The fundamental problem with Jason is that he can’t really be reconciled with the rest of the Batfam without some SERIOUS work to address a lot of shit, and DC Writers and Editorial have neither the patience nor effort to do any of that, so it’s a constant back-and-forth of whether Jason is hanging out with the others in Wayne Family Adventures or getting beaten by Bruce and mind controlled by him into leaving Gotham and never coming back.
Every Robin is a reflection of some aspect of Batman, and Jason represents that pragmatic Batman that fundamentally knows crime will never truly go away, and as such does his best to control it to an extent. If you want Batfam Jason, then you’d need to have Jason and Bruce actually work through their beef and come to some common ground.
But Jason going back to the costumed vigilante life is retarded. He should be the opposite of Bruce and Dick in that he has no real connections to the super powered people he relied on who’s failed him. His goal should make a world where no hopelessly hopeful kid can get dragged off, crowbar'd and blown up waiting for some guy in a costume to show up and save him, only for said idiot to fail and everyone move on.
Jason should be reaching the places they aren't or can't to do what they don't/won't. He should be a reminder and embodiment of Bruce's success and failure. Since editorial is so obsessed with Batman not killing the Joker, Jason should represent what happens when hero fails to save the day. The victims save themselves by any means necessary.
