Re: Irritating misinterpretations of characters in fandom and/or adaptations

[blunderbuss]

I'm not fond of the reboot in general, but I was pissed right out of the gate because they fucked with his backstory:

1. Batman caught him pinching from a medical clinic, not the wheels from the batmobile. That ticks me off because one thing I adored about Jason is that he had the sheer balls to rip off THE BATMOBILE and then smacked Batman with a tire iron when confronted. (Not to mention that Jason was a good kid who only stole to survive. He would not steal from a goddamn clinic.)

2. His birth mother not being an evil bitch and selling him out. It seems cruel, but it is a major source of Jason's massive need for validation because as far as he sees it two of his parental figures backstabbed him.

3. The Joker somehow magically setting all of these events in motion to create the Red Hood. Not only is it another example of God-Joker, but it steals away Jason's agency and heroism.

I do like the idea of Jason eventually making amends with Tim, but that's something that needs a lot of character development. Jason hates the very EXISTANCE of Tim as Robin and it would take a long long time for Jason to be at peace with his 'replacement'. You can't just say 'oh they're cool now' because that is a story that should be shown.

I also like the concept of Jason hooking up with other outsider heroes and kicking ass together, but I never liked the execution.
