Dick, Jason and Tim all are Bruce Wayne's biological sons. Tim has been raised by Bruce pretty much all his life. Dick received regular visits until his mother's death. For the first and third, Bruce was always aware. However, Catherine Todd never told him that she had his second son, Jason. Jason is thirteen when his mother decides to contact Bruce. One paternity test later Bruce has full custody of Jason. Jason is less than happy.

Jason is rather hostile toward Bruce out of resentment for missing the first 13 thirteen years of his life.life. In canon, Jason looked up to and loved Bruce until the day he died. His hostility against his father and the rest of the Batfamily didn't start until after his revival, and a good chunk of it was due to lingering effects from the Lazarus Pit.
