Batman, explaining The Batman Who Laughs to his sidekicks: So, essentially, he's an amalgam of me and the Joker, however, because he's from the Dark Multiverse and thus actually an embodiment of the worst of my fears about myself, my capabilities, and the capabilities of the Joker, he's not actually bound by the same physical and mental limitations of either me or the Joker. In fact, he's not even bound by the same laws of physics as we are, and his continued presence in this universe--
Jason, who stopped listening .00002 seconds after hearing 'an amalgam of me and the Joker':
after the whole reconciliation with jason thing, dick quickly learns that he just CANNOT say certain things around him anymore, ex:
"god it would make things so much easier if _____ just died"
(2 hours later jason comes back and drops an inconspicuous "i don't think _____ will cause you trouble anymore)
or
"i wish someone would knock some sense into _____"
dick, patrolling later on realises, that particular person hasn't caused any trouble around the city for a few days, and asks jason about it, to which he gets a:
"oh i got some goons to go issue him a 'warning'."
jason is the exact kind of crazy where he absolutely will collect a debt on a 3 month old grudge on some silly shit
bruce: jason...was this really necessary?
jason: i told you if you kept showing up unannounced there would be consequences.
bruce:consequences should not include you blowing your apartment sky high and dropping off the grid for 6 months.
jason: i mean...you say that, but it's feeling like you wont do that shit again.
bruce: i mourned you AGAIN! please stop...stop doing this.
jason: did you cry? and not like one manly tear cry -- i mean that disgusting, snotty,red faced ugly sobbing cry?
bruce:...
jason:...
bruce: yes
jason: lol
I thought it would be fun to see mayor CRY MEYHEHEHHEHEHHE (evil laugh thingy)
When tall-cel says something so monster pilled you have to hit them with the empty pipe stare
Jason: So.
Jason: How many murders did you refrain from committing today?
Damian: Thirty two.
Jason: Good for you.
Jason: Here, have a cookie.
