Saw a post somewhere about Jason being called little wing by Dick. And one of the comments mentioned how pre crisis Jason was almost adopted by Dick. And then another person asked the million dollar question: what would have been the result of the vote had Dick adopted Jason instead?
Well if I'm being honest, I don't think there would have been a vote at all. The reason the whole debacle happened was because they needed something for shock value. And the reason Jason was voted to die was because he was compared to Dick. He was seen as a bad replacement (kind of ironic ngl) and they didn't want to see him in comics anymore.
If Jason had been adopted by Dick though? Totally different situation. For one, if Jason became Robin then it would have been more endearing for readers. The new father Dick passes the mantle of Robin to his son. It wouldn't be a replacement that followed the firing of Robin (which was unfair of Bruce to do but conversation for another day). It would have been a natural continuation and people would have been more open to the change. Also I'm pretty sure that pre crisis Jason Todd was quite literally a discount Dick with even similar backstory. But that was because he was centered around giving Batman a new Robin.
If Jason was introduced in a Batman/Nightwing crossover and then jumped to the Nightwing and Titans runs it would have been so interesting and no one would bat an eye.
Anyway, just my opinion.
(Honestly, more people should explore the idea in fanfiction... Again, things to think about)
