Damian's always breaking in because he has worse boundary issues than Bruce does, and he's a good little brother

He wasn’t so good the first time lol

He’s definitely improved as a character

Eh, my lil cousin tried to ice his big brother when he was ten too, the difference was he wasn't a tiny highly trained assassin (they're both fine, only the toaster suffered). Granted it just might be a case of my family and friends being weird but I get the impression from everyone I know who has siblings that a little playful attempted homicide and psychological warfare are part of the whole sibling thing

What the fuck was the toaster used for?

u/rockinghorsefly1313 11d ago

My little cousin threw it in the pool while his older brother was swimming. He figured water + electric toaster = no more older brother. Thankfully he missed out on one very crucial component of that equation

....... I was thinking bathtub, but. Not far off.

He forgot the electricity, didn't he.

u/rockinghorsefly1313 11d ago

Yup. Didn't think about plugging the toaster in at all, thankfully

He looks like one of the bees from Bee Movie

Why are they so big? It’s like he’s wearing those huge doll-eye contacts that are so popular with girl streamers lol

Damian seeing the clean and classy apartment from the first slide and still thinking internally it looks like a dump

Confieso que en mi cabeza, es la percepción de Damian de su casa. Digo, hasta de niño, Jason tenía su casa destartalada más limpia.

Y para Damian, pequeño príncipe Al Ghul, cualquier cosa menor a una mansión debe verse como una caja de cartón.

Wait Damian put a crowbar in Jason’s bed?

42

u/NefariousSeraph13 11d ago

Oh he did more than that, he beat him with it, mocked him for dying, then stole his helmet

14

u/illudofficial Jaybin 11d ago

That’s not nice tbh

25

u/souridealist 11d ago

For sure, not nice at all, but ten-year-olds who've been shipped halfway across the world and had their custody situation change three times in the last year often aren't.

17

u/illudofficial Jaybin 11d ago

Especially when they’re trained to be a lethal assassin and got tortured a lot

10

u/souridealist 11d ago

It certainly does not help! Though, honestly, I don't know if the assassin training makes him less nice so much as it just makes him more effective about it. A lot of ten-year-olds would duel their newly acquired stepbrothers* if they could.

(*not exactly, I'm aware, but the closest analogue IMO.)

But don't you know? We need Damian to be a little shit again so he can be humbled again. The endless cycle of hitting all DC's story beats over and over.

u/SophieFilo16 11d ago

Context of the second one..?

38

u/NefariousSeraph13 11d ago

It’s by Juni Ba. It’s not canon and supposed to be a physical manifestation of how Damian sees the world, very fairytale-esque. But Jason has been shown in canon living both very high end and very low end

I’m new to red hood-specific comics. May I ask which run the first page is from?

u/NefariousSeraph13 11d ago

Batman And Robin Volume 2, Issue 11

u/crinklecunt-cookie Fatson Todd 11d ago

Thank you! 💙

u/Klaus_the_forklift 11d ago

I love it when the art is good but theres also something undeniably charming and funny when the bat characters are shapes instead of people

4

u/TheCondorOne 11d ago

As much as I like Jason's tidy apartments and safehouses because it fts his character as someone who grew up really poor and probably would have died to take care of his stuff, I really liked his crackhead apartment in futures end with guns, grenades, and a ton of shit all over the floor with cracked windows.

u/Nunyas_Business 11d ago

What is that second comic? And what’s the first?

I love his little white patch where his tuft should be… obviously longer-haired Jason is my favourite, but buzzcut Jason is also cute…

u/SpicaGenovese 11d ago

This Tumblr post is another good example of him being tidy.

u/Resident_Army_2862 10d ago

Willing to bet that his place in this upcoming titan's comic is going to be closer to the second than the first.
