Jason's narrative purpose as Red Hood is to provide a counter point to Bruce's moral philosophy. The whole fucking point of the final confrontation is that by not putting an end to the Joker, Bruce is allowing him to kill, and in doing so is just as guilty.

To say that Jason would stop killing permanently without Bruce as a factor you have to subscribe to the idea that Jason feels guilt about his kills, but he doesn't. He kills the absolute worst of the worst and he does it because he believes it's necessary. In his view, this is justice. This has been true of his character since he was Robin, Starlin may have been trying to get the audience to dislike Jason but he accidentally fleshed out Jason better than anyone else who'd been writing him by showing the effects of growing up in the worst conditions Gotham has to offer has on his world view.

I'm aware he's a murderer, so is he. Neither of us care. And quite frankly I think he should go back to killing and maiming rapists because he was so real for that.

Every time I see a story, be it canon or fanfic, where Jason is like "wow my morals are kind of fucked up I should never kill again" I have to put it down, close the tab, ect. Because HE WOULD NOT FUCKING DO THAT. We're talking about Bruce's number one fan turned antagonist.

Do you not think he's maybe already considered such a thing?

The thing about Jason is that he's as devoted to his views and sense of justice as Bruce is, maybe with a little more flexibility (i.e. he's willing to temporarily stop killing if it's necessary for his overall goals where Bruce wouldn't be able to kill even if it would benefit everyone in the long run) and any run or story where he completely disregards his own moral compass and personal experience to follow Bruce's rules is just a disservice to his character.

His whole thing is that Batman's methods are ineffective and his unwillingness to either do what needs to be done or let someone else do so is a clear sign that he's not the hero Gotham needs. Jason genuinely believes everything he says about the system, and Bruce's ineffectiveness.

His crime lord era wasn't just a silly little thing he did to fuck with Bruce with the final confrontation as the REAL point of Under the Red Hood, he became a crime lord because he believed it was the best way he could help. The point of Red Hood is protecting Gotham, fucking with Bruce was just a bonus. Like the confrontation wasn't even initially planned, Jason haphazardly threw that at the end of his to-do list after he realized he couldn't just blow up the Batmobile.

Stop reducing Jason's motivations to "get Bruce's attention/make Bruce kill".

"You're glorifying a fictional murderer!" NO I'M NOT!!!!!!I'm sexualizing him.

ya know what? I think Jason should do the duffle bag thing again, to set the record straight.

Bruce has taken Jason's want to be with him for granted, he should put a bomb in the batmovile again. I think being antagonistic towards Bruce would help him tbh, stress relief

Alternatively, let him do his own thing for once, let him have his own identity why is it that hard 😭😭

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation

because WHAT are people talking about sometimes

#being someone who reads comics in the comic fandom is hard but I persevere #fanon (derogatory) #dc

Excuse me while I lose my fucking mind for a while.

Thinking about that one Wingman Willis panel where he's making up a fake name on the spot and he uses Catherine's maiden name.

funniest character dynamic in the world to me is when you have one guy knows hes gay but doesnt realise hes in love with his best friend and another guy who knows hes in love with his best friend but does not know hes gay

#Eddie “grew up in L.A” Bloomberg vs. Jason “First friend he ever made while not in survival mode” Todd #Jayeddie #eddie bloomberg #Jason Todd
