Jason Todd: Robin, Red Hood, Arkham Knight Appreciation 2020

[RedBird]

Ha, pretty close.

I've noticed Jason has red marks over his body, this is kind of leaning into what I thought would happen with issue 2, which was that Jason would stumble across another Joker, get beat, and that Babs would save him, I guess probably leading to this moment of him stripped down and Babs by his side?

Also Babs eyes are open, implying perhaps surprise? I wonder if this is something Jason initiates with Babs pushing him away in the next scene. Considering it's the only leaked panel that seems pretty likely too.

But she's the one holding his hands, not the other way. Seems like an intimate moment going to certain places to me.

I know, my assumption was still that she was already holding his hand and comforting him, when he initiates the kiss.

Hmmm... could be the case. But I don't think there would make much of a difference in the context. They didn't tease any of them liking the other in issue 1, did they?

Nope, not that I recall. All the more reason for why my assumption was that it's a spur of the moment thing from Jasons end, due to Babs comforting him.

But anyway, all random speculations aside, I'm just curious to see if there is a story reason behind this moment.

Are the spoilers confirmed? It is weird that the preview isn't mentioned on the spoilers.

I'm gonna go with a spur of the moment/chaotic circumstances that led up to that.

It's the whole naked except towel thing, Babs. Understandable.

It's like some weird self correcting paradox.

That doesn't make it any better, and arguably, is actually worse.

It's like some weird self correcting paradox.

Or more like Johns have absolutely zero idea of how to write these characters and is instead just using the laziest things possible to artificially create hype for his story with no regard to the characters' actual characterization.

Well, this was an unnecessary discussion.
I hope whoever uploaded the first panel had a lot of fun reading all the reactions.


On a different note, Dexter Soy has posted a page from - what looks like - Tales from the Dark Multiverse - Batman: Hush.
