Preview for Batman & Robin #23

The preview for B&R #23 is up at The Source





So he's going to look like a ginger Sawyer from Lost in this arc, apparently. I'm hoping against hope that Bruce actually answers Jason's questions about death sincerely, and then they bond by reminiscing about the process of resurrection. :D

when you look at how he acted even as Robin, Arkham was probably the only place he could go.

What.

Believe it or not, I echo that question!

Haha, thanks, Icon :)

From what I've read of Jason, he took a lot more pleasure in hurting the criminals he fought, even more so than Bruce, even at his worst.

That's not really a sign of mental illness though... at least not on it's own. I do think he *was* acting/talking like someone quite unstable at the end of Morrison's arc though.

Plus he was yelling about resurrecting Bruce and stuff, which would sound completely delusional to someone who's not familiar with DC's Facts of Death.

True, it isn't on it's own...but being violently resurrected from the grave, being clinically braindead for some years and then getting thrown in the Lazarus Pit (which has a side-effect of temporary insanity) probably pushed him deep over the edge.

That's anger management (and has been retroactively amped up since his demise) not grounds for incarceration in an asylum.

Jason as Robin did not belong in Arkham. He did take things too far, but he also did a lot of heroic things. If anything, Bruce took him in because he was concerned he was going to end up in prison, not in an insane asylum.

Question: do you believe Damian as Robin belongs in Arkham?
