despite it never explicitly being said i’ve never assumed anything but jason’s destination being wayne manor when we see him limping on the road, immediately after digging out of his grave. he screams for batman as he bangs on the wood of his casket. he’s crying. when an animal is scared, it goes home. he walks 12 and 1/2 miles. approximately 3 hours, maybe even more taking in to consideration his injuries. the paramedic tells derek brantley and his girlfriend that if they had gotten there minutes later, jason would’ve been dead. jason nearly dies trying to get home. derek and his girlfriend deny him his homecoming, but in the same process they also save his life

#okay wait. i have so many thoughts on this that are probably filled with holes and mistakes and yadda yadda but it’s in my brain atm and #i need 2 GET IT OUT.#so srry if this makes no sense to you it makes sense to my sleep deprived brain #OKAY SO. derek and his girlfriend intercepting jason’s homecoming further cements how jason can never go home #this interception forever interlinks the failure of homecoming with life. to go home or to seek home means to die #‘‘home’’ in jason’s case means the people that make up a loving household #SO if going home or seeking home means to die then jason can never (attempt to) go home without death following soon after #so. if jason lives after the FAILURE of homecoming does the ACCOMPLISHMENT of homecoming finally mean the permanence of his death (?)#also. in the same way jason relives his death (warehouse vs. utrh final confrontation)#he is also forced to relive his resurrection (digging out of his grave and limping home vs.#holding a hand to his neck as he staggers to the closest thing he *can* call home)#UGH. i don’t know whatever i’ll delete this later if i’m embarrassed about it #mine
