Boy I sure wish all the magical implications of Jason's defeat of the Untitled/The rebirth of the All Caste had had actual plot relevance outside of this one issue.

Me:

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, BRUCE? JUST TWO ISSUES AGO, YOU WERE BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF JASON FOR SHOOTING - SHOOTING, NOT KILLING, NOT BREAKING YOUR RULE - PENGUIN WHO IS STILL ALIVE AND JUST ENDED UP IN A COMA, THEN BANISHED JASON FROM THE FAMILY, AND EXILED HIM FROM GOTHAM FOR SHOOTING PENGUIN AND NOW YOU WANT TO HUG HIM, NOW YOU WANT TO TREAT HIM LIKE A SON, NOW HE'S FAMILY?

FUCK YOU, BRUCE. YOU DON'T GET TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHEN SOMEONE IS FAMILY AND WHEN SOMEONE ISN'T. EITHER THEY'RE FAMILY FOR THEIR BAD MOMENTS AS WELL AS THEIR GOOD MOMENTS OR NOT AT ALL.

Red Hood: Outlaw #27 Spoilers

brb while I go cry in the batmobile ;(

So, the guy who went HAM when he found out Bruce hadn’t avenged his death isn’t going to do everything in his power to avenge his best friend?? Yeah, not likely.

Welp...I made myself sad again. Y’all will just have to suffer with me.

If that ridiculous Ghost!Roy rumor ends up being true, I’d imagine it being something more like this - a figment of Jason’s imagination trying to cope with where his life has ended up.

Excuse you, Lobdell’s version of Bruce. If you think a hug and some half baked, condescending words of reassurance are all it took to make everything you did in RHATO 25 okay, you’re sorely mistaken. Jason did wrong, but your excessively violent beating wasn’t his fault. This is exactly abusive parenting behavior. Beat your kid to a pulp, then do something nice for him and passively make it sound like he deserves the beating but you’ll forgive him anyway. Rinse, repeat. Oh, and did I mention he still wouldn’t let Jason return to Gotham, ever, like he had the rights, like he owned the whole city? Nope, still not my Bruce.

RHATO ISSUE #27 Rant!!

The issue was bland, but that’s not surprising to anyone at this point in the series. I still can’t comprehend where this plot is going, so at this point I’m following Lobdell down a rabbit hole.

The first panel Jason was clueless of Roy’s death. I really thought it was going to be repeat of Bruce not telling his family *cough* Dick *cough* telling them their loved one *cough* Jason* died. Okay I cleared my throat.

I was surprised that Bruce made an appearance in this issue, knowing that he beat Jason to a bloody pulp two issues prior. Also can we talk about the fact that when Jason saw him, he was expecting a fight because he’s just use to it at this point. It irked me when Bruce said, “Cobblepot didn’t die. Yet. So technically you didn’t break our deal.” Like he’s basically like “don’t worry about me beating you up because it was basically for nothing” like absolutely not.

I do give props to Bruce for telling Jason about Roy’s death though. Maybe he did learn something after all.

Now I was expecting an apology from Bruce because he kinda fucked up big time. But did we get that? No. Instead he goes on to tell Jason how he deserves to get his ass whoop when he steps out of line. Once again DC just sweeps Bruce’s actions under the rug without no real consequences. Jason just goes with it because he loves the poor bastard way too much that it’s easy for him to forgive Bruce.

Was it just me but when Bruce told Jason he didn’t hate him I didn’t believe him. I don’t know, but with the mix signals Bruce sends Jason makes it hard to believe anything he says. Words mean nothing when your actions speak louder.

The hug kinda made the whole thing in issue 25 pointless.

Jason calling Roy’s phone after he knows the truth was bittersweet. Roy was seriously his ride or die. Fuck! He was his damn family that loved him through everything! Why does DC hate my boy so much when he has so much greatness in him.

The rest of the issue was eh.
