If you don't mind me asking, how many versions of Jason out there?
Oh there are so many versions of Jason out there, my dear anon :)
But I will introduce you to the most important versions of him in this post.Ā
Pre-Crisis Jason (underappreciated gem):
āIām Robin, and being Robin gives magicā
The First Jason, the one with acrobats parents who were killed by Killer Croc and then got adopted by Bruce Wayne. He was playful kid, kinda bratty, insecure and you canāt help but feel as proud as Bruce when you see him mature through the run. He had a better life than the other Jasons and better relationships. He also got the best Batdad ever (seriously, pre-crisis Bruce was the best batdad you will ever see).Ā
If you guys ever wondered what Jason would be like without all these tragedies, then just read Pre-Crisis Jasonās stories and you will find out.
Dark knight Returns MillerāJason:
āBut The Joker is out thereā¦.thereās no telling what heāll doā
The first one who started theĀ āJason has to die in every universeā circle and his death pushed Bruce to retirement. We unfortunately donāt know much about his parents or how did he meet Batman. He was extremely brutal (There would be no criminals left in Gotham if this Jason got the chance to grow up) and protective of Batman. He was also trained to be the next Batman, but unfortunately died before he could take the mantle.
Post-Crisis Jason (the one tumblr is in love with):
āTry and catch me, you big boobā
The one who died by a vote and then returned as Red Hood. He was a street kid with a criminal father and addicted mother. He met Batman when he tried to steal the batmobileās tires and become Robin later. He was killed by The Joker after his real mother betrayed him (and stayed died for almost 20 years) and then return later after digging himself out of his grave.Ā
āFather Todd, but you can call me Jasonā
Ever wondered what would have become of Jason if he never meet Batman? Well, we got the answer in Flashpoint, a world where Bruce died instead of his parents.Ā Jason ended up falling in with the Church of BloodĀ run by Brother Blood. He mysteriously still died and resurrected and his hair bore a white streak suggesting that he was brought back by a Lazarus Pit. After his resurrection, Jason was taken in by the church where he turned his life around and became a priest.
What interesting (and sad) about this take is it proves that Jason would have been better off if he never meet Bruce. That Bruce actually doomed him.
New 52 Jason (anotherunderappreciated gem):
āYou canāt tell, but Iām shedding a single tearĀ underneathĀ this hoodā
The one with harsher home life and better relationship with the Batfamily. Like PC Jason, his father was criminal and his mother was addicted. But unlike the other versions, Jasonās father was abusive toward him and his mother. He trained under Batman, LoA and All Caste (heās seriously strong). Teamed up with Kori and Roy for awhile (and become one of the top ten most wanted criminal in the world), Started a company with Roy and now heās teaming up with Artemis and Bizarro.
He is the current version that being used in the main DC universe and honestly? Iām pretty fond of him :)
āItāsĀ personal, veryĀ personalā
The one who never died, but you will wish that he did (seriously, his life freaking sucks in this universe).Ā Jason was kidnapped by the Joker and tortured both physically and mentally for a year. The Joker brainwashed Jason to hate Bruce and even get close enough to telling him Batmanās identity before Joker shot Jason and send the video to Batman making him think that Jason was dead. After The Joker died, Jason become Arkham Knight and worked with Scarecrow to takeover Gotham and break & kill Batman. He formed a militia and had Deathstroke as his right hand.
At the end of the game and after Bruce defeated Jason and stopped his army, Bruce was kidnapped by Scarecrow which resulted in a broken Jason saving him.
Honorable mention: Bombshellsā Jason
āIf all the good people left Spain, then who would be left to fight for her?ā
In this version, Jason was taken under Kate and Renee care. He was born during a war and refused to leave when everyone did to protect his country. He was described as cunning and clever who helped out Kate and Renee a lot. He died later in Kateās arms which affected her and Renee deeply.
Yay, another long post and Iām tagging this because I was planning to do a post about different versions of Jason anyway.
