Bruce Wayne and Jason Todd are alike

Bruce Wayne and Jason Todd have a lot in common. Both of them are among the most stubborn heroes of all time. They both prefer to work alone despite being crucial members of their respective teams. Also, at one point, Jason had his own version of DC Comics’ Trinity. Artemis of Bana-Mighdall was Wonder Woman, Bizarro was Superman, and Jason was Batman.

Bruce and Jason even have a similar fighting style and are versed in fighting with swords. Looking at it, the only difference between the pair is how they were raised.

If Jason was lucky enough to have someone like Alfred Pennyworth around him, he wouldn’t have been as angry. Unfortunately, his father, Willis Todd, was a monster. Willis was a henchman who beat and killed his wife in front of Jason. Jason’s biological mother later tricks Jason into meeting her. This leads to Jason Todd being brutally beaten and killed by The Joker.

Bruce’s life was destroyed when he was a child but he had a strong support system around him; Jason did not. The only reason Bruce is even close to being well-balanced is because of Alfred. Without him, he would have been worse off than Jason. In fact, the only reason Jason has morals is also because of Alfred. He’s one of the only people who truly listens to him.
