then it struck him that Bruce had lost a son, that Bruce never got to cry tears of joy at having him back, but only tears of sorrow at his funeral.

Nooooo, why would you do that? I was just going along enjoying Bruce being awesome and then got whacked with terrible feelings over Jason. Which is to say, this was excellent. Batman's gentleness with crime victims and with kids in particular is one of my favorite things. He cares so much and I love that Clark got to see that.
