i was expecting bruce to take absolutely zero accountability for anything he did as zur so i'm choosing to find the silver lining in having him refer to the stupid fear chip thing as "what i did to you" and the way he's taking responsibility for the wrong he did to jason and not worm out and actually try to own it and potentially make amends (even tho i know what they're gearing up for is to have jason absolve him* without any real work involved on bruce's part)
*which isn't necessarily out of character for jason, he's a shockingly and verifiably incredibly forgiving person, considering that he's never publicly disparaged sheila for literally murdering him and still holds affection for willis and catherine in spite of their mistakes to the point where he was deeply upset about willis being killed and out loud said he forgave bruce for not saving him (not that he never blamed him, specifically that he forgave him, which implies both bruce's culpability and jason's own internal work to give him absolution which i wish more people remembered) and in general still has a relationship with half the fuckers in his family in spite of shit they've pulled. i just wish it was actually treated as a character trait, that jason is forgiving and goodhearted to the point where he lets things slide that he shouldn't so long as it only concerns himself and not others (cuz he's fundamentally selfless yes i will die on this hill) and not the writers never acknowledging that he's the fucking victim and that people deserve to be taken to task for stuff they do and that not everything bad that happens to him is his own fucking fault i hate dc.
#personal#dc comics#batman#jason todd#ok i'm done comics posting now i have to take a final exam on the middle ages#but man i don't even wanna hope that i'm wrong and bruce is gonna get an arc to work for forgiveness#and maybe be the one putting in the effort to try and fix/remove the chip as atonement for HIS crime#because i just know i'm not gonna get it#the chip is gonna be fixed with some deus ex machina and jason is gonna tell bruce 'it wasn't really you'#and bing bang boom bruce is removed from responsibility and we can return to the same circular fucking bullshit dance#that we've been dancing for nearly a fucking DECADE at this point with that godawful rhato issue i refuse to consider canon#can these characters and their relationships please just get a chance to fucking grow#and like permanently evolve and change and adapt based on what they go through and their flaws#can bruce be allowed to take responsibility for the things he does to his family and work to atone#and have that alter how he treats them in the future#FOR FUCKING ONCE
