What really breaks me about Jason's death is that it was his own mother who sold him out.
The very woman Jason had spent weeks tracking down, the last person he had left of his family. Jason, who was so loving and caring and just needed that mother figure in his life. And obviously, after she served her "purpose" to the Joker, he tried to kill her, and Jason - half dead already, beaten to a bloody pulp - still tried to save her! He still tried to save this woman, who sold him out for cash, who fully knew he was hoing to die at fifteen years of age, who only began to regret it when her own life was at risk.
He still tried to save her. Because he was a hero. He was Robin, and he'd be damned if someone died on his watch. He didn't spend his last moments waiting for Batman to show up - he was desperately trying to get his mother out, get her to safety, to do the good right thing.
And he still died.
He did everything right, and it still wasn't good enough.

If Jason's still, you know, alive and relatively well after gotham war I want him to go absolutely wild. Like murder spree unhinged, batman (idc if he's "not himself") did something absolutely horrible and so fucking disturbing which will hopefully destroy any form of relationship they have.
I want him to go oh I'm not scared anymore? Neat, I will now murder 300 people! Might as well give batman a reason to be like ohh you bad person you awful murder son I was right in robbing you of your ability to fucking function oh how despicable.
Just, idk. Of all the things they've done to his character this is really up there in making me angry but also disturbed. Like holy shit if the constant victim blaming and characterizing him as hilariously incompetent wasn't enough now they do this. I really hope this gets resolved in a way that makes some sense and doesn't destroy his character even further.
