Azzarellos' take on Jason is certainly at odds with the way he's being handled in the main continuity mainly due to not being in good terms with Bruce but since is an Elseworld that is a minor flaw. And even if it weren't an elseworld is still heads and shoulders better than Zdarsky's take on Urban Legends.

Well, there's a difference between a vigilante who extra-judicially takes on drug-dealers and serial killers, and someone who participates in a siege on the Capitol due to political reasons.

Never mind that it has historically been a title with a political slant. Originally Posted by HsssH

That said, it probably won't be the end of him as a good guy. Hawk survived running guns for the contras, and trying to sterilize Mexico City.
