I'm just gonna share a random thought I just had. I don't like not being able to share context here, but I have to force myself to focus here. So...you know how the Riddler, the Scarecrow and the Mad Hatter are referred to as the Dork Squad? Well, I think there should be a group known as the knock-off dork squad. Using a thesaurus offline....I think Nerd Band would be a great name for this group. Who is this group I want to call the Nerd Band? Simple. The Bookworm, Ragdoll and Music Meister. Great villains who i bet are derided as cheap rip-offs of Riddler, Scarecrow and the Mad Hatter. So i seriously want to have a story about these three, trying desperately to make legitimate names for themselves as crooks in Gotham. I'd love that story a lot.

Bookworm from memory.

I still haven’t watched any episodes with him.

Don’t pay attention to the intruding doodle of the Mask.

A head canon I have for Jason is that his favorite rogue is Bookworm. Bookworm was really only ever in the 60’s show so he’s never canonically fought Jason to my knowledge but he’s basically the Riddler but for books instead of riddles. Any time Bookworm and Jason fight it basically devolves into book club so just like

I’m imagining Jason goes for his first battle with Bookworm as Red Hood and his comms cut out mid fight so Dick and Bruce run in for backup

And they kick down the door to try and free Jason

Only to see Jason and Bookworm sitting on the floor, drinking wine, and talking about the subtextual queer coding in Jane Eyre

yeah and he 100% gives him the same kind of treatment the bats give harley (in my head). knows he's harmless and will only act out if provoked, so he gives him the benefit of the doubt + trusts him to live freely 97% of the time. (he was also single-handedly the person who protested against him being put in arkham asylum for the rest of his life)

he genuinely meets up with bookworm over coffee, although partially to check in on him and make sure he's not going to begin a 100+ murder rampage again, he's also just having a chat with a friend about the book he recommended to him last time he had to hunt him down... and the political state of the world.

when he does find himself locked up, whether that be in a ward or arkham, although jason doesn't always visit (business and all) he always makes sure the facilities can provide him with something suitable to read.

news gets out to the bats about bookworm having a breakdown and going off the radar, and jason's more insistent than he's ever been when he says he's going after him alone. he truly believes he isn't evil by nature, and knows that all it takes to bring him down is a familiar face and a well-read intellectual conversation.

naturally when jason's out of reach and bruce + dick are tasked with stopping bookworm, they think it's going to be a piece of cake considering what they know about jason's history with catching him. but god are they so wrong. they get him in the end of course, but really have to take a second and ask themselves how the fuck jason not only enjoys working bookworm shifts, but has completely TAMED a rogue like that.
