Batman #42

Bruce bringing Jason back to the warehouse he died at in order to try and trigger something that would have helped him get Damian back should have in my opinion really been the last straw for these two characters. I actually can't think of any way in which authors could legitimately pretendended that Bruce actually gave a shit about Jason after this point.

First off because Bruce never did that for Jason. As much as people might find excuses for it that is the truth. Jason died and Bruce didn't try and bring him back it didn't break him enough for him to break the bounds of literal life and death for him, but Damian dying did.

Second off, doing this to someone you claim you love is so violently fucked up that I don't know how you can pretend that Bruce still cares about Jason after this point. He purposefully tried to trigger him to have a mental breakdown at the place where he was killed for another child. He didn't even have the fucking decency to ask him, which Jason states he would have told Bruce whatever he knew. How do you even pretend that Jason means something to Bruce after Bruce pulls something like that?

Far from me to defend Bruce, but I find it so curious that he's the only one whose wrongs against Jason are considered in 95% of the time.

Tim and Alfred were also instrumental in the victim blaming campaign.

Like, I could see that Tim's victim blaming behavior isn't talked about because he isn't an adult, but there is another child character (even younger than Tim, btw) who isn't given that same grace a lot of the time, isn't there?

Now Alfred, there's really no excuse for him. He also knew Jason (which Tim didn't).

Obligatory disclaimer that I know that all of these characters were used as mouthpieces by DC, but I find it curious that Alfred and Tim were sanctified by the fandom where Jason is concerned 🤷‍♀️

Obligatory disclaimer 2 that yes, Bruce is the one who "owed" Jason more, and thus his failings might have more weight, but I still don't understand the (almost) complete absence of talk about Tim and Alfred slandering the dead child (except for the same 10 people here on Tumblr lol 🫣)

under the red hood is on occasion a desperately funny arc entirely because bruce, mere seconds after purposefully siccing a giant hyena on count vertigo to rip him to shreds, gets so mad at jason for objectively the most justified kill of his entire life. not only is it literally self defense because the person jason kills had not just previously tried to kill him but literally had hands around his throat attempting to kill him at that very moment, but the man actively murdering him that jason then kills in clear cut self defense is a straight up nazi!!! the least offensive "murder" anyone could ever do!!! and bruce decides then and there that this has gone on long enough and needs to be dealt with. because jason acted in cut and dry self defense and also took out a nazi while doing so. after bruce orchestrated a man getting mauled to death.

like, dc really went "ladies and gentlemen, our hero! he's angry someone killed a nazi who was in the middle of attempting to kill them, after he literally killed someone himself in a slightly more roundabout way! he's in the right in this situation, how dare you not dislike jason todd!"

I did not realize Jaysteph was such a popular pairing. It makes sense, they're better suited than Tim and Steph

The Wayne spectrum has two ends: Sugar baby or sugar daddy. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

One of the closest things to girl Jason in canon is Steph and we already know how she's been treated by writers, fans, and execs.

[agent-flame]

Actually love the theory that Jason purposefully didn’t dodge the batarang. Forcing you to kill me in front of you in order to change the trajectory of your life forever

[agent-flame]

Don’t listen to him Steph, I think it’s funny!

Bruce: “Has anybody here had any contact with Jason in the last five months?”

Steph, who has been exchanging rants about their favorite shows with him daily and is currenly typing a new one: “…No.”
