Talia slays no matter what she wears (figuratively and literally)

Commission Info / Kofi (members get comics a week early)

I like the idea of Jason (Robin era) trying to quit smoking and just staring at Bullock's cigar like a starving wolf.

Bullock: Can I HELP you

Jason: No.

Jason: You need to quit smoking.

Trying new brushes really changes lives man 😭

Bruce Wayne forgetting what his son’s looked like.

Thinking a lot about Bruce's fervent desire for Jason to settle down with a wife and kids the way he doesn't feel he never can and how that impacts Jason's queer coding. Like of all Bruce's kids Jason is the one he most wants to have that traditional domestic life. That's his dream for Jason. A thing Jason has literally never once showed interest in!! Yes Jason is fond of kids and prone to taking them in but the white picket fence life with a wife and biological children? Never something we really see him shoot for. Because its NOT what he wants. He doesn't want to bring kids into this life, he only takes in kids who are already involved. His one mainline civilian girlfriend had to pursue him and then they broke up because she got possessed by his ex a week later. Jason has no civilian identity and hasn't expressed a desire for one. Bruce literally lobotomized him so he could go live the life Bruce chose not to pursue and keeps making the choice to not pursue. Bruce thinks there is only one way for himself (and therefore also Jason) to be truly happy but he won't give up Batman because he perceives Batman as valuable and necessary but he barely sees Jason as a person so he has no qualms about enforcing his perception of what would make Jason happy (based on precisely zero evidence) to the degree of denying Jason personal choice and autonomy. The only version of Jason he loves totally and unconditionally is the made up trad husband version in his head that looks suspiciously like Bruce's own almost-happily ever after if HE hadn't sabotaged his relationship with Talia for the sake of Batman.

Tim Seeley's Robins series was ass but one thing I think about all the time is Bruce's like dream sequence of what all the kids would be doing if they never met him and Jason is still a criminal. Like he's living a successful life and has a charity named after Catherine and he has no real reason to still be doing crime, Bruce just can't imagine Jason becoming a good person without Bruce's interference. Jason, who told him explicitly he only stole because he had to. Jason who was ready to stop a heist by himself when he thought Bruce wouldn't believe him. Jason, who was first handed a gun by Bruce himself.

Bruce truly believes the only two options for Jason are violent criminal or living the American Dream. There is no in between to him. He has no concept of nuance when it comes to Jason its crazy.

yeah so i covered up my son's death because it would have inconvenienced me...yeah by doing this i basically ruined all chances of someone pursuing justice for him legally...yeah im rich as hell and could have definitely not done this and instead gotten the murderer convicted. yeah no i covered it up instead. anyway so my son is back now :/ and he wants to kill the guy who murdered him but that's like really immature... well what do i expect him to do? what?? why are you even asking this :| obviously he should be fine with the guy breaking out of arkham on a routine basis :/ hell, he should get justice through legal means! doesn't he know only i can dictate when it's moral to break the law?

Not to keep reanimating the discourse but like. "Jason wouldn't have been in danger at all if he listened to Bruce" is such an insane take. It makes the mistake that majority of these takes seem to, which is ignoring Sheila. Sheila, who had a gun pointed at Jason as soon as he stepped through the warehouse door. Implying that it was on or very near her person the whole time. Sheila could have shot him at any time. He was at the mercy of a stranger and her kindness the minute Bruce, Jason's legal guardian and the World's Greatest Detective, left him alone with her. He was never safe. He was always at risk of harm or death.

It also ignores that *Jason didn't know Joker was in the warehouse*. Sheila specifically said that he left and told him to follow her. As far as Jason knows, The Joker could be ANYWHERE at this point. He has no reason to believe that he's inherently safer staying where he is. In fact, if the Joker were lurking around monitoring Sheila to make sure she's doing his bidding, discussing the situation out in the open would have been a bad idea!

Jasons fatal flaw was not recklessness or anger or some deep seeded evil - it was trust. He trusted his mom. His mom told him to follow her somewhere safe to discuss the situation and he did. Because he trusted his mom. Because Bruce left him alone with her. Like I'm sorry you can't even argue stranger danger because 1. It's His MOM and 2. It would still be more Bruce's fault than Jason's because whose the adult legally responsible for this child he is leaving unattended with a stranger??? If Jason is at fault for his death for trusting his mom, Bruce is EXTRA at fault.

oh nooo they're sanding off this deconstructive character's edges and over-simplifying his motivations in ways that feed into classist stereotypes

Batfam where everything is what you typically come across except instead of Jason calling Tim 'pretender' or 'replacement' he just calls him a larper

Putting the albatross around his neck onto his back

[fuzzy-oooze]

There's this really obscure forgotten DC hero named the Heckler, who's basically buggs bunny as a superhero, not having any powers or physically strong, but just really good at pissing people off until they accidentally deal with themselves.

Now they're interesting, but the REAL star of the show is one of his villains, John Doe the Generic Man, who's this guy in a stark white suit with flat pink unshaded, untextured skin with no features or anything who talks like chatGPT and has black text over his face that explains what he's feeling at the moment. That guy is fucking fascinating.
