Dick gave Robin to Jason

Ok so I was reading up on some of Jason Todd’s original origins (I couldn’t remember a specific detail) and it was all stuff I was very familiar with

Until I got to Batman 1940 issue #368

Where we see Jason Todd wearing not the classic Robin uniform but this

Which first of all

He had pants

And second of all what those two are doing in this panel is discussing what new name Batman’s partner should have instead of Robin. Because when Jason first shows up as Robin in Batman 1940 issue #366, it wasn’t Bruce’s decision

Bruce is surprised to see him (mostly because at first glance he thinks Jason is Dick but I digress)

and more than that he actually gets upset that Jason put the costume on in the first place. Because it wasn’t his to take

Bruce proceeds to explain that he refuses to allow Jason to steal Dick’s identity because Robin belongs to him

Hence the need for a new identity

It’s in the middle of them discussing this that Dick shows up with a box in hand, asking Jason how he’s doing and starts talking about how he felt when he first became Batman’s partner. He then tells them he saw Vicki Vale’s photo of “Batman and Robin” stopping the Joker

Jason immediately apologizes, saying that it was never his intention to try and steal Dick’s identity. But it’s Dick that stops him and tells him that it’s ok because he’s no longer Batman’s partner and that he’s done trying to be like Batman

He talks about how he’s the leader of the Titans and that it’s time his name reflected the fact he was no longer Batman’s partner

It’s then he finally opens the box that he came in with to reveal the Robin uniform

He proceeds to then give it to Jason and more than that tells Jason that he deserves to be Robin and that he explicitly gives Jason permission to use his identity

He then leaves saying he has to get back to the Titans and that he has to figure out what he wants to be next

but not before calling Jason “Robin”

There was no big betrayal or fight, nothing was stolen(permanently anyway).

Dick gave Robin to Jason and then left on peaceful terms

Now obviously this version of the story has been long since retconned and rebooted a dozen times over, but I still found the fact that Dick had originally given the Robin mantle to Jason very interesting

I’ve heard people say ska is annoying or weird and I can perhaps understand and appreciate that not everyone has the same taste in music or can help the things they find irritating.

Personally, I think it is some of the greatest music in the world. Take it as an exaggeration or as my wholehearted view on the matter, it’s probably both.

As far as the music itself, it combines the cathartic expression for views on politics, small towns, anarchy, and all the things that unite people of all backgrounds in a pit. Combine that release of emotion with the rhythms of reggae and skas island origins, rhythms that tap into some primordial part of your system that relaxes you into a hypnotic sway to a familiar beat. If you weren’t a dancer before you are now shocked at your body’s ability to dance a solid two step.

What I’m saying is with ska it is scientifically possible to dance away the depression and aggression. This listener will never turn a blind eye to music that makes my hips move and curses the current state of the world.

Then you have the people it attracts, like the older guys in shorts, flip flops tattoos with a beer in the back of the room bobbing their heads up and down to the riddims of their youth and the soundtracks they’ve lived their lives to. You have the the ska fashionistas. There is the zoot suiters, the riot girls in mod skirts, piercings, and blunt bangs, the skinny tie fedora crowd, the folks that just came from their day jobs and look like every day unsuspecting skankers. Punkers of all ages, and some little punks starting out their vests and finding their final evolution. This pit of people will shove you, elbow you, man handle you, and will pick you up if you fall, dance with you, sing your favorite lyrics so hard you end up with a shot voice that makes everyone obnoxiously go “Someone had a good time last night.” It’s like fuck off, but yes I did thanks for asking.

Ska hold some of my favorite memories.

The first time I played pro skater and NEEDED to know the entire soundtrack and base my personality off if it. Being slightly bummed by the realization that I wasn’t even riding the 3rd wave of ska but more like its last ripples.

The time I listed to mighty mighty bosstones (rip) in my headphones while I rode the swings at the county fair as the sun was setting. The combination of posicore lyrics and Birds Eye view of the small town I needed escaping from altering my brain forever.

The time I got punched really hard at Warped Tour skanking my little heart out in a bikini top, the shortest shorts I could find and my favorite vans. A first nose bleed in a pit with street light manifestos horns going off in the background was a bittersweet accomplishment.

Finding such humor or joy in the lyrics of some of the silliest songs when I couldn’t find it in other places. Especially when I needed that joy to just get out of bed that day or to make my life tolerable for 2:15 seconds more.

Anyways, more ska in the world, please. ❤️
