs a Robin, as much as Robin needs Batman. So to ensure that Tim doesn't get killed like his predecessor, Bruce doesn't let Tim join him on the field until he is fully trained.

Fanon
This family-ship is mostly focused on the Batman: The Animated Series, from how it had Bruce adopt Tim as a kid while the comics had Tim living with his parents before and after he became Robin. Until they got killed and had Bruce making teenage Tim an official member of his makeshift family. Along with there being fans who prefer to have Batman work beside a young Robin than an adult Robin.

DamiMar'iJon

Canon
Damian Wayne is the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul. This makes him an heir to the world's greatest crime-fighter, and its greatest super-villain Ra's al Ghul. Damian became the fifth Robin, working alongside his father as Batman.

Mar'i Grayson, Nightstar, is the daughter of Teen Titans Robin and Starfire in the not too distant future. Her mother died from a circulatory illness when she was young. This happened despite Bruce Wayne's best efforts to help Starfire. Her relationship with her father was somewhat strained due to them being on opposite sides of the conflict. By contrast, she shared a close relationship with Bruce Wayne whom she called Gramps. However, as she grew older, she realized that the world was not the one her parents knew. As such, she devolved into a vigilante, striking out at other metahumans for little or no reason.

Jonathan "Jon" Kent is the firstborn son of Kryptonian superhero Superman and news reporter Lois Lane. He fought crime alongside his father as the young hero Superboy. After growing up in a short period of time, Jon went to the future and joined the Legion of Super-Heroes before returning to the present just in time to pick up the mantle of Superman.

Fanon
Even though they haven't met fans often ship them because of their similarities such as, tragic past , family issues , etc. In the DC comics, Damian and Jon have met in a series of comics called "Super Sons" and Damian and Mar'i have met in the "Kingdome Come" comic series , thus they make individual ships : DamiJon and Demonfire.

Writers portray Mar'i and Jon a bubbly personality and they mostly bond over the fact that they are hybrids, i.e. Mar'i being half Tamaranean and Jon being a half Kryptonian. Both of them thoroughly enjoy troubling Damian.

Red Robin tells the kid that evil can't be caged only killed, but Tim mangas to convince Jason to end his killing spree as he reminds Red Robin that he used to stand for something when he was good, before he became the bad guy and that he should use the pain he feels to become strong, as killing Two-Face won't bring back whoever or whatever he lost or make the pain he feels disappear.
