Ooooo!

One of the comics showed Jason's body had rotted on its way to Gotham, which made me realize it probably wasnt just laying there all pristine-ish in the months he was dead. Which leads to several interesting questions

1: How much decay wouldve been too much for sudden resurrection? Is there a limit? Could he have come back if he had gotten cremated

2: How much did resurrection heal

3: If he'd been rotting during the months before coming back, how much blood and liquids and rot seeped into casket, did it stay there? Was he trapped in there smelling his own rot, surrounded by his own decay, as he tried desperately to claw his way out?

3 1/2: Or did the evidence of decay disappear, as if never there. I guess all this depends on how exactly he was brought back and how that worked

4: Search engines won't answer my questions on how long it takes for bugs n maggots to get into caskets. So if he was already rotting do you think any possibly got inside before burial, do morticians have anything to kill off all bugs and eggs in a decayed body or no. Seach engines still won't answer me

#1: i figured thatd be the case! but coundnt be too sure as im still getting through the comics. its very interesting to think about!#2: its very very fascinating to me what injuries were healed and what stayed. i wish we had something more thorough #but based on your description it seems he was mostly healed. makes it strange there was any injuries left then. ah a grand mystery #3: i have no googled it. soap mummies and corpse wax are very fascinating! o have never heard of that before. i dont have time to do proper #research into it rn. and i am classically Bad at search engines! i cant find anything on it being an intentional method #though sealed caskets and wet soil can cause it. so it seems possible. depends on the time of it. a full soap mummy seems wrong though #id love to hear more on the subject! maybe i should look into it more properly later #3.5: i was going with the assumption that his rot was not much considered for coloring. though i will concede now that a body attended to as #much as possible as jasons was may not rot in the less than a year it was apparently there (still haven't gotten to that part in comics yet)#but considering the decay of his body i really hadnt even considered the possibility it could just be. like. stopped at that point #4: i was actually thinking more along the lines of bugs getting through any cracks rather than getting through the wood #though i did find some things about seals stopping that!#again very interesting to know very actively rotting can be slowed like that. i underestimated the power of formaldehyde #ive been imagining that autopsy was done in ethopia before transport #the magic of formaldehyde #this has been fun to read and learn! i will have to look into this further when possible #shame my horror dreams of jason waking surrounded by rot and bugs wont happen. alas!#the morticians win this round
