"Steph is the only reasonable person here" is a theme of this story because Steph DESERVES to be known as the reasonable person. She's pragmatic-chaotic and I love it. My dad's a supervillain? Let's mess up his day by running around in a DIY hero getup.
Tim and Jason were having very, VERY different conversations. (Jason also thinks that Tim is lying and gets himself all riled up thinking the new Robin's being a coward, which, oops. Jason is operating on some outdated information and also a lot of "any emotion that is too confusing to process just turns into rage" because Jason was been trying to sort out this fight for so long. Just imagine Jason planning the Titans Tower attack riiiiight when Robin stopped fighting with the Titans. So he tries to find Robin on patrol, but Robin isn't on patrol. Then there aren't any hints of Robin anywhere separate from Batman (because Bruce is hyper-protective of a brand-new Robin and no one will change my mind). So Jason's not at his best/calmest here
Then Tim makes a lot of "Tim no" decisions because it's so much fun to make everybody yell at Tim "survival instincts of a wet paper bag" Drake
Steph as the ground, rational pragmatist who is also a chaotic, scrappy ball of righteous fury is ideal.
She'd also amazingly not twig most of Jason's implied complexes that Tim did given she's also from the shitty side of Gotham, is pissed off at crime and argues with Batman which always amuses me XD
