I saw this in several appreciation threads. Figure this would be a good time to put it here as well. And hey, you can actually keep negative comments about the characters to yourself.

DC Forum Appreciation Thread rules:

1) No negative comments about the honoree(s) of this thread. It's an appreciation thread, not a non-appreciation one.

2) No negative discussion about any competitors of the honoree(s) of this thread. No ifs, ands, or buts. Find another non-appreciation thread to do that, just not here.

3) No negative comments about other versions of the character. For example, if you like the DCU version of Cyborg, but hate the DCnU version (or visa versa), just appreciate the earlier version and keep your comments about the latter to yourself.

This is adorable! They could call it Fang the Red Hound.

I wonder what happened to Sparky. Knowing the environment Jason grew up in, I don't think that poor little dog had a long happy life that ended by dying peacefully of old age.

Where is this from?

My favorite "music" scene with Jason is from Batman #412 when he listens to a Heavy Metal version of "Sound of Silence" after he and Batman defeated a mime. The issue even states that Jason hates mimes.
Batman does not seem so thrilled by the music.

Let's do something slightly different. Let's talk about music.

I was dealing with some personal stuff and decided to open my Spotify and hear some music. I usually are more like a grunge person, but I wasn't on the right mood for it. So I decided to put some album I dearly love and is more energetic (maybe because I saw someone else hearing it today in other place too. Maybe not), and I was throughout the second track, thinking about selecting some of them for the playlist for my fanfic, when I just though; I think this is some rather fitting music for Jason. Not as much as him hearing it, but as the music being right for him as a character soundtrack.

What do you people think would fit him as a character? Both ways: as his taste and as his own meta-soundtrack.

I find Back in Black by AC/DC rather suitable for Jason.

Man Down and Immortal
I think this fits Jason pretty well tbh

Narcissist Cannibal, the lyrics really fit Jason and Bruce's relationship.

[Aahz]

Based on his original origin, he was into Poison Idea.

I imagine that his taste is somewhere between Alternative Rock and Heavy Metal.
My meta-soundtrack for Jason is actually "Alive" by Sia.
And I have to think of Jason when I listen to "The Phoenix" by Fall Out Boy. But that's less because of the lyrics and has more to do with the title. I once read a discussion on tumblr about a new vigilante name for Jason in the theoretically case that he ditches the Red Hood mantle. And "Phoenix" was one of the discussed options. And that somehow stuck in my head.

Ooh, here's a good one. My Way by Frank Sinatra.

Is anyone here picking up the RHATO Omnibus?

Not me. I cannot even buy the trades right now. I have had to put my purchases on hold. But I saw it: I hope it sells good.
