al-mayyit la ya'ūd

i just really love jason and bruce's og meeting because they're in a comic and therefore can’t curse for censorship reasons. however in the panel directly after jason hits bruce with his trusty tire iron and is actively running away bruce says 'son of a gun' and jason responds and calls him a 'big boob' (old fashioned equivalent of calling someone a dumbass). which leads me to the absolutely hilarious mental image of this Without Censorship just being. batman getting fucked up by a 13 year old kid and immediately going GET BACK HERE YOU SON OF A BITCH and jason responding with TRY AND CATCH ME YOU FUCKING IDIOT

if i had to sell you my favorite batfam fic atm i would do it like this. so jason wants to go on his red hood revenge arc but talia al ghul says 'yes but what if you stayed and made sure my lovely baby son doesn’t have to become a killer' to which jason says 'okie dokie'. starts doing damian's missions for him so the squirt doesn’t have to kill anyone. lies to ra's al ghul's face for two years straight about it. kind of becomes an administrative god along the way because talia keeps dumping more and more duties and responsibilities on him and jason is the overachiever of the century. eventually jason realizes that talia is kind of just telling people that he’s her biological son. everyone But ra's eventually believes this because he does kinda look like talia's famously beloved bruce wayne. jason is kind of annoyed by this but rolls with it because it gives him more administrative power and he craves the Paperwork. one day ra's al ghul summons damian to execute a traitor and jason goes 'lol nope' and fucking kills him. talia immediately says 'oh would you look at that my firstborn who is definitely my biological son now has the throne. kneel to him everybody' so jason at age 18 becomes the head of the demon purely because he imprinted on damian wayne and loves clipboards. are you sold yet

when jenny nicholson said 'the worst thing a franchise can do is make you feel stupid and embarrassed about having cared about it'… yeah.
