#Bruce: *Realizing this is Jason's doing* No chum I think I'll get a ladder

[life-caretaker]

Working on personal logistics specifically pertaining to Batfam height stuff, so I have always liked the idea that Jason after coming back from the Lazarus pit would be taller than Bruce cause he would flaunt it (it would be funny).

But something a friend of mine pointed it is depending on the height he died at, and then throwing in the Pit at, he would have stretch marks. Which as a person who has stretch marks I think that would be awesome.

Research into Jason's height Pre pit shows that he died at 5'4"

As seen here when Dick accesses files from the cave, and sees that Jason is dead.

HT 5'4" or 162.10cm

Then he's thrown into the Lazurus pit after coming back from being Comatose. Something I hate about the Pit is we don't have solid rules implacable for what the pit does, does it give Jason that white streak in his hair..? No, he bleaches it in (future state: Dark Detective 2').

My favorite theory from PandaRed is that post-death scars (his autopsy scar) remain after the Lazarus Pit because wounds inflicted after death aren't affected, the Laurus Pit only heals wounds, and scars procured pre-death, so any wounds he would have sustained during the explosion, or when he was hit with the crowbar meaning he gets to come back looking all pretty, and unharmed except for his autopsy scar, and the white forelock.

But what would this mean height wise, it is never mentioned that Jason has Stretch marks. I don't know if it's ever mentioned for any of the other Batfamily members either considering that what you need to prevent stretch marks is lots of water, moisturizer, and nutrient-heavy foods this makes sense with their training regime.

But Jason died at the height of 5'4", and in the comics, Jason is said to be two inches shorter than Bruce who is 6'0" meaning his revival height is 5'9" which with all of the muscle he put on still doesn't negate the fact that he could have formed stretch marks.

The real question is would they stay..? Because if the fact that he was thrown in the pit and it is water adjacent and holds healing properties we would assume that he would be in the right moisturizing environment for them to not form through the league wouldn't feed him well so all of his time spent Comatose where he's gaining muscle would mean he would gain stretch marks post-death. So if we go with PandaRed's theory they would stay.

Another thing that I have never understood is the scene we get in the comics where Jason is pushed into the Lazarus pit, the frames show him going in as a kid, and coming out as a fully grown adult. I believe this is symbolic because he is comatose when he enters the pit, and when he comes out of it he comes out alive and thinking, in this sense he was trapped in a child like state of mind before the pit.

How ever if we take this as he was short before he was shoved in the pit this means he grew in the pit, and again stretch marks could be plausible if it weren't for the fact that he is submerged in water. The out would be curing all his malnutrition from when he was a child meaning his bones would grow at the proper rate of a nourished child.

I personally like to believe Jason Todd would be 6'5" two inches taller than Bruce (6'3" Arkham games referenced), he would keep his autopsy scar, and would have stretch marks because I personally have stretchmarks, and think some more representation in that department would be cool (This is my opinion you don't have to agree).

Thank you for taking the time to read over my rant.
