[QUOTE=kaimaciel;4170869]Se7en joke, when Brad Pitt screams "what's in the BOX?!"[/QUOTE]
Lol in another thread I had asked if I was the only one hearing Pitt's voice saying that anytime someone mentioned "the box". Guess I wasnt...
As for the box,
[spoil]to me it seems like it may be something Bruce had for safekeeping with Jason's knowledge, not something he has been holding onto to use against Jason. Jason actually says Batman wouldn't stoop so low as to do that. [/spoil] I kind of expect to be underwhelmed by its revelation in the end though...
[QUOTE=Sergard;4170772][SPOIL]My guess at least would be that in the box is something very personal to Jason that can hurt him emotionally, not physically like Damian probably thinks. Maybe the content is connected to Jason thinking that he hasn't a soul.[/SPOIL][/QUOTE]
That's what I speculated in the Damian thread, too.

In this box he has something to use against Jason...
[spoil]
Something related with Jason parents?[/spoil]

Well the way I see it,
it is either a "physical" weapon -which is highly doubtful, though if it is then it would suggest Jason isn't %100 plain old human, because if there is something out there specificly harmful to a single person than I would guess there is something "more" to them than a "normal" human being? or it is something that can hurt him emotionally... which doesnt make much sense because it seems [spoil]Jason already knows what is in it, so the box being opened and its contents revealed shouldn't be such earthshattering... it could be that he knows what the thing in it is about and that it is hurtful, just not what the "details" it entails are... which should still Mean he wont be totally blindsided, he can brace himself for it so shouldn't be something that can completely take him down on the spot? [/spoil]

Thanks for the clarification. :)
I have a new theory about Jason's threat:
[spoil]Jason knew that The Other set them up against one another and suspected that The Other probably was watching their fight to see the outcome. So Jason gave him something to watch and to let him think that Jason and Damian are going separate ways from now on.
At least I don't think that this was Jason's last appearance in Teen Titans. Especially not with introducing "the box". I highly doubt that Glass created the box so that someone else can reveal its secret in another title.
I'd also like to know how Jason got all his information about the Other so far. He was Damian's only informant. Seems to be pretty hard to find any information about that person(?).[/spoil]

[SPOIL]Right, on one hand it's unlikely to be a weapon to take Jason down, but if a supernatural thing, then Lobdell can tie it up with the 'lack of soul' thing that he's been hinting at for a long time. That said, doesn't seem more important than the whole crusade if it only concerns his safety and mystical nature, unless this thing can turn Jason into a weapon that harm others. On the other hand, emotional weapons always tend to hurt Jason more. But then why have it in a box if he already knows what's inside?[/SPOIL]
Could be too that Damian meant to destroy the Box contents. Jason said that, at least for him, those contents were more important that (Bruce's) crusade.

[SPOIL]If there's indeed a degree of collaboration between Lobdell and Glass, the box might be passed on to Lobdell to take care of. Knowing Lobdell's tendency to reference relevant stuff in other titles, it's likely he wouldn't leave this one out.[/SPOIL]
The problem with the "box" is, if it is that crucial and important and harmful... I don't see Alfred or Bruce just letting Damian to take it with him to face Jason... Alfred interfered, yes, and pretty much let Damina go with a "you are wrong about this young man". I don't expect Alfred to try and get into a physical fight with Damian but I also don't think he would keep it a secret and not inform Bruce if this is such a major issue...
This is why, although I am intrigued by it, I expect to be eventually let down by what the box contains and go "this is what the whole fuss was about?"
[spoil]I don't think it can be something that will turn Jason into a weapon, as makes no sense for Damian to bring in something that can make Jason more formidable a foe. I think what is in the box is clearly meant to hurt Jason somehow or influence him in a certain way...
and really wish they avoid going the "lacks a soul" thing. If memory serves they did that with White Canary in the Arrow series so would be a copy of that but more than that if they go the "box contains a weapon" route than basically this is a vampire story. Resurrected? Check. Lacks a soul? Check. Can be killed with a special weapon? Check. Creative? Cross out... [/spoil]

[SPOIL]I think it's also possible that Damian had the wrong idea about what the box supposedly can do.
Whether the box plays a part in Jason's story going forward, the "lack of a soul" has already seemingly been a plot point in waiting for a long time. Back in the N52 Jason capable of learning some mystical arts kinda indicative of him having a bit of supernatural side. In Rebirth the lack of soul thing iirc has been hinted at about 3 times or so.[/SPOIL]
I'd like to point out that, judging by the solicitations of the upcoming TT and Deathstroke crossover, this will be the second time within a year that Slade and Jason don't meet because Slade goes to prison and Jason doesn't.
That's fast.

Jason and Damian are definitely hardcore enough to put on a show and beat the crap out of each other to fake out an "all-seeing-monitor" style super-villain.
On Reddit, someone suggested that the box content could be Jason's most cherished memory, the one he gave away in the old RHatO run.
I don't know why and how this memory should be in the mystery box (and I'd actually prefer the content to be something else that better fits all the in-story reactions shown so far). But I like the thought of Jason having this memory back. It's such a heartwarming moment with Bruce.
