utrh au where jason knows exactly what went down after his death and is instead doing the red hood stuff because batman's reaction was to grievously maim muggers and petty thieves. because jason's a crime alley kid at heart and he knows what desperation looks like and why people turn to crime and he knows how much hospital bills can fuck up a person's life forever.
robin dies and batman ruins countless lives in the city he's meant to protect as a coping mechanism. it takes another fucking child becoming robin again to fix him.
why is this man being trusted as gotham's protector.

obligatory my understanding of dc is entirely from fanfic
idk i see a lot of takes where batman's grief spiral is pointed to as like
hey look he actually did care about your death jason!!
he beat the shit out of a bunch of people for your sake!
but like. batman was putting thieves in the er
he literally met jason because jason was stealing tires
red hood takes care of crime alley and tells batman to fuck off
not because of personal vendettas
but because if the child soldier gets hurt batman can't be trusted to do things right
