Lies! Made of LIES! And comics.

...tell my brain to shut the fuck up, and no, I don't want to do a comment_fic binge this weekend. I don't care if it's the second weekend of the month; those things are physically draining, and I'm already kinda out of it this week

I'm still sticking with CONFUSED
I mean was that Jason, what is with the fucking Brand names bullshit, did they kill him? I don't believe they killed him, but if they did OMFG >.>

And why they fuck go with the Pre-Crisis Red Hair? Wtf is the point of that? I mean he clearly had black hair WHEN Batman met him. You can't just toss BS in to make Bruce look even more creepy! What the heck.

I'm worried it's gonna be some multiverse BS that'll just bog things down and wipe out characterization.

I did like him telling Damien not to expect job security though. That amused me.

I hoping it's not the real Jason. Someone threw out a theory that I like. Jason's been misplaced since Countdown, and this other Jason just came in a took his place. I'd be okay with this. All the stupidity that BftC would be retconned, and all would be good.

...not that I really believe DC Comics is smart enough to go the route, but I do remember they did throw the idea around of when Jason came back for it to be Earth-2 Jason. They may be playing with that idea now... And I've heard Morrison likes the multiverse concept...

Heee, I did enjoy that. No job security for you, Damian. >:D

Not the real Jason. Calling it.

The real Jay is off stalking Tim.

[shiny_glor_chan]

:( I hope you're right.

....I REALLY hope you're right. XD

Stalking him FOR JUSTICE. And by justice, I mean sweet sweet boy love. And by sweet sweet boy love, I mean PORN.

I didn't have the heart to read B&R. Also I'm in Japan and getting comics is impossible. What happened?

Jason's 'come back' with a new Red Hood costume with a red skull on his chest and an upside down red test tube on his head (like the original Red Hood character). He's also got a side-kick from the first storyline in Batman and Robin. Her code-name's Scarlet and IMO, he's totally manipulating her to fight crime the way he does (with lots of killing). He now leaves a red calling card that says something like 'Vengeance arms against his red right hand' or something to that effect (it's hard to read) and spouts off cheesy one-liners like: "Let the punishment fit the crime." and "The fight against crime grows up." etc. Apparently, his hair has also been retconned back to red and according to him, Bruce made him dye it black to look more like Dick. Oh, and he's getting zits and a bald spot because of the helmet. This is relevant because he practices his speeches and one-liners in front of a mirror. Now he may or may not be dead because some new big bad shot him twice in the helmet and he's shown falling down

Ugh. Just, ugh. I didn't buy it or anything. I download DC Comics now. I don't trust them with my money.

Just more bad characterization for Jason. He's a red head again and gah. Morrison obviously loves Damian too. *sigh*

GRANT MORRISON. WHAT. FUCK YOU.

[wierdbot]

Can we just unanimously agree that whatever Grant Morrison writes doesn't count/isn't canon? Or, alternatively, that Bruce didn't die in Final Crisis and Batman and Robin isn't actually happening?

Because, seriously. Why? Everything was fine (or at least plausible/understandable/not totally mind-boggling/not completely shitting all over his character) for Jason until Battle for the Cowl and then we're given suddenly!very insane?

What's with that red hair? They retconned that shit out over twenty years ago. Now they're retconning it back in? What is with the speeches? That's not how Jason gives speeches to criminals before he shoots them in the head. He isn't a complete cliche. And seriously, if he wanted to be Red Hood again, his old costume was fine, why did he have to switch the bobble head for the test tube?

I want an explanation for this shit.

Evidently, whatever Grant Morrison is smoking has become too much. Someone get that man to rehab.

Re: GRANT MORRISON. WHAT. FUCK YOU.

[shiny_glor_chan]

Well, there might be multiverse loophole? Someone has guessed that Jason hasn't been seen since Countdown, and another Earth's Jason took his place, hence the weirdness. I like this idea. And I've heard Morrison likes the multiverse concept, so maybe it could happen..? *sighs* If not, I'll make it one of my fic plots at some point...

Re: GRANT MORRISON. WHAT. FUCK YOU.

[wierdbot]

YES. TAKE IT AND RUN BB.

This will now be my canon. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

I can stop freaking out now.
