[thinks about tiny jason todd living in crime alley looking after his dying mother, struggling to feed himself and go to school] [thinks about jason moving into the manor and being surrounded by so much privilege; first editions of books he could never even have dreamt of reading, attending a prestigious school, having food readily available, incredible health care that his mother desperately needed] [thinks about jason comparing himself to richard and seeing all the things he can’t measure up to and trying his hardest to be the best partner to bruce he can be] [thinks about jason meeting his birth mother and thinking he’s found someone who loves him, only to be betrayed] [thinks about jasons last moments being his desperation to save his mother even after everything she’s done, even after he’s been nearly beaten to death and broken by the joker] [thinks about batman comics portraying jason as a violent thug who could never live up to the mantle of robin and writers describing how disappointed bruce was that jason was so filled with rage and unmanageable and how jasons legacy has become nothing but a cautionary tale] haha nah
