It's most likely just Starlin trying to get to Jason dying faster because he did not like Robin, but the whole "Jason's spiraling because of his grief for his parents" thing they were trying to spin was honestly really weird, not supported by the rest of the run INCLUDING the parts Starlin wrote, and kinda reads like an unreliable narrator situation because all of the information supporting it is given through Bruce's narration, him speculating on Jason's thoughts and actions.
#do i think this was Jim Starlin's intent? ehhhhhh probably not #but it's fun how well everything adds up when you think about the subtext and implications outside of what's explicitly given #like Jason sees several predators go free under Batman's eye gets murdered then shows up believing that Batman fails at deterring evil? #surely these incidents could be related to each other #idk it's just fishy to me that Jason's grief is only spoken of by Alfred and narrated by Bruce #and his reactions to the deaths of over a dozen women and his dad's murder being covered up go unmentioned by both #“Jason doesn't talk about his parents lately” Jason has hard conversations through notes + refuses to talk about anything upsetting at all #he has his own narration in other parts of the story but somehow never mentions the grief he's said to feel (op's tags)
