The Way The Boy Wonder Depicts Jason’s Memory Of His Murder In This Panel Is Haunting.

batman: what’s the situation?

commissioner gordon: Harley and Ivy have hijacked an AM radio station and taken the employees hostage

batman: what are their demands?

commissioner gordon: they haven’t issued any. they, uh.

batman:

[commisioner gordon turns on the radio]

harley: —you gotta walk away, sweetie. His family sounds completely toxic, if not outright emotionally abusive, and he’s too enmeshed to see it.

caller: no, you’re right. you’re right. I gotta do it.

harley: you got this, honey. now, stay on the line a minute, I’m writing down some the names of some books for you and you can get those from Ivy after we’re done. okay! our next caller —

[commisioner gordon turns off the radio]

batman: what station is this?

commisioner gordon: WGTM.

batman: the one that rebroadcasts rush limbaugh?

commissioner gordon:

batman:

commisioner gordon: you know what, i probably didn’t need to call you for this.

how are they gonna adequately prepare whatever child they cast for nico di angelo. it has got to be impossible for someone that young to give informed consent about playing the saddest wettest loser in all of human history. like hey kid i know youre sprightly and all of ten, but we need you to be in all five stages of grief at all times. remember, your mother was killed in fascist italy, youre eighty years old, and now youre in love with the guy who killed your sister. say this next line like you know what it's like to be an ear of corn.

You know that feeling of terror when you get caught stealing Batman’s tires?

Me neither

trying to get used to drawing this goober again

sometimes i forget that jason was dead for like 20 years or smt like that, bro really went through it

you are not a machine. you are more like a garden. you need different things on different days. a little sun today, a little less water tomorrow. you have fallow and fruitful seasons. it is not a design flaw. it is wiser than perpetual sameness. what does your garden need today?

Jason Todd adoring strong women who share a name with the greek/roman goddess of hunt (Artemis/Diana).

so do you think that if jay was in ancient greece (i’d add roman empire as well, but greek mythology should stay greek, wtf), he’d be patronized by artemis? he obviously would worship her, there’s no question to that.

considering that she was a goddess of, besides hunt, transition, and care of children, all of which fit jason perfectly. especially considering how much she cares for women and children, which is precisely jason’s priority. and to top it off, it would be pretty much in line with greek mythology “tropes”: a strong goddess patronizes a man who does what she values, and artemis’ values were quite unusual for ancient greece. just like imagine her being utterly shocked that a man, respects???? and protects????? women?????? and then she oversteps her fair prejudices, and gives him her blessing.

and aND AND

HEAR ME OUT!!!!

dick getting blessing from apollo. because, first of all, and let’s be so honest here, his name. already enough of an argument i fear. but also beauty, and youth, and the performance 🤌🤌🤌 moreover, i feel like apollo would find it so fun to patronize a brother of his sister’s protege who also happens to be interesting enough to follow and observe. and the sibling drama there - peak, so fun to watch.

i can also see artemis being constantly unpleased with the way jason’s family situation unfolds, emphasizing with him, while apollo is having fun.

extra point if both twins decided to patronize batboys because of how tough for them their mothers’ deaths were.

after initially creating all of these for jason, i got a consultation from the dick-grayson-sage @gaywineauntsstuff who mentioned donna, and i hate to say it but…

DONNA FITS THE ARTEMIS THING SO MUCH, I NEED IT RN, AND ALL OF THESE BUT ARTEMIS PATRONIZING DONNA AND APOLLO PATRONIZING DICK - PEAK SIBLINGISM. I NEED IT RIGHT THIS MOMENT IN FRONT OF ME. SHE’D BE SUCH A BADASS PATRONIZED BY A BADASS, THEY’D BE UNSTOPPABLE.

jason version, don’t get me wrong, i still love you, but i also love donna troy, and i respect artemis’ overall decision to not get involved with men 🙏 plus jay already has his own artemis at home

Croquis with jason

can we talk about this?

i get that this person is referencing the fact that she's drawn beautifully but cassie has always been a tomboy i don't get why they started making her more girly, they're stripping her of her og personality.

she actually looks like sabrina carpenter, stop this

bring back my tough girl!!!

Who - in your opinion - is the superior bat?

Cassandra Cain
