genuinely curious in comics (haven't gotten to jason as robin yet) why on earth is the narrative that jason as robin wasn't good enough, was an idiot and got himself killed because he didnt listen? i know the sheila was alive when bruce came so did she NOT tell him how she sold him out or did she tell him but bruce hid that knowledge?? im like so confused on why tf he'd allow that crap to be said about HIS SON?? i feel like im gonna get into reading jason comics and rip my hair out over every person that knew him being cunts to him and sucking ass AUGFHGHF

Short answer: disgusting classist stereotypes that have unfortunately plagued Jason for decades. The idea that only because he was a displaced child that was failed by the system, he would have become a criminal had Bruce not “saved” him by taking him in and making him Robin. This was proven as false more than once by showing that in alternate universes where Jason wasn’t taken in by Bruce, he was much better off (famously like in flashpoint timeline where he became a priest).

Long answer:

Okay this is gonna be LONG but let’s start at the scene of the crime: Batman #428

Misconception #1: Jason was an incompetent Robin.

No.

Misconception nr 2: he was violent, impulsive and hot-headed

No. He literally let his father’s killer walk away, he literally stopped Bruce from killing the joker during their last encounter with him before ditf.

Detective comics #570

Jason was a traumatised child that was displaying effects of emotional distress/neglect. His emotional needs were not met and were severely underestimated by Bruce. That’s what lead him to seek out his birth mother in the first place, he was just a traumatised child looking desperately for any emotional anchor that he could feel safe with. That’s also the reason why he was “acting out”, disobeying orders, making risks, which lead to Bruce benching him and taking away the emotional anchor they had (Robin). Jason felt safe in his connection to Bruce when he was Robin because Batman needed a Robin and couldn’t abandon Jason if he was Robin. Now that there’s a real chance it would be taken away, what’s stopping Bruce from throwing him out like he did Dick*? Jason had nowhere else to go. He didn’t have a superhero team like the other robins, he didn’t have anything tangible outside of Batman, really.

*Thats unfortunately the canon we have to deal with post crisis instead of the REASONABLE version of Dick growing out of Robin and passing on the mantle willingly THAT LITERALLY MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE IM GONNA KMS

A lot of the tragedies surrounding Bruce Wayne are in their core caused by miscommunication and misunderstandings.

Now to Bruce’s last conversation with Sheila. from her words alone you couldn’t really discern that she was the one that lied to Jason and lead him to the warehouse where the joker was waiting to beat him up and had a direct hand in Jason’s death.

I’ve been looking for a couple days for the very first instance of someone using that rhetoric for Jason but I couldn’t find it. It’s usually Alfred or Tim that are most likely to say something like “Jason got himself killed”. Tim in his very… charming… way to proclaim that he’s better than Jason in every way and that Bruce shouldn’t worry about him “getting himself killed” like Jason and Alfred in his very… Alfred… way to try to absolve Bruce of blame in Jason’s death by saying he would have died anyways and there was nothing they could do… as you see Jason is not exactly the best treated character both in and out of universe.

The most memorable instance of someone fully protesting smth like that being said about Jason and fully raging about it was this, when Dick damn near beat Daniel Chase cause he said “we knew this job was dangerous” the literal minute after dick found out Jason died. I mean. Time and place😭

The new titans vol 1 #55

But heres a few instances of Bruce talking about Jason because despite all of this “Jason was angry and rash” bullshit, the first and only person Bruce blames for Jason’s death is himself and nobody else.

As someone who collects comics, a consistent release schedule helps significantly with sales, making consumers more likely to buy the product as its fresh and new in their minds and they haven’t lost interest in the comic run. Each issue release is making Ninjago bleed money. My guess is they absolutely intend to cancel the run quietly and not release a statement.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS GOOFY ASS RELEASE SCHEDULE ??? WSHAT THE FUCKNG FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCK ??? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK ??? WHAT ? THE FUCK ??? ONE ISSUE THIS YEAR AND THE REST NEXT YEAR ?? THIS HAS GOTTA BE SOME INDEX OR CATALOGUE ERROR OR SOMETHING
