GET. OUT.

"Jason saw being Robin as a game."

WHAT THE F*CK??

GOOD GOSH WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE WAY BRUCE IS WRITTEN??

HE WOULD NEVER SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

GOSH.

first of all... NO. Jason never saw Robin as a game. He loved being Robin. He loved helping. He loved making a difference. It wasn't a game to him. It was his identity.

If anything, the only time he saw something in his Robin career a 'game' was after the Felipe Garzonas situation and in that moment it wasn't Robin Jason saw as a game.... it was his life.

But Robin?? JASON NEVER SAW ROBIN AS A GAME!

AUGH

And what's worse is Bruce clearly knew what aspect Jason saw a game (his life) and YET in the panel above, he says that Jason saw Robin as a game.

GOOD GOSH

This all the more proves my theory that none of the DC writers who write/mention about Jason has ever touched a Jaybin comic in their life.

AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE LAST PART OF THAT QUOTE

"It's probably what got him killed"

ARE WE FREAKING SERIOUS RN!??!?!

SERIOUSLY!!?

VICTIM BLAMING JASON FOR A DEATH THAT WAS OUT OF HIS HANDS?!!

THAT POOR CHILD DIDNT KNOW THAT THE JOKER WAS THERE. HE LEFT BC HE WANTED TO SAVE HIS MOM.

HE LEFT BC HE WAS ROBIN AND IT WAS HIS RESPONSIBILTITY TO DO GOOD AND BE THERE FOR PEOPLE. HE LEFT BC HE CARED ABOUT A WOMAN HE JUST MET--BC THAT IS WHO JASON IS.

CARING.

KIND.

EMOTIONAL.

SELFLESS.

HELL IF YOU DONT THINK HE'S SELFLESS THEN LOOK AT THESE PANELS:

THAT POOR BOY WAS READY TO DIE. HE TOLD HIS MOM TO RUN. HE DIDNT CARE THAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE AT THAT MOMENT ALL THAT HE CARED ABOUT WAS MAKING SURE THAT SHEILA (THE WOMAN THAT BETRAYED HIM) MADE IT OUT ALIVE.

and sure, you might argue that Bruce didn't really know why Jason left. But STILL. that is NO excuse for victim blaming Jason when it was clearly the Joker that killed him.

GOOD GOSH THESE COMICS AND THE WAY THE TREAT JASON MAKE ME SO MAD SDKUDF

Dug through the posts for a bit and you can see how much Bruce loved his son, really:

Maybe Jason's character is not the only one asssasinated in the long run. Maybe Bruce's thoughts in the later issues are truly the way Bruce Wayne processes Jason's death, which is all kinds of despicable and sad.

But... it would make the man so much more complex than he already is. If the man/the father blamed a victim/the son for his own death... for leaving him all alone to mourn the loss of something that he truly treasured...

It's selfish.

And that doesn't make it okay. It's the worst kind of trash, actually. But this would make a great point for Bruce to seek actual help, which he never will under the direction of the comic's bad writing.

Because it's a massive East Coast city but the property values are probably like $200 a month for a three bedroom apartment, and most Gothamites are like, "Hey, Bane never swore to break my back."

And here's the thing: you're not just moving out of Gotham City. You're moving into the rest of the DC universe. And it has hero-based power scaling.

Oh, Metropolis looks fucking great. But it gets invaded by aliens and robots and demigods, because Superman is there.

Wonder Woman's tangling with gods.

You go to Central City, and some Reverse-Flash motherfucker runs backwards from an alternate future and kicks your balls off at the speed of light.

You could move to the West Coast, and oh, an entire city just gets exploded by Cyborg Superman or some shit.

How about you move to Indianapolis, or Cleveland? Haha, no. They have no protector during the alien invasions, and you're in Cleveland

So stay in Gotham. Sure, you have lunatics, but you know that if you had a gun, you at least have a chance against the Joker or Riddler. Mongo of War-World would crush you. But Gotham just has creeps, and you know you have a chance. Even Bane, R'as Al-Ghul, Killer Croc, and Mr. Freeze are just slightly altered dudes. Oh no, Poison Ivy is going to kiss me to death! Who gives a shit, you kinda wanted to go out that way anyway.

I think it's all about perception. Gotham City has crime. But when Ares sends his undying legions to march upon the mortal realm and Wonder Woman has to punch all of them, people don't internalize that as "crime." That's "a crisis" or "a religious event" or at best, terrorism. Same thing when Superman has to stop Brainiac from shrinking Metropolis or whatever. That stuff is objectively more dangerous but it's on such a huge scale that "crime" is not the word for it. The cops don't involve themselves in this at any point. But the stuff Batman deals with is like, robberies, assaults, gang wars, serial killings. All his villains commit actual crimes, so they go into police reports, which end up as statistics. So when someone compiles all this data, oh look, Gotham City has the highest crime rate in the country, yet again. Forget the fact that 10% of Keystone City's population had their skulls crushed by invading superintelligent gorillas. Who cares that a random guy in Opal City accidentally teleported the entire state to Hell after he found out the hard way that he was born a wizard. Those are not crimes. There's nothing in the police recordkeeping app's drop-down menu for a Gorilla invasion. Closest thing we've got is Random Chimp Event.

I actually love drawing them!! <3

Found this weird fish.
