Image 1, 2, 3- just found it interesting the paralel between Jason and Bruce as themselves and as Batman and Robin driving and jamming the radio, like foreshadowing. And i just love them as a team, it's so bittersweet. (Every team up between jason and bruce should be framed through this nostalgia lens as we saw in UTRH)

Image 4- of course there is an explosion 😭 this is unintentional forshadowing

Image 5- just that, they are so cute 🥰

That tiny mask.

This is a little different from the other outfit that I still have in the works but after I got my hair dyed, I thought you guys would like this. This fit is based on his Prince of Gotham look.

I know people think “oh that’s confusing” or “isn’t that bad for Jason” and my response is no, it’s actually incredibly important to his character. First things first, lots of characters in comics look similar to readers due to the nature of the medium. There were only so many options back in the day. One could argue Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are clones. (Sidenote: I have yet to hear complaints about Clark, Kon, Jon, and Prime being confusing like the complaints I hear about the Robins.) Jason and Dick looking alike is incredibly compelling to their characters. And they do look alike both in face and in build, it’s been acknowledged by Kory, Donna, Bruce, and even Dick and Jason themselves just to name a few. 

GK Rant -> Gotham Knights messed with Jason’s appearance so new people unfamiliar with the characters wouldn’t be confused due to their canon similarities. Dick was going to be the hot leader with pretty hair, so Jason was made into a rough hulking linebacker brawler. It’s painfully obvious why they changed Jason’s looks so much so it’s just that more unacceptable. They’re basically saying we’re too stupid to tell Dick and Jason apart if they didn’t alter Jason. They don’t need to be one hundred percent identical, slight variations in skin tone, hair style, eye color, give Jason his trauma streak. They also could have given Dick the buzzcut and face scar a la Ric. They could have changed both characters slightly instead they kept Dick comic accurate retaining his Hollywood good looks and gave Jason the short end of the stick. They have different voice actors and dress different and have different personalities! To people still confused it’s like when you meet twins in real life honestly. When you don’t know them you get them confused but when you know who they are it’s impossible to confuse them unless you actively don’t want to try and tell them apart. (Sidenote 2: I’d love it if more people latched onto Arkhamverse Tim the same way they have the J scar and bodybuilder frame for Jason. Make Tim Bald Again) In the comics, Jason also unfortunately gets a lot of bad artists that has scewed public opinion, but see them drawn by the same artist or on panel together and there’s no denying their similarities.

Anyways, Jason will ALWAYS be compared to Dick in a way Tim and Damian aren’t. Batman’s greatest success and Batman’s greatest failure are their public reputations. He and Dick are two sides of a coin, a strange mirrored reflection. The first Robin and the second Robin. Jason looking like Dick’s twin only adds to his story. So many Batman fans still consider Jason as a copy of Dick from his original origin as an acrobat from the circus. Jason wore Dick’s costume, learned his moves, made his puns, had his smile, and later even shared some of his friends. And can you imagine how that was for Dick? Seeing your former mentor/father/brother-figure that you have a broken relationship with adopt a near carbon copy version of you? Thinking he upgraded while the boy in question thinks he’s a replacement to fill a hole left by the missing original? And that is the key. Dick Grayson is thought of as the original. Jason Todd the copy, the clone, the bootleg, the second rate “we have Dick Grayson at home.” A stand in for the one true Robin loved by all. To see someone so similar and yet to be viewed so differently, to know no one who knew him first will ever see you for you but for who you aren’t, isn’t that an incredibly compelling story?

I Never noticed But how old was Jason throughout his life when he Met Bruce, Became Robin, Kidnapped By Joker, escaped and eventually Built His Militia, To Then Returning to Gotham cause that must have been a short timespan seeing how he had already replaced Jason just a few months after his supposed death?

Another Thing I have been pondering is his Pain and Bitterness towards Batman for basically in his mind forsaking him and replacing him making his life seem expandable and to low to none value to eventually team up with Scarecrow and Deathstroke and the rest of Gotham's Rouges just to punish and torture Batman.

❗️HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN???❗️

After three years of watching resale sites and scouring the internet as best I can—

(which is awfully difficult; does anyone else feel like it’s harder than it used to be to find things on the internet?)

—I have come to the conclusion that if I’m ever going to get my hands on the one variant I want more than anything, I’m going to have to start networking 😂

So here I am throwing up my first post. I guess I am putting out a call of sorts: does anyone have this Red Hood 1:50 incentive variant of Knight Terrors: Robin #2 (2023) by Jorge Corona? Alternatively, have you seen it at a shop near you? PLEASE let me know if you have seen it or have a copy you are at all willing to part with!

Obviously I am willing to pay a pretty penny for it; in fact I believe its companion (the Tim Drake variant of #1) is going for for a minimum of a hundred bucks rn. I do also have a small handful of cool titles/variants I would be willing to trade if that is more desirable to you for some reason.

Truthfully at this point I feel like I’d give my first born child to someone who could hook me up or even point me in the right direction, though for legal reasons that is a joke.

I’ll be posting in other communities more specific to trading eventually, but I don’t have any reputation yet and had to start somewhere. 😅

If you got this far, THANK you for reading all that!! stay cool ✌️✌️😙
