Yo, Bat-family comic loreheads. Has Jason ever been shown "whining" or otherwise talking to the Batfam about how he woke up buried alive in his grave?

Other than that time in Nightwing 1996 when he had his Nightwing suit and was in decent physical condition—was there a time when Dick had to dig his way out of his own grave? With his bare fingers? What was his physical and mental condition afterwards?

I'm sure it sucked, and he deserves compassion without his experience being compared to others—but was it so bad that he'd smugly mock Jason for selfishly whining about his own trivial experience?

An inquiring mind would like to know.

#Jason Todd #fandom salt #fandom discourse #The Jason-obsessed fandom has a special talent for butchering their own blorbos while trying to butcher Jason.#I guess in this way they truly are as canon-oriented as they claim.#Dick get behind me. I know u wouldn't do that. I'll protect u from the misunderstanders.#But IDK. This is why I love Jason never badmouthing Sheila.#''But if only they understood what really happened‚ then they'd stop blaming Jason!''#First of all. Mm IDK 'bout that. Jason had the chance of their lifetime. To save his mother. And he blew it. 🤷‍♀️#Second. Is that really so nice? For it to be necessary to trash talk the mother you love.#To reveal the humiliation that your own mother didn't want you‚ you weren't worthy of that easy love that all parents are supposed #to naturally have for their children? That you had for her and that you threw at her feet like the idiot you are.#-Trash child of trash parent. Trash can never know the value of precious things so don't waste time on them.-#Because nothing else would convince your family that you didn't bring violation and pain upon yourself?#They just. Believe you're a deserving fuck-up by default? Case closed.#It's much healthier for Jason to have that barest mite of self-respect instead of exposing his innards #to what could likely be... *critique*. Or more kindly: secondhand embarrassment.#Anyway. He should only talk to women about Sheila.#And he should talk about how Sheila untied him and held him gently for a little at the end.#(I'm suuuch a contrarian. Defender and liker of Sheila and Catalina!)#...Cheshire is the only one off the top of my head to have a potentially interesting response if she heard about Sheila.#Not because she's like her. Maybe because people think she's like her‚ or maybe she herself worries she's like her.
