when it comes to being willing to make concessions on methods & morality specifically in exchange for gaining batman’s trust & access to the inner bat circle vs rejecting an existing trust & access (because it did exist prior to jason’s death & would have existed had he chosen to walk back in with no radically opposing beliefs after lost days #1)….jason should never choose the first

#re: op’s tags on lrb. but once again this is unrelated to the actual post. It just reminded me #worded it this way bc jason could maybe give up killing maybe. but not for the bats. it doesn’t work bc he made the choice to #not return as a bat and he hasn’t finished justifying that choice yet. in fact it all falls apart if he makes concessions for them now #but whether he’s wrong or right and what he thinks abt that is irrelevant. he made a choice and he’s got to stick by it when it comes to #renouncing an important part of his ideology since his resurrection just for them #the point isn’t the killing itself but whether jason would be see the bats as a good enough exchange for giving up his ideology #and he clearly didn’t the first time he chose to kill (and at that time he was remembering a father that was much more loving than bruce #has been since jason’s death. an older brother who was more supportive than dick currently is — bc well. Jason isn’t doing stuff he Can #support currently lol— and etc) the point is that Jason looked at what is to him the better version of his family and still chose to severe #himself from them (or maintain/exacerbate the severance. since his dying was the initial separation) so why would he go back on it all #these tags should’ve been worded better and also part of the post. I’ll do that sometime when im not sleepy #actually the first is what helena does and it never quite works bc the bats don’t generally grant her the trusted status that most #newcomers are able to attain. and mostly that’s on batman. this isnt even what the post is about #so easily now #jason todd
