The way Jason’s plans would’ve gone way more smoothly had the lazerus pit actually made him a sociopath. Unfortunately for him he does not have the freedom of being unfeeling and he trips over his heart and loses the idgaf war

he's well-adjusted now

Ok as I mentioned in my tags of that last post, in 2018 DC created the black label, which is a label that they wanted to use to run series for more mature audiences. You have to be 17 to buy them in stores and they contain like uncensored swearing and way more violence and sexual themes. It's basically DC going ok these comic books are all rated R. This didn't stop me from reading them when I was a teen but that's beside the point.

Anyway the first book to be put out under the black label was Batman: Damned, which in the VERY FIRST ISSUE has a panel of Batman going full frontal, which was the funniest couple months of my life because people lost their minds. It was hilarious. It also generated this headline, which I thought I might have imagined for the last 6 years, but no I managed to find it just now and it's even better than I remembered.

#they were trying to be edgy and dark #but we all just pointed and laughed and Bruce Wayne’s batdong #it was so unwarranted and out of place

I feel like you just don't get Bruce reacting to fucked up shit by screaming and looking like he's going to hurl anymore. let that man emote.

(from Detective Comics #613)

#I love this man #let him emote!!!!!

It might seem like I’m joking when I say that Batman VS the TMNT is my favorite movie of all time but you need to understand that to me. to me? This movie has it all. The Gotham City Rogues all get fursonas. Two poorly voiced lesbians tearfully break up in a pizzeria right before Batman throws Michealangelo through the window. Donatello sees Damian Wayne and yells “What are you, five?!” Leonardo calls him “Little guy” and Damian fucking breaks his knees with a bo staff. Harley’s in her jester outfit telling Joker that eight years of college and three years of residency make her overqualified to be the sexy nurse. Raphael of all turtles lectures Batman about not being direct and trusting with his family. Leonardo kicks Ra’s al Ghul in the balls. Shredders asks Batman to say his last words and he goes, “Cowabunga”

suddenly struck with thoughts about the devastating concept of Jason Todd

because he was good. because he had a bleeding heart despite every reason not to. he loved school and was good at it. he was the first to be adopted, with little pretense of guardianship. he did everything he could to be a perfect Robin and live up to an impossible ideal. he only ever wanted Bruce and Dick to like him.

because he met Bruce in the same place and on the same day that Bruce's parents died--the single defining moment of Batman's existence. and he made Batman laugh. he hit the Dark Knight, Terror of Gotham, with a tire iron. he wasn't afraid of the man who turned fear into a weapon.

because he couldn't save his mother from herself, but he tried. because he was too good not to try and save the woman who gave him up. too good to play the Joker's game. the crowbar didn't kill him, the bomb did. he died knowing he wouldn't make it and tried anyway. he died a hero.

because other Robins have died, but none of them put an irrevocable tear in the mythos of Batman. because Jason Todd always dies, in every universe. he dies for the sins of his father. he was put to death by popular vote, sacrificed by the crowd. doomed by the narrative and doomed by the audience. the boy who only ever tried to prove he was good enough--wasn't good enough.

because he has every reason to be angry. because he didn't ask to be murdered, didn't ask to be brought back, and when he did everyone acted like he was better off dead. Bruce tried to kill him and nearly succeeded. he's blamed for his own death and blamed for his resurrection. he can never come home because the house is haunted by his own ghost.

because he's been the hero, the victim, and the villain. because his family and his writers and his universe don't know what to make of him. they don't know how to look his tragedy in the eye. and how can you?

it hurts to look at the hero who cannot be good enough, the victim who will only ever be angry, the villain who can sometimes be right. the audience hates to feel complicit and, in this exceptional case, they are.

Hello, yes, the Gotham Knights cutscene where Jason was trying out his new “rubber bullets” on dummies and Tim stepped right into the line of fire and dared Jason to shoot if he really thought the bullets were soft enough to be non-lethal and Jason recoiled in horror?

I still think about that at least once a day. 🥺✨
