The letter can't effect anything because the letter is from a time line that doesn't exist. Nothing Bruce dad wrote in the letter can effect change because what was supposed to happened before he was even given the letter.
I don't know where dude was going with the thread but my interpretation was, why would Bruce care about his Dad's sentiments when they were from a dad in an alternate reality/universe. The movie made it seem as if both Bruce and his father would have felt the same way about either being alive when either could have had differing feelings about the other based on how those timelines played out.

Because it's still a letter from his dad saying he's proud of him

It's not a letter from his dad. It's a letter from a Thomas Wayne from another fabric of time. We saw the changes that occurred from Flash saving his mother, therefore you can't assume that the Thomas Wayne we see would be the same Thomas Wayne that existed from timeline the movie starts off with(who has long been dead). Again, not a big problem, but a legit observation.

It's still his dad tho. He lost his dad and revived a letter taking about how proud he was of him from a timeline where his dad is alive

have your pops get murdered in front of you ay the age of 8 then receive a letter from your pops in an alternate timeline saying he keeps of you. nikka if that happened to you you'd tear up too. Yo ass not gonna think about "well actually he's not my.dad"

You're nitpicking something so trivial that your missing the fact that his dad is proud of him
And while batman may know that it's not technically his father, He don't care

nikka, I didn't make the thread so Im not nitpicking anything:dahell: I've said in two posts it's not a big problem like the thread starter claimed. That said, the father of the Bruce Wayne who received the letter is dead in that particular timeline. That Bruce Wayne's dad was killed; he never became a ruthless crime fighter who killed people, he died. Flash created a new timeline and interacted with a whole new Thomas Wayne. I personally don't care about the particulars, but it's not nitpicking to point out that the two are unrelated, thus making alternate Thomas Wayne's pride in regular Bruce moot.
