I'm really hoping he sticks with the kids, but at the same time I'm hoping that he becomes as vengeful and violent as possible (while also being cunning and smart, no 'dumb tough guy' tropes like some other comics have portrayed him as). Something I've loved about this book so far is the violence difference between the kids' battles and Jason's own work; the two guys the teens fight in the first issue were silly, scalpers robbing an arcade for trading cards, wearing silly animal masks. It was comedic, fun, lighthearted. But then Jason's own interactions with these two goons got rid of the masks, and became much darker and more violent. It's such a good way of visibly portraying the two different worlds, between the lightness and innocence of the Teen Titans vs Jason's more jaded outlook as a result of what he's been through, and the fact Jason is keeping all of this from the kids (like the interrogation, he tortures that guy for information but tells the kids he gets his info from some random source) shows his protectiveness of their innocence. I really love that duality, and I hope Jason stays so we can get more of that, plus some potential bleeding over from one world to another; Jason lightening up around the kids, and the kids having to come to terms with how dark and dangerous the world can really get.
