    I just saw what everyone is upset about in Three Jokers issue 2 and sorry but to be honest it doesn't really bother me.

    spoilers:
    I don't really see a problem with Babs and Jason hooking up or having sex or whatever it is they are doing. Does it really matter? Clearly Dick and Babs are not together, they have not been together in so very long. Yes I like Dick & Babs as a couple but they seem to have gone their separate ways, so I don't think it's a bad thing that her and Jason are connecting. Dick is in Bludhaven, away and most likely dating who knows who? So what is the problem with Babs moving on and getting with Jason or whom ever she wants?
    end of spoilers

    I don't think it should stop people from reading Three Jokers and loving it. I love it so far as they respect Batgirl and take her seriously and she is treated better in this book so far than her own comic book series.

    If Barbara had sex in this issue, it would be the first time she has a bed scene in comics with a character who isn't Dick, right?

    I mean, I know Barbara has boyfriends before and after her relationship with Dick, so I guess she has sex with other people, but I don't think we've never seen a bed scene for her in comics with another character.

    I think this is a reason why I stop to ship Barbara and Dick, since they've never have problems to show Dick in bed scenes with other people.

    In that continuity Jason was about 9 or 10 years younger than Barbara, and actually even younger than Cassandra.

    Unfortunately most writers fail to do proper research when it comes to writing Jason.
    Unclear. The backstory is extended to 10-15 years but Jason is still 15-16 yo when he first met Bruce, and while Dick's been shown taken to the Manor as a child, but every story with Robin Dick (excepting the homages of anniversary issues) is still showing him as a 15-16 yo including when he first saw Justice League in the Batcave and his first meeting with Barbara.

    So let's say they all happened then there's still only 2-3 years difference between Dick/Babs (who are still the same age) and Jason

    I don't read Red Hood, but since the Outlaws are disbanding I assume that relationship is over.

    Isn't Three Jokers set slightly in the past? Barbara's costume doesn't match either of her Rebirth/DC Universe era ones.

    The costume was chosen because it's darker and fits the tone better. No significance of time.

I kid but it's such a weak move to me but I'm not really digging this story anyway so meh(?) I guess.

    I like them together to be honest, I think there is a lot to explore and I hope it gets handled respectfully. But, I also get why people are upset. It's obvious that they circle Babs through the Robins (+Bruce) and with DC's insistence to kinda but not really push DickBabs it seems strange?

    Hard to say, we had imo also some flashbacks were Jason looked younger, and in the story in the 80 year Robin special he was look really young (but I'm not sure if that is supposed to be canon).

    It would also not make much sense for me when Dick and Ti get their histories restored but Jason keeps his much older new 52 starting age, I mean in pre flashpoint he was probably younger in Death in the family then he was in the new 53 when he became Robin.

    It isn't so clear if Dick has recover his starting age (even if he recovers New Teen Titans).

    All flashbacks for Dick as Robin in canon (not homage anniversary stories) uses his New52 Robin suit.

    DC wants Jason to be closer to Dick on age, because they don't want Jason on teen heroes age range (Tim and Damian are already in that age range).

    I knew this was what they were going to do.

    It's probably never going to leave this book so I'm not really all that invested in talking about it.

    I don’t think it’s possible to do respectfully because it’s inherently disrespectful.
    It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?

    Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

    Babs was very much a grown woman when Jason becomes Robin, we know this becuase dick is also an adult
    Them getting together is the same as Bruce and babs just odd
