I don't know that we're meant to disagree with Dick, though - to me he isn't presented as wrong, as biased. But that might just be my reading of it.

I was talking about the training simulation, where Bruce lectures Jason for not considering the civilians. You could read it as him not caring because, well, simulation - but to me that's not how it came across. You're right, though, looking back Jason really isn't that bad in this. I'm probably conflating it with other stuff Dixon has written with him.

The red hair thing doesn't even make sense, since Jason had black hair when he met Bruce. It's not true in the context of Pre-Crisis Jay, either - they dye was his idea. I just - do not understand it at all. I can deal with the rest, more or less, if Jason is just being an epic troll the whole time. Maybe he was trolling about the hair shit too. Really he died it red so Dick would notice him.

Oh, it's fine! I tend to ramble a bit myself.
