DC Blorbo: Jean-Paul Valley 👀
favorite thing about him: I do think he's in a bit of a unique position in the batfam because he's one of the characters who clearly both didn't choose to be involved in this life AND expresses interesting in quitting. Like he doesn't want to be Azrael at various points because Azrael IS a result of him having been brainwashed as a baby, and sometimes he is not in control. But he also needs to be Azrael to keep himself and his friends safe. (And the nit looked like in Sword of Azrael we were getting to a more treating them as two distinct personalities things, but I can't remember the resolution of that comic b/c I forgot to read the last issue ;_;)
headcanons: I headcanon that after NML he stopped working as a superhero and started working in the medical field with Leslie and eventually was officially trained, and that explains how we get nurse Jean Paul in the start of Sword of Azrael. he doesn't die randomly after 50 issues of directionless comics and then come back in a universe reset, he just took a temporary retirement :P
favorite appearances: I remember really loving Sword of Azrael (6 issue recent miniseries) when I started reading it, but I can't remember a ton so ATM lets say Batman: Sword of Azrael (4 issues 90s miniseries) and the first 25 or so issues of Azrael: agent of the bat

Oh we just remembered that the last thing Bruce said, at least on-page, to Jean-Paul and Azrael was no more deaths (see below cut), and then chronologically Arkham City: The Order of the World happens, and The System has Azrael go on this holy mission and…
— Arkham City: The Order of the World Vol 1 #2-3 (Jan-Feb 2022; 2021, DC Comics) by Dan Watters (W), Dani (A), Dave Stewart (C), and Aditya Bidikar (L).
(Under cut is Batman telling them no more killings, assuming that Azrael was the one to do them. Saying this again to avoid confusion: The below panels are prior to the above ones.)
— “Dark Knight of the Soul, Part One” of Batman: Urban Legends Vol 1 #8 (Dec 2021; 2021, DC Comics), reprinted in Sword of Azrael: Dark Knight of the Soul Vol 1 #1 (Aug 2022; 2022, DC Comics), by Dan Watters (W), Nikola Čižmešija (A), Ivan Plascenia (C), and Ariana Maher (L).

No tea no shade but I don't vibe at all with the idea that Jean-Paul needs to leave his religion to be happy. The mere proposition that Jean-Paul would have to change religion to have a healthy relationship with God and faith feels - like self projection.
Jean-Paul doesn't have to leave catholicism to be free of the order and to acknowledge that what happened to him was wrong. That's why I love his current mini so much: Jean-Paul is open about how the order was fucked up, but he still embraces his religion and shares his love for God. Sure, I cannot relate to having such faith, but I can relate to taking your own position inside religion rather than just leaving it or changing it. Jean-Paul*IS* supposed to struggle with his catholic guilt and fight his perception of religion (love, kindness, redemption) with what the order did (cruelty, death, war).
I just think Jean-Paul being catholic is key of his character and it's literally his plot so idk, taking that away makes me pretty awkward. That being said, I guess I could vibe with agnostic Jean-Paul? But still, I prefer him as he is in his current solo: Embrace the good things, reject the bad ones. Faith is what we made it and embracing religion is a very personal decision.
Also I need Jean-Paul and Helena Bertinelli to interact more and be given the stories they deserve so that people who have never read comics stop going "Jason Todd catholic and Mexican coded" please and thank you, DC.

Instead, I found the System. And I found that I could navigate it. Among other things, it holds my memories. All my agonies, trapped in glass.
