Thinking about Ruthlessness (Epic the Musical) in a Jason Todd kinda way and honestly?
He could totally have sung it in Titan's Tower while facing down Tim Drake, angry that he took his mantle and that Joker was still alive.
Also the voice for poseidon sounds so "Jason" you know? With the growl in the voice.
I made some modified lyrics for this situation if you all want to see my take on the scene.
Lazarus Pit Voices: Jason, Jason, Jason, Jason
Jason, Jason, Jason, Jason
Jason:
In all my years of living
It isn't very often that I get pissed off
I try to chill with the blows
But damn, you crossed the line
I've been so gracious
And yet, you took the mantle, out of line
That's right, the costume you wear, is mine
I'm left without a choice and without a doubt
Guess the pack of bats is swimming with the rogues now
I've gotta make you bleed, I need to see you drown
But before you go, I need to make you learn how
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Pit Voices: (Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ourselves
Jason (knocks down Tim):
You are the worst kind of Robin 'cause you're not even great!
A Bat who reeks of false righteousness, that's what I hate!
'Cause you fight to save lives, but won't kill and don't get the job done
I mean, you totally could have avoided all this had you just killed the clown
But no
Jason:
You are far too nice, mercy has a price
It's the final crack, we're bound to break the ice now
You revealed your cards, then you let him live
Unlike you, I've got no mercy left to give 'cause
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Pit Voices: (Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves
Ourselves
And now it is finally time to say goodbye, today you die
Unless, of course, you apologize
For all your inaction and all of the cries
Jason, I meant no harm
I only took the mantle to calm him
I took no pleasure in your pain
I only wanted to escape
Jason (stays silent before):
The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible
So close your heart, the world is dark and
Ruthlessness is mercy
Die
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- Titans:(Robin, Robin)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- Titans:(Robin, Robin)
Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- Titans: (Mayday, Mayday)
Ruthlessness is -
Titans:
What have you done?
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
Tim:
When does rage turn into cruelty?
