(pretty sure there are 8 boroughs East End where Jason and the cast live, Gotham Heights, Burnley, New Town, Miller Harbor/The Docks, Coventry, The Narrows, where Steph reigns Burnside)
Convo between Jason and Artemis
WATCH WHAT HAPPENS
Artemis (internal monologue, written work, and talking to herself) (keep the actual words from the article)
"You're still our brothers, and we will fight for you."
“And the strike starts right damn now.”
USE JACK'S SPEECH VERBATIM
Oh shit Delanceys go for Dami/Les first
+Artemis kinda
Bruisers and cops show up, much fighting, Tim is arrested, realistically Artemis throws punches before someone shoos her away. Jason is going to do a lot of looking after Damian.
SANTA FE
Jason (internal monologue and talking to himself)
✨️trauma✨️
Restaurant mope and celebration
KING OF NEW YORK
Damian, Dick, Tim, Duke, Cass, Babs, Harper, Cullen, Wally, Roy
+Alfred +Artemis
Gotta be like a dance thing and/or wrestling match
LETTER FROM THE REFUGE
Tim (writing the letter so content and internal monologue maybe flashbacks but nothing aloud)
Jason painting at the theater, Selina’s advice, Dick, then Damian and Artemis, invade
Medda’s speech verbatim
KEEP RUNNING AWAY CONVO
'Jason stared at the paint can, wondering if downing it would kill him fast enough to escape this conversation'
“Yes, he did. And then he died.”
“Can we table the palaver and get back to business?”
WATCH WHAT HAPPENS REPRISE
Jason, Dick, Damian, Artemis
POOR GUYS HEAD IS SPINNING
“Thank you, God!”
“We’ve got faith, we’ve got the plan, and we’ve got Jay!”
“And I’ve got a date!”
BOTTOM LINE REPRISE
Sionis, Artemis, Hamilton Hill, Joker, Book Guy, Big Guy, Circe, Jason, Delanceys
Artie more angry than sad/afraid
Amp trauma/angst/fear
Artie was probably abused, will flinch at the loud bangs
Jason gets roughed up some
*slam* “WHAT GOOD WOULD QUIET DO ME?”
Use lots of Pulitzer’s lines
“Does anyone else feel a noose tightening?”
“Your abject surrender was always the bottom line.”
“Be glad you’re alive boy…”
“Lucky for them, all but one got away/they may not be so lucky tonight.”
BROOKLYNS HERE
Steph and gang
Meeting
Dick, Selina, Dami, NEWSIES
Six boroughs actually show up for the union meeting
Davey’s speech verbatim
“You wanna be talked to like an adult, start acting like one. Don’t just run your mouth, make some sense.”
Jason visibly struggling to get the words out.
Scene on the rooftop with Artemis.
She clocks him in the jaw… then kisses him
Also we need to address the threat against the other Newsies with regard to the Refuge, bc Artemis heard that
SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
Artemis and Jason
Printing Press scene
“Remind me to stay on your good side.”
ONCE AND FOR ALL
Jason, Dick, Damian, Artemis, Kon, Steph, Newsies
“We ain’t come this far to lose.”
Keep article.
“They think they’re running this town, but this town would shut down without us.”
Office Scene
Sionis, Circe, Book Guy, Jason, Big Guy, Dick, Steph, Hill, Bruce, Selina, Artemis
“We’re your loyal employees, we would never take our business elsewhere.”
Davey and Jack.
“Have a look out there, Mr. Sionis. In case you ain’t figured it out, we got you surrounded.”
Bruce’s vibe will be different from Teddy’s.
“I’m young, I ain’t stupid.”
IT’S A COMPROMISE WE CAN ALL LIVE WITH.
Appropriately edited finale. Maybe Artie inherits the paper? Improves for all workers
When i was drawing that weird alien jason drawing with my poor rookie art skills and you took my phone and drew that in the side after telling me never to draw again
I want the rogues and goons to be completely thrown about the arrival of Robin at first. Imagine running from the Bat and you come across this kid in an alley, dressed like a traffic light and very little and just staring at you. And they sort of pause like, what the hell is that thing? And of course, they harbour just a little bit of “aw he’s just a little kid” or “the fuck is wrong with Batman, bringing a kid into this?” before little Dickbin just breaks out into the worst devilish smile possible and fucking proceeds to rearrange their existence.
And it isn’t even just Dick. All the rogues and goons do a double take when they see a new Robin. With Jason, they kind of thought that Dick had somehow shrunk again back to that happy laughing kid only to get absolutely eviserated by a happy laughing kid with the thickest New Jersey accent and uncapped sass. After Jason dies, the few goons and rogues that know about Robin’s death, are fucking relieved when the Bat gets a new little birdie until this new little birdie fucking unpicks their plans in a matter of seconds even before the Bat even arrives and then proceeds to beat the shit out of them until. And at first the goons and rogues don’t even fight back that hard because they are partly glad because the Bat has mellowed out a little and Batman has already lost a Robin and is probably more protective than usual. Then Steph arrives on scene, dressed as Robin and the rogues are a little confused at first. Some goons prefer to get yelled at by their bosses rather than swing for her because, “I ain’t hitting a little girl, boss” and Steph takes absolute advantage of that hesitation. When Damian appears, the rogues and goons are a little more prepared, this Robin is going to be - IS THAT A FUCKING KATANA???
