Summary
“Someone is dead,” she starts.
She can see he wants to interrupt, probably with some joke about how you can’t throw a rock without hitting a corpse in this city. She doesn’t know how to tell him his jokes are bad, so she pushes forward.
“He’s a man I thought I knew well. A man I thought knew me. Who understood what I wanted — who I was trying to be. He was the only one to know me in that way. But now… now he’s gone. And his final words—”
The stranger jolts. His attention is entirely hers.
“They make me wonder if he ever knew me at all. If…”
“… if you’d only fooled yourself into imagining something that wasn’t there.”
Battle for the Cowl Epilogue: Jason + Cass talk about Bruce’s will + their identity issues + don’t deal well with either.

Summary
Jason stares down at his script, feeling nothing.
“All I’m asking,” says TRAGEDY, “is for you to be yourself, Jason. Jason Todd has one job, and that’s playing Jason Todd.”
“Lucky for me, I’m a man of a thousand faces,” he grits out.
“And there’s nothing any of them can do to save him. Any story about you surviving is inevitably a story about Jason Todd’s death.”

Summary
Jason wasn’t looking for his past to return to it. No, if the way Talia and Damian were talking, it wasn’t a life that he wanted to be a part of. The few flashes of memories he got, the sounds and sensations and images, did nothing to change that. But he had to know, if for nothing else than closure. Whoever he was before deserved at least that much.
It was just his luck an alien ring and baby would appear along the way.

Summary
Jason can’t kill the first man who killed him, ‘cause then Dad can’t kill him instead.
Jason can’t kill the second man who killed him, ‘cause Dad’s already dead.
Jason can’t kill the third man who killed him, ‘cause Jason can’t die.
Jason can kill the fourth. He’s not allowed to, sure, but he can. He can. He can. He can.
(Or: Jason Todd spends his ninety-ninth night as Nightwing getting his heart carved out by Blüdhaven’s newest serial killer. Nightwing spends its hundredth day as Jason Todd making sure it never happens again.)

Summary
If there was anything in his life that Damian was confident of, it was this.
“Father, the Red Hood is Jason Todd.”
He saw his father tense, subtle enough that most would not notice. But Damian was not of the majority, he’d lived with the man long enough to notice his tells. The way his shoulders pulled back by mere millimeters, the slight scrunching of his eyebrows, how his eyes moved from tired to alert to disbelief to bone deep sadness in less than a second. Damian would be a disappointment of a student, let alone a son, if he failed to notice them.
It's also how he knew his father didn’t believe him.
