One thing that's bothering me a bit is how Jason is expected to swallow down his emotions regarding Two Face. I'm not good with words, but there's just something about how the killer of Bruce's parents got put away, the killer of Dick's parents got put away, but Jason still has to face his dad's killer every other week.
I started thinking about it because of these two panels. Bruce is (rightfully) chastizing Jason about not letting his anger control him, when Jason points out the hypocrisy of that. It's a fair point, considering Bruce just tried to kill the Joker a few issues ago due to a lost temper. This conversation seemed like a good opportunity to discuss their similarities, how Bruce deals with it, morality in general and etc.
But instead, Bruce just... deflects.
Later, they briefly talk about it in the cave. But it's framed more as Jason letting his pesky emotions about Two Face interrupt their crimefighting, rather than the complex grief that it is.
Not to mention that other than the confrontation when Jason discovered Bruce keeping his dad's death a secret, they really haven't talked about how Jason feels over his parents. We see it, like when Jason is crying in bed all day, but there's no real conversation, at least not that I've gotten to yet.
Maybe the writers just didn't care to mention it, since there weren't any thoughts or flashbacks about his parents when he got fear-gassed, nor the two times he nearly blew up, when B lost custody of him, when he got beat up by that mob--nothing. It just makes me sad.
