    This is a really cool shift, I like how everyone is handling the shift and Jason just kind of getting bored and wandering off cos Tim doesn't put up much of a fight amuses me for some reason XD

      Jason's confused! He went into that looking for a fight and with a lot of assumptions about what happened. He thinks Bruce intentionally replaced him with a rich kid. Jason thinks Tim is lying to him, which makes him angry again, but then he doesn't know what to do when the fight is not nearly as fun as he was predicting

        Sorry I know that, but it was funnier to say that XD Also yeah it makes sense that his replacement basically being his opposite would nettle extra hard, I always like seeing that played into, especially when the comics bore it out to an extent which was, ugh, but addressing classism can be fun/horrifying

        Jason: How am I meant to get emotional catharsis from this if you won't even try to hurt me!?

          It is funnier to say that way! Jason makes a lot of assumptions about just why Tim would be chosen. (Also there is so much to fight about classism, and how one person's trauma doesn't overwhelm someone else's experiences, and so much to talk about that Jason is in no place to understand

          [Jason: How am I meant to get emotional catharsis from this if you won't even try to hurt me!?] Exactly! Jason wanted this to be a satisfying figh. He doesn't want to feel like a bad guy after breaking into a house to demand a fight after (from Jason's POV) Robin keeps avoiding him

            Hehe, thanks! Indeed, and if one follows the comic/writers directly... Well he's not strictly wrong, even if it likely wasn't intended, but I can see why it would mess him up, the street rat replaced by a Gotham Prince.

              Jason had all his initial information about Tim through Talia (I don't know which storyline it was but I've seen panels). Talia definitely was presenting things toward her own agenda, whatever she was going for. (I occasionally interact with comics but make no guarantees on accuracy)

                Same on the occasional interaction, I've probably read more comics in the past couple of months than in my whole life and even then its only a handful, but yeah that all works well.
