The thing is, even IF the bat-like tech was a legitimate piece of evidence and most certainly NOT just a false trail, that's still not enough evidence to automatically find specifically Jason as guilty, so far there's nothing directly linking him to Leviathan. No direct evidence whatsoever. The only thing presented to link Jason was that he was currently grieving for Roy and that that would be probable cause or a suspected motive and without any other substantial evidence, that's feels a little weak.

There's literally nothing but character history that's fueling this suspicion, there's not even enough circumstantial evidence. And whilst its honestly understandable in suspecting that Jason may have something to do with this justice movement that Leviathan is leading, and keeping an eye on him. I don't think it really warranted this dramatic 'gang up on em' reaction just yet.

There's wasn't even a question of IF he did it, everyone just leap to conclusions with remarks and convictions like you're clearly grieving, that's why you've done this, and immediately demanding to know Where Babs and Waller are?

It feels like they went from 'hmmm, well he does have a morally grey background with a dissonant sense of justice, he could be capable of this sort of plan.' to 'THAT'S HIM! GET EM BOYS!', real quick.

This abrupt conclusion, lends itself to the 'Jason is just a Red Herring' theory, and maybe it will come up in the next issue but I feel like Bendis could have at least added a little more credibility to the scenes and suspicions. Unless this is part of Bendis's plan and that the 'Jason is a red herring' section of the story is actually a red herring to deter people from realizing that Jason is actually Leviathan.
