The ones who were forgotten and yet refused to be forgotten.. like poltergeists haunting a mythos and refusing to be shoved permanently under the floorboards.. i was here i existed i demand some control over my story that ended years ago i refuse to go down without a fight i once had a name though it was never quite mine but nonetheless i deserve rememberance and honor.. THINKING

That is so beautiful! How could you not tag that! My mind is doing dances right now. But honestly it always boggled my mind that Jason does mention Barbara but then leaves the question open if he ever actually interacted with her because like if he had wouldn’t he had seen that she still made a life for herself and was able to continue to make a life for herself? His hurt is with Bruce but like wouldn’t that hurt also had been a bit with her? That feeling of abandonment and then seeing somebody else thriving and your death not eating up at them even when you both suffered at the hands of the same clown. And on the other side and speaking of said clown, like Jason died a hero and was trying to save his mother while Barbara was just hanging out with her father which is something that she speaks about with a therapist in a Suicide Squad issue. But like the idea that she thinks of all these scenarios where it was her fault for opening the door and etc while being told that none of it is ONLY for Jason’s death to be seen as reckless when nobody knows what he was doing or who he was trying to save.

this is why i really hate that under the red hood takes place in the wake of war games like i know the point was to isolate bruce and make it to where it was no one but him and jason but i think that sucks ass i think everyone should have been there and the blowback and repercussions should have been felt everywhere and that it should have been something that was tackled with at least some semblance of a family unit or if not that then at least with bruce and barbara bc they were the ones who were there when it all happened
