Hey, if he did it with Jason's corpse, he can do it to an unconscious Dick...

And rereading that last sentence makes me wonder why my innuendometer didn't EXPLODE before I'd even finished typing.

Well, at least my brain did scream deafening loud when noticing the stripping part...=_=

[megami18]

Mine did.

....This is the part I don't get. Leaving a dying son to unknown fate is totally different from mourning a dead son. I just don't get why every time they need dark, they just shove everybody involve to an OOC dark road.

It makes perfect sense that he would remove it, but I always wonder what he was supposed to have done with the remains of Jason's costume in DITF. Hidden them under a rock or something? And then how did he manage to pass Jason's death off as a simple accident? "So my adopted son was just hanging out in this explosives-filled warehouse, with his mother, in his underwear. Yeah." I think if I were an investigating officer that scenario would make me pretty suspicious.

As I remember, they did somewhat tell the truth--Jason used Bruce's resources to try to find his biological mother and he got captured by The Joker.

The story Bruce circulated was based on the truth, that Jason was visiting his newly discovered birth mother (who was an aid worker doctor) and was murdered by the Joker as an incidental casualty.

Given his proximity to the bomb and the fire, there would probably be little clothing actually left. the green undershirt would be fair enough, the matching green undies would just be underwear, the rest would be shredded or burned. It's not like anyone was expecting to find robin there,

I got the TPB in front of me...Bruce stated he removed the identifyable parts of the costume...not the whole thing

[whitesycamore]

Really? I don't remember anyone ever mentioning the Joker directly; even Superman just says that he heard Jason was killed in an Ethiopean warehouse fire.

I considered that most of Jason's clothing would probably be destroyed by the bomb, but then you've got Sheila who looks almost completely unscathed with even her perfect 40's coif still intact. I guess it's just another case of the art failing to match the story.

I don't have my copy of ADitF immediately to hand, but Sheila tells Batman that Jason's last act was to try and shield her from the blast by putting himself between the bomb and her, so her being a little less damaged, and him being a lot MORE damaged ties in with that.

I don't think the Joker's involvement in the explosion was ever a secret, and it was mentioned (again IIRC) in the Gotham Knights story about Jason's death.
