If they did ever have a Challengers team-up again, would they address how Jason was talked about in Countdown? Nevermind while typing this I realized they'd just have Jason say, "Yeah I was so angry back then" and be done with it.

Thinking about this random scene in Gotham War... how Steph never had the option of saying Bruce's name for the longest time because she never knew and yet he knew who she was all along and how he repeatedly used that against her. How he once told her "remember, Stephanie, we know who you are under the mask." How when Bruce fires her as Robin he calls her 'Stephanie', and him saying her name is what tells her something's wrong. How Bruce asked Cass to give Steph Batgirl in Reborn era but still calls her Spoiler time a 'liability'. So Stephanie Brown, currently Batgirl, asks a question about Bruce. And Bruce walks in and says: no names in the field, Spoiler.

“why did people characterize him like this when it doesn’t even make sense“ unfortunately the answer is usually racism

everyone is irritating me today you all need to read more sociology

#this is vagueposting specific discourse happening rn but this statement applies generally

Reminder that UTRH is written from Batman’s perspective and centers his POV and his feelings as a character. Same goes for the return to Magdala Valley

the crazy thing about "being Robin gives me magic" is that that is not the most iconic line Jason has in that conversation

It's this obviously.

Let Jason kill the Joker or kill Jason to stop him. Those were the options Bruce was given that night. If you say Bruce sees witnessesing a murder as the same as committing one, thats all good, but im begging for you to include in your post or analysis the actual options Jason said. Because far too many people believe Jason literally asked Bruce to kill the Joker with his own hands.

"Jason tried to force Bruce to kill the Joker" is a faster sentence for the situation sure, but its gonna make people think either that Jason was trying to make Bruce do the kill on Joker himself, or that your post is bullshit.

Did Jason ask why Bruce hadnt killed the Joker? Did Jason want Bruce to kill the Joker? Yes. But once Bruce answered him that he'd never kill, Jason didn't try to force him to kill the Joker. Jason switched to saying he'd do the kill himself. The only person Jason tried to 'force' Bruce to kill that night was Jason himself and that was only if Bruce wanted to stop him from killing Joker. Let me kill the Joker or kill me to stop me.

Im not even saying this isnt a fucked up situation to put Bruce in! Im not even saying this doesn't still count as making Bruce kill! You can say that! Im not trying to cut off any interpretation of the panels here and say some are bad! Just! Im begging for the sentences that imply a completely different scene to end already. Jason did not make an ultimatum where he asked Bruce to blow Joker's brains out.

The thing about Jason Todd is that there's a profound lack of resentment towards his parental figures. It's the foundation of his character at this point and also his fatal flaw.

He's died to a parental figure, directly and not, at least three separate times and still got nothing bad to say about them. In fact he would still actively defend them with his life if given the chance, it's that dire.

i have no evidence to back this up but dc aged jason up so it won’t look bad that a child died. but also that he was trotting around the world being a murdering crimelord as a teen but also because a minor running circles around batman looks bad.

every time someone posts a jaybin panel from barr’s TEC run and calls it pre-crisis a fairy dies btw

#jason todd #its a pet peeve #fratures the literal first depiction of jasons post crisis origin story #it is referenced in legends #there is no question of whether its post crisis or not #dc

some of you mistake alfred's british zingers and poise for authority and it shows. that man has so little sway over bruce's actions he had to sleep on the streets with the rats in no man's land. his only recourse when bruce crosses a line is to quit as his employee, and it doesn't work and he always comes back to bruce without anything changing on his part. this man is not "the most powerful member of the batfam", he's just someone else here for bruce's use.
