#with the theme of brotherly Jason and Danny

[umbrelladripdrop]

Danny: Why don't humans have a specific noise that means "there are bees here, let's leave immediately." Why are elephants more advanced than us. Jason: We do have a specific noise for it. It sounds like this: Jason: "There are bees here, let's leave immediately." ----- Jason: What should I do? Danny: *holds out hand* May I suggest dinner with a friend? Jason: Well, none of my friends are available, so I guess I'll have to go with you. ----- Jason, to Danny: Remember how I once thought that this place couldn’t possibly be any weirder than my hometown? Jason, watching with dead eyes as the flying ghost ship passes by with the siren rock band playing on it: Well, now I’m not sure how to feel about being proven wrong.

31 Days Of Dick Grayson

🦋☀️🦋

28. What if Dick had adopted Jason Todd instead of Bruce?

Flamebird

I definitely can see Jason becoming Flamebird to Dick Grayson’s Nightwing, I mean there’s not another moniker that would really fit to seal them up as a duo, and he’d succeed Jimmy Olsen and Bette Kane with the mantle. Though it might be awkward Dick Grayson having a teen kid Donna has a tween, so I figure they will just give them more a brotherly relationship anyway, but years down the line retcon if as more father and son, like they did with Dick and Bruce. So Jason is probably gonna get aged down.

He’ll keep his hair red because he only died it for his role as Robin, and he’ll be a generally unlikeable curly haired redhead sidekick with red and yellow themes. Danny Chase would probs never happen, and instead Jason would become a more permanent member but take on Danny’s role since he’s so young. As a new Titans roster starts, he’ll get aged down like Rose and join the likes of Ravager, Impulse, Damage, and Green Lantern.

He’ll probably be the one who’s later retconned onto a team with impulse, superboy, and Wonder Girl instead of Tim, because at this point Tim’s origin story would never happen, although Damian still will because of Talia’s pregnancy and kingdom come. I honestly don’t know if Bruce would take on another Robin, but I think after Barb getting shot by the joker they would include a whole new set of characters to join Batman in his stories because at this point he’s working alone too long.

Jason was never well liked, and I think making him Flamebird instead will still lead to his death, writers will want Dick Grayson to move on with his life and be young, find love, and take on new adventures, so they’d trash him like every other Titan’s child. Garth and his daughter, Donna Troy and Robert Long husband and stepdaughter, Roy Harper and Lian Harper, Wally West and Jai and Irey West.

Since Jason had a costume though, and since Jason came before Danny those two things would set him on a certain path. DC comics kills off babies and children because superheroes having families outside of costumes forces them to have a mundane and nuclear side to the story, and erases thousands of possibilities for their hero. Writing them in is fun and exciting, but they all meet their doom. However, Jason would die in costume, and he’s therefore apart of the mantles history. He’s going to be brought back because his return can be a major plot point.

Second, Jason would take away the role Marv Wolfman wanted for the Titans, Danny Chase, since he appears and even joins the team as Robin before him, as the redheaded fanboy nerd running tech. So like Danny Chase, they would plan out his life according to Danny’s, the Titans would find he actually faked his death and became the Phantasm, then died for real as a villain.

Yet, just like Danny Chase and the other Flamebirds, Bette and Jimmy as Flamebird, he’d probably never make another REAL appearance in the 2000s, fade to obscurity, and become a “what! That actually happened!?!?” Story Like Donna Troy’s stepdaughter and the REAL second robin Lance Bruner.

It’s funny though, no matter what happens he’s still a little kid that dies a hero cause no one likes him, only to be reincarnated as a villain. Poetically Jason would live to be what he’s always loved: a Greek tragedy
