There's a little ":(" in there too, since Jason gives up the memory to go into the Chamber of All and tells the person who grabbed it that he can keep it. So I don't think Jason no longer has that memory.
Still waiting to see how Damian came to be in DCnU if he's still Bruce's son with Talia and he still had Dick, Jason, and Tim as Robins early in his crime-fighting career.
I felt so many feelings at this part fjldskjfl. It was so good to see the softer side of the Bruce and Jason relationship, when all anyone thinks about when they hear Jason Todd is a big crowbar. I got fuzzy in so many ways.
I also LOVED Starfire's memory. Say what you want about her, but anyone who's that badass at ~10 years old is just plain awesome. I'm so happy with her characterization in this issue; they're finally bringing back our ass kicking alien princess.
This issue in general was really good. Glad I stuck with it even after that awful first issue.
Although I can't help but think up a bad scenario to go with that.
Bruce: Taking a night off once in a while isn't a crime, Jason. So, what are we watching? *turns on tv* Tv announcer: There was a massive breakout at Arkham Asylum tonight and Commissioner Gordon was taken hostage along with a bus full of orphans and nuns. 28 minutes ago, we recieved a message from the Joker saying that if Batman doesn't show up within 30 minutes, all the hostages will be killed. Batman, where are you? Why have you forsaken us? Bruce: MOTHER F#@$#@$ING @#@*S!
I do, too. You can tell that they really did love each other. And still do. It's sad that Jay choose to let this memory go but I doubt it's the only good one he has of Bruce.
Batman always wearing this Jim Lee-esque costume in all points of his carreer is starting to annoy me and bother me.. I mean, didn't the Dark Knight ever use nor produce any other costumes??
Yeah, there's a sort of reluctance to accept that comics can be blatantly absurd to the designs.
Batman wore a cloth outfit and the early Robin's outfit redefined "improbable superhero gear". Retconning in some impossibly streamlined and flexible body armour I don't mind, but making everything line-etched body armour from the outset is just... taking the whole thing too damn seriously for my tastes.
This is a cute memory (though from the sounds of it, kind of tragic that he gives it up). But to me, this whole scene is...overdrawn, I guess I'd call it. It seems...I dunno...too busy. The costumes are a big part of it.
Also, I just have a hard time imaging that Alfred would call a TV a 'telly'. Seems, I dunno, too Cockney.

I'm curious, are you British yourself? Because as a Brit I think "telly" sounds perfectly feasible coming from Alfred. It's not a word associated particularly with cockneys, at least. And I should know, since my grandmother's one.
