Damian Wayne is a character who will always be stuck in one place. He's always the total jerk who's full of himself who maybe could be a well adjusted nice person but he'll always fall short of that development because it would fundamentally change the entire character.

I mean sure writers progress him to be a better person but as soon as the next creative team takes over he's back where he started. I think it's because if Damian was a good likable person he'd just be Tim Drake?

Can't lie it must be a pain in the ass to be a hardcore Damian fan.

In the Red Hood comics things really started to make sense for me when I listened to interviews from Scott Lobdell. Apparently he doesn't actually plan out his stories at all. So when Jason comes back to Gotham, starts running the iceberg lounge and makes it clear he has a grand plan but then proceeds to do nothing and then move on to the next thing now I know why. There wasn't a plan to begin with. So this whole thing with Jason becoming a teacher and leading a team of young meta humans isn't so interesting because I know it isn't going anywhere.

Some people actually think Barbara Gordon would choose Jason Todd over Dick Grayson and let's be honest. Babs would be so disappointed and disgusted with you

Look Damian is a cool character and all but I really don't like the fact that he's the Robin most kids are gonna look up to for hear on out. Like I had Dick as a determined leader but still a genuine caring fun guy. My younger siblings? Yeah they have a kid who's main personally trait is being an asshole. I mean of course "asshole" isn't his whole character but if you put Damian in a team book and have him say nothing but insults to his fellow team members...you're writing him in character. I don't think he's a great intro character for young kids into comics as Dick or even Tim was.

The only reason jaybabs is a thing is because fans love Jason so they want to "give" Barbara to him.

But barabra isn't someone to just give away to your favorite robin.

Ah, yes, a Mine swarm. In Paris. None of this is almost offensively stereotypical.

"Watchmen is highly problematic" lol

im reading watchmen, and in terms of first impressions (don’t know if it counts because I’m 70% done the book) is that It’s highly problematic (the main characters are apparently supposed to be bad people?)

but the comic so far has one pretty good panel i like.

What in the actual fuck is wrong with this guy?

Please never use an metaphor like that ever again.

Awesome Wonder Woman sketch cover by Warren Louw!

[antijasontodd]

He was barely in the hush comic from what I remember so I'm fine with it.

The new Batman Hush adaptarion won’t feature Tim Drake and i just gotta say

[antijasontodd]

I'm not seeing a change in his character at all. The difference between the two scenes is that one is a comedy relief scene and the other is an exposition scene.

JASON TODD WITH ARTEMIS AND BIZARRO WATCHING OVER HIM:

JASON TODD WITHOUT BIZARRO AND ARTEMIS:

TAKE A WILD GUESS WHICH I PREFER…

This is a mild example of how much Jason has changed to be honest…

WHEN ARTEMIS AND BIZARRO GET BACK ARTEMIS BETTER BEAT SOME SENSE INTO HIM

I mean... It's true tho

Either you Love & Respect all robins equally or you die by my sword 🗡

[antijasontodd]

me: he kills people you freak

Spoiler

Wally West could've fought a time lord or visited multiple different universes in order to get his kids back. But Dc decided they'd rather have him kill his friends in heroes in crisis

Other than them REALLY oversexualising Starfire, I kinda liked RHatO; I liked the relationship between Roy and Kori though I stopped reading around the Tamaran arc because I couldn't afford anymore issues. What did you dislike about it?

All of it. Not specifically RHATO but new52 as a whole.The fact it literally made a mockery of everything Roy Harper ever was. Treated addictions as interchangeable, made him the comedy relief of the whole series despite how inspirational his prior growth had been. Erased his Navajo heritage and even went so far as to replace his tribal band tattoo with a skull when association or contact with the dead is a taboo in Navajo culture.Had him act like a bumbling idiot who looks and acts like a mindless grease monkey, and the fact all of it was only ever done to make Jason look better by comparison because DC refuses to get out from up the Batfam’s ass.

They literally made Roy Harper STUPID. Roy who was an active anti-drug advocate who went to schools to educate children about the dangers of substance abuse and volunteered at soup kitchens. Roy who was a doting single father who took responsibility for his short comings and bettered himself. Roy who was an undercover agent for Checkmate and a master in the art of Moo-Gi-Gon, the ability to utilize any household item as a lethal weapon. They took all of that and instead gave us a trucker hat wearing hot mess who POSTED A PUBLIC ADVERTISEMENT OUTING HIMSELF AS A HIRED GUN.

They took all his prior relationships from him in order to emphasize the blooming relationship between him and Jason, once again throwing Roy under the bus for Jason’s sake, even going so far as to make Fucking KILLER CROC his sponsor instead of one of his ACTUAL FRIENDS.

That coupled with the fact the plot progression was non-existent, the developments were pointless, LobHELL only ever cared about Jason and he couldn’t get his character right either, it sexualized Starfire and treated her like the trademark eye candy for the male gaze when her character had the least progression throughout the run, and is full of queer baiting.
