Iām still working my way through my reading list, but at this point, I wouldn't even be surprised if Bruce told Jason to his face that his death was his own fault. In fact, Iām surprised he hasnāt done it yet. Badmouthing him while he was dead is one thing, but the way people treat him after his resurrection makes me sick. I donāt get their definition of "brutally betrayed and murdered," most of the time they just ignore and never mention about his death, which is actually the best-case scenario compared to, say, putting a crowbar in his bed or bringing him back to the place where he died. I mean, we donāt exactly have a standard manual for how to treat a murder victimā¦ but surely not this? Surely not turning it into something to mock, exploit, or trivialize? People wouldn't treat someone's negative experiences that way, let alone their actual death.
Honestly, I can picture Bruce and Jason arguing about something completely unrelated, with Bruce suddenly shouting, "You died because you didn't follow my orders!" and Jason replying, "Yeah, sure! But thatās not the point here!" Like heād just accept it and move right back to the topic at hand. Neither of them, Jason or Bruce would realize thereās anything wrong with that. I mean, seriously, weāve come so close to that already. Bruce once told Jason he got killed for treating things like a game (back when he didn't know it was Jason), and Jason was just like, "haha are you trying to distract me." He can handle whatever the fuck Bruce throws at him. In fact, he actually think so and said it himself that it was his fault because he "went out on his own" (and it made me sick.)
Actually, I think there was something similar to this already, when Damian told Jason "you failed you" and "he gave you a simple order and you couldn't follow it" and Jason just simply didn't react to that. He just skipped through that.
