God, there is absolutely no fucking hope for Harvey and Jason to further interact in canon because people (Tumblr) are so hellbent on focusing on the fact that Harvey killed Willis, and that bleeds out into twisted and, frankly, incorrect views of how they COULD work even inside the timeline where Harvey killed him.
And it's USUALLY in favour of Bruce, while conveniently ignoring the shit Bruce has done to Jason in canon (cherry-picking panels and bits of stories as usual to further whatever viewpoint they have) but I digress. Being pro-Harvey does not mean you are anti-Bruce, I PROMISE.
Yes, Harvey killed Willis. He did a bad thing. Oh, no... a villain did a bad thing? Wow. What!? Jason hated him for that? Duh.
He was a child who lost his dad. Of course he was mad. But Jason was just that, a CHILD. I don't think he had any clue about the skeevy shit his dad was doing, and future stories actually made Willis worse, and Jason more aware of this.
Still, yes, he wanted to beat the shit out of Harvey for it. Fair enough.
But people LOVE to bring this up and show those particular panels (from Batman #410 and #411), but they so conveniently forget to show the ending of that particular comic, where Jason's anger fizzles out and, because of Bruce's guidance, he ends up feeling SORRY for Harvey because Harvey is literally a mentally ill man who has not been treated and can't be because Gotham and Arkham is a shithole and no one wants to fucking help him EXCEPT BRUCE.
And Bruce helped Jason see that!
I'd show the panels right now but I'm so tired and I'm just running on vitriol for how hypocritical this specific side of the fandom can get, LOL.
Also, do these people just forget that... Task Force Z exists? You know, the whole ass run where Harvey and Jason work together and Harvey acts as a mentor figure to him essentially? Granted, TFZ's timeline is screwed up as hell and it's all over the place, but, hey, Harvey killing Willis was retconned at some point, but we can't bring that up because then that would ruin the anti-Harvey thing.
(Personally I always go by the Harvey killing Willis route because it makes their dynamic MORE interesting and complex and tense).
Also. That thing in Gotham War happened. You know, where Harvey literally defended Jason from Roman? Yeah, it was a short scene, but Harvey canonically - despite his past with Willis - sees something in him that he wants to protect. I could go into that but it's mostly looking at subtext and such and it's 6AM, so no. And I've spoken about it all before. Just check my masterpost or something, IDK.
DC is full of fucked up or weird dynamics, and they make for the most interesting stories. And when I say 'fucked up' or 'weird', I don't mean a total affront to God, but stuff like semi-abusive relationships, or relationships that have a sour past, or power imbalances etc. Bruce and Jason do not have (or, have not always had) a healthy relationship, and why should they? Bruce is also a traumatized man and Jason was full-on villain-mode before the New 52 changed all of that.
These characters are not real. I don't understand the vehement desire from some parts of this community to keep everything completely clean and happy and joyous. It's like... a fake performance of morality. Yes, happy endings and moments are great. Cathartic. And especially so in Gotham. But they are literally i n G o t h a m.
Also. I hate to say this because people on this site love to throw around words so much that their meaning erodes but. Ahem. The way some anti-Harvey, pro-Jason people talk about Harvey is kinda.
But whatever. These are just my inane ramblings.
