Don't you get tired of every little virtue Jason has getting attributed to Bruce or Alfred's good teachings?
He keeps his living conditions as neat as can be when he's squatting in an abandoned building, him being neat had jack shit to do with Alfred.
He sneaks up on Batman the stealth master several times in his introduction, holds himself well in a fight against multiple older guys twice, and those are the very reason Bruce even considered making him Robin. Bruce didn't introduce the concept of fighting and stealth to Jason.
He refused to join a high stakes heist despite potential threats to his life, he showed up alone to stop said heist when he fully believes that Batman refused to act upon it. He never lacked a sense of morality and justice and bats certainly didn't 'teach him better'.
Sure sure he did aquire more skills and training from them that he otherwise wouldn have had, but to say that they alone taught him all good things in his life is really classicism at full swing.
one of my recent favourite headcanons is the idea that the lazarus pit’s effect on Jason isn’t just an increase in his anger/negative emotions, but rather just an increase in energy overall; and the reason that translated to anger when he was first in gotham was just because he got hyper-focused on the robin thing and being angry at tim was the only way for his brain to let out that energy. i like to think when jason isn’t hyper-focused on one specific thing/activity he just gets really easily distracted/finds it hard to keep still and starts bouncing about like a bored child waiting for his mom to finish speaking to her friend at a grocery store. like—essentially, i like to think that the lazarus pit gave jason his own little abstract version of adhd.
it probably confuses the fuck out of the bats when jason stops being hyperfocused on the robin/joker situation and they start witnessing this new normal, because jason as a child i think was Not Like That. he was quiet, loved to curl up and relax with a good book and was very methodical/matter-of-fact about the way he completed tasks. i imagine jason reintegrating himself into the batfamily and being all frantic/easily distracted/bouncy all the time would confuse the fuck out of them; especially when damian just ignores it/works around it like it’s normal. but the funniest aspect of this is how i think jason would have been at the league.
i just keep imagining talia and ra’s trying to deal with it. they resurrected the second robin thinking they were going to get a great powerful warrior and asset to potentially use against batman in the future and instead they got a jason todd who wont stop zoning out during meetings and has to constantly be reminded what mission he’s even been assigned.
talia sends him out to kill some guy and jason returns with no kill and a bunch of knitting supplies because he walked past a store and got distracted by the cool patterns being advertised.
damian is Well Used to reminding jason of appointments/specifically timed events because the lazarus energy fizzes about in his mind so much that jason just Has No Concept of time or time management anymore. he is late for Everything without damian keeping tabs.
ra’s is the most resigned man on the planet whenever jason is around him because he cannot argue that jason is still really fucking valuable to have on side—it’s just that any meeting jason is a part of will always end with him getting bored/distracted and rambling about some completely irrelevant subject. or just drawing on his legs under the table with a marker.
essentially i think it would be fun if the lazarus pit gave jason less-negative-but-still-visible mental effects, and damian’s the only one in gotham who’s like ‘yeah he’s just kind of like that now. really tested the league’s patience.’ while the bats watch him zone out during a break-in reconnaissance mission at an aquarium to stare at the fish and then read all the fact-plaques on the wall just. baffled.

These are rules I generally adhere to in my own writing, they aren't gospel or meant to be the end all be all of writing. Also it should be noted that like all rules, these too are made to be broken when and where it serves the text. This is not about grammar or Correct Use of King's English™, this is just a list of personal style choices.
Anyway.
1. Indicate who's speaking as quickly as possible.
See difference between:
"Wait, does anyone have an extra eraser? I could swear I brought one, but I can't find it."
"You can use mine. Though if you steal it, I will kill you."
"Nice. I'm changing my brother's name to Gerry, is that okay?"
"You had two weeks to come up with your backstory."
And:
"Wait, does anyone have an extra eraser?" Melanie asks. "I could swear I brought one, but I can't find it."
"You can use mine," Jan says. "Though if you steal it, I will kill you."
"Nice," Melanie says. "I'm changing my brother's name to Gerry, is that okay?"
Annie says, "You had two weeks to come up with your backstory."
But this looks like talking heads in a blank void talking to each other, so, give the characters bodies and physicality, which brings us to rule 2.
2. no talking heads in void.
Though people do just sit around talking without doing anything else, it's not that interesting to read and also, gotta remember that readers can't see what you see in your head while writing. You gotta actually give them something to latch a mental image onto, so. Characters should move and emote.
"Wait, does anyone have an extra eraser?" Melanie asks, rummaging through her bag. "I could swear I brought one, but I can't find it."
"You can use mine," Jan says, nudging his own eraser over. It's in the shape of an old fashioned motorcycle. "Though if you steal it, I will kill you."
"Nice," Melanie says and snatches it up to do quick edits on her character sheet. "I'm changing my brother's name to Gerry, is that okay?"
Annie gives her a flat look. "You had two weeks to come up with your backstory."
Now you can sorta tell what they're talking about. Just don't go overboard - dialogue has a momentum and a rhythm, and too much description can overwhelm it.
3. Character Action and Character Dialogue go on the same paragraph.
See difference between this:
Melanie rummaged through her backpack.
"Wait, does anyone have an extra eraser? I could swear I brought one, but I can't find it."
"You can use mine."
Jackson nudged his own eraser over. It was the shape of a motorcycle.
"Though if you steal it, I will kill you."
"Nice."
Melanie snatches it up to do quick edits on her character sheet.
"I'm changing my brother's name to Gerry, is that okay?"
Annie gives her a flat look.
"You had two weeks to come up with your backstory."
And this:
Melanie rummaged through her backpack. "Wait, does anyone have an extra eraser? I could swear I brought one, but I can't find it."
"You can use mine." Jackson nudged his own eraser over. It was the shape of a motorcycle. "Though if you steal it, I will kill you."
"Nice." Melanie snatches it up to do quick edits on her character sheet. "I'm changing my brother's name to Gerry, is that okay?"
Annie gives her a flat look. "You had two weeks to come up with your backstory."
Not only does it make the text way more cohesive and snappy but, once again, it's much more clear who is saying what - but even then, I prefer to use dialogue indicators. Text like this to me looks like maybe there's a voiceover going on or something.
4. No mixing and matching characters. One character per paragraph.
This is one of my most broken rules, but in general it's character per paragraph.
So, none of this:
Melanie rummaged through her backpack while Annie set up the DM screen. "Wait, does anyone have an extra eraser? I could swear I brought one, but I can't find it."
"You can use mine." Jackson nudged his eraser over and Melanie snatched it up "Though if you steal it, I will kill you." Melanie begun making quick edits.
"Nice. I'm changing my brother's name to Gerry, is that okay?" Beside her, Annie gave her a flat look.
"You had two weeks to come up with your backstory."
Mixing and matching who's doing what like this makes it hard to see who's saying what, it makes the dialogue messy. However, this is fine.
While Annie set up the DM screen, Melanie rummaged through her backpack "Wait, does anyone have an extra eraser?" she asked. "I could swear I brought one, but I can't find it."
"You can use mine." Jackson nudged his eraser over and Melanie snatched it up. "Though if you steal it, I will kill you," he added.
"Nice. I'm changing my brother's name to Gerry, is that okay?" Melanie ask, grinning at the look Annie gave her.
"You had two weeks to come up with your backstory," Annie says flatly.
Note that in mixing and matching like this, it's all the more important to point out who is saying what. In general though, I tend to minimise this sort of stuff.
5 is kinda rule 1 rehashed, but, again, indicate who is speaking upfront. Especially when there's a larger piece of dialogue.
Sometimes, people aren't actually reading - sometimes for various reasons they're using text to speech, or maybe someone does a podfic or something. Even in visual reading, when there's a big block of dialogue without indicators it can be hard to follow.
So instead of:
"If Melanie can change her background, can I add a cool uncle to mine? I want a cool uncle - like, a gunslinger or something. Or a wizard - oo, a wizard uncle! He can be creepy and vague and give me problematic spells!" Jackson says eagerly.
I'd rather do:
Jackson puts his hand up. "If Melanie can change her background, can I add a cool uncle to mine?" he asks eagerly. "I want to give Kaiser a cool uncle - like, a gunslinger or something. Or a wizard - oh, a wizard uncle! He can be creepy and vague and give me problematic spells!"
Especially so when there's multiple characters talking and maybe one character hasn't been talking as much as the others - if they jump back into the discussion, it should be noted.
6. Limit your bits.
But as said before, every rule is made to be broken, and I break my own rules all the time. When I do it, though, it's generally for the bit, to make the text more interesting. Stuff like bits of dialogue without any indicators who is saying what to show that there's a faceless crowd speaking all at once, or two characters going back and forth, stuff like that.
"Jackson's dude has Main Character Energy," Melanie says solemnly.
"Kaiser is the anime protagonist," Jan agrees. "We're just NPCs in his world."
"The cheerleaders of his adventurers."
"Founding members of his harem."
They nod in perfect understanding and agreement.
For a couple of lines, exchanges like this can be fun - if the back and forth goes on for 12 lines, though, it will get tiresome.
There are other bits I do, and again, I break my own dialogue writing rules a lot for stylistic reasons to make the text more interesting or to give it better rhythm, or whatever. Sometimes, there's no dialogue at all, sometimes there's no indicators. There's no actual rules in writing, even grammar is all made up. These are more guidelines than anything.
But I hope the effort makes the dialogue more readable.
I like to think about how different they are on jealousy level, or more exactly how they show it.
Jason is more visible even he doesn’t want to show that he actually care for Dick that much (even if they are dating for a while now.) but everyone can see it, Jason become sulky and throw glares at the person who get a bit too close. (He think is really subtle while he clearly isn’t.) Dick ofc notice it and love teasing Jason about it.
Dick on the other is more quiet (in surface at least.) he is good at not showing it even if he remember every single faces who tries to flirt with Jason. Every time they step into a room he make it clear that Jason and him are dating but nothing too grandiose, just a subtle hand on the waist, sliding down to Jason’s ass when he make a joke.
Jason will tell someone « fuck off he is taken. » if someone start flirting with Dick before sticking to Dick the whole night.
Dick will just smile, tease his little wing that he is so cute that’s why everyone flirt, making sure too say loudly enough « I’m so lucky to have a such a pretty boyfriend. » while printing that person’s face in his mind. One is a coincidence, two isn’t. If they start flirting again they better lock their window.
Jason will shoot down anyone who flirt with Nightwing as red hood, but Dick will shoot anyone who flirt with Jason as Dick. Jason is sweet, Red hood isn’t. Nightwing is sweet, Dick isn’t.
People who know their double identity are not getting too close, nor saying anything too flirty. They are scared.

Imagine Jason being stuck at the manor because he is sick and Bruce (traumatized.) does not want his son to leave until he is healed. The problem is, he was supposed to stay at Dick’s place but can’t.
So Dick calls him at night, they speak and an hour later Dick and Jason are jerking off on call. Jason is straight out whimpering because Dick is calling him a good boy.
Now you have Bruce, hearing Jason whimpers and he think Jason is not okay, his boy is about to Die. He burst into the room, finding Jason hand around his cock ass in the air while fingering himself.
Ofc they both froze. Bruce hears Dick’s voice on the phone asking if Jason is okay. Now he knows too much and wish he could forget everything.
