I think it’s quite telling how each superhero franchises choose to portray their supporting characters. The Howling Commandos in CA1 and the Warriors Three in Thor1 are all characterized as soldiers with talents for battle, be it bombs and sniper’s bullets or swords and axes.
DCEU chooses the complete opposite approach for the supporting cast of WW. with Sammy who loves acting and never wanted to be a soldier, with Charlie who sings and could not shoot, and with Chief who cherishes freedom above all else. It is in line with DCEU’s consistent theme to NOT GLORIFY battle and violence. This is one of the many reasons why I would always prefer DCEU.
I’m quite happy how it turned out. The middle is a little plain, and I could have added a little padding, but I like the couched wool in the green background. Of the banners of the three houses of the Edain, this is the most elvish in terms of it’s symmetry, but also very not elvish, because of the relative plainness of it’s shapes.
Basically in Mike W. Barr’s Detective Comics they pretty
much ignored all the DARK AND EDGY junk that was starting to seep into other
Batman comics, They had “adult” elements like acknowledging that Bruce had issues and more realistic crimes and serious murderous threats and stuff, but they also had a dash of camp, were way more upbeat than most comics Jason was in and he was a LOT happier in general. Bruce was also a generally good role model.
This was all mostly roughly around the time Jason got his
new origin and stopped being a Dick Grayson Clone backstorywise, so it is canon
for the modern version of him, it seems (especially since there’s references to
his former “life of crime” and issues with Two Face towards the end of this
run), and I don’t really think it contradicts too much. Even in the more “zomggrimdarkcomics”
of the day Jason had a very strong happy and cute side, his default ISN’T angry, he just
happens to be very emotional. And this was all before his FAITH IN THE SYSTEM!!! was broken too.
Anyways, basically Jason’s entire role in these comics was to Be SUPER
ADORABLE all the time.
aND Bruce’s role was to be a total nerd dad.
Bruce: WE CAN’T MAKE OUT RIGHT NOW SELINA MY KID IS RIGHT
HERE!!!!
Selina: okay you’re weird maybe I’ll date someone else.
Jason in the background: …
But anyway I love this art Jason is so tiny and cute?
SO TINY!!!!
SASSY GAY SON
And Bruce Wayne: Actual Good Dad
BRUCE TELLING JASON HE SHOULD BE RESPECTFUL OF WOMEN NO MATTER THEIR PROFESSION AND IT DOESN’T MATTER IF THEY’RE SEX WORKERS? REALLY GREAT? (also yes this was back when he said “chum” a lot, I kind of wish he still did that sometimes)
Bruce sees that Jason is upset about not being able to help
so tries to make it clear it’s okay and gives him cake!!! Really cute!!!
Aw friend hahaah I def saw the title as homage and not irony 🙂
Yay! And that I can’t un-link Nienna from Mary. Btw, the former warg is going to work as a therapy dog for Nienna, having switched her allegiance over to that Valar.
