I don't like Willis Todd being an abusive father, because he didn't use to be (he wasn't for most of Jason's existence as a character) and I find it a bit classist how DC decided the father that wasn't abusive and had to turn to crime to feed his family and help his wife gets any type of relief from her sickness, needed to become abusive, while Thomas Wayne, who used to be portrayed not having a lot of patience for Bruce, neglecting him, hitting him or threatening to hit him, is portrayed as a good father.

Like, sure, they wrote Thomas like this because they didn't see anything wrong with it, but I don’t like how they are trying to clean his image as a father (if he does deals with criminals, it's another story), while the father that was poor af is now portrayed as an abusive father when NOTHING told us he was before. When Jason learned Willis died, he spent a whole day in bed grieving, he tried to avenge him, and Bruce comforted him.

Why do the rich man, who sometimes has done bad things to enrich himself more, must be a good father, but the poor man, who had to turn to crimes to feed his family, must be a bad father?

I want Jason to have two struggling and flawed parents that did their best for him, but it was not enough because they were doomed by the system. And Stephanie can have the abusive dad backstory, because it's literally why she became a vigilante.

When Jason first takes off his mask after coming back and walks the alley, the people of Park Row don't think of Jason Todd-Wayne, not even close. No, they take one look at that man- that kid, because he's so young, that's a fucking kid- and they go

Oh, that's Willis' boy. He's got the same chubby cheeks no matter the size of him, those big doe eyes and a smarmy grin. He's got Willis' nose. His pout. That's Catherine's baby, the one who helped Lisa count her food stamps after another hard night with an angry husband, who pushes the cart and holds the groceries and counts the change for his momma, who learns how to go alone long before he should have had to. He's the same little boy that believed in magic, who they had to hear Willis stress about every poker night, who always had some way to humble brag about him by the end of the night. ("He's a smart one, takes after me," He'll brag, before his eyes soften up to something a little more proud. "If anyone's gonna make a name for themselves, get the hell outta dodge and never look back? It'll be him." Let it be him, he always fell asleep thinking.)
