#Bruce just sorta throws his hands up and goes ‘law has our hands tied’ and Jason is very unsatisfied with this answer

[kittykatninja321]

Any au that has Jason willingly working for the government even if it’s as a social worker has automatically kinda lost me because we’re talking about someone who distrusts the system so much that as a child he chose the streets over going into custody of social services. Jason’s lack of faith in institutions continues into adulthood (but also through his original Robin tenure low key), one of the most substantial differences between his and Bruce’s philosophy is the fact that Bruce puts his faith in the law and the criminal justice system while Jason decidedly does not in the slightest

#‘Jason would work for Gotham social services as a civilian/day job ’ Would Jason trust Gotham social services? Genuinely honest question #feel free to answer with panels and stuff #I just don’t see him as someone who trusts state institutions or The System at all #Jason Todd #Dc #You could sorta look at the diplomat’s son case as a difference between Bruce and Jason’s faith in the law #Bruce just sorta throws his hands up and goes ‘law has our hands tied’ and Jason is very unsatisfied with this answer #and he may or may not do something very much outside of the law in response #Tangent note: cop comparisons aside any au that has Jason actually working inside a police department has lost the plot #Jason Todd says fuck 12 he told me himself
