Dinah, who somehow got roped into being the batfam counselor: And why did no one explain to Jason that the Joker was nearly killed twice by the two people he originally called family and only third party interference stopped him from permanently dying, not only giving the young man closure but also opening a line of communication???
Bruce and Dick trying very hard not to look at a bewildered Jason: It just never came up.
Damian no
Jason: my traumas, my jokes
*Tim being thrown back in time and deciding to not get attached to past versions of his family*
Also Tim: *somehow ends up with baby Jason following him around like a duckling*
Tim: ...well fuck

I don't think Tim would kill the Joker, not even after Joker Junior.
I do, however, think he could manipulate someone else into it and retain the moral high ground, instead. After all, if someone else does it and he doesn't directly tell then to- well that was their decision, and he need not worry.
Tim, to Shiva: yeah but loads of people have defeated The Bat at this point. Just look at the Joker. I mean, Joker's basically unkillable. There's not a single assassin or vigilante or hero that could kill him. He just keeps on living and causing chaos.
Shiva: I cluld
Tim: no, no you really can't. But it's OK! Lots of people can't! It would take only the best to kill Joker. I mean sure, a LoA member might be able to...
Shiva: I will.
Tim, shrugging: whatever! You can do what you want but don't say I didn't warn you...
A week later, Joker's dead and Tim is biting back a grin as Bruce glares at them all.
Bruce: "Alright, who did it?"
Nightwing: you need to face it, B, it wasn't any of us.
Bruce, glaring at Tim: the wounds looked similar to that of a bo staff-
Tim, rolling his eyes: I was busy at Joker's ToD. Besides. I'm the best, but not the only bo staff user in the world. Lady Shiva rivals me as well- could have been her.
Bruce, scowl deepenign: and how exactly do you know Joker's ToD?
Tim points at the screen, wordlessly. The phrase "Time of Death: 22:19" were written in bold.
Bruce grimaced. : and what exactly where you doing? I don't believe you were with us which gives you no alabi-
Tim: I was with Bernard.
Bruce: doing what?
Tim: Bernard.
Steph snorts in response.
Steph: let it go, B. Clearly it wasn't any of us. Maybe some assassin with a grudge took him out- honestly, we should be celebrating!
Jason cheers in the background and starts grabbing the most expensive bottles from Bruce's alcohol collection.
Bruce: who are you? A new crime lord?
Jason: *takes off his helmet*
Bruce: *squints suspiciously* a new crime lord who looks like a grown up version of my dead son?
Jason: *sighs in annoyance and forces a bright smile*
Bruce: JASON THE NEW CRIME LORD???
Jason as a theatre kid means so much to me, so I am here to share a slightly related concept with you - Jason, who helps a small theatre group in local Crime Alley school.
It is obviously nothing grand. The school itself is quite poor, barely functionating, but it is here somehow nowadays, and a small group of five kids are so enthusiastic about the whole thing! They don't have anything else, though, so when Jason notices them, he decides... to help them out. He is great with sewing and stuff, so at first, he starts helping them with making costumes. Then, slowly, he helps them more with others things - scripts of their staging, lighting, decorating. He suggests different plays, reads it with them to see, who is interested. And soon other kids start to get interested, too! Even the ones that skipped the school, deciding to give up on a very poor education system there. Jason inspires them.
(And Red Hood starts sponsoring a school; some of his goons turn out to have a very old teaching licence that they give up, because being an honest man with a work wasn't much of a choice, but that's beside the point.)
And that's how Alley of Crime gets their own theatre with a bunch of talented kids.
Imagine the absolute horror Jason would feel upon finding out Tim had spent THREE weeks with the Joker. Jason was with him for less than 24 hours, and bro is traumatised for life. He can only imagine what it was like for Tim in those weeks alone with the Joker.
Plus, the guilt that Jason would feel because of how he treated Tim in the beginning.
Never mind what he would say to Bruce. Jason was mad after the Joker killed him, and he thought that Batman would have killed the Joker for him. He forgave him because he thought it was one time, but two Robins, two sons? That is unacceptable. He would have torn Bruce a new one.
Why have I never heard of this before?
