The thing that hurts the most is that I know Jason’s going to forgive him.
Everybody pins Jason Todd/Red Hood as the “Bad Boy” in the Batfamily. It’s such a wrong title for him I can’t stand the association.
A “Bad Boy” doesn’t forgive his father when he thought he’d replaced him. A “Bad Boy” doesn’t take others under his wing to keep them safe when everyone else has turned their backs on them. A “Bad Boy” doesn’t show unyielding loyalty to those who are ashamed to call him family. A “Bad Boy” doesn’t sit and have breakfast with his little brother out in the open, keeping up small-talk. A “Bad Boy” doesn’t bleed forgiveness, love, and pain the way Jason Todd does.
Jason Todd is by far the most emotionally vulnerable of his brothers. He longs for acceptance, love, family. All he wants is to be welcomed–to feel cared for by the ones he loves the most.
And if that means he has to forgive them for whatever shit they pull on him, he’ll do it. Every. Single. Time, unfailingly.
Because he wants his family. He wants Alfred, Bruce, Dick, Tim, Damian, Cass, and Duke.
Jason Todd is one of the most compassionate, loving, kind people in DC. Yeah he kills, but he dos that for the betterment of others. If he kills a rapist, that’s one little boy/girl that won’t get raped. If he kills a murderer that’s someone’s kid that won’t die.
This issue broke my heart. All the hope I had for Bruce making up with Jason completely shattered.
