ok isn't batman a protector. isn't a big part of his whole thing the preciousness of life. and isn't robin (all of them, but THE FIRST ONE esp) an extension of the things bruce believes? they're a team. and haven't they dealt with people who are in crisis thousands of times. AND WASNT DICK GRAYSON A COP.

THEN EXPLAIN TO ME THE TITANS SCENE WITH JASON ON THE ROOFTOP

#ok it's different cuz it's jason and ig you could argue that. idk maybe dick had some plan if jason....#ok no actually that's bullshit dick isn't suited up he has nothing on him #he lets it get to the point where jason takes a step forward. and he's just like '.... jason'#dick doesn't comfort him at all he just takes the blame instead #which is something. but i expect dick grayson to handle things a BIT better than that #the whole thing with the team accusing jason was lazy and stupid tbh. and the rooftop thing felt like it was for shock value #which is IRRESPONSIBLE WRITING #not to get Too on a high horse but i imagine the demographic watching this show is many and varied but #a large portion has got to be depressed nerds and/or loners #ah i'm probably projecting. i just don't like seeing suicide used as a plot device in a lazy way #on an irresponsible note of my own. if this is causing jason to be suicidal he is notttt cut out to be robin #also it doesn't really make sense 2 me. that's just not the jason todd i know #kid's tough as fuck and has an axe to grind #not to say that. people who commit s. are w. agh whatever #anyways i'm disappointed AS ALWAYS in how writers have batman/batman adjacent characters handle suicide
