The concept of 18yo tim being abused by 10yo Damian

[sora-no]

The concept of 19yo Jason feeling paternal towards 18yo tim

[cephalog0d]

Just thinking about all the names Dick called Jason for most of the night they met (in this version of things) before he finally deigned to actually call him Robin. XD (These are in chronological order, because I think it’s funny you can see Jason growing on him through the course of the evening.)

(And then the next day actually finding out his real name, and Jason’s response, they’re both such brats and I love them so much)

The thing that makes the Bats erasure of Jason's memory so heinous to me is that it stands against the very meaning of funerary rites or holding a funeral for somebody. Funerals and funerary rites are not just a form of closure for the living to cry their hearts out and get shitfaced before trying to move on (even though its a valid way of grieving and nobody should be shamed for how they handle losing loved ones). They are meant to be a way to remember the dead, and in many cases, celebrate the person they were, to guide them to where to they will go from now on. No matter where you go, no matter where you aim your dart on the map, you will find a culture whose funerary customs involve a sense of deep reverence, respect, and love for the dead. Some cultures have funerary rites that last years. In some cultures the living change parts of themselves, (i.e cutting hair). Some bury cherished/important items with the dead. Many cultures have days where people can celebrate the dead, celebrate the loved ones who have passed. But no matter what, the intent is all the same: to show their love for people who have passed, even after the actual funeral. Its a foundational part of every society to pay their respects to the dead, to remember the people that came before you and cherish the things they have done/contributed to society.

Yeah, Jason got a quiet and expensive funeral. Yes, Bruce loved him and Jason's death broke him. Yes, Dick, Alfred, and Barbara mourned and grieved him even after his casket was lowered to the ground. But grief does not equate to love or respecting the dead. You could hate someone and still be filled with grief that something bad happened to them. But the thing that gets me the most is the fact that there was no celebration of Jason as who he was and what he could have been. Nobody kept alive the memory of the bright, sweet boy who survived the worst of what Gotham could throw at him. Nobody bothered to remember Jason as he actually was: a kind boy who cared about people so deeply that he couldn't sit idly by while the powerful abused their powers and hurt others. A boy so young but so brave, who didn't need anybody to tell him to do the right thing, because he'd just do it. Nobody told the story of a boy who brought Batman a moment of joy during great despair. Nobody remembered Jason as he actually was. His memory was tarnished, trashed, and erased by the very people who were supposed to uphold his memory and make sure that everybody remembered him.

A History of (Supposed) Violence: Jason Todd's Every Kill, part 5

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Foreword: Jason Todd kills people. But has he killed as many people as fandom thinks he has? I'm starting to think the answer is a resounding no. Therefore, I am starting this series to list every single one of Jason Todd's on-page, confirmed kills, and -- to be fair -- all of the heavily-implied and attemped ones, too.

Caveat: I have not read every single comic featuring Jason Todd. But by God, by the end of this series, I will have. Do not send me angry messages telling me I have forgotten this glaring example of his murderous ways. I am moving in deliberate, exhaustive, chronological order. I will get to it.

Part 5: Green Arrow #69, "Seeing Red"

Having (thankfully) recovered from his habit of killing indiscriminately and (tragically) having lost the tentacle arms, Jason enters the Green Arrow universe by killing a bunch of gun runners who were about to shoot local baddie Brick, who I have only known for thirty seconds but I already love.

5 henches down. Green Arrow -- I really need to read more of his comics, he's very entertaining and seems like the kinda guy who'd throw a brick at a cop given half a reason -- duels with Jason a bit while Jason compliments his skill, but Jason's actually in town to kidnap Speedy, aka Mia Dearden.

He then takes her to her school and spars with her, while lecturing her about being a sidekick.

Eventually he gets the upper hand, and brings class consciousness into their discussion.

Then he just...lets her go. Well, he does blow up her school -- he's dramatic like that. But he lets her go, and afterwards she tells Green Arrow that Jason didn't hurt her, that "we just talked."

I'm not counting this as a murder attempt. That would be fucking ridiculous. He has her in a chokehold for all of three panels, then lets her go unharmed, and in Mia's own words he just wanted to talk to her. That fans make this out to be a big deal boggles my mind.

Death count: 5 henches

Jaybin was such a cutie. Jason Todd Robin they can never make me hate you.

"Oh he had a darkness in him" Wrong! Lies! Slander! He felt bad for people like Scarecrow

"Bruce worried about the anger in him" Shut up! Lies! That was his little guy!

i am going to drown myself in the nearest lake. they dont even know what's gonna happen in 2 years. Jim Starlin when I get you.

Timmy-Todd switch? What do you mean?

ok so this kid who everyone knows from their childhood

is Tim Drake from the New Batman Adventures (or the fourth season of BTAS where they changed the art style). This is probably most people’s first exposure to “Tim Drake” and maybe even the Robin character outside of the Teen Titans animated series. But despite the name, this kid is NOT Tim Drake, he is Jason Todd with Tim’s name and I’ll never understand why they did that.

This Tim was a poor Gothamite kid living in Crime Alley with his scummy villain dad who worked for Two Face. He liked the idea of Batman but when his father is inevitably killed by Two Face, Bruce adopts him as his second ward and the new Robin. He’s a good kind, kind of surly and unrefined but very warm-hearted. He helps try to bridge the bad blood between btw B and Dick, he works very hard to keep people safe. He’s fun and snarky and loves being Robin. In the Return of the Joker Batman Beyond movie, it was revealed that he was kidnapped and tortured by the Joker/Harley and needed massive psychological reconditioning in order to become functional again. It marked the end of Batman’s tenure with partners and deeply affected the rest of his career and familial relationships. 

Like….. every single word there is Jason Todd’s personality and storyline, all they did was switch the names and it drives me crazy. Not only does Jason deserve some goddamn credit for being the wonderful Robin that he was but its also a discredit to Tim who definitely was not a Jay kind of Robin. 

The only reason I can think of is the NBA ran from 1997 to 99 which was the height of Tim’s tenure as Robin. He was a name kids would recognize if they went from tv to comics whereas Jason Todd was the dead Robin no one bothered to remember except for angst until Hush and then Under the Red Hood. Still, as much as I love BTAS and even that iteration of the character, I call him Timmy Todd NOT Tim Drake because he is Jason in everything but name and it will never not annoy me.

[agerebatfam]

Hi! I actually have an answer for this question!

Jason Todd was dead.

And there were no plans on bringing him back. If they had used Jason’s name, fans would have known that the kid was going to horrifically die at some point. And this was a kid’s show that had been explicitly forbidden from showing death in any form.

Speaking of people being unfair to Cass Cain...

Previously I complained about how Nightwing blamed Cass for her brainwashed villain arc, but we also have Batman angsting over her killing someone....during her abusive childhood, under the manipulations of her (first - get fucked, Bruce) abusive father... as though it makes her a bad person permanently 🙄

Screenshots below the cut

It had already been established that the bats, including Bruce, knew the David Cain was abusive and raised Cass to be a weapon:

(Batgirl vol 1 #1, 2000)

We also know Bruce trained with Cain, but we're expected to believe Cain never even asked Bruce to kill anyone? It's not like no one knows Cain is an assassin. Why is it a shock he would have made her kill someone?

And Bruce had previously tried to shame her for 'failing' a mission... because the person she rescued then died of pre-existing injuries???

(Batgirl vol 1 #3, 2000)

But then Cain sent a video of Cass's first (and only, though I suppose he wouldn't know at that point) assassination, and Bruce freaks out:

Then we get this pretty awful view of his shocked face. There were some weird angles on Babs, too - what's up with the art style here? Anyway...

And it's not just shock that it happened or at seeing it, he definitely changes his whole opinion about Cass:

And then grasps at the video being fake, rather than that Cass (at 9 years old!) hadn't done it voluntarily, or even if she had that she wanted to turn over a new leaf now:

(all from Batgirl vol 1 #4, 2000)

I won't bother with screen caps of everything, but the ensuing investigation involves keeping Babs/Oracle in the dark, hanging up on Tim when he starts to push, flying to Macau to dig up the body, then confronting Cain:

(Batgirl #5)

"You're trying to take her away from me. From the life she has now. You want me to think she's like you. A killer."

I do enjoy the dig at the "World's Greatest Detective" bullshit, though.

Then Bruce sidelines Cass during a mission:

(Batgirl #6)

He does seem to let it go afterward, so it's not exactly the worst example of his parenting, but still. I thought this was a nice companion piece to my last Batgirl post.

[bitter-hibiscus]

Something about Ollie being the first (and maybe only? iirc?) hero to ever verbalize that Jason's issues are Bruce's fault

[warrior-of-storms]

Timeline addiction so bad that a fic can be literally tailor-made for me, all my favorite tags, interesting concept, perfect characterization, but if it mentions Dick being in Bludhaven too early or Jason dying too late I literally can't read it

[warrior-of-storms]

The Drakes only moved next door to Wayne Manor near the beginning of Knightfall/shortly before Knightfall. They lived in a nice apartment in Gotham before that, & moved so Jack could have a more accessible living space while he was in a wheelchair. Janet never lived next door to Bruce, she was already dead by the time they moved there. Tim talked Jack into that particular house specifically so that he could make a secret passageway to the Batcave in the basement. Because he was already Robin.

[warrior-of-storms]

Bane was introduced just barely before Knightfall, he is not a Dickbin or Jaybin era villain

Cass was introduced (and adopted!) years before Damian in his modern form was introduced

Jack Drake died in 2004, i.e. he was dead before UTRH, and he was dead before the Titans Tower Jason v Tim fight, but he was not dead during a lot of the major events associated with Timbin

Steph was introduced before Cass. Like, Stephanie existed for almost a decade before Cassandra

Tim was not alone in Titans Tower when he & Jason had their little Teen Titans (2003) #29 fight (Jason did drug or otherwise take out the rest of the team before tracking down Tim though, that is accurate)

Dick was Discowing, full collar and vee neck and feathers original flavor Discowing, the entire time Jason was Robin and for a decent chunk of Timbin as well

Harley Quinn wasn't introduced until the late 90s, her first appearance was around No Man's Land

Teen Titans (2003) #29

The New Teen Titans (1984) #29-31, featuring Jason Todd Robin

(#29)

(#30)

(#31)

Real aggressive and determined to be better than Batman guy right here. Remember when he *checks notes* knew this threat was out of his league so he fell back to protect and give medical attention to Raven's mother while the others continued the fight.

Brought Arella to Raven to try to fight the mind control- and the fact he brought Arella there led to Raven healing her/taking her pain, further helping save her mother

And then after all was said and done, saying he would like to be better- so he could be more helpful to the Titans, as he felt he didn't and couldnt do much during this event due to his own experience compared to the situation

He repeatedly mentions how he's gonna be in big trouble with Batman due to going out to help without his permission or knowing. As well as being scared and fully acknowledging his weaknesses (yet helping- due to him staying more level headed while the rest of the Titans were keyed up, dare I say aggressive haha so he was able to notice Arella was alive and help her- and give the others the opportunity to keep going through the mission without having to worry about her)

And this all being an example from (if I recall) the only comic story where Raven and Jaybin actually ever come close to interacting

[oatlystrawberryicecream]

this is my version of a ‘things to keep in mind when writing abusive/bad parent bruce’ but this is focused on bruce’s perspective rather than that of his children. i am not debating whether or not bruce is written as abusive (he is) or the exact parameters of the harm he has done.

1. bruce has mistreated all his kids at times. bruce’s kids all overlook or put up with his bad parenting to some extent

2. bruce (like all abusers) will not change unless he is made to* his behaviors serve a purpose and benefit him. if he didn’t get something he wanted from it there would be no need to subjugate and punish or lash out at** his family. this stuff is not some kind of self sabotage that hurts him worse than it hurts anyone else. i don’t think he takes pleasure in hurting his kids but it is a means to an end for him. the behavior may be borne of or influenced by trauma but that does not excuse it or make him any more worthy of understanding or forgiveness from the people he has wronged.

3. bruce is well meaning and cares a great deal about the family he mistreats. he knows them well and wants them to be safe and happy but he is clearly very good at ignoring all that and prioritizing his preferences and imposing them on others if he chooses. abusers often have good qualities and not just as some kind of camouflage or shell they show the world but because all people have some good qualities. there is no amount of goodness or benefit to the world as a whole that excuses or erases the harm a person does. abusers are incredible at feeling bad about things they do and the ways victims are impacted but not letting it influence their opinion of themself. abusers are commonly able to denounce the violence and cruelty of abuse while holding themselves as different and justified. they don’t necessarily think of themselves as bad people. all of this is important to keep in mind when going for a nuanced take on bad parent bruce

*he is made to understand that the only way to be in his family’s lives is to actually change and progress and quit hurting them

**i am talking about both physical abuse, emotional/verbal abuse, and control and coercion using his wealth and his role as their father and batman
