CRYING, SCREAMING, THROWING UP
MY POOR BOY OTL *SOBS*
Just in case any of you were over this yet. I know I’m not. :’)
robin means hope
Bruce Wayne: Public consumption of alcohol. It’s entirely deliberate, and he hasn’t actually swallowed a drop. He put just enough in his mouth to make his breath reek, then spat it out. He’s covering up the fact that Clark Kent was seen coming out of his window.
Dick Grayson: aggravated assault.
Jason Todd: a lot of people think he’d get arrested for murder, but there’s no way he’d let himself get caught like that, not as Jason. He’d get arrested for threatening a police officer.
Tim Drake: at first, i thought he’d get arrested for tax evasion, but then I realized he would literally never get caught committing tax evasion. He’s either manslaughter or loitering, no in between.
Damian Wayne: Younger: assault with a deadly weapon. Older: Vandalism.
Duke Thomas: Disturbing the peace. No I will not be elaborating on that.
Cassandra Cain: She wouldn’t. Not that she wouldn’t commit a crime, she just wouldn’t get arrested.
Stephanie Brown: Littering. She started throwing glitter at things because she thought it would be funny.
Alfred Pennyworth: First degree murder.
"Do I look like him?"
The way The Boy Wonder depicts Jason’s memory of his murder in this panel is haunting.
He looks at the readers, as though begging them to help. He doesn’t know they’re the ones who voted for his demise. That they chose this.
I can’t get over it.
