It's funny how they rolled every misogynist stereotype about a woman who gets pregnant but doesn't want to be a mother/ "a bad mother" into Sheila Haywood- the not-so-subtle implication she did a botched abortion on a teenager and it killed them and the Joker blackmailing her about it is SO comically on the nose, do you guys see, she does ABORTIONS, she hates BABIES, she's EVIL, worst mom EVER, how dare she give a pregnant teenage girl who was probably desperate not to have her life ruined a way out... (you gotta wonder why Sheila didn't just didn't get an abortion herself if that's the case but whatever),... she's meant to be a career woman, she's embezzling from the needy, not immediately having a motherly bond with a kid you gave up the second he shows up is then conflated with being willing to sell out your kid to a murderer and stand by as he's beaten to death...she smokes...(yes the ultimate arson murder and jaywalking but bad moms in media tend to smoke, it's "unfeminine" and also second hand smoke ig)

but there is still something so compelling about the whole thing, mostly how Jason refuses to hold any of it against her and how she recognizes what a truly good kid he is with her last words (when meanwhile his family largely proceeds to do the opposite in the years following his death).

Her regret is way too little too late, but could she have become a better person if she lived? Would it have been a genuine turnaround or would she have gone back to her old ways?

Older fanfic I notice just tends to dismiss that Jason forgave her--or rather didn't even seem to be mad-- probably because fans themselves are mad at her, which I get, she sucks, what she did WAS unforgiveable (but Jason forgave it anyway!)-- but I've been seeing more meta talking about it, and I'm glad we're looking at it on a more objective level now, because there's interesting stuff there.

it's really quite simple. if you prefer a tonally lighter comics interpretation than me you're an illiterate weenie who doesn't understand themes. and if you prefer a tonally darker comics interpretation than me you hate fun.

[grimbeak]

cant imagine being jack or rose tbh. hottest dilf in the world who makes you go weak in the knees who will hold your hand when you cross the street who exclusively wears long sleeve shirts under his leather jacket who has tired, tired eyes and an entire planet's worth of ptsd and then he dies and turns into some weird looking twink. what the fuck.

Hi yeah so I'm engaging in my weekly hater hours. Jason at his core is a compassionate person with a strong moral compass and a need to help people. From his origin in Batman #408 all the way to his death, he was a passionate, driven, smart, and empathetic kid. After his return, yes he killed people, but he also believed in harm reduction and protecting victims. Jason was always going to be a hero, whether that was at Batman's side as Robin or through serving his community or by pursuing a career in social work, law, medicine, education, etc. Jason was to his core someone who wanted to help, and that selflessness got him killed.

From his very first appearance, Tim was selfish. He had an enthusiasm and naïvety to him, but at the core he was arrogant and self-centered. He's often quoted with "Batman needs a Robin," but his actions indicate a philosophy of "Robin needs to exist." He gets disappointed and frustrated when Dick, 21 years old by the way, refuses to leave the life he's built for himself to play into Tim's fantasy of Dick being Robin again. He is over-confident, crosses clear and obvious boundaries, and steals a dead kid's suit because he thinks his vision of reality is more important than a dead child and his grieving family. Even as he continues as Robin, he remains arrogant, he makes frequent mistakes that could have gotten him and his partner(s) killed, he is blatantly disrespectful to Stephanie both before and when they're dating, he violates people's trust, he acts in his own self-interest, and he revels in his own skill and cleverness without regard for the many, many times people have gotten hurt or nearly hurt because of it. If Jason hadn't died, Tim would have had absolutely no motive to become a hero. He had no innate desire to help, just the selfish belief that Robin needed to exist and the sheer audacity to force himself into that space (and he doesn't even do a good job of it narratively, though that's more on editorial and writers than Tim)

The difference between Tim and Jason is that Jason would have always wanted to help. Tim has never been motivated by helping others.

[dirixxarsn]

was trying to explain this to a friend of mine today. jason is, in his heart, a hero. he wants to help and improve others lives to the best of his abilities. he died protecting others, he died a hero. tim became a hero because of his personal interest in heroes as idols, not necessarily the work they do for civilians. he liked the idea of being robin, not being a hero in general. which is why he never would have entered the hero community if jasons death hadn't provided and opening and an opportunity. his idolization of batman and robin isnt what i blame him for, but i do blame him for his persistence into bruce and dicks lives and the force he took robin with. not everyone has a core passion and need to help others as the center of their being, and that's alright, but i dont like when people act like tim is someone that does

[sneakyboymerlin]

this post is now burned into my mind

[its-not-lookin-good]

In lrb someone mentioned in their tags how DC wanted to kill off camp in the 80s. When you make Jason nothing but an angry, grumpy, brute instead of camp, you're letting DC win.
