I've seen people speculating that Jason is "betraying" Damian by secretly giving information to Batman. That would fit together with the solicitation of Teen Titans #26 where Damian and the rest of the Teen Titans break into the Batcave. Maybe to find out if his father has a secret informant?
But I don't like the theory. It sounds like Jason is trying to be daddy's good little boy. I could understand that Jason doesn't want Damian to have the same complicated relationship with Bruce like he has, but especially Jason should also take the view that Damian needs to find his own way in life. In particular his own moral code that Damian can believe in and stand by. And if Jason thinks that Damian is crossing a line he shouldn't (because Jason believes for example that Damian would regret it later on) then Jason should be capable enough to step in and put a stop to it. No Batman needed.
Ah, Jason. Ran out of candy for the munchkins. And now they're like baby ducks, following him wherever.
Is the first kid dressed as a villain too?
I read Teen Titans #23 and Jason didn't have an appearance. But it was still a nice read.
Interesting answers
https://www.newsarama.com/42366-new-...direction.htmlNrama: Well, I can’t say he’s wrong. But you know, one of the other drastic changes is that, in the past, Dick was always the more upbeat, fearless Robin, and that carried over into his role as Nightwing. But now, he feels a little more like Jason Todd in some ways—detached from the world and more comfortable around outcasts (and, dare we say it, outlaws?). Scott, have the similarities come to mind as you’re writing both characters? Or are there more differences?
Lobdell: I think Jason remembers every slight, every mistake, every act of violence whether committed by him or upon him. I think he is driven alternately and equally by rage, revenge and redemption. He is acutely aware of every busted and put back together again relationship with any of the other bats. And he feels his life was a disaster almost from the day he was born into poverty by his drug dealing father and his addict mother.
Nicieza: That was the one thing I had to feel my way through as I started helping out with the script. Scott really nails Jason well in his answer, I can only assume that in writing the character for what seems like 15 years he might have picked up a clue along the way. Differentiating Ric from Jason became a lot easier by the time I started working on #52. Just took a little bit of understanding Ric's headspace better.
Still hilarious that people consider them alike because of hairstyles or because they happen to be at a bar.
They are really pushing the Ric name for Blankslate Amnesiac Dick, eh? It's not going to stick, but, well, they can still try.
It really makes me happy that Lobdell has a take on Jason than align so much to my own. But I'm a bit confused by the 15 years of writing him. I guess Nicieza just mixed dates for the character. He came back in 2004, which sort of is almost 15 years, but Lobdell has been writing him since 2011, right?
I have to read that interview. I'm curious, I want to know what they have in mind for Nightwing.

Anyway, read the interview. I think Lobdell summarized the difference between Jason and current Dick pretty well.
What he said about Jason specifically, well I think Jason's gonna hold a grudge against Kate. Bruce was lucky to get a pass for the favor he did in #27.

Oh, that makes sense, I guess. The joke flew over my head completely.
Edit: I finaly read the interview. It was a fun interview, wow. And it gave a lot of info and insight to what they have in mind. I think they have a very pretty clear idea about how they see the character and what they want to tell with this story (which was something very in line with one of the things I hoped they would do). I still don't know what to make of this Nightwinges in plural stuff, but, the other bits were promising.
Edit2: nevermind. I read NW #51 too. Now I've got where these Nitghtwings are coming from.
