I FOUND IT I KNEW I WASN'T CRAZY. after the explosion jason jokes about bruce having to put red hood in a case in the cave next to robin meanwhile bruce is having a panic attack and pushes him away after literally coming here to SAVE JASON.
The time Jason lost before he went into the Lazarus pit wasn’t just a filler arc. That shit mattered. He didn’t just go to sleep and wake up, he suffered every day of that psychological horror.
It's important to note when saying readers liked Tim and disliked Jason that Tim was written by people hellbent on his success and Jason was written by a writer and overseen by an editor who openly wanted Robin gone and then tried to act like Jason himself was responsible for it.
still dont understand why jason's the "angry" robin when all he ever was during his time as robin was be happy as hell to go to school and spend time and be compassionate
