bug!

For those who, like me, when they like a character they need to read every single comic the character appears in, I have compiled a list of all of Roy Harper’s appearances from his first team-up with the Teen Titans up to the 2011 Flashpoint reboot (not including New 52 continuity).

Wow this got out of hand a bit. All the research that went into this. I’m never doing this again but it was fun. Excuse me while I go die. Sorry if it’s a bit blurry, I was working very large.

On pinterest (slightly better quality):

Pre-Crisis: Detective Comics 533

Summary: Bruce and Jason have a heartfelt conversation. Barbara visits her father in the hospital after his heart attack. When hitmen break into the hospital to kill Jim Gordon, Batman and Barbara have to save the unconscious Commissioner.

Jason's Personality/Morals: Jason seems pretty comfortable with Bruce. He's also so tiny, it's adorable. But he was stung by Bruce saying he had no right to wear the Robin costume.

Bruce's Parenting: Actually very good! He apologizes to Jason. Although he never says the word sorry and jumps into explanations, he does say "I want to apologize" and admits that he wasn't acting very well. He tells Jason the most heroic thing anyone can do is to be themself, and gives him a hug. He also says "I hope you'll come to look upon me as your father."

Barbara and Jim: Babs says she was a "tomboy" as a kid. She participated in otherwise all-male activities, including track events such as a one-mile race. Her father was her biggest supporter, and encouraged her to succeed.

Sideplots

This addresses the "Commissioner Gordon's Heart Troubles" side plot.

Selected Panels

I do kind of wonder what wars he's talking about, but yeah.

This panel is so so sweet. Look at how tiny Jason is! And he's clutching Bruce's arms!

But really, "for the first time?" Bruce was literally just talking about his other son. Like two panels ago. *sigh*
