Lying Retcons about what Jason was like as Robin:
Jason HATED criminals and has NO empathy for them and beats the shit out of all of them and doesnât think theyâre human. He doesnât believe they can change, even simple thieves, despite the fact heâs a former thief so this makes no sense. Batman will have to point that hypocrisy out to him because Jasonâs stupid I guess.
Actual Post crisis Robin Jason comics:
Detective Comics #571
Barman Annual #11
(Noticeably, Bruce is the one who argues criminals can't change here. He does change his mind at the end of the issue though)
Detective Comics #581
(I actually don't know if any other batkid has ever expressed that they feel sorry for one of their parents killers? Bruce does it in some versions of the 'meets Joe Chill again' stories, so Jason might be the only batkid who has that specific thing in common with him)
Batman #415
This one was even by Starlin!
(It's kind of interesting to consider the early scarecrow one was from when he was 12 (Bruce's imagined gravestone for him in this story actually confirms his exact age in it! yes there's an imagined gravestone) whereas I'd put him at 15 here, which (completely accidentally) gives the impression his thinking grew to be a little more like Bruce's over the years, since his "but they're dangerous/we can't let them do this" echoes Bruce's response to him back then.)
But yeah there's such a significant pattern of him being a sympathetic and compassionate kid who DOES try to understand when you actually read the comics, it's almost laughable.
