#i guess i just don’t like Jason pouring his heart out at the grand climax

Maybe I’m just too attached to comic, but i don’t buy Bruce’s speech at the end of the UtRH movie.
The whole speech about not being able to come back from it if he killed joker, he’s too calm and controlled, it sounds rehearsed to me. I could picture him saying that weeks early but not in that moment.
I vastly prefer the overwhelming emotion shutting down any sensible debate like it goes in the comic: The face of his dead son is in front of him demanding he break his vows and kill his worst enemy. Throwing all his Worst trauma in his face, After weeks of Bruce losing control of the very city those vows are meant to protect, after being forced into a vicious fight with said dead son. This isn’t the time for Making a Case for Restraint, this is the time for freaking the fuck out and throwing a batarang without thinking it through. This is the time for Batman’s iron will to crack.
#i don’t know#i guess i just don’t like Jason pouring his heart out at the grand climax#and Bruce is so unaffected#it strikes me as part of the increasing de-powering of Jason#‘oh batman was actually in control’#No he wasn’t#jason pushed him to the brink#And he didn’t know what to do#There was no rationale in the end#Most the things we desperately cling to in order to survive#jason todd#red hood#dc#bruce wayne#batman#utrh
