I like this art! Bummer it's their only shot at the title.
Yeah, it was pretty well established that Early Jason didn't like schoolwork, but was decent enough at it though bored by classes. He worked at it because it was a strict job requirement for Being Robin, and his whole life was about Getting To Be Robin at that time.
I vaguely recall seeing back at the Other Place a couple pages of Jason at school being bored, and crushing on a random girl - who later offers him pot. Anyone recollect?
