🌙 ha recensito Batman: Red Hood - The Lost Days di Judd Winick
good start for jason's antihero turn
4 stelle
some parts were baffling (like the unnecessary jason/talia sex scene, thanks dc) but all in all it's an ok miniseries about jason's return from the dead and subsequent evolution into an antihero. rest of this is copy/pasted from mastodon - i like how it sort of gets into jason's whole anti hero thing, strongly driven by "doing what bruce won't" while also driven by his own morals, both kind of frankensteined together. he thinks he's only in it for himself and justifies everything with being a part of an ultimate revenge plan against batman and the joker, but he's clearly operating by his own morals at the same time - taking out all his teachers who turn out to be traffickers or terrorists or whatever. like he rationalizes it as taking out the trash and again, doing what batman will never get close to, but it's more a self-deluded excuse …
