I think Paul needs to be told to back off on his 'let's go to ludicrous lengths to make everything rainbows and puppies' shtick more often. It's kind of overbearing for him to try and fix things that really shouldn't be fixed. Especially if he has to go to these lengths.

That's three sentences, and the last actually has one word too many.
Thank you, corrected.
I don't know. What do you know about murder and resurrection?

It's great to see that despite being a comic book world or based on one, and a low level one at that, that death is a bit of a revolving door if you how or when to look for it and in a world where literal gods exist so do the afterlife told by religion.
Also this update shows that while her brain upgrade did increase her empathy for her past actions Jade isn't as nonchalant about it compared to her canon self, and will strive to be a somewhat better person, especially with the fear of eternal punishment when she dies depending on her religious beliefs/outlook. Though it would be ironic that this version of Jade 'breaks' up with Paul not because he betrayed her trust, like Grayven, but because she thinks Paul's to good for her for all her does for her either directly or indirectly given her past experience with others being turbulant or nonexistent.
I can imagine if resurrections become a mainstream operation that accidents or events that have civilian casualties that will help curtail the death toll, plus certain businesses like insurance companies rewriting their policies to include possible resurrections at the cost of raising a customer's premium or specific situations where it can be considered free, maybe someone gets murdered and there's no clue on who the killer was so law enforcement can resurrect or perform a seance if the person is fine with being dead or not.
Or previously dead individuals sharing their experience in the afterlife, with those who condemned themselves sharing the horrors of whatever hell they experienced causing a drop in crime or at least a new awakening in spirituality and religion.

Common headcannon is that Ras' kept bringing him back hoping his continued existence would convince Batman it was ok to kill.

I'm having flashbacks to when paul was merged and the greenies beat him by having desires he couldn't fulfill. This is the same sort of pattern, he sees the end and he comes up with a means, but the issue is rooted in compassion and remorse so he's not really getting it. I think it's helping, a bit, maybe, but he's very much going about this the wrong way.

It's been a running theme of discussion that Orange Snek Enlightenment Paul has steadily adopted a steadily more inhuman mindset. Not a bad or wrong one, but...well...very orange and orange morality.
The amusing part is that this has made Grayven the more relatable of the two.
I assume you mean gestures; the Jester was Crime Syndicate Earth Joker (and thus heroic) and is rather dead.

Strictly speaking, I believe we only know that she doesn't want an ORANGE power ring. Given her increased capacity for empathy, I think an Indigo ring could be well suited for her, as I said previously. And as I also pointed out previously, he'd then have an allied user of every light of the emotional spectrum except Red and Yellow - only red if Siskin is somehow still out there. Himself and his corps with orange (not to mention the fucking Ophidian), Guy (and other green lanterns) with green, Alan with blue, Jade with Indigo and Zatanna with Violet (though she admittedly isn't directly a user of the Star Sapphire).
If either this happens or Paul meets an ally who uses the red light, I'll consider it likely that the other will happen and Siskin will still be alive.

Not really. It's six hours of story crammed into a two hour movie that was then told it had to share a room with the totally-not-a-love-triangle that is the Tony/Steve/ Bucky plot. It's also a textbook example how not to write an action movie, as it's pretty clear they were substituting CGI for script writing. All it needs is (more) blatant objectification of women and it could pass as a Michael Bay film.
Of course what Ra's doesn't realize is that, on a certain level, Batman wants the Joker around, as this sort of twisted mirror of himself.
Um. If Paul hits up the animated Green Lantern series, he could theoretically pick up Razer. And... Ion's daughter I think? Whatever Aya actually was.
Edit: Actually, Razer would be a very interesting person for Paul to meet. He's... actually a lot like Paul, with regards to the standards of his corps.
Notable traits are as follows:
- Genius, capable of calculating FTL jumps essentially by hand.
- Unusually focused for a Red Lantern, letting him create constructs instead of just throwing incoherent hate energy at a target.
- Knowledge of and willingness to utilize conventional weaponry, most notably bombs, knives, and shuriken.
- Trained with Saint Walker to learn anger management. This sort of made him weaker, except...
- It would be fair to say he's on the path to an enlightenment similar to Paul's. He recognizes the difference between simple hate and righteous fury, and has learned to rely on the latter.
Edit 2: Huh. Apparently if the show hadn't been cancelled (I sense a recurring pattern here) he would have become a blue lantern. Makes sense, considering the note the show closed on.

Completely worth it
About time she got around to telling him. Was't this pretty fucking obvious to just about everyone? Still now we can move along with the plot, maybe go talk to the League and explain things instead of making vaguely villain like statements to one of them before basically vanishing. That sort of stupidity never leads to misunderstandings or blue on blue fights no sir...
I'm sorry what were you saying I couldn't hear you over the tits I was watching.

"Well, if you insist."
"Thank you."
"It was hard trying to get power rings of all seven colors for the puppies, anyway. It's not really a proper rainbow unless you have all the colors after all."
"What."
"Green was the hardest. Puppies just don't do willpower. Plus the Guardians aren't really into puppies."
"What."
"On the plus side, I found the Hope Corgi!"
Hopefully we're done with creepy Paul.

Young Justice has some things that don't make sence.
But for all we know he was already using some miracle cream to do scarless plastic surgery...
And there is a reason the Batman Animated origin became canon. Same for making Mister Freeze a more tragic character instead of a generic villain.
Does Superman still just jump hella high instead of flying? Nope.
Although using that first (actually second, first one was a criminal) superman powerset would be fun for a SI. Tons of jokes of "I can't fly."
Is not just you.
Grayven is becoming more likeable while Oh El is basically developing a mental disorder due to orange light making his soul.

Personally, I think Grayven might have been able to unfuck their relationship, if he hadn't been immediately stripped of his capacity for hope (that he could do that) and willpower(to face the whole fiasco head-on). And love and avarice, but he recovered those quickly enough that their lack wasn't what was holding him back.

This bugs the ever living shit out of me. What ARE those? Has no one who writes comics ever actually MET someone with mental illness'?
Which is what he actually is.
I mean...I'd date the hell out of him. Bringing back my murdered friends? He'd need that power ring to replenish his strength after I got done.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In Young Justice, he could control all the different planet monsters at once via his multiple personalities. He's tradtionally completely immune to telepathy because he's either to mad or too sane for a normal mind to understand (whatever that means). He can infect people he talks to or interacts with to long with madness, twisting their minds. Harley wasn't special in that regard, it's just something he can do because insanity. And so on.
It's like 'Peak Human.' It's a superpower pretending it isn't a superpower.

I will not. It had Captain America overpowering Spider man (HAH!) and somehow not breaking his fists while trying to work the body of Tony's cannon shell proof POWER ARMOR.
Ah yes...I believe it was continuity: Stupid 750
He has power, and doesn't just use that power to punch things. I mean, this is literally what he's been doing since day one. Remember all that stuff for the team? Kon alone....
Speak for your self heathen! The true ORANGE shines brightest! No icky gray getting in the way.
<.<....GravyenXKon isn't nearly as hot thank you much.
I....thought that was just him being flippant. No, I can't accept it being anything but. Ugh....

He was the one hooked up to the control rig directing all the plants. Poison Ivy is the plant controller, and everything in that episode was showing he really was the directing intelligence.
Yes, there are incarnations of the Joker who are just disturbed but basically normal humans, but the Young Justice one is pretty explicitly one of the versions that are superhuman because of his mental state.

That's kinda why he needs to just step back for a bit. I mean is taking helicopter parenting to a frankly disturbing level. I think there was a series of comics where superman decided to become Big Brother and watch over the entire world fixing ALL THE PROBLEMS!
If you wipe everyone's asses for them they'll never figure out how to do it for themselves.

I always figured that the Joker has fourth wall awareness, but instead of taking Deadpool's existentialist route to coping with the revelation, he instead descended into utter nihilism. He follows the rules of his universe, not because he has to, but because he doesn't really feel he has anything better to do with his life than poisoning people in job lots. After all, they're fictional, so what's the harm?

Eh, it's not so much that he's doing it, it's that he seems to be doing it for all the wrong reasons. Also, he's kind of acting like a dick in the last few chapters.
